On the way to Taohua Village, the Guan brothers imagined many possible outcomes and were mentally prepared to fall out and fight to get the money back. However, they never expected that Zhang Cuihua's father would not dare to take the money.
When Old Man Zhang saw Guan Lao San step into the main hall, he stepped forward, grabbed Guan Lao San's hand, and stuffed the wad of money into his hand. He also waved his hands repeatedly to explain that the Zhang family did not touch the money, and that it was Zhang Cuihua who took it on her own initiative and had nothing to do with them.
What I mean is, although it is right not to ask for money, how can there be such a father? The Guan brothers can't do anything about it.
Maybe it's just that the best person met a weirdo, no one should blame anyone.
When Boss Guan saw that Old Man Zhang returned the money to the third brother, he breathed a sigh of relief and quickly stood up with a grin on his face to smooth things over.
The Zhang brothers looked at their father in silence. They couldn't understand why he had given so much money back to his eldest brother-in-law. With that thousand yuan, they could live comfortably for decades to come. They beat their eldest sister just because their father told them to. They knew their eldest sister must have done something wrong to deserve the beating, but they still didn't understand the logic behind it.
Guan Laoliu spat in the direction of Zhang Cuihua and asked his third brother to divorce Zhang Cuihua. While it was still early, they should go directly to the commune to handle the procedures. The Guan family would not want this woman for even a day longer.
Old man Zhang frowned, lowered his head and listened to the performance of the Roaring Six Emperors, and then said nothing. Old Lady Guan came on stage and questioned Guan Lao San again and again, asking why he divorced his daughter, who gave birth to two grandchildren for his family, and now that he had money, he wanted to give her up. No way!
Guan Laoda stepped out to smooth things over, saying the divorce had nothing to do with money. It was because the brothers had prepared to divide the family property and the food coupons. They had just gone to the brigade to divide the households and land. Before they could divide the money, the brothers' sisters-in-law took it back to their parents' home. What would happen to their large family if they took it all? Besides, this wasn't marrying a wife to start a family, it was raising a thief! Who would want a wife like this? You have a son, too. What would you think if your son married a wife like this, who stole everything from her parents' home? Would you want a wife like this?
Old Mrs. Zhang was speechless. If her sons had brought a daughter-in-law like that, she wouldn't have been allowed to stay in her house for even a single day and would have kicked her out long ago. Then, her eyes swirled and she came up with another brilliant plan. She started playing the family card with Guan Lao San, hoping to get Zhang Cuihua to follow her back to Guanjia Village and pretend the incident had never happened.
The brothers of the Guan family had already agreed that it was impossible to let Zhang Cuihua go back. The brothers had a sullen look on their faces and ignored her, so Mrs. Zhang failed to play the family card.
Guan Laowu and Laoliu were very cunning. They pushed through the crowd and went into the inner room. On the kang was a pile of flour and other food that Zhang Cuihua had brought back. The food coupons were on top wrapped in a small handkerchief. The two brothers went up to pick up the food coupons and put them in their pockets. They picked up the food and other things and took them out without hesitation.
At this time, Old Lady Zhang was blocking the door and refused to let them take it out no matter what, saying that it belonged to the Zhang family and they could not take it away.
Guan Lao Da didn't tolerate Old Lady Zhang either. He turned and started to leave, yelling, "Third and fourth brothers, come with me to the brigade to find someone. Let's report to the police. The Zhang family sent Zhang Cuihua to steal our money and food. We caught them and they still refuse to return it. Let's have the commune arrest them and have them all thrown into a squat sled and shot to death."
Guan Lao San and Guan Lao Si followed him out without tamping down the tamping stone.
