On the first night Liu Da and Liu Er came to Wang Shunzi's house, Liu Er overheard Wang Liu Shi's conversation with Wang Siyun.
Wang Liu wanted to arrange for Wang Siyun to become a second wife in a wealthy family in the capital. The family was in the gold business, their house was full of gold, and they had relatives who were officials in the court. Wang Liu was very interested, and Wang Siyun was also very interested.
The two understood Liu Er's meaning and began discussing how to get rid of him.
The mother and daughter came up with a plan: Wang Siyun would take Liu Er to the back mountain the next day and invite the children from the family, so that they wouldn't have to worry about the two of them being alone together.
Once they reached the back mountain, Wang Siyun would find an opportunity to take Liu Er to the cave. There, Wang Liushi and her daughters-in-law would find a female beggar and let Liu Er spend the night with her in the cave. Even if nothing happened, Liu Er would be too ashamed to ask to marry her again. He might even feel sorry for her and treat her as well as before, and might even contribute money to her dowry.
Where can we find this female beggar? Wang Zhangshi is from the next village. There is a family in Wang Zhangshi's hometown village with only a lame old man and his little granddaughter. We can just have Wang Zhangshi bring the little granddaughter over.
That little granddaughter did indeed often dress in tattered clothes and go to nearby towns or the capital to beg for food.
Liu Er could hardly believe what he was hearing. He was furious and wanted to rush in and yell at his aunt and his sweetheart, but he was stopped by Wang Changfu, who had suddenly appeared.
Liu Er didn't even realize why Wang Changfu would suddenly appear. Then Wang Changfu pulled him outside. The big yellow dog barked at that time, but since Wang Changfu often came and went from Wang Shunzi's house, it only barked a few times, and the family didn't think anything of it.
Liu Er was instilled with all sorts of disdain for him by Wang Changfu. He was told that Wang Liu Shi and Wang Siyun just wanted to use his money, and that the day he ran out of money, the mother and daughter would definitely ignore him.
The Liu brothers have made money in recent years, and they were among the first to do business in Kuncheng. They are good at farming, and they bought several kinds of seeds and fruit tree seedlings from Uncle Gu to plant in their hometown. They also bought a lot of small items from the Gu family to sell in their hometown, making a profit from the price difference. Last year, when the fruit ripened, the two brothers made money again. With money and confidence, they dared to come to their aunt's house to propose marriage.
At that time, Liu Er was not so impulsive as to want to kill the Wang family. It was Wang Changfu who instigated him to see the faces of the women and men of the family the next day, and then to turn the tables on them.
So, the next day, Liu Er was successfully taken to the back mountain, and all the plans were carried out one by one. Until the third day, the Wang family went to the back mountain to look for Liu Er and found him in the cave with a female beggar from the neighboring village.
Wang Liu's wife immediately led several daughters-in-law to rush up and beat the two men. Liu Er protected the female beggar and was scratched and injured many times. The female beggar ran away, and Liu Da went forward to help his younger brother.
Wang Liushi, looking like she was in the right, said with heartache how much she wanted Liu Er to be her son-in-law, but the marriage hadn't even been agreed upon yet, and Liu Er had done this, making their family lose face in the village!
Wang Shunzi was also a little angry. When he saw his sons about to beat Liu Er, he thought about the things Liu Er had sent over the past year or two. He was still concerned about his reputation, since they weren't engaged yet. Wang Liu Shi was Liu Er's aunt. If he had already beaten her, so be it. But if he let his sons beat Liu Er, that would be wrong.
