Bab 141: You Bullies

Feng Yinshi quickly turned around and kowtowed to Shopkeeper Lu.

"Dear mother-in-law, I beg you to spare me. I've realized my mistakes and promise to mend my ways in the future."

"Mother-in-law? I can't accept that title. If it weren't for your deceitful marriage, my dowry of ten thousand taels of silver wouldn't have been lost. My daughter could have found a loving husband."

Madam Feng couldn't tolerate it anymore. "We became in-laws by marriage. That was your daughter's decision."

"Wasn't it your sweet talk that convinced us your son would be devoted to my daughter? Is this what you call devotion?"

"What do you want? We don't have money."

"Fine, then we'll go with the punishment!" 

"That threat hit them where it hurts the most, right in their weak spot." 

Deflated by the threat, the Feng family had nothing to say. At this moment, the child's crying filled the room, and two maids rushed to console him.
