Yes, Qiao Lian'er changed his surname and became a full member of the Qiao family, which is a beautiful symbol.
Zhao Lizheng is quite thoughtful.
Everyone was very supportive, and their respect for Zhao Lizheng grew even stronger.
“This is outrageous! You've all gone too far! Your grandson has changed his surname, how can we Song family members put our faces here? This old woman can't live anymore!”
Seeing that things were not going well, Old Lady Song immediately lay down on the ground, rolling around and making a fuss.
Shen and Chen also rolled onto the ground.
As everyone saw, three people were rolling around in the Qiao family's courtyard, covered in dust.
It wasn't that Old Lady Song was so shameless, nor that Madam Chen and Madam Shen were so reckless.
The three members of the Song family are being held captive at the Han family's house, so this is all they can do to cause trouble.
Otherwise, there would be no chance at all.
Song Dahua: "Yes, we can't just let it go like this. If you want to change your surname, you have to give us something in return. You have to give us some compensation. If we just let you change it like this, wouldn't it make us Song family members look like cowards?"
The true intentions have finally been revealed!
Qiao Lian'er raised a mocking smile: "Then what kind of compensation do you want?"
Old Mrs. Song was rolling around on the ground when she heard this. She stopped, got up, and dusted herself off.
"Fifty taels of silver must be paid in compensation, or this matter is not over."
Fifty taels! Everyone gasped in surprise.
Moreover, they all realized that the real purpose behind the Song family's summons of Zhao, the village head, to cause trouble at the Qiao family's house was this.
They had heard that the eldest Song brother, the second Song brother, and Song Daming went to the door of a wealthy family in town to sell wood chips as valuable items, but they were discovered and arrested. They were only released after paying thirty taels of silver.
However, the Song family asked for fifty taels right off the bat, which was twenty taels more than that. This was really unethical.
Zhao, the village head, was furious: "Nonsense, utter nonsense! Fifty taels of silver in compensation? Why don't you just rob someone on the street? As the village head, I cannot support your unreasonable demands. Go home now."
"Then I'll die here, my blood splattering across the Qiao family's courtyard." Old Mrs. Song's body trembled, and she prepared to rush towards the wall.
"No compensation is not an option. Ask the guys we have if they agree."
“It is against the rules for my grandson to change his surname. You can’t just not contribute anything, otherwise you’ll be going too far.”
According to the Song family's uncles and cousins.
Old Mrs. Song told them that if they could get fifty taels of compensation, she would share some with them; otherwise, they wouldn't have made such a shameful scene.
Zhao Lizheng gave his brothers a wink, and immediately some of them rushed forward, pinned down Old Lady Song, and dragged her out of the Qiao family courtyard.
"If you're going to die, die in your own home. Don't make a mess of other people's yards."
"Changing your surname is registered and reported at the county government office. If you're not happy about it, go and make a fuss with the county magistrate."
Shen and Chen, who were still rolling on the ground, were also dragged away.
The others are all juniors, and the family is missing two of the most influential men. Now, they don't know how to make a scene. Anyway, they think they have over a hundred taels of silver, so wouldn't that be enough to pay back the remaining thirty taels? Therefore, they don't want to make a big fuss. After all, they are young and will get married in the future, so they have to save face.
Moreover, their attachment to surnames is not as strong as that of adults.
Song Dahua and Song Xiaohua also pretended to curse a few times before leaving.
I felt a bit relieved after leaving; I didn't have to be yelled at by the villagers anymore.
The remaining relatives and collateral branches of the Song family looked at each other in bewilderment. The real owners of the family had all fallen silent. It was not appropriate for them to stay, but they were also unwilling to leave.
The object in my hand felt incredibly hot.
Qiao Lian'er said, "Uncle Zhao, I think it's better to go to the county government and report it to the authorities. Tell them that some people in the village are dissatisfied with the county magistrate's decision to allow the change of surname and are causing trouble to demand compensation."
Zhao Lizheng nodded: "Good idea, it will be of great use. You can make the trip, and the village will cover the cost of the carriage."
