Chapter 374 - 368 Take It If You Want



Niu Tongsheng looked past Madam Yang. His gaze landed on Old Man Zhao as he asked with a deep tone, “Old Man Zhao, is there nothing that you would like to say?

Old Man Zhao appeared as cowardly and spineless as ever. He stammered,

“This, this is an issue between the women. I can’t intervene?’

Niu Tongsheng was so angry that he started laughing, “An issue between women? By that definition, Changrong isn’t your grandson? That is Baogen’s only son. How can you stand by and do nothing as his grandfather?

“All along, I thought that you were just cowardly, but I didn’t think that you were such a selfish person. As long as you don’t say anything, once Madam Yang settles everything, it will have nothing to do with you, right?”

Old Man Zhao said nervously, “Village Chief, how could you say that? This is a quarrel between the women, and I don’t think it’s good for us men to intervene, right? Besides, the blood that is flowing in Changrong’s veins doesn’t belong to the Zhao clan, right? So I think my wife didn’t do anything wrong!’

Niu Tongsheng wanted to crack open Old Man Zhao’s head and see if it was filled to the brim with feces.

How could he say that?

Zhao Chuchu had explained it so clearly to them, yet he was still trying to use that as a reason to evade responsibility.

The Zhao Clan was beyond saving!

Zhao Chuchu was absolutely right to have severed ties with them early on.

Look at Madam Ma. She had been filial toward Old Man Zhao and Madam Yang all these years, yet what did she get in return?

“If God is looking at us now, you should be struck by lightning. If your ancestors knew what you were doing, they would jump out of their coffins and beat you to death, you inhuman bastard! You threw away all your morals as a human being just for a few taels of silver!” said Niu Tongsheng angrily. “Old Man Zhao, let me ask you one more time—are you going to pay for Changrong’s treatment?”

Instead of answering him, Old Man Zhao asked, “Chief, why are you so interested in getting the money for Zhao Chuchu? Did she promise to give you a cut as well?”

Niu Tongsheng was disgusted.

For the first time, he realized what a revolting person Old Man Zhao was.

“Great, great, great…” Niu Tongsheng said. “If that’s the case, I won’t try to stop this fight. Madam Ma, someone who kills someone else, should pay with their own life. But I suggest you don’t gamble with Changrong’s future We should bring this up with the government officials. I believe County Magistrate Qiao would make sure that justice is served.”

Niu Tongsheng felt that if he couldn’t convince them with reason and logic, there was no point in talking to them anymore.

The law will deal with these shameless scoundrels.

Niu Tongsheng didn’t even want to look at Old Man Zhao anymore.

He wouldn’t even feel pity for Old Man Zhao if he died right now.

Fortunately, he didn’t try to convince Zhao Chuchu not to cut ties with the Zhao clan for the sake of “filial piety.” Otherwise, Niu Tongsheng couldn’t imagine how much misery Zhao Chuchu would have gone through.

“County Magistrate Qiao has always been an impartial person. I’m sure he will investigate thoroughly to find out what happened. He won’t just believe whatever they say and take it as the truth,” Niu Tongsheng said. “If he needs it, we will be eyewitnesses for you.”

Old Man Zhao immediately started panicking when he heard that they would bring this up with a government official.

“Village Chief, this is just our family affair. So why do we need to blow the issue up and bring it to court?”

“Someone almost died today, and you still think it’s a small issue? Old Man Zhao, why do you still not understand how big this is?”

“If Madam Ma hadn’t started finding trouble first, would Changrong still have fallen and gotten injured? It’s all Madam Ma’s fault. What does it have anything to do with us?”

Old Man Zhao was still trying to push the blame away.

“If that’s the case, then there’s nothing to discuss. Madam Ma, go report this to the government,” said Niu Tongsheng as he looked at Madam Ma.

Madam Ma stared at Madam Yang and asked again, “You’re not going to give me the money, right?”

When Madam Yang heard about reporting the incident to the government, she thought about how Niu Ziming’s family was sent to a mine to serve their corvee.

