Xianjin lowered his head and saw that Miss Wang's trousers were soaked. The snowy wind blew the fabric tightly against her skin, and her legs were trembling.
Xianjin looked up and, as expected, her sleeves were a little too short, revealing a part of her wrist covered in purple bruises and long bloodstains.
Miss Wang sensed Xianjin's gaze, lowered her eyes, clenched her lips, and clumsily hid her hands and feet, trying to hide the marks of years of being pinched, beaten, and scolded.
This is not ordinary beating or scolding, this is malicious abuse.
Xianjin's fist hardened.
Chen Fu also saw it and was furious. "Bullshit! Bullshit! So what if she's your sister? She doesn't have a single piece of good skin on her body. What big mistake did she make to deserve such a big punishment?"
Seeing Chen Fu getting angry, the village head finally explained in a low voice, "…They are not born of the same mother. The two brothers were born to the deceased original wife. After the stepmother died, the two brothers began to seek revenge... But this sister is stubborn and never knows how to bow her head. When she gets angry, she even fights with her two brothers!"
The village head tried to smooth things over, "Oh my! No matter what, it's still a family matter, a family matter!"
Household matters?
Domestic violence is not considered violence?
If there is a grievance, it should be avenged; if there is a vengeance, it should be avenged… Why didn’t you take revenge when the mother was still alive?
Only after her mother died and her father no longer cared about her did she dare to bully a little girl.
It’s really amazing!
Xianjin was about to speak, but he heard Chen Fu's voice distorted with anger, and his tone was high and loud, "Family affairs?"
"Well then! We at Chenji will never buy this kind of straw that has been taken care of by others!"
"Paper made from this kind of grass is always smelly! It's bad!"
Chen Fu waved his sleeves, "Let them carry the straw back! We don't want it!"
Xianjin looked at Chen Fu and loosened his fist.
Chen Fu's resistance was always willful and stubborn. He was obstinate, straightforward and confusing. For example, he insisted on letting He Ainiang's coffin go through the main door, and he insisted on writing "my wife" on the tablet. He also said, "Because you are bad, I don't want your straw anymore" - there was no trace of the shrewdness of a businessman, but a kind of reckless and straightforward attitude.
No more straw?
Because the paper industry in Jing County was prosperous, straw was sold at a higher price than rice!
The second brother of the Wang family panicked instantly and looked to the head of the village for help.
The village head said, "Chen Sanye is a bodhisattva. Wang Da and Wang Er, come and kowtow to Chen Sanye, put down the straw, and treat me well when you go back, okay?"
This "is it possible?" is asking Chen Fu, which has the implication of making a big thing small and a small thing nothing.
"How much?"
A clear and cool voice sounded behind Chen Fu.
Xianjin asked as he took the straw-wrapped sackcloth from Zhou Ergou and draped it over Wang Niangzi, "How much money do you want to let me go?"
Wang Da and Wang Er looked at each other. The fatter Wang Da gritted his teeth and said, "What do you mean? My son still has to study for the imperial examination! His aunt can't be a servant!"
Good citizens shall not be slaves, and the descendants of slaves will never be eligible to take the imperial examinations.
Xianjin glanced at Wang Da, raised the corner of his lips and smiled, "Don't worry, just because you are a father, your son, your grandson, and your descendants are all not good at studying."
Xianjin pulled Madam Wang to his side and said, "If your nationality is not changed, the Chen family intends to hire your sister as a cleaning lady. How much money do you need to pay to move her household out of the Wang family? - I remind you, this is the last time I ask you. If you still don't give me a price, you can take the straw back. Next year or the year after, we will go to Dingqiao and Zhangdu to collect straw from Shatian."
It is equivalent to buying out the construction period.
The status is still good, and in addition to paying the money to the family first, they also need to give corresponding remuneration every month.
This is different from Tuesday Dogs. Tuesday Dogs can quit their jobs at any time, but those who marry into a family will most likely work for the rest of their lives.
In fact, this policy is a protection for women. At least the monthly allowance given to women by their masters can be used freely by women, and their relatives cannot take it by force. Women can even rely on their masters to purchase permanent properties and private houses.
The Chen family has a similar attitude towards Xianjin.
Xianjin's attitude became tough. "Dingqiao's 'Sanlicun' and Zhangdu's 'Liantangzao' are both rising stars. It doesn't matter whose they are. In Jing County, our Chen family wants to harvest straw. I don't believe that if I smash your bowl, I won't be able to take someone else's pot!"
Zhuangtou was a little panicked.
If the Chen family didn't come to Anwu to collect the grass, he would starve to death!
The head of the village winked at Ambassador Wang.
Wang Dageng asked for the price, "Thirty taels of silver. If you are short of a copper coin, I will drag the girl back immediately!"
"Bullshit!"
The girl from the Wang family rushed out, pointed at Wang Dabi and cursed, "How much silver did you plan to take when you sold me to Wu Quezi, the lantern-making man at the entrance of the village? Only eight taels! If I didn't comply, you and Lao Er would beat me again!"
The Wang family girl wiped her eyes. Her tears were salty and the wound on her face was a little painful. "Boss Wang, I'm telling you, since someone offered money to save me, you should have taken the money and left! If you want to kill me, I'll jump into the well! I'll make sure you lose everything, not even a penny. Instead, you'll have to give me a mat to wrap me up in a mass grave!"
Xianjin was stunned at first, then he started laughing.
I thought the girl who was beaten was a soft persimmon. Now it seems that she is a tough one.
That's right. If I had been a little bit soft, I would have been sold to the ends of the earth by these two cannibalistic brothers.
The more onlookers there were, the more they were all laborers on Anwu's farm. After hearing about the lawsuit, someone who knew the truth hid behind a straw stack and shouted, "Boss Wang, don't be greedy! Eight taels of silver is enough to kill two pigs for the New Year!"
Chen Fu was so angry that his hair stood on end. He took out two silver ingots from his arms and threw them in front of Wang Da and Wang Er, "Ten taels of silver, take it or leave it!"
