Wei Erzhuang and his wife are both very reasonable people; we should get along well with relatives like them. We should also stand up for them when things happen.
Bai Shuang is quite familiar with her family, although she can't quite obey their orders yet. But she can go out for a stroll with them from time to time.
Chang Xiaohu called Bai Shuang and they went out.
Aunt Wei was puzzled. "How did they choose such a daughter-in-law during the matchmaking process?"
Song Yan smiled and said, "Who knows?"
Wei Xiaogu initially said that such a daughter-in-law could work. Moreover, their brigade was too poor; most women didn't want to marry there. The woman's family would only marry her off for a high dowry. The dowry was higher than in Qingshan brigade, usually twenty or thirty yuan, while Lu Daqin's was ten yuan, the same as in wealthier brigades.
If Song Yan knew what had happened, she would definitely say that Wei Xiaogu was too greedy, trying to make a profit from this. She had told Wei Da Niang that it was a dowry of thirty yuan.
However, when Liu Shitou accepted the money from Aunt Wei, he didn't mention that the bride price was ten yuan.
If Aunt Wei knew that Lu Daqin's betrothal gifts were unusual, she would definitely advise Liu Shitou to inquire about it, and the marriage might not actually happen.
Song Yan only found out much later. It just goes to show that those who do many evil deeds will inevitably bring about their own downfall…
Before it got hot, Chang Xiaohu and Song Yan went to tidy up the garden.
"Second Sister-in-law, our garden is so beautifully planted!" Chang Xiaohu picked a cucumber and took a bite.
Song Yan: "I've told you so many times, wash it before you eat it."
Chang Xiaohu chuckled, "The fresh, juicy cucumbers are delicious."
"What did you hear?" Song Yan asked.
Chang Xiaohu: "At first they didn't say anything, but later..."
Lu Xingtian: "Take your temper in. You think you can fight here?"
Lu Daqin: "I understand!"
"Liu Shitou's family hates you to death. You'd better watch yourself. With your strength, not everyone can beat you. That woman just now could easily take you down if she wanted to," Lu Xingtian said.
"Impossible! I..." Lu Daqin protested. Perhaps realizing that saying this would displease Lu Xingtian, she stopped.
Lu Xingtian wasn't really angry. "Don't mess with just anyone. Especially Liu Shitou's aunt's family, from the elderly to the children, you can't afford to offend any of them!"
That young woman just now could catch a rabbit with her bare hands, can you...?
Lu Xingtian then told Lu Daqin about Song Yan shooting the wolf pack.
Lu Daqin never expected that such a thin and weak woman could be so capable.
“It’s good for you that they’ve severed ties with Liu Shitou. If you still have any dealings with her family, just act like you’re sensible. Don’t anger them and they’ll turn on you,” Lu Xingtian said.
Lu Daqin obediently agreed.
"Don't just promise, keep your word. Didn't I tell you not to lay a hand on those two old women? If you kill one, you'll have a place to eat for the rest of your life." Lu Xingtian was a little angry.
“They always scold me, and the things they say are really nasty. I’m so hardworking, I can earn my own food, and I’m not eating their food…” Lu Daqin murmured.
"Isn't Liu Shitou young? And your father-in-law is still in good health. They can withstand your slaps, but those two old women can't."
Solutions are found by people. It's not just about using your hands. With your strength, you could accidentally kill someone. Lu Xingtian was also worried about this.
“I didn’t hit them this time, I pinched them. She only said that Liu Shitou had gone to find someone to help her when she got angry. She also said that the Wei family was quite powerful,” Lu Daqin muttered.
"Your mother-in-law went too far, so the Wei family broke off relations with her. If the Wei family keeps meddling in your affairs, you'll be in big trouble."
Don't pinch them next time; it leaves marks. You have to do it properly so they suffer in silence.
"I know, I know. I couldn't help it this time, could I? Last time the old lady scolded me too harshly, so I made her drink chili water," Lu Daqin said cautiously.
After Lu Daqin finished speaking, they fell silent for a while.
"Big brother, I think you want me to torture them..." Lu Daqin asked tentatively.
"You think it's wrong for me to help you?" Lu Xingtian's voice suddenly turned cold.
"No, no, I misspoke. Brother, I was wrong. If it weren't for you, I would be beaten every day." Lu Daqin's tone softened.
"They should pay for the sins they committed in the past."...
Chang Xiaohu: "After that, they didn't say anything more. When we got to the brigade headquarters, they were quite polite to Erzhuang, and they took Liu Shitou away directly. I followed them for a while. We hadn't gone far from the brigade headquarters when Lu Daqin kicked Liu Shitou several times. She even told him to go home, take off his pants, and let his mother see if she felt sorry for him..."
"Lu Xingtian knows me and our family quite well! The sins they committed... I don't know what sins they committed. They abandoned their own child..." Song Yan clearly understood that Lu Xingtian's last sentence implied revenge. What grudge did they hold?
“That child wasn’t wanted, it was stolen,” Chang Xiaohu said.
"It was stolen?" Song Yan's worldview was shattered. Wei Xiaogu, having no son, stole a child—that was despicable enough. Then, after having her own child, she didn't want this one anymore, tormenting it relentlessly until it died, then throwing it away! "Wait, how do you know that child was stolen?"
Chang Xiaohu lowered his head somewhat guiltily.
How could Song Yan forget Chang Xiaohu's extraordinary hearing? "When did you hear it?"
