When they heard Fu Xiuzhi's words, they immediately stopped arguing.
They did charge a lot of money.
When the Feng family asked a matchmaker to come to their house, everyone was wondering how Qingshan Village, which is so far away from them, could be found?
It was not until Feng Chao found them that they realized that Feng Chao was famous in the village for his bad temper. No one in Fengjia Village or the surrounding villages was willing to marry their daughter to him.
Later, someone suggested going to a village farther away. They then found out that the old Fu family in Qingshan Village had honest parents, but selfish brothers and sisters-in-law. If Fu Xiuzhi married into the family, she would definitely be left alone.
So Feng Chao secretly took a lot of gifts and money, which fooled the two brothers of the Fu family, and successfully married Fu Xiuzhi. He didn't even mind that the old Fu family couldn't afford the dowry.
"What money can we get? It's just the betrothal gift. We hadn't split up the family yet. All the money was used to pay for food." Zhao Li said confidently.
Fu Manshan and Jiang Fengxia knew that their sons and daughters-in-law had taken the money just by looking at their guilty expressions.
They may not know Feng Chao's background, but it is unforgivable that they married the girl off for money.
"All of you, hand over all the money and return it all to the Feng family. We don't owe them a penny!" Fu Manshan shouted angrily.
When these people heard that they had to pay back the money, they immediately became unhappy. "Why should we pay it back? It was you, the parents, who made the final decision, and now you blame us!"
The two elders regretted it very much, because it was because of their misjudgment that they pushed their daughter into the fire pit.
Fu Baoer winked at Heiwa in the corner. Heiwa took the order and left the yard quietly.
Humph, if you don’t pay me back, your house will be robbed!
Heiwa disappeared in the backyard and then appeared in the old house of the Fu family.
As a majestic five-black dog, this is the first time it has been a thief in its hundred-year career, and it is very nervous.
In those days, every household in the village was not very wary of thieves, so Heiwa didn't have to spend much effort to find the money hidden by Zhao Li and Li Ying.
The two sisters-in-law were quite taciturn and put them both in the small cabinet at the head of the kang.
Heiwa cleaned up the scene, and returned to the Fu family silently with the money in his mouth. As for the money, it was left in Fu Baoer's cave.
Fu Baoer looked at the money. Although she didn't understand the things of that era, she had a rough idea of it because she had been influenced by her grandmother. It only added up to about 30 yuan.
Thirty yuan is not even the monthly salary of a city worker, so it’s not a small amount.
The few of them were deadlocked, arguing endlessly, and finally parted on bad terms.
Fu Chengru, Fu Chengjie, and Fu Chengcai, these three people ate and took things happily. People would not argue with children, but they also disliked such behavior in their hearts.
Zhaodi was extremely disgusted and thought they were such losers. A greedy little cat like Pandi would never do such a thing!
......
On the morning of the fifth day of the New Year, the Feng family came to the door. The three members of the family brought the village chief and several young men from the village. They looked so ferocious that they did not seem to be coming to take a wife, but to kill someone. This attracted all the people in Qingshan Village to follow and watch the fun.
The Fu family was not afraid either. Heiwa, the dog, led the way and, with his own strength, reduced the group's momentum by three points.
Song Fang was breastfeeding. Seeing this, she quickly picked up Baoer and went home to call for help.
Judging from the number of people, the Feng family is large and powerful, and can intimidate people. It seems that they will not give up until Fu Xiuzhi is brought back today.
Chen Zhifang called Wang Youtian and all the strong laborers in the village together. We can't let others bully our village.
The two groups of people, plus those who were watching the fun, blocked the Fu family's small courtyard inside and out.
"Hand over the people from our Fengjia Village!"
"Hand it over! Hand it over!"
Wang Youtian shouted, "What Fengjia Village people?! Fu Xiuzhi is from our Qingshan Village. She and Feng Chao were married and are now voluntarily divorcing. It's none of your business!"
Father Feng was disdainful. "Bah! Once you marry into our family, you are a member of the Feng family. You are now destroying my son's marriage, which is illegal!"
"You old bastard, you still know the word 'illegal'? Pah!" Chen Youmei protected Fu Xiuzhi. "You are breaking the law by robbing people and causing trouble! Believe it or not, we will report you to the police!"
Chen Zhifang looked at Feng's father with dissatisfaction, "Your family beat up our villagers like this, and we haven't even come to settle the score with you yet, and now you're bringing it to our door!"
"Haha, what does it have to do with you how we beat our own daughter-in-law? Even if we beat her to death, it's not your turn to blame us!" Feng's mother pinched her waist, looking like a shrew.
Seeing her like this, Jiang Fengxia became furious and rushed forward to fight her, as she didn't know how to torture her own daughter.
Song Fang quickly stopped her and whispered to comfort her, "Godmother, don't do it yet. Wait for them to do it first. That way, when the police come, we won't be at the wrong."
Jiang Fengxia thought about it and agreed, so she swallowed her anger.
The head of Fengjia Village put his hands behind his back and walked forward pretentiously: "Who among you is the head of Qingshan Village?"
No one paid any attention to him.
"Ahem, I mean, who is..."
"If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you talking nonsense here? Do you think you can talk to the person in charge of our Qingshan Village?"
"That's right, don't you see what you are?"
The people of Fengjia Village were so angry after being squeezed like this that they could no longer suppress their anger. Several young men rushed in and were about to start a fight.
Chen Zhifang waved his hand and said, "I am Secretary Chen Zhifang, and this is Village Chief Wang Youtian. What do you want to talk about?"
Village Chief Feng also stopped the villagers' behavior and said in a serious tone, "Brothers, I am Feng Debao, the village chief of Fengjia Village. I am here today mainly to seek an explanation. You are holding Feng Chao's wife hostage, which is not a good thing."
"So if you beat people up, it's a big deal?" Chen Zhifang looked down on such village cadres who were unreasonable.
Feng Debao pretended to glare at Feng Chao and said, "I've already told Chaozi that he won't dare to do it again. Let Xiuzhi go back with us. They fight at the head of the bed and make up at the foot of the bed. Talking about divorce or not is hurtful to their relationship."
When Fu Xiuzhi saw this group of people, she was filled with panic. Only then did she realize how afraid she was to return to the xenophobic Fengjia Village. They locked up the wives from outside the village and allowed them to be bullied by their husbands or parents-in-law. She had heard that several wives from outside the village had been tortured to death.
"I'm not going back with you! I told you I want a divorce from Feng Chao!" Fu Xiuzhi choked up. "It's illegal for you to kidnap someone. This is New China, and the law is upheld everywhere. As long as I want a divorce, no one can stop me!"
Feng Debao narrowed his eyes and looked at Fu Xiuzhi. Why did this little girl who usually kept silent and kept her head down have such a decisive mind today? Did she feel that she had the support of her family?
