"That's all your fault." Old Mrs. Song insisted on making herself sound reasonable even when she was wrong: "You were the ones who sold that wood chips and made money. Can't we make that money too? It's your fault for not telling us what it was."
“As in-laws, you are selfish and secretive, which has harmed our Song family. The fault lies with you. Now the Han family is demanding thirty taels of silver to release them. In addition to the thirty taels, you should also give them an extra twenty taels as compensation for their shock.”
This shameless statement once again crossed the line for the Qiao family; they never expected to be able to play such a game.
Old Mrs. Qiao sneered: "In-laws? We weren't in-laws a few days ago. Do you want me to show you the letter severing ties?"
"Everyone who finds a way to make money has to tell you? Who decided that? The wealthy families in town are all richer than the last. Why don't you go and ask them how they make money? Go and learn from them."
Madam Shen: "So what if we signed the severance agreement? We're still former in-laws. Does being former in-laws mean we can disregard all feelings? You're all too heartless. What's the difference between you and the jackals and wild beasts in the mountains?"
Ms. Chen said, “We can’t control how others make money, but you have to tell us if you do, otherwise it will be a waste of our time as in-laws.”
Qiao Lian'er knew that arguing with this kind of person was pointless, no matter how right you were or how eloquent you were, because she would find a way to defeat you with her stupid logic.
"Grandma, let's kick them out, so they don't dirty our yard. Besides, they can't understand human language, and their brains are even more stupid than animals. They're not even as good as the piglets in our pigsty."
Grandma Qiao had also run out of patience.
He shouted at the top of his lungs, "Someone has broken into our Qiao family's yard! They're trying to steal our things! Grab your weapons and beat them out! If anyone is killed or bleeds, don't blame the Qiao family!"
As she spoke, Old Lady Qiao nimbly took a few steps forward and swung her stick at Old Lady Song.
"Awoooooo!"
Old Mrs. Song was hit hard on the knee and fell to the ground in pain.
Then they saw Lu raise her cleaver, Qiao Xiaomeng raise his stool, and Da Cheng and Dayong roll up their sleeves, revealing their strong and muscular arms. The two-month-old puppy also barked at them.
The Song family was so frightened that they screamed and ran away.
Just now, Old Lady Qiao's shout attracted many villagers to the door to watch. Seeing this scene, they couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Old Mrs. Song crawled out, propping herself up on the ground in front of the Qiao family's door, gritting her teeth, her face contorted in anger.
"You just wait, this matter won't end here. Zhao Lizheng is back, and he will reason with the Song family."
Grandma Qiao: "Zhao Lizheng is not blind in both eyes and mind."
"There is one thing you still owe the Song family. You acted on your own initiative, thinking you could get away with it without paying any price. How could that be?" Old Mrs. Song said with great certainty.
He instructed Shen: "Invite Zhao, the village head, and tell him that the Song family and the Qiao family have a dispute to resolve."
Da Yong found it unbelievable: "You don't actually think that Village Chief Zhao would support your nonsense, do you?"
Song Xiaoming: "Hmph, you'll find out when the time comes."
Then he ran off.
Zhao Lizheng's house wasn't far away, but when he went there, Zhao Lizheng wasn't home. The foreman from the town had just arrived, and Zhao Lizheng had accompanied him to the bridge construction site.
"You wait here. We'll come back to demand justice when Village Chief Zhao has some free time."
Old Mrs. Song felt that two days was enough time; even if she came back tomorrow, it would still be fine.
It was only then that her knee recovered, and she limped home, glancing back at the Qiao family members with a vicious look.
