Chapter 539 - 533_1
"How preposterous! This is no place for you to run amok. Get out of here swiftly, or I’ll beat you too! I don’t care if you’re a woman or not, a shrew like you deserves a lesson!" Liu Aniu said, pretending to move to strike Madam Ping.
Madam Ping was a woman who bullied the weak and feared the strong. Seeing Liu Aniu’s attitude, she was terrified, reasoning that since Zhao Erhu’s family had dared to beat Zhao Pingshun to such a state, his words were undoubtedly not empty threats. She wasn’t foolish enough to stay and invite blows upon herself and quickly helped Zhao Pingshun to leave.
Zhao Wufu’s family saw that Madam Ping had stopped causing trouble, and also fearing Zhao Erhu’s current influence, naturally did not dare to initiate a conflict with the Zhao Family anymore. They followed behind Madam Ping and left. However, Zhao Wufu’s eldest daughter-in-law stood there, reluctant to leave. She looked at Liu Aniu and said, "Manager Liu, if I must go, I will, but I need to gather my bedding and belongings. Surely we should be allowed to take our own things."
"Your family’s things? You must be mistaken. When you first moved in, everyone came empty-handed, bringing nothing with them. Bedding, grain, and all necessities were provided by our Dongjia and his wife, especially for your family, who didn’t even have clothes to ward off the cold. The Dongjia’s wife, seeing your thin attire, even had extra garments made for you. In fact, the clothes you’re wearing belong to our Dongjia, and although we haven’t asked you to take them off, you have the audacity to claim they are yours. Truly ungrateful wolves, only someone like you could utter such words."
Zhao Wufu’s eldest daughter-in-law, although slightly ashamed by these words, still thought of the soft, comfortable quilts and the sweet potatoes, unwilling to give up. "Manager Liu, you’ve got it wrong. Since the Dongjia gave us those items, they became ours. Since when does anyone take back what they’ve given? Our Dongjia, with such vast wealth, surely wouldn’t be so petty. Besides, I’m sure the Dongjia wouldn’t want used items back, right?"
The last part of what Zhao Wufu’s eldest daughter-in-law said was true. However, even if the Zhao Family no longer wanted these things, they certainly wouldn’t let these shameless people benefit. It’s better to throw them away than to give them to this family. Furthermore, though these items were used, they were still of good quality many others would want them.
"Stop your nonsense. Our Dongjia’s possessions, even if thrown out, would not be given to you ungrateful wretches. Leave at once, or I really will start hitting. Do you think I’m bluffing?"
