Chapter 40 Go to the Liu Family to Ask for an Explanation
After receiving the silver, Aunt Li asked her son Dashan to go to Qian's parents' home to report the news that night.
Wang held her grandson in her arms for a while and then gave him to Qian to feed.
After the room was cleared, Cao Wu immediately stayed by his wife and children's side.
Wang found Chunxi and said, "The Liu family said they would come and cause trouble. If you don't want your sister-in-law and nephew to be in turmoil because of you, come with me to the Liu family tomorrow and make amends."
After much thought, Wang still felt that Wei Lingze was the most reliable.
Wei Lingze went to such great lengths to hide Chunxi, which shows how much he loves Chunxi. He wants to keep Chunxi by his side forever, so naturally he will take good care of them.
Chunxi rarely disagreed with Wang and said obediently, "Okay."
"Are you willing to apologize?"
Chunxi was too straightforward, which made Wang feel uneasy.
She has suffered losses at Chunxi's hands several times.
This was how I wrote the certificate before, how I agreed to meet Zhou Qin, and how I drugged him on the pretext of his birthday that day.
Wang looked at Chunxi in surprise and doubt. Chunxi asked, "If I say I don't want to, mother won't ask me to apologize?"
Of course not.
Wei Lingze is behind the Liu family, how can they afford to offend him?
Wang kept comforting herself, saying that no matter what tricks Chunxi played, as long as she went to Liu's house, everything would be fine.
Early the next morning, Wang killed a chicken and asked Cao Wu to stew it for Qian to nourish her body in the evening. She changed her clothes before taking Chunxi out. However, as soon as they reached the entrance of the alley, they saw her father-in-law and mother-in-law walking towards them with a group of people with murderous intent.
These people were holding hoes and rakes, and were no different from bandits.
Wang's temples were throbbing.
She hadn't sent them any message yet, so why were they here?
Just as they were thinking about it, the other party also discovered them and immediately ran over to surround them.
"Wang Guiqiu, you vicious woman! My daughter hasn't had a single happy day since she married into your family. Yet, you allowed your son to beat her until she went into premature labor, and you even refused to call a doctor for her. You're trying to kill my daughter twice!"
The Qian family was originally tenant farmers on a farm outside the city. Qian's father was good at socializing and was promoted to manager two years ago. Qian's mother's already aggressive personality became even more aggressive.
She took the initiative to accuse Wang, and then spat at Wang.
Such a loud noise attracted passers-by and residents in the alley to come out and watch the fun.
Wang was confused and angry. She glared at Qian's mother and said, "Are you crazy? My eldest son and his wife have a very good relationship. When has he ever laid a finger on her?"
Cao Wu loved his daughter-in-law so much that not only did he beat Qian, but even his mother-in-law Wang didn't set any rules for Qian!
Wang was very confident and just as they were about to fight, Chunxi spoke softly, "Sister-in-law has given birth, both mother and child are safe. Auntie can bring someone to see them at home."
Qian's mother immediately took her two sons to Cao's house. Qian had just finished feeding her baby in the room. When she saw her mother and two younger brothers, she couldn't help crying.
Qian's mother started to cry, but she kept saying, "You just gave birth to a child, you can't cry. If you have been wronged, just tell me and I will take care of it for you."
Qian quickly said, "My mother-in-law and Brother Wu have been very kind to me. When I gave birth yesterday, my sister bought me a hundred-year-old ginseng and hired a doctor from Huichuntang."
Hearing this, Qian's mother relaxed her expression, comforted Qian a few more words, and took her son back to the alley.
"My daughter is indeed fine, and my little grandson is very cute."
After receiving a positive answer, the anger on everyone's faces dissipated. Wang was about to burst into a curse when she heard Chunxi say, "I was the one who asked my uncle and aunt to come. Although my eldest brother and mother have never treated my eldest sister-in-law harshly, someone did come to our house yesterday and smashed things, which caused my eldest sister-in-law to start a fight early."
The words that were about to come out of her mouth got stuck in her throat. Wang turned her head and glared at Chunxi, shaking with anger.
She knew that this damn girl wouldn't be so obedient!
Mother Qian didn't care what Wang was thinking. When she heard someone had come to her house to cause trouble and almost killed her daughter and grandson, she immediately pointed at Wang's nose and cursed: "Mr. Wang, you are so capable in front of me, aren't you? Why did you let someone come to your house to make trouble? Your daughter-in-law and grandson were almost in trouble, and you just let it go like this?"
In the past three years, Chunxi's monthly salary has increased, and she has taken home more money. Wang always shows off in front of Qian's mother. Now that Wang has finally found her fault, Qian's mother will naturally not let it go easily.
Wang wanted to curse back, but she couldn't open her mouth.
She couldn't say that she wanted to sell her daughter, and ended up getting into trouble and implicated her daughter-in-law and grandson, right?
Wang was too embarrassed to say that Chunxi had. She briefly explained the marriage proposal with the Liu family and concluded, "I saved Lord Shen of Jingzhao Prefecture, and Lord Shen has promised to make the decision on my behalf. The Liu family was not in the right, so they didn't dare to confront me in front of Lord Shen. They only dared to come to my house to cause trouble."
Although Chunxi said that she had a backer, everyone still felt that it was wrong for her to run away from the marriage.
Moreover, the Liu family gave Wang Shi five hundred taels as a betrothal gift, which was worthy of a young lady from an official family. What else could she be dissatisfied with?
If Chunxi is willing to continue this marriage, the five hundred taels of silver will be in Wang's hands, and as relatives, they might also be able to benefit from it.
Mother Qian thought for a moment and tried to persuade Chunxi. Chunxi had anticipated their reaction and spoke first, "Whether this marriage is successful or not is entirely my business. I absolutely shouldn't implicate my sister-in-law and nephew. The Liu family is acting this way simply because they have a few dirty bucks. Since you, uncle and aunt, are here, why don't you come with me to the Liu family and ask for an explanation?"
Chunxi's words were powerful and resonant. Those who followed Mr. and Mrs. Qian were all impatient and easily instigated. They couldn't help but get excited when they heard his words.
The Liu family is just a small tung oil merchant, but they can come up with so much money. I wonder how many shameful things they have done behind the scenes.
They have long been fed up with these unscrupulous businessmen.
What’s the big deal about having some dirty money? Beat him up!
After all, Mr. Qian is now the manager of the farm. He frowned and hesitated.
Cao Wu was his son-in-law. His father died early and Cao Wen was just a child. It was not a big deal for him to beat Cao Wu to vent his anger for his daughter, but it would be hard to say if he beat someone else.
If he had known the situation would be like this, he would not have called so many people.
Father Qian glanced at Chunxi, feeling as though he were being schemed against by the little girl. Chunxi met his gaze without flinching and said, "Premature birth has an impact on both my sister-in-law and my nephew's health. If it weren't for my sister-in-law's good health, we might have both died today. It's me who owes the Liu family, not my sister-in-law. Don't my uncle and aunt want the Liu family to compensate my sister-in-law and nephew for their recovery?"
Mr. and Mrs. Qian looked at each other and saw the determination in each other's eyes.
Yes, it was Chunxi who was wrong, what does it have to do with their daughter?
If Wang Guiqiu doesn't feel sorry for their daughter, they should feel sorry for her.
Otherwise, with so many eyes watching, if they don't even take care of their own daughter, how can they take care of others when they return to the farm?
Father Qian immediately ordered: "Let's go to the Liu family and ask for an explanation!"
