"So you're just going to stand by and watch your parents get bullied by a woman, and do nothing about it?"
The two girls, Li Xue'er and Li Fei'er, nodded.
The carriage soon stopped in front of the two girls' parents' house.
Their family has three mud houses and one thatched hut.
Without even thinking, it's obvious that those three mud-brick houses belong to the twin sisters' brother and sister-in-law.
That thatched hut was no bigger than the palm of your hand. It was where Li Xue'er and Li Fei'er's parents lived.
"Father, Mother, we're back..." Before Jiang Tian's carriage had even come to a complete stop, the two little girls jumped off.
Old Li and his wife quickly and shakily walked out of the house.
Old Li's eyes were bloodshot.
Old Li's wife's eyes were red and swollen from crying, looking like peaches.
When Li Xue'er's sister-in-law saw a carriage parked in front of their door, she immediately shut up.
In those days, owning a horse-drawn carriage meant you were definitely from a wealthy family.
Ordinary families didn't even have a donkey cart, let alone a horse-drawn carriage.
As soon as Li Xueer's sister-in-law Wang Huizhen saw Li Xueer, the two of them walked in and immediately started cursing: "You two unwanted little sluts... Weren't you dead? How come you're back..."
Wang Huizhen immediately shut up when she saw Jiang Tian.
Jiang Tian, with an extraordinary demeanor, walked straight towards Wang Huizhen and asked, "What did you just say?"
“I said that my two sisters-in-law are really unlucky. The county magistrate has chosen the two of them to be sacrificed to the Dragon King.”
I, as the sister-in-law, have cried more than ten times. Why are my two sisters-in-law so unlucky?
Wang Huizhen's mouth is like a bearing, turning back and forth.
This woman has a sharp tongue.
However, the woman thought about it again.
Jiang Tian is a good-for-nothing, and everyone in the nearby villages knows that.
In Wang Huizhen's opinion, the carriage must have been borrowed by Jiang Tian.
"Hey Jiang Dalang, what are you doing here pretending to be all high and mighty?"
“I’ve seen this carriage before. It belongs to Gao Jun, the village chief of your Peach Blossom Village.”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Tian sneered, "You really have a good eye. How do you recognize this car? Have you ridden in it before?"
"Of course I've ridden in it. Gao Changcheng used it a lot to take me out for fun."
This shameless woman speaks so frankly about even such private meetings.
It's clear that this woman has reached the extreme of shamelessness.
"The car used to belong to the Gao family, but now it's mine?"
"How much did you spend? This carriage of the Gao family is quite good; it's comparable to the carriage of the county magistrate in the city."
"I didn't spend a single penny!"
Wang Huizhen laughed when she heard this: "You didn't spend a penny, why should they give you the carriage? Just because you're called a good-for-nothing, just because you're called Jiang Dalang?"
Wang Huizhen walked up to Old Li and his wife, pointed at their noses and cursed, "You two old bastards should have died long ago."
"You two old geezers, you just dumped your two daughters on this good-for-nothing?"
"Now that Jiang Dalang is here, the Li family can't afford to pay for you two little sluts to live with him."
“Jiang Dalang must pay the bride price today, otherwise he won’t be able to leave this house.”
Wang Huizhen, hands on her hips and looking like a shrew, walked up to Jiang Tian and said, "We don't want much, just what we ask for according to our custom of bride price."
"A married daughter is like water spilled from a cup; you can give me ten taels of silver for each one."
After Wang Huizhen finished speaking, she held up two fingers.
Jiang Tian slapped her across the face, knocking her teeth out on the ground: "Since when did it become your place to make decisions about the Li family? I don't want to hit a woman, but you're too shameless."
Jiang Tian pointed to the carriage at the gate. By this time, the courtyard was already crowded with people.
"I'll tell you how I got the Gao family's carriage." Jiang Tian slapped her again, this time knocking Wang Huizhen to the ground.
"You coward, how dare you hit me? Let me tell you, I've lived this long and no one has ever dared to hit me. I'll fight you to the death."
Before Wang Huizhen could get up from the ground, Jiang Tian stepped on her face.
“I wiped out the entire Gao family, and I also had your bastard Gao Changcheng executed by slow slicing.”
If you keep spewing such vulgarities, I'll have you slowly sliced to death.
Wang Huizhen was stunned for a moment after hearing this.
However, the woman thought again, how could the Gao family be so easily killed by a good-for-nothing?
Besides, Jiang Tian is a good-for-nothing. What right does he have to execute someone by slow slicing? Who would listen to him?
"Impossible. The Gao family has connections in both the legitimate and underworld circles. I know Gao Changcheng best."
"The second daughter of the Gao family married the second-in-command of Erlong Mountain."
"Gao Jun and Magistrate Gao Ming are cousins."
"If you dare to kill them, you're courting death."
Jiang Tian raised his foot and stomped hard on Wang Huizhen's face.
"I've taken over Erlong Mountain, and I've also killed that county magistrate of Gaoming."
Wang Huizhen was stunned; she simply couldn't believe it.
What kind of knowledge could a shrew from the countryside have?
The most important person she could come into contact with was the village chief.
"Really?" Wang Huizhen changed her tune again.
Even if she didn't believe Jiang Tian's words, his expression and tone of voice made her have no choice but to believe him.
Jiang Tian was too lazy to waste words with this shrew.
It's not worth it.
Giving Wang Huizhen even a second glance is already giving her too much credit.
As someone who had transmigrated from another era, Jiang Tian was used to seeing the true colors of such people.
“Father, Mother…” Li Xue’er and Li Fei’er, the two little girls, held their parents’ hands and were unwilling to let go.
"Jiang Dalang, come inside and sit down." Li Xue'er's mother had met Jiang Tian before.
Jiang Tian waved to Wang Huizhen and said, "I brought a lot of things with me this time. Unload everything from the car."
Wang Huizhen was overjoyed to hear this.
She ran happily towards the carriage.
When the petty scoundrel arrived at the carriage, he was so surprised that his mouth dropped open.
Four dogs that had just been shot dead.
A slaughtered sheep.
A calf.
There are still 500 jin of grain left.
For a family that hadn't had food to cook for days, so much stuff was an absolute gift.
"You must be my brother-in-law," Wang Huizhen said with a fawning smile to Jiang Tian. "Since you're already here, why did you bring anything?"
Jiang Tian didn't say anything, but followed the old couple into the thatched shed.
There was nothing inside the thatched hut except for a layer of dry grass on the ground.
The hay was still wild thatch.
This grass is very prickly when you sleep on it.
"Big Brother..." Li Xue'er's mother rubbed her hands together apologetically, "Our living conditions are a bit tough, please forgive us."
"Honey, hurry up and go to the neighbor's house to borrow two stools."
