Chapter 628: The Orphan Girl Whose Husband Died Flying to a Branch 9
"Yu'e, don't be impulsive. I sold everything at home, I carried the heavy bags, I helped others with work, and I would never let anything happen to the two children. If you kill her, our whole family will be finished, Yue'e."
Chen Dongliang was not stopping Wang Yue'e to protect his mother, he just didn't want Wang Yue'e to die.
If Wang Yue'e had impulsively killed Old Lady Chen, the law of the time would have required immediate execution.
Wang Yue'e thought of her daughter who was breathing out more than breathing in when she was lying in bed, and her teeth chattered with hatred.
"Shut up! Do you really think you can save your daughter by carrying a heavy bag? That little money is not enough. This old woman stole our money. She deserves to die. I want her to be buried with the two children!"
"Sister!"
Azhi lifted her skirt, stepped over the threshold, and personally took the kitchen knife from Wang Yue'e's hand.
She hurriedly advised Wang Yue'e, "Sister, don't be impulsive. I have a way to save Chun'er and Hua'er."
"Ping'er?"
Wang Yue'e was stunned when she saw Azhi's outfit.
At this time, Azhi handed her a hundred taels of silver.
"Sister, please take the money and go get the medicine. As long as Chun'er and Hua'er take the medicine well, they will be fine."
Looking at the one hundred taels of silver in front of her, Wang Yue'e did not accept it on the spot.
She just grabbed Azhi's arm and started questioning him.
"What's the matter with this money? And where did the skirt you're wearing and the pearl hairpin in your hair come from?"
Before Ah Zhi could answer Wang Yue'e's question, Old Lady Chen next to her couldn't wait any longer.
She looked at the dress and pearl hairpin on Azhi, and greed flashed in her inverted triangle eyes. She wished she could snatch these things and put them on herself.
"Oh, it's just one night, and you're wearing such nice clothes. And you're wearing pearls on your head, right? Where did these nice things come from? Did you do something shameful?"
Even though it was a shameful act, Old Lady Chen's eyes still turned red with jealousy.
She sneered at Wang Yue'e again, "You're thinking about your dead brother, and you treat her like a member of your family, and you give her all the good things at home."
"Now she is so shameless. Wang Yue'e, you are really a spendthrift woman. It would be a disaster for Dongliang to marry you."
"Shut your stinky mouth. Are you full of manure? Your words are so stinky, you old woman. Believe it or not, I will chop you to death."
Wang Yue'e used to think that a harmonious family is the key to success, and she thought her husband didn't want to make things too embarrassing.
Now thinking of his two poor daughters, he instantly stopped caring about them.
If Ah Zhi hadn't held her hand, she might have rushed up to teach Old Lady Chen a lesson.
She didn't believe that Azhi was as bad as Old Lady Chen described.
At this time, Meixiang walked into the yard and looked at Old Lady Chen with a cold face. Her sharp eyes were like a knife, which immediately made Old Lady Chen shut her mouth and shrink her feet.
"How can you speak to our young lady like that? Do you know who you are cursing?"
Old Mrs. Chen is still very unrestrained towards Azhi, whom she has seen grow up.
However, looking at the imposing Meixiang in front of her, a bit of timidity appeared on Old Lady Chen's face.
At the beginning, Mrs. Wei arranged Meixiang to be Azhi's maid, one reason was to keep an eye on her, and the other was to protect Azhi.
Ah Zhi’s status is different now. Magistrate Wei and Mrs. Wei both recognize her as their daughter and of course they will not allow anyone to bully her.
Old Lady Chen swallowed her saliva and said unconfidently, "One hundred taels of silver notes were taken in one night. Ordinary people can't come up with that. Lin Ping'er is just a widow, where did she get the money? I think she must have done something shameless."
When Old Lady Chen said this, people nearby started whispering.
"One hundred taels? Money I'll never see in my life."
"Where does she make the money? Who knows if it's clean?"
"Lin Ping'er is pretty, and she was almost bought by that kind of place to entertain customers. If it weren't for the Wang family..."
Before these people could finish their words, Mei Xiang scolded them coldly, "How dare you! Do you two want to die? How dare you criticize my young lady? Come on, arrest those three people."
At the command, the servants rushed in and tied up the three gossips in no time.
The three gossips screamed in fear.
"Girl, spare us, we didn't mean it. This is all Old Lady Chen's fault. She started the conversation."
"Help me."
Wang Yue'e had never seen such a scene before. She didn't expect that after Meixiang said a word, someone came in and tied up the person who gossiped.
Each of these servants is tall and strong, and seems difficult to deal with.
Meixiang stepped forward, bowed to Ah Zhi, and asked, "Miss, how should we deal with these people? Although we can't do anything to them, we can take them to court and punish them with caning for false accusations."
When they heard that they were going to go to court, the three of them became even more frightened and all of them pleaded with Ah Zhi for mercy.
Ah Zhi said to Mei Xiang, "Forget it. Ignorance is not a crime. These people are just talking nonsense. Just give them twenty slaps. Don't make a big fuss and don't affect father."
When they heard that they didn’t have to go to court, the three of them stopped shouting immediately.
At this time, Ah Zhi looked at the old lady Chen next to him and said, "Auntie Chen, can you repeat what you just said to me?"
I didn't expect that Azhi has now become a lady from a wealthy family. Old Mrs. Chen cannot afford to offend someone with such an identity.
She looked at Wang Yue'e and said, "We are all family, why do we have to do things to the extreme? Isn't it just paying for the two children's medical treatment? Sure, I have money and I will pay it right away."
"unnecessary."
Ah Zhi refused mercilessly, "I don't need your money now, I just want to make things clear with you. Brother-in-law, go call the head of the village, we must divide the family today."
"Grandma is going to drive her two granddaughters to death. There is no elder like her in the world. It is better for us to part ways today and go our separate ways."
Old Mrs. Chen hurriedly tugged at Old Man Chen’s sleeve, and the meaning was very clear: the couple did not want to separate.
They not only have a son, Chen Dongliang, but also a daughter and a son.
My daughter is already married and she doesn’t care about the Chen family’s affairs. She only goes home during the holidays.
When the old couple were young, they favored boys over girls and had offended their daughter a long time ago.
The youngest son is still young and has not yet been arranged to marry.
Unlike Chen Dongliang who is tall and strong, the younger son's appearance and height are a little disappointing. He is idle most of the time and often makes the old couple very angry.
But after all, it is flesh that fell off my body, so I can't just ignore it.
They don't want to split up just to have two free laborers, and to rely on the eldest brother's family for support when they get old.
Old Man Chen said to Ah Zhi, "My daughter, you must not be unreasonable. How can you instigate us to split up? Your aunt and I are the only two sons. There is no reason in the world to split up the family when both parents are still alive, unless you want to force us to death."
