Chapter 908 This is wonderful!
Song Chunxue only wanted to act according to circumstances and had no intention of meddling in other people's business.
But Xu's mother was terrified. When she heard her child close the courtyard gate, she squeezed behind her and even started to cry.
“Mother-in-law, I know you shouldn’t be involved in this, but it’s already like this. I’m useless. Please, you have to save us. Last time they took away our donkey, saying they wanted to use it to replace Jiaojiao… Waaah, I’m helpless.”
Xu's mother's tears flowed more readily than a June thunderstorm, appearing as soon as they came and sliding down to her chin in the blink of an eye.
Song Chunxue suddenly felt that she was probably not a good person, at least not as good as Master Zhang, her respectable senior brother.
She was very annoyed at the moment, and even felt a little disgusted with her mother-in-law.
All you do when you cry is cry. What kind of future do you have?
Even if it's like an ant trying to shake a tree, or Mount Tai pressing down on you, you still have to stand up for yourself when necessary.
When it comes to your own family's problems, why do you cry and beg outsiders for help? Are you afraid, or are you trying to be cunning and use others as a shield?
She couldn't help but take a closer look at Xu's mother. Although she no longer had the ability to peek into other people's lives, she still felt that like mother, like daughter, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to raise a child like Xu Jiao.
Logically speaking, a family like this could only raise a sensible and responsible child like Xu Dahong.
It seems that everyone's views and opinions are narrow and cannot be generalized.
Just then, I heard footsteps and soft breathing.
Everyone looked outside the low earthen wall, where six men of varying ages, each holding a different tool, were staring at them with unfriendly expressions.
The man in the lead was holding a digging tool, which was heavier, larger, and more lethal than a hoe.
They seemed quite surprised to see Jiang Yeming and Song Chunxue here, standing there and scrutinizing the mother and son with sinister eyes.
Song Chunxue looked at Jiang Yeming, signaling him to hurry up.
Jiang Yeming hesitated for a moment, then reluctantly stepped forward.
“I’ve brought Xu Jiao here. What happened last time was our fault; we shouldn’t have interfered in your family matters. But Xu Jiao and I are absolutely innocent. My wife’s sister is in trouble and has come to us; I can’t just turn her away…”
Song Chunxue broke free from her mother-in-law's grasp, walked over and kicked the eldest son hard. "I told you to apologize and admit your mistake, why are you saying so much? You were the one who made the accusation first, why are you talking so much nonsense?"
At this point, she added, "When you married a shrew, you were like a mute, knowing nothing and shirking your responsibilities. Now you're all talk and no action. I think you're just a bully who picks on the weak and fears the strong!"
"..." Jiang Yeming rubbed his sore bottom and looked at his mother. Why was she suddenly arguing with him? Didn't he have any dignity?
The Zeng family members, who had come to cause trouble in a menacing manner, looked left and right. Something was wrong; this was not what they had agreed upon beforehand. What should they do?
"What are you looking at? Hurry up and continue apologizing to him!" Song Chunxue kicked Jiang Yeming without any mercy. "Hurry up."
Zeng's seventh son took a step back, looking at Song Chunxue with a puzzled expression, not understanding what she was up to.
"I'm sorry, it's my fault." Jiang Yeming hung his head, on the verge of tears, too timid to even show a hint of anger after being kicked by his own mother.
"Didn't you take me to the county government? You were so capable, why did you suddenly change your mind?" Zeng Laoqi weighed his head in his hand. "I've made up my mind. I'm going to make up for what I got that day. Otherwise, all my brothers have come here for nothing."
"you……"
"Then tell me, besides beating my boss down, what other methods are there?" Song Chunxue pulled her boss away, pointed a finger to her right rear, indicating that her boss should stay far away, her disdain was obvious.
"Oh, so this is Jiang's mother, the old lady who went up the mountain to become a Taoist priest. She looks quite young and can even distinguish right from wrong. How could she have given birth to such a brainless son?" He pointed at Jiang Yeming with a provocative smile, extremely smug.
"You..." Jiang Yeming, who was about to curse, saw Song Chunxue's cold look and immediately lowered his arm and stopped walking.
"It's my fault for not teaching him well. I spoiled him too much before. But I also know the whole story. My eldest son didn't mean anything by it. You misunderstood and thought I hit someone, so he hit me back."
"How about this? Since I've delayed your farming time, I'll give you five taels of silver as compensation. What do you think?"
"..."
"..."
"..."
The Zeng family members who came with them felt a pang of anxiety. Five taels of silver! How were they going to divide it?
Zeng Laoqi was only in his early twenties and had never encountered anything like this before. He was stunned when he heard this.
He spent a total of one tael of silver to marry Xu Jiao, and he also took a donkey with him beforehand, so he made a profit from this.
But... isn't this too much of a bullying tactic? Does having money mean you can do whatever you want?
"But your wife's visit to my house caused a lot of trouble. She is a daughter-in-law of the Zeng family, isn't she? You two quarreled and made my family miserable. The cause of all this was that you didn't treat your wife and children well, which forced her to leave, right?"
"You..." Zeng Laoqi nodded with a laugh, "No problem, absolutely no problem. I slapped her once, and she went ballistic. That heartless woman, she abandoned both of her children. She's even more ruthless than me. I underestimated her!"
Towards the end, he seemed to be gritting his teeth.
"Everyone wants to live a good life. Who would want to create trouble for themselves when life is too comfortable? I doubt it's anyone but my eldest son."
Song Chunxue said earnestly, "How about this, there are six of you here, and a total of six taels of silver. Let's just let this matter go. You take Xu Jiao back and live a good life. Don't punish her for this incident, okay?"
"..." Jiang Yeming became angrier the more he thought about it. It turned out that he was the one who was disliked by everyone.
Xu's mother quickly went along with it, "Yes, yes, Zeng Laoqi, my Jiaojiao is stubborn, but she must have had a hard time these days. What mother would abandon her two own flesh and blood unless she was driven to desperation? You should take her back and let her live a good life, so that this poor woman can have some peace and quiet, okay?"
The Zeng brothers were too embarrassed to take their weapons with them, so they hid them behind their backs or used them as canes, scratching their ears and cheeks and looking around.
Earning a tael of silver for free? Hey, where else can you find such a wonderful thing?
He'll come again next time!
Go ahead and climb, climbing the mountain is definitely the right thing to do.
It's perfectly normal for a woman to be beaten by a man; it's all too normal.
If his own wife had a brother-in-law like that, he would also send his wife to climb the mountain.
If life is tough, just shamelessly climb the mountain; they can at least get some money out of you, which is wonderful.
Zeng's seventh son pondered for a moment, then put his hands on his hips and asked, "Where is Xu Jiao? How am I supposed to know if you have other plans if I haven't seen her?"
Song Chunxue looked at Xu's mother, wondering what other schemes she might have. If her eldest son really dared to keep Xu Jiao, she would sever this mother-son relationship as soon as possible.
She hadn't originally wanted to concern herself with whether Xu Jiao would go back or not, but then she suddenly realized what was going on.
How could the eldest brother, who is so afraid of trouble, suddenly have a brain fart and take this matter to the county government? If he wasn't encouraged by Xu Jiao, could he be possessed by a ghost?
