Chapter 153

Zhou's mother refused to leave no matter what, shouting that they were the ones who hid her daughter. "Not only did they hide my daughter, they also had someone beat my son. My poor son and daughter, I am such a useless mother. I can't even help them get justice when they are bullied like this!"

As she was a woman, the head of Yangliu Village could not help her up and could only watch her tumbling on the ground.

He wanted Zhou's father to go forward and help her up, but Zhou's father was unwilling, "Village Chief, you came at the right time. This family kidnapped our Yu Ru. You have to take charge of it for us."

The head of Yangliu Village said sternly, "Nonsense! Do you have any evidence to prove that it was the Zhong family who abducted your daughter? If you don't have any, don't talk nonsense!"

Zhou Yushou had kept silent, hoping to get some benefits from his parents' unreasonable demands, but he didn't expect that the Zhong family would not buy it at all.

He stepped forward and said, "Village Chief, Zhou Laosan said he would come to my house to propose marriage after the New Year, but he never came. It's not surprising that we came to his house and said my sister is missing. It's obvious that he knows where my sister went. Maybe he is the one who hid my sister!"

Zhong Laosan didn't look at him, but said to the head of Yangliu Village, "Head Zhou, I told Yuru that my family already knew about my relationship with her. If I had more money after the New Year, I would ask someone to propose marriage. But two months ago, he," Zhong Laosan pointed at Zhou Yushou, "he asked someone to hurt my sister, and I beat him up. After that, there was no possibility for Yuru and I, so I never went to look for her. The last time we met was two months ago."

Zhou Yushou sneered, "You said you don't have it? Then I said you do have it!"

"Zhou Yushou!" Village Chief Zhou stopped him, "Someone saw your sister on the day she disappeared. Have you forgotten the doctor who went to your house? Your mother gave your sister money to get medicine, and she watched your sister go out. Someone in our village also saw your sister walking towards the town. Why are you still running to the Zhong family and talking nonsense now?"

Mother Zhou, who had been rolling on the ground, was unhappy and got up. Although the pepper water affected her vision a little, she still looked accurately at the position of Village Chief Zhou.

"Village chief, why are you helping outsiders instead of villagers? They were the ones who kidnapped my daughter, and you are still speaking for them. Did you accept benefits from them?"

Village Chief Zhou was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, his hair was about to explode, "You Lin, how dare you talk nonsense like this? I used to take good care of your family because we are from the same village, but you turned out to be a family of ungrateful bastards!"

"Village Chief Zhao, please find someone to tie them up so we can send them back to Yangliu Village!"

Zhao Ganwei, the head of Xinghua Village, snorted coldly, "Old Zhou, your people came here to cause trouble, and now they just leave? How can it be so simple? What do you think of our Xinghua Village?"

Village chief Zhou originally wanted to tie them up and take them back and resolve the issue internally, but it was obvious that Zhao Ganwei wanted them to leave something behind before leaving.

He stretched out his foot and kicked Zhou's father, "Why don't you apologize quickly!"

Father Zhou was a bully at home, but a coward outside. He was so bent over by the kick that he didn’t care who it was directed at. He just bent over and said, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry. It was my wife who got mad today that caused all this trouble. I’ll go back and teach her a lesson. This won’t happen again!”

Li Guihua put her hands on her hips and said, "You came here to frame my brother-in-law for no reason. Who will dare to marry my brother-in-law in the future? You ruined my brother-in-law's reputation like this, and you're done with just a simple "I'm sorry"?"

Quack, quack! Zhong Ruyi applauded her sister-in-law in her heart!

Mr. Zhong had a gloomy face. "We, the third son, have no relationship with your daughter for a long time! How could we dare to marry a family like you who sells their own daughter?"

"My reputation has been ruined by you. Verbal apologies are useless! Just compensate my brother-in-law with some money so that he can recuperate!" Li Guihua continued to complain.

"It's fine if you came to my house to wrongly accuse my brother-in-law, but you actually said that I would compensate you with my sister-in-law? Bah! Why don't you take a piss and see what kind of character you have? You still think we are easy to bully, right? If you don't make things clear today, don't even think about leaving!"

Zhong Ruyi secretly gave her sister-in-law a thumbs up, and her sister-in-law became even more proud when she saw it.

"What? Compensation? Compensation for what? Why should I pay compensation?" Zhou's mother looked dissatisfied.

Village Chief Zhao said slowly, "You don't have to pay, then I'll take you to the officials. If you come here to cause trouble like this, the county magistrate will probably beat you with a stick. But you have thick skin, so a beating won't be a big deal. Since you don't want to pay, then leave and report to the officials!"

"Ah? This!" Zhou's father looked embarrassed. They came here today just to ask the Zhong family to hand over their daughter. If they couldn't hand it over, they would have to use their Zhong family's daughter as compensation.

I don’t know why things suddenly turned out like this. The village chief of my own village didn’t even speak up for me and is now glaring at me.

He was a little worried, afraid that he would really be taken to see the officials and beaten with a stick.

I could only whisper to the old woman, "Give them some compensation, I don't want to be beaten."

Zhou's mother's eyes were as big as bells, and they looked even more frightening because pepper spray had just entered her eyes.

"I won't! They should pay for it, why should we pay for it?"

Father Zhou was a little impatient. "It doesn't matter to us. Think about your son. He has only recovered from his injury not long ago. I should not have come today! It's all your fault. You kept clamoring to come. Now you have to ask for money without doing anything well!"

Zhou's mother couldn't believe it. "I said I wanted to come, but didn't you object?"

They also said at that time that if the Zhong family was unwilling to compensate them for their daughter, then they would give them money, and they would use the money to buy their son some good things to replenish his health.

If they succeed this time, they can come to ask for money next time. Anyway, if they don’t give money, they will have to give their daughter to the Zhou family as compensation.

"Dad, Mom, stop talking and give us the money quickly. Let's go back first this time. We have to think of a way to not let them have it so easy!" Zhou Yushou's sinister voice rang out.

Glancing at her son's pale face, Zhou's mother reluctantly took out a hundred coins.

Li Guihua sneered at the 100 coins and said, "Are you sending away a beggar? Is 100 coins enough to buy something for my brother-in-law to replenish his body?"

"Would it have been like this if you hadn't come here to cause such a scene? You are such a vicious family! You sold your daughter and yet you still want to covet other people's daughters. You are so shameless. If you don't pay me half an ounce today, don't even think about leaving!"

When Zhou's family members heard that they wanted five taels and eight coins, their faces turned black. Zhou's mother shouted, "Your Third Zhong has been with my daughter for so long, who knows if he has taken advantage of my daughter? Today, the most I will pay is one hundred coins, no more!"

The war is about to start.

The eldest sister-in-law took the lead and started fighting with Zhou's mother, regardless of the obstruction of the village chiefs on both sides.

"You are such a rotten bastard, you have spread rumors right in front of us. If I can't let you walk out of this door today, I won't be named Li!"

After all, Zhou's mother is older than her sister-in-law. At the beginning, they were evenly matched, but soon she was pinned to the ground and rubbed by her sister-in-law.

"Do you dare to fart again? Don't think I won't hit you just because you're an old lady! Even if a god comes and dares to spread rumors, I'll beat you!"

Zhong Laosan and others were stunned. Zhong Ruyi remembered that her eldest sister-in-law was here, so why didn't she see her second sister-in-law and the children.

She looked around and saw several little heads at the window of her second sister-in-law's room, their faces flushed with excitement.

She asked her father in a low voice, "Why did you lock up Cuicui and the others?"
