Compensation

Liu's father was very angry and looked at Old Zhou, "Brother-in-law, you can't say such things lightly." "My eldest son has always been honest."

Old Zhou hadn't spoken yet, but Uncle Qian shouted, "Honest?" Is it ethical to slip a divorce letter to his wife early in the morning and send her away in shabby clothes? If there's an illegitimate child, we'll know in ten months. I don't believe your Liu family would be willing to get rid of that child. In ten months, we'll see if the Liu family has a new addition!

Liu's father's face was as dark as a storm cloud, and his hands were trembling with anger.

The entire Liu family was extremely angry, feeling that the Zhou family was being too unreasonable.

The two sides argued from morning to afternoon, and the Zhou family was pressuring them at every step. Liu's father barely held the line and dared not retreat.

Finally, Uncle Qian broke free from the hands of his two brothers and rushed up behind Zhou Erlang, scolding Liu's father, "When our sister is being bullied, we can't just stand by. Let's give them a beating to vent our sister's anger!" "What do you think, Liu Village Chief?"

The village chief of Liu Village wanted to express that it was incorrect, but in the countryside, it wasn't deemed truly inappropriate.

Who doesn't have daughters, who doesn't have sisters?

He said vaguely, "Just don't beat her too badly."

Zhou Erlang and Zhou Sirlang rolled up their sleeves and approached Liu Dalang, who was hiding behind his mother, calling out, "Mother, save me, save me!"

Liu's mother screamed, "This is my Liu family!" How dare you, how dare you, old man! Look at how unreasonable the Zhou family is." "This kind of daughter-in-law should have been divorced long ago…"

"You shut up!" Liu's father said angrily, glaring at Zhou Erlang and Zhou Sirlang. He knew that today they had to talk and reluctantly said, "We can agree to the separation, but as for the dowry, it was always in her hands from the beginning." Our family couldn't afford it, but she hasn't contributed anything to our family during these years, and we are willing to fundraise to buy her a similar one.

This meant that further compensation was not possible.

Old Zhou coldly smiled and didn't say anything, while Aunt Qian stepped forward and said, "Father-in-law, whether you are aware of my sister-in-law's dowry or not, your mother-in-law certainly knows." At the time, she brought in two sets of bedding. She used one herself, and the other was taken by your mother-in-law for her own use. Every day, she lies there, unaware that the bedding was part of my sister-in-law's dowry.

Liu's father was somewhat embarrassed.

Aunt Qian continued to recount how the items were used, and no one knew better than Zhou Xi how to use them. After all, those were her own dowry, and she remembered every detail. Most of the items were used by Zhou Xi herself, while some were utilized when the Liu family faced difficulties, prompting Zhou Xi to bring them out to assist the family.

At this moment, Aunt Qian didn't care whether the money was used on her sister-in-law or not. In her opinion, at that time, her sister-in-law was considered a daughter-in-law of the Liu family, and the money used should have come from the Liu family. Even if it was for her medical treatment, it should have been covered by the Liu family.

So, she believed that the money was borrowed from the Liu family, and in the end, it all became part of the Liu family's dowry.

The Liu family was very angry and felt that the Zhou family was being too unreasonable.

The two sides argued from morning to afternoon, and the Zhou family was pressuring them at every step. Liu's father barely held the line and dared not retreat.

After all, besides the eldest son, they still had the second son who hadn't married yet. They couldn't give the money for marrying a daughter-in-law just to divorce her. After all, he would have to marry again later.

Uncle Qian impatiently shouted, "If your Liu family doesn't agree, it's fine. We won't accept the divorce letter, and you can forget about the separation letter for now." Drag it out for three to five years. Our daughter is not in a rush to get married. I want to see if the illegitimate child of your Liu family can stay in her belly for three to five years before being born!
