No matter what Huang Cuifen said, Wei Baichuan stood firmly in front of Su Ti, and Huang Cuifen couldn't find an opening.

She kept cursing and swearing that they were a bunch of ungrateful wretches who had forgotten their mothers after getting married.

"Mother, please don't scold my wife. If you're angry, take it out on me. My wife just wants to get her dowry back."

Wei Baichuan felt very uncomfortable listening to his mother repeatedly calling his wife a "little bitch."

He was disliked by his mother, and consequently, his wife was also disliked by her.

He doesn't allow anyone to insult his wife; if she hadn't married him, she wouldn't have to suffer such injustice.

"God, I can't live like this anymore. What's the use of raising a son? I should have just thrown you into a cesspool and drowned you in the first place."

Huang Cuifen was even angrier when she saw that her second son dared to talk back to her, so she picked up a stick and was about to hit him.

"If you dare to hit my man today, I'll definitely take your man's place. You don't believe me? Just try me."

Sutila pulled Wei Baichuan aside and dodged. If there hadn't been other people around, she definitely would have returned the favor.

With so many people in the village watching, if you were to hit your mother-in-law, even if she was in the right, she would be drowned in spittle.

She would never do it in front of others, otherwise, what reason would she have to torment them later?

"Old woman, let them move." Wei Changgen held his pipe in his hand, knowing he couldn't afford to escalate the situation by looking at his second daughter-in-law, who was refusing to budge.

He said that one should not marry a sent-down youth, because they are educated and worldly-wise, and they are prone to reporting others, so one cannot speak to them or hit them.

"Hmph." Huang Cuifen was still angry but dared not say another word after hearing her husband speak.

She glared at the two of them with hostility. She refused to believe that once she stepped into her house, she could let others make the decisions for her.

Once the others have left, there will be plenty of opportunities to discipline them. Isn't it only natural for a mother-in-law to discipline her daughter-in-law?

"Brother Baichuan, while you're moving back, please also bring that tattered bundle from our room. It's my sister's dowry, we can't be greedy for small gains."

"We don't want what isn't ours." Su Ti's veiled insults made Su Nianyou's eyes red with anger.

She could only watch helplessly as Suti and his wife carried the box away, then placed a patched package into her hands.

Seeing the people around her staring at what she was holding and pointing at her, she hated Suti intensely.

Just wait, let her wait.

"Cousin, pay me back." At this point, Su Ti wasn't going to give her any face.

“I don’t have any money. I gave all my money to my mother. The family hasn’t been divided yet, so the money should be handed over.”

Su Nianyou would never hand over the money, no matter what, since these weren't things that were out in the open for everyone to see.

She denied it, and no one had any evidence that she took the money. She said she gave the money to her mother-in-law, so what could Suti do?

Since there's no separation of households, all the money has to be handed over to the public treasury, so Suti has even less reason to ask her for money.

Besides, she managed to coax over seventy yuan from Suti, and she did give ten yuan to her mother-in-law.

At that time, Huang Cuifen was hesitating between herself and Su Ti to be her youngest son's daughter-in-law. She had managed to win Su Ti over with money.

When she saw how generous she was, she assumed that the woman came from a wealthy family and readily agreed.

She knew her mother-in-law favored her husband, and even if she gave everything to her mother-in-law, she would only use it to subsidize her husband in the future.

"Really? I brought two hundred yuan with me when I went to the countryside. Adding the money my family has sent me over the past year, it's about four hundred yuan in total."

"I entrusted everything to you for safekeeping, but you gave it all to your mother-in-law!"

Su Ti didn't believe that Su Nianyou would give all the money to Huang Cuifen; she just gave a random number.

"What? Four hundred yuan? Well, you little slut, you're trying to play tricks on me. You think you can get rid of me with just ten yuan?"

"You think you can marry my son for ten yuan? You just said that we haven't separated the family yet, and this money has to be handed over. You'd better hand over the money right now."

"Otherwise, I'll have my son divorce you, and you can forget about ever entering the Wei family."

Everything else was a minor matter; upon hearing that it was four hundred yuan, Huang Cuifen couldn't care less about anything else.

She didn't care about saving face or anything else; this was four hundred yuan, more than her entire family had saved in all these years.

"I...I didn't take that much money from her at all. Okay, Suti, you hid the money yourself and deliberately pinned it on me, didn't you?"

Su Nianyou was startled by Su Ti's words. She had taken more than seventy yuan from her in the past year. When did she take so much money from her?

And she actually has so much money, yet she keeps it hidden from me. Every time I ask her for money, she says her family hasn't sent it.

“Sister, I’ve given you all my money. Everyone at the educated youth settlement knows that you always ask me for money. Back then, everyone advised me to keep my own money safe.”

“I trust you. I gave you all the money sent from home. You told me to eat more so I could work more, otherwise I wouldn’t have the strength.”

"You said we shouldn't spend money recklessly. In this unfamiliar place, there will be many more places to spend money in the future. I'll listen to you."

She couldn't deny it; the educated youth settlement confirmed it immediately upon questioning.

"I, I..." Su Nianyou was now unable to explain herself; she hadn't taken that much money at all.

Suti did it on purpose, deliberately telling her to cover all that money.

Looking at the man protecting Su Ti, and then at her own man looking at her with a dissatisfied expression.

Nobody believed her.

She wondered why Suti seemed like a completely different person. Had someone said something to her?

She always remembered that there were always a few busybodies at the educated youth settlement, and she had always managed to get away with them before.

But there are always times when we can't see everything, and this time it's probably because they said something.

She needed to stay calm; she had transmigrated into the book and knew all the plot details.

She has now married the male lead, and the book says that he will eventually become the richest man in the country.

The original owner of this body had only married a petty thug and suffered her whole life, but she has changed the plot.

Suti should be grateful to her; at least she didn't let her marry a hoodlum, and she's still her sister-in-law.

If the male lead becomes rich in the future, she'll help her out because they're family.

Seeing how arrogant she is now, don't expect her to help you in the future.

“Nianyou, be a good boy and give the money to your mother for safekeeping. We should be more sensible and not disobey our mothers like others do; that is unfilial.”

Seeing Su Nianyou's dazed expression, Wei Baidao had no choice but to step forward and persuade her, asking if she was out of her mind, since the money wasn't even hers.

Does she really want to return it? She'll give it to her mother for safekeeping, and her mother will find a way to subsidize them in the future.

If the second brother's family takes it back, they won't get anything.

He truly regretted it. He should have married Suti instead; now everything would be perfectly legitimate.

He originally fell for Suti first; she was so beautiful. But his mother insisted that she was too weak to have children.

He also said that Su Nianyou was rich and could give him a son in the future.

He was now in a situation where he had no way to express his suffering, while his second brother had dragged the rich man into the house.

He ended up with nothing, and he was filled with regret!

Su Nianyou was dumbfounded. What should she do? She had no choice but to accept the money, whether she wanted to or not.
