Chapter 1307 - 1306: You Really Know How to Sit Back and Watch the Tigers Fight
Chapter 1306: You’re Playing the ’Sit and Wait for the Tiger Fight’ Card Really Well
Mengyu and Gougou have already sworn kinship; from now on, they’re family. This favor can be repaid slowly. As for Zhou Erleng, since there’s no favor to speak of, she’ll have to repay revenge properly.
However, the Zhou Brothers are quite gullible, and You Laoer worried they would mess things up, so he didn’t involve them in the human trafficking business. At most, the brothers tried to buy a wife, and even that wasn’t successful.
Using the law to punish them wouldn’t work. Giving them a beating would only sully her own hands, so she thought of using You Laoer’s hand to teach them a lesson.
Zhou Erleng glanced at Mengyu and saw her looking at him with a half-smile, and suddenly a surge of manly pride rose in his chest.
He shouted towards You Laoer, "Second Brother, I can agree with you on other things, but she’s our wife. A wife can’t be given up, or else we’re not men. So, Second Brother, I can’t follow your orders on this matter."
Zhou Daleng listened and immediately felt that his brother was right; if they couldn’t even protect their own woman, were they still men?
He immediately added, "Second Brother, what you’re doing isn’t right. A brother’s wife shouldn’t be touched. How can you take our brother’s wife to be your village chief’s wife?"
With that remark, the Zhou Brothers accused You Laoer of a crime: taking a brother’s wife.
If the bought wife committed a crime and was demoted to a shared wife for the whole village, then that’s on her, but even then, her husband must agree.
Moreover, Old Lady Zhou was there cheering for her two sons.
"Exactly, exactly, we just bought this daughter-in-law back."
However, the moment Old Lady Zhou said this, someone immediately opposed, "That’s not right, Mrs. Zhou. She came here on her own."
Old Lady Zhou rolled her eyes, "Whatever the case, it’s true that we bought a wife. No matter how capable You Laoer is, he can’t take someone else’s wife."
The crowd looked at her, astonished — this old woman dares to say anything.
No doubt, the reason Zhou Daleng and Zhou Erleng have such boldness has much to do with their mother.
Seeing no one refute her, Old Lady Zhou grew even more triumphant and said, "Moreover, if You Laoer can take away our Zhou Family’s daughter-in-law today, who’s to say he won’t set his sights on one of your wives next?"
With these words, silence fell around them.
The men in the village all looked at You Laoer differently: maybe this could really happen.
You Laoer noticed the looks from the men in the room, the vein on his forehead throbbing: this crazy old woman.
He rolled his eyes and looked at Mengyu, who was watching the show from the sideline, "Girl, you’re really playing the ’sit and wait for the tiger fight’ card well. You’ve stirred up all these rebellious feelings among my subordinates. Satisfied?"
When the men heard You Laoer’s words, they shivered in unison: true enough, they’ve all been played by this girl. They’ve ended up fighting among themselves. Indeed, the prettier the woman, the more she spells disaster.
One by one, the men glared at Mengyu, as if she was something like Bao Ni or Daji, a vixen who came here specifically to bring them disaster.
Mengyu chuckled, "Second Brother, don’t forget it was you who gave them the choice between being the Zhou Brothers’ shared wife or becoming your village chief’s wife. How did it turn into me playing ’sit and wait for the tiger fight’?"
