Before the house was raided, the maidservant of the Prime Minister's residence absconded with t

Liu Laogen looked at his hand, which was sore from being hit, and then at his daughter, who was looking at him with a wronged expression. He was stunned.

He had always pampered his youngest daughter, rarely letting her do any housework, and she had almost never done any farm work.

Although she didn't pamper her daughter as much as Madam Wang, she still loved her very much.

The couple had only one daughter, and they both had sons, so naturally they doted on her.

He was really furious just now; his beloved daughter actually called him a coward.

Thinking of this, Liu Laogen's earlier regret and heartache immediately vanished.

He said coldly, "So what if I hit you?"

I'm your dad!

You have no respect for your elders and are disrespectful to your elders. Shouldn't I teach you a lesson?

Wang realized what was happening, pulled Liu Jiaojiao up, and then sat her on the edge of the bed, gently comforting her, "Jiaojiao, don't cry. Your father didn't mean it. He was just angry."

You shouldn't have talked to your father like that just now. Don't do it again!

She knew why her husband was so angry, and she also felt that her daughter had gone too far this time.

Liu Laogen is very concerned about his image, and he usually dotes on Jiaojiao. Now that Jiaojiao has called him a coward, how could he not be angry?

"Mother, I didn't say anything wrong. It's Father who doesn't care about us and watches us get bullied by that wretched girl."

You and I almost lost our lives today!

He doesn't care about me at all anymore.

Waaaaah…

Liu Jiaojiao was spoiled and felt extremely wronged. She couldn't listen to her mother's words at all.

After hearing her daughter's words, Wang also felt that her husband was somewhat spineless.

So he looked up at Liu Laogen and said, "Honey, what Jiaojiao said may not be pleasant to hear, but it's not entirely unreasonable."

My daughter and I were bullied so badly today, and you, instead of standing up for us, agreed to that brat's demands.

"Has that brat put a curse on you?"

"Wang Cuihua, stop talking nonsense! I think you're the one who's been cursed!"

If I don't agree to her request, your dear daughter will really be half dead.

"The views of a woman with long hair and short mind are utterly foolish!"

Only then did Liu Laogen realize what kind of wife he had married.

"Husband, how can you blame me for this?"

I was just trying to vent my anger for Pangbao today, but who knew Pangbao would say such things?

If I had known it would turn out this way, I definitely wouldn't have said it.

And that brat is like a mad dog, look what she's done to our daughter.

No matter what, Jiaojiao is still her aunt!

Wang felt that there was some truth to what the old man said, but she still stubbornly refused to admit it.

However, she felt that the real culprit was still that wretched girl, Tao'er, a jinx!

"Hmph! You still have the nerve to bring up the fact that Jiaojiao was bullied."

This is all your fault. You didn't teach Jiaojiao well. She's stupid and wicked, and she's always eager to be bullied.

And you idiot, why did you let a child hear those things?

"Husband, how can you be like this?"

When I suggested selling that wretched girl Tao'er to an old widower in the mountains to raise money for Lao Si's education and the imperial examinations, didn't you agree?

Fatty was there too, and you didn't stop me from saying it, did you?

Now you're blaming me alone?

Wang got angry after hearing what Liu Laogen said.

They were all there at the time, so why should she be blamed alone when something went wrong?

"snort!

If you hadn't insisted on standing up for Pang Bao today, this whole thing wouldn't have happened.

It's just kids fighting, no one's going to die, why are you making such a big deal out of it and being so relentless?

Don't you even think about it? You sold Peach Girl once when she was little, and now you want to sell her again? No wonder that girl goes crazy!

Thinking about how he had lost face in front of his fellow villagers today, Liu Laogen became even angrier.

Originally, he held a position in Xinghua Village that was roughly equivalent to that of the village head and clan chief, and was respected and admired by the villagers.

Because his son was the only scholar in the village, the villagers looked at him with envy.

Now, his image in the village has plummeted.

Everyone knows they abused their eldest son and daughter-in-law, and even sold their granddaughter. Now, they've sold her once and they want to sell her a second time.

Behind his back, everyone is saying he's vicious and selfish, and doesn't deserve to be called a human being!

If these things get back to Lao Si's classmates and friends, it might even affect his future.

"snort!

That damned Liu Tao'er, it's best if she goes crazy!

Father, please stop scolding Mother. She didn't mean it.

"Father, I think that Liu Tao'er is a jinx."

Liu Jiaojiao stopped crying, not wanting to see her mother get scolded again.

"Fifth brother, shut up! You can't say things like that again."

Tao Yatou is your niece, and you are her elder. An elder should act like an elder.

And for the next few days, you and your daughter should stay put and not provoke that girl again.

Anyway, they're moving out in three days.

Once they move away, things will probably go back to normal.

Over time, the villagers' admiration for him returned.

"Father, I'm not talking nonsense. Where am I talking nonsense?"

Think about it, before she came back, our whole family was doing well.

In the past, my mother often punished my eldest brother and sister-in-law.

Why was there nothing wrong before, but now there's something wrong?

I suspect that Liu Tao'er, that bitch, is behind all of this!

Liu Jiaojiao suddenly seemed to have an epiphany and voiced her doubts.

Wang's eyes darted around, and she chimed in, "My lord, Jiaojiao is right!"

I used to punish my eldest son and his wife like this, and they still did their work the next day. Why is it so serious this time?

We can't even get any work done?

"And I need to take expensive medicine; one prescription costs two hundred coins!"

The thought of those two hundred coins made her heart ache terribly.

Upon hearing this, Liu Laogen couldn't help but begin to have doubts.

In the past, his wife had tormented the eldest son and his wife quite a bit, especially the eldest son's wife.

At that time, let alone seeing a doctor or getting medicine, they didn't even get a break. They had to keep working. The eldest son and his wife didn't dare utter a sound.

There's no reason why this should be so serious that I can't even do my job!

He coughed twice. "What Jiaojiao said makes sense. In that case, let the second son's wife go to the main house to take a look later."

The second son's wife is also simple and honest; she probably wouldn't lie if she went to see her.

Moreover, the second son and his wife did not offend the eldest son, so they should not be unable to even enter the door.

Anyone else would probably be barred from even entering the door; their presence would only arouse that brat's suspicion.

This granddaughter is much smarter than all his sons, grandsons, and granddaughters.

It's a pity that this little girl isn't on their side anymore, otherwise she could have helped the fourth brother.

"The head of the household is indeed very thoughtful."

If my mother finds out that my eldest son and his wife were faking it, I won't let them get away with it.

You have to return those two hundred coins to me.

Hearing her husband say this, Wang felt a little happier.

"Mom, I want that money back. I need to buy myself a new dress!"

Liu Jiaojiao started to act coquettishly, and she no longer felt the pain on her face.

"Alright, Mother promises you, consider it compensation for the suffering our Jiaojiao has endured."

Wang agreed with a big smile.

"Thank you, Mother. You're the best to me!"

"I'm going out for a bit. You and your daughter better behave yourselves and don't go causing trouble!"

Liu Laogen stood up and walked outside.
