Chapter 182 Return the money quickly
Old Lady Chen's eyes widened in anger, and she started to act like a scoundrel, "Don't come here to lecture me. It was your damned girl who killed my Ruolan."
Lin could no longer suppress her anger and burst into curse words, "You shameless old man, shut your stinky mouth! You did this immoral thing yourself, don't cry thief here. Ruolan's current situation is your own fault, no one else's fault. If you have time to act like a scoundrel here, think about how to explain it to your precious third son."
Old Mrs. Chen swayed and almost fainted...
Wu Baoan understood the general situation and felt disgusted with what the old man and his wife had done.
He felt that such things must be severely punished, otherwise it would be difficult to appease the public anger.
Just as he was about to order his men to drag the man out of the room and beat him to death, the door suddenly opened.
Then Fan Tong walked out of the house, swaying his fat body.
The courtyard, which was noisy just now, suddenly became silent.
Everyone looked at Fan Tong in bewilderment, many whispering to each other...
"Isn't this Mr. Fan from Qingshui Town? How could it be him?"
"Yeah, what's going on? Why is he here?"
"I came here to eat meat, what else can I do?"
"He is that wild man, can he be beaten to death with sticks?"
"What's the point of fighting? Mr. Fan is rich and powerful. If we piss him off, we'll be in big trouble."
"Right, right, right. Less trouble is worse than more. For trivial matters like this, we should just watch the excitement and not express our opinions."
When Wu Baoan saw Fan Tong, he was stunned and started to wonder. He had thought that this matter should be dealt with seriously, but now it seemed that it would not work.
The Fan family is wealthy and has extensive connections. It is said that all of his relatives work in the county government office. He cannot afford to offend such people.
If he lets it go, he, as the village head, may find it difficult to convince the people.
He thought over and over, and the best way to resolve this matter now was to let Chen Ruolan marry him. They both said that they loved each other and couldn't help themselves, so they made a big mistake. Otherwise, today's matter would be difficult to handle...
Fan Tong glanced at everyone with disdain and angrily came to Old Lady Chen, "Old Lady Chen, please explain to me clearly, what's going on with the people inside?"
Thinking of her delicate granddaughter being taken advantage of by this fat pig, Old Lady Chen felt so distressed that she couldn't help but beat her chest and stamp her feet. "Master Fan, you still ask me what I did? You ruined my Ruolan. How can she face people in the future?"
Fan Tong was immediately furious. "You damned old woman, I haven't even settled the score with you yet, but you're already blaming me. We agreed on something, but you changed my job."
"If you ask me, I don't know what's going on."
"I'm so pissed! I worked all night for nothing, and it turned out to be a fake. Return the two hundred and fifty taels of silver to me right away."
When the silver was mentioned, Mrs. Chen's heart skipped a beat. This shameless rogue was really taking advantage of her and even wanted to ask for the silver back.
If I really give it to him, I will lose both the wife and the army, and end up with nothing.
It seems that at this point I can only bite the bullet and die shamelessly.
"Master Fan, you're not the type to do things this way. You've made a beautiful young lady busy, and now you're just patting your butt and want to shirk your responsibility. There's no such thing as a good thing in this world. I'm definitely not returning the money."
Fan Tong valued money as his life and regarded every copper coin as his precious treasure. When he heard that the money would not be returned, he was almost heartbroken. With trembling hands, he pointed at Old Lady Chen and said,
"You shameless old thing, how dare you cheat me of my money? I see you're tired of living. If you know what's good for you, give me the money quickly, or I'll make you pay for it."
But he thought the matter was too simple. Old Mrs. Chen was not a pushover. She was a money-grubber and greedy person. How could she easily give back the money she had earned?
"Master Fan, why are you being unreasonable? The silver is the betrothal money you gave to my family. Since you have already entered the bridal chamber, I will definitely not return the money."
Fan Tong realized it later. No wonder Old Mrs. Chen asked him to come at night. This old man must have bad intentions and wanted to curry favor with the powerful.
That's why she used sweet words to trick him into coming, and took advantage of the night when people couldn't be seen clearly to make him and Chen Ruolan have an affair, so as to achieve her goal.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. He cursed loudly, "Fuck you! I really gave you a chance, but you dared to blackmail me for money. Now I have to ask you, are you going to return the money or not?"
Old Lady Chen knew how powerful Fan Tong was. Anyone who dared to offend him would be skinned alive.
Although she was scared to death, she was reluctant to give up the money.
After all, those two hundred and fifty taels of silver were earned by her beloved granddaughter Chen Ruolan at the cost of humiliation. If she really returned the silver to her, she would be in big trouble!
Just as she was stunned, Old Man Chen came closer tremblingly and said in a low voice,
"Old woman, Fan Tong is a notorious bully. We can't afford to offend a family like him. In my opinion, we should just swallow this loss and return the silver to him immediately."
"Give me your mother's legs back!" Old Mrs. Chen jumped three feet high on the spot, taking out her anger on Old Man Chen. "You are a useless thing, a complete wimp. He bullied our Ruolan, and you still want to be a coward. Can you be a bit tougher?"
"Why are you scolding me? I'm just afraid that you'll suffer. How come you don't know what's good for you?" Old man Chen felt aggrieved and didn't dare to say anything.
Fan Tong was getting impatient waiting, and asked through gritted teeth, "Are you guys done yet? Return the money quickly."
Old Mrs. Chen stiffened her neck and put on a desperate look, "You took advantage of me, and you want your money back? It's impossible."
"You old thing, you really want money over life, I'll beat you to death."
Fan Tong could no longer suppress his anger and raised his hand to slap Old Lady Chen in the face, but Wu Baoan, who had come to his senses, grabbed his wrist firmly.
"Master Fan, calm down. If you have anything to say, you can talk it out nicely. Don't hurt the harmony."
Fan Tongyi was stunned. "What are you trying to do? Are you trying to take sides? I'm telling you, if you know what's good for you, let go immediately. If you really piss me off, I'll make sure you don't get away with it."
"Mr. Fan, please forgive me. I am the head of Nanshan Village. I just want to..."
"What the hell!" Before Wu Baoan could finish his words, Fan Tongyi grabbed him by the collar, his eyes almost popping out. "Don't talk nonsense to me. Aren't you the head of the village? Since the people in your village cheated me of my money, I'm going to ask you to return it. If you don't give me the money back, I'll have someone kill you."
The sudden change made Wu Baoan feel extremely angry and uncomfortable, but he was helpless and cursed Old Lady Chen in his heart...
