Yan Ruyu couldn't imagine how Madam Wu had lived with a man like Uncle Wu for so many years.

I am bullied every day and everything is unfair. I am lucky not to suffer from depression.

If she met a man like this... Bah! Yan Ruyu cursed secretly in her heart, how could it be possible?

I looked at Huo Changhe beside me and realized that it was you.

Huo Changhe was listening with great interest. No wonder Yinding and the others loved to go to the abbot to listen to his rumors, anecdotes and gossip. It was really interesting.

Noticing Yan Ruyu's gaze, he turned around and asked, "What's the matter?"

Yan Ruyu suddenly came over and kissed him on the lips.

Huo Changhe was startled, then surprised. He moved closer and wanted to continue, but Yan Ruyu smiled silently, pushed him away, and pointed inside.

Uncle Wu finally spoke again: "I gave the shop to you. I was sincere and didn't hold a grudge. Mother is wronging me by saying this."

"My third brother has been asking for money non-stop for the past few years. All my money comes from the shop. Now I am tired and don't want to work anymore. Anyway, my third brother wants a lot more this time, so why not just redeem it and give him as much as I can."

Seeing that what he said was not false nor was he angry, Wu Laosan rolled his eyes and thought, who cares about the money? He just had to get it first.

"Since big brother said so, mother, don't refuse."

Old Madam Wu frowned. Although she was not very happy and felt that this was tantamount to killing the goose that lays the golden eggs, but at this juncture... forget it, let's just take care of the present first.

"Forget it, that's it," she looked at the maid beside her, "Go find the housekeeper to handle this matter."

Wu Laosan's money must be handed over quickly. This is urgent and cannot be delayed.

Madam Wu looked at Master Wu Er and said, "Master, your five thousand taels..."

Master Wu said quietly, "What do you mean five thousand taels?"

Mrs. Wu San raised her voice: "Hey, the five thousand taels you just mentioned..."

Master Wu looked at her with a sinister look in his eyes: "Why are you butting in when the men are talking? Do you understand the rules? This is not your third room's yard, you are allowed to run wild."

Mrs. Wu San choked, refused to accept and said nothing more, and poked Wu Lao San with her hand.

Wu Laosan cried out in pain and said dissatisfiedly: "Second brother, what do you mean? You don't pay?"

"Why should I pay?" Master Wu asked, "You are the one who caused the disaster. You sold the grain illegally and didn't pay me a penny. Now that the incident has happened, they come to your house and ask you to pay back the money, and you ask me for it?"

"I'm not that mean. I'm paying for you, but you don't have a penny. You're talking so confidently. Don't tell me I don't have five thousand taels. Even if I did, I wouldn't give it to you."

"You..." Wu Lao San was so angry that his face turned blue. "Mother, look at him!"

Madam Wu didn't expect Mr. Wu to say that. She frowned and said, "Second Master, you..."

"Okay, you don't have to say anything about brotherhood, or me being the second brother? I don't want to be the second brother, whoever wants to be the second brother can be the second brother," Wu Lao Er interrupted her directly, "What a joke, the whole family revolves around him, is he a good material? He's not good at other things, but he's the best at eating, drinking and having fun, and he's addicted to gambling, he's a bottomless pit."

"Gambling, huh, do you have the brains for that? No matter how much money you put in, I'll make you lose it. Why should you treat my hard-earned money as cheap?"

Wu Laosan was so angry that he wanted to jump up and curse at him, but the pain was unbearable if he moved.

I could only lie on my stomach and yell, "Mother, Mother!"

Madam Wu was also very angry: "Second brother, what nonsense are you talking about? Do you still have me as your mother in your eyes?"

Mrs. Wu San curled her lips and fanned the flames: "Mother, I think he is still blaming you for Zhou's matter..."

Before he could finish his words, Master Wu Er jumped out from the shadows like a ferocious beast and slapped Madam Wu San in the face, knocking her to the ground with blood immediately flowing from the corner of her mouth.

She also knocked over a chair, which fell on Wu Laosan, who screamed in pain.

Mrs. Wu San felt dizzy, and Mrs. Wu Lao was also stunned.

"you……"

"How dare you mention her to me!" Mr. Wu stood in the light and shadow, his whole body filled with rage and his eyes red. "Bitch, how dare you still have the nerve?"

As he spoke, he was still not satisfied, so he reached out and pushed everything on the table - the snack plates, the tea kettle, everything - to the ground.

There was a loud crash and everything fell to the ground.

All sounds were still.

Yan Ruyu frowned slightly. She remembered that Princess Mingzhao mentioned that the second wife of the Wu family died early, but the princess did not say why she died, and she did not ask.

Now it seems that there must be a hidden story.

It seems to be related to old man Wu San and the old lady.

If these two women work together, who knows what crazy things they will do.

Madam Wu's lips trembled as she spoke: "Second brother, what are you crazy about?"

"Crazy? I've been crazy for a long time," Mr. Wu gritted his teeth, pointed at her, then at Mr. Wu and his wife, "You guys drove me crazy."

"You treated the eldest brother harshly. When he was a child, you told us that he was born out of wedlock and not by you, so you told us to bully him. What about me? The third brother and I were both born by you, so how did you treat me? I'm not much better than the eldest brother!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? How have I treated you badly? You are also my son..."

"Really? The third child is the one you love the most. If you hadn't spoiled him, would he have become the useless person he is now? He earns money to spend on himself, so why should others earn money for him to spend? "

"And this woman, who is she? Just because she married the third brother and can say a few words to coax you, you treat her like a treasure."

"Mrs. Zhou," Master Wu said, his throat rolling. "She married me, and how did you treat her? You teamed up with this woman to bully her, and asked her to stew bird's nest for you in the heavy rain. If she hadn't fallen in the rain, would the child have been lost?"

Mrs. Wu San struggled and whispered, "I didn't..."

Mr. Wu grabbed the teacup and smashed it at her. She screamed and dared not move.

"That's not all. The child is gone, and you blame her for it. You asked her to kneel in the ancestral hall and reflect on her mistakes. She couldn't stand it, so she ran back to her parents' home."

Master Wu's face was grim: "When I'm not at home, you can do whatever you want. If she doesn't run back to her parents' home, and she meets bandits on the road, will she...will she be humiliated and hanged?"

Yan Ruyu's eyebrows jumped when she heard this. Although she didn't know the whole story, she could guess what had happened from Master Wu's roar.

No wonder he was so angry. When he was not at home, his pregnant wife should have been taken better care of. Unexpectedly, when he came back, the child was gone, and his wife was humiliated and committed suicide.

But the culprit was alive and well, jumping up and down.

Who wouldn't go crazy?

Now he is forced to pay money, and the first thing he asks for is five thousand taels.

How dare these people?

Madam Wu whispered, "I didn't expect that..."

"I won't pay for it," said Mr. Wu, who obviously didn't want to listen to her nonsense. "If the third brother is beaten to death, I will applaud."
