Yang Dahua's daughter-in-law was married in the past two years. I don't know whether she really didn't know or pretended not to know. When she heard Wang Can's words, she immediately became unhappy.
"Can Niang, don't talk nonsense! If Niang really took so much money from your family as you said, how could our family still live in misery? Wouldn't it be bad to move to the city to buy a shop and start a business if you have money? Why are you digging in the ground for food?"
Wang Can didn't miss the panic in Yang Dahua's eyes. Hearing her good cousin's words, he sarcastically said: "Now I have to ask your parents-in-law. What do you ask me for? They like to dig food in the fields and pretend to be generous. I told people everywhere that I took in this niece who has no father or mother. I like to hear people praise their kindness and say that I have a good aunt, which is a blessing I got from my previous life."
Speaking of this, she snorted coldly and looked at Yang Dahua: "If you have anything to do with selling my house and fields, go back to my hometown and ask someone to find out. After all, I was still young and couldn't decide on these things. . And you took the money and said you would give it to me as a dowry. In fact, I already know where you spent the money. Do you want me to find someone from Wan Village to ask you when you bought the seven acres of fertile land and spent it? How much did it cost?”
As the daughter-in-law of Yang Dahua, she knew that her family owned land in Congwan Village. Although she had not seen it with her own eyes, she knew that her husband had gone there to collect rent.
Hearing this, she looked back at her mother-in-law, doubts flashing in her eyes.
Did the mother-in-law really take so much money from Can’s family?
If this is the case, then it would be a bit unethical for their family to constantly boss others around over the years.
Yang Dahua couldn't care less about her daughter-in-law looking at her at this time. When she heard that Wang Can even knew where she was, she became anxious.
"You kid, what are you talking about if you don't want to get married? Also, what does my family's purchase of land have to do with you? The recent years have been good, so my family is not allowed to save money and buy land?"
Wang Can's face was full of ridicule: "Your husband's family has been digging for food in Shuiyun Village for generations. There are many brothers and sisters, but there is little land. It is simply impossible to come up with so much money at once. You said this if you didn't sell my house You bought the house and the land with money, so where did your money come from? Who would give you so much money in a good manner? Could it be that it was because of murder and robbery? "
Mrs. Wang, who had come out at some point, heard that the candidate for her granddaughter-in-law, whom she was optimistic about, was hired by this so-called biological aunt to that beast of the Liu family. She immediately said angrily: "Can girl, you don't have to talk nonsense with this kind of person. She If you don't want to pay back the money, just report it to the official, and I'll find someone to help you write the petition. When my son was alive, he was a scholar after all, and several of his classmates also had honors. When the time comes, I'll have someone send you a message, please If they help, it should be fine."
Li Yuan spoke at the right time: "Nai, you don't need to come forward for such a trivial matter. Junzi's brother Xie Yanzhi is a scholar. I just want to go to the county town today, so I can just ask him to help me write a piece of paper."
After finishing speaking, she looked at Wang Can: "Can Niang, if she doesn't pay back the money, just report it to the official. According to what you said, I heard that the money is more than fifty taels. According to the laws of our country, Yun State, no matter what, you have to be sentenced Ten years to eight years.”
Yang Dahua's man is called Zhao Dazhu, and he came here with the intention of escorting Wang Can back to get married.
Since Liu Dongsheng was kicked by Li Jun and his bones were broken, he has been unable to return to the teahouse to work.
I don't know why, but his parents haven't come back since they went out.
The villagers were anxious to get him to pay back the money. He didn't have much on him, so when he went home to look for it, he couldn't find it.
Finally, in desperation, he thought that his mother had promised him Wang Can, and that the five-tael betrothal gift had also been given to the Zhao family.
No, just because Wang Can left home and didn't get married, he came to Zhao's house to ask for money.
The Zhao family had money in their pockets without covering it, so how could they spit it out?
The couple talked hard to Liu Dongsheng before they persuaded him to stop. After finding out that Wang Can was walking with Li Yuan that night, they immediately came to the door.
The couple's wishful thinking was rattling. Who knew that the person who used to be soft and had no temper would actually become so hard-headed just a few days after leaving home.
Not only did they know their plans, but they also knew the land they were purchasing from Congwan Village.
Seeing these two suing the officials, Zhao Dazhuang felt a little scared, but he was even more reluctant to take out the money.
His family has many sons. In addition to the eldest getting married, the younger one was sent to a private school, and the middle one was sent to Fucheng to be an apprentice through connections.
Now the total amount of broken silver in the family is less than ten taels, which also includes the five taels of betrothal gift given by Mrs. Liu.
If he really wanted to pay Wang Can back, he would either use the land to pay off the debt or sell the land to raise money.
He was unwilling to do both.
So, if Wang Can wants to sue the government, she can sue. After so many years, he doesn't believe that Wang Can can still produce evidence.
So what if someone testifies that their family sold the land? At most, when the county magistrate asks about it, he will say that the money was returned to Wang Can a long time ago for his own keeping.
As for who she gave it to, where she used it or lost it, what does that have to do with them?
Thinking like this, he looked at Wang Can with a sad face: "Your family did have money back then, but your mother died of illness. She had been ill for nearly a year, and your family's money had been almost wiped out. Stay. We have indeed organized a decent funeral for your mother, so there is nothing left."
When Zhao Dazhu said this, seeing that Wang Can had something to say, he suddenly said loudly: "As for the land and house, yes, we sold them for you. But we paid you back the money when you were ten years old. "
"I still remember that there were seventy-eight taels in total, including five ingots of ten taels, the remaining four ingots of five taels, and four ingots of two taels. After you got the money, we didn't know where you hid it. Today you are like this Not only do you not acknowledge our kindness to you, but you bite back on us, which is really chilling."
Speaking of this, Zhao Dazhu seemed to have lost his energy all of a sudden, and he seemed to have aged at that moment. He supported Yang Dahua and said in a hoarse voice: "Dahua, let's go. Just pretend that this child has never been raised. Who?" I can imagine the result of tearing out my heart and lungs, but I didn’t raise her properly. Hey, after all, I’m not my biological child!”
Yang Dahua and Zhao Dazhu have been married for many years. How could they not understand what he meant when they heard this?
She looked at Wang Can with tears in her eyes and said in a slightly choked voice: "You won't go back if you don't go back. Why are you slandering me like this? In any case, as an aunt, I have a clear conscience. I am worthy of heaven and earth. Your mother. As for you saying that I asked you to marry Liu Dongsheng, yes, it was my fault, and I should not have arranged this marriage for you."
"It's just that I didn't know the situation in their family at that time. You know, how can I make a decision for you? If the Li family hadn't come to make trouble, who in our village would have known about it? Since you are not happy, you are so hateful Let's, let's do this. Don't interact with each other in the future. I will go back and help you cancel your marriage!"
