Zhulan curled her mouth, these were the ancient survival rules, she integrated into the ancient times, so she clearly understands what was the most powerful counterattack. She and Zhou Shuren went to Fourth Wang’s family, he can play tricks, and even force her by involving Changzhi. Even if the matter was resolved, it would not be perfect, and people liked to chase after shadows.
But the meaning of the settlement within the clan was different, and Changzhi will no longer be involved.
Zhou Wang Shi changed into pure black clothes, combed her hair meticulously, and had a serious expression. Zhulan’s eyes flashed. The role of a patriarch was really not something ordinary people can do. Look, how the Patriarch knew how to deal with them before they came.
The four of them were not in a hurry to go to the Fourth Wang family. Wang Ru’s calculation not only angered Zhulan and Zhou Shuren but also angered the Zhou clan. The patriarch led the way and went to the homes of several other elders in the clan. The team had been upgraded to eight people, among the women, the wife of the patriarch and Zhulan were enough.
The door of Fourth Wang’s house was closed tightly, and there was light in the room from the gap in the door panel. Zhou Shuren stepped forward to knock on the door.
When Fourth Wang came out, the one who stood in the main room shouted at the door, “Who is it?”
Patriarch Zhou said coldly, “Open the door.”
Fourth Wang recognized the voice as he was familiar with it. He trembled in his heart, quickly rushing to open the main door. As soon as the door opened, his legs were shaking. Outside the door were several prominent figures in the village, among the most influential people. He stammered, “Y-you, why have you come here?”
Why bring so many people? What was wrong?
These words Fourth Wang didn’t dare to say, he was frightened because the face of the visitor was not good. His heart was in his throat, and his back was wet in an instant.
Patriarch Zhou looked down on Fourth Wang with disdain. In his eyes, Fourth Wang was not even comparable to Zhang Datie. Although Zhang Datie wasn’t openly respected, he was more genuine than Fourth Wang, who hypocritically covered up his shameful actions. Just the sight of Fourth Wang was enough to make him feel disgusted. Patriarch Zhou took confident strides toward the main hall, leaving Fourth Wang behind.
From the corner of her eyes, Zhulan saw figures on the windows of the houses on both sides, and she heard something.
Zhulan came to Fourth Wang’s house for the first time, the house was new, and the chairs in the room were new. On the table, there were two oil lamps, indicating that there was some money now. Thanks to Fourth Wang’s deceptive ways, he managed to acquire some wealth. There were plenty of chairs in the room, and Zhulan found a place to sit as well.
Fourth Wang kept talking to them, but he didn’t dare to get close, and the corners of his mouth trembled, “Patriarch Zhou, is there something important for you to bring so many elders here?”
Patriarch Zhou didn’t want to talk to Fourth Wang, but Zhulan wanted to talk, but it was a pity that the room was full of elders and she doesn’t have a place to intervene.
Zhou Shuren opened his mouth, “Call out your second and third daughters, and we’ll talk about it when they come.”
Wang Laosi’s heart skipped a beat, and his annoyed premonition came true, and he knew that it was Wang Ru and everyone with status in the Zhou family who had come. “Okay, okay, I’ll call those two beasts over.”
Zhulan: “……”
You curse the child as a beast, what are you yourself? An old beast? Quite fitting indeed!
Fourth Wang’s roar came from the yard, Zhulan frowned and quickly relaxed, after a while Fourth Wang pulled a girl in with one hand, and pushed hard, Wang Ru and the two fell to the ground.
Zhulan and the others frowned and looked down on Fourth Wang more and more in their hearts.
Fourth Wang hurriedly apologized, “Patriarch Zhou, I really don’t know what happened. I brought the two of them here. I have absolutely no problem with you beating or scolding them.”
Zhulan moved her eyes away, feeling a little disgusted.
Patriarch Zhou cursed inwardly and ignored Fourth Wang. He looked at Wang Erya, who was sitting on the ground in fear, and Wang Ru, who appeared nervous. Even though Wang Ru concealed it well, she couldn’t hide it from his sharp eyes. He could see the hatred in her eyes; this troublemaker was full of resentment.
Touching his tobacco pipe, he looked at Wang Ru and said, “Old lady, it’s your turn to speak!”
With a stern face and icy gaze, Patriarch’s wife Zhou Wang Shi spoke, “It shouldn’t have been my responsibility to say this, but both of you have disregarded the reputation and moral integrity of women, affecting the entire village’s honor. I had to step in to educate you both. Wang Ru, you engaged in improper relations with a man without the involvement of a matchmaker, engaging in inappropriate behavior that compromises your virtue. As for Wang Erya, you have been frivolous, lacking in propriety, righteousness, integrity, and modesty. From now on, I expect both of you to restrain yourselves and avoid being divorced due to issues of private morals after marriage.”
