Seeing the panicked looks of Shu Guozhong and Xiao Qifeng, Shu Jiaying knew that her words had resolved the crisis. She no longer paid attention to the entanglement between Shu Guozhong and his wife and Grandma Xu. She sat down on a chair and ate dinner as if no one was around, because she was really hungry.
Village chief Xu, who was standing by, wanted to make the matter smaller. Even though Shu Guozhong and his wife kept apologizing, Granny Xu still held them back and refused to let them go.
Finally, after the three of them bargained, the loyal man of Shu State reluctantly paid twenty coins to Grandma Xu, and the couple were able to walk out of the Xu family's gate safely.
As soon as he returned home, Shu Guozhong angrily yelled at Ke's eldest wife.
"Mom, please come out quickly. I'm really pissed off at you today. It's all your bad advice. If you hadn't asked me to take my wife to the Xu family, how could I have paid twenty cents in compensation?"
When she heard that her son had paid compensation, Mrs. Ke, who had been lying in her room after eating, immediately ran out.
Pulling Shu Guozhong's sleeve, Ke asked anxiously, "Son, what did you say? You went to the Xu family safely, how could you possibly pay twenty cents?"
The other hand grabbed Xiao Qifeng again.
"Tell me, what's going on? I asked you to go to the Xu family and exchange Ugly for her. If Village Chief Xu didn't exchange her, you could just make up an excuse and say they were having an affair to threaten them. Why did you come back with Guozhong? Shouldn't you be working for Ugly at the Xu family now?"
It would have been better if Mrs. Ke hadn't mentioned this matter. As soon as she did, Shu Guozhong became angry again.
"You are the one to blame for this! Who gave you the idea to frame Xu Wentao and the ugly guy? The Xu family used this as evidence to take Qifeng and me to the government. Think about it, Xu Wentao is the head of Guangming Village. If we were really sent to the government, I would have to pay more than twenty coins for the false accusation. I might even get a beating after paying the money.
I'm a man, I can handle dozens of beatings, but Qifeng is different. Our Shu family's legacy depends on her, how can she handle a beating?"
If Xiao Qifeng was beaten, Mrs. Ke would not feel anything. After all, this woman had been married to her family for three years, and in these three years she had not even laid an egg. Keeping her at home would be a waste of food.
Mrs. Ke was still thinking of finding an excuse to drive Xiao Qifeng out, and then find a good daughter for her son.
But if the county magistrate wants to beat Shu Guozhong at the yamen, wouldn’t Ke be heartbroken?
Although I wasted twenty cents, fortunately my son came back safe and sound.
Pulling out a worn purse from her pocket, Mrs. Ke counted out twenty coins and handed them to Shu Guozhong. She said with hatred, "It was my carelessness that harmed you. Take these twenty coins. I'll take it as a lesson learned. However, people will meet by chance, and I don't believe Xu Wentao can keep this ugly girl in his house forever.
Okay! Xu Wentao blames us for framing him and the ugly guy. We won't talk about this anymore. We'll let the village ladies handle it. Then we'll see how many people he can arrest and bring to the government office.
Even if Xu Wentao succeeds in accusing these people, what then? I don't believe he won't offend the entire village with this incident!
As long as they are rejected by the entire village, huh... Do Xu Wentao and his mother still want to gain a foothold in Guangming Village?
I'll cut off my head and let them kick it like a ball!"
"Mom, what do you mean..."
After waving his hand, Shu Guozhong and Xiao Qifeng immediately bent over and came close to Mrs. Ke.
Ke immediately whispered something into the ears of the two men.
After hearing what Ke said, Shu Guozhong and Xiao Qifeng nodded at the same time.
