Sixty years old with the army, the heirless boss loves his fertile wife

Chapter 24: Stealing the Dowry

"No, I don't agree!"

Tang's father was supported by his stepmother and stopped in front of the car, not allowing Chen Dazhuang and others to move the boxes into the car.

The crutch in his hand pressed on the dowry box carried by Chen Dazhuang and Hu Peng, and he was almost sitting on it.

When Tang Qiyue came out, she saw such a confrontation scene. The three sons of the Tang family who followed her all looked ashamed. They had never heard of a married girl's dowry being withheld by her family.

The old father is getting old and confused, but they still have their dignity.

Big Brother Tang kept persuading Father Tang, but Father Tang couldn't explain why. He just said in a bad tone: "Don't bother with my business. If I say no, it means no!"

Brother Tang looked at Tang Qiyue with an apologetic look.

Although they are not born of the same mother, Tang Qiyue is pretty. She has lived with her mother since she was a child and they only see each other a few times during the holidays. So Brother Tang treats this sister quite well.

"Dad, what are you doing? Qiyue and her brother-in-law are leaving, so why are you withholding the dowry? Our family doesn't lack these things!"

Tang Chunlan's second brother, Tang Chunlan's half-sister, grabbed Tang's father. He also felt ashamed. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that his own father would do such a thing.

It was Tang Qiyue's parents who forced her to marry a substitute. Now that she's married, they want the dowry back. Is this something a normal person can do?
Even Tang San's brother came to persuade him, but Tang's father was determined to get the dowry box back.

Tang Qiyue looked at this scene and instead of getting angry she laughed. She knew that Tang's father was anxious, but what could she do?

"Dad, if you insist on taking my dowry away, I, Tang Qiyue, won't stop you, but I have always been clear about gratitude and grudges!"

Tang Qiyue took out a wood-chopping axe from behind the door, walked directly to Tang's father, and motioned Chen Dazhuang and Hu Peng to put the box on the ground.

"Then I will chop these boxes up. After all, these dowry boxes disgust me!"

Father Tang's face changed drastically when he saw Tang Qiyue raising the axe and chopping down without hesitation. He didn't even care about his old age and hit Tang Qiyue's wrist hard with the crutch in his hand.

Zhan Zeye, who had been watching from the side, drew his gun and shot when Tang's father raised his crutches.

These things happened in just a flash, so even though some people watched the whole process, no one could stop it except for changing their expressions.

Tang Qiyue leaned back and was held in Zhan Zeye's arms. He shot with one hand, and the bullet went through the crutch and exploded directly, with wood chips flying everywhere. The noise scared everyone, and they all ran away with their heads in their hands.

Father Tang stared blankly at the crutch with only a dragon head left, and it took him a long time to recover.

"Dad, are you okay?"

Brother Tang and the others finally reacted and hurried over to check on Tang's father. The axe in Tang Qiyue's hand fell to the ground. Chen Dazhuang, Hu Peng and two comrades instinctively took out their pistols from their waists and aimed at Tang's father and the others.

That kind of scene is unimaginable for ordinary people.

No matter how powerful Tang's father was, he was old after all. It was only his years of experience that kept him from falling down. He just glanced woodenly at the muzzles of several guns, and finally realized what kind of person he had provoked.

As his sons screamed, his knees became as soft as noodles and his body fell backwards uncontrollably.

Zhan Zeye put away his gun and signaled Chen Dazhuang and the others to do the same. They all had legal guns, and in special circumstances they could shoot directly without reporting.

As the black muzzles of the guns disappeared, many people hiding in the corners breathed a sigh of relief, as if they had just walked back from the gates of hell.

At this time, everyone looked towards the Zhan family's yard again with fear in their eyes. They also understood that they would rather offend the King of Hell than offend the Zhan family in the future. There was an evil star in the Zhan family who could shoot at any time.

"Tang Yaozong, are you getting old and confused? I told you yesterday that my wife's dowry was donated to the country. This time I am sending her over with the dowry. Are you trying to steal something from the country?"

Zhan Zeye's voice was quite loud, and the neighbors who came out one after another also heard it. Only then did they realize how shameless this old man Tang's father was. He actually wanted to snatch back his daughter's dowry. He was indeed a profiteer who bullied people!
The three sons of the Tang family, who were unaware of the truth, were blushing and too embarrassed to raise their heads. Regardless of their father's struggle, they carried their old father and stuffed him into the car.

"Brother-in-law, my father is old and confused. He just doesn't want my little sister to go with the army. He doesn't really want to get the dowry back. Don't bother with him. July is a righteous month. It's a good thing to donate the dowry to the country. Our Tang family is not stingy. We have decided to donate all our assets to the country!"

Brother Tang gritted his teeth, knowing that if he couldn't handle this matter well today, the Tang family would most likely be doomed.

The Tang family was already in a precarious situation and was on the verge of collapse at any time. Originally, they had a relationship with Zhan Zeye and could be linked to the people behind him, but after being interfered with by Tang's father, the Tang family's property could no longer be saved. They could only hope that the Tang family would donate all their property and save the lives of the Tang family members.

Zhan Zeye looked down at Tang Qiyue, and seeing that she didn't react at all, he knew that she didn't want to add insult to injury at this moment, so he put on a smile.

"Brother-in-law has such a high level of awareness. It is a blessing for the Tang family. On behalf of the working people, I would like to thank the Tang family for their generosity!"

After Zhan Zeye finished speaking, Brother Tang smiled bitterly, waved his hand and said it was not necessary.

Everyone knows how to say polite words. The neighbors who came to watch the fun also joined in and praised the Tang family for being righteous.

The Tang family left quickly and the dowry box was moved back into the carriage.

The four military wives who were originally sitting in the carriage had all gotten off the car when they heard the noise. Now they were looking at the rosewood dowry boxes that filled most of the carriage, and then at their large, patched bags in the corner.

The contrast was so strong that everyone's expression looked a little unnatural.

It just so happened that these military wives all had children with them, with at least two children in each family. The adults could hold back, but the children couldn't help being curious. They kept hiding behind their mothers and looking at Tang Qiyue.

Tang Qiyue was so beautiful, so beautiful that she didn’t seem like someone they could get to know.

Tang Qiyue noticed those children, took out the candies she had prepared long ago, and asked Zhan Zeye if she could give them to them.

"It's up to you, kid. Those are the wives of my comrades. Don't be surprised if they need to call you sister-in-law!"

Zhan Zeye reminded her and Tang Qiyue exclaimed. Before she understood why she was surprised, she immediately reacted.

She is the youngest, so why should we call her sister-in-law? And Zhan Zeye is definitely not the oldest among their comrades?

However, she couldn't figure it out for the time being, so Tang Qiyue didn't think too much about it. Instead, she smiled and stuffed candies into the children's hands. The four military wives expressed their gratitude and indeed called her sister-in-law.

Returning to Zhan Zeye's side, Tang Qiyue picked up the axe on the ground and asked, "How do you know they will call me sister-in-law?"
