Quick Transmigration: My System is a Big Liar

Chapter 57 Beautiful Young Widow X Rough Butcher 22

Du Yuejiao's direct retort left Shi Hu speechless, and she then turned her fire on Shi Cuihua.

"And you, a married woman, stop talking about your own family all the time. Your husband's family is your family. This is your elder brother's family matter. When did it become your place as a married sister to interfere?"

"Your elder brother raised you, and you not only don't know how to be grateful, but you also deliberately chose such an important day to cause trouble. Do you want your elder brother to grow old alone and then be your slave for the rest of his life?"

“This is a matter between my brother and sister, you have no right to speak.” Shi Cuihua was enraged that her secret had been exposed. She put the child down on the ground, ignored the child’s cries, and lunged at Du Yuejiao, intending to attack her.

She had never suffered such grievances before. Even though her parents had passed away early, her eldest brother never let her suffer the slightest grievance. After getting married, she would bring back large bags of gifts every time she returned to her parents' home. No one in her husband's family dared to offend her.

In her eyes, everything belonging to her elder brother was hers, and it was only right that her elder brother raised her; it was no right for a widow to lecture her.

The villagers pointed at Shi Hu and his sister, cursing them for being ungrateful and causing trouble on their own brother's wedding day.

Village Chief Shi frowned sinisterly. He never expected that such a heartless scoundrel would come from the Shi family.

Shi Xiao's heart turned cold after his younger brother and sister-in-law's outburst. He looked coldly at the sister he had raised, his face now filled with malice and greed, completely devoid of the obedient and sensible girl he remembered.

He stepped forward, shielding his wife behind him, and shoved away his sister who lunged at him. His sharp gaze fell on Shi Cuihua and Shi Hu. "I raised you from the age of four to fifteen, a full eleven years. I tried my best to fulfill all your requests, because Mother once said that the days a girl spends at her parents' home are the most relaxed and happiest in her life."

When you were fifteen, I asked the best matchmaker in town to find you a good husband, but what did you do? You insisted on marrying Sun Erhao, a man who couldn't lift a finger or do any heavy lifting. After the wedding, you would come back crying and asking for money every few days. In total, you owed more than ten taels of silver, and you didn't repay a single penny.”

"And you, Shi Hu, the things you did for your wife, the house you built, the dowry, the baby you had, even the things your wife brought back to her parents' home were all things I hunted in the mountains. What right do you have to point fingers at me here?"

"The money is mine. Even if I use it to get married, or even if I throw it away, it's none of your business. If you want money, go earn it yourself. Stop thinking about getting something for nothing."

"I believe I have done nothing wrong in the past ten years or so, and I have lived up to my parents' dying wish. You have grown up, started your own families, and have children. It is time for me to live my own life."

At this point, Shi Xiao paused, his gaze sweeping over everyone in the courtyard before settling on his younger siblings. "From now on, I am no longer your eldest brother. Our sibling relationship is severed today, witnessed by all of you uncles and elders. Otherwise, if any family has trouble in the future, they might blame us, and then there will truly be no peace."

Upon hearing Shi Xiao's words, the villagers discussed them animatedly, some in agreement and others in disagreement; there were all sorts of opinions.

Village Chief Shi and Aunt Wang agreed with Shi Xiao's actions, feeling that Shi Hu and his sister's behavior was too unseemly and they deserved it.

Shi Hu stared blankly at his elder brother in his wedding attire, unable to recover for a long time. It wasn't until his wife, Zhang Shi, pinched him hard that he snapped out of it, pointed at Du Yuejiao, and asked...

"Brother, you're going to sever ties with me for a widow? I'm your own brother!"

Snapped

Shi Xiao slapped Shi Hu across the face, glanced at the gossipy women, and declared, "If you don't want your finger, then point it again. From today onwards, she is my wife, the mother of my child. If I hear any more rumors, you'll be sorry!"

The women were quite frightened, thinking that Shi Xiao would never hit women. They had just breathed a sigh of relief when they heard Shi Xiao continue speaking.

“Although I don’t hit women, you also have husbands and sons. The debts of wives (mothers) are paid by fathers (sons), it’s the same.”

Some men felt a chill run down their spines, as if they were being watched by something, and were terrified. They thought about their wives' behavior and knew they had to give them a good talking-to when they got home.

The woman looked embarrassed and warned herself that she must never speak ill of Widow Du or Madam Du again.

Zhang Shi didn't believe her brother-in-law would harm Bao'er. She plopped down on the ground and wailed, "Bao'er's grandparents, open your eyes and see! Bao'er's uncle is actually disowning his sister-in-law for a widow who's brought bad luck to her husbands! Please show your spirits and persuade him!"

Ah ah

As soon as Zhang finished speaking, Shi Hu was beaten and screamed repeatedly. He lay on the ground for a long time, unable to get up. Bao'er was also frightened and cried loudly.

Qiu Niang leaned closer to Du Yuejiao and whispered a reminder that the auspicious time was almost over.

Du Yuejiao remembered that the auspicious time calculated by the geomancer was almost over, so she quickly stepped forward and said, "Keep howling! If you're not satisfied, I'll have someone take you to Bao'er's grandparents' graves to complain, how about that?"

When Zhang was a young woman, she was a stubborn and unyielding person. She refused to leave because she hadn't gotten any benefits. She had a wicked idea in her mind: once the auspicious time had passed, she would see how they would conduct their wedding ceremony. Even if they did go through with the ceremony, it wouldn't end well.

Thinking this, she ignored her crying son and screaming husband, and lay on the ground howling, "Grandpa and Grandma Bao'er, look! Your second son is about to be beaten to death by your eldest son! It's all because of this widow! She never says anything nice and always stirs things up!"

Du Yuejiao was too lazy to listen to her howling, so she directly ordered Qiu Niang to take her to the grave to file a complaint.

Without saying a word, Qiu Niang picked up Zhang Shi and left. Since she didn't know the exact location of the grave, a kind-hearted woman from the village immediately led the way to the Shi family's cemetery.

Zhang was taken away, Shi Hu was thrown out, and Shi Cuihua's family ran away in a sorry state with their child in their arms. The courtyard immediately returned to its previous liveliness.

After the wedding ceremony, Du Yuejiao was sent back to her room and drank the nuptial wine. Shi Xiao wanted to go to the kitchen to get food for his wife, but he was pulled out by his brothers of the same age in the village and forced to drink. He could only instruct Da Xi to deliver the food.

Shi Xiao is skilled in martial arts and has a righteous personality. He often leads the villagers to go hunting in the mountains. No matter who is in trouble, he will definitely help if he can. Most of the villagers came today because of him.

Others came for the lavish feast, like the Niu Tiegen family. They brought two coins, and all seven or eight members of the family ate. Their eating habits were like those of starving ghosts reincarnated, which was quite pitiful.

Niu Tiegen was even worse, staring at Shi Xiao and the other man with a sinister look in his eyes. Whenever Shi Xiao looked at him, he would quickly lower his head and not dare to meet his gaze.

Shi Xiao's peers had mostly children by now, and since he was getting married, these people certainly wouldn't let him off easily.

Even with the help of his cousins ​​from the Shi family to fend off the drinks, Shi Xiao still drank quite a bit.
