Chen Yue was not afraid. She took a step forward and came in front of Chen Qiang. The two stood face to face, and both of them had a bad look on their faces.
She said confidently: "Without us three sisters, the Chen family would not be able to live as well as it is today. Would you be able to survive to this day? Don't you know what you owe me?"
"Chen Chun, Chen Hua, Chen Yue, it seems that the care and love your maternal family has shown you over the years has turned you into three ungrateful people. Well! Don't you owe me? Let's clear things up today!"
Wang Guiying was extremely disappointed with her three daughters. In that era, which family did not go through the same thing?
She turned around and went back to her room. After a while, she returned to the yard with a yellowed notebook in her hand.
Wang Guiying sat back on the long wooden bench, opened the first page of the notebook, and glanced at Chen Chun, Chen Hua, and Chen Yue with an unfriendly look.
Her gaze made the three sisters feel uneasy and they always had a bad feeling.
Wang Guiying did not look at them for too long. She quickly withdrew her gaze and looked at the notebook instead. She said in a cold voice: "This records the betrothal gifts and gifts you received when you got married, as well as the dowry from your parents' home, and the scene of your marriage.
And all these years, you have been begging from my mother's family, taking things openly or secretly, and borrowing money by coming back under various pretexts and crying poor, and never paying it back once.
I never thought that I would need it someday, but now that I have taken it out, let's sort it out once and for all and find out what exactly the Chen family owes you. still……"
Having said this, Wang Guiying's face became increasingly gloomy, and her eyes seemed to be filled with anger, deep disappointment, and sadness.
"You are so heartless and ungrateful, and you keep asking for too much. You owe us the Chen family so much!
"Before the liquidation, let me be frank. It is only natural to repay debts. The party who owes money must repay it unconditionally!"
Wang Guiying looked at Chen Guo, Chen Qiang, Chen Chun, Chen Hua, Chen Yue, and finally Gu Zhenqi, and said in a gentle tone: "Zhenqi, today you should take a good look at our Chen family and see what kind of ungrateful person has emerged. In the future, you should be more careful and look at people with open eyes!"
"Mom, what are you talking about? We haven't even started the reckoning yet. If you say this, aren't you just going to kill us three sisters?"
"It's not fair, mother, you are too biased, we don't accept it!"
"That's right, mother. You live in the Chen family, so you must be biased towards the old Chen family from the bottom of your heart."
"A man of integrity has nothing to fear. I have a clear conscience. It's not that I feel it's unfair, I'm biased. Fine, I'll leave you speechless and convinced!"
"Chen Qiang, go get the team leader, Chen Guo, go get those respected elders in the village, and invite a few women in the village who like to chat with us!"
"Okay, Mom, I'll go right away."
"Don't worry, Mom, I promise to do it clearly!"
Chen Chun, Chen Hua, and Chen Yue began to feel timid when they saw that Wang Guiying wanted to make a big deal out of it.
When they came back to her parents' home this time, they originally planned to find Gu Zhenqi to settle the matter of beating Chen Yue, and then ask for some compensation so that they could get a good look from her husband's family when they returned.
If the matter gets out of hand and gets reported to their husband's family, given the nature of the people they married into, who knows how they'll ridicule, mock and embarrass them.
They will definitely feel that they are shameful and treat them with disdain;
Furthermore, it would be natural to think that they had a falling out with their mother’s family.
Without the support of their older brothers from their natal family, their life in their husband’s family would probably be even more difficult!
Chen Chun, in particular, felt afraid. In the eyes of Chen Hua and Chen Yue, she looked like a powerful elder sister.
In fact, in the eyes of her husband's family, she was a coward who could be bullied at will. Anyone could scold her, and her husband would slap her in the face when he was unhappy. This was a common occurrence.
If she hadn't been concerned about the fact that she had three brothers from her mother's side, she would have been beaten up long ago, not just a few slaps and kicks that didn't hurt!
The three of them had their own thoughts. After thinking for a moment, they stepped forward and grabbed Wang Guiying. Their attitudes were much softer than before, and their tone was gentler.
"Mom, we can't just keep our family affairs behind closed doors. As the old saying goes: Don't air your dirty laundry in public! If the villagers knew, they would laugh at us."
