Chapter 282 No choice.
Fang Xiumei's expression changed she was furious but there was nothing she could say against Yu Dong. As her complexion darkened she glared at Yu Dong maliciously, her gaze cold and nefarious. But Yu Dong wasn't scared she stared back at Fang Xiumei and returned her glare with her own. They actually dared to bully her husband and yet had the audacity to make underhanded threats to her husband in front of her? Who did they think were? Was her, Yu Dong's husband someone just any Tom. Dick and Harry can bully?
Seeing that Yu Dong wasn't backing down, Fang Xiumei's face turned livid, she was the elder here! Even if her son did something wrong, as Yu Dong's elder she at least had the authority to ask her niece in law to forgive her son right? How can this woman behave like this? She just had some filthy money, and yet she was this arrogant! What Fang Xiumei forgot is that when she heard from her son that Yu Dong was rich she was more than supportive of her son stealing this same arrogant woman who only had some filthy money.
Yu Dong didn't have much time to waste when she saw that Fang Xiumei wasn't listening to what she asked her to do and was acting all stubborn, Yu Dong sneered and turned to Grandma Fang. " Grandma, why don't we just send someone and call back the yamen officers? I don't think they would have gone that far——"
" No! Don't!"Fang Nan never thought that this matter would escalate to this point, he has never been humiliated like this before. He was so embarrassed under the judgemental glares of the villagers that all he wanted was to crawl in a hole and die. He thought his plan was perfect after all Yu Dong only met Fang Chi a couple of times before the two of them get married, as long as he was careful, he wouldn't be caught and later on even if Yu Dong hated him, he would have successfully become her husband. As long as he threatened her with his life, he would be able to keep living as her husband and she would have to protect him as well but who would have thought that he would be caught even before crossing the threshold? And now he was in such a condition where he was being forced to go to the Yamen, if he went to Yamen wouldn't his reputation suffer even more? At least at the moment, only the villagers knew about it, if he went to the Yamen', then wouldn't everyone come to know about it?
So, Fang Nan was very clear, no matter he couldn't be taken away by the Yamen officers!
" Mother! Save me, Nan Nan doesn't want to go to the Yamen!" Fang Nan was born with a frail beauty as long as he cried, he could make anyone's heart melt. Even Fang Xiumei wasn't an exception, except Fang Nan, she only had one daughter who stayed in the capital and did a menial job at a big shop. This daughter of hers hardly returned home and wasn't close to anyone, not even her daddy. Only Fang Nan this son of her's was close to her, even though she thought that it was a pity to take out her brother in law's dowry and give it to Fang Chi, it wasn't as important as her son.
In the end, even if her heart was bleeding like someone was scratching their claws on it, Fang Xiumei still clenched her teeth and returned home to bring whatever was left of Fang Chi's daddy's dowry.
Zhang Tingyi wasn't willing but no matter how much he tried to stop his wife, the latter didn't listen to him, at this moment, he was finding Fang Nan an eyesore contrary to his wife who was willing to give up the dowry for the sake of her son. However, no matter how upset he was, he wasn't going to say anything that will contradict his wife, in the end, he pursed his lips and silently stood in the Fang family courtyard.
Fang Xiumei's house wasn't far from the Fang family and she soon returned with all the items that were locked in the storage. Of course, the dowry that she brought was nowhere as good as it was back then when Fang Chi's daddy married Mother Fang, it has lost its lustre and many of the things were missing. Grandma Fang who saw the measly pile was really upset, she immediately demanded the Fang family compensate them but Zhang Tingyi who was born shrew immediately plopped on the floor and started crying saying that the family had no money, if they wanted the money so bad, then they might as well kill him and his son and sell their flesh in the market.
Of course, Yu Dong wasn't fooled she immediately rolled her eyes as she watched the act, Zhang Tingyi was putting. " What are you crying for? Has anyone died in your family or what? You know how to act like a leech, you know how to sell someone else's dowry and you also know how to kidnap someone, but you don't know how to pay back the money that you owe?" She snapped taking out her hunter knife as she wielded it in the air and slammed it on the table before breaking it in half. " Old man you better think of a way to come up with the money or else I will break your damn head just like this! Got it! I, Yu Dong, is not someone you can make offend, have you all forgotten it?"
How can they forget such a thing? That fierce night was still deeply instilled in their mind. An angry Yu Dong was like a fierce tiger, she would bite anyone who dared to oppose her.
Zhang Tingyi was scared, he didn't know that Yu Dong was such a fierce woman but Fang Xiumei knew how hard it was to deal with
Yu Dong, in the end, even if she didn't want to, Fang Xiumei wrote a debt note and left it in the hands of Grandma Fang promising that she will pay the money back soon.
