Chapter 183 Mother, Taohua's life is so miserable
"Get out of the way! I see that you usually treat my Taohua well, so don't force me to do anything." Chen Guifang scolded in a bad mood.
Zhang Chunyu refused to move away. Thinking about how her mother had cried and had red eyes when she spoke to her in the morning, she was determined to get the money back. Her brother was in jail, and there were many places to spend the money.
"I won't let you, mother. I told you that you can take Li Taohua away, but you must return the betrothal money to us."
"I'll quit, I won't quit!" Chen Guifang rushed forward, grabbed Zhang Chunyu's hair, and angrily scolded: "My daughter was at a disadvantage by marrying into your family. It was your brother who got into trouble and was put in jail. Do you think you can ruin my daughter's life?"
Zhang Chunyu didn't hold back and grabbed her head: "If you don't give me the money, no matter what you say today, I won't let my sister-in-law leave home!"
Chen Guifang was so angry that she asked Li Taohua to leave. When Li Taohua wanted to leave, Sun Tingfang came back and frightened Li Taohua. She shouted unconsciously, "Mom!"
Sun Tingfang's eyes were red, but as soon as she entered the yard, she saw her daughter being beaten by Chen Guifang, so she immediately joined in without mercy. Not only did she join in, she grabbed Li Taohua's hair and threw her towards Chen Guifang.
Chen Guifang immediately freed her hands to catch Li Taohua, but was pinched several times by Zhang Chunyu.
When the two separated, Zhang Chunyu's hair had become a mess.
As soon as she saw Sun Tingfang, Zhang Chunyu seemed to have found her backbone: "Mom, she really wants to take Li Taohua with her." What she meant was that her mother had guessed it right.
Sun Tingfang looked at Chen Guifang and Li Taohua, mother and daughter, and became angry. She immediately scolded, "I'm telling you, if you want to take Li Taohua with you, it's impossible. Her household registration is still in our Zhang family."
Chen Guifang stared at her and scolded her back: "Your Zhang Long committed a crime himself. What? You want to drag my daughter down with you? Dream on! I must take my daughter away today!"
They were making so much noise early in the morning that they attracted some villagers who loved to watch the fun.
After hearing this a few times, I immediately understood. Isn't it true that husband and wife are birds of the same forest, but they fly away separately when disaster strikes?
"Okay! You want to take her away! Then return the betrothal money I gave to you today! I remember that your family used the fact that Li Taohua was pregnant to trick me into paying you, but now she's been married for a year and she hasn't laid a single egg!"
After saying that, she took a stool and sat at the door of her house, folding her hands and saying, "If you don't give me money today, don't even think about leaving this house!"
Chen Guifang's face turned red with anger.
"My daughter, a 20-year-old girl, is married to an old bachelor from your family!"
"That was what she wanted in the beginning! If you don't want to give me the money, that's fine! Her household registration is under our jurisdiction. If anything happens to my son, I will bury her alive to accompany him. They don't have any children anyway, so it's a good opportunity for them to go to the underworld and be a loving couple together!"
When Li Taohua heard this, she immediately became anxious and pulled Chen Guifang, crying and shouting, "Mom, I don't want to be buried with you, I don't want to be buried with you!"
Chen Guifang was so angry that her face turned blue. She gritted her teeth and squeezed out a few words: "Okay, I'll give up, but my daughter has suffered a year since she married into your family. It's impossible for me to give up all the betrothal gifts. After all, when my daughter first married your Zhang Long, she was a virgin! What do you think?"
The people outside watching the excitement said, "That's right."
Sun Tingfang didn't want to agree at first, but after thinking about it, he realized that he needed money for many things now, but his family didn't have much silver, so he nodded and agreed: "Okay, we gave five taels of silver as the betrothal gift, and now you can return four taels of silver to us."
"Not even one more than two taels!" Chen Guifang said coldly.
"You..." Chen Guifang was furious and narrowed her eyes slightly: "Then let Li Taohua be buried with my son!"
If neither of them gives in, it will just depend on who gets anxious first.
The most anxious person was naturally Li Taohua.
"Mom!" She just shouted, and Chen Guifang was defeated. She turned around and slapped her: "Look at what kind of man you chose! What kind of in-laws you chose."
Li Taohua covered her face and pouted, not daring to say anything in rebuttal.
Finally, Chen Guifang gritted her teeth and looked at Sun Tingfang and said, "Just wait for me. I'll go back and get the money now!"
Chen Guifang went back angrily. Seeing He Qing in a daze in the yard, she immediately became angry: "You bitch, you only know how to cheat and play tricks all day long, and you don't know how to find something to do!"
But He Qing was thinking about Zhang Long and didn't listen to what she said. He only saw Chen Guifang come back angrily, went into the house, and came out angrily and continued to scold: "I will deal with you when I come back later."
Chen Guifang held the four taels of silver, feeling pain in her heart, but she was her own daughter, and she couldn't bear to part with her. She thought to herself, it's okay, she can earn the money back in the future, and when she brings Li Taohua back, she can find a better in-law for her in the second half of the year, and the betrothal gifts will be returned, right? Thinking of this, she felt a little relieved.
Li Taohua looked outside the door eagerly, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Chen Guifang coming back.
Chen Guifang threw four taels of silver directly onto the ground: "Here you go! Find someone to write a divorce letter for my daughter right now!"
The village chief was invited.
As soon as he saw Chen Guifang's appearance, he asked, "Why don't we wait a little longer? If Zhang Daniu wakes up, Zhang Long will be sentenced to a few years at most, and he will come back later."
Chen Guifang snorted: "Who cares!"
Zhang Shunchang looked at Sun Tingfang again. She was holding the silver in her hand. She had just fought with Chen Guifang with great fear. Now that she had the silver in her hands, she felt relieved. In addition, she had not slept all night, and she looked haggard. "Write it, village chief. My family can't afford a woman like this!"
Zhang Shunchang sighed and finally wrote on the white paper.
The news spread throughout the village in just a short while.
Everyone was talking about how Li Taohua and her mother were really realistic. Zhang Long was sent to jail one step before he lost his wife the next.
Li Taohua followed Chen Guifang back to her parents' home, feeling somewhat unhappy.
Chen Guifang pulled her aside and said, "Zhang Long went to jail on his own. He deserved it. Fortunately, he didn't touch you last time because he gave you medicine. Otherwise, if you were really pregnant, Sun Tingfang wouldn't let you go so easily."
When Li Taohua heard her say this, tears suddenly filled her eyes. Then she looked at Chen Guifang's caring eyes and burst into tears: "Mom, Taohua's life is so miserable!"
Chen Guifang patted her on the back and said, "Okay, it's okay. I'll find you a good in-law family in the future. It'll be at least several times better than Zhang Long's family!"
Li Taohua stopped crying and glanced at He Qing. Seeing that she was not looking at them, she whispered, "Mom, ask my eldest brother to find someone for me. Doesn't he know a lot of rich people?"
This failure made her feel that only by finding a rich man could she live the life she wanted.
"Don't worry, mother understands."
