Chapter 72: Go home and call for backup!
The other hand didn't forget to pull her hair. It was too painful, and the chubby girl couldn't help but beg for mercy.
"Let go of me, let go of me, please, I didn't want to come either. It was Yuan Lang's parents who incited me to come."
Yuan Jiaqi watched Qiao Mai not losing in the fight and didn't step forward to stop it. When he heard this sentence, he walked over.
"Wife, let her go, let's hear what she has to say."
Qiao Mai, who was grabbing her hair, pushed the chubby girl onto the snow with force.
"Speak, who told you to come?"
The chubby girl sat on the ground, wiping her tears. Her makeup was ruined, and her hair was scattered. The servant girl hurriedly picked up the hairpins from the ground and slowly helped her up.
"It was Yuan Lang's parents."
"What did they say? Let everyone hear and be a witness."
"They said you stole Yuan Lang and told me to come and settle the score with you."
"Who said that? If parents-in-law and parents-in-law argue and move hands, what does it have to do with us? When they can't move anymore, can they still crawl to the government office? Even if they go to the government office, it's considered accidental injury between parents-in-law, and the Town Chief won't meddle in family affairs. In the end, it will be left unsettled."
Qiao Mai didn't return to the space at night. She and Ling'er slept on the warm kang.
Xinghua Village is closest to Tiannan Town. These two old things not only didn't return the money but also incited her to come and cause trouble. This account must be settled.
"Know, but your parents took the benefits from my family, and even if things went wrong, they didn't return the silver."
As for the woman from the Qiao family, find an opportunity to clean her up; can't be beaten for nothing.
None of the sons were around; they were all in their respective rooms.
They thought they could take anyone's money. Today, she must find those two old goods, get the money back, and beat them up severely. Otherwise, this resentment won't be vented.
Qiao Mai glared and leaned over to grab her hair, scaring the chubby girl into backing up two steps.
Her stomach wasn't very good; it was congenital, so she always ate small meals frequently. From birth to now, she hadn't been sick, which was the result of Qiao Mai taking care of her carefully.
"Can it work?"
Qiao Mai smiled. "I don't even put a grasshopper in my eyes."
"Yuan Lang, I know you don't like her. Look, she's not even as good-looking as me. Why not leave her family and come to mine? I guarantee I'll treat you and the children well."
"A grasshopper is small, but a bite is also very painful. Don't underestimate any enemy. Sometimes the more insignificant the person, the more they can hurt the people you care about."
"On the second day of the New Year, let's go back to the Yue family together. At that time, we must ask the Yue family to come forward and help."
Qiao Mai's eyes narrowed. She came here to live an ordinary life. She didn't want to take the step of killing someone right now.
"Rest assured, nothing big will happen. With so many of us, the Town Chief can't punish us all."
"After dividing the money, we'll build a house and move out, letting them retire here. By then, I'll discuss with the second, third, and fourth brothers to take turns sending them food."
"Can it work? What if they sue us?"
The eldest daughter-in-law widened her eyes. "That's the crime of great unfilial piety, which means going to jail?"
The people outside all dispersed. The chubby girl walked out of the alley angrily, got into her carriage, and left.
"Feeling like my heart is jumping up and down."
She had heard from her father that this Town Chief wasn't simple. Coming here today, she knew it was unreasonable, and even if she suffered a loss, she could only swallow her teeth and swallow them into her stomach.
"The Yuan family isn't just wearing me down. The Yuan brothers also can't stand their wearing down. I believe they will soon make a scene to separate the family. At that time, he won't have the energy to find trouble with me."
In the eldest son's room, a woman whispered:
"Child's father, this life can't be lived. It's fine if Father and Mother are greedy, but they shouldn't keep money that shouldn't be taken. Knowing they can't afford to offend people, they still hold on to it and don't let go, offending people and making it like this. In the end, isn't it still returning the money to others and getting a beating for nothing? I really don't know what they are planning."
After saying this, she pulled Qiao Mai's hand back to the courtyard and bolted the courtyard gate.
