Chapter 128: Chapter 216: Knocking on the Door

Aunt Wang arrived at the home of Xu Wenhui’s sister-in-law, heaping praise upon the betrothal gift from foreman Liang.

Xu Wenhui’s sister-in-law, hearing about this much betrothal gift for Xu Wenhui, widened her eyes and then burst into laughter, her mouth stretched wide with glee!

"Aunt Wang, are you telling the truth? Did foreman Liang really give that jinx so much betrothal gift?" Wenhui’s sister-in-law eagerly confirmed with Aunt Wang, her heart leaping for joy!

They’ve hit the jackpot now! Ten taels of silver! Her man hadn’t made that in half his lifetime!

Who would have thought that a fallen woman, remarrying, could bring such a hefty betrothal gift!

If only she could keep remarrying, each time with even more betrothal gifts, she wouldn’t have to lift a finger to have food on the table!

"Pearl has nothing on this! The village is buzzing! It’s not just the ten taels of silver! Those two pairs of gold headdresses nearly blinded me! And that gold bracelet! It’s no less than four taels! Oh my god! If it were mine, I’d happily die!"

"We’re rich now!" Xu Wenhui’s sister-in-law let go of Aunt Wang, getting ready to go and get Xu Wenhui’s betrothal gift.

"Your sister-in-law has really fallen into a pile of luck, but sadly! All those gold and silver have benefited someone else! After raising her for so many years, you end up with nothing but a bad reputation! I’m afraid none of the benefits have come your way!"

Xu Wenhui’s sister-in-law turned back around, "Aunt, what do you mean by that? Who are the gold and silver benefiting?"

Whoever the hell dares steal her silver! She cursed them and their entire family to meet a terrible end, their sons born without ass!

"Oh my! You didn’t know? Your biological sister-in-law gave all the betrothal gifts to your adopted sister! That family has struck it rich again!"

"What! If I don’t kill that jinx, that wastrel of a woman, I’ll take her surname, damn it!" Xu Wenhui’s sister-in-law couldn’t help but curse, then swiftly picked up a stick from the courtyard corner and strode off in a temper.

Aunt Wang hurried to follow to watch the excitement!

Xu Wenhui’s sister-in-law’s first stop was Xu Wenhui’s house, but noticing the door was locked from the outside, she headed towards Shen Chengyao’s house at the head of the village.

Villagers who saw Xu Wenhui’s sister-in-law in a fighting mood followed to watch the spectacle.

Upon arriving at Shen Chengyao’s house, she lifted the stick and pounded their front door, "Xu Wenhui, you jinx, get out here at once. Don’t think I can’t deal with you just because you’re hiding here! Jinx, come out now!"

"Mrs. Liu, you heartless old witch, you’re rich enough but still covet my silver, you better spit it out or I curse you to gut-rot, your sons born without asses, and to meet a terrible end!"

Mr. Qian, who was on gatekeeper duty that day, saw Xiao’er signaling to open the gate from afar, so he hastily opened it.

Xu Wenhui’s sister-in-law, using too much force, shot in carrying the stick and ended up crashing to the ground!

Villagers following behind saw this and burst into laughter.

Mrs. Liu and others came out to see what was happening, catching the scene.

"My dear lady, why such a grand entrance as soon as you arrive?"

"Damn it, who’s making a grand entrance for you, utterly shameless."

"Only a shameless person would burst into someone else’s house creating a ruckus!"

"Who are you calling shameless, repeat it again and see if I don’t rip your mouth!"

"Whoever makes a racket in my home is shameless."

"You’re so young and yet your mouth is so venomous, showing no mercy to anyone. I wonder who would dare to take you in the future! If it weren’t for your family swallowing my assets, I wouldn’t have bothered coming!"

"Make it clear, who’s family swallowed your silver!"

"Right, Aunt Xu, did your family have silver swallowed by someone?" Someone in the crowd said laughingly. The Xu family was so poor that Aunt Xu was left with nothing but her fat body. Any bit of silver at home would be used by this old lady to buy meat!

"The betrothal gift from Foreman Liang, isn’t it in your house? You still claim you didn’t swallow it!"

"So what if it’s in my house, is Foreman Liang marrying you? Is the betrothal gift for you?"

After hearing these words, the villagers burst into laughter again. "Mrs. Ma, are you thinking of remarrying? Oh my, you’re heftier than a pig at the end of the year! Who would dare to marry you, aren’t they afraid of losing their appetite?"

"She’s just envious because someone received a large betrothal gift. She doesn’t remember how she treated Mrs. Xu. If I were her, I would be too ashamed to show my face in public, let alone swagger around!"

"Damn you, you’re a pig, your whole family are pigs! This doomed star is my sister-in-law. If I, as her sister-in-law, don’t receive her betrothal gift, who should!"

Then she stood up, pointed at Xu Wenhui and cursed, "You damn star. I have raised you for so many years, as soon as you get something, you can’t wait to give it away to outsiders! If I fall, you wouldn’t even help me. If I don’t beat you to death, it’s like three days without beating leads to looking for trouble. You better bring out those betrothal gifts! Or else I’ll break your legs!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she picked up a carrying pole and started to beat Xu Wenhui who couldn’t dodge in time and was struck directly.

"Sister-in-law, we’ve already severed our ties." Xu Wenhui ducked, avoiding her second try with the carrying pole!

"Manager Xie, get this pig out of here. Don’t let such ungrateful beasts in again!" Xiao’er stepped forward, grabbed the carrying pole, and spoke out coldly!

Upon Xie An’s command, he grabbed her by the collar, twisted her out of the gate, and threw her on the ground. Xie An’s wife immediately poured a basin of Mr. Xie’s foot-washing water over her!

A burst of laughter erupted from the crowd!

Xie An’s wife is mighty! She is too in sync!

It was now Mrs. Liu’s turn to speak: "Everyone knows that my sister has severed ties with her long ago. I’m just temporarily holding onto my sister’s betrothal gifts. On the day of marriage, she’s to take everything with her. We won’t swallow a single coin."

"Don’t we know how your family operates? So much silver has been spent on fixing the village roads. How could they be greedy for a little betrothal gift? We’re just here to see the joke that is the Xu family’s! Don’t mind us, third sister-in-law!" Someone from the crowd quickly responded.

"You chased people out of the house back then, not giving a penny, severing ties so easily. Now you want to take someone else’s betrothal gifts, where in the world does this happen!"

"If you want to take the betrothal gifts, then what dowry have you prepared for her! If not, stop daydreaming!"

Everyone knew that Mrs. Xu was foolish, even daring to barge into Shen Chengyao’s house. Now there were quite a few long-term workers in Shen’s family, and it wouldn’t be hard to kill her!

The Shen family has won a good reputation for fixing roads and drying fields for the village, and many families are appreciative of their kindness and speak up for them.

Xu Wenhui’s sister-in-law, after being thrown out, felt humiliated, and also unacceptable not to get the silver, so she started to make a scene regardless at Shen Chengyao’s door.

She planned on creating enough fuss to force the Shen Chengyao family to bring out the silver out of annoyance and fear!

In the end, it was Xu Wenhui’s elder brother who forcibly dragged her away.

While Xu Wenhui’s elder brother was not a bad person, he was too weak and always listened to his wife. He didn’t dare to disobey her at all, which led to Xu Wenhui’s tragedy.

Now that his wife has come to ruin his sister’s marriage, he could no longer bear it and forcibly dragged her away.

Xiao’er watched coldly. If this man could be saved, she wouldn’t mind helping him in the future after all, he is Xu Wenhui’s legitimate elder brother!
