Chapter 94: The Zhou family beat someone up!
Now everyone was dumbfounded.
Mother Lin is really bold.
He actually rolled on the ground, howling as he did so. It was so embarrassing.
Even Mrs. Zhou was stunned.
Then, not willing to be outdone, she stepped forward and grabbed Lin's mother by the collar.
He opened his bow from both sides and fanned her face.
"You are such a slut with bad mouths, how dare you slander our Zhouji Tofu! I think you don't want to live today. We in the Zhou family won't let you take advantage of us, but you dare to slander our Zhouji Tofu! You can howl again and again!"
Lin's mother was stunned.
There was a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth.
"Someone come quickly! The Zhou family is beating people up! Someone come quickly! Give us some justice! The Zhou family married our daughter, but now they are turning their backs on us and beating up our in-laws!"
Mrs. Zhou is not someone you can easily mess with.
He slapped Lin's mother twice.
"I told you to come here like a barking dog, trying to ruin our tofu business. You are such a bad, rotten thing, such a shameless person. You came here to ask for a beating..."
She attacked with both hands, punching and kicking, without holding back.
Lin's mother was beaten so hard that she screamed.
More and more people gathered around.
When Mrs. Zhou saw someone showing sympathy, her elbow became numb, so she also leaned over and lay on the ground.
Ouch.
"Oh, I'm so angry! These days, our Zhou family has just become prosperous for a while, and the whole family can barely have enough food to eat, and then that shameless person comes to cause trouble. How can we live like this..."
He started to hum.
Now, Gui Lin Shiqi begins his performance.
Lin Shiqi shouted, "Mom, how are you? You are old, don't get angry and hurt your health!"
"My husband, my husband, please go get a doctor! My mother's heart disease has been aggravated by anger!"
At this time, Wang also rushed out.
Wang was even more exaggerated, with snot and tears, "Mom! The whole family is counting on you to lead us all to a good life, please don't get hurt!"
"It's not enough that you Lin family members always come to extort money, but you also make our mother so angry. Our mother already has a serious illness. If she dies because of you, the medical expenses will definitely be paid by you!"
"You are so shameless. You are a middle-aged man, but you grabbed my mother who is over 50 years old and beat her. It is so infuriating. I tell you, this matter is not over yet..."
Among the several daughters-in-law in Lao Zhou's family, only the eldest wife, Wang, is eloquent and shameless.
She is selfish. It is obvious that the fourth wife's family wants to ask for money. Do they want to take the money from the Zhou family?
Isn’t it the eldest branch of the Zhou family that gets most of the money?
Isn't it just an indirect attempt to take her son's money?
She definitely couldn't let the Lin family take advantage of her!
So, the battle line is united.
Ruan and Liu could only grab their clothes in the crowd, secretly worried, but they were too concerned about their reputation to speak out.
Give her the opportunity to perform.
Also, we really can’t let Mrs. Zhou get angry to death.
Mrs. Zhou was so angry that she died. Scholars value filial piety. If a direct elder in the family dies, it will have a big impact if they are not allowed to take the imperial examination.
Wang's actions shocked the Lin family.
Mother Lin was beaten black and blue, but she was much younger than Mrs. Zhou after all.
She howled, "I didn't hit her at all! She hit me..."
At this time, Liu also stood up.
"Our mother is old and can't stand getting angry. If she gets angry, she will get sick. If she gets mad today, everyone in our Zhou family will never forgive you."
Zhou Lang walked out from the crowd.
"I've sent someone to ask for a doctor, but it's no use asking for a doctor. Someone came here with bad intentions to cause trouble. I've asked my third brother to report to the town authorities!"
When Mrs. Zhou heard the words "report to the police", she pretended to be even more powerful.
He covered his chest and groaned, each groan becoming more miserable than the last.
"Oh, I can't live like this anymore if the officials make the decision for me..."
The Lin family had made an agreement and were going to take advantage of the big day of the Zhou family's beam-raising ceremony to come and cause trouble when there were many people around. If the Zhou family didn't give them some bribes, they would keep making trouble outside the Zhou family's door.
He scolded Lin Shiqi for being unfilial and the Zhou family for being dishonest.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Zhou was so fierce, more noisy and shameless than them.
Lin Laogen couldn't help but smirk when he saw that the former fool Zhou Lang had become really good.
"Son-in-law, it's just right that you're here. Please give us your opinion! Son-in-law, our family has been with you since the age of 17 and has taken care of you until now. We have never despised you for being a fool. You can't be so dishonest!"
Zhou Lang said coldly, "My wife was bought, who is your son-in-law? Lin Shiqi is now a member of our Zhou family and has nothing to do with your Lin family. A child bride is a life-and-death contract. What does my wife taking care of me have to do with you? Respect yourself!"
Lin Laogen was defeated.
His face looked quite ugly.
Mother Lin cried, "Report to the police. We told you to report to the police, but you didn't. We will report to the police too. Our daughter is unfilial, so we will report to the police too! We in the Great Yu Kingdom value filial piety, and anyone who is unfilial will be arrested and put in jail..."
Zhou Lang still had no expression on his face.
"Then let's go report to the authorities together. My mother still has the indenture of my wife's child bride. Let's take it to the officials and we can also sue you for extortion! According to the laws of our Great Yu country, the minimum sentence for extortion is six months in prison, and the maximum is five years..."
This time, Lin Laogen and his wife were really speechless.
They really did sell their lives on the contract back then.
Because it is a death deed, the price is high.
A three-year-old girl can be sold for five taels of silver!
When people marry off an older girl, the bride price is only three or four taels of silver, and at least half of the dowry goes to the husband's family.
It's not that the Zhou family insisted on buying a child bride with a death contract, it's that the Lin family was so desperate for money that they insisted on selling her at a high price, regardless of life or death.
Mrs. Zhou didn't want her anymore at that time, but she went to a master to calculate her horoscope, and the master said that Lin Shiqi's horoscope was very suitable for Zhou Sisha. She had no choice but to grit her teeth and buy this child bride.
…
At this time, the people who were watching the excitement also understood what was going on.
The Lin family is not a good person.
The girl who was sold for a death contract, now seeing that the man has become rich, comes to beg for benefits.
Start pointing fingers at them.
Lin Laogen and the others have already lost face.
They started to cheat.
The whole family sat on the ground. "No matter what, Lin Shiqi is our daughter. We have given her life, even if we didn't raise her. Now our family is so poor that we can't even afford to eat. As a daughter, she should have good food and drink. It doesn't make sense for us to watch her die without helping her parents. And her two younger brothers..."
With so many people watching, Lin Shiqi deliberately asked them, "How much money do you want? Just tell me."
When Lin's mother heard this, she felt that his tone became more relaxed.
There's hope!
Then he said, "We don't want more from you. If you give us fifty taels, we promise not to come to you again in the future."
