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

Chapter 18 Third Brother's Wife, Haven't You Made Enough of This?
They acted like deadbeats, and the rest of the Chen family echoed their behavior.

Chen Dagang: "I don't have any money either."

Wang Shuixia: "I'm so poor I can't even afford to eat."

Chen Bingxiao: "It has nothing to do with me."

Zhao: "Ouch, ouch, my back is so itchy, can someone scratch it for me?"

As usual, Feng Yuzhu and Chen Ertong kept quiet, ignoring the fact that it was none of their business.

Li Ruru suddenly looked at Chen Sanbao, her eyes shining brighter than ever before, "You have money, you pay it back."

Chen Sanbao, with his neck stiff, said, "I didn't."

Li Ruru: "You're rich! You dug up ginseng and sold it for 100 taels!"

Upon hearing the mention of 100 taels of silver, Chen Sanbao immediately became agitated, "That's my money, not your dowry."

This crazy woman insists it's all part of her dowry, but he dug up the ginseng himself; it has nothing to do with her.

Li Ruru shouldn't even think about extorting a single penny from him.

Upon hearing that Li Ruru was eyeing her son's 100 taels of silver, Zhao ignored her itching and rushed over.

"Li, you heartless bastard, you stole my bed and my clothes, and now you want to extort money from me."

"You sonless wretch! Our Chen family has had the worst luck in eight lifetimes to marry such a money-losing piece of trash like you!"

Li Ruru retorted, "What do you mean by 'money-losing goods'?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao thought, "Oh my, this good-for-nothing is asking me what a good-for-nothing is? It's absolutely ridiculous."

"A woman who can't give birth to a son is a money-loser, and a woman who can't give birth to a daughter is a money-loser."

Li Ruru immediately smiled. Without her saying anything, Granny Zhao obediently fell into her trap.

Li Ruru suddenly shouted to the crowd of onlookers, "Did you all hear that? This old woman is saying that we women are all a money-losing burden."

I told you she had something wrong with her head; when she gets really ruthless, she even curses herself.

I even doubt she can distinguish her own gender; the way she's talking makes it sound like she's a man.

Li Ruru directly changed the concept with a single sentence, turning the girl into a woman, successfully arousing public outrage.

"Old Zhao, have you eaten shit? Why are you talking so rudely?"

"Are you out of your mind? We didn't do anything to you. Why are you using veiled insults and insults?"

Zhao didn't understand. Didn't everyone say that daughters were a money-losing commodity?

Why did everyone get angry after she said just one sentence?
No matter what, she would rather be drowned in spittle than give Li Ruru a single penny.

“Mr. Li, you want my son’s money, only if I’m dead.”

She lay on the ground pretending to be dead, but her body was unbearably itchy, so she had to twist and turn, rubbing herself against the ground.

Chen Bingxiao seized the opportunity to say, "The tuition for the Golden List wasn't paid by the Third Daughter-in-Law alone."

Lu Da nodded, "That's why I only calculated three years. How about I calculate it properly for you?"

Chen Jinbang started studying at the age of five, and now he is 16 years old.

Upon closer examination, Li Ruru's contribution was far more than 36 taels.

Wang Shuixia and Chen Dagang tacitly chose to remain silent at this moment.

Anyway, the 100 taels were earned by the third brother, and the money is with Mother. Mother is the best at hiding things, so Li Ruru is destined not to take a single penny away today.

Chen Sanbao thought the same thing and yelled at Li Ruru, "Take your things and get out of here."

She still had 150 taels of silver, but she needed a legitimate way to pay for it.

What could be more convenient and quicker than getting Chen Sanbao's 36 taels of silver?

Although she doesn't value money much, she won't let go of this opportunity to make the Chen family suffer a huge financial loss.

After all, she was happy when the Chen family was unhappy.

“Chen Sanbao, I found that ginseng first. I told you its location before you dug it up,” Li Ruru said. Chen Sanbao frowned deeply. “That’s not true.”

How could this woman spout such nonsense? She's so shameless.

Li Ruru was indeed talking nonsense, and Chen Sanbao had no way of proving whether her words were true or false.

She insisted that Chen Jinbang return the tuition fee, but the Chen family refused. So she took another approach and asked Chen Sanbao to give her 100 taels of silver.

Anyway, it's all money, so it doesn't matter who I ask for it from.

Chen Bingxiao took a deep drag on his pipe. "Third brother's wife, haven't you made enough of a scene? Don't you know who would believe what you're saying?"

Everyone looked at Old Man Chen, who had shifty eyes, and then at Li Ruru, who was blinking her big eyes with an innocent and aggrieved expression.

It goes without saying who to believe and who not to believe.

Pan Dayan took the lead in swaying public opinion towards Li Ruru, saying, "I believe that my sister wouldn't talk nonsense; she has always been kind and honest."

There was nothing they could do; that was the impression the original owner left on everyone in the village.

Pan Dayan didn't need to say much; everyone naturally ostracized the Chen family.

"I have to say, you guys are really going too far. You've driven them to divorce, what more do you want?"

"You just seized someone else's dowry, and now you want to keep that 100 taels of silver for yourself. Your whole family is utterly wicked."

Li Ruru was satisfied with the direction of public opinion. She smiled and said to the village head, "Uncle Da, if they are unwilling to repay the money, can you give me some of their land?"

A divorced woman has no right to claim land from her husband's family, but if it's used to pay off debts, then there's nothing wrong with it.

After a moment's thought, Lü Da agreed, "Okay, which piece of land do you want?"

Chenjia Village doesn't have much farmland; each person has about one mu (approximately 0.16 acres).

Farmland is the lifeblood of farmers; they rely entirely on the grain they grow there to make a living.

Zhao immediately sprang to her feet, shouting, "No way! You can't give me any of your land!"

Li Ruru spread her hands, "It's fine if we don't divide the land, just give me 36 taels."

Zhao's eyes darted around, "That 100 taels was long gone. I had some gold jewelry made for myself."

How could Li Ruru not understand her little scheme? "Really?"

After saying that, she turned and ran into Zhao's room. There was a box under Zhao's bed containing valuables from the house, and the 100 taels of silver must have been in there too.

When Zhao saw Li Ruru enter the house, she was not flustered at all.

She locked all her things, and she had the key; no one could open the lock.

Li Ruru took out a lock-picking tool from her spatial storage, fumbled around for a few moments, and opened the lock.

She didn't take much, just 36 taels of silver, and came out. "Old Zhao, what a terrible memory you have! Isn't this clearly money?"

She spread her hands to show everyone the silver, and said to Chen Jinbang, "Now we're even!"

At this moment, the Chen family was heartbroken. 36 taels of silver were gone just like that, and it was all given away to that slut Li Ruru!
Chen Jinbang wanted to disappear into the ground. Chen Sanbao and Zhao were shocked. How did Li Ruru open that lock?
Chen Bingxiao let out a wail and ran into the house, quickly hiding the remaining money again.

The second son's family remained silent, like outsiders.

Wang Shuixia and Chen Dagang had already implicitly accepted that the 100 taels belonged to them.

As the eldest son of the Chen family, they had three sons, one of whom was a scholar.

Based on these conditions alone, everything the Chen family owns should naturally go to their eldest son's branch.

Wang Shuixia disregarded everything and rushed forward, ready to fight Li Ruru to the death.

Li Ruru turned around and grabbed her hair first.

She quickly pulled a silver hairpin from her hair. "Oh, sister-in-law, you've come to return this hairpin to me, haven't you? My mother gave it to me; I almost forgot about it."

Wang Shuixia: "..."? ? ? ! ! !
