Chapter 195: Liu Dabao, the fox borrowing the power of the tiger

The Zhao family's yard was not small. Now many people came to the yard in groups. At a glance, there were at least thirty or forty people. There were also people outside the door. Because the wall of the yard was only one person high, many people lay on the wall. When Su Zhi looked up, she saw a row of dark heads on the wall. She was startled when she saw it, and then she didn't know whether to laugh or cry in her heart. She thought that the villagers at this time really loved to watch the excitement.

Because of the big incident between the Zhao and Liu families the day before yesterday, everyone in the village knew about it. Yesterday, the two families had another incident, which frightened the head of the village and all the respected people in the village. In the end, they were separated with great difficulty and agreed to discuss it today. Everyone in the village knew about it, so naturally they all came to watch the fun. They also wanted to know how much money the Liu family would pay to the Zhao family in the end.

No matter when, hurting other people's descendants is a taboo. The Liu family is the wrong party this time, so they should pay compensation. If the Zhao family asks for ten taels of silver, many people will think they are not kind.

The weather was very good today. The sun had risen high in the sky and it was warm. People gathered at the Zhao family, chatting and watching the excitement. Of course, these were only the people standing in and outside the yard. The people sitting inside the house all had stern faces. The Liu family and the Zhao family stood on each side. The Liu family had a look of fearlessness on their faces. The Zhao family had angry faces. The head of the village and the four old men sitting in the middle also had stern faces.

"Hey! Zhao family, Liu family, since you invited us here today, please stop fighting and scolding. Let's get to the bottom of this matter as soon as possible so as not to delay our work. The spring ploughing season is coming soon, so don't keep delaying it because of this matter. Besides, your two families are still relatives, and no matter how big the matter is, it can be settled privately. You won't become enemies."

Seeing that the two families were silent, the village chief opened the door. He first tried to mediate the situation. He wanted them to calm down their anger so that they would not quarrel again. He wanted them to think about the pros and cons first.

The four old men also nodded in agreement, and the Liu and Zhao families could only stand by in silence.

"Liu Damu, this time it was your family that took the blame, causing the Zhao family's daughter-in-law to have a miscarriage and give birth three months early. Fortunately, nothing happened. If something had happened, your family would have committed a great sin! Although Zhang and her child are safe now, Zhang and the child have also suffered physical injuries. You must pay some money. Yawen Love"

The village head continued to talk. In his heart, he disliked both families, but when compared, he was more on the side of the Zhao family. After all, the Zhao family was the victim this time, and the Liu family was too indifferent to their niece Liu Si Niang. This was originally someone else's family affair, and he couldn't intervene. But when he saw Liu Si Niang just now, he saw that the girl who was once pretty now looked thin and pale, so he naturally didn't like the Liu family.

Zhao Damu said, "What the village head said is true. My wife and my daughter-in-law are indeed at fault this time, and our two families are relatives. We have a good relationship, so we will naturally compensate. But the Zhao family is too much. They actually want us to pay ten taels of silver. We agree to this. We will give at most five hundred coins."

Yang said, "These five hundred coins can buy several dozen pounds of pork and several hundred eggs. Even if you buy some old hens to make soup, they can last for several months. By then, both adults and children can be fat and white. It's a lot!"

A chubby woman at the side said, "That's right. When I gave birth to my daughter, I didn't even have a few chickens to eat, not to mention eggs. One a day was good enough, and I only had them until I was out of confinement. That's just a few coins. Now my sister-in-law is a rich lady compared to me! What else is there to be dissatisfied about? If you are still dissatisfied, then God will not be able to tolerate it."

Su Zhi looked at the woman and saw that she called Zhang "sister-in-law". She also saw that she was standing next to a young man who looked very similar to Liu Damu. She thought that man must be Liu Dabao. Is this Liu Dabao's wife? She thought to herself that the Liu family seemed to have a good life. It was rare to see such a fat daughter-in-law in the countryside.

"Daughter-in-law Dabao! What are you talking about? What do you mean God can't stand it? Are you cursing my daughter-in-law?"

Zhao Yang glared at Dabao's wife unhappily. She became unhappy when she heard people say that five hundred coins was a lot.

Liu Dabao pulled his wife and said in a rough voice: "Aunt, my wife is right. Five hundred coins are really not a small amount. Think about it carefully. If you accept the five hundred coins, we are still good relatives and you are still my aunt. If you really want the ten taels of silver, then you are really going to drive our family to death. This is not something that can be done between relatives!"

Zhao Yuanbao said, "Dabao, don't be so scary. Are you going to die for ten taels of silver? My aunt and Wu Niang caused my wife to give birth prematurely, and almost killed two people. How do you account for this? Now you want to get rid of them for five hundred coins. Is this something that relatives can do?"

