Regardless of the outcome, neither side can pretend nothing happened.
Their family could not possibly let go of the fact that their mother was locked up in the ancestral hall, and the clan head could not possibly be indifferent to the offense he had suffered.
Even if he wasn't very bright, he knew that the two families were destined to become enemies.
The best outcome is that they keep to themselves; the worst outcome is that the whole family is kicked out of Huangjiakou.
After Huang Qing left, the Huang clan chief had no more scruples. "Huang Sheng, for the sake of our ancestor, divorce Liao Chunhua. I won't hold it against you or take my anger out on your family. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite."
"Oh?" A hoarse but powerful voice rang out, "How exactly do you intend to be impolite? To use torture without authorization? Or to kick them out?"
Upon hearing this, Chief Huang, who had been looking down at people, suddenly froze.
After turning her head stiffly, she stammered, "Fifth Uncle, what brings you here?"
"What do you think?" the old man scoffed. "If I don't come, who will witness your power?"
Originally, when he heard about what happened in the afternoon, he thought there was some misunderstanding, but now it seems that he underestimated this child.
"Fifth Uncle is joking," Chief Huang said awkwardly, touching his nose. "I didn't intend to do anything; I was just saying it casually."
He didn't expect things to go so badly; he had just finished making those harsh remarks when his fifth uncle arrived, leaving him in a difficult situation.
"Fifth Uncle," Huang Sheng saw the man and knelt down as if he had seen a savior. "Please, sir, save my wife. The clan chief has locked her up in the ancestral hall."
“Your wife has always been a handful,” Uncle Huang said, his brow furrowed. “It’s good for her to have some peace and quiet in the ancestral hall, so she doesn’t think that we Huangjiakou are safe from any trouble.”
Every day she gets into trouble, I've never seen such a restless woman!
"Fifth Uncle is right," Huang Sheng nodded repeatedly. "I'll give her a good beating later so she'll never dare to cause trouble again."
“This is your own business, you don’t need to make any promises to me,” Uncle Huang waved his hand. “Once this matter is settled, don’t let her come out and nag anymore. If she causes trouble again next time, just send her back to her parents’ home.”
Hearing Uncle Huang's words, Huang Sheng felt relieved. In any case, his wife was safe.
Fortunately, unlike the clan chief, Fifth Uncle didn't hold a grudge against his wife.
Thinking of this, Huang Sheng looked at Uncle Huang Wu with even more gratitude.
Huang Wushu's words displeased Huang Clan Chief. "Wushu, Liao has made a grave mistake. Even if she is not released, she cannot continue to stay in Huangjiakou."
"Then tell me what mistake she made?" Huang Sheng said angrily. "If you want to cover up your own dirty laundry, why are you taking it out on my wife? Huang Shicheng, can't you have any shame?"
I've never seen such a shameless person.
He's saying all this just to avoid being targeted by his clansmen, so he's deliberately using his own wife as a scapegoat?
This person is treating their family like fools!
"You..." Clan Chief Huang pointed at Huang Sheng, trembling, "You're making false accusations! What shameful things have I done? What evidence do you have?"
“Say it if you want, whoever backs down is a coward,” Huang Sheng glanced at the Huang clan chief with disdain. “A dignified clan chief with dozens of acres of land, yet you do such a despicable thing just to get rid of Lai Zi, this burden. I’m embarrassed for you.”
Huang Sheng really couldn't understand why the clan chief's family would do something so ruthless when they weren't short of food.
Wasn't he afraid that Lai Zi's dead father would come looking for him in the middle of the night?
After all, no one benefited more from what happened back then than the clan chief's family.
