Chapter 770: Chapter 770: The Troublemaker Turns into a Spectator Chapter 770: Chapter 770: The Troublemaker Turns into a Spectator The village Party Secretary hurried over after hearing this, “Comrade, we must speak with evidence; this is not a trivial matter.”
Luo Daoren said, “Then you ask Old Master Zeng, where did his old wife, second son, and youngest son and their spouses go?”
The Secretary looked at Old Master Zeng leaning against the courtyard wall, “Uncle, where are Auntie, your second and fourth sons and their wives?”
Old Master Zeng now found it difficult to save face and did not speak.
Seeing that the old man did not speak, the Secretary turned to look at Zeng Baoliang, who was standing to the side, “Where are your second brother and little brother and their spouses?”
Zeng Baoliang shook his head, “I don’t know, after eating lunch yesterday, I haven’t seen them.”
Zeng Baoliang’s wife looked at her father-in-law, “Dad, you’re really something, sending us two to work in the fields, then mother-in-law takes the people from the second and fourth households to the city to scheme against my Big Brother’s assets and salary.
Even if you want Big Brother’s stuff, the ones with the most right to go are from our third household. It’s not second and fourth households’ turn, who have no blood relation to Big Brother. It seems, in your eyes, you don’t consider my man your son.
Is the second brother that stepmother brought into the house more dear to you than your own son? Since you look down on us, let’s just divide the family assets. We’re neither the eldest nor the youngest; we’ll contribute whatever we must for elder care and won’t have to bother you anymore.”
Zeng Baoliang looked at his own father, “Dad, you know they’ve gone to my Big Brother, don’t you?”
Old Master Zeng tried to speak several times, but every time he opened his mouth, he still couldn’t bring himself to say anything out of sheer embarrassment.
Zeng Baoliang’s eyes reddened with anger, “My Big Brother was driven out of the house without a penny to his name. His property and job shouldn’t concern the Zeng Family. And you’re still plotting against my Big Brother’s children; you’ve truly disappointed me.”
He couldn’t forget how his stepmother treated him when he was young. If it hadn’t been for Big Brother always protecting him and his sister, it’s questionable whether he’d still be alive. The pair of children brought by the stepmother even ate better than he and his sister.
When his stepmother entered the household, Big Brother couldn’t even continue his studies and had to return to farm, working odd jobs in the city during his free time. But the money he earned was taken by the stepmother. Big Brother wouldn’t have had to suffer for so many years in this house if it hadn’t been for his own and his sister’s sake.
The sons and daughters-in-law, and daughters of the second and fourth households also felt unbearably ashamed, all hanging their heads. Yet, thinking of the city job, they secretly hoped it would work out.
The second household’s son stepped forward, “Even if it was my grandma who took people to the city for my uncle’s job and found a husband for Wenxiu, you still can’t come to our door and smash things.”
Luo Xudong spoke with a cold face, “Oh? So your shameless grandma and parents can harm my cousin, and we can’t stand up for her?”
Zeng Baoliang walked up to the old man, “Dad, I’ve also had enough over the years. You know what I’m talking about. Although I’m your son, I haven’t lived as well as any stepchild in this family.
The courtyard we’re living in was built with the money from my Big Brother’s real dad, and Big Brother didn’t rely on you for a single day. On the contrary, you’ve taken quite a sum by using the names of me and my sister Xianglan from my Big Brother.
If it wasn’t for my sister-in-law’s family mishap, we might still be unable to escape your exploitation. Let’s divide the family. Son is pleading with you; don’t make me hate you.”
Old Master Zeng felt both anger and embarrassment at his son’s words, with so many villagers watching, it was as if his face was being ground into the mud. He roared, “You, you, you’re something, aren’t you? So you want to divide the family, huh? Just don’t regret it later.”
Luo Qiao stood aside, thinking to herself: Weren’t they here to seek justice? What’s happening now? It’s turned into a spectacle. Incidentally, this also fulfills the wishes of her grandfather’s younger brother.
But then again, she thought it might be for the best. If her grandfather’s full-blood brother turned out to be a good man and set up his own household, it could at least be a good thing for her uncle and aunt.
Perhaps in the future, he could protect the uncle and aunt from any troubles with the Luo family. After exchanging glances with the Luo family members, they all began to watch the show.
