Chapter 38 Negotiation
Wang Yaozu was almost driven crazy by Liu Xiaoru. He remembered in a daze that the reason for everything seemed to be because my mother insisted on bullying the two noisy children to establish her authority.
He shouldn't think that my mother was embarrassed outside and sent Liu Xiaoru to bring her back.
Now it's better, my mother has been tortured to death, and my daughter-in-law, who has always been the old scalper of this family, is also making trouble for the whole family.
Seeing that Liu Xiaoru had started to grab him, and seemed to be dragging him to see the officials and sue the clan leader, he gave up on the spot and said: "Madam, if you have something to say, please speak it out. If you are angry, just tell me. We, mother and son, have made mistakes, and we can correct them. Don’t say these words that hurt the relationship between husband and wife.”
There are many people who like to meddle in other people's business. Even though Wang Yaozu still carries the bad reputation of "mother-child incest" and "unfilial piety", seeing him bowing his head to his wife, some meddlesome people immediately came out and said: "Ms. Wang, your husband already knows his fault." Well, just stop making trouble, it won’t be a big deal after all.”
The troublemaker didn't know that after Liu Xiaoru went crazy, it was as if she had opened up the Ren and Du channels, and she retorted on the spot: "You think this is not a big deal, are you not clear with your mother? Or are you saying that? Is **** between mother and child normal in your family?”
No one would be happy to be splashed with such dirty water. The meddlesome person scolded: "You are a tricky woman and your words are harsh. No wonder your husband's family can't tolerate you!"
Liu Xiaoru picked up a broom and hit him: "Not only am I mean with my words, but my actions are also mean. You and Wang Yaozu are both the same, and they must be messing around a lot!"
The good guy is just a scholar, and his fighting ability is on par with Wang Yaozu, so he is no match for Liu Xiaoru.
Zhang Yuniang, who was watching the excitement in the crowd, looked at the center of attention: Liu Xiaoru with a dazed look on her face.
Zhang Yunniang didn’t expect Liu Xiaoru to be so aggressive! I still don't know how it will end.
Gu Mingda, who was standing beside her and covering Niuniu's ears with his palms, suddenly came over and said, "You protect Niuniu, I'll go help."
Zhang Yunniang's eyes lit up and she looked at Gu Mingda with trusting eyes.
Gu Mingda nodded lightly, handed the child to his wife, and then blended into the crowd of onlookers while the people around him were not paying attention. He looked completely different from Zhang Yunniang.
Wang Yaozu, who was in the center of the battlefield, was watching Liu Xiaoru chasing and beating others. He was relieved and felt that he would be beaten less, but he also understood that if Liu Xiaoru could not calm down, this matter would not be over yet.
Wang Yaozu's mind was spinning crazily, and now Liu Xiaoru was acting like crazy and refused to listen to his explanation. The more anxious he became, the less he could think of a solution. When he was worried, he suddenly heard a man's voice not far away.
"With this situation, this couple has finally reached an end. Why hasn't Wang Yaozu figured it out yet? Instead of watching his wife struggle to the end, it would be better to simply reconcile with her and give her a dowry, so that they can get back together easily. Disperse." After saying this, Gu Mingda disappeared into the crowd.
When Wang Yaozu heard this, his eyes lit up, and he looked over to see who was speaking, but he only saw the crowd joining in the fun, and could not tell who was talking at all.
When Wang Yaozu was first beaten, he actually thought about finding an opportunity to kill Liu Xiaoru, but there were so many people who saw this scene today. If Liu Xiaoru was really dead, everyone would doubt him immediately.
More importantly, after being beaten by Liu Xiaoru, Wang Yaozu felt a little unconfident, and he was also afraid that he would not be able to kill Liu Xiaoru.
But Wang Yaozu felt heartbroken when he was really given a dowry, and because of a man's pride, marrying his ex-wife made him feel very useless.
When he was hesitating, Liu Xiaoru drove the talkative busybody to another yard like a dog. She came back with a broom like a victorious general returning to court. When she saw Wang Yaozu The moment Mrs. Wang dared to stand, Liu Xiaoru immediately glared and hit her again with the broom. "I have read books about saints and sages for so many years, but you do such nonsense every day. I am not worthy of your husband!" Liu Xiaoru scolded Wang Yaozu.
"You scold me every day for not being able to have a child. How can I sleep without your son in my bed every day? If you can, give him a baby!" Liu Xiaoru scolded Mrs. Wang like this.
Seeing Liu Xiaoru scolding him more and more, his teacher was involved. Now he is still in Fucheng, surrounded by strangers. If he returns to his hometown, he will not be able to survive in the local area at all.
He didn't dare to hesitate any longer and shouted, "Let's make peace and I'll give you a dowry! Can you find a good family to marry?"
Liu Xiaoru didn't expect that she could achieve her wish so quickly.
Wang Yaozu gritted his teeth and said: "You said we drove you crazy, then find another husband-in-law who won't drive you crazy! From now on, we will go to different sides!"
Liu Xiaoru put away the broom, turned around and immediately looked at Niuniu and Zhang Yunniang in the crowd.
Zhang Yunniang stepped out from the crowd and said in a loud voice: "Wang Tongsheng, you are living a confused life. It is naturally very good if you are willing to let my sister He Li remarry. But you can't interfere with when and who you will remarry. , and the amount of dowry you want to pay my sister must be agreed upon by the two of you."
Afraid that Wang Yaozu was not clear-headed, Zhang Yunniang threatened again and again: "If you don't agree to this, then my sister will still go to the official and the clan."
Wang Yaozu stared at her fiercely, feeling that Zhang Yunniang was the culprit who caused the unrest in his family. He gritted his teeth and said, "If you want the lion to open its mouth, I won't agree."
Gu Mingda walked slowly to Zhang Yunniang's side and looked back at Wang Yaozu threateningly.
This negotiation with Li was led by Zhang Yuniang. After Zhang Yuniang carefully asked Liu Xiaoru how much she had spent supporting Wang Yaozu over the years, she came up with a figure that made Wang Yaozu anxious.
"Fifty taels of silver, why don't you go and grab it! You are too dark-hearted!" Wang Yaozu cursed.
Before Zhang Yuniang opened her mouth, Liu Xiaoru picked up the broom as if to hit her, and scolded Wang Yaozu: "Why are you talking to my sister! Try talking like that again!"
Wang Yaozu was so frightened that he shrank his neck, but his words to Zhang Yunniang were quite polite.
Zhang Yuniang said again: "You also know that you are robbing. These years, you have relied on your daughter-in-law to support your family. She does embroidery day and night, earning your old Wang family more than fifty taels of silver."
After hearing this, Wang Yaozu immediately realized his loss, but he was really reluctant to part with the fifty taels of silver. He could only plead in a low voice: "Can it be less, ten taels of silver? I am from a poor family and I really can't afford that much money."
Liu Xiaoru wanted to compromise, but Zhang Yunniang said firmly: "If you are not willing to pay, I will ask my husband to write a complaint, accusing you mother and son of immorality and deceitful marriage!"
