Chapter 215: Making Trouble
Li Erniu's verdict came out quickly.
On the afternoon of the second day after the incident, the process of Li Erniu's crime and her crimes were posted on the government bulletin board. The final sentence was beheading in the autumn.
Li Taohua only found out about this matter when she heard the diners discussing it.
"I heard that the government went to the countryside to dig up the bodies of the guilty woman's mother-in-law, re-examined the crime scene, and interrogated the guilty woman. They heard her confess her crime in person before making the judgment."
"Didn't they say that all this was caused by the death of her husband? How did her husband die?"
"Her husband was a farmhand of the Xia family. He was on his way to collect debts for his master when he met robbers. The robbers robbed him of the money he had collected and also killed him."
"So you're working for your boss. The Xia family is big and powerful, so why don't you give them some compensation?"
"What compensation? The whole family is dead. The only surviving grandson is missing. I don't know if he was killed by his mother or ran away."
Li Taohua returned to the counter and said to Tang Dafu, who was getting a glass of wine, "The verdict on Li Erniu has been announced. She will be executed in the autumn."
"Finally, we don't have to worry about this crazy woman coming out to hurt our family members." Tang Dafu said, "This is a good thing, wife."
"It's a good thing for us, but it's not a good thing for the villagers. The village chief originally wanted to suppress this matter and didn't want the village's reputation to be affected any further. Now the government has gone there and posted the notice of Li Erniu's verdict, so the things that were previously concealed can no longer be covered up."
"That has nothing to do with us. We just did what we had to do. If Li Erniu hadn't caused us any trouble, we wouldn't have killed her, right? In the end, she deserved it."
"Don't worry, Mom. Our family is the victim. No matter who judges this matter, it cannot be blamed on us." Qin Huiyin said.
"That's true." Li Taohua's brows relaxed. "Besides, our family is not a pushover. If anyone wants to cause trouble for us, they have to ask us if we agree or not."
Suddenly there was a sound of quarreling.
Hearing this voice, Li Taohua put her hands on her hips and said, "I just said that my family is not a soft persimmon, and now someone comes to cause trouble? I want to see who dares to come to my territory to cause trouble."
Qin Huiyin followed Li Taohua.
Tang Dafu quickly handed the wine to the waiter and said, "This is what the guest at table three ordered. Send it over quickly."
After saying that, he chased after her and followed closely beside his wife.
"I'm your boss's brother-in-law. We're a family, don't you understand? Do we need to pay for meals together?" Deng Gui said arrogantly, his hands on his hips. "If you don't believe me, call your boss out and ask him."
"It's impossible for our boss to have a brother-in-law."
"How is it impossible? Isn't your boss Tang Dafu? I am his brother-in-law."
"I was wondering who it was. Turns out it's you, a scabby guy." Li Taohua asked the people in front of her to make way and squeezed into the crowd.
Deng Gui restrained his arrogance when he saw Li Taohua, and raised his smug face: "Sister-in-law, you don't even care about the servants in your family, and you even ask relatives for money. You are crazy about money! Relatives come to take care of the business, so you should give them more good things, right?"
"First of all, they are not my servants and have not sold themselves to us. Secondly, I am not the boss here, and my husband is even less so. You want to take advantage of us without even asking who the boss here is," Li Taohua said sarcastically.
"Your whole family is here, how could you not be the boss here? Which boss is so nice to invite your whole family here to support them?" Deng Gui obviously didn't believe it.
"Who is your boss?" Li Taohua asked the waiter next to her.
"Last name: Xia."
"Did you hear that? Their boss's surname is Xia." Li Taohua said, "Although we are not the boss here, if a relative really comes, it is no problem to treat him to a meal. However, if that person is you, you won't even give him a bite of the leftovers. Get out now, and we will pretend we didn't see you. If you don't get out..."
Li Taohua slapped her hands.
Several tall men came over and clenched their fists towards Deng Gui.
Deng Gui's face looked grim, but facing so many tall men, he didn't dare to offend them directly.
He rolled his eyes, sat down on the ground, and muttered loudly: "Ouch, my friend hit me, and my legs suddenly became paralyzed..."
Qin Huiyin said to the waiter next to her.
The guy nodded and turned to leave.
Not long after, he came over with a bunch of thin needles and shouted, "Make way, make way, I have needles here, I can give him acupuncture, as long as we fill them all up, we can cure him."
When Deng Gui saw the needles, his scalp went numb. He stopped pretending to be injured or sick and just got up and ran away.
Li Taohua put her hands on her hips and cursed, "Shameless scabby, why are you running? It won't be too late to run away after we have stabbed you full of needles! Anyway, these needles won't kill you. We'll wait until you become a hedgehog and see if you still behave."
"Now that Deng Gui has come to the city, he will definitely go to look for his aunt and cousin." Tang Luwu said, "Is there nothing wrong with his cousin and aunt?"
"I have reminded Shaoyao before that she follows the county magistrate all day long. The county magistrate is playful and it is impossible for her to stay at home. But my aunt is helping in the kitchen, so as long as she doesn't want to go out, the county government office is her safest haven."
After Deng Gui ran out of Sisters Chuanchuanxiang, he cursed: "Is it a big deal to be rich? You don't even recognize your relatives."
Deng Gui heard that Tang Dafu and his friends were doing business in the city. After entering the city, he asked someone and soon found out their location, so he wanted to take advantage of them.
Now that he hadn't taken advantage of her, he could only go find his good daughter who worked in the county government. He couldn't take advantage of his relatives, but his own daughter couldn't possibly ignore him, right?
"Where did this unruly person come from? Do you think you can enter the county government office just because you want to?" The gatekeeper stopped Deng Gui outside.
"My daughter is the eldest maidservant of the county magistrate's son. Gentlemen, please be kind and let me go in to find my daughter." Deng Gui showed his goodwill with a lecherous face.
"This is the county government office, not your village. Don't say that your daughter is the eldest maidservant of the young master. Even if she is the eldest maidservant of the master, you can't come in and out as you please."
Deng Gui wanted to say more, but when he saw a carriage driving out of the gate of the county government office, and the person in the carriage was none other than Deng Shaoyao, the money-loser whom Deng Gui had been beating and scolding for ten years, he hurriedly chased after it.
"Wait... stop..." Deng Gui ran after the carriage.
Deng Shaoyao heard the sound, lifted the curtain, took a look, and frowned.
"What's wrong, Sister Shaoyao?" asked the girl who was dressed like Deng Shaoyao.
"The one running after the carriage is my father." Deng Shaoyao smiled bitterly, "He's here to ask me for money."
"So he is the wicked father who sold your two sisters and beat and scolded you and your mother all day long!" the maid said, "Don't be afraid, I will help you vent your anger and make him never dare to look for you again."
