Chapter 208 Another Three Thousand
"Really?" An Zhixia smiled faintly, "Then I have to ask my father how much he sold me for! Get out of the way," she said as she walked towards the An family.
The group of people made way for a small path, and when An Zhixia was about to reach the door, a black claw stretched out towards her buttocks.
Without waiting for An Zhixia to turn around, An Zhiqiu had already strode over and exerted a little force with his hand. There was a click, followed by Kang Youzhu's heart-wrenching scream that reached the sky.
"Zhu Zi!" Mrs. Kang and Mrs. Kang ran over distressed, lifted the drooping arm, and shouted at An Zhiqiu: "I #%@%, Kang Da, Fu Zi, Qiang Zi, why are you still standing there? Beat this bastard to death, do you think there is no one in our Kang family?"
As soon as they finished speaking, Kang Da Ge and Fu Zi rushed towards An Zhiqiu, waving their fists like wild bulls. Qi Guoqiang hesitated, but thought about how An Zhiqiu had not been that strong before. He had been beaten up countless times by his men. It was impossible for him to become so invincible after just one year of absence. It must be because he was not prepared before that he was defeated by him. Now, the three of them were still no match for An Zhiqiu!
Thinking of this, he clenched his fists and joined in.
The women pulled their children back one after another, with gloating and smug expressions on their faces, "I advise you to accept this marriage as soon as possible to avoid a big sin, but you still have to accept it with a pinch of your nose.
Fuzi, break one of his arms for me too!"
An Zhiqiu sneered, without any fear on his face. When Kang Da came to him, he turned his body to the side, gave him a push on the back with his elbow, and then hooked his calf upward with his foot.
The man rushed straight towards the door sill without any struggle, hitting the bridge of his nose. The sharp pain made the strong man curl up, covering his nose, with tears and blood flowing down.
Kang Youfu followed closely behind, and because An Zhiqiu moved too fast, he had no time to stop his momentum, and was hit on the arm, his body tilted, and his head hit the door frame. The door frame was sharp and angular, comparable to a blunt knife, and it opened a heavenly eye in his forehead, and blood instantly flowed all over his face.
Qi Guoqiang had just raised his fist and took a step forward, but when he saw this, his scalp tingled and he stood still, silently retracting his hands and feet.
"Oh, someone's been beaten to death! An Zhiqiu killed someone!" The women were stunned, and then they began to pounce on the two people huddled on the ground, howling at the top of their lungs in a completely unoriginal manner.
But the effect was obvious. Neighbors rushed into the yard, and were stunned when they saw the blood all over the ground. They looked at An Zhiqiu with anger and fear.
"Scream, keep on screaming," An Zhixia said coldly, "If it's not enough, let's call the police station and let the professionals take a look. Was it really my brother who did it? They were clearly trying to hit my brother, and he just dodged. Who made them want to beat him to death? He was so impulsive that he couldn't stop and hit the threshold and door frame?"
When everyone took a look, it was true. Although there seemed to be a lot of blood, it was actually only flowing from Brother Kang's nose and Kang Youfu's forehead. There were no bruises or swellings on other parts of their bodies, and there were not even any footprints on their bodies.
Come to think of it, apart from their own collisions, how could a skinny young man like An Zhiqiu beat two farmhands? Besides, there was a Tongba watching. Everyone automatically ignored the last time Qi Guoqiang was pinned down by An Zhiqiu, after all, Qi Guoqiang's identity as Tongba was deeply rooted in everyone's mind.
"Then, that Zhu's wrist was crushed by your brother!" Mrs. Kang lifted Kang Youzhu's arm, and the drooping hand was swinging in the air. The man's grinning look was very horrifying, making everyone's scalp tingle, and they shuddered as if they could empathize with him.
"It's just a dislocation," An Zhixia sneered, "He dared to stretch out his wolf claws to female comrades, and it's good enough that he was not sent to the police station to be shot. What, does your Kang family specialize in producing exiles?
How many young girls and wives in our alley must have suffered and cried in their quilts at night? You are so bold as to do evil in broad daylight! "
"You, you are talking nonsense!" Mrs. Kang shuddered, and immediately said viciously: "If it is true, do you, a little girl, dare to say it out loud? Everyone, please judge for us, this girl has been engaged to our Zhuzi for a long time, and I still have their marriage contract. In the end, she became a little apprentice and no longer recognizes this marriage!
Now, in order to avoid paying the debt, she even falsely accuses our honest and simple Zhuzi of doing something to her.
They accepted three thousand yuan as a betrothal gift from us to settle down in the An family. All our family savings are here. You city people can’t be so shameless as to deny it!”
"Mr. Kang," said Mrs. Kang, who came out from the back seat, with a cold face, "Just because you say something doesn't mean it's true. Three thousand yuan, even if you sell your whole family, it won't be enough. How dare you say that? Besides, this is New Xiahua, and the old-fashioned way of parents' orders and matchmakers' words is not acceptable. You will be arrested and criticized if you do that!"
"Anyway, anyway, we have a marriage contract!" Mrs. Kang said as she took out a wrinkled, yellowed paper from her arms and asked Qi Guoqiang to hold it and show it in front of everyone.
People in the city know a few words, although they may not recognize all of them, but they still recognize key words such as three thousand yuan, settling down, and marriage.
"The paper is old, but the ink marks are new," Grandma Kang didn't wait for An Zhixia to speak before explaining to everyone, "The best black ink will never fade, so formal contracts are usually written in black ink. However, black ink is a bit expensive, and everyone is used to using blue ink. This blue ink will fade over time, and everyone with school-age children at home should know this, but did the handwriting you just saw show any signs of fading?
Apparently, this marriage contract was written in the last month, and the An siblings only came once, but the Kang family was not there at that time. Therefore, this marriage contract is fake, and the three thousand betrothal gifts were fabricated for the An siblings' mother's pension and their jobs!"
Although Grandma Kang is usually low-key and doesn't like to interact with others, she has a convincing quality.
Everyone whispered and nodded in agreement. The paper was so old, but the handwriting looked as if it had just been written. Judging from the Kang family's nature of taking things for free, they must have heard that the An siblings had found jobs after returning from the second day of the Chinese New Year, so they wanted to kill three birds with one stone: they could get An's mother's pension, marry a beautiful daughter-in-law without spending a penny, and also find a job for their son. It was really a perfect idea!
"Anyway, this marriage contract was signed by An Zhiping. You An family took three thousand yuan from us, so you have to pay it back," the skinny and short old lady Kang Jia said with a gloomy face, "Our eldest brother and Fuzi were standing there quietly, but they were pushed and bloodied by the brat An Zhiqiu. They must also compensate us!"
