Divorce with three kids? I'll build a house and eat meat, driving my in-laws crazy.

Chapter 172 Although I didn't give it to you, you must return it!

Just then, Pepe pushed open the door and came out.

Seeing that Bai Lu hadn't returned yet, she was worried and prepared to go out to check on her, only to overhear some outrageous remarks from He Dajiao and He Xiaotou.

She put her hands on her hips and said, "Some toads who aren't married yet dream of eating unmarried swan meat? And they call this a match made in heaven? It's absolutely hilarious!"

The female sparrow in the sky and the cow in the field are both without partners. Are you two also a match made in heaven?
"A toad lusts after a swan, but it doesn't even look in the mirror to see how many hairs it has."

He Dajiao and He Xiaotou were stunned by the scolding, but since they were right in front of Li Ruru's house, they didn't dare to do anything to Peipei.

Bai Lu looked at her with admiration and whispered, "Peipei, you're amazing. Next time, I'll give you another ginseng."

Peipei tossed her head, indicating that these were minor incidents; she had seen plenty of difficult people.

He Dajiao and He Xiaotou are just two clowns, with no fighting ability whatsoever.

She pulled Bai Lu aside and said, "Sister Lu, you don't need to be nice to them, and don't be afraid of offending people. My mother said that if you endure it for a while and take a step back, you'll get sick."

She didn't understand anything about breast hyperplasia; she only knew that it was a disease that couldn't be cured, which was terrible.

Bai Lu nodded and said, "I... I'm not afraid of offending people, I'm afraid of making things difficult for Aunt Li."

Peipei said, "What's the problem? My mother has already offended a lot of people, so it won't make a difference if she offends two more."

As they spoke, the two girls covered their mouths and giggled.

He Xiaotou saw the two pretty girls in front of him and didn't know which one to choose.

He whispered, "Dad, I think Peipei is pretty good too."

In his memory, Peipei had always been a dark-skinned, thin girl; he didn't like people who were thin and frail.

But now, Peipei stood before him, not only much fairer but also much plumper, with a slender and graceful figure.

It has meat in all the places that should be there, but none in the places that shouldn't be there.

He Dajiao said in a low voice, "Our family can only afford to marry one."

He Xiaotou felt somewhat helpless and secretly resolved that he must make a lot of money in the future and at least marry two wives.

Peipei rolled her eyes at the two of them and said to Bailu, "Sister Lu, let's go inside. Don't waste your breath on these toads."

Seeing the two about to leave, He Xiaotou became anxious: "Don't go! You don't have to be anyone, you can marry me."

Bai Lu sneered, "Oh dear, did you eat garlic?"

He Xiaotou shook his head, "No, I haven't eaten yet."

Bai Lu: "You have such a big breath, it's suffocating me."

He Xiaotou's face stiffened. What did she mean? Was she looking down on him?
She's a worthless piece of trash, why should she look down on him?

He gritted his teeth and said, "Since you look down on me so much, give me back the bride price and I'll marry someone else."

Bai Lu was completely bewildered: "What? What did you say? What dowry? Who are you?"

Peipei: "Are you out of your mind? When did you give any betrothal gifts?"

He Xiaotou retorted, his neck stiff, "Even though I didn't give it to you, you have to return it!"

Bai Lu was so angry she wanted to kill someone; what a weirdo!

Is this something a normal person would say?
"Brother, did you get your head squeezed in a door? Otherwise, why would you start spouting nonsense right away?"

He Xiaotou persisted, "Give me my money back, or I'll take this to the authorities."

“Go ahead, I’m not afraid of you,” Bai Lu said.

She wasn't afraid at all; taking this sick person to the yamen and beating him up would be a good way to cure his madness.

He Dajiao chimed in, "Yes, my son is right, you have to pay back the money."

He deliberately shouted loudly, attracting several men who were busy in the distance to come over and watch.

He knew that a young woman's reputation was the most important thing to her, and if Bai Lu's reputation was ruined, she would have no choice but to marry his son.

