Chapter 198 of The Farmer's Spring Field: She Wants to Get Money, but She's Still So Evil
Chapter 198: To get the money, the greedy heart is still there
Liu Wuniang frowned and said, "Fourth sister, it's really wrong for you to do this. Considering that we are sisters, you should hurry up and stop making mistakes."
Su Zhi thought this family was really good at acting. She glanced at Liu Si Niang and thought that she had helped her to call the head of the village and the elders of the village, and the next thing was her own business.
Liu Si Niang walked to the front of the village head, bowed slightly to the head and the four village elders, and said, "Excuse me, head and the four village elders. I knew that this matter today would cause trouble to you, so I kept you here."
The village head said, "Si Niang, you also grew up in our Liushu Village, and I watched you grow up. If you have anything to say, just tell me. I just heard you say that you want your uncle and aunt to return your father's house and land to you. Is this why you want us to stay?"
Liu Si Niang nodded and said, "It is precisely because of this matter, Li Zheng."
The oldest village elder said, "Si Niang, your uncle and aunt said they have given you the money. Do you want to buy back the land and house now? We can only talk to them, but we cannot make the decision for them."
The other three village elders also said so. They all watched Liu Si Niang grow up, so they naturally didn't think there was anything wrong with her returning as a married woman. After all, these days, even if a foreigner came to the village, as long as he bought a house, paid the settlement fee, and then went to the government to register, he could live in Liushu Village. Moreover, Liu Si Niang was originally a girl from Liushu Village.
Liu Si Niang said, "Li Zheng, several village elders, I don't want to buy back my parents' house and land. I want to get back my parents' house and land. My uncle didn't give me the money he owed me back then."
"You're talking nonsense!"
When Liu Damu heard what Liu Si Niang said, he immediately called out and glared at her. He did not give the money to Liu Si Niang, and the IOU was stolen and destroyed by Zhao Yang. Liu Si Niang also told them about it, but they scared her back. Unexpectedly, a few years later, Liu Si Niang told them about it again after the divorce. He was not afraid, after all, the IOU was gone. But if Liu Si Niang told them, his reputation would still be bad, so he glared at Liu Si Niang.
Yang also shouted, pointing at Liu Si Niang and said, "Si Niang, Si Niang! You must not be so heartless! Just now we were thinking of seeking justice for you, but you couldn't plot against your in-laws, but you plotted against us! Your conscience has been eaten by a dog! We gave you the money a long time ago, but you took it to your in-laws. Now that you have spent all the money and been driven out by your in-laws, you are plotting against us again. Do you think we are easy to bully?"
"Yeah, you said we didn't give you the money, why don't you show us the IOU! If you can't show it, you're just talking nonsense. Don't think we should pity you just because you divorced us. We can't tolerate your slander!"
Liu Wuniang said that she didn't want her house and land to be taken away by others. If they did, she would have no place to live alone. Not to mention that she would get more dowry when she got married.
Those people outside who were watching the excitement were also shouting at Liu Si Niang to hand over the IOU. They didn't want to force Liu Si Niang, they just wanted to watch the excitement.
The head of the village and the four village elders all frowned. They felt that Liu Siniang was not the kind of person who would slander others casually. Instead, they all believed that Liu Damu might really not have given the money to Liu Siniang. But when they saw that they wanted Liu Siniang to take out the IOU, they thought that it seemed that this family was sure that Liu Siniang did not have the IOU, so Liu Siniang would not be able to get the house and land back at all, and her reputation would definitely be even worse.
"Fourth Lady. Do you have the IOU? If not, it will be difficult to handle."
"Li Zheng, I have an IOU."
Liu Si Niang thought, as expected, her uncle's family is still as cruel as they were more than three years ago. When she asked them for the IOU, they acted as if they didn't have it. In the end, they didn't even give her the money. They are still like this now. They were so affectionate to her just now, just to get more benefits from her. Since they are like this, she must get back what belongs to her.
Liu Si Niang took out the IOU she had collected and handed it to the head of the village.
Dabao's wife said: "This must be fake!"
Liu Si Niang said, "Li Zheng, this IOU was written by you and several village elders together. You must recognize it, it is not a fake."
The head of the village looked at the IOU, nodded, and said, "This is indeed the IOU from that year."
The four village elders also looked at it and said, "Indeed, this IOU is the same one as that year." One of the village elders said, "I wrote this IOU myself, I would not have made a mistake. I accidentally dropped a drop of ink on the corner of this paper, look, the drop of ink is still here."
"Yes, yes, it is still there."
The people watching the excitement outside were all boiling like boiling water, saying that Liu Damu really didn't give his niece the money to buy the house and land. They said they did, and asked her to show the IOU. It was obvious that they thought Liu Si Niang didn't have the IOU, but now she showed it, what was going on?
