"Zhao Fengnian, did you see it with your own eyes? Or was it Dad? Did you see it with your own eyes again?"
Zhao Fengnian pursed his lips: "I heard it from others. If you haven't done it, who can say anything about you?"
Zhao Mancai was furious when he heard this. He pushed Old Lady Tian aside and was about to hit Zhao Huanxi again, but Zhao Huanxi dodged him. Seeing that she dared to hide, he immediately shouted angrily:
"How dare you quibble? You've brought shame upon my family. Come on! Come back with me and stop embarrassing yourself here."
"Why? I eat well and sleep well here. I go back just because you tell me to. What's the matter? Are you going to sell me out again?" Zhao Huanxi was also furious.
"How dare you talk like that! I'm your father!"
"Humph! You just listened to what Tan Li said and then came up to slander me without knowing right from wrong. If you weren't my father, I would have reported you to the police and had you both arrested!"
Da Sun, who was standing nearby, secretly invited the village chief, and Xu Qingzhao also came with him.
"Brother Zhao, I am the village chief of Dashi Village. Huanxi did not commit any of the seven offenses for divorce. Why did you drown him in the pond?"
"She..." Zhao Mancai was about to tell people about Huanxi's mistake that he had heard about, but when he looked at the crowd watching the excitement around him, he felt a little hesitant.
"She committed adultery and stole money. Isn't that enough?" Zhao Fengnian next to him said, he didn't care about Zhao Huanxi's face.
"Who is this?" Xu Qingzhao asked. She mentally made a note of this young man.
"This is my son, Zhao Fengnian." Zhao Manycai spoke of his son with great pride, and did not think there was anything wrong with what Zhao Fengnian said.
The village chief was also confused. He didn't think Zhao Yatou was that kind of person. There must be some misunderstanding.
"There must be some misunderstanding here. Let's go to my house and talk it over."
The village chief looked at Zhao Huanxi with some sympathy. Now half of Zhao Huanxi's face was swollen, and he looked at Old Lady Tian with some grievance.
"Your father must have heard some crazy things from somewhere. Don't be afraid, everything will be explained clearly soon." Old Mrs. Tian comforted.
"Thank you, mother."
Xu Qingzhao's eyes were about to stare a hole through the father and son.
Now the village chief has taken the father and son to his home.
Zhao Mancai looked around as he walked. This village was much richer than Shili Village. Although most of the houses were still adobe, there were quite a few blue brick houses on the road.
Their Shili Village was still full of low earthen and straw houses, but now when they look at other villages, they are filled with envy.
After they entered the village chief's main hall and Mrs. Sun served the tea, Zhao Fengnian drank it in one gulp without even saying thank you.
The village chief sat down and asked the two men, "Where did you hear these rumors? Huanxi is a good girl, and we can all vouch for her."
Zhao Mancai always felt inferior to others, so his tone of voice softened:
"Brother, you don't know, when I got home yesterday, I saw..." Zhao Mancai told everything he heard clearly.
"Yesterday, Brother Xu and I ran into each other in town. We had to ride in a bullock cart together. I met Aunt Tan and exchanged a few words. I didn't expect her to frame me like this when she returned."
Zhao Huanxi covered half of his face, thinking about how to take revenge on that foul-tongued Aunt Tan.
The village chief slowly explained to Zhao Mancai the whole story of Huanxi's divorce. Zhao Mancai didn't show any pain on his face after listening to it. On the contrary, he looked a little disgusted.
"After all, she's a divorced woman. It's not appropriate for her to live in this village now."
Even if Zhao Huanxi divorced, so what? He was her father. He could take her back and remarry her. He could earn some money and then get married next year when there was a good harvest.
"It's really unfortunate. I have already registered my household here. The county magistrate, Lord Jiang, personally approved the seal for me. Even if you are my father, there is nothing you can do." Zhao Huanxi rolled his eyes.
