Grandma Du and Du Shanqiang were also stunned.
They didn’t expect Xue Da to say that.
Did he really think Xue Daxi was dead?
“Darong, let the villagers see this. Otherwise, they will really think that our family is easy to bully.” After saying that, Xue Da slowly stood up, held his grandchildren in each hand, and went back to his room.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan obediently followed their grandfather. During this time, their gazes met. Ever since they found out that Sanfu was a Commander, both their family and grandfather had become even more unyielding.
When they returned to the room, their grandfather was happy and asked them quietly like an old child, “Did I do good just now? I’ve never done anything like this before.’
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan looked at each other again before they both nodded and said extremely flatteringly, “That was awesome.”
The old man’s face was flushed with joy.
As soon as Xue Wen ran out of his house, he went to the village chief’s house to borrow a gong. Then, he began to beat it all over the village. He called everyone in the village over and asked them to gather at the door of his house to take a good look at Grandma Du, Grandpa Du, and Du Shanqiang.
When Xue Dafu and the others saw Xue Wen striking the gong and greeting the entire village, they were immediately delighted and followed suit. They also brought Xue Gouzi, Xue Dabao, and Xue Xiaobao.
Xue Dahua and his family also came.
“Take a look. take a look.” Xue Darong also went all out. He stood at the gate of the courtyard and pointed at Grandpa Du and the others in the crowd. “It’s them. You know who they are even without me introducing them. Shanqiang is the in-law in our family. He’s not capable, but he actually ganged up to plot against our family. Not only did he use our family’s salary to buy concubines, but he also came to our door today and threatened us. He said that our dowry was at their house and that we wouldn’t let him work in the rice noodle shop because we are at fault. No wonder our family wanted us to treat her like she was dead. Look at what kind of husband she married and what kind of in-laws she has!”
Everyone knew Xue Darongs character and knew that Xue Darong had called them over on purpose.
Besides, Du Shanqiangs family was in the wrong in the first place. Whether it was to help the people in their village or to attract more attention, everyone immediately spoke up.
“He’s just living off a woman!”
“Shanqiang, are you mistaken? You did not marry into the family.”
“Are you still a man?!”
“Her family was kind enough to help you, but you came to extort her? What did she do wrong? Why are you clinging on to them?”
“That’s right! You better reflect on your actions. Why don’t you take a look?
Why should others help you and let you work in the shop?”
“If you were fine, would they suddenly stop you from working? Where’s your brain? Don’t you know how to think properly?”
Being surrounded by so many people, Du Shanqiangs face burned as if it was going to explode.
“Father! Mother! Are we leaving or not!” Du Shanqiang couldn’t help but shout.
Seeing that his parents were still unwilling to leave, Du Shanqiang decided to leave them alone. He really couldn’t afford to be embarra.s.sed like this. How was he going to face others in the future? How could he come to this village?
“Shanqiang! Shanqiang!’
Grandpa Du and Grandma Du had been scolded, but they were still unyielding.
They even retorted. In the end, their son gave up and ran away. It was meaningless for them to stay any longer. Naturally, they were anxious and quickly left..
