Chapter 74 Chapter 74 Isn’t this just stealing?
When the group of people who came with them heard Donglan's family's explanation, they were all stunned.
Among these people, many were like Zhao Hongli and Donglan, who only held a wedding banquet but did not get a marriage certificate.
They have never heard that they are not considered husband and wife without a marriage certificate.
Many people around them are like this, and no one has ever thought about this problem.
Everyone was worried and wondered whether they should get the marriage certificate when they got back.
But you can't be like Zhao Hongli, who had no legitimate reason to get his wife back after she ran away.
However, Donglan's family members insisted on this point and were unwilling to acknowledge that Zhao Hongli was their son-in-law.
"Zhao Hongli and my daughter Donglan haven't obtained a marriage certificate, so the law doesn't recognize them as husband and wife. If you don't agree, let Zhao Hongli sue us in court!"
Going to court is too far away for ordinary people like them.
It's so far away that it seems like something that only exists on TV.
Whenever there is any problem in the village that does not involve crime, it is almost always mediated by the village cadres.
Donglan's family also knows this, so they dare to say this.
They bet that Zhao Hongli would not dare to sue them.
Zhao Hongli, who was carried along, was indeed a little scared.
But he was not convinced: "Your family received a lot of betrothal gifts from me, and there are so many witnesses, you can't cheat!"
"It's just one or two thousand yuan," one of Donglan's brothers said nonchalantly, "Who cares about your little money? We'll return it to you now!"
"Bah! You say you don't like it now, but how can one or two thousand yuan now compare to one or two thousand yuan in the past? Besides the money, there are also three turns and one ring!"
Zhao Hongli was not stupid either. He asked Donglan's family to give him the money according to the current prices.
The gifts given when proposing the marriage were also required to be converted into cash and returned together.
Zhao Hongli spoke so quickly that his elder brother couldn't react in time to stop him.
I was so angry that I wanted to slap Zhao Hongli.
The purpose of their coming was to help him find his wife.
This idiot made others so excited that he forgot his original intention and even went so far as to ask for money!
What's the use of this money?
A middle-aged man who loves to drink and beat his wife all day long, wants to use this little money to wash you away and marry another one?
Zhao Hongli's elder brother glared at his stupid younger brother with disapproval, wishing he could turn back time and seal his mouth in advance.
Donglan's family snorted coldly and said, "Impossible. The most I can give you is two thousand. It's up to you to take it or not. If you don't want it, forget it!"
"Two thousand? You're giving two thousand to a beggar? You're marrying your daughter off twice, and you must have asked for a lot of dowry the second time you married her off!" Zhao Hongli became excited when he heard this and interrupted him again.
His elder brother was so angry that his temples were throbbing and he wished he could knock him out.
Seeing Zhao Hongli's ferociously excited face, he knew that the development of the situation was no longer under his control, so he simply stopped talking.
Just let Zhao Hongli do whatever he wants, as long as he doesn't return empty-handed in the end.
Anyway, as the eldest brother, he has helped his younger brother with everything he should do, so you can't blame him if he regrets it later.
When Donglan's family heard what Zhao Hongli said, they felt like they were hit in a sore spot and started to act unreasonably.
Donglan's mother, who was said to be always ill, even seriously ill, put one hand on her waist and pointed at Zhao Hongli's nose with the other hand and cursed:
"It's none of your business whether we ask for a betrothal gift or not!
Donglan didn't get married to you, but she's your wife and she gave birth to two kids for you. You're such a loser. I haven't asked you for money yet!
You still want to ask me for money? You are rebelling!
Donglan is the flesh and blood of my body. I carried her for ten months and gave birth to her with difficulty, but she still lived. She owes me for the rest of her life, not you, Zhao Hongli.
I can marry her to whoever I want, it’s none of your business!
If you have the ability, give birth to a child yourself, and no one can interfere with whoever you marry your child to!
Tsk tsk, I forgot, roosters can’t lay eggs, so you can’t give birth even if you want to! ”
When Zhao Hongli heard the last sentence, he thought Donglan's mother was mocking him for not being able to give birth to a son, and he became furious instantly.
"You old hag, you're looking for death!" He roared, and instead of lying down, he pretended to have been beaten so hard that he couldn't get up.
He rushed over like crazy and punched Donglan's mother.
"Ouch!" Donglan's mother didn't expect that she would be beaten even though her sons were present.
She was caught off guard and punched hard by Zhao Hongli.
After falling to the ground, she immediately rolled over on the ground and yelled at the top of her voice: "Someone is being beaten! Someone is being beaten! Someone is going to be beaten to death!"
"You bastard, how dare you hit my mother!" Donglan's brothers and cousins immediately rushed up and grabbed Zhao Hongli and started to beat him.
But they don't seem to be very popular in the village.
Rongwangtun is obviously their home ground, but the number of people who came is even less than that of Zhao Hongli's side.
The people on this side also rushed over, and the two sides fought together. Even less than half of the people on this side were unable to squeeze over to join in the fun.
Among those who failed to squeeze through were Zhao Ruyue’s brother and cousins who were sitting at the back.
At this time, Zhao Hongli's elder brother somehow did not rush to the front, but quietly went around to the back and ran to Zhao Ruyue and the others.
Zhao Ruyue and the others felt a little uneasy when they saw him quietly running up behind them.
