The Country Maiden: Fields and Leisure
Chapter 1337: Life or Death, It Has Nothing to Do with the Jiang Family
CHAPTER 1337: CHAPTER 1337: LIFE OR DEATH, IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE JIANG FAMILY
The two brothers were almost delirious with joy! This was just because of the Graduate, borrowing his title, they already managed to get quite a bit of silver to spend.
Now he’s the County Magistrate, and their sister is the County Magistrate’s sister-in-law. With such a solid relationship, their family can be considered as relatives of the County Magistrate.
Wouldn’t they be able to get more silver to spend in the future?
In their excitement, the two brothers ordered a table full of good dishes, two jugs of wine, and drank joyfully at home until their personal soldiers barged into the house. The two brothers were still drunk and hadn’t sobered up.
Dragged out and doused with two barrels of cold water, they shivered awake.
Almost jumping up from the ground like headless flies: "Who? Who splashed me? Don’t want to live anymore, eh? Do you know who your grandpa is? Your grandpa is a relative of Lord Song—"
Before the words were even finished, the personal soldiers kicked him down: "Who are you calling grandpa? Brat! Today we’ll show you who your grandpa is!"
The two brothers kneeled onto the ground with a painful knee, finally fully awake. Looking up, they saw that their own yard had a few more fierce-looking men.
Looking again, their own grandparents, father, wife, and children were all kneeling in the yard.
They immediately became intimidated: "Several... gentlemen... unfamiliar faces, have our brothers offended you in some way?"
One of the personal soldiers snorted coldly: "You don’t know what good deeds you’ve done yourself?"
The two brothers looked at each other, they hadn’t done anything recently? Ever since they found a way to reconnect with their sister, wasn’t it a good way to make money? Busy charming people into giving them money every day, where would they find time to cause trouble?
They shook their heads in confusion.
The personal soldier reminded them: "Your days have been quite good recently, haven’t they? Deceived quite a bit of silver, right?"
Jiang Brothers finally understood, hurriedly explained: "These gentlemen, we didn’t deceive anyone! We truly are relatives of the former Graduate, now Lord Song. This Lord Song’s wife is the direct sister-in-law of our family’s eldest sister, our Jiang Family and Wang Family and Lord Song are in-laws!"
"Moreover, doing business using Lord Song’s name, paying some silver, isn’t that only natural? With Lord Song’s protection, business is easier to conduct, right? These are all willingly given recognition silver, truly not deceived by us brothers! If you don’t believe me, go to the street and ask, we really are relatives of Lord Song!"
Wang Yonggui behind wanted to come forward and kick them!
Bastards! Ungrateful wretches! This was using their brother-in-law’s name and undermining Wang Family’s business!
He is inherently reckless, this anger surged to his head, disregarding everything.
He immediately rolled up his sleeves, looked for a plank in the yard, and went forward, thrashing them vigorously: "Damn bastards! Eating from my Wang Family, using my Wang Family, and using my brother-in-law’s name to undermine my Wang Family’s business! I’ll beat the ungrateful bastards to death!"
"You think my Wang Family is easily bullied, eh? Tell me, how much silver did you deceive? Hand it all over to me!"
Wang Yonggui was heartbroken with hatred! Using his brother-in-law’s name to swindle money was his forte, wasn’t it? Now he’s corrected his ways, dared not do this!
Unexpectedly, this financial avenue was cheaply picked up by Jiang Family!
The more he thought, the angrier he got! The more ruthless he became in beating them.
After a few hits, Jiang Brothers face was torn apart, only lying there moaning.
Scholar Jiang, Wang Yonggui’s father-in-law saw, since it was his son-in-law, he attempted to keep some posture, couldn’t utter "son-in-law" before seeing his son being beaten into two pig heads.
Suddenly panicked: "Son-in-law! Stop it! Please stop! We are family, why such heavy-handedness?"
Wang Yonggui spat on Scholar Jiang’s face: "Damn nonsense! Who the hell is family with you? You’re Jiang, I am Wang! We are not related! Don’t think your daughter marrying me can take advantage of it! Bah! If you push me, I’ll divorce your daughter, and that’ll be the end!"
Lady Jiang coming from behind hearing these words, blacked out, almost fainted.
Still, Jiang brothers’ two wives, seeing Lady Jiang, like seeing a savior, hurriedly cried: "Eldest sister, eldest sister, save your brothers! Your brothers are being killed by brother-in-law! What on earth is happening? How can it be beating without asking reason? We are relatives, after all. Consider the relationship, he’s your closest brother!"
Wang Yonggui hearing these words, turned around saw Lady Jiang, snorted coldly: "You coming is good! Today, let’s make it clear in front of everyone! If you’re determined to recognize your maiden family, then today I’ll divorce you, you also don’t return to Qilidun! If you keep the Wang Family and our children, then sever ties with them sooner!"
Hearing these, Jiang Family was dumbfounded.
Scholar Jiang proclaimed this absurd! What kind of decency!
Jiang Family’s two sisters-in-law finally realized it was wrong, the stance was even the eldest sister would be divorced?
For a while not knowing whether having Lady Jiang recognized her maiden family and being divorced was best or not recognizing and cutting ties with Jiang Family was better.
Both choices seemed disadvantageous to Jiang Family?
Jiang Family hadn’t reacted, Lady Jiang had already made up her mind!
Despite trembling, her legs were shaking, she still stepped forward to Scholar Jiang, looking into Scholar Jiang’s eyes, said word by word: "Father! On the day of marrying out, you once said to me, a married daughter is water tossed away, it’s my own life whether good or bad, unrelated to Jiang Family!"
"Later, during difficult years with the Wang Family, me and the children were starving and cold, returned secretly asking for help. I was hungry for many days, unable to walk steadily! Yet you blocked me at the door, wouldn’t let me in, saying out of Jiang Family’s door, no longer Jiang Family’s person, whether alive or dead, unrelated to Jiang Family!"
"Even if beggars came to the street, kind-hearted families would at least give some leftover food! Yet you didn’t even give me water to drink, just drove me away! It was only the next-door auntie seeing me too weak to walk, gave a bowl of leftovers that I barely survived!"
"Now that Wang Family’s days are better, you sent two brothers asking me. Holding back my breath, when I almost starved to death, you didn’t rescue me, now my days are better, you finally come to ask me?"
"I feel pleased! Turns out you have today! Used to look down on me, now you have to ask me!"
"Now, what I should repay, I repaid. A few times when your family almost starved to death! All supplemented by me, also repaid the nourishment grace! From now on, please remember what was said, I’m a married-out daughter, not Jiang Family’s, water tossed away! Whether alive or dead, my own life! Unrelated to Jiang Family!"
After speaking, knelt and banged head nine times, breaking skin, blood seeped out, didn’t even wipe.
Then stood straight, walked to Wang Yonggui’s side.
