116 Chapter 116: Not A Peep No Matter How Badly Beaten
Seeing old Wang Laoshuan’s cowardly behavior, the village chief became furious.
“Discipline your wife!” The village chief said in a grim voice.
Wang Laoshuan’s body trembled as he looked at Aunt Wang.
He wanted to say something, but he didn’t manage to open his mouth.
Firstly, he was used to being afraid of his wife.
Secondly, he felt that he would most likely not be able to get back the deposit his wife had paid out.
Since that was the case, it was better to let the Zhang family take their daughter away. At the very least, his son would still be able to marry his would-be daughter-in-law.
As for his son’s wishes, he felt that his son had only said those words because he had not thought it through yet. Dashan would agree to it sooner or later.
“Hmph! Can he control me? You won’t get a peep out of him no matter how much you beat him!” When Aunt Wang saw this, not only did she not feel touched, but she also scolded her husband.
This scene caused the villagers to gossip among themselves.
They knew all along Wang Laoshuan was a henpecked husband, but they did not know that he had already reached the point where his wife could ride on his head and shit on him.
Isn’t this simply too cowardly?
“Father!” Upon seeing this, Wang Dashan yelled angrily at Wang Laoshuan.
Couldn’t he stand up for them at all? Was he prepared to watch their mother destroy their family?
In the face of his son’s pleading eyes, an apologetic look flashed across Wang Laoshuan’s eyes, but he still didn’t say anything in the end.
When she saw this, a smug look flashed across Aunt Wang’s face.
Then, she said to the village chief, “I have the final say in my family’s matters! Village Chief, you don’t have to worry about this!”
The village chief was instantly infuriated.
He then added in a grave voice, “It’s true that I can’t meddle in your family’s affairs! But I have the final say in the matters concerning Brook Falls Village!”
“Although we have sold people in Brook Falls Village in the past, that was during a natural disaster when the families did not have any food and were unable to feed their own family members.”
“What era are we in now? How can anyone still sell people in a good year?”
Aunt Wang was about to rebuke him, but the village chief interrupted her.
“If something like this were to leak out, the surrounding villages would begin spreading the news. Is your Wang family trying to bring harm to our villagers and tarnish their reputation the way you have tarnished yours?”
As soon as he said that, the villagers immediately began discussing heatedly among themselves.
That was true. If something like this happened in Brook Falls Village and ruined the reputation of the village, how would they undertake match-making for the young ladies and young men in the village in the future?
In particular, those who had unmarried sons and daughters at home all began to criticize Aunt Wang.
Although Aunt Wang was a shrew, it was difficult for her to deal with so many people alone, and she was quickly put at a disadvantage.
When the village chief saw this, he bade the villagers calm down.
Then, he looked at Wang Laoshuan, who still had his head lowered.
“Wang Laoshuan, you’re the head of the Wang family. You have to consider this matter carefully.”
“If you really want to do it your wife’s way, it’s possible…”
Just as everyone was about to dissuade the village chief, they heard him say, “Then please take your family and move out of Brook Falls Village.”
“It is also to save our Brook Falls Village’s reputation from being tarnished by your family!”
As soon as these words were spoken, Wang Laoshuan finally raised his head again, and his expression had changed drastically.
Aunt Wang did not expect the village chief to say something like that either, and her face turned pale with fear.
What? She was selling her own daughter, yet she still got chased out of the village? Was there any justice in this world?
Just as she was about to argue with the village chief, Wang Laoshuan suddenly came forward and pulled her back.
“No, I’m not selling! We’re not selling!” he hurriedly said.
His roots were in Brook Falls Village. If he left this place, how would he live?
Wang Laoshuan’s grip on Aunt Wang’s wrist was so tight that it hurt, and she immediately shook him off.
“Why can’t we sell?” She was about to have a big fight with Wang Laoshuan.
Wang Laoshuan finally panicked when he saw the village chief frowning.
Then, he abruptly slapped Aunt Wang.
