Chapter 64 Getting a Clue
Even Mrs. Cai was stunned at this moment.
Reverse negotiation?
Is this possible?
If I could really marry again with the dowry given by my ex-husband, that would be so wonderful!
Little Cai looked at Zhang Yuniang with hope.
Zhang Yunniang was still scolding her brother: "You are a scholar, but you don't even know how to do this kind of good thing. If it gets out, won't people laugh at our stingy Zhang family?"
Zhang Guangzong was so angry when he heard this that his nose was about to be crooked. He said, "You are a married woman, how can you meddle in your mother's family's affairs? Is this your business? Get out of here!"
Zhang Guangzong could never have imagined that just because he was mean to Niu Niu, his sister, who had originally decided not to care about the matter, suddenly turned against him and started making trouble.
When Zhang Yunniang heard this, she was not scared at all.
Because Liu Xiaoru was standing by with a broom, ready to help at any time.
"How dare you talk to my sister like that! My sister is willing to take care of your household affairs, it's your blessing!" Liu Xiaoru swung the broom with great vigor.
Being beaten by a man was painful enough for Zhang Guangzong, but being beaten by a woman was even more painful.
This matter has dragged on for too long, and the people who went out to check the list have returned one after another.
The tenants all sighed that the rent of this house was really worth it. From Wang Yaozu to Zhang Guangzong, everyone who lived in this house was about to get divorced. The house was bustling with activity one after another, and there was no end to it!
Zhang Yunniang continued to talk nonsense: "Although your wife did something wrong to you, she did save your life. You were so sick and confused. If she hadn't come out and made a scene, you might have been burned to death. For saving your life, you should add at least thirty taels to her dowry."
The onlookers couldn't help but be misled by Zhang Yunniang when they heard this, and they all started to make a noise: "Zhang Guangzong, be generous, don't skimp on the money you should give!"
Zhang Guangzong was so angry at this group of ignorant people that he fell backwards. If Cai hadn't been sleeping at home and forgot to bring him an umbrella, would he have caught a cold and his life was hanging by a thread? It was all her fault, and now she had the nerve to bring this up!
"She is the one who caused my cold..."
Before Zhang Guangzong could finish his words, Zhang Yunniang interrupted him: "You caught a cold because you are weak. Don't blame others for everything. It was raining that day and many people got wet, but how come you were the only one who caught a cold? Look for the reasons in yourself and don't blame others for everything. You have been afraid of taking on responsibilities since you were a child."
Zhang Guangzong was almost angry to death. He always knew that Zhang Yunniang was good at talking, but he never expected that her words could bring a dead person back to life.
"She gave birth to a son for you, which continued the roots of our Zhang family. It's a huge contribution. You have to add another thirty taels to her dowry, otherwise it would be unfair to her contribution." Zhang Yunniang said.
The 300 taels of divorce money that Zhang Guangzong wanted was still a confusing matter. Zhang Yunniang had already asked for 160 taels of dowry on behalf of Xiao Cai.
"I don't even know if the son she gives birth to will be mine or not!" Zhang Guangzong said angrily.
"If it's not your child, then you have to give him more money!" said Zhang Yunniang.
Zhang Guangzong looked at her in disbelief: "Do you want to listen to what you are saying?"
Zhang Yunniang said: "Although the child may not be yours, he at least calls you dad. There are many childless people out there who are willing to spend money to buy a son to raise. If this child is not your own, you will have to give her an additional twenty taels of dowry."
Zhang Guangzong felt his head buzzing when he heard this. He was completely unable to convince Zhang Yuniang. Just when he didn't know what to do, he saw Xiao Cai hiding behind Zhang Yuniang and laughing.
Zhang Guangzong was immediately overwhelmed by anger and said without hesitation: "You are so dedicated to helping Cai to harm me. Do you know that she plans to kidnap your daughter and sell her to a fool as a child bride?"
When Zhang Yunniang heard this, she was shocked. She turned her head and looked at Xiao Cai with a look as if she wanted to eat her alive.
"I think you should be sold to a fool as a wife! How dare you have bad intentions towards Niu Niu!" Liu Xiaoru turned around with a broom and hit Xiao Cai.
Xiao Cai was too close and was completely unprepared. The bamboo sticks on the broom hit her face hard, leaving three bloody marks in an instant.
"My face! My face!" Little Cai covered her face in panic.
This face is her capital for a second marriage, and she is unwilling to let it be damaged in the slightest.
"You are a bad guy with a black heart and rotten lungs! I will beat you to death today!" Liu Xiaoru cursed.
"Stop hitting him, stop hitting him, it will kill people!" Little Cai was so anxious that she was about to cry.
Zhang Guangzong looked at this scene with great pride, and he moved back to the city on his own initiative. He said to Zhang Yunniang, "Sister, this kind of person is so ruthless, why should we help her? You might as well help me instead of helping her. Let's go find her lover together and make a fortune from her."
Zhang Yunniang's eyes did not warm up at all: "Kidnap and sell people, you seem to be very skilled, was the waiter kidnapped by you?"
The abducted second son is an everlasting pain in the hearts of Zhang Yunniang and her husband.
It is precisely because of the painful lesson of their child being abducted that the couple dare not let their child out of their sight every time they go out.
Zhang Guangzong's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. He looked around and tried his best to pretend to be greatly insulted. He said, "Sister, why do you think of me like this? I am also a scholar. Xiaoer is my nephew. How could I do such a thing?"
Zhang Yuniang observed his expression carefully. She had never thought about Zhang Guangzong before, after all, the child was lost in the county town.
She clearly remembered that Zhang Guangzong said that day he went to Cai's parents' home to drink with his father-in-law and did not have time to commit the crime.
But when Zhang Yunniang saw Zhang Guangzong's evasive eyes when he spoke, she immediately realized that Zhang Guangzong was guilty and he was lying.
Zhang Guangzong and Xiao Cai eventually divorced. Zhang Guangzong received no compensation, and Xiao Cai received no dowry. Xiao Cai moved out on the same day, and apart from a divorce letter, she was not even able to take her own clothes with her.
Zhang Yuniang returned home in a daze.
Gu Mingda was watching the three children writing. When he saw that something was wrong with her, he quickly pulled them to the next room.
"What's wrong with you?" Gu Mingda asked in a gentle voice.
Zhang Yuniang threw herself into her husband's arms and sobbed softly.
Gu Mingda patted his wife gently on the back and waited quietly for her to finish crying.
"Zhang Guangzong... Xiaoer was kidnapped... It might be related to him... He feels guilty... He and Cai had thought about kidnapping Niuniu and selling her to a fool before..."
Zhang Yuniang spoke vaguely, but Gu Mingda understood it all. His eyes suddenly darkened and his hands hidden in his sleeves clenched into fists.
"Are you sure he kidnapped the waiter?" Gu Mingda asked.
Zhang Yunniang said: "I know him. When he feels guilty, his eyes will wander. This incident must be related to him."
Gu Mingda frowned.
Zhang Yunniang felt sadder and sadder as she thought about it. She cried and said, "But I don't have any evidence... If it is proven that he did it... Will there be hope of finding Xiao Er? Where did Xiao Er go? Is he okay now? It's all my fault... I'm useless... I can't even take care of a child..."
Gu Mingda quickly comforted him, "It's not your fault. There were too many people that day... It's not your fault... I will find a way to pry open Zhang Guangzong's mouth. Believe me, I can find evidence. Don't worry, we can definitely find Xiaoer. He must still be somewhere, waiting for us to pick him up."
