Chapter 248 Daya strikes back

Those who ruin a marriage are truly despicable.

But before Lu Qiniang took action, Daya had already spoken softly.

She said, "I was clean before I got engaged to your son, but now I'm not clean. So who is dirty? Are you coming here today to make it up to me?"

"You little bitch!" Zhao cursed.

Jiang Xuan had already slapped him with his sword.

Yes, he slapped it, without even drawing his sword, he just slapped it like slapping a fly, and Zhao's mouth was full of blood.

Lu Qiniang: What did she say?

She didn't even have to do anything, it was so satisfying!

Daya reached out to stop Jiang Xuan, her brows calm, not at all angry at Zhao's dirty words.

Seeing that she was confident, Jiang Xuan took a step back and stayed by her side to protect her, fearing that Zhao would suddenly attack.

"You clearly know that I am marrying into a wealthy family, yet you still dare to come and scold me. Do you think I have too good a temper, or that your family lives too comfortably?" Daya was very calm, but every word she said was so powerful that no one dared to underestimate her.

"Even if we want the betrothal gifts back, after all these years of marriage, my mother has given you at least eight taels of gifts every year and festival. Even the dress you are wearing now was made of material given by my mother."

How can poor people afford to buy clothes every year?

Especially good clothes, buy a set and wear them for many years.

The clothes Zhao was wearing looked quite new. They were indeed made of the material that Lu Qiniang had given her when she was well off a few years ago.

She made clothes and only wore them during the Chinese New Year.

If she hadn't wanted to ruin Daya's marriage and give her son another chance today, she wouldn't have been willing to sit on the ground like this.

She had no choice.

Hu Tou's heart was seduced away by Daya.

He doesn't want to see anyone now.

Zhao then held a grudge against Daya.

"Even though we're in power now, we don't intend to force you into a corner. But since you've insisted on coming to us... you have five men in your family, so you're fearless. So, when you return to serve in the military, you'll have a few more men in your family."

"You're talking nonsense!" Zhao became anxious.

Her husband's son cannot join the army and die.

"You're talking nonsense. But if I say your family needs to provide a certain number of people, then your family has to provide a certain number of people. Do you believe it?"

Zhao was really panicked now.

She couldn't help but look at Jiang Xuan, wanting to ask him, do you also want a woman like this?

But Jiang Xuan glanced over, his eyes as cold as ice, freezing Zhao's words in his throat.

"Get out of here!" Doctor Hu said, "If you mess with Daya again, I'll see if she'll spare you!"

Zhao thought it was just a step, so she quickly got up and ran away, crawling and rolling.

Jiang Xuan wanted to comfort Daya, but he felt that words were pale and the more he said, the more mistakes he would make, as if he cared.

Unexpectedly, Daya gave him a knowing smile in return, her pupils clear, which reminded Jiang Xuan of the calm and open-minded look of the Bodhisattva with lowered brows in the murals of the ancient temple.

"Come in, come in." Doctor Hu was particularly polite to Jiang Xuan. "This is the first time our new son-in-law has come to visit us during the Chinese New Year. He is an honored guest."

His new son-in-law, Xin Jian, also stepped forward to pay his respects, calling him "Commander-in-Chief Jiang" and making an inviting gesture, very humbly.

He did not say anything about Xiao Yan.

Jiang Xuan asked Xiao Yan and Lu Qiniang to go first.

Doctor Hu probably felt a little embarrassed and said, "Look at my brain, I forgot to introduce them to Ji'an. Ji'an, just follow Dujuan and call them aunt and uncle."

Xin Ji'an smiled and said, "I was just thinking about how to address you, afraid of getting it wrong and getting embarrassed. Uncle, aunt, please come in."

Everyone went into the house together.

Doctor Hu’s house was not big. There was a table on the kang for the women and children, and another table in the living room.

There was only a curtain between the two rooms, so I could hear everything being said clearly.

Doctor Hu has been greeting his two young sons-in-law and Xiao Yan.

Xin Jian'an's way of speaking is very comforting.

It would be better if he didn't deliberately praise Jiang Xuan.

Doctor Hu had a heavy bleeding today, so he ordered two tables of banquets and didn’t have to cook.

Lu Qiniang liked children, so she held Hu Rui in her arms and picked up some food for him.

San Ya was not jealous, she just focused on eating.

Lin smiled and said, "I really like San Ya. If she wasn't a little older than Hu Rui, I would really like to marry them off. But being four or five years older doesn't really matter..."

When Lu Qiniang heard this, she thought, this means they want to get married!

That won't work.

She really didn't believe her own vision.

In the past, when she looked at Tiger Head, she thought everything about him was good.

In the end, I found such a terrible family.

Fortunately it didn't work out, otherwise she would have regretted it to death.

"Mother, don't worry about it," Du Juan said. "In the future, Erya and Sanya's marriages will definitely be arranged by Da Ya. They will definitely marry into good families. Forget about our family."

Erya was not happy to hear it. "What are you talking about? It's not like our two families have been friends for so many years. We've been going back and forth, taking care of each other. It's so nice. It's just too early. Hu Rui is still having a runny nose! It would be so embarrassing if he falls for someone else in the future. We can talk about the future later. My family can afford to raise a daughter, and your family can afford to marry a daughter-in-law."

"That's right," Lin said hurriedly, "It's time for Erya to get married."

Erya: “…”

"She's not in a hurry. I'd rather pay her two more years of head tax than pick a good one. If I find someone like the Hutou family again, I'll regret it to death."

Everyone was talking and laughing, and they were quite happy.

But after returning home, Erya and Lu Qinniang grumbled to each other.

"Mom, why do I look down on that man Du Juan so much? Just listen to him flattering my eldest brother-in-law. It gave me goosebumps all over my body."

"Don't talk nonsense. You don't need to be so arrogant when you're out there. I think he's quite lively. People like him will be popular in the future and will be able to make a living!"

"That's a bit too much. I don't like her anyway, so I wouldn't want her even if she was given to me." Erya rolled her eyes. "She treats Dujuan like a treasure and wants a bigger dowry, afraid of being looked down upon. She doesn't even consider that the Xin family is a family of officials, yet they only gave a betrothal gift of 66 taels of silver. Dujuan's dowry is worth 300 or 400 taels!"

"You're so arrogant! Sixty-six taels isn't enough! Which girl in Tonghuafang could afford such a large betrothal gift? Just because your eldest sister married well doesn't mean you can look down on others."

"Maybe I just can't help comparing. Anyway, I think she didn't marry well."

"Just keep your mouth shut."

Lu Qiniang actually felt uncomfortable too.

And this discomfort mainly comes from Xin Jian'an's neglect of Xiao Yan.

Who doesn’t have ups and downs in life?

Even though Xiao Yan is no longer General Po Lu, he is still an elder after all.

Xin Ji'an is a bit too arrogant, huh!

But I can’t tell this to Arya.

If this girl doesn't keep her mouth shut and tells Dujuan, it will cause trouble.
