Old Madam Ding cried as if the world was coming to an end, next to her Madam Ding cried without making a noise, seeing the mother and daughter like this the onlookers could not help but feel sorry for the two of them. At the same time, they were disgusted by the Lai family even more.
It was one of their family men who caused this woman to be divorced instead of taking responsibility for her, he was demanding a dowry as big as this one.
What made him so bold? Did he forget that it was him who touched and hugged this woman in front of everyone causing her to be divorced by her husband?
Fourth Lai had ruined the purity of this woman and yet he wanted to get two thousand taels of silver? This was simply robbing these poor farmers! From where would they get such a sum of money?
The Lai family was too shameless!
Old Madam Lai who rushed out with her sons and Second Madam Lai was so furious that she was about to faint. Who was the one who acting like shameless bandits here? She sent Fourth Lai with a matchmaker to the Ding house and asked Madam Ding's hand for marriage but the woman refused.
She told Fourth Lai that she wanted two thousand taels and as she was remarrying her mother could not bring out any dowry and asked Fourth Lai to take care of that as well.
According to Madam Ding, she could not be embarrassed anymore and as it was Fourth Lai who caused her to be divorced he needed to help her regain her pride by handing her a lot of things that she could bring as her dowry.
Of course, Fourth Lai refused saying that he would not take out two thousand taels much less dowry to Madam Ding.
When their family refused saying that the Lai family would not be taking out such a large sum of money, Madam Ding and her mother started to argue with them saying that it was them who ruined their lives and it was only right for them to take out an enormous dowry and help us regain their lost face.
Of course, the argument did not result in anything more, who would have thought that Madam Ding and her mother would come to their house and cause a ruckus like this?
As she spoke, she did not forget to hit and cry like she was about to faint. Her daughter told her that she needed to make sure that the Lai family's matter was known to others, otherwise if they coerced them later on they would not be able to do anything.
What was more she was not in the wrong. It was her daughter who was disrobed and then touched in front of many men, what kind of pride was she left with because of that man? Not only was she going to make the Lai family and her ex-son-in-law take out every penny but she would also make the temple take out a worthy compensation.
" It's not even the fault of my daughter! It's the fault of that temple! What kind of rotten security did they have that my daughter was ruined like this? How many men saw her body? Who can tell?"
" And her husband? Instead of helping her, he decisively divorced her. He was simply heartless! A big butcher like him actually acted like a coward! I have no words left for him, it's fine if he did not help my daughter but he even refused to take out the dowry that my daughter brought to his house, you tell me what are we supposed to do now?"
She not only dragged the Lai family but she also dragged the temple and the ex husband of Madam Ding causing another round of whispering to start, a few people indeed could not help but wonder. How was it possible for the security of the temple to be so lax? How could a man walk over to the women's area and even assault a woman?
The Lai family was getting impatient with all the accusations of Old Madam Ding. It was bad enough that they had to help this dirty woman inside their house but they also had to coax her, in case she continued to speak a bunch of nonsense then they would be ruined!
Old Madam Lai was furious, she wanted to ask her maid to drag Old Madam Ding to the shed and kill her but she could not do it not with everyone watching her every move. She could only help Old Madam Ding inside the house with a smile on her face while cursing the woman for being shameless and disgusting.
However, Old Madam Ding refused to move from her spot. No matter how much Old Madam Lai tried to pull her up, she shook her head and then cried, " We are not worthy of sitting at the fine couches of your family, Old Madam Lai. Please let us go. I only ask you to accept my daughter and give her a name, if she was left alone like this then even my soul will not be at rest after my death."
Madam Ding also sobbed as she said, " Mother leave it, if they don't want to give me a title then I will eat poison and die, my reputation is already ruined and I have become a divorced woman, with such reputation no one would be willing to marry me."
As she spoke she deliberately showed the ambiguous marks on her body, after all, Fourth Lai was a man who was schemed against by a woman how could he sit still? He went to look for Madam Ding and bullied her. He even hit her several times but Madam Ding did not resist as she knew that the better the beating, the better would be the sympathy of those who would watch her later on.
When the onlookers saw the marks on Madam Ding's body, they could not help but click their tongues. Sure enough, the Lai family was not a good thing!
