Chapter 517 Forced him. Su Wan coldly glared at Grandma Lin and An Xia, originally she didn't want to bother with them. But who would have thought that these two will be so disgusting? One had an affair with a married man while the other thought that she can do whatever she wanted just because she was the elder. And what was even worse than this was the two of them were outright shameless! They made Zhang Xiaohui suffer so much but they were acting as if Zhang Xiaohui was the one who owed them. Thus, Su Wan changed the topic and sharply looked at the bewildered Grandma Lin and An Xia, " When Aunt Zhang married over to your house, she must have brought a lot of dowry didn't she? Given how greedy and vain your family is, I don't think you would have accepted her in any other situation, even if she was the reincarnation of the Goddess of wealth. By the law, if the woman divorces her husband or unfortunately meets a disastrous end, the dowry she brought with her, needs to be handed back to her or her family. Since aunt Zhang is divorcing from your family everything that belongs to her dowry would have to be handed back to her."
" And don't try to say that you don't have money in your hands, everyone in the village has seen your son wasting money like he was spilling water. Your family earns so much, that your son even has money to marry another wife, surely you can return the amount that Aunt Zhang brought with her." Then she turned to Zhang Xioahui and asked, " Aunt Zhang when you married over what did you bring with you?"
Zhang Xiaohui understood Su Wan's intention and immediately spouted out everything that she could remember, " My brother and father gave twenty silver taels to the Lin family back when I married and there was also a gold ornament that can be worn as a headdress, a jade bangle and a ruby hairpin along with these there was also pork and meat as well as some old wine, I won't ask for much but just return those twenty taels and the jewellery that you took from me Old madam Lin."
Su Wan was really proud of Zhang Xiaohui. Usually, women would just suck up everything and cry all their lives- they would think about this and that, worry about their kids and the society but did these people ever care for the women? Take Lin Che and Lin Yunxi for example, the two of them were in their teens and can be considered adults in this era but instead of saving their mother, they actually watched her getting beaten by their father and grandmother. If the children were deserving of love then it was a woman's duty to protect them with her life but if they were white-eyed wolves like Lin Che and Lin Yunxi then for whom Zhang Xiaohui was suffering for?
Su Wan turned to look at the stunned grandmother Lin and coldly spoke, " There you are - by the law of the Emperor, you owe aunt Zhang twenty taels and the gold ornaments that she brought with her, bring them out. Since she doesn't want to get at odds with you, we will ignore the meat and wine that you ate and drank. But you need to pay her what you owe her.."
She directly asked the Lin Family to pay Zhang Xiaohui what they owed her.
"No, that's impossible!" Grandma Lin immediately jumped up and angrily said, " Why should I give her my family money to her? Besides she is the one who got married to my family and ate and wore what my family gave her on her ungrateful back, who is going to count that in? If we think like that shouldn't she be the one paying me?"
Su Wan sneered, she knew the old woman would play this trick, " That's where you are wrong Old Madam Lin, when Aunt Zhang married in your family my father in law was the one earning and he was the one who was in charge of feeding your family after he left it was my husbands who paid for the things that you ate and wore- when we separated from your family, it was Aunt Lin and Aunt Zhang who took over the charge of earning money for your family. From the beginning till the end not once did you or your son earn a single coin, how come now that you are being asked to pay the dowry- the money suddenly became yours? Aunt Zhang worked for your family for twenty years, she might have gotten in trouble here and there but she has always treated you well."
Grandma Lin was stunned and a sense of panic rose in her heart. She would rather die than have Zhang Xioahui take her family's money.
She immediately sat on the ground with a plop and cried with both hands slapping her thighs, as she rocked back and forth, " Wicked! These two women are just wicked! Do you want to kill us? My grandson still needs money to study in the academy and my granddaughter needs to get married soon. My son's legs have been broken like that, from where will I get the money from? If you take the leftover money from my house, how will I treat my son? How will I marry my granddaughter? And send my grandson to the academy? If you want to take the money then you might as kill me today. That way I don't have to see you snatch our lives."
" God open your eyes, and see what's happening to my family! Someone so evil as her wants to destroy my poor family!"
Everyone in the village was speechless at this spectacular scene.
In the past, they would have been sympathetic towards Lin Ze and Old madam Lin but their family was just too much! First, they kicked the Lin brothers out without giving them a single coin and yet they were thick-skinned enough to go and trouble the Lin family. Then Lin Ze borrowed money from the loan sharks and asked Uncle Wu to lend him money, the good-hearted old man helped Lin Ze out but what did he get in return?
He was beaten by the mother and son pair until his entire face swelled like a pig. And now, it was true that Zhang Xiaohui was indeed troublesome but she was honestly true to her mother in law and husband. It could be said that she might not have been a virtuous woman but she was an obedient wife.
Yet, after getting a new flame, Lin Ze started to treat his wife like this and Old madam Lin beat up Zhang Xioahui until she almost died right in front of the crowd! How disgusting!
This family was just made up of bad elements! The disgust that the villagers had towards the old Lin family grew even more.
" I say, Old madam Lin stop crying. There is no point in wailing like a ghost, no one is going to sympathise with you," said Village head Luo, how he truly wished he could kick this family out! " You have done one horrible thing after another, first your son hooked up with a widow while he was married, does he think he is an official or the mighty emperor himself? Even the village idiot knows that a commoner is already allowed to have one wife! And if that wasn't enough, you beat your daughter in law like this! Are you looking down on the laws or what? How can you be so ruthless!"
Grandma Lin instantly stopped crying and scolded Village head Luo, if this was before she would have been scared to even say a word but right now it was a question of twenty taels! TWENTY TAELS! How can she give it up? " What do you mean by this village head, I do admit that my son was wrong in this but wasn't this woman wrong, do you have any idea what she has done? She picked up a broom and tried to hit my son! What kind of a wife does that? Even if my Ze'er went to someone else it was because this woman pushed him!"
The rotten apple surely didn't fall far from the rotten tree.
Then she jumped to her feet and pointed at Lin Che and Lin Yunxi as she said, " If you don't believe me, just ask them. They saw it too!"
When Grandma Lin pushed Lin Che and Lin Yunxi neither of them wanted to say anything but under the glare of their grandmother and the worries about their future they nodded. If their mother took the money how will they get married or study? So they couldn't be called ruthless for thinking about themselves.
The two didn't even think about how their mother was going to survive without money in her pocket!
" See!" exclaimed Grandma Lin. "It's not my Ze'er fault! This slut forced him!"
