"Grandma Chen, tell me what happened back then, tell the truth!" Grandma Gu glanced at Grandma Chen, who was standing at the door trembling.
Matchmaker Chen swears that this was absolutely the most brutal matchmaking experience of her career. The women from both sides fought each other to the point of shouting for blood.
This isn't about making in-laws; it's about making enemies.
She dared not show favoritism to either side, as one was the village head's family and the other was the strong-willed Gu Xianglan's family; offending either of them would be bad.
So she recounted what had happened, even capturing the pauses in the conversation.
Grandma Gu sneered, "So, my Gu family's daughter isn't a good person if she doesn't marry your village head's son? What? Does your Zhang family have something that makes my daughter absolutely have to marry into your family? Maybe! But my daughter has high standards, unlike some shallow-minded people who rush to curry favor!"
As she spoke, she glanced at Madam Xu, Madam Yang, and Old Lady Zhang's youngest daughter-in-law who had entered the family a couple of years ago.
Grandma Xiao said lazily, "Old Gu, don't forget about money, money. They injured our family, we can't give them face and not charge for medicine just because they're the village head's family."
Before Old Lady Zhang could retort, Empress Dowager Jiang spoke up: "Although Sister Xiao understands medicine, gathering herbs in the mountains takes time, doesn't it? A little bit of money can't be ignored. Look at Huihui's mother; I've only been away for a short while, and I think she's lost weight from being beaten by the Zhang family. Shouldn't we spend some money on tonics? Nian Nian's mother has always been frail; she must have been frightened this time. Sister Xiao, you must prescribe some good tonics to calm her nerves! And Xiao Huan, such a good girl, about to get married, look at the injuries she's suffered; it wouldn't be right not to get some good ointment! Old Lady Zhang, considering your son is the village head, you should compensate us with a hundred or eighty taels! You should thank your son; if it weren't for his position as village head, you definitely wouldn't have been able to resolve this matter with a hundred or eighty taels today!"
"Pfft!" Old Mrs. Zhang was so angry that she spat out a mouthful of blood.
This female thief, with a hundred or eighty taels of silver, isn't she trying to kill them?
Also, why should their family pay compensation? They were also injured!
Zhang, along with Cai Xiaolian and Yang Xiaohuan, stood obediently behind Grandma Gu and the other two. "Well, you old folks fight the old folks, and we young ones fight the young ones. Anyway, we'll have money to buy medicine if we get hurt. Very good, very good!"
Grandma Gu looked at Old Lady Zhang: "Pay up the money, or leave?"
Grandma Zhang glared at Grandma Gu with hatred: "Gu Xianglan, you just wait and see! I'll make sure my son kicks you all out of Sanchakou Village!"
Grandma Gu laughed: "Alright! Considering you're about to be kicked out of Sanchakou Village by my son, I'll forget about the hundred or eighty taels. Goodbye!"
Old Mrs. Zhang exclaimed as if she had heard a joke: "You're dreaming!"
After saying that, he fled in panic!
Zhang's daughter-in-law and granddaughter also helped each other and limped away.
Seeing this, Granny Chen was also frightened and dared not stay. She said goodbye to Grandma Gu and left.
"Mother! Which son of yours are you asking to drive them away? Don't make such threats!" Zhang asked Grandma Gu, her voice filled with doubt.
"Where's Renren? Aren't you supposed to be here?" Grandma Gu looked around but couldn't find the child.
"Oh no! I locked Renren in the room with my second brother and sister-in-law!" Zhang said, slapping her head, only to find it hurt. "Ouch!"
Grandma Gu simply couldn't bear to look.
Which son should she ask? If a daughter causes trouble, whose father should handle it? Which son would it be?
The Cheng and Xu families were both defeated by the second son, so why can't the Zhang family be defeated by the second son?
She doesn't care what methods she uses, she just wants results. These kids all look so respectable, and it's no use bothering Gu Nian all the time.
Grandma Gu was considering whether she should take back control of her two granddaughters' marriages from the second wife and her husband.
But these two granddaughters are not as worry-free as the two from the eldest son's side!
What a terrible thing!