Bai Lu sneered, "Fine, I'll return your dowry of one tael to you."

As he spoke, he took out a tael of silver from his sleeve and threw it on the ground.

He Dajiao was surprised that she would actually give him money, and happily picked it up and put it in his pocket. Sure enough, girls care a lot about their pride, and after he made a few fuss, Bai Lu backed down.

Bai Lu said with a forced smile, "I've returned the one tael of silver you gave me as a bride price. Now, let's talk about my dowry."

My family gave me 18 shops, 28 restaurants, 38 estates, 48 mu of fertile land, and 58 taels of silver as dowry. Now, please return it all to me!

Upon hearing this, He Dajiao and He Xiaotou were both stunned. Peipei's lips curled into a wide smile. Sister Lu really does have some skills.

She thought she was the one being bullied, but she never expected her to quietly turn the tables.

He Dajiao: "Are you talking nonsense? When did your family ever provide those things as a dowry?"

He Xiaotou: "Yeah, where's the thing? I can't see it."

Bai Lu: "I don't care, even though my family didn't give it to me, you still have to return it!"

He Dajiao and He Xiaotou's faces turned pale and then green with anger. Peipei simply reached out and said, "Give it to me."

He Dajiao took a step back and said, "What?"

Wang Tiezhu couldn't stand it anymore, so he directly took the one or two taels of silver from his body and handed it to Peipei.

Peipei smiled and shook her head, "Brother Tiezhu, you keep this."

Wang Tiezhu refused: "My family has money."

His family made a lot of money with Aunt Li, and because of the money, his and his brother's marriage went from being looked down upon and criticized by others to having many girls eager to marry into his family.

Now he can openly choose other people. His mother said there's no need to rush into marriage; he must find someone he likes.

Wang Tiezhu is living a very comfortable life now, so he naturally doesn't care about this little bit of money.

Seeing that he didn't want it, Peipei returned the silver to Bailu.

Bai Lu was very unhappy with He Dajiao and He Xiaotou. She kindly brought them food and drinks, but they repaid kindness with enmity, dragging her to get married for no reason, and even saying that she owed them one tael of silver.

Too bully.

Seeing that He Dajiao and He Xiaotou were still holding the two buns she had given them earlier, Bai Lu stepped forward and snatched all four buns away.

He then casually handed it to Wang Tiezhu, saying, "Brother, you should eat this. It's too wasteful to give it to them."

Toads don't deserve to eat meat buns.

This time, He Dajiao and He Xiaotou didn't dare to jump up and down. With Wang Tieniu and Wang Tiezhu backing up Bai Lu, they didn't dare to act recklessly.

Wang Tieniu took a bite of the meat bun, then looked at He Xiaotou with disdain: "Hey He, you're really despicable."

Someone kindly offered you some food, and you turned around and blamed them; it's utterly shameless.

"Water that is too clear has no fish, and a person who is shameless is invincible. That's exactly what I'm talking about with you two," Peipei added.

Wang Tieniu kicked He Xiaotou: "Get to work, what are you doing sneaking around and trying to slip by?"

He Xiaotou was kicked down into the mud. He struggled a few times to get up and glared at Wang Tieniu with hatred.

After watching for a long time, he didn't dare to utter a single word.

He knew he couldn't beat them.

Wang Tieniu was tall and strong, shaped like an ox, while I had a small head and a thin body; I wasn't cut out for a fight.

The men standing nearby laughed and didn't take it seriously at all.

He Dajiao only felt sorry for her son, but she couldn't help him at all.

He stared fiercely at the closed gate of Li Ruru's house, then looked up at the mountain.

She cursed in her heart, wishing for a flood to soon hit the mountain and drown Li Ruru's family.

After two days of repairs, the village canal was finally completed, and the sky cleared up.

Early that morning, someone banged on Li Ruru's front door.

An uninvited guest arrived in Chenjia Village.
