Chapter 215 Making trouble
Li Erniu's verdict came out quickly.
On the afternoon of the second day after the incident, the process of Li Erniu's crime and her crimes were posted on the government bulletin board. The final sentence was execution in the autumn.
Li Taohua only found out about this matter when she heard the diners discussing it.
"I heard that the government went to the countryside and dug up the body of the guilty woman's mother-in-law, re-examined the crime scene, and interrogated the guilty woman. They heard her confess her crime herself before they made the verdict."
"Isn't it said that all this is caused by the death of her husband? How did her husband die?"
"Her husband was a farmhand for the Xia family. He was on his way to collect debts for his master when he was met by robbers. The robbers stole the money he had collected and even killed him."
"So, you're working for your boss. The Xia family is so wealthy, so why don't you give them any compensation?"
"What compensation? That family is all dead, and the only surviving grandson is missing. I don't know if he was killed by his mother or ran away."
Li Taohua returned to the counter and said to Tang Dafu, who was getting a glass of wine, "Li Erniu's sentence has been announced. She will be executed in the autumn."
"Finally, we don't have to worry about this crazy woman coming out to hurt our family." Tang Dafu said, "This is a good thing, wife."
"It's a good thing for us, but it's not good for the villagers. The village chief originally wanted to suppress this matter and didn't want the village's reputation to be affected further. Now that the government has visited and posted the notice of Li Erniu's verdict, the things that were previously concealed can no longer be covered up."
"That has nothing to do with us. We just did what we had to do. If Li Erniu hadn't caused us any trouble, we wouldn't have killed her, right? In the end, she deserved it."
"Don't worry, Mom. Our family is the victim. No matter who judges this matter, it cannot be blamed on us." Qin Huiyin said.
"That's true." Li Taohua's brows relaxed. "Besides, our family is not a pushover. If anyone wants to cause trouble for us, they have to ask us if we agree."
Suddenly there was a sound of quarreling.
Hearing this, Li Taohua put her hands on her hips and said, "I just said we're not pushovers, and now someone's here to cause trouble? I want to see who dares to come to my territory and cause trouble."
Qin Huiyin followed Li Taohua.
Tang Dafu quickly handed the wine to the waiter and said, "This is what the guests at table three ordered. Send it over quickly."
After saying that, he chased after her and followed closely beside his wife.
"I'm your boss's brother-in-law. We're family, don't you understand? Do we need to pay for meals together?" Deng Gui said arrogantly, his hands on his hips. "If you don't believe me, call your boss out and ask him."
"It's impossible for our boss to have a brother-in-law."
"Why not? Isn't your boss Tang Dafu? I'm his brother-in-law."
"I was wondering who it was, it turns out to be you, you scabby dog." Li Taohua asked the people in front of her to make way and squeezed into the crowd.
Deng Gui subsided a bit when he saw Li Taohua, and put on a smug look: "Sister-in-law, you don't even care about your servants, and you're actually asking relatives for money. You're crazy about money! Relatives come to take care of the business, so you shouldn't give them more good things, right?"
"First of all, they are not my servants and did not sell themselves to us. Secondly, I am not the boss here, and my husband is even less so. You want to take advantage of us without even asking who the boss here is." Li Taohua said sarcastically.
"Your whole family is here, how could you not be the boss here? Which boss is so kind to invite your whole family to come here and support them?" Deng Gui obviously didn't believe it.
"Who is your boss?" Li Taohua asked the waiter next to her.
"Last name: Xia."
"Did you hear that? Their boss's surname is Xia," Li Taohua said. "Although we're not the boss here, if a relative really comes, we can treat him to a meal. However, if that person were you, you wouldn't even give him a bite of the leftovers. Get out now, and we'll pretend we didn't see you. If you don't get out..."
Li Taohua slapped her hands.
Several tall men came over and clenched their fists towards Deng Gui.
Deng Gui's face looked grim, but facing so many tall men, he didn't dare to offend them directly.
He rolled his eyes, sat down on the ground, and muttered loudly: "Ouch, my friend hit me, and my legs suddenly became paralyzed..."
Qin Huiyin said to the waiter next to her.
The guy nodded and turned to leave.
Not long after, he came over with a bunch of fine needles and shouted, "Make way, make way, I have needles here, I can give him acupuncture, as long as we fill them all up, we can cure him."
When Deng Gui saw the needles, his scalp went numb. He stopped pretending to be injured or sick and got up and ran away.
Li Taohua put her hands on her hips and cursed, "Shameless scabby, why are you running? It's not too late to run away after we've pricked you full of needles! These needles won't kill you anyway. We'll wait until you're as thorny as a hedgehog and see if you still dare to behave."
"Now that Deng Gui has come to the city, he'll definitely go look for my aunt and cousin," Tang Luwu said. "Is everything okay with my cousin and aunt?"
"I've warned Shaoyao before that she follows the county magistrate's son around all day. He's rather playful, so it's impossible for him to stay indoors. But my aunt is helping out in the kitchen, so if she doesn't want to go out, the county government office is her safest haven."
After Deng Gui ran out of Sister Chuan Chuan Xiang, he cursed: "Is it so great to be rich? You don't even recognize your relatives."
Deng Gui heard that Tang Dafu and his friends were doing business in the city. After entering the city, he asked someone and soon found out their location, so he wanted to take advantage of them.
Now that he hadn't taken advantage of her, he could only go find his good daughter who worked at the county government office. He couldn't take advantage of his relatives, but his own daughter couldn't possibly ignore him, right?
"Where did this troublemaker come from? Can you just enter the county government office whenever you want?" The gatekeeper stopped Deng Gui outside.
"My daughter is the eldest maidservant of the county magistrate's son. Gentlemen, please be kind and let me in to find my daughter." Deng Gui said with a lecherous look on his face.
"This is the county government office, not your village. Let alone your daughter being the young master's maid, even if she were the young master's maid, you wouldn't be allowed to come and go as you please."
Deng Gui wanted to say more, but when he saw a carriage driving out of the county government office, and the person in the carriage was none other than Deng Shaoyao, the money-loser whom Deng Gui had been beating and scolding for ten years, he hurriedly chased after it.
"Wait... stop..." Deng Gui ran after the carriage.
Deng Shaoyao heard the sound, lifted the curtain, took a look, and frowned.
"What's wrong, Sister Shaoyao?" asked the girl who was dressed like Deng Shaoyao.
"The one chasing the carriage is my father." Deng Shaoyao smiled bitterly, "He's here to ask me for money."
"So he's the wicked father who sold your two sisters and beat and scolded you and your mother all day long!" the maid said. "Don't be afraid, I'll help you vent your anger and make him never dare to come after you again."