What a hellish life the original owner had lived before, how come all the people he met were top-notch?
Just look at her brother, all fat, with a mouth full of yellow teeth, and that look he gave people. I want to vomit.
"you……"
"Isn't it just setting up a household? I can just ask Lord Jiang for help." Zhao Fengnian's tone was full of disdain.
"How capable are you to invite Lord Jiang? I think you've eaten too much piss."
Zhao Huanxi couldn't help but curse. She had spent twenty taels of silver to get the household registered, and this fat guy actually thought it was that easy.
Zhao Fengnian was speechless after being silenced by Huanxi. The market in their Shili Village was usually held in Gaoma Town on the other side, which was much smaller than Rongshan Town. There was no public county government there, only a village head pavilion to manage public security.
Not to mention Lord Jiang, he didn't even know what the gate of the county government office looked like.
Seeing that the two sides were beginning to escalate the situation, the village chief hurried to ease the atmosphere:
"Now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, why don't you go over to Huanxi's house? Her family's been busy lately..."
"My home is just two shabby thatched houses. There is no room for two big Buddhas like you. Please go back."
Zhao Huanxi didn't want these two people to know that his family was building a new house, so he quickly interrupted the village chief.
"What? Your father has been traveling all day, and he can't even come to your house to drink a sip of water? I think you gave birth to this daughter in vain!"
"That's right, I've never seen you act like a daughter like this."
"Yeah, I've never seen a father like this. He beats his daughter as soon as they meet. He's really arrogant." Zhao Huanxi didn't tolerate it and continued:
"If you had come here and asked clearly, I wouldn't have wronged you. If you hadn't told me, I would have invited you over. But you just started beating me without any reason. Haha, go back to where you came from. I won't see you off. Mom, let's go back."
After saying this, Zhao Huanxi thanked the village chief, helped Old Lady Tian out the door.
The remaining few people looked at each other in confusion.
Zhao Huanxi knew that these two people would not let it go like this, but he came in a hurry and was not prepared, so he received such a slap in vain.
I have to go back quickly and hide the valuables at home.
When they returned, Liu and several other women had already arrived at their home. Seeing that there were only a few children in the house, they sat in the yard waiting.
Zhao Huanxi took out the food he was going to use, and secretly took a few children with him to move the valuables from the thatched hut into the new house.
On the other side, Zhao Mancai and his son came out of the village chief's house.
A timid old woman was standing in the corner, looking out. When she saw the father and son, she immediately ran up to them and pretended to be friendly and said to them:
"You're the Zhao girl's father, right? Let me tell you, your daughter is incredible! I don't know what she did to make such a fortune! You don't know, she built a three-story house with blue bricks and large tiled roofs! Even when she recruited workers in the village, they were paying fifty cents a day!"
The old woman who was speaking was Zhang Yanzi. She felt that her current situation was caused by that bitch Zhao Huanxi.
Moreover, she had been watching from a distance from the beginning. When she saw the old man actually beat Zhao Huanxi, God knows how relieved she felt.
"What? She doesn't manage the household and doesn't know how expensive food, oil, salt and firewood are, right? She actually dares to offer such a high price." Zhao Mancai felt that his daughter was too ignorant. She didn't know how to contribute to the family with the money she earned, but gave it to outsiders.
"Dad, I think she's grown up. Let's go and take a look."
Zhao Fengnian's calculations were all over the place. That woman had always been soft-hearted. If he threatened her, wouldn't she have to give up her family property? Then he wouldn't have to serve that crazy woman in bed anymore, and he could marry a beautiful woman. Just thinking about it made it seem like a piece of cake.
Seeing how well they were getting along, Mrs. Zhang said courteously, "Her house is just halfway up the slope. You don't know, she's very wealthy. She's bought over ten acres of land, and even her servants are adorned with gold and silver."
As he spoke, he pointed the two of them in a direction, and they rushed to Zhao Huanxi's house without stopping.
