"That's outrageous! That person is incredibly audacious, daring to steal even a thousand yuan from my daughter!"
"Let's go! Yuelan, Mom will go with you to the Shen family to demand an explanation!"
Over the years, Liu Maocai has been the top leader in the village.
With the village chief's status, everyone had to respectfully call her Aunt Chen, and no one would dare to bully the mother and daughter.
If it weren't for the fact that Shen Zhiyu had a formal job in the county, was fairly good-looking, and that his family gritted their teeth and actually came up with the two thousand yuan dowry, it would have been different.
The Shen family, so poor they were practically dirt destitute, wouldn't even dare to set foot on their doorstep!
As she walked, Chen Chunxiang's face turned blue with anger, and the veins on her forehead throbbed.
She wished she could rush into the Shen family's gate right now and tear it to shreds to vent her anger.
The mother and daughter hurried through the country lanes and turned into the Shen family's courtyard.
She returned to the Shen family home in a fierce and aggressive manner, accompanied by her daughter.
At this moment, he is sitting in the courtyard, sighing beside the stone mill under the pear tree.
While feeling heartbroken that the leftover food from last night's banquet had been devoured by relatives and friends without leaving any for her own family, she was also racking her brains about how to hold onto the thousand yuan tightly.
"The food is gone, so be it. We've already eaten it all anyway, and it wasn't our family who paid for it. I've already pocketed that money, and nobody's getting it back!"
She muttered to herself, making plans in her mind while encouraging herself.
Just then, Chen Chunxiang's angry voice came from the courtyard gate.
"Mother-in-law, what do you mean by this? What about the dowry you promised?"
"Didn't we agree on this in person? Our Chen family would contribute 1,000 yuan as Yuelan's dowry. You're the elder, how can you keep it all for yourself?"
Chen Chunxiang stood with her hands on her hips, her voice loud and clear.
Standing in the sunlight, her face was full of anger, exuding the aura of a shrew.
I was already thinking about how to explain things when they arrived.
Upon seeing Chen Chunxiang's aggressive demeanor, he felt a sudden chill run down his spine, and his legs went weak.
But the thought of the thick wad of cash in his pocket made him stiffen his neck, puff out his chest, put on a tough act, and scream in response.
"Hmph! You're mistaken! Our Shen family gave a dowry of two thousand yuan in full. Everyone in the village knows that, and everyone praises us for being kind and righteous."
"You're already being generous by returning a thousand. In the end, it's still our Shen family's money. How can it become yours after it's gone through a roundabout way?"
"Besides, according to the old custom, the husband's family is in charge of the household. It is only right and proper for me to keep this money. What kind of daughter-in-law would take money on her own?"
"If you tell anyone, they'll laugh at you for not disciplining your daughter properly and for raising such an unruly child."
Chen Chunxiang was already holding back her anger and had come to cause trouble.
She was thinking that if she could get that thousand yuan back, she could give them a hard time.
I can say I've finally gotten my revenge in the village.
Before I even entered the gate, I was scolded!
She was so angry she felt like her lungs were about to explode. Her face turned red and white in turns, and her mind went blank. She then broke off all pretense and started cursing loudly.
"Bullshit! Who do you think you are, a stingy bastard who tries to profit from both sides? You dare to say my daughter has no manners? Bah!"
"If you don't spit it out today, I'm not leaving! You're shameless! You're even trying to swallow my daughter's dowry!"
Chen Chunxiang has a loud voice; she almost shouts it out.
The two women started arguing through the gate of the courtyard.
One spoke with a sharp and aggressive tone, while the other's voice was loud, fierce, and menacing.
The noise was so loud it almost turned the sky upside down in Qingshan Village.
The chickens and ducks in the yard were all scared away, and the dog tucked its tail between its legs and hid to one side.
Soon, many villagers ran out to see what was going on.
The men carried small stools and sat on one side, watching and discussing.
The women peeked out from behind doors and windows to listen to the gossip.
This scene was even more lively than a traditional opera performance during the Lunar New Year.
Su Qingzhi sat inside, leisurely fanning herself, listening to the growing noise outside.
She remained calm and composed, sipping her tea while peacefully flipping through an old book.
Fortunately, Shen Cunpu went out today and didn't encounter this turmoil.
Otherwise, with those two tigresses jumping around and arguing, he would have been driven crazy by their noise.
She sighed inwardly, but her face remained completely expressionless.
Let it be lively, the more chaotic the better.
This will give her a good look at just how messy this house really is.
The bigger the commotion, the better.
This will also let everyone see clearly that it is indeed a bit troublesome.
But Liu Yuelan is no pushover either!
She knew perfectly well that Liu Yuelan was the best at putting on an act.
She appears gentle, considerate, dignified, and virtuous in front of others.
In fact, he is very thoughtful, not only speaking shrewdly but also acting impenetrably.
When I used to watch TV dramas, I always heard people praise Liu Yuelan for being lucky, saying that whichever man married her would become rich.
Liu Yuelan seemed to be born with a destiny of wealth and honor.
But what do we think about it now?
Her "gentle and virtuous" mask has been torn off by reality.
Once the incident comes out, everyone knows what kind of person he is; no one is blind.
Furthermore, her performance today has further convinced Su Qingzhi of her judgment.
The shouting match outside the door continued.
Shen Zhiyu was caught in the middle, trying to mediate between the two sides and calm the argument, but the result was completely unsatisfactory.
Instead of resolving the conflict, he provoked public anger.
He was scolded harshly by both sides, and was rendered as pathetic as a drowning dog.
Even the usually gentle Liu Yuelan...