"My elder sister is right, mother, you are the one who cares most about your reputation, you can't let others laugh at you, especially..."
"We don't have to do anything. We still have to go back to our parents' home. We don't want to make things too awkward. If you feel sorry for us, we can discuss compensation."
Gu Zhenqi really admired these three sisters-in-law. Her mother-in-law was well-known in the village for being smart and capable!
It would be strange if I couldn't see that he was playing those little tricks in front of me?
If you have the ability to make a fuss, you must also be able to endure it. You are almost thirty years old, but you still want to act like a girl and throw a tantrum!
Human nature has its limits, and so does tolerance!
Gu Zhenqi could see that her mother-in-law's indulgence towards her three sisters-in-law had finally come to an end. After today, it would be difficult for them to return to their parents' home, so what kind of trouble could they cause?
"You guys think I'm unfair, don't you? I'm looking for someone to make a fair decision, but you guys are unhappy about it. There's no room for negotiation. Get out of the way!"
Chen Chun, Chen Hua and Chen Yue were still a little scared when they saw Wang Guiying like this, but they were even more afraid that the matter would get out of hand and reach the ears of her husband's family.
The reason why their husband's family allows them to go back to their parents' home every few days is simply because they go back to their parents' home empty-handed, but go back to their husband's home with both hands full of things!
After all, what we want is the things they bring back, which can more or less supplement the household expenses. Besides, they are never polite every time they come back to their parents' home, and they take away anything they see in plain sight without hesitation.
"Mom, don't look for anyone, you know we..."
"Don't make it too ugly. If you are laughed at, what good will it do you? "
"How about this, Mom! We don't want much. Just give us a hundred yuan each. For the remaining hundred yuan, write an IOU and keep it for later."
"Chen Chun, Chen Hua, Chen Yue, what are you afraid of?"
Gu Zhenqi suddenly spoke deliberately, exposing the three people's clumsy performance in an attempt to cover up their fear.
They couldn't disobey Wang Guiying and Gu Zhenqi. They couldn't beat them, but it was always good to vent their anger. So the three of them seemed to have found an outlet. "Gu Zhenqi, what are you talking about? Are you afraid? Ha, you are making fun of us. What are we afraid of?"
"If anyone is afraid, it should be you. Three aunts went back to their parents' home peacefully, but you beat them up for no reason. If you don't give an explanation, what do you think the villagers will say about you?"
"Hmph, look at my injuries, the evidence is irrefutable. When the captain and the villagers come, I'll see how you can argue. I advise you to prepare the compensation. Maybe..."
"Maybe what? Maybe, we can't let her go, otherwise we won't be able to go back to my parents' home in the future. We can't go back once and get beaten up by her, right?"
Gu Zhenqi listened to what Chen Chun, Chen Hua, and Chen Yue said, and felt that Chen Yue's words made the most sense. She only responded to her: "Chen Yue, your suggestion is very good. I can consider adopting it. You should work hard. I will beat you up every time you come back to your parents' home in the future!"
"You are really rebellious. As an outsider, I really don't know why you are so arrogant. My third brother hasn't been home for three years, right?"
"I remember you two, but you haven't got your marriage certificate yet, right? He might have started a family outside, and you've been abandoned in the village, a sow giving birth, living like a widower like a fool!"
"Snap, snap!"
Two slaps of different strengths were heard, and Wang Guiying and Gu Zhenqi's hands hit Chen Yue's left and right faces almost at the same time.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law shouted in unison: "Shut up!"
Gu Zhenqi followed the principle of respecting the old and loving the young, and gave priority to the elders. He stopped talking and gave Wang Guiying a polite look, saying "Please speak first."
Wang Guiying didn't bother to be polite with her and continued: "Chen Yue, if you can't speak, just shut your mouth. No one will treat you as a mute. Listen, listen, are those words you just said human words? Or did you hear someone say something?"
"What kind of person is your brother Chen Kuo? He has been excellent in both character and learning since he was young, and was selected to be a key unit for training. How could he get married without a marriage certificate? Is he a person with a weak will? He went home to get married that time, but he had little leave and did everything in a hurry! As his sister, can you make up such a rumor?"
