Chapter 251

The Jiang family was clamoring and insisting that Zhong Ruyi send Sun Tao back to Zhuang Laosi, and also that she pay them the wages that Jiang Rong's three siblings had earned from working for her in the past few months.

A crowd of people gathered around, watching the fun with a bit of confusion.

Zhong Ruyi stood in front of the crowd, clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Uncles and aunts, come and help me judge this matter."

She pointed at Sun Tao and said, "This girl named Sun Tao in my store was sold by her in-laws to a man named Zhuang Laosi in Qianniu Village as a daughter-in-law. It happened that I went to Qianniu Village that day and saw Sun Tao being beaten half to death by Zhuang Laosi. I paid to buy Sun Tao from him and brought her back."

"Customers who have eaten in my shop should know that Sun Tao has two daughters and a son who help out in my shop. Her three children were bought to the town's dental clinic by her husband's family, that is, the children's biological grandmother and uncle. I just happened to need to recruit people, so I bought them back."

The crowd around was talking about what Boss Zhong said.

"Oh my God! This old woman actually sold her daughter-in-law and three grandchildren!"

"I thought that Sun Tao and her family refused to go home, so her in-laws came to our house. I didn't expect that the whole family was sold."

The faces of the Jiang family members turned green and red. Old Mrs. Jiang said loudly with some embarrassment, "So what? Since she married into my family, I have the right to decide her lifelong affairs! The fourth brother of the Zhuang family is honest and rich. She will enjoy a complete happiness if she marries him!"

Sun Tao walked in front of the crowd, rolled up his sleeves, revealing the scars on his hands.

"These were all made by Zhuang Laosi after I went to Qianniu Village! You said that this was a way to enjoy happiness, so I want to ask you if you want this blessing? If it is a blessing, why don't you let your daughter marry there and enjoy it?"

Most of the onlookers around were women. They were already very angry when they heard Zhong Ruyi say that she was sold by her mother-in-law. Then they saw the scars on her hands that could not be covered, which made them even more indignant.

"This old woman is so vicious! She married a good woman to a man who likes to beat his wife. Look at the wounds on her hands! She has such a vicious heart!"

"Pooh!"

"How dare they come to Sun Tao and the others? They sold them all and took all the money. Now they come to bother them again when they hear that they are living a good life! Damn it!"

"No way!" Jiang Si Niang gnashed her teeth in anger as she listened to the people around her slandering her.

She pointed at Sun Tao and said bitterly, "It was because this woman couldn't have children that Zhuang Lao Si beat her. Then she ran off with this so-called Boss Zhong. Zhuang Lao Si came to my house to ask for money. He wanted to get back the thirty taels of betrothal gift that Sun Tao had given him when she married her!"

"Oh my god! Thirty taels!"

The people around exclaimed, "No wonder you wanted to sell Sun Tao, it turns out it's worth so much money!"

"Then they sold all three children. They must be worth a lot of money, right? How could this old woman be so cruel? She even sold her own children?"

Jiang Si Niang looked very proud, "If you want to keep Sun Tao, you have to give us thirty taels of silver! And you have to pay Jiang Qin and Jiang Rong's wages as well?"

Zhong Ruyi couldn't help but burst out laughing, and pulled Sun Tao who wanted to argue, "What if I don't give it to you?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Dongzhi stood beside her. His expression was cold, but his muscular body made the Jiang family members feel a little scared.

Jiang Erlang and Jiang Sanlang are not tall. When standing up, they are only half a head taller than Zhong Ruyi. Compared with Chen Dongzhi who is 1.9 meters tall, they are simply nothing.

"...What do you want to do? If you don't want to give money, then give it to others!" Old Mrs. Jiang was frightened by Chen Dongzhi's physique and said with difficulty.

Afraid that Chen Dongzhi would suddenly attack them, he quickly reached out and pulled his two sons behind him.

A group of people were making a lot of noise, and Zhong Ruyi didn't have time to deal with them, so he asked Jiang Qin to call people early.

The people from the dental office were the closest, and they arrived just after the group had a few words.

When I saw that they were members of the Jiang family, I was overwhelmed.

The visitor was none other than a young man named Huang Guanghua, also known as Ahua, who had previously received the Jiang family.

He frowned and said, "Why are you here again? It's never going to end, right?"

Seeing that he was not afraid at all, Old Lady Jiang put her hands on her hips and said, "Why can't we come? Since she took away my grandchildren and my daughter-in-law, she has to give me an explanation!"

Huang Guanghua was overwhelmed, he had never heard of anyone selling a person to their pawnshop, taking the money, and now turning around and wanting to take the person back?

If they were really allowed to do this, would their dental practice still be able to operate?

If everyone does this in the future, do you really think their pawnshops are running relief halls?

"You sold Jiang Qin and the others to us, signed a contract to sell them and paid them money. Now you turn around and want to take Jiang Qin and the others back from their master. Are there people like you in this world?"

Old Lady Jiang's eyes were about to spit fire. "When you gave me your fingerprints, you didn't tell me that we couldn't come back to find Jiang Qin and the others. They are all my grandchildren. They are making money and living well now. What's wrong with giving us a hand?"

Huang Guanghua looked incredulous, "I didn't say that? Do I have to ask Boss Zhong to show you their indentures before you admit it? It's clearly written in black and white. Once you sign the indenture, you belong to someone else's family. Your life, death, wealth and honor will have nothing to do with you in the future!"

The crowds around were talking about it, "How could they be so shameless? They've already signed the contract to sell themselves, and yet they still dare to come to our house!"

"Isn't it? This is the first time I've seen such a person. It's really an eye-opener!"

Zhong Ruyi patted Chen Dongzhi gently and said softly, "Brother Dongzhi, go to my room and take out Jiang Qin and the others' indentures. They are in the small box in my closet."

"Okay." Chen Dongzhi nodded and walked into the store quickly.

Jiang Si Niang didn't care about all this. She wanted Zhong Ruyi to return the thirty taels of silver she had gotten from Zhuang Lao Si to them. This was what Old Lady Jiang had promised her, that she would give her half of it as a dowry.

She looked at Zhong Ruyi with an impatient look in her eyes, "I don't care how you took Sun Tao away in the first place, but Zhuang Lao Si wants to take back the thirty taels of silver that he gave us. You have to give us the thirty taels, otherwise Sun Tao will have to go with us!"

The old lady really made me laugh by getting into bed.

Zhong Ruyi did laugh. "I spent money to buy Sun Tao from Zhuang Lao Si. Why should I give you another thirty taels of silver? Can you sell it twice to two people?"

"That's right, I'm Boss Zhong's man now! Why should I listen to you! You sold me once and you want to sell me a second time? No way!" Sun Tao followed up with another statement, spitting on the ground.

"Pay attention to your manners and don't spit anywhere." Zhong Ruyi turned around and said to her.
