Chapter 80: Grab your weapons and get revenge!
"Sister-in-law, please go and take a look at Dong Niang. She jumped into the river to commit suicide!" Tai Jizong's voice changed.
The short and fat man who usually smiles is now as flustered as a headless fly.
Yang Lihua and the others were startled. They dropped their bowls and rushed to the front. They helped Tai Jizong carry Liu Dongniang into the house and lit two braziers and placed them next to her.
"What's going on? What happened? Didn't Dong Niang go back to her parents' home?" Master Tai San pulled his old brother who followed in, his face full of anger.
Regardless of whether Liu Dongniang is good or bad, she is the daughter-in-law of the Tai family and a member of the Tai family.
What's more, Liu Dongniang is usually hardworking and diligent. Even though everyone was still praising her just now, she had a close call with death in the blink of an eye and came back in such a miserable state, no one could tolerate it.
Old Master Tai walked breathlessly, and when he slowed down and was about to speak, Tai Yongyue started crying.
"Woo woo, Third Uncle, avenge my mother! It was my grandma and uncle who did it. They scolded my mother in the house, and my mother ran out and jumped into the river.
"If my grandfather and father hadn't been behind and found the river, my mother would have died! Woohoo, mother, my mother is so pitiful!"
Grandpa Tai held his grandson in his arms and sighed, "Ask Dong Niang. It's not easy for us to go into the Liu family, and we don't know what's going on."
Liu Dongniang's pale lips had recovered a little color at this moment. She leaned tightly in her sister-in-law's arms, trembling.
Yang Lihua was both angry and distressed with her sister-in-law. She was usually nice to her except for being too soft on her parents. She had been bullied so many times over the years, why didn't she learn her lesson?
But at this moment, she couldn't scold him. Instead, she had to coax him in a gentle tone.
"Dong Niang, how did the Liu family bully you again? Tell everyone. You should know that you are the daughter-in-law of the Tai family, not a member of the Liu family! If you have any grievances, don't hide them. Everyone in the family can help you."
Zhuzhu was frightened before, but now seeing her aunt looking so pitiful, her little heart was filled with heartache. She walked forward with her chubby little legs, and regardless of the fact that her aunt was soaked, she hugged her hanging arms and coaxed her in a baby voice.
"Don't cry, Auntie. I'll give you all Zhuzhu's snacks. Those who bully you are bad guys. They will..."
The fat girl tilted her head, feeling a little lost, not knowing how to curse. In the end, she could only utter, "They won't have food to eat or water to drink!"
Everyone was amused and confused when they heard this. The child was kind-hearted. The most vicious thing she could think of was not having enough food and drink.
Liu Dongniang looked at her little niece in front of her, and then thought about the cruelty of her blood relatives. The contrast was really sad.
She couldn't bear it any longer and burst into tears.
"Wow, Dad, Sister-in-law, they lied to me that my mother was going to die of illness. I rushed back and found out that my grandma was faking illness! My mother forced me to come back and steal silver. She wanted one hundred taels! She said she wanted to build a yard for my brothers!
"When I refused, my brother beat me and said... he also said that if I didn't send the money, they would beat drums and gongs and go to all the villages to tell everyone that... I slept with many bachelors when I was at my parents' home, and that my body was damaged and I couldn't have children!
"When my reputation is ruined, my family will divorce me and sell me to a brothel..."
Everyone was stunned when they heard this. They had seen people cheating their daughters, but they had never seen anyone cheating their daughters to death!
Sleeping with a bachelor?
Selling brothel?
Even enemies wouldn't be thrown dirty water on like this, let alone relatives!
If this were to get out, the saliva of the women in the surrounding villages would drown Liu Dongniang!
After all, it was the Liu family who said it themselves. Even if it wasn’t true, it became true!
Yang Lihua was shaking with anger. "This is simply too much! The Liu family... The Liu family is so heartless!"
She hugged her sister-in-law tightly and turned directly to the old man and Uncle Tai, "Dad, Uncle Tai, we absolutely cannot let this matter go today. We cannot let it go so easily! If we don't punish the Liu family, they might come to our house and capture Dong Niang and sell her off in the future!
"Do the Liu family think that our Tai family is dead? Why do we let them bully us like this?"
Before Mr. Tai could respond, the grumpy old man, Mr. Tai San, exploded first!
"What a blind beast! Who gave him the guts to plot against our Tai family? Today they forced Dong Niang to come to our house to steal silver. Will they force our entire Tai family to work like slaves for them tomorrow?
Everyone, grab your weapons and let's go get revenge!"
The tribesmen were already so angry that their eyes turned red. After hearing the chief's words, they did not hesitate at all and turned around to look for suitable weapons.
Old Master Tai thought more about it. He asked Liu Dongniang, "Second son's wife, today's incident is not about your family mistreating you. It's the Liu family bullying and plotting against our Tai family!
"So, this time, not only will we have to break off relations with your family, but we'll also have to completely break off relations with Liujia Village. You'll never be able to return to your family again. Have you thought this through?"
"I've made up my mind, Dad!" Liu Dongniang struggled and knelt down. "They want to force me to death. Wuwu, Dad, I can't bear to leave Yongyue, I can't bear to leave our family, I don't want to die. Please, Dad, help me!"
Tai Yongyue rushed over and hugged his mother, and the mother and daughter cried together.
The old man nodded, tucked his pipe into place, and looked at Master Tai San.
"Third brother, there's no need to show mercy. Let's go over and completely destroy the Liu family, then force them to sign a letter of severance. From now on, whether the Liu family lives or dies will have nothing to do with the second son's wife. If the Liu family village refuses to accept this, then we'll tear our faces apart and stop interacting with them!"
Master Tai San responded loudly, "That's how it should be. The Liu family is rotten to the core, so it's better if they don't come around. If they dare to displease us, we'll spread the word about them. Let's see who dares to marry a girl from Liu Village in the future!"
As she spoke, Yang Lihua helped Liu Dongniang into the house.
The third aunt next door helped to make ginger soup and let Liu Dongniang drink it while it was hot. Then she said, "My eldest daughter-in-law, do you think we should go and take a look? Mrs. Liu and her two daughters-in-law are not good people either. If a fight breaks out, it will be difficult for the old man to intervene!"
This reminded Yang Lihua, and she immediately said, "Aunt, you're right. Please find a few aunts who are good at fighting and scolding, and go with me to Liujia Village to prevent my father and the others from suffering any harm. When I come back, I will definitely thank the aunts."
"Oh, what are you thanking me for? We are all family, this is what I should do." Third Aunt waved her hand, said a polite word, and ran off to find someone.
Soon, seven or eight men, young and old, stayed behind to guard the village, while the remaining thirty or so people, plus six or seven women, headed for Liujia Village in a mighty procession.
At this moment, it was completely dark. Every household in Liujia Village had already eaten, turned off the lights and gone to bed.
Life was hard, and there wasn't even an old dog in the village, so there was no hope of anyone tipping off the villagers.
Therefore, the Tai family walked all the way to the gate of the Liu family's courtyard without being discovered by anyone.
Grandpa Tai waved his hand and signaled his grandson to open the door.
Tai Yongan jumped over the broken wall of the Liu family's house, gently opened the gate, and everyone quietly walked in...
