Locked: God is the matchmaker, neither you nor I can escape

Everyone looked at the two people sitting on the ground crying, without any sympathy, only contempt.

Five taels of silver is indeed a lot of money, but it is more than enough for a family to save five taels a year, especially since they only have one little girl who can't do much work, while everyone else can go to the fields to work.

But their three sons were all idle hooligans in the village, especially the third son, who was spoiled by his wife Li Laizi and became lawless. When he saw other children had food in their hands, he would snatch it.

Although the eldest and second sons are not so shameless, they are idle all day long and often wander around the county, and no one knows what they do.

The only one who has to work is the fourth child, a teenage girl. She is busy at home and outside. The eight-year-old fifth child also has to help her sister with the work. The family treats their daughters like slaves.

Seeing their parents sitting on the ground crying, none of the five children came forward.

The two little girls were frightened by Yan Yiyi's method and hid far away. No one noticed that when they peeked at Yan Yiyi, there was admiration in their eyes, as if she had defeated not their parents but the devil, and she was their hero.

The third brother was still in pain from the kick he had just received. When he saw Yan Yiyi, he ran as far away from her as possible as if she were a ghost.

The eldest and second oldest sons stood by and watched as if they were outsiders. They didn't seem to have any feelings for their parents, so when they were being taught a lesson by Yan Yiyi just now, they didn't even think of helping.

When Old Man Li and the others saw this scene, they felt so ashamed. Whether for the sake of their own reputation or to prevent the second son from having his legs broken and thus being blamed on them, he stood up and came over to apologize to Yan Yiyi and his wife.

"Yan, Li Que... Young men of the Li family, I'm sorry, we didn't teach them well. We will definitely teach them well in the future. Please forgive them this time."

Yan Yiyi curled her lips and smiled, "Hey~ Old man Li, do you think your light words of apology are worth five taels of silver? Haha, what were you doing earlier? You only remember to teach your son and daughter-in-law now."

It means she doesn't forgive.

Old man Li's face sank. He didn't expect that he had to come down to apologize to a junior, but she was so shameless?

"Yan, you can beat eight or ten people by yourself, but I can ask other relatives to help. My eldest daughter-in-law's family has dozens of uncles and aunts, and my third daughter-in-law's family also has dozens of people. Are you sure you want to be our enemy?" Old man Li threatened in a low voice.

Others couldn't hear what he said clearly, but Xin Ye heard it. He was stunned and thought about whether he should chop the old man to pieces after putting his wife to sleep at night.

Yan Yiyi didn't expect that even after she had shown off her skills, he still dared to threaten her. It turned out that this old man was not a good person, otherwise how could he give birth to such a thing.

She deliberately raised her voice to ensure that many villagers could hear clearly: "Wow~ A father-in-law actually has to rely on the support of his two daughters-in-law's families. This is the first time I have heard of such a funny story of unity and friendship!

All right! I want to see how many of them can take a beating.

You are right. I can beat eight or ten people by myself, provided that they are also trained fighters. Wouldn't it be ten times as hard to fight against a group of reckless men like you?

Is that the way it is?"

When everyone heard that Old Man Li wanted his daughter-in-law to go back to her parents' home for help, there was an uproar. The eldest daughter-in-law of Li Laoda was stunned, and even the third daughter-in-law of Li Laosan, who had been hiding in the room, couldn't help but stick her head out to see the face of her father-in-law at the moment.

Yan Yiyi smiled coldly: "Your second son's family has no money, don't you two old people have some money for a coffin? You are reluctant to spend money, why should I lose money?

Oh, by the way, if it really doesn't work, your second son and daughter-in-law should be able to be sold for five taels of silver. You can take them to the pawnshop to ask.

I also heard from the magistrate in the yamen before that kidnapping and selling people is illegal, but parents selling their children is not illegal. I don’t understand the daughter-in-law, but this is a problem that you and your second daughter-in-law’s family should solve.”

In fact, parents cannot sell their children openly if they are married and have separated from their families.

But some women, especially divorced women, would be sold to other men. It was just considered normal marriage and the government had no way to manage it, unless they were sold to a regular marriage brokerage firm and there was physical evidence, then the government could handle it.

Yan Yiyi was just bullying them because they were poorly educated and didn't know the law, and he even used the magistrate as an excuse. Anyway, if you ask him, the law clearly states that it is not illegal for parents to sell their children.

Her words shocked all the villagers present. Only the village chief, who had been educated and had enough knowledge, knew that her words were false, but he did not dare to expose her. Firstly, he was afraid of being retaliated by her, and secondly, he wanted to see what she was up to.

He finally understood that Yan was a skilled and intelligent person, and he could not defeat her, so it was better to avoid provoking her. Besides, she was not someone who would beat anyone she saw, and it was bad luck for Li Laizi's family to provoke this ancestor.

Moreover, Li Laizi's family really needs to be taught a lesson. They are almost grandparents, but they are still so out of touch and bring shame to the mountain village.

"I have no money!" Upon hearing that her coffin was going to be moved, Old Lady Li immediately jumped up and retorted, looking at Li Laizi and his wife. Her eyes were very clear and her meaning was self-evident.

Li Laizi met his mother's angry and disgusted eyes, and his heart skipped a beat. He looked at the village chief and stopped pretending to cry. He asked quickly: "Village chief, is what she said true? Will my parents sell me out?"

The village chief neither nodded nor shook his head, and replied: "The law does clearly state that parents have the right to sell their children, but no one else can do so, not even grandparents, uncles, or aunts."

He deliberately did not give a direct answer to Li Laizi's words. Yan Yiyi was quite surprised and glanced at the village chief. This old man was capable.

Li Laizi's mind was working very fast at this time. He got up and said, "I am already old and can't sell for much money. My eldest and second sons are young and strong. Their prices should not be low, right?"

The village chief glanced at the two young men who already had gloomy faces, and then looked at Li Laizi with disdain in his heart: "I am not a dentist, how do I know?"

Haha, do you really think that the eldest and second eldest sons in his family are as useless as him?

Li Laizi's eldest son and second son looked at each other tacitly, and their original intention of giving their savings to their parents suddenly cooled.

"Brother, let's go. There's no need to come back."

"Well, we'll leave a tael of silver tonight as our last act of kindness. If we meet again in the future, whether they're dead or alive has nothing to do with us."

"Yeah, that's what I thought too."

No one else could hear the brothers' whispering, but the sharp-eyed and sharp-eared Xin Ye heard every word of their conversation.

They just talked about how they treated their parents, but didn't discuss what to do to her.

Yan Yiyi curled her lips and looked at the two brothers with some admiration. After they left, they probably wouldn't meet again. As long as they didn't provoke her, he wouldn't bother with them. After all, this matter had nothing to do with them.
