Chapter 160 Threat
Unfortunately, whether it was Chu Ci or the Water Tribe Leader, what they wanted was to make Ding Jianzhou overwhelmed by this series of events, leaving him no chance to breathe or respond.
Just as Lu Yu finished speaking, the Water Chief led the Water Scholars onto the stage in a hurry.
The head of the Shui clan had been holding his breath for a long time, although the anger in his heart actually came more from his anger towards Shui Juren, angry at his weakness and incompetence, allowing his sister to suffer so much grievance in the Ding family.
But people are ultimately divided into close and distant relatives. If you want to vent your anger, you will naturally target outsiders first.
The head of the Shui tribe pointed at Ding Jianzhou angrily and shouted, "Ding Jianzhou, how dare you say that you are unaware of all the torture your family has inflicted on A-mei over the years?"
"My parents are not that kind of people." Even at this point, Ding Jianzhou was still trying to pretend to be confused.
These words immediately angered the Water Tribe leader, "Ding Jianzhou, my sister is still in your woodshed! Tell me, whose pregnant woman would live in a woodshed?"
"You Ding family members have no conscience. My sister has been taking care of the younger ones and the older ones, and she's so tired that she's bleeding."
"But what about your family? You hired two doctors. I didn't know why before, but now I finally understand?" Nian Niang acted out the look of being so excited that she couldn't speak.
"Divorce! My sister must divorce today. Our Shui family does not wish to marry into a family with bad family values. Teacher, I hope you can bear witness for us."
At this moment, Shui Juren was gently poked by the Shui clan leader from behind, and he stood up to make the final summary speech.
And once again, the teacher, who wanted to shrink into the crowd, slipped out.
Teacher: What's going on? He originally thought it was just a fake. How did he end up working as a matchmaker?
But he really couldn't refuse to give face to Mr. Shui.
So, although he was somewhat reluctant in his heart, he still said habitually: "Although what the Ding family did was indeed excessive, a proper lesson will be enough. As for the divorce, is there no need for that?"
He thought to himself that it would be best if a big thing could be made small, or a small thing could be made nothing, and try not to make things too big or too awkward. After all, this was not a glorious thing, so if it could be resolved peacefully, try to resolve it peacefully.
The teacher thought he had good intentions.
However, this directly angered Nian Niang: "You are such a dignified teacher, how can you be so confused about right and wrong? Didn't you hear what that little girl surnamed Lu said? He already has a new target. Our sister was lucky to escape this time, but can she always be as lucky as today?"
At this very moment, Lu Yu also burst into tears. "Master Instructor, please, let Mr. Ding spare my family. If there is no other way, I can only die to put an end to Mr. Ding's scheme."
If Nian Niang's anger had no effect on the teacher, Lu Yu's words were a powerful threat, and the teacher's face turned green.
Even if he could make up a story about his original wife, Lu Yu and the Lu family insisted that they did not know her.
However, the fact that A-mei was in the woodshed was indisputable.
The scene of Shui Juren driving a horse-drawn carriage towards the Ding family was also witnessed by many people.
The most crucial thing is the teacher. If he really reported to the county magistrate and investigated, there would be members of the original wife's family.
But what you fear will come true.
I don't know who was the meddler (actually it was Chu Ci) but he gave a copy of everything Ding Jianzhou had done over the years not only to the instructor but also to each of the scholars who followed him.
"Teacher, Ding Jianzhou's behavior makes him unworthy of being a scholar. I implore you to strip Ding Jianzhou of his title of scholar."
The teacher was still a little hesitant, feeling that today's events were too coincidental. So he said, "I will report this to the county magistrate upon my return, and he will conduct a thorough investigation."
As he spoke, he looked around at the crowd.
Chu Ci was clear-headed, but Lu Yu's fear of officials was already ingrained in his bones, and he immediately seemed a little guilty.
Seeing this, Chu Ci secretly thought that something was wrong. (He then quickly gestured to Sixteen, who then hurriedly retreated.)
As expected, the teacher gave Lu Yu a deep look, and then said to Shui Juren as if nothing had happened, "Are you going to discuss this here?"
"Please, Your Excellency the Instructor, please come in and take a seat." Ding Jianzhou had just finished speaking.
The head of the Shui clan immediately retorted: "Let's do it here. All the scholars are insiders."
"There's nothing for us in the Shui family to hide, so it's better to be frank. This will prevent us from being maliciously framed by others in the future. If this were to implicate the Lord Instructor, it would be our fault."
At first, the teacher thought that the water chief was ignorant of etiquette.
However, after hearing the final words and combining them with the information on Ding Jianzhou's actions, this is indeed possible.
So he silently agreed to the proposal of the Water Tribe Chief.
The Ding family wanted to say they disagreed.
But the young men from the Shui family acted extremely quickly and had already carried out the Ding family's tables and chairs.
At this moment, Ding Jianzhou was angry, anxious and annoyed. He felt a rage burning in his chest, his blood surging, and the blue veins on his forehead and neck were bulging one by one.
It's true that birds of a feather flock together. Chief Shui and the people he brought with him were all men of action.
On the other hand, Ding Jianzhou and Dingjia Village were just shouting happily, saying that the Shui family's actions were too much, but no one actually took action to deal with it.
Such a contrast made Ding Jianzhou feel ashamed and angry, but he was helpless for a while. This feeling of frustration almost drove him crazy.
But this is just the beginning.
At the beginning of the negotiations, the chief of the water tribe insisted on Ding Jianzhou's bad behavior and not only demanded a divorce, but also wanted to take away all six children born to A Mei.
This is simply trampling on the Ding family's reputation!
Even those who stayed to watch the fun felt that the Shui family had gone a bit too far. After all, it had long been deeply rooted in people's minds that children should look like their fathers.
As for this, Chu Ci had only two words in his mind: pedantic.
He lowered his voice and said, "Just like Ding Jianzhou, if the child follows him, he will probably only be able to dig in the dirt for food in this life, right?"
After Chu Ci said this, those who had just been denouncing the Shui family became like ducks with their necks pinched.
Others didn't know who said this, but Chu Ci was right next to the Water Tribe Chief, so he must have known it!
