Chapter 456: Chapter 237 Brawl_1
Seeing Zhao Fugui arriving with people, Lian Shouyi came out of the house.
Zhao Fugui was very polite to Lian Shouyi, greeted him with a fist and palm salute, and without entering the house, he pulled Lian Shouyi aside into a corner of the courtyard and began whispering. Zhao Fugui’s Wife went straight into the east wing room, followed closely by Lady He.
After a while, Lady He’s shouting could be heard from the east wing room.
"Fugui’s Wife, what are you doing?"
"These trunks and cabinets are all my sister’s belongings; inside are all the things my sister needs. My sister won’t be living here anymore, so I have to take her things back," said Zhao Fugui’s Wife.
At this time, Lian Shouyi and Zhao Fugui separated. Lian Shouyi headed straight to the Upper Room, while Zhao Fugui went toward the east wing room. In the east wing room, upon Zhao Fugui’s Wife’s call, Zhao Fugui along with two workers entered the room, and soon after, they started carrying out Zhao Xiue’s trunks and cabinets of various sizes. Lian Manman, watching from the opposite side, noticed that each of Zhao Xiue’s trunks had a lock as big as her fist, securing the trunks tightly.
The lock looked very sturdy, and Lian Manman thought, wondering where Zhao Xiue had bought them and if she should also get a few.
In the Upper Room, Old Master Lian and Lady Zhou were told by Lian Shouyi that Zhao Fugui had come this time to take away Zhao Xiue’s dowry.
"She wants to leave again?" Lady Zhou glared, "What does she take Old Lian Family for? She thinks she can come and go as she pleases? Once the dowry has entered our house, she won’t think of moving it without giving us an explanation,"
"What are you waiting for? Don’t let them move the things," Lady Zhou, having already heard the noise outside, hurried out of the Upper Room.
Old Master Lian, Lian Shouyi, Lian Xiuxiu also came out, followed by Lady Chiang, holding Niuniu, and leading Lian Duoduo out from the west room.
On the West Wing Room side, Lian Shouyi’s family and Lian Shouxin’s family had also come out.
"Put everything down!" Lady Zhou, seeing Zhao Fugui and his men carrying the trunks and cabinets out, hurriedly shouted and signaled her sons to stop Zhao Fugui.
Upon Lady Zhou’s order, Lian Shouli, Lian Shouxin, Sanlang, and Si Lang quickly blocked Zhao Fugui and his group.
"Elder Sister-in-law, we are taking my sister’s belongings. What right do you have to stop us?" Zhao Fugui’s Wife, Zhao Xiue’s sister-in-law, raised her eyebrows to Lady Zhou.
"Who is your sister? She is the wife my grandson married. We paid a bride price," snapped Lady Zhou with full authority, surrounded by her own sons and grandsons in her own home, she wouldn’t be intimidated by a wife from the Zhao Family. "No matter what you say, not just these items, but your sister too is a member of the Lian Family. She ran away on her own without my consent. I haven’t even settled accounts with you, yet you dare to come here to move things. There’s no law left!"
"Oh my, don’t you worry about the wind being so strong it snaps your tongue. You also said my sister is your family’s wife. My sister carried your Old Lian Family’s child, and you didn’t treat her and her child well, constantly mistreated her. Despite having plenty to eat and drink, you wouldn’t let her have a decent meal. Just for an egg, you cursed my sister so harshly she nearly ended her own life. Since she couldn’t live in your family, our Old Zhao family can support her. What, do you still want to keep my sister’s belongings? That’s truly unjust! Aren’t you afraid of retribution, being struck by lightning!" Zhao Fugui’s Wife was very sharp with her words. Seeing Zhao Xiue’s behavior, it seems this was a trait that ran in her Zhao Family.
Lady Zhou’s chest heaved with anger. She was used to having her word as law in the Lian Family, where everyone else only listened, and dare not say no to her. She was not used to such mockery and direct confrontation.
"... Which daughter-in-law doesn’t show respect to her elders first when she enters a family? The girls from your Old Zhao family insist on turning things upside down, wanting to defecate on us elders. Heartless things like that deserve to be struck by lightning. With the way you speak, you are no better, a shameless wretch who disrespects her parents. You should have asked your sister, at whose house does a hen not lay eggs, and who hasn’t seen her demanding to eat and drink all day? I’m so embarrassed for her. It’s you, this shameless creature, who still has the face to babble nonsense to me. Go pee and look at yourself in it..."
