Chapter 267 Marrying a Daughter (11)
Chapter 267 Marrying a Daughter (11)
It's not possible to be sure. Mr. Chang from Heshan was standing there with a smile on his face and cold eyes. It was obvious that he was very dissatisfied with them.
Looking around, apart from Heshan who had a grudge against them, there was also the Zhou family with whom they had just made enemies. The couple knew that they could not confront them head-on, and their faces twitched for a while, then they left with harsh words and ran away in shame.
As soon as they ran away, the Zhou family also panicked. They didn't expect that she would be so cruel to her own parents. The previous excitement was gone, and they secretly cursed her to die a bad death in their hearts.
He Shan didn't bother to care what they were thinking. He sighed at the backs of the Liu couple leaving, looked at the three people, and said with a pout, "I'm starving. Do you want to starve me to death by not cooking? I'm going to be angry!"
Zhou Dawei and Zhou Min looked at Zhou's mother silently, the meaning was self-evident. Just calm her down first, she has been crazy enough today!
After Zhou's mother went to work, Heshan did not let the father and son sit idle, as someone had to clean up the mess in the yard.
The family of three were ordered around and dared not say a word. Zhou Dawei supported his lower back and looked at them with resentment from behind.
"Dad..." Zhou Min whispered with an unpleasant expression, "Why don't you let the Liu family take her away?" When he said this, he was full of resentment. If that bitch had gone away, he wouldn't have to work under her oppression now.
Zhou Dawei's expression was even uglier than his. He glared at him and wanted to say something but was afraid that his son would lose his temper, so he comforted him, "Just watch, I won't let her have an easy time!"
Inside the house, Zhuzhu came out like a ghost and looked at Heshan who was lying comfortably on the bed after exercise.
"My lord, I think Zhou Dawei has bad intentions. He actually wants to keep you in the Zhou family."
Heshan waved his hand and said, "It's just a little Karami, nothing to worry about."
She was not stupid, so she naturally sensed Zhou Dawei's ill intentions. It just so happened that the two of them could compete to see who was more ruthless, ha ha ha ha ha ha ~~~
Because of the "real" force, Heshan turned the tables in the Zhou family, beat the local rich man, and forced the Zhou family to serve her. Washing clothes, cooking, serving tea and water were the basic elements of survival for the three people in the Zhou family. Don't want to? Ask her gentle and fluttering fists if she agrees.
The three of them were very unconvinced, thinking that they could not defeat her, so they called on their friends in the village to deal with her. The villagers were enthusiastic and were disgusted when they heard about Heshan's disobedient behavior. They promised the Zhou family:
"Don't worry, Lao Zhou. We will definitely teach her a lesson. In the past, such a woman would have been divorced and punished by family law. It's only because times have changed that she was spared. What an ungrateful person!"
"Yes, you disrespectful and unfilial bastard, call someone to check it out immediately. You dare to show off in the Zhou family, you are tired of living!"
"Old Zhou, you are not good enough. Sister Wang, you are no good either. How come you can't even discipline your daughter-in-law? You just eat for free every day. Humph."
There were both men and women who came to help. They sighed over the plight of the three members of the Zhou family, and secretly felt disdain for it. They thought that three strong men and women were useless as they couldn't even take care of a young wife.
Zhou Dawei wanted everyone's help. He would just quietly remember the occasional contempt shown by others in his heart, and express gratitude on the surface. He thought that once he caught the person and made her behave herself, he would get rid of her and then secretly retaliate against these people who were talking without any hesitation.
"Yes, yes, yes. Alas, I'm sorry to trouble you all." He looked very worried, as if he had suffered a great injustice.
At his father's signal, Zhou Min also bowed and thanked everyone, and he gave out flattering words without asking for any money.
Therefore, at noon that day, Heshan did not wait for lunch, but instead waited for a large group of villagers who criticized her. When they saw her, they rushed over like mice seeing an oil lamp, with their fingers raised high and accusing her angrily.
Heshan rolled his eyes secretly and sat there listening calmly, listening in one ear and out the other. After a lot of effort, he finally got a chance to speak.
She acted helpless and looked at the three members of the Zhou family awkwardly: "Don't get excited, I have my own difficulties too."
Everyone sneered in surprise: "How can a daughter-in-law dare to fight with her own parents-in-law?"
"If you can't give us a clear answer, we won't agree. We have to ask the temple for help!"
Asking the ancestral hall is another old custom in the village, which is specifically used to criticize women. Women who are "unfaithful to women" and "disobedient" are dragged to the clan ancestral hall and asked for divination to decide whether to punish them. The methods of punishment include beating with a whipping board, pricking with needles, immersing in a pig cage, confinement, wearing red embroidered shoes, shaving the head, and torture, etc., which are cruel and brutal.
