Chapter 254: The Past of the Separation

Seeing that the village chief was really angry, Old Man Zhao hurriedly winked at his old lady frantically.

Only then did Old Mrs. Zhao snort reluctantly and turn her head away.

"Zhao Tiansheng, tell me, why did you come here to smash things? Why did you beat the children?" The village chief was furious when he saw the mess in the yard.

"We just came to their house to take a look, but who knew that these kids wouldn't open the door for us and even scolded us from inside. We got so angry that we broke down the door." Old man Zhao spoke nonsense in a serious manner.

"You're talking nonsense! It was you who asked us to open the door. We asked you what happened, but you started scolding us without saying anything, and even scolded my mother!" Xing'er rushed out of the room.

"Grandpa Village Chief, they were the ones who started cursing first. When we didn't open the door, Second Uncle and Fourth Uncle started banging on it and even knocked our front door down!"

"Xing'er, kid, how can you talk nonsense?" Old man Zhao looked heartbroken.

"I'm not talking nonsense! Many uncles, aunts and uncles from the village were there at the time, and they all heard it!" Xing'er was not willing to be outdone.

"Yes, Uncle Zhao, it was obviously you who came first to bang the door and curse. I could hear you cursing while I was lighting the fire in the kitchen, and you only used the nastiest words." Wang Bixia, who lived downstairs from Duan Minmin's house, spoke indignantly.

"Wang Bixia! Bullshit! Are you sick of eating shit? You start spitting shit early in the morning. Which ear of yours heard us cursing?" Old Mrs. Zhao got excited again.

"You are the one who has eaten shit, otherwise you would come to your granddaughter's house and yell at her so early in the morning! I heard it with both ears. Did I lie? There are so many people here, everyone heard it! Don't you agree?"

"That's right. I heard them yelling and banging on the door from a distance, but I didn't hear Tao'er and the others say anything back."

"I heard it too. At first I thought there was a fight going on somewhere, and then I followed my man out to see what was happening."

"Village Chief, they are the ones who are causing trouble. I can testify to that!"

With Wang Bixia taking the lead, villagers came forward one after another, all blaming the Zhao family.

Naturally, the Zhao family would not be happy to be criticized by so many people, and they also started to argue with the villagers outside the door.

After going back and forth, they almost broke out into a fight again.

"Enough! Shut up!" The village chief felt like his brain was about to explode because of this group of people.

The village chief got angry, but somehow he managed to calm the situation.

"Zhao Tiansheng, what else do you have to say? So many people in this village can testify that it is you who are here to cause trouble!" The village chief looked at old man Zhao.

"Village chief, they are talking nonsense, they are wrongly accusing me!" Zhao Tiansheng refused to admit it.

"Unfairly accuse you? What has happened in your family that is worthy of the whole village to wrongly accuse you? Is it because of your shabby thatched house? Or is it because of your poorly tended fields that yield only a few kilograms of harvest a year?" The village chief began to speak bluntly.

This ridicule made the Zhao family feel embarrassed inside and out.

But the village chief was not wrong. The Zhao family's life has been getting worse and worse over the years.

Before Duan Minmin and the others were separated, all the housework was given to the eldest wife. Because the eldest wife had no son, Zhao Yuandong worked hard with his wife and daughter in the Zhao family without complaint.

Under the unlimited exploitation of this vampire family, the eldest family's life was miserable, but the Zhao family lived a fulfilling life.

But it was precisely because of their oppression that Zhao Yuandong's health collapsed at a young age, and he was eventually killed by a cold.

At that time, the three girls were still young. As soon as Zhao Yuandong left, the Zhao family felt that Duan Minniang and the three girls were eating for free, so they insisted on dividing the family property and drove them out.

When the family property was divided, they really wanted to give nothing to the four of them. In the end, it was the village chief who stepped in and divided up the few acres of the most barren land and this shabby house.

This incident caused a big stir and everyone in the village knew about it.

At that time, Duan Minniang didn't want to split up the family at all, but was driven out by the Zhao family. Now they say they are a family.

"What does our fields and houses have to do with you? Is there any need for you to talk about it here?" Old Mrs. Zhao was exposed and yelled at the village chief in frustration.

The village chief glanced at her and ignored her.

"Zhao Tiansheng, the matter is clear now. Your family relied on your numbers to come to our house early in the morning and smashed it into this state. You also beat the children like this. Tell me, how do you want compensation?"

The village chief didn't say much and directly determined that the Zhao family was the party at fault in this matter and asked them to pay compensation.

"Compensation? For what? I haven't asked them for compensation yet!" Old Mrs. Zhao became excited again when she heard about compensation.

"Why? Just because you broke in, messed up the house, and beat up the children! If I don't ask you to pay compensation, do you want to go to jail?"

"You damn bitch, shut up!" Old Man Zhao glared at Old Mrs. Zhao viciously.

"I...I didn't say that."

Chen Fangyuan's family had just been taken to prison by the village chief. The deterrent effect was still there, and the arrogant old lady Chen suddenly fell silent.

"Village chief, this woman is a dog's mouth that can't spit out ivory, just ignore her." Zhao Tiansheng apologized with a smile.

"But we absolutely cannot afford to lose money. We came to your door today for a reason."

"What reason?"

Zhao Tiansheng's cloudy eyes began to roll around: "Village chief, you also know that my eldest son was killed by Duan Minniang. They say raising a son is a way to prepare for old age, raising a son is a way to prepare for old age, but our son was killed by her. We can only let her pay for our old age."

The village chief almost laughed when he heard this.

"Zhao Tiansheng, how come I didn't know you were so shameless? What did you say when you insisted on separating the orphans and widows?"

"Didn't you say that the mother and daughter were just good at eating and drinking and were a burden to you? You also said that they were born to bring bad luck to your family and that if you weren't driven out they would shorten your lifespan. Why are you asking for their money to support you in your old age now? Aren't you afraid of shortening your lifespan?" the village chief asked sarcastically.

The villagers also laughed, remembering the harsh words they had said in order to divide the family property.

"That's right, Auntie. I remember you said that you didn't need them to come back to see you even if you died. Why are you rushing to look for them now?"

"It's because he saw that the other person was living a good life, so he regretted it and wanted to make some money!"

"How shameless! You said such exaggerated things at that time, but now you don't know if your face hurts or not!"

"Hey! Old lady Zhao, if you want to ask them for retirement money, why don't you ask Duan Minniang? Why are you asking these three little girls?"

"Aunt, you don't know this, right? Minniang is very powerful now, how dare they do that? They must be taking advantage of Minniang and Baozhu not being at home, so they want to come and take control of these children."

"Life was not easy for them, and they didn't show up for those years. Now that life is better, they want to take advantage of us."

"The last time Niu Laizi bullied them, an orphan and a widow, I went to the Zhao family to tell them. The Zhao family simply said that it was none of their business if he died. Now they have the nerve to come to their house to ask for money."

......

The villagers were not stupid. Each of them spoke out loud and revealed all the secrets in the Zhao family's minds.

"Bah! Have you all eaten too much? Why do you come here to meddle in other people's business? This is our family matter, what does it have to do with you?" Zhao Yuanxi couldn't help being ridiculed by so many people.
