Chapter 52

Ning Qiyue looked at her with a smile on her face, "Sister, I will treat you as my own sister."

"Okay, okay." As she said that, Li Shufen shed tears again.

After dinner, Mrs. Li, Li Zhizhao and Li Zhiyan went to Zhang's house together.

Zhang's shop is the same as Li's shop, with a shop in the front and a residence in the back.

But the Zhang family's shop is not big, with only three rooms.

When Mrs. Zhang saw them coming, her face suddenly turned pale. After Zhang Quan returned home, he had already told her what happened today.

"Hey, what kind of wind is blowing you here?" Mrs. Zhang said in a strange tone.

Mrs. Li snorted and mocked back: "Aren't you asking knowingly?"

"Shouldn't you be clear about what we're here to do?"

"Stop pretending to be stupid. It's boring to talk too much. Return my Shufen's dowry."

When Mrs. Zhang heard that she dared to ask for the dowry, she jumped up immediately: "You are a Mrs. Li, you don't know how to teach your daughter, and you can't control your own man's heart."

"Now you have deceived my stupid son into getting divorced, and you've come here to ask for a dowry!"

"Your daughter is very thoughtful and scheming. She even tricked me into becoming famous on our wedding night."

As soon as Mrs. Zhang said these words, Li Shufen's eyes suddenly turned red: "That thing was Zhang Quan's finger. I saw a piece of cloth on the bed and wiped his blood."

"Now that I think about it, he had already planned it. Knowing that I didn't understand human affairs, he wanted to lie to me."

"The Zhang family really makes me feel sick. Zhang Quan had an affair with someone else and gave birth to a child. Why can't I get divorced?"

"Moreover, Zhang Quan made peace with me voluntarily. He wanted to give Widow Liu a status, so he made peace with me. What does it have to do with me?"

Mrs. Zhang didn't want to hear this, she scolded angrily: "Your mother's family opened a New Year's shop, why didn't you tell us?"

"Now our shop has a backlog of goods and no one comes to visit it. You are really good at disguising it!"

Li Shufen was stunned when Mrs. Zhang said this. What does it mean that she pretended to be good enough?
"I only found out today that my parents' family has opened a shop. I stay in the shop every day. When have I ever gone out?"

"Don't say that you don't have all these things. Now that we are divorced, get out of here. You want a dowry, but you don't have one!" Mrs. Zhang snorted coldly, obviously she wanted to deduct the dowry.

Mrs. Li started scolding her directly, attracting many onlookers.

"Mr. Zhang, you are really shameless."

"It's obviously your son who broke the shoes with that Widow Liu. My daughter has been married for so long and she is still a yellow flower."

"No one believes what I say. Zhang Quan, you coward, get out of here!"

"You, a black-hearted little bastard, deceived my Shufen and even wanted to steal her dowry."

Zhang Quan finally came out under Mrs. Li's scolding.

"Pfft." As soon as the man came out, he knelt in front of Mrs. Li.

"Mom, all the mistakes you made are my fault. Please advise me not to divorce me."

"I will definitely treat her well in the future. If she is willing to change her mind, I will consummate her marriage as soon as possible and give birth to a fat boy for you to hold."

"Thank you." Mrs. Li sneered.

The onlookers burst into laughter.

Someone shouted: "Zhang family, please pay back the dowry quickly."

"That's right, don't your family want to open a shop in Qingquan Town in the future?"

"You can't see it when you look up. If your family refuses to pay back someone's dowry, it shows that they are not good people."

"Who will dare to come to her house to buy things in the future?"

"Even if you deduct dowry from someone's daughter, you can do this kind of thing."

The neighbors of the Zhang family couldn't help but mocked: "It's not surprising, isn't this normal? I'm afraid this dowry will be gone a long time ago!"

"What?" Someone was curious.

The neighbor ignored Mrs. Zhang's dark face and continued, "You don't know, this Mrs. Zhang did this a few years ago." "He stole the eldest daughter-in-law's dowry and sold it for free."

"Later, the eldest daughter-in-law discovered her and made a big fuss. They almost divorced. Now the couple goes to live with the mother-in-law's family."

"I haven't been back for almost three years."

Everyone who heard it was stunned: "Drink, good guy, it turns out he is a habitual criminal."

"No!" The neighbor nodded seriously.

Mrs. Li put her hands on her hips, pointed at Mrs. Zhang and said, "Let me tell you, I brought the list. If my daughter's dowry is missing anything, I won't let you go."

"What are you going to do!" Mrs. Zhang looked at Mrs. Li in panic.

Mrs. Li said: "Either you return the dowry to me, or you convert the dowry into silver and return it to us."

"Either I go to the pavilion chief to accuse you of the Zhang family. If the pavilion chief can't do anything to you, I'll go to the county or the capital. There will always be someone who can deal with you!"

Seeing Mrs. Li's determination, Mrs. Zhang pursed her lips and finally spoke.

"How much is your dowry in total?"

"Twelve taels of silver!"

Li Shufen also didn't expect that her mother would prepare so much dowry for her.

Mrs. Zhang almost jumped up and spilled the beans: "When I sold those things, I only got more than five taels, why so much!"

"If you don't believe it, I'll ask the director of the pavilion to testify!" As soon as Mrs. Li said this, Mrs. Zhang spread the news again.

In the end, she reluctantly and painfully took out ten taels of silver.

Mrs. Li took the money and was about to leave, but Zhang Quan knelt in front of them again: "Shufen, don't leave. I will really change my ways. Please."

"I said it in the Yamen. It's so easy for me to get out of this fire pit like yours. There's no way I can jump in again."

"Do you have to be so decisive?!" Zhang Quan looked at Li Shufen with scarlet eyes.

Li Zhizhao pulled Li Shufen behind him, and Han pointed at him and cursed: "Why, do you still want to threaten in public?"

"Coward." Seeing him lowering his head again, Han sneered unceremoniously.

Zhang Quan clenched his fist tightly, and Mrs. Zhang cried and asked him to get up.

Zhang Quan stood up, glared at Li Shufen and cursed: "You are so shameless, but I want to see who will marry the broken shoes I threw away."

"Don't be deceived by this woman. She has already consummated the marriage with me." Zhang Quan's words immediately caused a sigh of relief.

Just now, I cried and begged my mother-in-law to live a good life with her.

Now that people don’t want to be fooled anymore, they’ve started to smear it.

This family is really shameless.

Zhang Quan and his son did not expect that the business of the grocery store, which was already not very good, would become even worse because of this incident.

In the end, the mother and son did not reflect on themselves and attributed the poor business to the Li family's troubles.

In a flash, it’s the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month.

After today, the Li family will also close their business and return to the village.

Basically everyone in the village knew that the Li family opened a shop in the town.

Originally, I wanted to see the Li family's jokes, but unexpectedly, the Li family's shop was booming, and even Erniu Niang hadn't returned to the village for a long time.

That afternoon, Ye Hongyang's new year's goods also arrived.

Because Ning Qiyue asked Qi Ling to send them New Year's goods, Ye Hongyang also took the opportunity to ask Qi Ling to bring over the prepared New Year's goods.

Qi Ling was also happy to help with the errands. She got into a room and released the new year's goods prepared by Ye Hongyang.

Food, drink and clothing are all available.

"Yue'er, your second brother must have visited all the shops in Fucheng." Han joked, covering her mouth with a chuckle.
