After the marriage was broken off, the husband's family regretted it

Wang Ba said to Zhao Di, "I don't like either of your two daughters. Don't you see what they look like? I wouldn't even want them if they were my shoes. I'm telling you. I will take your two daughters away and sell them for a good price. I'll also take your pear blossoms. If you really can't find any pear blossoms, just give me two hundred taels of silver."

Zhaodi: "Son-in-law, you took my two daughters away and you still want two hundred taels of silver. Aren't you too cruel?"

Wang Ba: "Do you think I am as evil as you? Lihua's betrothal gift is one hundred taels of silver. Go and ask around. You can find a family that wants one hundred taels of silver. Maybe your family is the only one. I didn't even tell you the price before I gave you the silver. My mother, I'm not good to you."

Wang Ba's younger brother then came up to him with the valuables from Zhaodi's family and said, "Brother, these are the only valuables we have. We don't have anything else. This family is still a little bit richer than the average family. Look at you, brother. These are all good things. We also have a lot of flour and rice at home."

I was very happy at this time. White flour and white rice are precious things, and I rarely get to eat them.

Wang Ba was very happy to see these things: "It's indeed OK, but the quantity is a little small. This is not satisfactory."

Younger brother: "I think so too, Boss. Look at that girl next to you. Aren't you going to sell her? Why don't you give her to me? I beat my wife to death a while ago. I just need someone to do my laundry and cooking for me. I think this girl is pretty good. Although she's a little ugly, she should still be able to do laundry and cooking. I won't feel bad if she's beaten to death."

The fifth child was the most timid. When he heard these words, he fainted immediately.

When the fourth brother saw all this, he felt as if he had died. It seemed that he had no way to escape today.

Zhaodi saw this scene and regretted it very much. Why did she provoke these people? She was simply asking for trouble. If she wanted money, why didn't she just sell Lihua to a brothel? Now, she didn't keep the money, and there would be endless trouble in the future.

Wang Ba: "My mother, tell me, what should we do now? The things my little brother has looted are not worth 200 taels of silver at all. Your fourth and fifth sons are the interest for compensation. Now we are still short of 190 taels of silver."

When Zhaodi heard this, she became even more angry because she realized that so many things were only worth 10 taels of silver in the eyes of this bully.

"I have neither money nor life. If you kill me, my eldest daughter will not let you go. I am not afraid of those with shoes when I am barefoot. I am not afraid of anything now. Besides, you have a backer, and I have a backer too. Wang Ba, let me tell you, if you don't take the fourth and fifth girls with you, I have said that I will not ask whether they are dead or alive after you take them away."

"The other option is, I'll return the 2 taels of silver to you, but you definitely can't even think about the two girls."

Wang Ba looked at Zhao Di and punched her directly: "Old woman, I spoke to you in a nice way, but you didn't listen. Don't think I don't know what you are thinking. You want to take advantage of me, Wang Ba, but there is no way. Now everyone in the village knows that my future wife ran away. Where can I put my face?"

"I'm telling you, I'm the only one who takes advantage of others, and no one takes advantage of me. You old woman don't know what's good for you, brothers, beat him up. Don't kill him, it's okay to cripple him, if that doesn't work, just pay me some silver. I don't believe that the hundred taels of silver I have won't be enough to pay for your medicinal herbs."

"Old brother, you still have a precious son, right? If you don't give me the money, I will ask your son for it. I heard that you still need a house in town, which is also worth a lot of money. It happens that I don't have a house in town, and I also want to have one."

As Wang Ba spoke, his younger brother greeted Zhaodi with his fists.

Zhaodi was in so much pain from the snoring that she just kept moaning.

At this time, Guangzong, who was hiding outside the door, saw the scene inside the house and immediately ran to find the village chief.

When the village chief heard what Guangzong said, he was shocked and immediately arranged for someone to go to the town to call the yamen runners.

The village chief said, "Guangzong, you should hide here for a while. This is all your mother's fault. If she hadn't coveted other people's money, how could they have bothered her? Besides, your mother is the same. How could she find a husband for Lihua? She is simply asking for trouble, my God."

Guangzong cried and said, "Village Chief, you must save my mother. My mother is being beaten now."

The village chief said: "It's been so long. Do we dare to go to these people? We will be beaten if we go. It's better to wait for the officials to come."

Not long after, the government did come, and they brought the government officials to Zhaodi's house. When they pushed the door open, they saw Zhaodi lying on the bed dying, and the fourth and fifth sons hid in the corner and watched their mother being beaten.

Guangzong stepped forward and slapped the fourth and fifth sons: "You two losers, you see mother being beaten like this. Don't you know how to help mother? Mother is in this state now, it's all because of you two losers."

Wang Ba looked at the scene in front of him and said with a smile: "You, a grown man, don't dare to save her, and you even beat your darling. It seems that you are also a good person."

Wang Ba watched all this with a smile, and found it very funny. Although he was not a good person, he was not as shameless as the man in front of him.

Everyone was stunned when they saw this scene, and even the yamen runners couldn't help but tremble when they heard this.

Wang Ba: "My fellow officials, it is only natural to pay back debts. We have not done anything out of line. The reason is that this old woman owed us two hundred taels of silver, and she couldn't pay it back, so she wanted to use her two girls to pay off the debt."

"Sir, look, we are all men. Do you think these two girls are worth 2 taels of silver?"

The yamen runner glanced at Lao Si and Lao Wu, his mouth twitching. He did not speak, choosing to remain silent.

Wang Ba: "Look, old fellow, it's not me who thinks your two girls are not worth it, it's everyone who thinks they are not worth it."

Guangzong: "Then you can't hit anyone. My mother is dying now."

Wang Ba: "Isn't he still alive? I said, if my conditions are met, I will leave immediately. Otherwise, you give me 200 taels of silver, and I have nothing to say. I will also give you the money for your mother's medicine. 20 taels is enough, right?"
