Chapter 704 Marrying the Wrong Man or the Right One? (25)
The dog barked and whimpered. Looking at the flashing knife light, the originally ferocious big dog was so scared that it hid in the haystack.
boom!
"You foul-mouthed villain, here comes your grandpa!"
Shi An's roar woke up the Chun family. An old woman was so scared that her legs were shaking and she stammered, "Murder... murder!"
"Murder may not be necessary, but justice is sought."
The man's smile seemed to be filled with sharp needles, and he continued to sneer: "You thief, I don't know how you have been making up stories about me all these years. Who likes men? Your whole family, young and old, likes men."
"Brother Anzi, what's wrong with you? Just clear up any misunderstandings."
"Stop trying to get close to me. Chun Lao Si tells everyone that I like men. I can't stand this."
"I know brother you..."
"Get lost! I have chopped off many thieves' heads with this sword. Are you curious and want to try it?"
The man no longer dared to stop him, so he could only quickly pull his brother out of the room and said, "Hurry up and explain to Brother Anzi, who told you to tell such nonsense to frame the villagers?"
Chun Lao Si was hiding behind the door, but was pulled out by his brother. He looked at the terrifying sword and couldn't help but scream: "Help!"
"If you don't explain yourself clearly today, you may have to give up your life."
Their eyes met, and the cold eyes like blades frightened Chun Lao Si so much that he dared not utter a word. He knelt down and said, "Brother Anzi, it was not me. I did not say that you like men. It was Yao Sanniang who said that."
"really?"
"I am Chun Lao Si, an honest and upright person. Everyone in this area can attest to this."
"I'll ask that gossipy woman if you dare to lie to me, just like this table."
Chun Laosi's family patted their chests and calmed down after seeing Shi An leave angrily. But when they looked at the table they had unfolded, Chun Laosi lightly tapped it, and the table instantly broke into two pieces.
Meanwhile, there was a hasty knock on Yao Sanniang's door. She said, "Why are you knocking? I'm here."
When she opened the door and saw the flash of a knife, Yao Sanniang was so scared that she fell to the ground, her face full of horror.
"But you tell everyone that I like men? You gossipy woman, it seems you don't want this tongue anymore?"
"Ah... No, it wasn't me. It was San Laizi who said that. He said that you never went to the gambling house, but went to Qingfengxuan."
"It seems like none of you want to live anymore. If we don't make this clear today, no one will have an easy life."
"Yes, yes, brother Anzi, don't be angry. Let's talk it over nicely."
Seeing Shi An leaving with the knife, Yao Sanniang held the door, but she didn't expect the door to break into two pieces and fall to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
But Shi's mother was afraid that Shi An would get into trouble out of anxiety, so she followed him all the way, and followed him to four or five houses before she stopped him.
"Son, if you chop this man in half, how will your parents live? They are old and it is not a pity to die, but you are still young."
The man whose arm was held said to the villagers who were watching the fun, "I, Shi An, have never neglected any of you villagers, nor have I insulted anyone, but you have made up bad things about me. Doesn't your conscience feel bad about it?"
The guilty man lowered his head, not daring to look Shi An in the eye, let alone look at the big knife, for fear that Shi An would accidentally send him to hell.
"Anzi, it's all because of those women's gossips. I'm sorry for you in this matter."
"My wife is also a bad-mouther. You've been wronged, brother. I'll teach her a lesson when I get home."
"My brother got married yesterday. I was out fishing and didn't know what happened. I didn't help him pick up the bride in time. I feel very ashamed."
The villagers felt that this place was depressing and suffocating, and could only scold their wives.
Shi An naturally didn't want his family to be unable to stay in Tengyun Village, so he softened his tone and said, "I, Shi An, always speak my mind and never shy away. Today, I was angered by this rumor."
"Don't mention you, brother. We would be angry if we heard it. Brother, you are a man of seven feet tall. You have been making a living in the military camp for the past few years. Your nonsense is like a duck that quacks wherever it runs. These women are really unreasonable."
"Sister-in-law got it wrong. I'm sorry, brother."
"If anyone tells this story again in the future, you should go find that person, Brother Anzi. This kind of person is really annoying."
"No need for you to look for it, brother. I will personally help you argue and seek justice."
Mother Shi said, "Son, the villagers never meant to laugh at you."
With so many steps, Shi An stopped while he was ahead and said, "I, Shi An, will compensate for the broken tables, chairs, doors, etc. at their original prices. I was wrong to lose my temper today."
The clan leader held Shi An's arm and said lovingly, "You grew up under my grandfather's watch. I know your temper very well. I'm sorry for wronging you. Not paying you back is also a lesson to those gossipers."
"I have to pay for the damage. My reputation is not good to begin with, but I am a decent person and I will not say one thing and do another. I will ask my mother to pay the compensation door to door later."
"Brother Anzi, these are worthless things. We don't need them."
Shi An glared at the man and said, "If you don't take the compensation, you are looking down on me."
"Nothing."
"I will be returning to the military camp soon. There will be no one to take care of my family. I hope you will take care of me."
"Do not worry."
"I have something going on at home, so I won't chat with you anymore. We'll talk again when there's a chance." After saying this, Shi An strode away and returned home.
"Don't cause trouble again."
"Father, I am just angry at those people for saying such bad things about me. I have important matters to attend to in the army, so I need to leave immediately."
Shi An entered the room and saw the woman still lying on the bed. He opened the cabinet, took out ten taels of silver and threw them on the bedside.
"Hey, ugly woman, wake up!" He shook the woman's shoulders. The smooth touch reminded him of yesterday. His heart skipped a beat and his movements were not as rough as at the beginning.
He spoke more gently, "Wake up."
"What?" A slightly hoarse female voice sounded from under the quilt, with a hint of impatience.
"Is it possible to fuck you?"
"roll!"
"Oh, I didn't expect you to still have a temper. Here are ten taels of silver by the bed. Take the silver and leave, and find a good family to marry into."
The person under the quilt did not answer, so Shi An continued: "I am ugly, vulgar in words and deeds, never considerate, never gentle, and never like ugly women."
"What did you say?"
"I'm trying to reason with you. I'm currently serving in the military. If anything goes wrong, you'll be a widow. With your looks, you're still a widow with no men around."
"You are the widow, your whole family are widows!" Gu Yuxi, who had been woken up by the man many times, said in a loud voice.
"I'm not lying. You and I did have a brief affair last night. Five more taels at most. I don't like you. Do you understand?" The man raised his voice this time, and his patience gradually wore away.
