Chapter 257 12
"Tang Qiyue, your family is rich now, isn't it time to start over again?" Suddenly, Tang Yaozu shouted loudly, suppressing his fear.
No matter what happens today, he must get the silver!
"Come back?" Tang Qiyue paused as she turned around and stared back at Tang Yaozu, "Why do you say come back?"
"I don't care! Third Uncle is your biological son, you have to support him! The severance letter was wrong, so you have to start over." Tang Yaozu shouted loudly, as if he was afraid that others couldn't hear him.
"Yes, the Tang family is so rich now. Look at the old Tang family. I heard they haven't had meat for a while. Old Mrs. Tang can't stand it anymore, so it's right for her to let Old Third Tang take care of them."
"What are you saying? You want to rely on me even though we broke up. Isn't that shameless?"
"But she is my mother after all, how can you be so cruel!"
"Is this really too extreme? I heard that if Old Lady Tang hadn't been so cruel as to drive the Third Wife's family out when they were fleeing from the famine, the Third Wife's family wouldn't have suffered so much. Fortunately, there was July girl, otherwise..."
Otherwise, what? Of course, they would not be able to see Tang San's family in Baile Village, and they would not have the monthly income they have now.
Hearing that everyone was defending the third branch, Tang Yaozu was so angry that he almost burst into curses.
Mo Yu received Xie Changjin's eye signal and did not immediately pull Old Lady Tang and Sun away.
Tang Qiyue crossed her arms and said, "If you want money, just tell me. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"
It was not like she hadn't expected this, and she knew how shameless the Tang family was. They would definitely come after her again.
There is no way, the temptation of money is too great.
"Yes, I just want the money! So what if the engagement is broken off! How many years can your grandma live? You must provide her with money for her survival!" Tang Yaozu stiffened his neck, not caring how annoying his words might be.
Tang Qiyue sneered, "Just tell me how much you want."
"You really want to give me money!" Xie Mingzhu understood what was going on and quickly spoke up to stop Tang Qiyue. "If it were me, I would let my cousin do this. This family is obviously trying to extort money. You gave me money the first time and they want you the second time. They are so greedy!"
"Can't we ask my cousin to take this family to jail directly so they don't get in the way?"
Everyone was frightened by Xie Mingzhu's words, especially the trembling Old Lady Tang and Mrs. Sun, who were extremely scared.
"One thousand taels!" Tang Yaozu's eyes rolled around greedily, and his words made everyone gasp in shock.
"What! He actually asked July girl for one thousand taels! He is really throwing his life away!" Someone was so scared that he covered his mouth to prevent himself from shouting.
"I didn't realize Tang Yaozu was so cruel! I thought he only wanted one hundred taels, but I didn't expect..." Someone said enviously.
One thousand taels! Even if all the people in Baile Village work together, it would take them many years to earn that much.
"I just want one thousand taels! If you don't give me one thousand taels, I will... I will..." Tang Yaozu met Xie Changjin's dark eyes and suddenly didn't know what to say next.
Tang Qiyue asked with a half-smile, "What will you do? Tell me, what will you do if I don't give you one thousand taels? Let me hear it."
Tang Yaozu gritted his teeth and said, "If you don't give me one thousand taels, I will go to the government office to sue you and let everyone know how cold-blooded and heartless you are, Tang Qiyue! You are also unfilial and don't support the elderly!"
"You're talking bullshit!" Zhao Yonghe couldn't help but curse out loud. If Tang Qiyue hadn't stopped him, he would have gone over and grabbed Tang Yaozu and beat him up.
How dare you slander your boss like this? You’re asking for a beating!
Tang Yaozu listened to Zhao Yonghe's curse and suddenly felt that it was his words that scared Tang Qiyue, so he said even more unscrupulously, "And I want one thousand taels a year. If you don't give it to me, don't blame me for being ungrateful! Tang Qiyue, it's true that you are the Crown Prince's Consort now, but you don't want to be known as a cold-blooded and unfilial person! You don't want to be stabbed in the back!"
Old Lady Tang and Madam Sun were no longer afraid and said excitedly, "That's right! Give us one thousand taels a year, and we won't go out and say you're unfilial!"
Too shameless! Many people were shocked by the shamelessness of the old Tang family and couldn't help but point at them and curse them in a low voice.
One thousand taels a year is really shameless. How can you say that?
Tang Yaozu rubbed his hands excitedly, "Hurry up and give me the silver, one thousand taels."
Tang Qiyue closed her eyes and suppressed the urge to slap someone, "No."
"Let alone a thousand taels, I won't give you even a copper coin."
"What do you mean! Do you want to be stabbed in the back?" Sun couldn't help but yell. How could she let the one thousand taels she had earned fly away?
Tang Qiyue stared at her and said, "It's up to you. Say whatever you want."
If she was really influenced by a few words from these people, would she still be alive?
"Tang Qiyue!" Tang Yaozu shouted angrily, "Are you going to give it to me or not?"
Tang Qiyue patted his chest, picked his ears, and said indifferently, "Why are you shouting so loudly?"
"No." Staring at his scarlet eyes, Tang Qiyue slowly curled her lips.
Xie Mingzhu snorted coldly, "Why are you talking so much nonsense? You dare to stop me on the road and extort money. Arrest them all!"
"Cousin, you are such a fool. You let her be bullied by these people and you didn't say a word."
Xie Changjin glanced at the dissatisfied Xie Mingzhu and said, "You are too talkative."
Tang Qiyue glared at him, "What are you doing?"
"Mo Yu, send these three people to the government. They want to talk, don't they? Let them go to the government and talk. They don't have to come back until they have explained clearly." Xie Changjin ordered in a cold voice.
Mo Yu waved to the other guards, and several of them stepped forward, covered the mouths of Tang Yaozu and the other two, and dragged them away.
Finally, it's quiet! Tang Qiyue breathed a sigh of relief.
"July, this..." Lin was a little worried. What if Tang Yaozu said something wrong and affected her daughter?
Tang Qiyue held her hand and comforted her, "Don't worry, Mom. Ah Jin knows what to do. Besides, our family has not done anything wrong. Instead, it is the Tang family that has been bullying us. Let Tang Yaozu say whatever he wants. Who knows who will suffer the loss."
The villagers looked at Xie Changjin's thundering methods and were afraid of angering him, so they ran away without saying a word.
Tang Qiyue and the others continued walking home. Although her mood was affected by what happened just now, Tang Qiyue didn't care too much.
But the eldest brother Tang from the old Tang family was devastated. He knew exactly what Old Lady Tang and the others wanted to do, but he didn't want to go out for fear of being laughed at.
Who knew that after waiting for a long time, no one came back, and when they got the silver, they were informed by Village Chief Fu that the three of them had all been arrested and taken to the government office.
He didn't care about being looked down upon by the villagers and left the village despite all the strange looks.
