Chapter 419 What’s going on?
Zhang Defu wanted to act tough and was ready to rush forward to have a good argument with these officers.
As a result, before he even took a step forward, he was frightened by the officer holding a knife, "Well, let's talk it out properly, let's talk it out properly."
After all, Wang Ming had received the Li family's instructions in advance: just the things, not to hurt anyone. He frowned and shouted loudly, "If you know what's good for you, hand over the Li family's land deeds immediately, otherwise..."
After receiving Wang Ming's eye signal, several officers immediately understood and drew their swords.
They moved in unison, and with a few swish sounds, several sharp swords were unsheathed in an instant.
The sunlight shines on the blade, reflecting dazzling rays of light, which makes people feel cold.
Zhang Defu immediately became intimidated, his lips trembling. "Well, Qiuye's mother, we should save our lives first. Let's go into the house quickly and take out the land deed and hand it to the official."
Tian Caihong was not much better off. She tried to move her legs several times before she could walk.
Asking her to take the land deed would be like cutting her flesh, but if she resists, her life might be in danger.
She cursed Zhang Qiuye. Although she also hated Li Jinyi, she didn't dare to curse him. She could only keep cursing Zhang Qiuye over and over again.
The moment she handed over the title deed, she collapsed to the ground completely exhausted.
Wang Ming took the deed and looked at it carefully. After confirming that it was correct, he looked at Zhang Defu and Tian Caihong and said, "Tell me, you two, how dare you take your daughter's land?"
After that, he waved his hand and said, "It's done. Let's go, brothers."
Wang Ming thanked Zhang Dequan, and rode his men on tall horses, and soon disappeared on the village road of Dahe Village.
Zhang Defu dared to move his feet after the officers left. He urgently asked Zhang Dequan for help, "Brother, my legs are numb, you have to help me."
"Look at your ability..."
"Brother, these officials are such scoundrels. The Li family is going too far."
Zhang Dequan angrily scolded, "Stop criticizing others. This is your fault from the beginning to the end.
You want to live a better life and have more land at home, which is a good thing, but you can't steal it!"
Tian Caihong began to cry, "Brother, we didn't try to rob! This silver was clearly given to me by Qiu Ye, but I didn't expect her to go back on her word. This damned girl is so ungrateful, I'll go and get her back."
Zhang Dequan curled his lips and said, "It's obviously you who are greedy, but you blame others."
This couple is truly hopeless.
"Your daughter, if you want to go and settle the score with her, go ahead, we won't stop you.
Defu, you two should use your brains when you act outside again and don't ruin the reputation of our Dahe Village.
Let me be frank with you, if I ever find out that you've brought disrepute to Dahe Village, I'll be the first one to kick you out."
"Oh, are you going to let me live? You shouldn't bully me like this."
Tian Caihong sat on the ground, touching her knees and crying so sadly.
Zhang Dequan frowned and glanced at Zhang Defu, which meant that it was your wife, you can do whatever you want. "Okay, nothing else, I'll go back.
Dongsheng's mother, stop crying. No one is to blame for this. If it were someone else, you would have been thrown in jail."
Tian Caihong obviously didn't want to listen to anyone's preaching. She turned her head away unconvincedly, meaning that this was her family's business and no one else needed to worry about it.
Zhang Dequan was not angry either. The key point was that Tian Caihong was like this. Zhang Dequan felt that it was unnecessary to be angry with her.
However, as a cousin of the same clan, he still taught Zhang Defu a lesson, "Don't always think about getting something for nothing. Don't be lazy on weekdays. Plant the remaining eight acres of land. It will be enough for your family of three to eat."
Zhang Defu was shocked again, "Brother, my twenty acres of land are gone, gone..."
As he spoke, he squatted on the ground and started crying.
Zhang Dequan was so angry that he kicked him and said, "I really don't know what's in your head. What's your twenty acres of land? It's obviously your wife who stole it from Qiuye.
These people gave you face, but you took advantage of it.
That’s enough. Don’t come to me with your family’s troubles anymore.”
Zhang Dequan walked out of Zhang Defu's yard angrily.
There was a circle of villagers outside watching the excitement. When they saw Zhang Dequan come out, they surrounded him and wanted to find out what was going on.
"Alright, let's all go, it's nothing serious, just go away!
Also, don’t let a single word of this leak out, or our village’s reputation will be ruined.”
"Don't worry, Li Zheng, I promise not to tell anyone a word. But what on earth did Zhang Defu and Tian Caihong do to alarm so many officials?"
Zhang Dequan straightened his face and said, "It's not a good thing to say. Why are you still asking about it? What's the matter? Is there no work in the fields, or what?"
Although everyone was somewhat unwilling, they still had to listen to the village head's words.
These people left very consciously, and after Zhang Dequan left, they gathered together again.
The more something is not allowed to be said, the more mysterious it is.
"What exactly did Zhang Defu do wrong? Who knows?"
"I went to the town yesterday and heard something. It seemed that Tian Caihong had stolen Qiu Ye's land deed.
When Mr. Li learned about this, he was unhappy and reported it to the authorities.
"So the extra twenty acres of land they had was actually stolen from Qiu Ye?"
"Oh my god, Zhang Defu and Tian Caihong are so shameless!"
"I wonder how they'll continue to show off in the future. Look at the way they look. What they don't know is that they've married into the wealthy Li family!"
"Don't mention Mr. Li. I'm ashamed for them. They keep saying my daughter married Mr. Li, and now Mr. Li doesn't even give us a second thought and has directly reported us to the authorities!"
"Could it be that Mr. Li is short of money? He just doesn't want to spoil them. Think about it, what kind of relatives are the family of a concubine?"
"There's one more thing, do you want to hear it?"
"What else is there? Tell me."
"Forget it, this person's fate may be determined by heaven.
Rich people are destined to be rich, and that cannot be taken away.”
"How come you're even more of a spoilsport than the village head? Hurry up and tell me, or I'll go to the fields to work.
The liveliness of Zhang Defu’s family will eventually come to an end.
Maybe something strange will happen again someday."
"No, it's still early, don't leave! This matter actually has little to do with Zhang Defu. It's about his eldest daughter, Juexia. I saw it with my own eyes yesterday. Mr. Li and Juexia were relatives and he even gave her two hundred taels of silver as a gift."
Everyone gasped, "Two hundred taels of silver! This is too outrageous! Mr. Li sent people from the government office to Zhang Defu to ask for the land deed, and then gave his daughter two hundred taels of silver. What's going on?"