Heshan's pupils suddenly became dark, and before she could react, Zhou Dawei jumped out.
"no!"
Seeing everyone looking at him, he restrained his expression awkwardly and said reluctantly: "After all, she is my daughter-in-law, it has not come to that step, it has not come to that step"
At this time, Zhou Dawei didn't expect that they would bring up the Wen Temple. It was not his intention to kill Heshan.
He Shan was so moved that he retracted his eager hands, looked at Zhou Dawei gratefully, and said loudly: "I know that you are a kind-hearted person! So you should pay the compensation for the poisoning to the uncles!"
Everyone was stunned. There was a family member who had been poisoned at the last banquet among the crowd, and he was very surprised to hear this.
The three Zhou family members looked very unhappy. "You..."
"I know you have three thousand dollars, right at the base of the wall of the main house!"
Everyone was shocked: "..."
How much? Did they hear correctly? Three thousand instead of three hundred?
Zhou Dawei couldn't believe it: I saved your life and this is how you repay me?!
He Shan sighed and continued, "I know that my uncles and aunts have suffered from the poisoning at the last banquet. They are weak and achy all over. From now on, they can't do heavy work."
"Thinking that my uncles and aunts had a hard life, I persuaded my parents to take out the money to compensate you. At that time, the responsibility letter also wrote it and put my fingerprints on it, but my parents and Zhou Min didn't want to do it, so I...ah..."
Everyone's face changed and they looked at the three people from the Zhou family with unclear eyes.
The Zhou family never thought that she actually knew the family's financial situation, let alone that she would reveal all the family's savings and demand compensation? !
Fuck you!
Compensation shit!
The three of them looked at Heshan with gnashing teeth, wishing they could tear him to pieces on the spot. Zhou Dawei extremely regretted jumping out to stop her from asking about the ancestral temple. This bitch deserved to be skinned alive!
Damn bitch!
"What are you talking about, you little bitch! Where did our family get the money from!" It's impossible for us to compensate even if we have it!
"Ahem, I didn't expect Sister Liu to be so kind."
Some of the poisoned victims' family members couldn't help but speak up, and their addresses became gentler. It was obvious that Heshan's move won his heart.
There was more than one family poisoned as victims. The rest of the people looked at each other and were unwilling to miss this opportunity. Their fathers/uncles/sons had suffered and were now lying at home, unable to do any work. This was the Zhou family's responsibility.
During this period they also went to the Zhou family to ask for an explanation, but they didn't get anything good. They thought that everyone was equally poor and really couldn't pay anything back, but they didn't expect that the Zhou family had been doing something big without making any noise and actually had so much savings.
They are not afraid that this is false. Heshan said it with great confidence. Now everything is in Zhou's house. If they really know whether it exists or not, they can just go inside and take a look. Anyway, they have reasons and evidence. The letter of responsibility is kept in their house, so they are very confident.
Seeing that everyone couldn't help looking inside, Zhou Dawei became anxious: "You can't listen to her nonsense, she is deliberately diverting your attention!"
"Besides, what is a letter of responsibility? I don't know what it is!"
Heshan smiled and explained in a gentle voice, which shocked Zhou's mother and she opened her mouth wide. How could she not know about this?
Zhou Dawei closed his eyes tightly and opened them again, looking at Zhou's mother gloomily, "You don't even know such an important thing? !"
Zhou's mother shuddered. How could she have expected Heshan to do this? Who could cheat his own family like this?
As for the large sum of money, the couple was also confused and didn't understand how she knew this. Did she know more...
Even Zhou Min didn't know that there was so much money at home. He felt elated for a moment when he heard the number of three thousand yuan, but then he heard everyone clamoring to look for the money, and his heart skipped a beat.
This is my money!
His face flushed and he wanted to reach out to stop it, but was stopped by Zhou Dawei. He looked very ugly. It was meaningless to argue now. The money was there and no one would listen to him when there was interest. He could only obey and save it.
"Don't worry, everyone. I have already thought about this matter in my mind. I did intend to compensate you all, but I didn't expect my daughter-in-law to say it first."
Everyone was excited. They had never seen such a huge sum of money as 3,000 yuan in their lives. Now they couldn't wait to go in and take a look. When they heard Zhou Dawei's words, they said anxiously, "Brother Zhou, don't dawdle. Hurry up!"
In fact, everyone knows that the Zhou family has no intention of paying compensation. They know the whole story very well and feel very uncomfortable about it. This is really thanks to his daughter-in-law, otherwise the victims would still be kept in the dark.