Aunt Wang was instantly dumbfounded.
At this moment, the shock was far greater than the pain.
Wang Laoshuan was also extremely shocked at this moment. He could not believe that he had actually hit his wife, and the hit even struck home.
“Wang Laoshuan, I’ll fight you to the death!” Soon, Aunt Wang regained her senses and rushed toward Wang Laoshuan.
Wang Laoshuan dodged subconsciously.
Then, he was quickly pressed to the ground by Aunt Wang and viciously beaten up.
Someone wanted to stop the fight, but he was stopped by his own family.
This Wang Laoshuan was a good-for-nothing who couldn’t control his wife and let her run loose to harm the villagers. He deserved to be beaten.
“Ah! You bitch! How dare you hit my son!” At this moment, a sharp cry suddenly rang out.
Then, an elderly woman rushed in from behind the crowd.
Then, she used her walking stick to hit Aunt Wang.
The beating caused Aunt Wang much pain, and she retaliated subconsciously.
How could the elderly woman be a match for Aunt Wang? With two moves, Aunt Wang grabbed the walking stick and flipped the elderly woman to the ground.
“Mother…” At this moment, a middle-aged man squeezed out of the crowd.
He rushed over and sent Aunt Wang flying with a kick, and then he helped the elderly woman up.
Yes, this elderly woman was Old Grandma Wang, Wang Laoshuan’s mother, and Aunt Wang’s mother-in-law.
As Wang Laoshuan was the eldest son of the Wang family, rightfully, Old Grandma Wang should be living with the eldest son.
However, it was precisely because she did not get along with Aunt Wang and Wang Laoshuan was not in charge that Old Grandma Wang moved in to live with her second son.
Over the past few years, there was less friction because they didn’t live together.
However, because of Aunt Wang’s instigation, Old Grandma Wang’s relationship with her eldest son grew distant.
This was also the reason Old Grandma Wang had stepped in to help when Aunt Wang caused trouble at the Song family.
Old Grandma Wang wanted to use this opportunity to do her eldest daughter-in-law a favor and get closer to her eldest son’s family.
However, she didn’t expect Qin Xiaoyao to be so tough to deal with. Qin Xiaoyao simply announced outright that she would no longer accept anything from the Wang family.
Due to this incident, when Old Grandma Wang returned home, her second son and second daughter-in-law chided her quite a bit.
After that, she didn’t dare to go near her eldest son’s family again.
Who knew that such a thing would happen in such a short time!
This bitch had actually sold her granddaughter off for ten taels of silver.
She even took the silver back to her maiden family and betrothed Old Grandma Wang’s eldest grandson to her maiden family’s cousin.
After all these years, her biggest regret was getting such a wife for her eldest son.
Now, as if it wasn’t bad enough that this woman had harmed her eldest son, she also wanted to harm her granddaughter and grandson. How could Old Grandma Wang tolerate this?
When she heard the news, she immediately rushed over.
To her great surprise, she arrived to see this bitch straddling her eldest son’s body and hitting him.
She then rushed up to help, but she didn’t expect to be beaten up instead.
After the middle-aged man kicked Aunt Wang away, he helped Wang Laoshuan up.
The pitiful Wang Laoshuan’s face was badly scratched, and his body was full of injuries from Aunt Wang’s vicious clawing.
Seeing that his second brother, Wang Dashi, had arrived, Wang Laoshuan was slightly relieved.
However, Aunt Wang did not stop.
After being kicked away, she quickly got up from the ground and wanted to settle the score with Wang Dashi.
At this moment, Wang Dashan finally took action. After throwing away the sickle, he restrained Aunt Wang.
“Enough! Mother, stop it!” Wang Dashan held Aunt Wang tightly, not allowing her to go crazy again.
When the crowd saw that the person was under control now, everyone finally calmed down a little.
The village chief stepped forward again.
“Wang Laoshuan, how do you intend to handle this matter now?” He asked as he looked at Wang Laoshuan.
