Chapter 467 Contradiction Transformation
The old sheep head looked at Ronghua as if he was an idiot, then deliberately whipped her hard with the bull whip, scaring Ronghua so much that she took a step back, staggered and almost fell to the ground.
The second uncle's eldest son Quanfu and second son Quanfu immediately protected their sister and glared at the old sheephead with an evil look on their faces.
But the old sheephead is not afraid of them. He was not afraid when they plotted against him. Why would he be afraid of them now that he is old?
"Why are you staring at me? No matter how hard you stare, your eyes are just slits. You can't see the wounds on my body, right? The wounds on my body are too big, they can't enter your squinty eyes, right?" The old sheep-headed man was unyielding and specifically attacked their shortcomings.
There's nothing we can do about it, the second uncle's family all have squinty eyes.
Quan Fu was enraged by Old Sheephead's words and wanted to take action. Old Sheephead had known that this man could not stand provocation, and he was ready to fight back. As long as he dared to take action, he would swing the whip in his hand. He had long wanted to beat Quan Fu severely, but unfortunately he never had the chance. It was also to avenge the frame-up he had suffered that year.
Unfortunately, the second uncle did not give the two a chance to fight. He coldly scolded them: "Alright, you still think it's not embarrassing enough? Get back here."
The second uncle shouted and his two sons stood behind him angrily, but they still glared at the old sheephead fiercely with an expression that said, "Just wait for me." The old sheephead glared back at them without any fear.
Seeing that Old Sheephead was injured, the second uncle said to Old Sheephead, "Since you are injured, we will compensate you for your medical expenses. Just let him go. Let's just forget about this matter. For the sake of Second Uncle, okay?"
"No, Gousheng killed one of our sheep, the biggest one. You have to buy that sheep back as well, otherwise we will send Gousheng to jail." The woman said anxiously.
Second Master had never thought that there would be such a thing. How much silver would that cost for a sheep?
"Dad, Gousheng can't be sent to jail. Can you think of a way? I can't live without a man, can I?"
Ronghua immediately grabbed the second uncle's arm and shook it hard.
The second uncle was very annoyed and turned around and slapped Ronghua in the face.
"You sound nice, but do you think I want him to go to jail? Does that mean my face is no longer a face?"
The second uncle was so angry at the couple that he felt heartbroken, but there was nothing he could do except sigh.
After being slapped by the second uncle, Ronghua was embarrassed and dared not say anything more.
But Quan Fu stood up and questioned: "You said that Gou Sheng killed your sheep. What evidence do you have? Who knows if you killed it yourself, but you put the blame on Gou Sheng?"
The old sheep head ignored Quan Fu and said to the second uncle: "Second uncle, if you compensate our sheep and my medical expenses today, this is it. You take the man home. If you have any doubts, we will go to the county government. I still have to go to the town to see a doctor. Please make way for me. Isn't the sentence for thieves in Da Qi quite severe? I heard that they will have to tattoo their faces. Your family will have a thief son-in-law in the future."
The old man's words deeply hurt the second uncle, but there was nothing he could do. Others might not know what his son-in-law is like, but doesn't he know it?
He indulged in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling. It was all his fault that he was too impatient and married his daughter off without finding out everything. It's too late to say anything now.
"How much does your sheep weigh? I'll buy it, and I'll convert your medical expenses into silver and calculate it together."
The old sheephead didn't expect that the second uncle would be so open-minded today, so of course he had to make a killing.
"I used someone's golden wound medicine last night. They said a bottle costs five taels of silver. And this sheep weighs 170 jin. I'll charge you 15 wen per jin, which is 2 taels, 550 wen in total, 7 taels, 550 wen in total. The rest doesn't count. We all live in the same village. From now on, just keep a close eye on him. He broke the locks of my house. We can fix it ourselves later. I won't ask you to charge me."
After the old sheep head finished speaking, the second uncle and his two sons were petrified on the spot. So much silver was enough to marry two wives.
"You are robbing me, right? Why is this sheep so expensive? And what kind of medicine did you use for wounds? When would you, old sheep, be willing to use such expensive medicine? Aren't you extorting money?"
The second uncle felt that he was fooled by the old sheep-head, and he didn't want to have a good talk with him at all.
The old sheep head sneered: "Second uncle, you know the price of mutton sold by my family in previous years? Is it this cheap?"
"That price is for mutton. You also have internal organs and skin. How can it be so expensive?"
"So I'm getting a bargain? Mutton is over 20 cents a pound, and I only want 15 cents a pound from you."
The second uncle couldn't argue with the old sheephead. After all, he didn't know as much about the price of meat as the old sheephead. But he knew that the old sheephead definitely didn't give him a bargain and might even sell it at a high price.
But now Gousheng is in his hands. He has no choice but to abandon Gousheng and cut off ties with his daughter's family from now on, leaving them to pay the money themselves.
"Dad, our family can't afford so much money. My sister didn't even receive a dowry when she got married. Do you think we have to pay compensation now?"
The second uncle's second son Quanfu was really afraid that his father would lose his mind and, because he loved his daughter so much, he would borrow money from others to fill the hole. Their family had no savings unless they sold the house.
Of course, the second uncle knew what the situation was at his home. Even if he wanted to help, he didn't have the ability.
"What should we do? Are we just going to watch Gousheng go to jail?" The second uncle sighed with his hands behind his back and hunched back.
"If it really doesn't work, let's take my sister back and divorce her. This brother-in-law is useless in my opinion. He hasn't let my sister live a good life for so many years."
The eldest son Quanfu looked angrily at Gousheng lying on the ox cart.
Gousheng had originally planned to ask his father-in-law to rescue him, but he didn't expect that his elder brother-in-law would ask them to divorce. If they really divorced, he would be finished, as his family still had a lot of debts to pay.
"Brother, you can't just ignore me, can you? Ronghua, are you willing to divorce me? If you lose me, who will warm your bed?"
Gousheng had a tight grip on Ronghua. His shout immediately made Ronghua, who had been somewhat hesitant, become energized. She ran to her elder brother and knelt down directly.
"Brother, I can't live without Gousheng. Please don't ask me to divorce you. I won't divorce you. Can you please save Gousheng? I will definitely find a way to pay back the money."
Quan Fu saw that Ronghua looked so disappointed in him that he really wanted to kick her, but she was his sister after all. Even though he was lazy at ordinary times, he was very nice to Ronghua.
I didn't expect this sister to be so disappointing. That's seven taels of silver. Where can they get it? Besides, his eldest son also wants to get married. If everyone in the surrounding villages knew that their family had a thief son-in-law, who would dare to marry them?
Quan Fu's face turned cold and he didn't want to pay any attention to Ronghua.