"My mother and my sister didn't do it on purpose! I heard that it was Lianhua who scolded my sister first. If she hadn't done it, would she have hit your wife? This matter can't be blamed entirely on our family!"

"Your mother pushed Lotus even though she knew my wife was standing there. She did it on purpose!"

"Who asked your wife to stand there? She won't hide!"

Dabao's wife interrupted again. She had only given birth to a girl after being married for several years, and she hated Zhang for giving birth to a son. Now she felt bad for asking her family to pay five hundred coins, so her tone was naturally sour. She thought that the Zhao family was dreaming about wanting ten taels of silver, and it would be best if they had a fight and then lost the five hundred coins.

"The room is so small, where can she hide? You lazy woman, you were pregnant with a girl and you stayed in bed and said you were too slow, now you're saying my daughter-in-law is running away, aren't you afraid of being slapped in the face!"

Zhao Yang scolded Dabao's wife.

Yang said, "How can one compare to another? Yuanbao's wife can run to her sister's house with her baby in her arms to watch the fun and feast. Our daughter-in-law can't compare to her!"

Zhao Yang glared at Yang and said, "What time was that? Her belly wasn't even noticeable at that time! But the day before yesterday, she had a big belly! You think other people's daughters-in-law are like your lazy woman who stays in bed every day after just two months! My daughter-in-law is a hardworking person! Besides, they have a good relationship. My daughter-in-law's family built a house, and it's only right for her to go and see it. Doesn't your daughter-in-law go back to her parents' home every few days? The whole village knows this. Half of your Liu family's wealth was earned by your daughter-in-law from her parents' home, right? Otherwise, with your sharp temper, how could you tolerate such a lazy and fat woman?! Humph, you told me this!"

When Dabao's wife heard this, she glared at Yang, and then pinched Liu Dabao hard. She was not good-looking and was fat, and she was able to marry into the Liu family because of her large dowry. She also lived a very comfortable life in the Liu family. She knew all this, but did not want others to say so.

Liu Dabao groaned as he was pinched, but he couldn't get angry at his wife, so he glared at Zhao Yang fiercely.

When Zhao Yang saw Liu Dabao glaring at her, she felt a little scared. She knew that this nephew was a bully and quite unreasonable, and her son was no match for him, so she immediately grabbed Shen Zian.

"Son-in-law! Look at this brat glaring at me. He wants to hit my aunt. Stop him! You can kill a tiger. Stop him now."

Shen Zian was standing aside. He thought that what he had to do today was to watch from the side. If a fight really broke out, he would just protect the Zhao family. Now Zhao Yang was pulling him, and he didn't think Liu Dabao was going to take action, but since his mother-in-law called him, he also looked up at Liu Dabao.

"Don't worry, mother-in-law. No one dares to touch you when I'm here. Even if I'm not here and someone dares to touch you, just tell me and I won't let him go."

Liu Dabao went back to his parents' home with his wife the day before yesterday, and didn't see Shen Zian. However, he heard people say that Shen Zian was handsome and could kill a tiger, so he was still a little unconvinced. When he saw him today, he felt that although Shen Zian was not as strong as if he could kill a tiger with one punch, his heart was chilled when he looked at him. He unconsciously thought of the great general in the opera, and was really afraid of Shen Zian.

"Brother-in-law, don't listen to aunt's nonsense. I don't want to hit her. We came here today to settle this matter, but ten taels of silver is absolutely not acceptable. You seem to be a sensible person, so don't listen to aunt's words."

Liu Dabao thought that Shen Zian was only the son-in-law of the Zhao family, and Zhao Xiaomei was married off by her parents. Shen Zian must still be dissatisfied with the Zhao family. Moreover, Shen Zian looked like a rich man, so he didn't want to compete with Shen Zian. So he spoke politely.

Shen Zian glanced at him and said, "Since you want to understand, then you should be more polite. After all, my mother-in-law is also your aunt, so you'd better not glare at me."

Liu Dabao did not refute, but just responded.

Shen Zian gently pulled Zhao Yang's hand and let her go, saying, "Mother-in-law, you guys continue, he won't do anything to you."

Zhao Yang saw Liu Dabao being so polite to Shen Zian, and saw others wanted to continue to hold Shen Zian, but Su Zhi came over and pulled Shen Zian aside, and looked at her, so she couldn't hold Shen Zian. But she would not miss this opportunity to take advantage of the power of the tiger. She called her daughter and son-in-law back to borrow their reputation to strengthen her own power, so she immediately praised Shen Zian and Shen Zian's brothers and sisters, just to let people know how much weight her son-in-law's words carried, thinking that as long as Shen Zian said that she wanted ten taels, others would definitely think it was not much.
