Du Dazhu's wife, Li Qiongying, was terrified. She realized what Du Qiaoju was about to say and quickly rushed over to cover her mouth. "Shut up! Don't talk nonsense! Do you want to destroy the entire Du family? When my parents come back, how heartbroken they'll be to see the family ruined and the siblings fighting each other."
Du Ergou leaned close to her ear and threatened her in a low voice, "If you dare to harm my family, I will marry you to a village bastard. It's up to you whether your family accepts you or not. I'm telling you, if you don't have your family's support, you will be bullied terribly by your husband's family!"
Suddenly, before Gu Wanwan arrived, her voice drifted over. "Du Qiaoju is unemployed now, so she can only work in the fields. But I suspect Li Qiongying and Du Ergou will most likely find you a husband, collect a betrothal gift, and squeeze every last ounce of your worth out of you. Du Qiaoju, your hopes of marrying a city dweller are over."
Not to mention that Li Qiongying and Du Ergou really had such an idea. After all, Du Qiaoju was caught for theft and her reputation had already been ruined. People in Xiangyang Village would definitely not dare to go there, so they could only marry her off far away. Maybe someone would still want her. It would be difficult for a widower like her to find a wife, and the bride price was usually very high.
Du Qiaoju knew her sister-in-law's second brother's character too well. One was a woman who came from a den of thieves in Qingshan, and the other was a village slacker who was addicted to gambling. Both of them were selfish. Not only him, but also her father and herself were all such people. The only exception was her eldest brother Du Dazhu, who was very honest and was always bullied.
She had no doubt that her second brother and sister-in-law would marry her to a widower in the mountains in order to preserve their reputation and earn the bride price.
Thus her life was ruined.
"I still owed Gu Wanwan a thousand yuan. If you're not afraid of her making a scene, just sell me out. Do you think you can live a life of luxury in exchange for the betrothal gift? Forget it. Gu Wanwan won't let anyone go..."
Gu Wanwan raised her eyebrows slightly. It was a rare moment for Du Qiaoju to be clever, but unfortunately, she didn't have a sage heart. Whether Du Qiaoju lived or died had nothing to do with her. "I don't care what grudges there are within the Du family. If you have eaten or used my things, you must spit it all out. Du Qiaoju is your Du family. If she can't pay it back, I will come after you, Du family."
Li Qiongying was furious when she saw Du Qiaoju dragging them all into this. She slapped her sister-in-law twice and said, "Sister-in-law, you are such a jerk. I will teach you a lesson on behalf of my parents-in-law. You are the one who paid the debt. Why should I pay it back?"
Du Qiaoju was no coward. How could she stand there and get beaten? She fought back immediately, "I've tolerated you for a long time, you shameless ugly woman, a thief from Qingshan Village. My house was robbed because of you, Qingshan Village. You are not worthy of being my sister-in-law. Believe it or not, I will report you!"
"Elder Gu Wanwan sent you a package, and you were quite happy with it at the time. Now you want to distance yourself from it? No way."
Du Ergou simply joined the battle and played mixed doubles with Li Qiongying.
They thought they could beat Du Qiaomei into submission, but they didn't know that this would undoubtedly irritate Du Qiaomei.
Gao Kelian stood aside and watched coldly. No matter which side it was, she would not take sides or give advice.
Upon hearing the news, Gu Yarou rushed to the scene and immediately put her helpful and kind personality into play. "Stop fighting. We're all family. Let's talk it out."
As soon as the words fell, Du Ergou seemed to be possessed and immediately stopped moving, instantly turning into Gu Yarou's licker. "Yarou, educated youth, why are you here? It's actually nothing serious, no need to bother you."
Gu Yarou looked at Gu Wanwan, seemingly trying to mediate, but in reality, she was pushing Gu Wanwan into the spotlight. "Wanwan, I've heard all about your feud. The Du family is having a hard time right now, and you've caused discord between the siblings. Could you please step back and try to calm things down? I believe the Du family would be grateful to you."
