Upon hearing what Granny Song said, Song Lao Er's face immediately changed.
Report it to the authorities! How could you report it to the authorities!
He hadn't said it yet.
Qiao Lianhua cried out, "Mother, how can we report this to the authorities? If we do, won't everyone in the surrounding villages know that my brother has lost his virginity to that bastard?"
Upon hearing this...
Granny Song turned her gaze to Qiao Lianhua and said, "Do you think this matter won't get out if we don't report it to the authorities?"
Qiao Lianhua's expression froze, and she fell silent for a moment.
Song Lao Er didn't want everyone to know, so he whispered, "Mother, isn't this simple? Just have Uncle Village Head gather everyone together and warn them not to tell anyone."
Granny Song said irritably, "Can he warn the villagers? Can he warn the Fang family?"
As soon as she said this...
The eldest son of the Song family said in a low voice, "Mother, it's not appropriate for the village head to warn them, but we can. If they dare not agree, we'll report it to the authorities and have them resolve the matter."
He also felt it was best not to make a big fuss about it.
Song Xia didn't want to get involved, so she didn't say anything.
Granny Song pursed her lips and approached Song Youdi, asking, "Youdi, what are you thinking?"
I want him dead…
Song Youdi's eyes were filled with hatred. It was just that she didn't have a knife in her hand at the moment; if she did, she probably would have stabbed Fang Erzhuang.
Granny Song knew that Song Youdi harbored hatred, but wanting Fang Erzhuang to die was simply impossible.
If they beat him to death, wouldn't they be punished?
Report it to the authorities.
Even if Fang Erzhuang is found guilty, he may not necessarily be sentenced to death.
Granny Song sighed and said, "This is difficult."
Song Youdi bit her lip and said, "Then let them pay me back. Fang Erzhuang ruined me, I can't just let it go like this. I want one hundred taels of silver, give me the money!"
Yes, yes…
Song Lao Er only cared about money and chose to ignore what Song Youdi said next.
Yang Cuiniang snapped at Song Youdi, "One hundred taels of silver? Do you think you're made of gold? Let me tell you, we don't even have ten taels of silver, let alone one hundred! And even if we did, we wouldn't give it to you!"
Seeing how arrogant she was.
Song Lao Er snorted and said, "If you don't agree, we'll go to the yamen and sue your son. We have witnesses, and the yamen officials will come and collect evidence on the spot. I don't believe we can't convict your son!"
Since he's said that, how could they refuse?
The eldest brother, Song, chimed in, "Not long ago, I heard that someone was sentenced to exile for doing something like this. Most exiled people barely survive, and very few return. If you don't agree, you can expect your son to be exiled!"
Fang Erzhuang panicked.
He shouted, "Father, Mother, you must save me! If I'm exiled, even if I don't die, my life is over. Please help me, please help me! I promise I'll take good care of you and work hard to pay back the money."
Yang Cuiniang was at a loss for what to do.
"Honey, what should we do?"
Fang Shuisheng didn't want to go bankrupt to save Fang Erzhuang, but considering that he had already severed ties with Fang Zheng, he figured he wouldn't gain anything by making a scene.
After much thought...
Fang Shuisheng looked at Song Lao Er and said, "Alright, we agree, but our family can't raise that much money right now. We can only give you a maximum of 1,500 coins a month."
He meant to say one tael of silver, but reduced it to half before he could finish.
"Five hundred coins? Don't even think about it!"
Qiao Lianhua disagreed.
Five hundred coins a month, a few taels of silver a year. One hundred taels of silver, when will they ever be able to pay it back?
Song Youdi glared at Fang Shuisheng and said, "If your family has no money, sell your fields, sell your people, sell your house, and go borrow from others! If I don't see a hundred taels of silver before dark today, I'll have my parents go to the yamen to report this to the authorities tomorrow!"
Little bitch!
Yang Cuiniang wanted to scold her.
Fang Shuisheng grabbed her arm, suppressing his anger, and said, "Selling the land is fine, but selling the house is unrealistic. Our house is so dilapidated that no one would buy it. As for selling people, we're just a small family; even if we sold ourselves, we couldn't raise that much money. Borrowing money? Who would lend us any? If you can convince Fang Zheng and the others to lend us money, we can give you the money right now..."
He assumed she didn't know.
What is he planning?
Song Xia said in a deep voice, "Grandpa, have you lost your mind? Have you forgotten that my uncle has already severed ties with you? As for my mother, didn't you say that a married daughter is like water spilled from a bowl? Besides, I'm the one who calls the shots in our family. Don't even mention a hundred taels, I won't lend you a single penny!"
"you…"
Fang Shui was so angry that his body trembled.
Yang Cuiniang helped him up and began to berate Song Xia: "You unfilial wretch! Even if I'm not your maternal grandmother, he's still your maternal grandfather, right? If he hadn't given birth to your mother, would you even exist?"
Song Xia raised an eyebrow: "So, after all this time, my mother was born to my maternal grandfather?"
You brat!
Yang Cuiniang pointed at Song Xia and said, "Stop talking nonsense and giving me this crap! Your mother is your maternal grandfather's daughter, she has to lend you this money today, whether she likes it or not!"
She's still being unreasonable with her here.
Where did they get the courage?
Song Xia turned to Song Laoda and asked, "Uncle, does our dynasty have such a law?"
Old Song shook his head.
Song Xia replied to Yang Cuiniang, "Did you hear that? There's no such law! I said I won't lend you the money today, and that's final! It's your son who did wrong, not us. No matter what you say, I won't lend it to him!"
Before they could say anything.
Song Xia said to Song Lao Er, "Second Uncle, aren't there some loan sharks in town? They don't sell people or houses. Let them lend you money, and if they refuse, go to the yamen and sue them!"
Song Lao Er was about to say yes.
Song Youdi couldn't stand Song Xia exposing their family, and she wanted to get the hundred taels of silver immediately.
She shouted, "Song Xia, your mother is their daughter, so she should lend them money. I don't care, I want it now, give me the money right now..."
idiot!
Song Lao Er kicked him, yelling, "How could I have a daughter like you who can't distinguish right from wrong!"
Song Xia looked down at Song Youdi, who was sitting on the ground, and said.
"Song Youdi, I didn't want to pursue this matter too much since you're in such a sorry state. But now that you're coming at me, don't blame me for being rude. How did you run into Fang Erzhuang? Why did he attack you and not the others?"
Yes.
The people there started talking about it.
Song Youdi said in a shrill voice, "Song Xia, what are you doing! I'm already like this, and you still want to rub salt into my wounds? How could I have such a vicious cousin like you!"
"Oh…"
Song Xia laughed and said, "Song Youdi, stop shouting here. Do you think you're right just because you shout? Before your accident, the Fang family came to our house to cause trouble. After our new house was built, they never came to our house again. How did they know where our new house was built?"
Song Youdi's face turned pale instantly.
She retorted, her neck stiff, "How would I know who told them? What does this have to do with me? Are you saying I told them? Do you have any proof?"