An upright village elder asked Liu Siniang, "Liu Siniang, what's going on? Your uncle said he had given you the money and confirmed that you didn't have the IOU. But how come you have the IOU now?"
Before Liu Si Niang could say anything, Liu Wu Niang shouted, pointing at Liu Si Niang and said, "Well, Liu Si Niang, you are the one who suffered. My parents gave you the money, and you tore up the IOU in front of them. It turns out that you didn't tear up this one! You liar! You are so bad! Li Zheng, village elders, you can't let such a bad person stay in Liushu Village! She is simply here to discredit our Liushu Village!"
When the Liu family heard this, they all echoed Liu Wuniang's words.
Su Zhi got angry when she heard this. She really underestimated Liu Wu Niang. This little girl was really mean. She had already falsely accused Liu Si Niang in such a short time! She would not let her get her wish!
"Lizhang, village elders, Si Niang is definitely not that kind of person. Think about it, when she repays a debt, she always gets the IOU in one hand and the money in the other. How could she give the money without seeing the IOU? What Wu Niang said is totally unreasonable. Moreover, how could a man like Uncle Liu not call other witnesses to prove that he paid the money back when he gave it to his niece? That was twenty-five taels of silver, not a small amount. I don't believe that Uncle Liu didn't think of this."
The village head and several others nodded, thinking that what Su Zhi said made sense.
Liu Damu said: "I trusted Si Niang, but I never thought she was so cunning!!"
Su Zhi laughed and said, "Back then you said you had no money, but you returned it to Si Niang so quickly. How did you get these twenty-five taels of silver in such a short time?"
Liu Damu's face turned red and his neck became thick. After a long while, he said, "Don't worry about it. Anyway, I paid it back."
Su Zhi said, "You said you'd paid it back, but Si Niang still isn't done. Now the IOU is in Si Niang's hands, so you should hand over the money. Otherwise, we can go to the government and talk about it. I think as long as you have this IOU, you will lose anyway. Otherwise, you should explain the origin of the 25 taels of silver. Maybe others will say that you got the money by dishonorable means."
Liu Si Niang looked at Liu Damu who was speechless and said, "Uncle, you said that I tore up the IOU and that I cheated you, but everyone here knows that the IOU should be handed over to the debtor. If it is not handed over to the other party, it will be destroyed, which means that the money is automatically not wanted. How could I do such a thing? Originally, I didn't want to tell you what you did in front of so many people, but now that you have thrown dirty water on me, I will not keep it a secret for you."
Liu Si Niang told the story of how her IOU was stolen and she suspected it was her uncle's family, so she went to ask them for it, but was threatened. She also explained why she never returned to Liushu Village in these years.
"If you had given me that money back then, how could I have gone to the Zhao family with such a shabby dowry? Why have I been looked down upon by the Zhao family over the years? All of this is caused by you!"
"Liu Damu, what you did this time was really unkind!"
The upright village elder spoke rudely to Liu Damu, the head of the village and several other village elders were also scolding them. The villagers outside listened and looked at the Liu family with contempt. They all knew that the amount of dowry could determine a woman's status in her husband's family. If Liu Si Niang had that 25 taels of dowry, she might have lived a good life in the Zhao family and would not have ended up in her current situation.
Although the Liu family still said that they were wronged, the IOU was with Liu Siniang. The head of the village and the village elders asked them to return the house and land to Liu Siniang, or give her twenty-five taels of silver.
Finally, the Liu family had no choice but to agree to give the money under the pressure of the head of the village and the village elders, and under the threat of Liu Si Niang that she would sue the officials if they didn't give it.
The Liu family did not have twenty-five taels of silver, and in the end they only took out five taels, saying that they did not want the two acres of land.
The two acres of land were inferior fields, and the Liu family felt that they were not very good, so they gave them up.
Liu Si Niang entrusted the two acres of land to the head of the village and asked him to help sell it, and the head of the village agreed.
The Liu family left angrily amidst the laughter of the villagers. Before leaving, they glared at Liu Si Niang fiercely, completely losing their previous affectionate attitude, not to mention letting her go home to live. However, Dabao's wife was still thinking about it, thinking that it didn't matter if the money was given away, she would get it back anyway! And she would never let Liu Si Niang have an easy time!
It was already noon. Su Zhiliu, the head of the village, and several village elders were having dinner at home. Several people declined, but the Zhao family said they wanted to give their baby a bath on the third day of his birth. As a result, most of the people who were watching the excitement outside left at once.
The Zhao family finished bathing the baby, and then quickly cooked and invited Shen Zian and others to eat. After dinner, Q
