"Yes, Gu Lao Er and I are in-laws. His home is my home. You are just a new bride. What right do you have to stop me?"
She had heard about Gu Lao Er's marriage to Jin Fenghuang in the neighboring brigade, and she came here today to make a quick buck.
There's no one inside right now, so it's up to her to decide how much stuff to take. I heard the new bride's dowry includes a TV and a washing machine, which are incredibly valuable.
She moved a few items back home, and then she had enough for her youngest son's wedding dowry, and also enough for her grandson's wedding dowry. What a wonderful thing that would be!
"I'm sorry, my parents aren't here. If you need anything, please wait outside. If not, please come back another day."
After Ruan Qiushui finished speaking, she pushed away the old woman's hand that was trying to pry open the door frame and closed the door directly.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked around with eyes like hooks, their calculations practically jumping out of her head. She'd be a fool to let them in.
"Big brother, second brother, break down the door!"
She's furious! How dare she push her? She'll kill that brat, or she's not a Ma!
"Mother, this isn't a good idea."
They exchanged a helpless glance on Monday and Tuesday.
They had all tried to persuade their mother at home, but she wouldn't listen. She insisted on listening to the third son's family's instigation and coming to the Gu family to take advantage of them.
Is it so easy to take advantage of the Gu family? They have many strong and united men in the family, and their eldest uncle is the captain of the Red Flag Brigade, which is an official position.
They weren't afraid of being retaliated against later.
"What, do you think your mother is too old and her words no longer carry weight?"
"Old man, you died young. Why didn't you take me with you? I'm all alone and pitiful. Even my son doesn't respect me. What's the point of me living?"
Ma Jinhua instantly changed her mood, plopped down on the ground, and started pounding her chest and slapping her thighs.
"Okay, okay, we'll break down the door, just stop crying."
Forced into a corner on Monday and Tuesday, they had no choice but to step forward.
"That's more like it."
With ease, Ma Jinhua patted her bottom and stood up.
She knew that the two honest and obedient brothers were most susceptible to her charms.
"Hey girl, could you please open the door? Otherwise, we'll have to break it down."
On Monday, he knocked on the door twice and shouted loudly inside.
"Hey little sister, did you hear that?"
It was repeated on Tuesday.
"I told you to bang on the door, not to chat."
Ma Jinhua kicked her two sons in the buttocks, which made her liver ache with anger.
There was no response from inside. Where did Ruan Qiushui go?
After she closed the door, she immediately ran out of the backyard to go to the field to get help.
There were four people at the door, so her stun gun could only be used to surprise them.
What if she shocks one or two people, and then the rest take the stun gun? In the end, she won't be able to explain herself.
"Father, eldest brother, second brother, fourth brother, come home with me quickly, someone is here to cause trouble."
Ruan Qiushui ran to the field, where the father and his three sons were busy weeding and watering. Hearing Ruan Qiushui's words, they put down their tools and ran home.
"What happened to Gu Lao Er's family?"
"Shall we take a look?"
Those members who were nearby heard it clearly, and driven by curiosity, they wanted to go along.
"What are you doing? Not earning work points anymore? Get back to work!"
Gu Xianjin was also in the field, and he quickly suppressed the curiosity of these people with a few words.
"No, I can't trust you to do that."
Gu Xianjin told the scorekeeper to keep a close eye on things, then turned and headed towards the second son's house.
"Hey, Gu Laosan, something's happened to your second brother's family. Why don't you go check on them?"
A nosy aunt walked up to Gu Tuanjie and asked him.
"I wouldn't be able to help much even if I went."
Gu Tuanjie replied indifferently.
He's not going. He was humiliated by Qian Cuihua last time, and he's still feeling uncomfortable. Why would he rush up there? He'd be asking for trouble.
Something happened to my second brother's family? Serves them right! Who told them to be so high-profile lately?
Golden Phoenix? Bah! I'm afraid I won't have the fortune to enjoy it.
"What are you doing on Monday and Tuesday?"
"Eldest brother, second brother, fourth brother, stop them quickly."
When Gu Guangrong arrived home, Zhou Yi and Tuesday had already broken down the gate and were about to go inside.
"Uncle Gu".
On Monday and Tuesday, they stopped what they were doing and were pulled aside by the three Gu brothers.
"Useless thing."
Seeing that her two sons didn't resist at all, Ma Jinhua became angry and pushed Gu Guangrong, who was blocking her way, and led her third daughter-in-law inside.
"Ma Jinhua, you old bitch. Have your teeth grown back since you lost them last time? Are you in such a hurry to come and die?"
Ruan Qiushui was afraid that the four men would be too embarrassed to fight with a woman, so she went around calling Xie Xiuying back.
On the way, she explained the situation to Xie Xiuying, who kept cursing her the whole way.
"Xie Xiuying, don't think I'm afraid of you. If you dare to touch me again, I'll make sure your Gu family goes bankrupt."
Since her family is short of money, extorting some money from them would be a good thing.
"Damn it, so you're here to make money off me, huh?"
Xie Xiuying almost laughed out of anger.
They've come all the way to my door and are banging on it, and she still thinks she's right.
"Auntie, let me remind you. Your current actions constitute the crime of illegal intrusion into a residence, which carries a penalty of up to three years in prison or detention."
"I advise you to be sensible and pay compensation to settle the matter. If you are unwilling to pay compensation, then we will go to the police station to report the case."
Ruan Qiushui stood behind Xie Xiuying, looking at Ma Jinhua's shameless face, feeling nauseous.
If you still want benefits, I'll skin you alive.
"What nonsense are you talking about? This is my daughter's house. I can come and go as I please. Don't try to fool me."
She didn't believe he was still in jail.
“My third daughter-in-law is a proper high school student. She knows a lot of things, so what she said must be true. If you don’t pay up, I’ll immediately have my fourth son go to town to call the police and have someone arrest you.”
“I know exactly where your Zhou family’s hideout is. You can run away, but you can’t hide.”
Xie Xiuying exclaimed how satisfying it was.
If the third son's wife had married into the Gu family earlier, they wouldn't have had to pay two yuan in compensation for beating up Ma Jinhua last time.
Although Ma Jinhua lost two teeth, she felt it was a great experience and worthwhile. However, when it comes to managing household finances, she should still try to save money wherever possible.
"I...I don't believe it."
After Xie Xiuying said that, Ma Jinhua was half-convinced.
Is it really possible to get arrested and jailed for simply smashing a door?
“Ma Jinhua, you brought your family to cause trouble in our Hongqi Brigade. Believe me or not, I’ll go and have a good talk with your brigade leader.”
Captain Ma happens to owe him a drink.
“You are abusing your power. This is a private matter between me and Gu Lao Er’s family. What business is it of yours to interfere?”
Ma Jinhua was a bit timid; their brigade's captain, Captain Ma, was very skilled at disciplining people.