Thinking of this, everyone looked at Heshan with admiration. This daughter-in-law of the Zhou family is really good.
Zhou Dawei was aware of everyone's dissatisfaction with him, but he couldn't get angry. A raging fire was burning in his heart, and he said angrily, "I'll go get it, I'll go get it, you guys sit down."
As soon as he turned around, his smiling face drooped and he glared at Heshan viciously.
Everyone was sitting or standing in the main room. The bedroom in the main house was right next to it, and one could see clearly inside by pushing open the door. After Zhou Dawei went in, he thought for a moment and did not turn around to close the door. If he let them see it, his three thousand savings might not be safe. It would be better to let them see it clearly so that no one would be worried.
Fortunately, Heshan wanted to cheat the Zhou family at that time. The compensation amount was clearly written on the responsibility letter of each family. Each family was to pay 150 yuan, and there were 16 families in total. Some of the families had two or three men, and each of them had to pay compensation. After the money was taken out, there was no money left, and they still owed 300 or 400 yuan.
The huge sum of three thousand was spent clearly.
Zhou Dawei trembled as he watched his money being spent. His heart was bleeding. He lost his balance and nearly fell. Fortunately, Zhou Min supported him. Both of them had the same gloomy and angry look in their eyes.
"Uncles, can you please exchange the responsibility letter?"
Zhou Min spoke these words word by word, gnashing his teeth as he spoke.
"Hahahaha, of course, of course."
Having earned so much money for nothing, everyone had such happy smiles on their faces that their wrinkles were so big that they could kill a cockroach.
Heshan was also young, and he stood up with satisfaction: "Dad, this is right. We are all from the same village, and we can't let our uncles down, otherwise I will feel guilty!"
The three members of the Zhou family lowered their heads and clenched their fists tightly under their sleeves. They were so damn generous!
The matter was resolved perfectly. Everyone felt that they had accepted Heshan's kindness and no longer felt that the Zhou family was right to complain. Instead, they advised them that it was a blessing to have such a good daughter-in-law and they should cherish her.
Zhou family: "..."
Cherish your mother! A bunch of bandits and bastards!
The three of them smiled reluctantly and agreed, but the hatred in their hearts was like a surging river.
Seeing how 'considerate' they were, everyone was very satisfied. After talking a few more words, they left happily. They had to go home and report the good news of having received so much money.
After the people left, the three people looked at him like evil spirits, which made Heshan shudder. He asked in confusion: "What's wrong with you? Aren't you happy that you helped everyone?"
Zhou Min's blood boiled when he heard this, and he forgot how fierce she was because of his anger: "Are you fucking stupid? That's my money!"
Heshan's expression changed instantly, and he woke him up with two "pa pa" sounds, "You conscienceless beast, what do you mean by your money? That's my money, I'm kind and merciful, I'm happy to give it to everyone, if you don't agree, go find them and argue with them!"
"..." Zhou Min came to his senses, covered his pig face which was already covered with red handprints and lowered his head. How could they ask them to come? Unless they didn't want to live in the village anymore.
These slaps not only woke up Zhou Min, but also Zhou's mother Zhou Dawei. They angrily stopped themselves from saying anything, fearing that they would end up like their son.
"Okay, okay, it's just three thousand dollars. So, how did you earn it?"
There is no conspicuous business at home.
The Zhou family members immediately closed their lips. Seeing her probing eyes, Zhou Dawei became angry: "Don't meddle in other people's business! Don't interfere in a man's business!"
Heshan's eyes flickered slightly, he was a guilty thief. The way he looked afraid of being discovered his secret showed that there was something fishy going on.
Three thousand yuan was a huge sum of money for a rural household in the 1980s, and businesses that had always made big money were, needless to say, written into the criminal law.
She deliberately provoked him: "Dad, please don't break the law, right? What on earth do you do to earn so much? Tell me about it."
Zhou Dawei's heart skipped a beat, and he suppressed his ugly expression and told her to listen.
Haha, it’s good enough that I don’t ask anyone to kill you, what the hell!
This woman was very crazy. Zhou Dawei was afraid that she would notice something if he continued talking, so he simply turned around and went back to his room, leaving Zhou's mother and Zhou Min there. When the two saw that he had left, they also wanted to leave to calm down their feelings about losing the huge sum of three thousand yuan, but they were stopped by He Shan the next second.
"What are you doing? I've been hungry for most of the day, you can't just ignore me."
"..." The two were angry but helpless. Moreover, they were also hungry, so they could only do as she said.
