Chapter 273 An outsider is not worthy of my pity
Zhao Qiao'e was the first to rush forward to protect Song Yuntang.
"Brother, sister-in-law, Tang'er will not lie. Since Tang'er said that the bracelet is hers, it must be hers. You are Tang'er's elders after all. If you do this, aren't you afraid of teaching Xiaolan and Xiaotao bad things?"
"Ms. Zhao, you'd better get out of my way, otherwise don't blame me for being rude." Tian Cuiyun raised her hand and slapped her face.
Thirty-two taels of silver.
Who cares whether it will corrupt two money-losing girls who will get married in the future?
Although Xiaotao is her daughter.
Anyway, getting married would bring trouble to other families. The thirty-two taels of silver were the most important matter right now, as they affected the family's good life for many years to come.
Seeing this, Song Yuntang pulled Zhao Qiao'e over and kicked Tian Cuiyun hard, causing her to fall to the ground.
Upon seeing this, Tian Cuiyun sat on the ground and cried, "Oh my! Everyone, come and see, Song Yuntang, that damned little bastard, actually dared to hit his elders. Is there any law in broad daylight? Who can give me some advice?"
Unable to squeeze out tears, she secretly wiped some saliva under her eyes.
After she made such a fuss, the Zhao family members stopped.
However, the villagers outside the door who knew what had happened all looked like they were watching the fun and did not join her in blaming Song Yuntang.
The Song family members also frowned and looked at her with contempt.
Song Yuntang raised his lips into a faint smile with a sarcastic look on his face.
"Just go ahead and make a scene, and see who will pay attention to you."
Seeing that crying was of no use, Tian Cuiyun patted her butt, stood up from the ground and pointed at Song Yuntang.
"Song Yuntang, you better return Xiaolan's things to her immediately! Otherwise, I will call the head of your village to deal with you for beating your elders."
Song Yuntang crossed his arms across his chest, looking like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water.
"I'm married now, and I'm no longer under the jurisdiction of the head of Rongshu Village. Besides, you were the one who caused trouble today. This is not your Zhaojia Village."
"Then I..." Tian Cuiyun looked at her, "Then I will go find the head of Lushan Village."
Song Yuntang was unmoved. "The current mayor of Lushan Village is my husband's grandfather's nephew. Do you think he will help you or me?"
After hearing this, Tian Cuiyun continued to shout, "Oh, Song Yuntang is bullying me. I can't live like this anymore. I might as well just hit my head against the wall and die."
Song Yuntang nodded in agreement.
"It's better to stay away from it. Today is my mother's birthday. Don't let her be contaminated by bad luck."
Tian Cuiyun couldn't do anything to Song Yuntang, so she turned her attention to Zhao Qiao'e.
"Zhao Qiao'e, you beast! You are from the Zhao family too, and you are just letting your daughter humiliate your family? I will go back and tell my parents and ask them to take care of you!"
Zhao Qiao'e saw it clearly. If Tang'er hadn't pulled her back, Tian's slap would have landed on her face.
Originally, Tang'er was not at fault in this matter, but she simply couldn't muster up the courage to confront her two fierce sisters-in-law from her natal family.
She is the third child in the family, with two older brothers and a younger sister. She has never been favored at home.
If this really provokes my parents, I'm afraid I will just have to let them beat and scold me.
It was Wang Hongying who stood up.
"You, the Zhao family, are shameless. You stole Tang'er's jewelry first, and now you're turning the tables and saying that Tang'er stole your things. Those things originally belonged to Tang'er. Is it wrong for her to take her things back?"
Tian Cuiyun said fiercely, "Who are you? People who have nothing to do with my Zhao family should stop talking nonsense here!"
Wang Hongying replied directly, "Although I have nothing to do with the Zhao family, I am Tang'er's aunt, and Tang'er is a member of my Song family. I am qualified to speak out on this matter."
"How impressive! You're Tang'er's aunt." Tian Cuiyun imitated her with disdain on her face, then said viciously, "I think you're also planning on the bracelet on her hand, right? Stop pretending to be so noble."
Wang Hongying was so angry.
"Don't think that everyone is as shameless as you!" She turned to look at Song Yuntang, "Tang'er, don't believe her. Auntie has never thought of taking your things."
Song Yuntang nodded.
"Don't worry, Auntie. I know everything."
In the direction of the Zhao family, several people looked at each other, and seeing that Tian’s crying had no effect, they rushed towards Song Yuntang again.
The momentum was much more swift and violent than before.
"Song Yuntang, you have to return my bracelet to me today no matter what!" Zhao Xiaolan said.
The Song family members who reacted, except for the elderly Song Xingye, the old couple Lin, and Liu who was seven months pregnant, all rushed up to stop them.
"Brother and sister-in-law, let's talk it out." Song Jinbao said.
However, the Zhao family didn't want to talk to him nicely.
"There's nothing to say. Song Yuntang stole Lan'er's things. Since you parents don't care, we must take them back."
At this time, Song Yuntang had taken advantage of the chaos to approach Zhao Xiaotao, and when she was not paying attention, he reached out and pulled off the pair of pendants on her ears.
Zhao Xiaotao covered her ears and screamed in pain.
"My earrings!"
Song Yuntang held the earring in his hand.
"What? Your earrings? These are mine too!"
He turned and looked at the Zhao family.
"If you keep making trouble, I will report you to the police! I remember how many jewellery I brought from the Lin family and what they looked like. In the past few years, Zhao Xiaolan and Zhao Xiaotao have taken a lot of things from me. I'm sure the Zhao family can still find some of my things. If I file a complaint against you for theft, none of you will be able to escape!"
After hearing this, the Zhao family members calmed down.
Although those jewelries are valuable, it is not worth it to send an entire family to jail for money.
Especially since Song Yuntang’s man is a scholar.
They had heard a lot about him before. If they were to be reported to the county government, it would be hard to say whether they could get out alive.
"Cousin-in-law, are you going to let Song Yuntang snatch my things?" Zhao Xiaolan looked at Xu Qingye aggrievedly.
Xu Qingye looked indifferent.
"Tang'er said it very clearly just now. You stole her things first. She didn't report you to the county government, which was already the most righteous thing. If she had reported you to the county government, you would have been whipped, caned, sentenced to prison, or jailed..."
His voice was very soft, but every word seemed to hit Zhao Xiaolan's heart, making her unable to help but cover her chest and take two steps back.
"Do you think you can make it out alive?"
Seeing that her daughter was frightened, Liu Qiuyan hurried forward to support her.
"Xu Qingye, please speak properly. Look how scared you made our Lan'er. You are a scholar, but you don't know how to be gentle with women."
Xu Qingye calmly took Song Yuntang's hand.
"An outsider is not worthy of my pity."
Song Yuntang looked at him and smiled. She suddenly felt that it was good to have a man willing to protect her.
