Before he could refuse, the other party asked:
Where is my eldest daughter?
Uh, Xue Pan felt a little guilty. He couldn't very well say that he had just been about to sell Da Niu to a brothel, but then she disappeared...
"Father, my brother-in-law is badly injured. Perhaps my eldest sister went to buy medicine?"
Taking advantage of the situation, Da Shi helped his brother-in-law tidy up the messy house.
Xue Pan was now unable to move and could only nod awkwardly, feeling guilty and not daring to look at his father-in-law.
I thought to myself, I'll keep it a secret as long as I can.
While tidying up the house, Da Shi finally found his eldest sister's indenture. After a cold laugh, he folded it up and hid it on his person.
After obtaining the indenture, comes the divorce agreement.
He pretended to boil water and secretly poured the medicine powder his aunt had given him into the pot...
Wu Dalang, on the other hand, kept asking Xue Pan how he and his wife had been doing all these years, whether they had any grandchildren, and so on.
Xue Pan pretended to be dead and didn't dare to utter a sound.
Despite his previous beatings and verbal abuse of Da Niu, and even his impulse to sell her, don't be fooled by his actions.
That's because he can manipulate her at will. Without her family backing her up, he's got her under his thumb and has her completely under his control!
But now, Da Niu has just run away, and her family has already come looking for her. Could it be that they're here to avenge Da Niu?
It doesn't seem like it. The two of them are dressed poorly, and they look like they're not doing well. There's no reason for them to cause trouble for him over a married daughter.
However, one should always be wary of others; if these two, father and son, were to turn against him, he wouldn't take it lying down.
"Dad, the meat porridge is here. I'll feed my brother-in-law first, otherwise my sister will be heartbroken to see him still hungry when she gets back."
Da Shi arrived carrying a bowl of meat porridge, the aroma of which filled the air.
Upon smelling the aroma, Xue Pan felt incredibly hungry and couldn't help but lick his lips.
However, his wariness remained, so he struggled to speak ingratiatingly:
"Brother-in-law, give this bowl of porridge to your father-in-law and give me a new bowl."
"Hey, Dad, why are you making such a face? Your brother-in-law is worried about you."
Da Shi smiled and handed the meat porridge to his father, indicating that his father should not disappoint his brother-in-law's good intentions.
"Hmph, you're just being nosy."
Wu Dalang pretended to be unhappy, but still accepted the meat porridge, greedily sniffed the aroma, and drank it in big gulps.
He kept shouting as he drank:
"It smells so good! Is there any more in the pot? I'd like another bowl. It's been so long since I've had such delicious meat congee!"
"There's not much left in the pot, let me serve my brother-in-law a bowl first."
Da Shi seemed unable to resist the fragrance either, taking a deep sniff before reluctantly leaving the house.
Xue Pan's stomach was already rumbling. He thought to himself, "My father-in-law drank it, so it seems like it wasn't poisoned!"
"Gurgle gurgle~"
He picked up the bowl of meat porridge without hesitation and drank it. It was hot, but he didn't care. A person who has been hungry for a long time doesn't care about being hot!
"Is there any more? I'd like to drink more."
Xue Pan was very selfish; he wanted more after finishing his drink, without considering that his brother-in-law hadn't even had a sip yet.
However, in his mind, his brother-in-law probably sipped some of the porridge while it was cooking...
"There's just a little bit left, I'll serve it to my brother-in-law."
Da Shi appeared pleased, but inwardly he scoffed, "Drink up, drink your fill before you set off!"
After finishing his second bowl of meat porridge, Xue Pan let out a satisfied burp, and then started ordering Da Shi around like he would order Da Niu around:
"Go boil some water, I want to take a bath~"
Okay~
"Hey, father-in-law, you can't just eat at my house for free. You should wash my dirty clothes."
"......."
"Father-in-law, why are you glaring at me? If you want to come to me for help, you have to obey my orders. If I tell you to go east, then don't go—"
Ahhh~
Suddenly, Xue Pan realized that he couldn't make a sound.
"Son, close the gate."
"kindness."
His brother-in-law, who had been kind to him, suddenly changed his attitude.
Xue Pan was terrified. Oh no, he had fallen into a trap!
However, I felt completely drained, even experiencing a drowsy urge...
Wu Dalang took out a sharp dagger from his bundle, which he had bought a few days ago when he passed by a shop.
He used a whetstone along the way, sharpening his knife to an extremely fine point.
A man who had only ever helped villagers slaughter pigs his entire life, today, for the sake of his poor daughter, personally ripped open the blankets of the man who was supposed to be his son-in-law, and with a single stab, blood flowed freely...
That thing that represents a man, it's completely broken.
Of course, he only wanted to cripple the other person, not kill them.
When his son handed him the wound medicine, Wu Dalang calmly poured the entire bottle of powder onto it...
ah--
The intense pain caused Xue Pan to break out in a cold sweat.
Even when unconscious, he couldn't help but convulse.
"Father, this is still too lenient on him."
Da Shi slowly took out his sister's indenture from his bosom, then took out the divorce papers he had written long ago from his bundle. After thinking about it, he realized that his sister had suffered so much bullying over the years and almost lost her life, but he had only ruined his "brother-in-law's" manhood, which was a bit of a loss.
"Um?"
Wu Dalang was stunned for a moment, then handed the dagger to his son, telling him that no one should die, and that nothing else mattered.
Da Shi would never dirty his hands or dishonor his family's reputation because of such a person.
On his way here, for more than ten days, he thought about it day and night, racking his brains about how to take revenge!
He bought five or six bottles of wound medicine, enough for him!
A moment later, Da Shi wiped the blood off the dagger and put it away. Then, he disdainfully picked up his "brother-in-law's" soft hand, used it as a makeshift tool, stained it with blood, and pressed his fingerprint onto the two divorce papers.
He hid one copy in the property deed, and naturally treasured the other.
The father and son worked together seamlessly, using up all the wound medicine and then smearing the room with dog blood. After making some alterations, they cleaned up all traces of their presence and then leisurely left the Xue family home...
After changing his clothes and disguising himself again on the way, and making sure he left no trace, he finally made his way home on New Year's Eve...
Jiang Yue felt very relieved. Originally, she had suggested the idea, but she was worried that her uncle would not dare to do it.
Now it seems she was overthinking it!
Upon hearing this, the three brothers, Qingshan and his brother, felt a surge of satisfaction and a sense of vindication!
I don't think my uncle and his son did anything wrong at all. Paying back debts is a matter of course!
Similarly, what we owe Sister Da Niu should be repaid!
Even the youngest, Yao Yao, had a look of great satisfaction on her face.
Jiang Yue couldn't help but hug her daughter, pinch her puffed-up cheeks, and coax her in a low voice to go back to her room and go to sleep.
"Chicken noodle soup is here!"
Da Xue hadn't heard the specific details, and when she arrived and found the atmosphere very cheerful, she assumed it was a family reunion where everyone was happy, so she laughed along...
"Da Shi, eat it while it's hot! Auntie will give you some lucky money when she goes back inside!"
"Oh? No need, I'm all grown up now, I can't take any New Year's money anymore."
"Sit down and eat your noodles. You must not refuse a gift from an elder!"
Jiang Yue said forcefully, then turned and went back into the house to wrap the New Year's money.
Da Shi grinned foolishly. After enduring so much wind and rain, it wasn't easy to get a hot meal. His first hot meal back home was unexpectedly at his aunt's house. What a treat!
