Yu Ruhai's face turned pale. He crumpled up the paper with Li Xiu'e's fingerprints on it and said through gritted teeth, "Are you trying to threaten me?"
Chen Gensheng smiled slightly, "How can it be a threat? I just want our two families to become closer, but if this doesn't happen, it's inevitable that there will be resentment!"
He stood up and looked at Yu Ruhai's face, which was trying hard to suppress his anger. He felt very happy in his heart, "Uncle, think about it carefully. If Arou and Fifth Brother get married, we will be a family. I will keep the matter of Hanshan to myself and will not let Li Xiu'e spread rumors outside. You might as well discuss it with your family. Once you have made up your mind, just bring the matchmaker to propose marriage."
After Chen Gensheng left, Yu Ruhai grabbed the teacup on the table and smashed it to the ground. Yu Zhoushi was originally taking a nap in the room, but was suddenly awakened by the noise. She put on her shoes and walked out of the room.
Seeing Yu Ruhai's face as dark as the bottom of a pot, with veins popping out of his neck due to anger, and the ground in a mess, he was shocked and asked, "What happened? Why are you so angry?"
"Where is that evil creature called the third brother?" Yu Ruhai almost roared out.
Yu Zhou was startled. Zhao, who heard the roar from the west room, hurried out of the room and said, "Dad, are you looking for Han Shan? He went for a stroll in the village."
Ever since he closed the pig head stall, Yu Hanshan had nothing to do and often went out to drink with others and never came home.
"Go find that bastard!" Yu Ruhai slammed the table and shouted angrily, "Tell him to get back here right away!"
Zhao hurried outside to look for someone, but she was wondering in her heart why he was angry with their third room again for no reason. It was just that Jinshu and Jinyan didn't make the list this time, so why was he finding trouble with their third room every day?
Yu Zhou picked up the broom and swept the broken porcelain pieces on the ground to the corner. She walked to Yu Ruhai and softened her voice, "Master, what happened? Did the third son get into trouble outside?"
"I don't know when that bastard hooked up with that young widow Li Xiu'e!" Yu Ruhai threw the crumpled confession on the table and said angrily, "Look! Look!"
Yu Zhou was startled and stepped forward to pick up the confession. Although she could not read, she knew something was wrong when she saw the vermilion fingerprints.
"Why would the third brother get involved with Li Xiu'e? There must be some misunderstanding." Yu Zhou held the confession letter in her hand, trying to defend Yu Hanshan.
Yu Ruhai snorted heavily, "Misunderstanding? This confession was sent by Chen Gensheng. Widow Li confessed everything. He threatened that the fifth brother must marry Chen Rou, otherwise he would send the third brother and Widow Li to the government office!"
"Han Shan...how could such a thing happen?" Thinking about how the pork stall did not make any profit but instead lost more than ten taels of silver, it made sense now. It was likely that all the money was lost to the young widow Liu Xiu'e.
Yu Zhou was so angry that her teeth ached. How could she give birth to such a stupid son? Both sons were so grown up, yet they could still do such stupid things outside!
"Go call the eldest and the second in command, as well as Qizhe." Yu Ruhai suppressed his anger, his lips trembling with anger.
Zhao found Yu Hanshan playing Pai Gow with others at Gousheng's house. Yu Hanshan was having a great time, but was unhappy when Zhao called him off the table.
"Stop glaring at me! My father asked me to come find you. He was very angry. Just wait for me to scold you when you get home!" Zhao snorted.
Yu Hanshan kicked the stone on the road away and said unhappily, "What's wrong with our father recently? He always finds fault with us. It's almost unbearable for us to stay in this house."
Speaking of this, Zhao also complained, "Dad only has eyes for the Second Branch now. He doesn't like anything about our Third Branch. He is almost biased. If this continues, Jinshu and Jinyan will suffer a lot!"
When they arrived home, they saw the main hall full of people. The people from the first and second wives were all there. Yu Ruhai and Yu Zhou were sitting in the hall with grim looks on their faces.
This scene made Yu Hanshan feel a little uneasy.
"Dad, what do you want me to do?" Yu Hanshan forced a smile and walked into the main room.
"Kneel down!" What greeted him was a loud shout from Mr. Yu.
Yu Hanshan was so frightened that his face changed. He asked hesitantly, "Dad...what did I do wrong?"
Yu Ruhai got angry when he saw him, and grabbed the cane on the table and said angrily, "You evil creature, you still have the nerve to ask me what I did wrong? Kneel down, or I will beat you to death today!"
Yu Hanshan subconsciously wanted to hide, and raised his eyes to look at Yu Zhoushi. Seeing that Yu Zhoushi turned her eyes away and had an indifferent attitude, he knelt on the ground obediently and was immediately hit on the back.
Zhao hurried to stop him, "Dad, what are you doing? Let's talk it over. Hanshan is already a grown man, how can you hit him in front of a child?"
Yu Ruhai pushed her away and slapped Yu Hanshan fiercely, cursing as he beat him, "You brainless idiot, I let you cheat! I let you be stupid! I let you be shameless!"
Yu Hanshan was beaten so hard that he cried out in pain. After hearing what the old man said, his heart skipped a beat and his face changed drastically. It was all over. How did the old man know about his affair with Li Xiu'e?
Zhao was a little confused and glanced at the faces of everyone in the room, "Dad, what do you mean by cheating?"
Yu Jinshu and Yu Jinyan stood in the corner. They had read the confession. They felt embarrassed that their father was shameless and was having an affair with a young widow at his age.
This made them feel more humiliated than when they failed the exam and watched everyone congratulating Yu Qizhe.
"What's the matter? Why don't you say something?" Zhao asked anxiously, feeling panicked.
Zhang looked at Zhao with a trace of pity and reluctance in her eyes, and whispered, "The letter sent by the Chen family said that the third brother had an affair with Widow Li at the end of the village."
Zhao was stunned and didn't say anything for a long time.
Yu Ruhai was so angry that he pulled the cane in his hand to pieces. He was exhausted and sweat broke out on his forehead. He stopped, held his waist, and asked with a rough breath, "When did you hook up with that young widow?"
The clothes on Yu Hanshan's back were torn and bleeding. He knelt on the ground, protecting his head, and stammered, "We have been together... not long ago, just... after the pork stall opened..."
Zhao, who was standing there in a daze, suddenly screamed and threw herself at Yu Hanshan, scratching and biting him in hatred, "You bastard! You actually cheated on me behind my back!"
Everyone in the room watched, but no one stepped forward to pull it.
At first, Yu Hanshan allowed Zhao to grab and hit him, but later, he felt pain from the bite and became annoyed. He grabbed Zhao's hand and pushed her away impatiently.
Although Zhao was a little fat, she was no match for Yu Hanshan, a man, and was pushed to the ground.
She sat on the ground and cried loudly, screaming, "Yu Hanshan, you are such a heartless person. I gave birth to two sons for you, and this is how you treat me? Has your conscience been eaten by a dog? I washed your clothes and cooked for you like a slave, and you went out to fool around with a young widow? Look at these two children, are you still qualified to be a father?"