Despite being extremely reluctant, she knew that she had to use this money to avoid a disaster.

“You must have planned and schemed really hard for this money. Alright, I’ll give it to you. Take it as a donation!” Madam Yang didn’t want to lose face with Madam Ma. She wanted to humiliate Madam Ma.

She went into the house. After a long while, she brought out a handful of broken silver taels.

“I only have 30 taels, nothing more. Take it if you want!” Madam Yang threw the money at Madam Ma.

The silver fragments were scattered on the ground.

Niu Tongsheng sighed deeply.

But there was nothing he could say.

Madam Ma remained silent as well. Then, finally, she crouched down and picked up all of the silver fragments.

Then, Niu Tongsheng got someone to bring over a steelyard and weigh the silver fragments. It turned out there were only 25 taels worth of silver.

“What’s going on? Are your 25 taels of silver capable of reproducing or something? How did it become 30 taels?” Niu Tongsheng asked.

Madam Yang yelled, “I don’t know who the idiot who stole it was, and I don’t care. I gave her 30 taels of silver. Some of it was lost, but that has nothing to do with me!”

She insisted that she had given Madam Ma 30 taels of silver. But, of course, no one had any evidence anyway. Even Niu Tongsheng couldn’t do anything to her.

“There are eight chickens there. I’ll count that as five taels of silver.” Madam Ma pointed at the chicken coop.

“How dare you? Those are my chickens!”

“I raised them.”

“They’re in my house, so they belong to me. They have nothing to do with you! You are not a daughter-in-law of the Zhao clan anymore. So if you dare to take those chickens, you are robbing us.”

Zhao Baogen walked to the chicken coop quietly. He grabbed the chicken cage beside it and started putting the chickens in it.

Madam Yang thought that Zhao Baogen was keeping the chickens, so she didn’t stop him.

“You see? That’s what my son thinks as well,” Madam Yang said proudly.

Yet, before she even finished her sentence, Zhao Baogen had made her swallow her words. He carried the two chicken cages and walked toward Madam Ma.

“I’m a useless man; this is all I can do. Take it.”

“Brother (Son), are you insane?” everyone in the Zhao clan exclaimed.

Zhao Baogen turned around and said, “You are forcing me to go insane. How can I remain normal? I was the one who caught the chickens. Report me to the government and put me in jail.”

“Those are our chickens. Why should we give it to her?”

“She raised them!”

“So what? Do we not deserve a cut working outside on the farms?”

‘Good. You know that you deserve a cut for your work. What about her cut? Where did her cut go?

Madam Yang choked at Zhao Baogen’s question. For a moment) she didn’t know how to reply.

‘Even if she deserved a cut, it is at most worth one chicken. The rest belongs to us,” Madam Liu said anxiously. She didn’t even want Madam Ma to take a single thread from them, let alone eight chickens.

Zhao Baotian stepped forward and tried to snatch the chickens away.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Baogen stopped him. “Try snatching it. I dare you.”

Zhao Baotian stared at him. Then he whispered to Zhao Baogen, “Brother, you are a disabled man now. You’ll have to rely on us in the future. So you shouldn’t make life difficult for yourself! Do you think you can live a comfortable life without us?

Zhao Baogen wasn’t convinced by Zhao Baotian at all. He said, “So what? I’ll just make you all die alongside me. There’s nothing I’m scared of.”

Zhao Baotian didn’t think that Zhao Baogen would come up with such an insane answer.

At the same time, Madam Ma took the opportunity and ran off with the chickens.

She was there to get money from the Zhao clan. Now that she had what she wanted, she did not need to stay there and disgust herself with these people.

“Stop! Don’t run!” Madam Yang got anxious. She wanted to chase after Madam Ma, but by the time she started running, Madam Ma was already quite far away.

When Zhao Chuchu received the money from Madam Ma, she was surprised.

She didn’t expect that Madam Ma would be able to get the money from Madam

Yang so quickly.
