Xie Zhili and Zhou Cuihong looked at each other. Zhou Cuihong hurried to help him up and asked with concern, "Is the boss okay?"

Xie Zhili originally wanted to ask, do you think it's okay to be kicked? But then he thought about how his wife was also kicked by Xie Jiaojiao just now, so he immediately shook his head slightly and said it was okay.

After Lai Fu made sure Jiang Weinan was fine, he yelled at Xie Zhili, "Do you know who's in front of you? If my young master breaks his foot because of kicking you, you can afford to pay for it!"

Xie Jiaojiao was speechless after listening to his words, but she still asked Jiang Weinan with concern: "Is your foot okay?"

After asking, I felt a little stupid.

Jiang Weinan shook his hair: "Don't worry, it's okay!"

Xie Zhili felt that he was insulted, but looking at Jiang Weinan's attire, the servants around him were all dressed better than him, and he was speechless for a moment.

Jiang Weinan pointed at Xie Zhili and Zhou Cuihong and asked Xie Jiaojiao, "Who are they? How dare they come to your house and act wildly?"

Without even looking at Xie Zhili and Zhou Cuihong, Xie Jiaojiao replied, "They are just unimportant villagers."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xie Zhili was not happy: "What insignificant villagers? I am her brother!"

Zhou Cuihong puffed out her chest and said, "That's right! I'm her sister-in-law! Are you the young man she's engaged to? Let me tell you, Xie Jiaojiao is a notorious shrew in our village! She was crazy for more than ten years before, and she did all kinds of despicable things. She drove her own elder brother out of the village, and she doesn't even support her own mother. Are you sure you want to marry such an unkind, unjust, and unfilial woman? You look like a young master from a wealthy family, how could you be so depressed!"

"Laifu! Slap your face!"

Lai Fu just walked up to her and slapped Zhou Cuihong on the face several times, "pa pa pa..."

After the fight, he rubbed his hands and pointed at Zhou Cuihong and said, "The future young mistress of our Jiang family is not someone you, a lowly creature, can discuss!"

Zhou Cuihong's face was immediately slapped, leaving five finger marks. She was extremely angry, but Lai Fu looked so ferocious that she did not dare to fight back.

Lai Fu moved so quickly just now that before Xie Zhili could even react, he saw his wife's face swell up.

Zhou Cuihong covered her cheeks and started crying to Xie Zhili: "Boss, he hit me!"

The crowd murmured.

Xie Zhiyi came back from outside and yelled at Zhou Cuihong, "You are talking nonsense! My sister is the best woman in the world. You are nothing but what you say others are!"

The people outside the yard burst into laughter.

Zhou Cuihong was so embarrassed that she had just been beaten by a servant in front of so many people. She raised her hand to slap Xie Zhiyi.

"If you dare to do that, believe it or not, I will chop off your hand!" Xie Jiaojiao threatened, hugging her chest.

Zhou Cuihong raised her hand, then withdrew it awkwardly, covering her face again, and motioned Xie Zhili to go up, but Xie Zhili shrank back.

"You coward!" Zhou Cuihong cursed in her heart.

Xie Zhiyi ran to Xie Jiaojiao.

"Sister, I called the village chief."

The crowd made way for him and the village chief Chen Shouren came out.

The village chief first glanced at Jiang Weinan, then looked at Xie Jiaojiao, Xie Zhili and Zhou Cuihong, and said impatiently: "Xie family, what trouble are you causing again!"

Xie Zhili spoke faster than Xie Jiaojiao: "Village Chief, my mother is living in our house now. We came to ask Xie Jiaojiao for money for her retirement, but she beat and insulted us instead. You must make the decision for us!"

Chen Shouren looked at Xie Jiaojiao: "Miss Xie, is this true?"

Xie Jiaojiao nodded: "Village Chief, they did come to ask for my mother's pension, but I gave it to them, but they thought it was too little and asked for fifty taels right away, and also asked me to give them a food recipe. I didn't agree, and Zhou Cuihong wanted to beat me up. I protected myself and kicked her, and then I got nothing else!"

When the crowd heard this, the discussion became louder.

Someone gestured with his hands: "Fifty taels! That's a lot of silver."

"I also want someone's recipe!"

"Xie Lao Er, your family eats delicacies from land and sea all day long!"

"That's right. If your family eats these fifty taels, it will probably take you decades to finish them!"

The crowd was laughing at him for being so evil-minded.

Chen Shouren also asked Xie Zhili with a dark face: "Are you really asking for fifty taels? And you also want the prescription?"

Xie Zhili didn't dare to speak. Zhou Cuihong pinched him and said, "What's wrong with asking for fifty taels? Her family is doing business now and they are living such a good life. What's wrong with me asking for more? If I ask for more, my mother will live a better life with us. I think I asked for too little!"

"How shameless! Fifty taels is still not enough!"

"That's right. We farmers can eat frugally with one tael of silver, and the whole family can't finish it in a year. But she still thinks fifty taels is not enough. She's so proud, as if she has fifty taels..."

There was no need for Xie Jiaojiao to refute them, as someone had already taken up the responsibility of speaking for them.

Zhou Cuihong couldn't hold back her face, and she yelled at the people watching outside: "What does it have to do with you! This is my family's business, it's none of your business! You two are just trying to catch a rat, you have nothing to do with it!"

These words made the crowd watching the excitement very angry!

Xie Jiaojiao took a step forward, and Jiang Weinan was afraid that she would suffer a loss, so he stood in front of her.

Xie Jiaojiao looked at him in confusion, until she saw the worry in his eyes, and immediately smiled: "Don't worry, they haven't gotten any benefits from me yet, so don't interfere, lest you cause trouble for me."

After Xie Jiaojiao finished speaking, she pulled Jiang Weinan away, looked at Zhou Cuihong and said, "Zhou Cuihong, do you think you can get as much as I tell you to?"

Zhou Cuihong put her hands on her waist and said to Xie Jiaojiao in a serious manner: "Otherwise, don't forget, mom is at my house now!"

Xie Jiaojiao looked nonchalant, and smiled even happier than her: "If you like, you can raise her. I won't argue with you. But the money for the foster mother is only two coins. You can forget about the extra money."

The couple immediately became unwilling and walked up to the village chief, asking him to make the decision for them.

Xie Jiaojiao took out the original letter of severance from her bosom and handed it to Chen Shouren: "Village Chief, this letter of severance was written by you personally. It clearly states the amount of silver for severance."

Chen Shouren didn't need to open it to read, he remembered what he wrote very clearly.

Zhou Cuihong quit immediately.

"Village Chief, this doesn't count!"

"Why doesn't it count?" Xie Jiaojiao turned her head and looked at Zhou Cuihong.

"You all gave two cents each at the beginning, why do you think it doesn't count when it comes to me? Do you want me to give more? Or do you think I, Xie Jiaojiao, am easy to bully? Are you willing to be a sucker?"

Zhou Cuihong was about to speak, but the village chief said, "Come on, Zhou Cuihong, when you two families broke off the relationship, you only gave two cents. Xie Jiaojiao and her mother haven't broken off the relationship yet! You are both willing to give two cents, so what are you not satisfied with?"

"Village chief, how can this be the same? We gave two cents at the beginning because our family had no money. Xie Jiaojiao has money now, why can't we give more!"

Xie Zhili echoed: "That's right, Village Chief, if you only give me two cents of silver, I won't raise it!"

Just as he said this, Sun Ruhua came out from the crowd and just heard this sentence.
