Leaving aside Granny Zhao's sleepless night filled with anger, a battle also broke out on Zhao Dahua's side, all because of that silver bracelet.
It is said that Zhao Dazui originally gritted her teeth and spent one tael of silver to make this silver bracelet because she thought that Zhao Dahua would bring it with her as part of her dowry, and wouldn't this bracelet still be hers in the future?
She gritted her teeth and had the silver bracelet made. She generously gave it to Zhao Dahua as part of her dowry. However, after Dahua married into the family, she never wore the bracelet again. She had hoped that after seeing Zhao Dahua wearing it, she would take it off under the pretext of keeping it for her, but now that opportunity was gone!
Zhao Dazui was somewhat anxious, so he asked tactfully. However, Zhao Dahua pretended not to know.
This greatly worried Zhao Dazui. Did this little hussy want to keep the silver bracelet for herself?
That won't do. I saved up every penny to buy this; I can't let that little slut keep it all to herself.
Of course, if she can live a good life with Da Niu, she can still have this silver bracelet after I pass away.
Seeing that his tactful approach had failed, Zhao Dazui asked directly, "Dahua, I remember there was a silver bracelet in your dowry, right? You're still young, and such things are quite valuable. Let your mother keep it for you!"
Zhao Dahua was taken aback by Zhao Pozi's words. Where did this silver bracelet come from? She had never seen it before. So she blurted out, "Mother, where did this silver bracelet come from?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Dazui was immediately displeased: "Dahua, this is no laughing matter. This was made by your mother herself and placed in your dowry. How could it not be there? Do you intend to secretly keep it for yourself? We're family now, so we can't hide things from each other."
Zhao Dahua became even more confused: "Mother, what are you talking about? I really don't understand."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Dazui's face immediately changed: "Fine, you little hussy, you want to keep this silver bracelet for yourself, don't you? Let me tell you, there's no such rule in our Zhao family. Hurry up and hand this silver bracelet over to your mother."
Seeing Zhao Dazui turn hostile, Zhao Dahua also got angry: "I have no idea about any silver bracelet, but you want a silver bracelet, is it because you want to go back on your word after giving me a dowry of one tael? Oh, I see, you want your dowry back, right? So you were trying to get something for nothing."
Zhao Dazui was furious upon hearing this: "Fine, you heartless little whore, how dare you slander me!"
Zhao Dahua retorted, "What slander! I think the facts are just like this. You regretted the one tael of betrothal money and wanted me to go back to my parents' home. What silver bracelet did you want? It's just that you used that one tael of money to buy a silver bracelet for me to take back. In the end, you both made a profit, didn't you?"
"I'll beat you to death, you little hussy, for spouting nonsense!" Zhao Dazui was furious. He picked up a broom and started whipping Zhao Dahua.
Zhao Dahua couldn't stand this insult, so she immediately ran up and shouted as she ran, "Come and see! Come and see! The mother-in-law is bullying her daughter-in-law! The mother-in-law is tormenting her daughter-in-law! The mother-in-law is demanding her daughter-in-law's dowry!"
Seeing that Zhao Dahua not only refused to admit her mistake but was also throwing a tantrum, Zhao Dazui became even angrier: "Da Niu, you're still watching! Quickly hold your wife down."
"Okay, Mom." Zhao Daniu scratched his head sheepishly and walked towards Zhao Dahua.
Upon seeing the tall and burly Zhao Daniu, Zhao Dahua nervously swallowed and said, "Daniu, let me tell you, you can't listen to your mother. If you dare to listen to her, grab me, and I'll never forgive you."
"Listen to your mother, a good child listens to their mother." Zhao Daniu firmly disagreed, grabbing Dahua tightly.
"Zhao Daniu, how dare you grab me! Let me tell you, I'm not finished with you. Don't even think about getting into my bed again!" Zhao Dahua panicked when she saw that Zhao Daniu not only listened to Zhao Dazui but also pinned her down. She immediately threatened him.
Her words only angered Zhao Hulu, who had been observing the situation. Zhao Hulu had married this daughter-in-law to have a grandson, and if she wouldn't let him sleep with her, when would he ever get to hold his grandson? He immediately became furious: "Old woman, teach her a lesson! How dare she cut off the Zhao family's lineage!"
Granny Zhao nodded and walked over to Zhao Dahua. Before Zhao Dahua could object, she raised her hand and slapped her twice, stunning her. Zhao Dahua immediately felt wronged and said, "You're bullying me! I want a divorce from Zhao Daniu."
"Divorce? You wish! I spent one tael of silver on a bride price and another tael of silver on a bracelet for you, and now you've swallowed both of those things. You think you can just walk away? No way!" Granny Zhao got angry and slapped her twice more.
Zhao Dahua dared not speak. She didn't know about the silver bracelet, but she knew about the dowry of one tael. Judging from this, Zhao Dazui didn't seem to be lying. Could there really be some silver bracelet?
Where is this silver bracelet? Why didn't my mother tell me?
Seeing that she had been tricked and was now silent, Zhao Dazui became even angrier and did not admit her mistake. "Let me tell you, you little hussy, if you dare to mistreat my Da Niu, I'll never forgive you. And this silver bracelet, I'm giving you until tomorrow to hand it over, otherwise..." Zhao Pozi slapped her hard again and continued, "You can't escape this physical pain."
"Grandma, I was wrong, please stop hitting me, I know, I'll pay, I'll definitely pay tomorrow." Zhao Dahua winced in pain, but a wise woman doesn't suffer in silence, so she immediately gave in.
Seeing that Zhao Dahua's attitude of admitting her mistake was good, Granny Zhao turned around, rubbed her wrist, and went into the main room. Zhao Hulu glared at Zhao Dahua and followed her in. When Da Niu saw that his parents had gone into the main room, he also left Zhao Dahua behind and followed behind.
Seeing that Zhao Daniu showed no pity for her and followed Zhao Dazui and the others without looking back, Zhao Dahua felt even colder in her heart.
She wiped away her tears and went back to her room. Looking at her swollen face in the bronze mirror, she felt endless sorrow and grievance. She could only cover her mouth and weep silently.
How much she missed her Brother Wu at that moment! If her Brother Wu knew that she had been humiliated like this today, he would surely be heartbroken.
At the same time, she was also wondering whether the silver bracelet actually existed. Did it really exist, or was Zhao Dazui just trying to get back the one tael of silver from the betrothal gifts?
In any case, I must go back and ask my mother tomorrow.
Just then, Zhao Daniu pushed the door open and came in, holding a meat bun in his hand.
Zhao Dahua felt a warmth in her heart, thinking that although this fool was a bit simple-minded, he still knew how to care for people.
But to everyone's surprise, Zhao Daniu plopped down in the chair and finished the meat bun in just a couple of bites.
Zhao Dahua was so angry that he stared in disbelief, then went to bed in a huff, turning his back to Zhao Daniu and refusing to say another word.
However, Zhao Daniu also got into bed and said, "Dad gave me these buns and told me to eat them. He said that if I eat them, I'll have the strength to give Dad a grandson."
After saying that, he pounced on Zhao Dahua despite her resistance...
