Courtyard House: Drunk and tipsy, the whole courtyard exposed at the start.

"Well, you're using my dad's money to support your whole family. Even if you want to renege on the debt, you can just return the five silver dollars and we'll call it even."

"My dad and I haven't brought this up all these years because we don't want to push things too far. After all, Qin Huairu and Jia Dongxu are already married and have two children. But what about you?"

"Your daughter and the Jia family are always scheming against our Zhang family. This time they've set their sights on our house and our workplace. And you, as her father, even came to the city to seek justice for her, Qin Huairu—you're just trying to extort money from me."

"You knew I didn't know these things, didn't you?"

"You didn't expect my brain to have recovered, did you? You didn't expect my dad still had our marriage certificate from back then, did you?"

"You city folks bullying you country bumpkins? It's clearly you who's shameless and repays kindness with enmity! Bad people don't discriminate between city and country!"

Zhang Dabiao walked up to the two of them and patted his face in a mock manner—

"Where's your face? Where's your face?"

"How despicable!"

"Pah!"

This is like killing someone by breaking their spirit!

The matter was laid bare before everyone, and no one could refute it.

Yes, the Zhang family suffered a loss, but they didn't mention it, which can be considered as helping Qin Huairu and Jia Dongxu get together.

Isn't that generous enough?

The results of it?

Good deeds go unrewarded!

The Qin and Jia families are all rotten to the core!

—Snap—

Suddenly, Qin Dashan moved, turned around and slapped Qin Huairu hard across the face. The sound was extremely loud!

Qin Huairu was almost knocked to the ground!

"dad?!"

"Waaaaah—"

"The Qin brothers..."

"Qin Dashan!"

Everyone was shocked. If you're going to hit someone, hit Zhang Dabiao! Why are you hitting Qin Huairu?

"It's all your fault!"

"You're so vain! You can't stand seeing others do well! You start spouting nonsense the moment you go back to your parents' house! You even egged me on to come to the city to get revenge for you!"

"Now you've ruined our family's reputation, are you satisfied?"

With just a few words, Qin Dashan shifted all the blame onto Qin Huairu.

Zhang Dabiao scoffed at this kind of "good cop, bad cop" act.

But Qin Dashan immediately turned around and asked Zhang Dabiao obsequiously, "Nephew Dabiao, actually I have a pretty good relationship with your father, Zhang Banxian. I've even treated him to a meal!"

"Look, Qin Huairu did all this on her own. She's just doing this because she loves her daughter so much. What else can you do these days?"

"Considering my connection with your father, could you perhaps give me that... that marriage certificate?"

Everyone immediately understood what he meant.

When he's trying to extort money, he calls himself "young man," and when he's asking for help, he calls himself "nephew." His face changes faster than a Sichuan opera face-changing act!

It would be better if this thing wasn't brought out. Once it is, it will be evidence of the heartless and treacherous nature of Qin Dashan's family in Qinjiatun!

Qin Dashan would be ashamed in the village, and the entire Qin Family Village would be ridiculed by the surrounding villages. His reputation would be ruined.

Who would dare to marry a girl from Qinjiatun in the future?

Moreover, this is also evidence that Qin Huairu married three times... or at least twice!

There's a saying that a good woman doesn't marry twice, but if you know there's a marriage certificate, even if you don't want to marry, you should still cancel the engagement first, right?

She got married without saying a word. What kind of nonsense is this?

With this thing around, no matter how the Qin and Jia families try to explain, they can't make it clear!

So this thing can't be kept!

"No!"

Zhang Dabiao sat back down in his chair and even crossed his legs. Not only that, the two girls behind him were eating nuts with great gusto, and none of the other young people left. They all sat down to watch the show, which was getting more and more interesting!

Xu Damao, Liu Guangqi, Yan Jiecheng, Liu Gen, Da Tou Hu Zi, and others watched with great interest!

This is even more exciting than watching a movie!

Liu Guangtian was even more considerate and helped Zhang Dabiao add a cup of hot water!

The young people in the courtyard have gradually gotten used to surrounding Zhang Dabiao, and they are not suppressed by their elders in any way—because Zhang Dabiao has never suffered a loss.

Moreover, there's plenty of food and drink, it's extremely relaxing, and you can even watch a grand performance!

You can even get a filter tip every now and then, why not?

Qin Dashan's face flushed red and then paled, and finally he stammered, "How about I give you 10 yuan to exchange for that marriage certificate? You don't really need it, do you?"

"Nephew Da Biao, one should be forgiving when possible. Look, Huai Ru is already married and has children. She can't possibly divorce and then marry you, can she?"

"Don't worry about that, even if she divorces me, I wouldn't dare to take her back."

