The sickly son died young? After the marriage exchange, I will bring prosperity to his entire clan f

Zhou was still hesitant. What way could a woman live after being divorced? Besides, she had a daughter whose marriage was not going well. The Ling family was already dissatisfied with her. Now that she was divorced, what way could her daughter live in her husband's family?

Seeing Zhou's attitude, Du Mingxian gave her a strong dose of medicine, "Mother, you have always felt guilty for not giving Father a son all these years, but while you are suffering like this, has Father ever cared for you or understood you?"

Zhou looked up abruptly, as if she didn't recognize her daughter, but her heart sank lower and lower. She knew that her husband was very dissatisfied with her and had beaten her in private over the years.

"My father has been having an affair with a widow in the village for a long time. He even wanted to marry her after she got pregnant so she could have a son. Over the years, my father has hit you quite a few times. Has he hit you the hardest after I got married?"

Thinking of Du Youtian's posture as if he wanted to beat her to death, Zhou felt dizzy and her vision blurred.

"Mother, if I stay any longer and go back to the Du family, I'm afraid I'll only see your corpse. Do you really want me to live alone in this world?"

"Grandma has been working tirelessly for years to find you, and she has never had a peaceful day. Now that they have come looking for you, don't you really care about Grandma's feelings?"

Du Mingxian felt that she had said enough, so she said softly, "Let's go out and not keep them waiting outside."

She wanted to hug Zhou Shi, but before she could even move, Xu Tingting had already picked Zhou Shi up. Xu Tingting wasn't as strong as Du Mingxian, but Zhou Shi's health had deteriorated over the years. She ate the least and did the most work in the family, and she was particularly light.

When Zhou was carried out, the crowd of onlookers outside immediately erupted in excitement.

"My God, is this Zhou Shi? What happened to her?"

"What else could it be? It must be because Zhou didn't give birth to a son. Now that her daughter is married, what meaning does Zhou have in this family? If Zhou dies, we can remarry with the land. The Du family is not short of money."

"That's right. I've been wondering why Zhou Shi hasn't had a son for so many years and hasn't taken any action even though she has land. But now that her daughter is getting married, she's taking action. It seems she still loves her daughter quite a bit."

Du Mingxian was stunned when she heard this. She had never thought about it before, but now it seemed that something was wrong.

Although the mother did not give birth to a son, the Du family had money. Although Du Youtian was not favored in the Du family, he was still their biological son, and the old man and woman of the Du family treated him fairly well.

Why didn't they just divorce his mother and let Du Youtian marry someone else?

It's strange to think about it. Why wait until she gets married to take action? Could the Du family have waited so many years because of their obsession with carrying on the family line?

Xu Dazhuang didn't care what others thought. With a dark face, he pointed at Zhou Shi and looked at Chief Du, "Come and see, is this just a petty squabble between husband and wife?"

“If my sister doesn’t leave this den of wolves soon, she’ll probably die here. We have to leave today no matter what.”

Xu Tingting chimed in, "Yes, my aunt wants to divorce her husband! My aunt wants to divorce her husband!"

Chief Du never expected the Du family to go so far this time. They couldn't even tell what kind of people they were. If they had been found any later, they probably would have been dead.

Thinking of this, his face immediately turned extremely ugly.

The village chief's face darkened. The Du family was very high-profile in the village because they had a blessed daughter who lived a much better life than other families in the village. They also pretended to be very kind on the surface.

But this...

"You injured Arita's wife?"

Du Youtian kept his head down and didn't say anything. He wanted to deny it, but with his daughter there, he definitely couldn't. If he didn't say anything, people would definitely guess why.

Yes, even though Du Youtian didn't say anything, people immediately stood up for him.

"Judging from Arita's appearance, could it be that he's been cheated on? He looks so aggrieved."

"It looks like it. Also, the Du family has never attacked the Zhou family in all these years, so why are they attacking now?"

There are all sorts of opinions, and everyone is speculating with the utmost malice.

Xu Tingting snorted coldly, "Hmph, you people are only afraid to tell the truth because you're from the same village as the Du family. Let me tell you, you can tell the truth, and I guarantee you'll be fine and you'll even make some money."

“I will give ten coins to anyone who comes out and tells me the truth, but it must be the truth.”

These words were suggestive, but when the villagers heard that there was money to be made, a woman immediately stood up and said, "I know that Zhou has not had a good life at home all these years. Back then, both Zhou and her sister-in-law were pregnant, but because Zhou was a month late, she had to do everything, which led to her premature birth."

“Premature birth is one thing, but Zhou had to go back to work in the fields the day after giving birth, but her sister-in-law didn’t have to. They both gave birth to daughters, so the difference in treatment is too obvious.”

Xu Tingting immediately clapped her hands, "Auntie, you're right, I'll give you some money."

The woman had only asked on a whim, but to her surprise, there was actually silver. She immediately jumped out and said, "I have a lot more."

“There are only ten coins per person, but since you’re the first one to say so, I’ll give you two extra coins.” As she spoke, Xu Tingting actually took out some money and gave the aunt twelve coins.

When real money is in hand, who wouldn't be tempted? Immediately, many people jumped out. Although each person only received ten coins, it was equivalent to half a day's wages for an adult. It was easy to earn money by saying a few words. Who couldn't do that?

"I, I know."

"I know too."

"I'll go first."

Everyone eagerly volunteered to speak, but Xu Tingting waved her hand and said, "You can't repeat what others have already said. Repeated answers don't count. Now, raise your hands, and whoever is called on is the one who gets to speak."

The scene suddenly became lively. Things that the villagers hadn't paid attention to before were now being talked about, and everyone felt that something was wrong.

Each one talked more than the last.

In the end, they seemed to be losing control.

Xu Tingting was almost out of money, but many people outside had already received their money.

Just then, someone shouted, "Hey, Da Niu and Fu Nu are coming!" The crowd automatically parted to make way for them.

Wu Daniu and Du Mingwei walked over. Du Mingwei's face was full of anger, while Wu Daniu's face didn't show anything, but his eyes lingered on Du Mingxian for a while.

After Wu Daniu and his wife entered the courtyard, he stepped forward first and asked, "Village chief, are you just going to watch outsiders bully our own people?"

"Who are you?" Xu Tingting shouted arrogantly.

Wu Daniu frowned and ignored her, while Du Mingwei directly turned her attention to Du Mingxian, "Mingxian, is this the person you brought back? Even if you get married, you can't forget your roots. How can you bring outsiders back to bully your family?"

Xu Tingting stepped forward and blocked Du Mingxian's path, raising her hand to slap Du Mingwei. "Are you out of your mind, woman? You come up here and say my cousin is wrong. It seems you've bullied my cousin quite a bit before."

Du Mingwei had never been hit before in her life. Xu Tingting's slap stunned her. When she came to her senses and tried to hit back, Xu Tingting slapped her again.

Enraged, Du Mingwei rushed forward to hit Xu Tingting. Wu Daniu stepped forward and pulled Du Mingwei away, ready to strike Xu Tingting as well. Xu Dazhuang, exuding a menacing aura, stood in front of Xu Tingting, his voice icy, "What do you want to do?"
