Farmer's wife: My husband came back and the house was in chaos

"The extra one or two taels are your eldest brother's wages. He was taking care of Mingchuan those days and didn't go to work. Not only did he lose his job, but even his wages were deducted. You have to pay for it."

Yao Qingnian was speechless for a moment...

"Ge! What nonsense are you talking about? Get back here!"

Lu Minghai walked into the yard angrily.

"You came at the right time. I didn't say anything nonsense. It's only natural to pay back a debt!"

"Don't you know what's going on at your brother's house? Why do you have to come and make trouble at this time? What the hell! Come back with me now."

"No, I won't leave if I can't get the money today!"

Mrs. Ge sat on the stool, looking like she was asking, "What can you do to me?"

"You! Are you going to leave or not?!"

"I won't leave. I'm still waiting for the money."

Lu Minghai stepped forward and grabbed Ge's arm, dragging her out. Ge refused and scratched and bit him. For a while, the two of them started to wrestle in the yard.

Liu Shuyue hurried forward to separate the fight.

"Oh my! I can't live like this! I don't pay back the money I owe you! And I get beaten up. Why is my life so miserable? I married such an incompetent man..."

Mrs. Ge simply rolled on the ground and threw a tantrum.

"Ge, if you make trouble again I will divorce you!"

"Try to take a break. I don't care if you want to support your brother, but you can't ignore the future of my family and the life and death of Shuangshuang, wuwuwu..."

There were not many entertainment activities in ancient times. People would go to sleep after meals. The noise here attracted the attention of the neighbors, and everyone stood outside the door to watch the fun.

"Mingchuan gave us the house and didn't take a penny from home. Why didn't you tell us when he started his own business?! Ge, tell me honestly, how much did Mingchuan help us when he was still alive?"

Everyone in the village knew about this, and at the beginning everyone praised the two brothers for their good relationship.

"He did it voluntarily. I didn't force him!"

Ge climbed up in a panic and began to sob in grievance again.

"Everyone, let's be fair. When the second son broke his leg in the mountains, it was his eldest brother who risked his life to rescue him, and spent money and effort to get him treated. In the end, he lost his job and his wages were deducted. Now, my family needs money urgently, but their family is living a luxurious life. What's wrong with me coming here to ask for money?!"

The villagers thought that what she said made sense. Why should brothers settle accounts clearly?

"Sister-in-law, don't talk nonsense. When have we ever had a good life? We didn't say we wouldn't pay you back. You know Mingchuan's situation. We really can't afford it..."

"I heard that Yao Qingnian still has a dowry with you. It's not money, right?"

I don't know where Ge learned about the dowry and came up with this idea.

"Sister-in-law! We will find a way to give you the money, so please stop making trouble."

"Yao Qingnian, that bitch, spent all her family's money on food and drink. What's wrong with using her dowry to pay off her debts?"

Ge was aggressive.

"That's her dowry. Our Lu family can't afford to lose this person!"

"Hey, sister-in-law, you feel ashamed now? Then why don't you return the money?"

Ge got up and pushed Liu Shuyue to the corner. Liu Shuyue lost his balance and almost fell down. Yao Qingnian quickly caught him.

"I respect you as my elder and call you aunt, and you are taking advantage of me?"

"Can't I say a few words to you?"

Yao Qingnian showed no emotion at all, his face was cold, and he grabbed the broom in the corner.

"You keep calling me a bitch, I've put up with you for so long."

There was a flash of panic in Ge's eyes.

"Why, do you still want to hit me?"

When Yao Qingnian goes mad, he won't recognize any relatives and might really attack her. Ge quickly stepped back a few steps.

"It was you who hit!"

Yao Qingnian picked up the broom and hit Ge. In everyone's mind, she was known to be cruel and ruthless, beating children and insulting her parents-in-law. The villagers were no longer surprised that she beat her aunt.

Anyway, the original owner's reputation was like that, so this time it didn't matter.

"Murder! Beating an elder, Yao Qingnian, you bitch, why don't you stop it! Help!"

Ge was beaten so hard that she jumped up and down, and no one dared to step forward to stop her. Yao Qingnian stopped only when he was tired.

"It just so happens that so many fellow villagers have come. Please be a witness."

Yao Qingnian took out five taels of silver from her pocket. Yes, it was the silver that Li Rouer sold her for.

"Aunt, you said that my father's treatment cost four taels, and uncle's delayed wages for saving my father was one tael, right?"

This Yao Qingnian was really insidious. He specifically targeted her weak and private parts. Ge was angry but could not say anything.

"What? The wages are one tael of silver. Ordinary people only make about 500 wen a month. He's my own brother. How dare you ask for that! You want to charge me for doing a favor?"

Tsk tsk! The villagers were whispering below and pointing at Ge.

"What's wrong with one or two taels? After all the hard work, it's not worth one or two taels?"

Mrs. Ge held her waist and cried out in pain, thinking that this was natural.

This Ge family, doesn't even consider the situation of Lu Mingchuan's family. They are even more cruel than outsiders and are taking advantage of others' misfortune.

Lu Minghai was overwhelmed.

"Mingchuan, sister-in-law, I gave you that money. You don't have to pay it back. You didn't take anything at the beginning. Just consider it as the separation fee. I will take your sister-in-law back now!"

"I don't agree, the money must be returned!"

"Go back!"

Lu Minghai was furious and slapped Ge in the face. After being beaten repeatedly, Ge slapped Lu Minghai back.

He was a grown man, but was beaten by his wife in front of the villagers. He wished he could find a hole to crawl into.

"Uncle, we will return the five taels of silver. You helped my father when he was in trouble. Our whole family is grateful to you. Today, in front of everyone, I will return the silver. We owe each other nothing."

Yao Qingnian threw the silver to Ge in front of everyone.

Everyone's eyes flashed with surprise. What was Yao Qingnian doing? Paying back the money?! She actually took out her own private money to pay off Lu Mingchuan's debt?

"Yao Qingnian, you..."

Lu Minghai paused at the point of speaking.

"Brother, you take it!"

Lu Mingchuan knew that his elder brother was a good person, he just hated himself for being a useless waste.

When she saw the silver, Ge's eyes lit up. She ignored the pain and held the silver tightly in her hand.

"Why didn't you take it out earlier? Why did you make so much trouble? Humph! Yao Qingnian, just wait for me!"

Ge was afraid that the silver she had obtained would slip away, so she quickly put it in her arms and slipped away.

Seeing that there was nothing exciting to watch, everyone went home and went to sleep.

Lu Minghai was so ashamed that he said, "Mingchuan, it's because I'm incompetent that you guys have been wronged."

"Brother, what are you talking about? If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be where I am today."

"Uncle, sit down and eat with us! I'll get you something good."

Yao Qingnian turned around and went back to the house.
