Zhao Yuru also grabbed a teacup and splashed it at Madam Wei, angrily cursing her.
"Wash your stinking mouth!"
"How dare you! Who gave you the audacity to say such nonsense!"
Madam Wei was splashed with water, her face soaked, and tea leaves stuck to her forehead. She cried out in surprise and quickly stepped back, but then she became angry.
"Madam, I came to arrange this marriage for the sake of the princess! The princess is on the verge of death, and a marriage to ward off bad luck can save her life. What's wrong with that?!"
"Besides, even if you die, there will be someone to bury you with..."
She still wanted to try, but this completely infuriated Old Lady Li and Zhao Yuru.
Zhao Yuru rushed forward and grabbed Madam Wei's collar, slapping her twice so hard that Madam Wei's vision went black.
Old Mrs. Li even grabbed the tray and started banging it on her head like crazy.
"I'll teach you to spew filth, I'll blind you! You're the one who's going to die, your whole family is going to die!"
The eldest grandson of the Chen family is clearly about to die and plans to find someone to be buried with him; otherwise, why would he offer a dowry of three thousand taels?
This is purely to buy a "companion" for my grandson!
If the girl is really sent there, the eldest grandson of the Chen family will die first, and the girl will have to follow him, and she will be forced to do so!
What's most hateful is that the Chen family and the Wei family are nothing!
How dare they set their sights on a princess! They're utterly audacious!
Madam Wei screamed in pain as she was beaten.
Her family was a family of brokers, and they were mostly involved in buying and selling people and acting as matchmakers. She had seen a lot of this since she was a child, and she had made a lot of money from it over the years.
While I can't say everything goes smoothly, I at least consider myself quite capable.
Unexpectedly, she had met her match at the Li family's place. At this moment, she could no longer maintain her "Madam" demeanor and shouted at the top of her lungs, "Help! Help! The Li family is going to kill someone!"
"I came to your door out of kindness, and even if you don't want to, you can't beat me like this! There's no justice, no law!"
Before Li Laotai and Zhao Yuru could retort, Tao Hongying had already rushed out of the kitchen with a kitchen knife in her hand.
She was busy frying meatballs, making a sizzling sound, and didn't hear what was being said inside.
She guessed that the woman was some kind of self-proclaimed shaman, so she didn't take her seriously.
Little did they expect that just as the meatballs were fried, they would hear the words, "Now you have a companion on your journey to the underworld."
Her mind was about to explode, and she just burst out!
"Go to hell! You cursed my daughter, I'll kill you!"
Tao Hongying was truly ruthless; she swung her gleaming kitchen knife at Madam Wei!
Madam Wei was dizzy from the beating and was just about to catch her breath when the kitchen knife arrived.
She screamed and turned to run, but she was a second too late.
Tao Hongying's cleaver sliced open her outer and inner garments, revealing a patch of white skin on her back.
Madam Wei felt a chill run down her spine and was so frightened that she ran away in a panic.
"Murder! Help!"
The village chief and Uncle Zhao returned from the second village and were talking under the shade of a tree opposite the Li family's house.
Earlier, Jia Yin had said he wanted to expand his pig and chicken farms.
The two old brothers have just gone around to different places and plan to make their move in a few days.
Taking advantage of the cooler early morning hours and the hour before sunset, if the whole village is mobilized, it can be almost finished in about half a month.
Nowadays, Suijintan has plenty of money and manpower, so dealing with such a situation is not difficult at all.
As the two were having a lively discussion, a woman ran out of the Li family's courtyard.
The woman's clothes seemed to hang in front of her, revealing a large expanse of her back.
The two instinctively turned their heads to look elsewhere.
This is extremely indecent!
When Madam Wei finally saw the outsiders, she thought she had met her saviors and ran over frantically, hiding behind the two of them.
"Uncle, help me! Waaah! I kindly introduced a marriage to the Li family, and not only are they ungrateful, they're trying to kill me!"
The village chief and Uncle Zhao both frowned and avoided her pulling.
Before the two could speak, Tao Hongying struck them on the head with a kitchen knife, followed by Grandma Li and Zhao Yuru, who had already chased after them.
Tao Hongying was furious and didn't care whether she accidentally hurt the village chief and Uncle Zhao. She threw the kitchen knife in her hand!
Madam Wei screamed and shrank back, narrowly escaping being beheaded, but her hair bun was cut off.
Stray hairs fell down, covering her head and face, along with her tattered clothes.
At this moment, Madam Wei was truly worse off than a beggar.
The village chief and Uncle Zhao were shocked to see the kitchen knife embedded several inches deep in the tree trunk.
The village chief couldn't help but raise his voice and ask, "What happened?"
Old Mrs. Li slammed the tray in her hand, cursing, "This blind bastard actually came to propose marriage to Fu Niu'er!"
"The other person is about to die of illness, and said he wants to be buried with Fu Niu'er so that he will have a companion on the road to the underworld!"
"What?!" The village chief's eyes immediately turned red, and he was so angry that he looked like a cat with its fur standing on end. He pulled out the pipe from his waistband and banged it at Madam Wei.
"Go to hell! Your whole family is dead, but our princess is perfectly fine! I'll beat you to death, you blind bastard!"
Uncle Zhao was furious. He grabbed a tree branch as thick as a child's wrist and chased after Madam Wei, whipping it mercilessly.
Madam Wei originally thought she had found two people to speak the truth, but little did she expect that she had just escaped one wolf's den only to fall into another!
Fortunately, the coachman and the old woman who came with her saw this and mustered up their courage to help her, finally managing to pull her onto the carriage.
Before the carriage door could be closed properly, the driver cracked his whip.
The horse, in pain, lifted its legs and ran off, throwing Madam Wei off again. Her legs dragged on the road, but her hands clung tightly to the carriage door.
They dragged themselves along, kicking up clouds of dust, looking utterly disheveled!
Even the furious Old Lady Li and the others couldn't help but burst into laughter upon seeing this, exclaiming, "Serves them right! They deserve it!"
"You blind bastard, how dare you come here with your tail between your legs!"
"Pah! Do you think our Li family is easy to bully? You shameless bastards!"
Hearing the commotion, Madam Wen quickly came out to inquire. As for Ye Shan and Dong Mei, they had already stood guard to the side when the village chief and Uncle Zhao started fighting.
When Madam Wen heard the whole story, she was furious. In the end, she advised Old Lady Li, "Auntie, it's time to let Fu Niu'er get better slowly."
Grandma Li nodded and sighed, "There hasn't been much progress on the second son's side yet. We originally wanted to delay for a few more days, but it seems that won't work now."
"All sorts of monsters and demons have come out of nowhere, do they really think our Li family is easy to bully!"
Tao Hongying also said, "Mother, let's send a message to Second Brother."
"Not only does Fu Niu'er need to get better quickly, but this Wei family also needs to be investigated."
"Okay!" Old Mrs. Li called out to Ye Shan directly and gave him a few careful instructions.
Ye Shan nodded, picked ten jade melons from the melon patch, and then went into town.
Jiayin was busy on social media for a long time last night and was quite tired, so she slept in late and had no idea she had missed such a big event.
Following the aroma, I ran to the front yard and saw fried meatballs in the kitchen. I happily picked up a bowl and ate them as I searched for the door.
Seeing everyone gathered together, she asked curiously, "Grandma, Mom, why are you all standing at the door?"
