Old man Liu was very angry, and looked at old Zhou, "Dear family, you can't talk nonsense, Da Lang has always been honest."
Before old Zhou Tou could speak, Uncle Qian shouted, "Honestly? In the early morning, he gave his wife a letter of divorce, picked up his clothes and drove her out to call honesty? Did you have a child by adultery? You'll know after ten months." , I don't believe it, your Liu family is willing to get rid of that child, after ten months, it depends on whether your Liu family has a child or not!"
Old man Liu's face was as black as a pot, and his hands were shaking with anger.
My family knew about my family affairs, so why was he in such a hurry to divorce Zhou Xi? Was it because Widow Wu's stomach couldn't wait
Everyone in the Liu family was very angry, but Sanjiu Qian was a well-known bastard and articulate, plus Zhou Zhoulang and Zhou Zhoulang were booing at the side, the Liu family had never quarreled with them.
Old man Liu couldn't help but look at the clansmen who came to support him, but they all stood behind and didn't speak, while the women outside the yard watched enthusiastically, and didn't support their Liu family.
Looking at the women brought by Zhou's family, they all surrounded Liu's mother, and her face turned blue because of their words.
At this moment, old man Liu deeply felt that having more sons is beneficial, and not to mention anything else, just quarreling can crush each other.
The Zhou family and the Liu family had a quarrel, the old Zhou was reasonable, Qian Sanjiu and Zhou Zhoulang were in charge of messing around and swearing, they directly crushed each other in all aspects of reasoning and ignorance, and directly stepped on the momentum of the Liu family. to make their demands.
It is impossible for them to accept the letter of divorce, but it is also impossible for Zhou Xi to return to Liu's house. Old Zhou said that it is okay for the two children to be separated, they can only be separated!
All of Zhou Xi's dowry should be returned, and Zhou Xi must be compensated for the same amount of dowry.
The Liu family, of course the Liu family did not agree.
When Zhou Xi married into Liu's family back then, the drought in this area had just passed for two years, and everyone's life was not particularly easy, but the Zhou family prepared a lot of dowry for her.
Of course, many of these were compared in the village. At that time, the Zhou family prepared two camphor wood cages, two sets of new clothes, two new quilts, a pair of silver earrings, a thin silver bracelet, and A hanging box of money.
Now, except for the camphor wood cage, the other things are either old or missing. Anyway, Zhou Xi went back bare.
In addition to the compensation requested by the Zhou family, they need to return him four sets of new clothes, four new quilts, two pairs of silver earrings, two thin silver bracelets and two pennies, and they have to make two new camphor wood cages. Everything can be given as a bride price for a son.
Is this divorce or marriage
The Liu family refused.
Old Zhou didn't talk nonsense, stood up with a sneer and said, "I don't agree? You don't agree, and your Liu family's clan doesn't agree either?"
The village chief who followed stopped Old Zhou, looked at Old Liu, and asked, "Which point do you disagree with, or not at all? Tell us, let's discuss bit by bit, otherwise we will argue like this, and after a while It can't be solved every year, and we will go to the fields after the beginning of spring, and we don't have so much free time to deal with this matter for your family."
The patriarch and village chief of Liu's side stood up and spoke, "Village chief Zhou is right, what do you think in your heart, let us discuss it."
Old man Liu's heart was on fire. He knew that talking about the Liu family would not have the upper hand today, so he wanted to delay talking about it until today.
Zhou Erlang is as smart as a man, how could he not know what he was thinking
Seeing that he was pondering to shirk, he kicked Liu Dalang again in front of everyone, rolled up his sleeves and said, "Why, I can't make up my mind and don't want to talk about it today? Then we will still be his brother-in-law today, the third brother, the third brother." Four, what are you doing in a daze, this kid kicked our eldest sister out, let's beat him up first to vent my anger on eldest sister!"
After all, he still stared at the village chief of Liujia Village and asked, "Village Chief Liu, is it okay for brothers-in-law to vent their anger on sister?"
Village head Liu wanted to say that crimes were committed, but this is really not the case in the countryside.
Who has no daughter, who has no sisters
He said vaguely, "Just don't beat people up for good or bad."
Zhou Yilang and Zhou Zhoulang rolled up their sleeves and rushed towards Liu Dalang. Liu Dalang had a psychological shadow on them, and was so frightened that he quickly hid behind his mother and shouted: "Mom, save me, save me!"
Mother Liu screamed, "This is my Liu family, how dare you, how dare you, old man, old man, look at how much their Zhou family has gone too far, such a daughter-in-law should have divorced long ago..."
"Shut up!" Old man Liu looked at Zhou Zhoulang and Zhou Zhoulang bitterly, knowing that today he had to talk, after thinking about it, he reluctantly said: "It's okay to reconcile, the dowry, the dowry of the elders has always been her We took it by ourselves, and our family didn't take care of it, but she has contributed to our family all these years and has worked hard, and we are willing to pool money to get her the same one."
It means that it is impossible to ask for compensation.
Old Zhou Tou sneered and said nothing, while Little Qian took a step forward and said, "My father-in-law, do you know about my sister-in-law's dowry? I don't know, but my mother-in-law must know. In addition to the bed I used, there is another bed that my mother-in-law hugged for her own use, and my father-in-law lays down every day, doesn't he know that the quilt is my sister-in-law's dowry?"
Old man Liu was a little embarrassed.
Xiaoqian continued to count. No one knew better than Zhou Xi how things were used. After all, it was her own dowry. She remembered everything clearly. Two camphorwood boxes and cages, her One was put in the new house, and the other was also taken away by Liu's mother, and it is now in her room.
At that time, what Zhou Xi thought was that she would not be able to use the two boxes anyway, she would be a family when she married in, and her mother-in-law opened her mouth, so she had to give it away, but the money, silver earrings, silver bracelets and so on were all her own. She took it, no matter how Mother Liu hinted, she didn't give it.
But these things were all used up in the end.
Most of it was used by Zhou Xi when he went to see a doctor, and some of it was used by Liu Dalang and Zhou Xi when the Liu family was in trouble, and Zhou Xi took it out for emergency use.
But at this moment, Xiaoqian doesn't care whether the money is used on the eldest sister-in-law. Anyway, the eldest sister-in-law is the daughter-in-law of the Liu family at that time, so it should be the Liu family's money. The family pays.
Therefore, she believed that the Liu family borrowed the money, and in the end it became the dowry of the Liu family's borrowed daughter-in-law.
The Liu family was very angry, and felt that the Zhou family was too pushy and unreasonable.
The two sides quarreled from morning to afternoon, and the Zhou family pressed on every step of the way. Old man Liu barely held the bottom line and didn't dare to retreat too much.
In fact, besides the eldest, there is also a second child who is not married in their family. They can't give the eldest a daughter-in-law and the money for marrying a daughter-in-law. He will marry again later.
Uncle Qian shouted impatiently: "It's fine if you Liu family doesn't want to, we won't accept the letter of divorce, and don't even think about the letter of divorce for the time being. It will take three to five years. Our girl is not in a hurry to get married. Let's see if your Liu family's bastard can stay in the stomach for three to five years before coming out!"
