After Becoming the Villain Mother-in-Law, I Launch My Redemption Arc Chapter 59: Lost Both the Bride and the Army

This is just starting to act shalessly and unreasonably.

The village chief was so angry he didn’t know what to say.

He clearly wanted to keep things quiet and not blow them up, but Mrs. Sun didn’t appreciate it, so he stopped caring about it.

"Zhang Fu, I can’t handle this matter, you should report it to the governnt. The governnt arrests those who deceive in marriage, at least twenty taels of fine silver, and a minimum of three months in jail. The fine is twice the amount gained from the fraudulent marriage," the village chief said with a stern face.

"Alright, I happen to know an arrest officer in the county, I’ll go find him right away." Zhang Fu said and imdiately walked out.

With quick reflexes, ng Qingshan grabbed Zhang Fu, "Nephew, calm down, it’s a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding."

Zhang Fu didn’t really want to make a big fuss, if it really escalated, even the ng girl would have to be summoned by the governnt for questioning.

So, he was held back by ng Qingshan.

ng Qingshan kicked Mrs. Sun, "You disgraceful disgrace, get up quickly. Eldest son, stop pretending to be dead, your brother Zhang Fu knows how to pull his punches, get up quickly and apologize to brother Zhang Fu. Everyone disperse, disperse, it’s all a misunderstanding, once explained, there’s no issue. Co on, co on, let’s go inside and talk."

The village chief was also invited inside.

Of course, before entering, the village chief instructed everyone to disperse.

Soon, under the village chief’s witness, twenty taels of silver were returned to Zhang Fu.

At the sa ti, Zhang Fu forced the ng family to promise in front of the village chief that they would not pursue ng Yao anymore; otherwise, he would not spare them.

What could the ng family do, Zhang Fu was so fierce; they were afraid he would treat them like pigs.

After the threats and getting the money back, Zhang Fu arrogantly left.

The village chief thoroughly berated ng Qingshan, telling him to take charge of his household and not let his wife cause trouble.

ng Qingshan nodded obediently, only then did the village chief leave.

With injuries on his body, ng Cheng, and Mrs. Sun receiving a kick, the whole family was humiliated in front of the entire village.

Their original plan was to let the entire village know that ng Yao and Zhang Fu were secretly involved, so that in order to settle things, ng Yao would have to agree to marry Zhang Fu.

Even if ng Yao didn’t agree, Zhang Fu, losing face, would surely find a way to force ng Yao to submit to him.

As it turned out, ng Yao was fierce, but Zhang Fu was fiercer.

Moreover, Zhang Fu, not thinking clearly, still ca to stand up for ng Yao after being rejected.

By dinner ti, ng Yao learned what happened with the ng family.

There’s no way around it, the village is so small, anything that happens spreads quickly.

The news was brought back by Zhao Xiaohua while out strolling.

"My uncle got a good beating from Uncle Zhang, they say his head’s swollen like a pig’s head," Zhao Xiaoshu said gloatingly.

Clearly, before this, she was calling him butcher Zhang.

Now, because Zhang Fu did sothing satisfying, Zhao Xiaohua even changed the way she addressed him.

"My grandma even got a kick from my grandpa. I have to say, my grandpa is fierce, just one kick, and this matter was covered up," Zhao Xiaohua sighed.

Indeed, on reflection, although it seed like Sun was in charge of the ng family on ordinary days, the silent ng Qingshan did not actually lack authority.

He seed uninvolved, but with any major event, it was surely the old man making the decisions.

In short, "losing the wife and the army" surely describes the ng household’s situation.

ng Yao took it as a joke, not caring.

The ng family was making a fuss, but in the end, they were just being laughed at by everyone.

"Mother, it won’t be long. Once I achieve fa, they wouldn’t dare," Zhao Dahe said.

"Alright," ng Yao responded.

On the twenty-sixth of the twelfth lunar month, ng Zhu ca with her children.

Zhao Xiaohua dashed into ng Zhu’s arms, "Auntie, why did you co? I was just telling my mother to take to your house in the first month."

ng Zhu is the older sister of the original body, and if anyone in the family treated the original body the best, it was ng Zhu.

To be honest, the more daring personality of the original body was influenced by ng Zhu.

Back then, ng Qingshan and Mrs. Sun wanted to marry ng Zhu off as a second wife to an old man whose children were already married, seeking a young capable stepmother to take care of the old man.

The betrothal gifts offered were significant.

ng Zhu said she was willing to marry, but guaranteed that if she did, the old man would surely not see the next day’s sun.

Then, she would turn herself in to the governnt, saying it was the ng family who incited her to commit murder.

This infuriated ng Qingshan and Mrs. Sun, yet they were afraid ng Zhu might really do such a thing, so they had to refuse the marriage and went around saying that the ng family would never sell their daughter, even if offered a hundred taels, they would not be tempted.

It indeed gained them a good reputation.

Later, a young peddler ca to propose marriage.

Of course, Mrs. Sun and ng Qingshan were against it, how much money could a peddler have?

But ng Zhu stood firm, speaking a single sentence that forced Mrs. Sun and ng Qingshan to relent.

The young peddler’s bride price wasn’t minimal either, a full ten taels of silver.

ng Zhu simply said it was alright if they disagreed, but who knew when she might let slip and reveal the previous incident to everyone. By then, even if it was a ten taels bride price, there might not be anyone proposing marriage.

Finally, ng Zhu got her wish and married the young peddler.

Of course, now she is the owner of a general store.

There’s a decent-sized general store in Anyang Town, next to Fengyang Town.

"Elder sister," ng Yao affectionately linked arms with ng Zhu.

The original body had a good relationship with ng Zhu, so she couldn’t slip up now.

"I’m here today to deliver New Year’s gifts, and all I’ve heard are grumbles," ng Zhu said with a smile, "Not bad, you’ve improved. At least you aren’t being angered to tears anymore."

The original body was tough-looking but fragile inside when it ca to the ng family, always raising her voice, seeming like she wasn’t at a disadvantage, but crying pitifully behind their backs each ti.

"With each incident, if I don’t improve, how can life go on? A few days ago, for so reason, they even set their sights on Dahe," ng Yao said. "I cannot remain at a disadvantage and let the children suffer, too."

"You should have done this a long ti ago," ng Zhu gave ng Yao a playful reprimand, "Dajiang is a filial child, Dahe is promising, Xiaohua is considerate, and Xiaoshu... huh? You’ve brought him back?"

"Yes, I brought him back. He won’t go back there again. After the New Year, co spring, I’ll send him to school," ng Yao said.

ng Zhu patted ng Yao’s hand, "You have finally co to your senses. As a mother, how can you begrudge your child? Besides, would Xiaoshu want you to suffer?"

"Yes, yes, yes, it wasn’t great before, my mind just couldn’t wrap around it, causing Xiaoshu to suffer so much," ng Yao pretended to be remorseful.

"It’s good to recognize your mistakes and change, that’s better than anything. Xiaoshu is a good kid, he won’t hold a grudge against you. Co, Xiaoshu, co here, your aunt has a gift for you," ng Zhu called to Zhao Xiaoshu.

A delicate silver coin, small and shaped like a Ruyi.

Zhao Xiaoshu did not take it.

ng Yao spoke up, "Your aunt gave it to you, so take it. Just don’t forget your aunt when you’re successful in the future!"

Only then did Zhao Xiaoshu reach out to accept it, not forgetting to politely thank ng Zhu.

"Look at this child, how good he is. Handso and well-mannered. Going to school, he might do as well as Dahe," ng Zhu said happily.