"Where I live, they also told you?"
Yuan Jiaqi held Qiao Mai. "This young lady, please go back quickly, don't think about anything else. My wife and I will never separate in this life."
On the twenty-seventh of the twelfth lunar month, Yuan Jiaqi took the children and cleaned the house thoroughly.
At the same time, in the Yuan family in Xinghua Village, everything was smashed to pieces. Yuan Xushi was sitting on the kang crying, and Yuan Laohan was sitting on a low stool smoking a dry pipe.
They didn't rest after lunch, roasting five pots of peanuts and five pots of melon seeds. Seeing there was still time, they boiled two pots of fruit candy and made more than twenty catties of sugar cubes.
"Yes, I'm sorry, I've caused you trouble."
"What did you say to them?"
But in Tiannan Town, her family is a bully there; no one dares to bully her.
"Know, but you and Mother secretly eating meat at night, what is that?"
At night, too tired to cook, they heated some steamed buns and drank some rice soup.
"If Father and Mother insist on forcing us to death, then we won't be polite either. Everyone will come on the day of separation. If soft doesn't work, then come hard. If Father and Mother insist on not agreeing, don't blame us for not being polite. If we accidentally hurt them when we start fighting..."
She had to get back the anger she suffered here. Go home and call for backup!
"If the old ones can't move anymore, everything else is not a problem, right?"
Yuan Jiaqi was burning fire and filling firewood in front of the kitchen stove. "The Yuan family won't take long before it falls apart. I ask Lady Qiao to bear with it for this period of time."
The eldest son's eyes flashed with firm and ruthless light.
"Guess, if the Qiao family treated me like this, what would I do?"
Since then, Qiao Mai has gained another enemy.
The three children took excellent care of Ling'er. Ling'er also liked the three brothers, eating whatever they fed her, not crying or making a fuss, and smiling when she saw her brothers, which made the three brothers so happy that they didn't know how to treat her well enough.
Ling'er, who was over ten months old, besides being able to eat egg custard, could also drink porridge and eat some boiled noodles that were a bit softer.
"Hopefully, the family can be separated. Then who will support Father and Mother?"
The chubby girl, who was scared by the hair pulling, said everything out when Yuan Jiaqi asked.
Qiao Mai ignored him, washed her hands in the kitchen, and continued to make her sugar-roasted chestnuts.
Deal with it when it can't be dealt with. Don't look at Yuan Jiaqi saying this; his parents forced him to marry into the family, and he didn't take action. Why is she in such a hurry?
Qiao Mai let go of his hand, glared at Yuan Jiaqi, and his face turned red.
"How to help?"
"Then go find them. If nothing else, go to the government office to sue them. I've already severed ties with them and have no relationship at all. It's useless for you to come to me."
This girl didn't dare to come to Tianshui Town to make trouble, not because she was afraid of Qiao Mai, but because she was afraid of the Town Chief here.
"I don't know you, and I'm a married man with a child. How did this marriage come about?"
"More than trouble."
"Then don't you know I'm already a member of the Qiao family?"
"It was your parents who found a matchmaker to come to my house and praised you like a flower, so I was moved. They brought me to see you secretly once."
"Yes, I knew where you lived before when you lived over there. They also brought me here, so once they said it, I knew where you lived."
All morning, she roasted ten pots of sugar-roasted chestnuts, left a small basin for the children, and put the rest in jars, sealed them, and put them in the warehouse. Actually, they were all in her space.
"What's more, it's a death anyway, might as well fight. In any case, you must be united and not be foolishly filial anymore. You must come hard. I won't say much more; I believe big brother should understand."
Yuan Jiaqi's eldest son was being ruthless in the room. Ever since he came back from Yuan Jiaqi's place, he had been pondering this matter.
Being manipulated by the old ones for decades, it really takes great determination to resist. Under the threat of life, foolish filial piety seems insignificant.
He had secretly discussed it with his three brothers, and they were all as miserable as he was, so they understood as soon as he said it.
