When everyone arrived at Yu Guixiang's house, Yu Guixiang and Zhao Meiqin were fighting.
Zhao Meiqin gritted her teeth and grabbed at Yu Guixiang's few remaining hairs. Last time Yu Guixiang fought with Wang Zhaodi, her hair had finally grown back a little, but now it was damaged again.
Yu Guixiang was no pushover either. Zhao Meiqin had her hair tied up in a bun when she went out, but Yu Guixiang had messed it up too.
Not only that, the two kept scratching each other's faces with their fingernails, while Fu Dajiang, standing to the side, was dumbfounded. Of course, if it weren't for the difference in their status, he would also like to teach his mother a lesson.
Before the villagers arrived, Fu Dajiang secretly cheered. Although his sister-in-law could be quite shrewish at times, his mother had really done something wrong this time.
That's a remote sea area with raging waves. If something happened to his son, his wife would probably go crazy too.
Fu Xiaolong was also shocked. He didn't understand why his aunt and grandmother had suddenly started fighting.
He was extremely anxious, but he didn't know who to help.
"Stop hitting him! Stop hitting him! What kind of behavior is this!"
Liu Sanniang took a deep breath and shouted sharply. She had learned her lesson and would never step forward to stop a fight. These women in the village were not to be trifled with. If she were to get slapped, the feeling would be unpleasant.
As expected, Yu Guixiang and Zhao Meiqin completely ignored her. Liu Sanniang laughed in anger and immediately grabbed a broom from the side and threw it between the two of them.
"Get them all separated!"
Nobody wanted to get hit by a broom used to sweep chicken droppings, so Yu Guixiang and Zhao Meiqin both let go. When Yu Guixiang saw so many people pouring into her yard, she turned her eyes and collapsed onto the ground, howling.
"God, are you blind? What kind of daughter-in-law dares to hit her mother-in-law? She's heartless! God, you should send lightning to strike her dead!"
Zhao Meiqin, standing to the side, was not afraid. She brushed her disheveled hair behind her head and then spat at Yu Guixiang.
"Pah, you old hag, you still have the nerve to ask God to decide? What kind of grandmother are you in the world?"
They tricked the children into doing bad things, like killing someone's fish, and then sent them to such a remote sea area!
"Yu Guixiang, let me tell you, it's only because my son is alright today. If anything had happened to him, you wouldn't be having a good time either!"
Zhao Meiqin had already gone all out. If it weren't for this old hag causing trouble in their village, she would have divorced Fu Dajun long ago.
The last time this old woman went to their village and caused a scene, Zhao Meiqin's family was in a difficult position. It was then that Zhao Meiqin came to a clearer understanding.
She's a woman, and if she gets divorced, she'll have nowhere to go with her two children. Besides, Fu Dajun might not let her take both her sons with her.
Anyway, Fu Dajun has no other problems besides being blindly filial. It's just that Yu Guixiang likes to cause trouble, so she'll take the opportunity to teach her a lesson!
After Zhao Meiqin's outburst, the women around her who initially agreed that a daughter-in-law should not hit her mother-in-law also nodded in agreement.
That's right, everyone has children. If someone were to take their child to such a dangerous place, which mother wouldn't go crazy!
Some of the more outspoken ones even started cursing at Yu Guixiang.
"Yu Guixiang, how could you be so heartless? You even let the child kill Awan's fish! How could you be so cruel!"
Yu Guixiang stiffened her neck, looking at him with an air of "What can you do to me?"
"It's just a few fish that died, what's the big deal!"
If she were to do it herself, she would definitely make sure that all of Fu Wan's fish died!
Upon hearing this, Fu Wan, who had just walked over, laughed in anger.
She picked up the conversation, saying, "It's nothing serious. Aunt Yu, how about you compensate me for the fish?"
Yu Guixiang had no intention of losing money, and immediately spat out a mouthful of saliva.
Fu Wan's aura was somewhat oppressive, so she didn't dare to vomit towards her and only dared to vomit next to herself.
"What compensation? I have no money!"
After saying that, she still had an attitude of "what can you do about it?"
Fu Wancai wasn't going to tolerate her. She looked up at Fu Dajiang and Fu Dajun, who had just run back from the fields after hearing the news.
If you don't pay compensation, then what about your son?
Before Fu Wan could speak, Fu Dajun instinctively took out his money and admitted defeat.
"We'll compensate you! We'll compensate you for whatever the fish cost!"
Zhao Meiqin didn't stop him. It was indeed her own son who had done something wrong, so it was impossible for him not to pay compensation.
However, this money must be deducted from the pension money given to Guixiang.
For at least a month, no, half a year, Yu Guixiang shouldn't expect them to give her any money!
Don't even think about it!
Seeing Fu Dajun taking out money, Fu Dajiang still wanted to play dead, but Zhao Meiqin was not someone to be trifled with. She would beat her own son, but this time the trouble involved both families, so Fu Dajiang had to pay the money!
"My family will pay half; you can ask them for the other half!"
Zhao Meiqin snatched the money bag from Fu Dajiang's hand and handed Fu Wan a dollar.
Fu Wan didn't take it, but turned around and gestured for Jiang Wanghai to come over.
"Uncle Jiang, what was our purchase price for those fish and shrimp?"
Jiang Wanghai answered subconsciously: "Big yellow croaker is five cents a piece, and shrimp larvae are three cents a pound."
After saying that, he looked at Fu Wan disapprovingly and said, "We can't calculate it based on the cost price. They've been raised for half a month, and the amount of fish food they've eaten is more than that."
"Yes, the fishing net was torn. We spent more than ten minutes in the sea early this morning trying to mend it!"
Fu Ming and Fu Liang hurriedly echoed, and Zhao Meiqin's expression also turned sour.
Their family was very poor; every penny they had was earned through hard work by the couple.
But it's also true that their son caused trouble. If anyone is to blame, it's the couple for not keeping a close eye on their child, and for that old hag Yu Guixiang for encouraging him.
“Name your price, Awan. You know my family’s financial situation. If it’s too much, we’ll have to owe you for now.”
Zhao Meiqin's attitude surprised Fu Wan; she admired people with such sound values.
If her family weren't connected to Yu Guixiang, Fu Wan wouldn't mind letting the matter drop.
But if it's related to Yu Guixiang, then I can only apologize.
"I won't say much more. Sister-in-law, please give me five yuan from each of your two families."
Ten yuan might not be much for Fu Wan and her family, but for Zhao Meiqin's two families, it was basically one or two months' worth of expenses.
Zhao Meiqin paused for a moment, then didn't say anything more, and counted out five yuan from her husband's purse.
Seeing this, Fu Ming and Fu Liang exchanged a glance, then walked to Fu Dajiang's side, one on each side.
"I'll give it to you!"
Memories of being brutally beaten in his childhood flooded back, and Fu Dajiang felt like beating his son to death.
With everyone present as witnesses, Fu Dajiang quickly counted out five yuan.
The ten yuan bills were a mix of whole and loose change, and there were even quite a few one-cent notes. Fu Wan didn't count them and just handed them to Jiang Wanghai.
"Uncle Jiang, take this money and contact the research institute to buy some new seedlings!"
Jiang Wanghai nodded and accepted it, leaving Yu Guixiang, who was sitting on the ground, dumbfounded.
No, she said she wouldn't lose money, so how come her two sons still lost money?
After the money was paid out, Fu Dajiang's wife also came running over.
Unsurprisingly, after learning the whole story, another person glared angrily at Gui Xiang.
Having lost face and money, it was time for Yu Guixiang to settle the score herself.
