Li Qingyin's mother-in-law didn't believe Chen Ruifeng's words at all. She grabbed a handful of her hair and asked harshly, 'Tell me, how much silver did you give to your parents?'
Chen Ruifeng, originally wanting to lie, blurted out, 'Four taels of silver!'
The villagers immediately pointed fingers at Chen Ruifeng, especially the older generation. Taking the in-law's money back to subsidize the natal family was considered a grave offense.
"Disgraceful thing! If she were my daughter-in-law, I'd beat her to death!"
"Yes, such an ungrateful woman, it's better to divorce her."
"Exactly, since she's so partial to her natal family, let her go back and see if her natal family will accept her!"
…
Li Qingyin's mother-in-law's face turned extremely dark. In a fit of anger, she slapped Chen Ruifeng again and asked, 'When did you steal the money?'
