Chapter 59 A Good Lesson
Zhou Tong looked at Shi Ding's way of turning the tables and the hateful look in his eyes, and he knew what this person's mentality was.
It would be a lie to say it wasn't painful.
Over the years, she was afraid that others would say that Shi Ding was a son-in-law, and that he would feel uncomfortable. At home, she always took his feelings into consideration and was very careful in what she said and did.
Normally, she would not buy cloth to make clothes for herself, but she was willing to buy cloth for Shi Ding.
She never restricted his freedom to do anything he wanted to do.
She tried her best to let him make the decisions on all matters big and small at home.
He took on carpentry work for whatever price he asked for.
But these days, she went out to inquire, and the number people said was completely different from what Shi Ding said.
That is to say, if she made a small cart and the stone dealer quoted her a price of 200 coins, she might be able to sell it for 300 or 400 coins.
He made a lot of money by earning the difference.
All the private money she had hidden away was stolen by Shi Ding.
That night, he hit Ni'er on purpose to piss her off, and he took advantage of that opportunity to steal the silver she had hidden.
After knowing this, Zhou Tong was so angry that he was shaking.
But she knew she had to stay calm and hold herself back in order to handle things properly.
Zhou Tong's eyes turned red with anger, and she felt a little aggrieved, with tears welling up in her eyes, but she held back and didn't let them fall.
"Shi Ding, speak honestly. Ask yourself, how have I treated you? You actually said I was cruel and vicious. You used me to do carpentry work to make money, and the price you quoted to others was different from the price you told me, and you made a profit from the difference."
"You usually don't do anything at home. I'm the one doing the carpentry work, cooking, and washing clothes, and you still think it's hard. Even our daughter can see the change in you..."
"Don't think I don't know just because you deny it. I've had people following you for days. This woman is someone you've been supporting with my money, and this boy is your son..."
"Your son is already four years old. No wonder you've been away so often in recent years. You said you were helping me with carpentry work, but that's not the case at all..."
Thinking about the changes in Shi Ding in recent years, she felt like a knife was stabbing her heart.
Every time she said something, Shi Ding frowned and didn't want to listen, saying that her words were rude.
Sometimes she even blamed herself, wondering if she had said something that accidentally hurt his feelings, so she became more careful in what she said and did, trying her best to be nice to him.
Although he was a son-in-law, she just wanted to prevent him from living like a son-in-law at home.
But she didn't expect that this man would plot against her in such a way that he even ignored Ni'er.
"And you stole some of our private money. You're so cruel! You took it all. How are Ni and I going to live? Are you so cruel that you don't even care about your daughter?"
Shi Ding's face flushed with anger. "She's just a little girl, why would you care about her?"
After saying this, Shi Ding realized that he was wrong.
One of the three men who came with Zhou Tong angrily said, "Shi Ding, Master didn't insist on choosing you to marry into his family. He even asked you about your wishes, and you agreed. You also said you would treat Junior Sister Zhou well. Is this what you call good?"
"Back then, Shi Ding was very good at speaking and showing off. He helped Master with things and even showed concern for Junior Sister Zhou. We looked down on him for that kind of behavior, but now we think it was so fake. If it weren't for Master, he would have become a beggar. Now he's so ungrateful..."
"He's married into the family. No matter what the reason, if he did something wrong to my junior sister, he should be beaten to death according to the village's customs. It's not too late to report it to the police now."
These three people had all been apprentices under Zhou Tong's father. Zhou Tong's father was a good man and taught his apprentices sincerely.
So they learned real skills and now do carpentry work in various villages. They make a living from carpentry work and their lives are much better.
They learned skills and called him Master. If anything happened to the Master's daughter, they would naturally take care of it.
Liu Cheng and Zhou also came.
Zhou said loudly, "Yes, report it to the police and see how he can deny it."
Shi Ding was also frightened when he heard that he was going to report to the police.
He married into the wife's family, which is different from normal men. His behavior is serious.
The people around watched the excitement for a while and then started discussing it.
"We know this guy from the neighborhood. He lived here a few years ago. We thought he and that woman were a couple. We've heard that little boy call him dad many times."
"That's right, he still refuses to admit it. This person is so despicable, he deserves to be taught a lesson."
"It's infuriating to hear. It's not easy for a woman like her to support a family. He's a son-in-law who does nothing but eat, drink and have fun all day long. He has the nerve to do such a thing. Why doesn't he just kill himself?"
"He also stole money. He didn't think about what would happen to his wife and daughter."
"I'm really angry. I'll beat him up."
Women understand how difficult it is for women, especially when they hear the whole story and know what happened, they feel even more sorry for the woman.
They threw rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs in their hands at Shi Ding.
Shi Ding was instantly in a mess.
After he married into Zhou Tong's family, he was very cautious at first for fear of being kicked out. Later, he got to know Zhou Tong's temper, and after he got a hold of him, he became very proud.
He felt that he was very capable and his heart became wild.
He felt a little disgusted when he saw Zhou Tong doing rough craftsman work all day long.
There is no such thing as a young, gentle and docile girl.
But he didn't know, and he didn't understand at that time, that to make money he had to work.
Unless he works to earn money to support his family.
He is now using the money Zhou Tong has worked so hard to earn to support his beautiful wife, so he has the right to look down on this and that.
Perhaps it was just because he had been able to squander money without doing anything over the years that he developed a arrogant attitude.
"Zhou Tong, you are slandering me. It's not like that at all. It's you, woman, who's restless. Yes, it's you who has the problem..."
Shen Yueyao was originally taking Su Erya around the crowd and walking to the side.
Suddenly I heard these noises and knew it was something happening at Zhou Tong's home.
Su Erya listened and patted her lips, saying, "So there are such scary men. My Third Uncle is not like that."
Su Erya was also very angry.
After hearing this, Shen Yueyao couldn't bear to listen any longer. She picked up a stone from the ground and threw it into the crowd like a hidden weapon, hitting the stone man on the leg.
Shi Ding suddenly knelt on the ground.
It was like kneeling in front of Zhou Tong, and everyone felt relieved just watching.
Shen Yueyao walked over and said, "Sister Zhou, there's no need to waste time talking to him. Just report him to the police. If you do, both his woman and his son will be thrown in jail."
"It doesn't matter if he doesn't admit it. We can use blood test to prove our relationship."
"Anyway, the government will definitely handle it impartially."
Shi Ding was frightened and said, "No, no, I won't report it to the police."
Shen Yueyao said: "If you don't want to report it to the police, then you can explain the problem yourself and spit out all the money. Sister Zhou will divorce you. Otherwise, either you will both go to jail. Otherwise, since you are the one who married into the family, Sister Zhou will tie you up and prevent you from going anywhere. Then you will be unable to do anything."