Silly Zhu—【Don't give it to me!】

At this moment, Yan Bugui suddenly interjected, "Qin Dashan, before the founding of the People's Republic of China, how much could you buy with 5 silver dollars? One silver dollar could buy a hot pot meal with mutton, or 25 jin of rice, or 5 jin of pork belly! Now, how much can you buy with 10 silver dollars?"

"Aren't you just setting me up?"

"Da Biao, five silver dollars, in terms of purchasing power, are now worth at least 25 jin (5 catties) of pork belly!"

"The price of pigeon meat at the market is now 5.2 yuan per jin!"

"25 jin of pork belly would cost at least 130 yuan! You should consider that yourself."

This wasn't because Yan Bugui meant well, but rather because he was overly sensitive to money and it was an instinctive reaction.

But he immediately realized something was wrong. Why was I speaking up for Zhang Dabiao?

There's no benefit to it?

Suddenly, he felt several sinister gazes fixed on him—Yi Zhonghai, Sha Zhu, Qin Huairu, Qin Dashan…

"Sorry, it's an occupational hazard, I won't say anymore, I won't say anymore."

Yan Bugui quickly shrank back; he just couldn't control his mouth!

When Qin Dashan heard the number 130, he almost knelt down on the spot.

"Nephew Da Biao, we country folk can only save up ten yuan a year's worth of work points. These ten yuan are truly our family's last savings..."

"Not for sale!" Zhang Dabiao continued smoking and shaking his leg, extremely arrogant.

With tears streaming down her face, Qin Huairu looked at Sha Zhu, for at this moment only he could afford the money: "Sha Zhu..."

Sha Zhu immediately stepped forward: "It's just 130, right? I'll pay!"

He Yushui was on the verge of collapse. He lent Qin Huairu 100 the day before yesterday, lent Yi Zhonghai 2000 yesterday, and today he has to pay 130... His silly Zhu is generous, but how is he going to live?

"Brother, what's this any of your business?!"

Sha Zhu said indignantly, "Didn't you see how Zhang Dabiao drove Sister Qin to this state?"

"Zhang Dabiao, if you're a man, give me a straight answer! You've got a steal—130 for a worthless piece of paper! You've hit the jackpot!"

Zhang Dabiao: "No way! Forget 130, even 1300 or 13,000, I wouldn't sell!"

"I don't want a single penny. Consider those five silver dollars as dog food; the Zhang family has given them up!"

"What...what do you want?" Qin Huairu suddenly had a bad feeling. He didn't want me...

"I will never divorce my wife and marry you!" Qin Huairu suddenly screamed.

Zhang Dabiao was speechless. How pure and innocent do you think you are, or do you think I'm so desperate for sex?

"Don't be like that. I, Zhang Dabiao, swear to the teacher here that I never intended to marry Qin Huairu. Whether you get a divorce or not has nothing to do with me."

Having no other choice, Zhang Dabiao resorted to his old trick, raising three fingers to swear an oath to the instructor, which the man had to believe.

"Then why won't you give me the marriage certificate?" Qin Dashan was a little confused.

"Yes, Da Biao, this marriage certificate has no legal effect. Our country opposes buying and selling or arranging marriages. Besides, Qin Huairu and Jia Dongxu have a marriage certificate and they already have a child."

"What's the point of keeping this?" Director Wang was also very puzzled. If you're not going to take this opportunity to get back the bride price, then what are you keeping it for?

You're a child, your family is without an adult, and you can't go to work as a substitute. That's exactly when you need money.

"Hehehehe—"

Zhang Dabiao, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, suddenly let out a sinister laugh, looking somewhat neurotic.

Then, as he spoke, he used hand gestures, vividly describing the scene with exaggerated movements.

"I can frame it and hang it on the wall at home. This is a record of the Qin family's ingratitude."

Holy crap? That's ruthless!

"Or we could take more photos, print them out, and distribute them to Qinjiatun and the surrounding villages, so that they know what kind of people the Qin family are, and give them a heads-up."

Holy crap? That's toxic!

"We can also distribute some to the steel rolling mill, so that Jia Dongxu's coworkers know what kind of wife he married."

[Holy crap? Now I finally understand why you called him Jia Donglu on the first day of the new year!]

"We can also wait until Banggeng Xiaodang grows up and gets married, and send a gift to his future in-laws so they know what kind of family they are."

[Holy crap? You're determined to fight the Jia family to the death!]

"Isn't this very cautionary and educational?"

Zhang Dabiao was laughing hysterically, but everyone got goosebumps.

Holy crap?!

This has forever branded Qinjiatun, the Qin family, Qin Huairu, and the Jia family with shame!

They'll never be able to turn things around!

Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap, this kind of revenge is too cruel!

Qin Huairu's face turned pale, and she was sweating profusely. Then she rolled her eyes.

She was so scared she fainted!

We're doomed!
