Chapter 147: Finally Over

 Chapter 147: Finally Over

Fan Zhong was eager to try, while Village Chief Yan had an unpleasant expression and saw no need to try. He clearly believed Da Ya's words more than old lady Zhang.

Nevertheless, he still took the keys from Fan Zhong's hand and tried them one by one. On the third try, the lock on the small box clicked open.

Village Chief Yan had a gloomy expression as he took the keychain and smashed it towards old man Zhang, saying, "Bring out the silver! Aren't you ashamed? Your son is like this, your wife is like this. Did you teach them all this?"

"No, I didn't know, Village Chief."

"Enough nonsense! Hurry up and bring the money." Seeing old lady Zhang's about to protest, Village Chief Yan lost all patience. "If you dawdle any longer, get out of Da Yan Village now. Roll as far away as possible."

Old man Zhang pulled Old lady Zhang and they entered the house.

Shu Yu reminded them from behind, "And what about my sister's dowry, the cabinets and boxes? Considering your shameless behavior, they probably aren't in my sister's room anymore, right?"

Da Hu vigorously nodded beside her. "I just went in to check. There's only a broken wardrobe in Big Sister's room."

Da Ya looked at Feng Shi and Zhou Shi and said, "The two boxes are in the rooms of the two sisters-in-law. The cabinets and dressing table are in the in-laws' room."

Village Chief Yan then looked at Zhang's eldest and second son. "What's the matter? Do I have to personally bring the things out?"

The Zhang family was completely ashamed and murmured quietly as they returned to their rooms.

Before long, they brought out the items one by one.

The old lady looked at each item on the dowry list one by one. Fortunately, Da Ya hadn't been married for long. Although the items looked a bit dirty, they weren't damaged.

In the end, old man Zhang gave Da Ya the two taels of silver that she had brought as dowry. However, under the stern gaze of Village Chief Yan, he also gave another two taels of silver as compensation for the hardships Da Ya had endured over the past two years.

With that, both sides didn't say much more.

At this point, Fan Zhong also gave Village Chief Yan some face and didn't pursue the matter further. After all, the two taels of silver weren't enough to compensate for all the suffering Da Ya had endured over the past two years.

But he was afraid that pushing too hard would drive Zhang's family crazy.

He called the young men in the village and said, "Come, carry these boxes and cabinets back. Be careful not to bump them."

Everyone eagerly rolled up their sleeves and got to work. Zhang's family watched helplessly as their belongings, which were originally meant for Da Ya, were being carried away, causing them immense heartache.

These people were like bandits, marching into their home, taking their things, and then leaving, leaving their home in a mess.

Shu Yu walked at the back, holding Da Ya's hand on her left and Da Hu's hand on her right.

When they reached the door, she turned around and looked at Zhang Shu.

His eyes were filled with hatred, and his gaze fell fiercely on Da Ya.

Shu Yu smiled, opened her mouth, and silently said to him, "The matter isn't over yet."

Zhang Shu was unwilling to let Da Ya go. Was Shu Yu willing to let it go? Would she let go of the suffering Da Ya had endured and the wasted years? She wouldn't.

It seemed as if someone wouldn't seek revenge.

The figures of the three siblings disappeared completely at the entrance of Zhang's house. Soon, the sound of Zhang's mother wailing and the intense quarreling between the two daughters-in-law could be heard from inside.

Shu Yu smiled, lowered her head, and ruffled Da Hu's head. "You're quite bold, sneaking behind us and even daring to fight."