The people in front of him supported his brother out of respect and rushed to the front, but he actually slipped to the back...
However, Zhao Hongli's elder brother also slipped back, not just because he didn't want to be in the front.
He came over secretly and whispered to them, "Brothers, we can't help with the front right now, can you help with other things?"
They looked at each other and asked, "What else?"
Zhao Hongli's elder brother said: "I just heard that Donglan's family bought a lot of good things some time ago.
There are washing machines, televisions, DVD players and so on!
I think the money they used to buy those things was most likely the betrothal money that Donglan got from marrying back for the second time.
Regardless of whether they admit it or not, my brother did give a dowry to their family and married Donglan. Now that she can't be found, they should give my brother some of the money as compensation, right?
But Donglan’s mother doesn’t even want to give us the money now. If she doesn’t give it to us, we can go and get it ourselves!
Taking advantage of the chaos in front, we went around and quietly entered Donglan's mother's house through the back door. ”
Isn't this stealing?
Zhao Ruyue wanted to persuade her brothers not to go.
But before she could say anything, her brother said: "This is not right, we can't do it...
What if someone calls the police and accuses us of stealing?
If you discuss it with Donglan's family and they agree to use those things as compensation to Hongli, we will definitely help you move without hesitation.
But it’s not okay to sneak in like a thief! ”
Zhao Hongli's brother saw that Donglan's family in front of him could not hold on any longer and the chaotic situation was about to end, and he couldn't wait.
He said, "You're just saying that you don't want to help. If you don't want to help, forget it. I'll find someone else."
He left the words and turned to look for other people.
He didn't find anyone who would go with him.
Those people took advantage of the fact that Donglan's family members didn't notice what was happening at the back door.
Their refrigerator, washing machine, television, DVD player, and a pair of large speakers were loaded onto one of the tractors they came in.
By the time Donglan's family finally noticed it, the tractor had already started and drove more than 20 meters away.
Donglan's mother wailed and shouted, calling her sons to chase after him.
But the tractor accelerated and its speed was not slow.
How can a two-legged person catch up with a four-legged car?
Now everyone left at the scene, except Zhao Ruyue and a few others, were dumbfounded.
No one expected things to develop in this way.
Those who were fighting stopped fighting and just looked at each other.
There was a fool who thought he was speaking quietly, but in fact his voice was loud enough for everyone present to hear him. He asked, "Now...what should we do? Should we keep fighting?"
"Fuck you!" Donglan's mother slapped her thigh and cried, "I'm going to sue him in the county. I must sue him in the county! I'll sue Zhao Hongli and his family in court and let the judge in the county decide for my family!"
Zhao Ruyue: “…”
"Brother, shall we go back too?"
Her brother still remembered that she had twisted her ankle and it was very painful, so she couldn't walk. He squatted in front of her and said, "Come on, I'll carry you back."
Zhao Ruyue patted his shoulder awkwardly: "Brother, I'm fine. I just said I sprained my ankle because I was worried about you guys rushing in front. I lied to you."
His brother and cousins: "..."
But they thought about it again and realized that she was really doing it for their own good, so they didn't mind.
Otherwise, there might be some impulsive youngsters among them, and they might really rush up.
Now it seems that both Donglan's family and Zhao Hongli's family are not easy to deal with.
Although they are from the same clan, they already know what that family is like. It would be better for them not to get involved if they can.
After Zhao Ruyue went back, she wanted to continue to follow to the old house to see what happened next.
But when she passed by her home, she found that there were quite a few customers in the store. Ning Shaoming was very busy, but he didn't complain when he saw her. He told her not to worry about home and to go and see if she wanted to.
How could Zhao Ruyue let him continue to work alone? She went into the house, washed her hands, and hurried to the store to help.
Things in Zhao Hongli’s family have gotten to that point, so it’s unlikely to end so soon.
Zhao Ruyue guessed that there were few people who could be chosen from Donglan's family, so they might not dare to go to Zhao Hongli's house.
When there were fewer customers in the store, Zhao Ruyue didn't go to see it again.
I remembered that Ning Shaoxian was willing to go out today and talked about this with Ning Shaoming.
"Do you want to go back to the old house?"
Ning Shaoming wanted to go back, but was a little hesitant: "Maybe there will be more guests coming."
"It's okay. The ingredients we prepared today are almost gone. When customers come, I will tell them that we have sold out the fried noodles and only have boiled noodles."
Zhao Ruyue still knows how to cook noodles.
There are also hot dog buns. All the ingredients for the hot dog buns are prepared in advance and only require assembly, which she can do too.
She had practiced frying noodles several times, but every time she did it, the noodles would still stick to the pan badly unless she added a lot of oil.
But adding too much oil would make it too greasy and not cost-effective, so she simply gave up learning this and only cooked rice noodles when Ning Shaoming was away for some temporary matters.
Ning Shaoming clearly counted the remaining ingredients in the kitchen, and there were indeed not many left.
Even if no more guests come in the future, the ingredients can be eaten up by their family.
"Then I'll go check it out. I can't let him retreat back to his room and act like a coward this time. If I don't ask him clearly, I'll always feel uneasy, as if there's a time bomb next to me."
Ning Shaoming came out of the kitchen and went to the bathroom to wash his face.
After wiping it clean, he left the store and walked quickly towards the old house.
