Carrying the little lucky star, leading the villain on the road to exile

Chapter 530, Section 531: Harsh Words
It's the same old trick again. These people want to sue the authorities at the drop of a hat, just because they are parents or elders?
Zhuang Datou wasn't intimidated at all and said very straightforwardly, "Then it's up to you."

Anyway, I'll never take the imperial examinations in my life. At most, I'll get a scolding from the magistrate and a beating. If that's what you want, then so be it."

"Aren't you afraid?" Zhuang Tian asked through gritted teeth.

“What’s there to be afraid of? If I continue to get involved with your whole family, my life will end sooner or later, and this family will fall apart sooner or later. So I might as well end it quickly.”

Faced with Zhuang Datou's stubbornness, the Zhuang family couldn't think of any other way.

They also heard the commotion next door. They had thought about going out and making a scene, but then they remembered Zhuang Datou's personality and realized that it would only make their family's reputation worse.

“Okay, I agree. Give me fifty-five taels right now.” Zhuang Tian held out his palm.

The villagers behind him wanted to say something, but in the end they could only listen with their heads down.

Zhuang Datou chuckled and said, "That's not how it's done. We'll have to find a few respected people to write down the family division documents and all these conditions on them. Otherwise, if I just give you the money without any proof, what if you go back on your word?"

Zhuang Tian wanted to say that he wasn't that kind of person, but seeing Zhuang Datou's all-knowing eyes, he finally sighed, and his spirits were greatly dampened.

Seeing that they had given in, Zhuang Datou released his grip. "If you want to go out and watch the show, you can. While you're at it, see if the Huang family can get more from Huang Pingguo."

The Zhuang family members all looked at Zhuang Datou with puzzled expressions, not understanding what he was up to.

Only Zhuang Tian noticed something. His son, whom he hadn't seen for so many years, had grown up and become successful. It was just a pity that he had become estranged from his family.

The family opened the door and came out, but instead of making a fuss like before, they quietly followed behind Zhuang Datou and stood there watching the commotion.

Meanwhile, Lü Cuihua was still making a scene, accusing Huang Pingguo of all sorts of faults. Huang Pingguo let her do as she pleased, and even when Huang Cuihua got angry and slapped him a few times, he just endured it.

The Zhuang family members couldn't help but look at Zhuang Datou, wondering if they had been too lenient with him.
Zhuang Datou also felt the gaze behind him, and a mocking smile curled up at the corner of his mouth. He was no ordinary man, Huang Pingguo.

Lin Wei, who was not far away, also saw them and nodded slightly when he saw Zhuang Datou's gaze sweep over.

Zhuang Datou was stunned for a moment, then he understood why Lin Wei was here, and his resolve to make his previous decision became even stronger.

He and Huang Pingguo had been exiled along the way, but they hadn't played much of a role. Given their status, serving their master was simply their duty, and there was no gratitude involved whatsoever.

On the contrary, they were given important positions because of Dongmei and the others. It was very clear who was more important to the master and mistress. How come he didn't understand this before?
As he spoke, he lowered his head and curled his lips in a mocking smile. Deep down, he was probably a selfish person too.

He knew perfectly well that everything in the family was brought by Dongmei, but for the sake of his ridiculous pride, he made Dongmei suffer so much during this time.

Now that he's calmed down, he realizes that he can't live without Dongmei...

Huang Pingguo has really had enough. Now that the village chief has come to mediate, these people are still making a fuss.

Lin Wei and Aunt Li, who were in the crowd, were also watching this side. Their presence represented the attitude of the master and mistress. Zhu Ziqiang said to Huang Pingguo earnestly, "Manager Huang, hesitation will only lead to trouble. Sometimes, it's better to be decisive."

After listening for so long, he knew that this was a family conflict, and everything could only be resolved by Huang Pingguo.

It's just that these two families brought a very bad influence to the village; otherwise, he really wouldn't have wanted to take the lead.

Just now, he realized that Gu Kaiyuan and his wife had returned to provide support for the two girls. If they didn't choose Huang Pingguo well, their future would probably be ruined.

I don't know what these two families were thinking. Their child has such a bright future, yet they keep dragging him down. No wonder they'll be poor their whole lives.

If my son were to have such good fortune, he would have to offer more tributes to our ancestors, and perhaps he might even have the chance to change his family's fortune.

Zhu Ziqiang quickly pulled his wandering thoughts back. This was just a thought. It was a pity that, apart from Zhuang Datou and the others, all of Gu Kaiyuan's confidants had indentures in their hands. He was unwilling to let his own child sell himself into slavery.

Zhuang Da Tou and Huang Ping Guo are really ungrateful. They should be secretly happy to have such a good job opportunity, but instead they've made so many jokes.

Huang Pingguo finally made up her mind, "No matter what you say, you have to move out within three days. If you don't leave, don't blame me for disregarding family ties..."

“You heartless bastard, you’re going to kick us out!” Lu Cui’s sobs stopped. “We can leave, but you have to buy us a house and land, otherwise we won’t go anywhere.”

Zhuang Datou turned to look at Zhuang Tian. Listen to that recipe—it sounds so familiar. The two families must have discussed it beforehand.

This is probably their ultimate goal. No wonder they sold their houses and land and moved their whole families here. They've got them cornered.

Huang Pingguo sneered, "I don't have such a large fortune. If it really doesn't work out, you can take the money back and buy the land back. I'll cover your travel expenses."

"Are you telling this whole family to die?" Huang Qinlao stopped pretending at this point. "Anyway, there's no room for discussion. We have to do it your mother says."

Yellow Apple: "Whatever, I don't have a single copper coin on me. All I have are these few rooms. If you don't want to leave, then stay here. I'll leave, okay?"

The Huang family panicked. What use was the house to them? They couldn't eat or drink it.

What they want is a house of their own, land of their own, and preferably a good job.

But Huang Pingguo didn't agree to any of these requests, and judging from her tone, she wouldn't take care of their food and drink anymore.

"Then how are we supposed to live our lives?"

These questions came from Huang Ping'an's mouth. Looking at her younger brother, who had always been the pampered one in the family, Huang Pingguo became even more determined. "You sold the house and the land, so you must have plenty of money. Do you think you'd starve to death?"

"You are being extremely unfilial..." Lu Cuihua started to wail again, but Huang Pingguo ignored them and went into the room to pack a package, then carried it out.

"Where are you going?" The Huang family panicked and reached out to grab him.
