As early as when they were at the health center, Shen Chunshu had noticed it. When he mentioned going to the Li family to ask, Li Xiaoqin's face turned very ugly.
It goes without saying that the Li couple had no idea about this money.
There is no other possibility as to where the money came from except that it was given by my father.
But unexpectedly, Shen Qiushu was not afraid at all, and said with a smile: "Let's go, let's go tomorrow, whoever doesn't go is a grandson."
"When I get there, I'll ask my father-in-law to tell us exactly how much dowry he gave us."
"If they ask why I'm asking this, I'll tell them the truth: my elder brother wants to take their daughter's dowry away. As long as you don't feel embarrassed, I don't care."
Chen Chunshu's face flushed as he argued, "When did I ever say I wanted to rob your wife's dowry?"
If this name gets out, will he still be able to live as a human being?
I have seen people taking their own wife's dowry, but when have you ever heard of an elder brother snatching his younger brother's wife's dowry?
What is happening?
Chen Qiushu looked at him with innocent eyes: "Didn't you just ask us to hand over the money?"
"You still insist on saying that it was given by Dad? Don't you know how much money our family has?"
"If you want my wife's dowry, just tell me directly. Why are you trying to beat around the bush and give us a false accusation? Is that interesting?"
Old man Shen at the side finally understood the reason. He looked at Li Xiaoqin and asked, "When you got married, did your parents give you money?"
Li Xiaoqin pursed her lips and nodded.
I can't say that I saved the money secretly, otherwise my father-in-law might really ask me to hand it over.
After all, it's called dowry money, so he can still be a little cautious.
At the same time, Li Xiaoqin quickly added: "It's not much money, less than 1 yuan, and... and this time I spent all the money to treat Qiu Shu's injuries and get medicine."
Wang Huilian didn't care whether Li Xiaoqin's money was her dowry or not. She said to Li Xiaoqin in dissatisfaction, "You have money, why didn't you take it out when you borrowed money from Hu Lili last time? You made the whole family bow down to Hu Lili? What are you thinking?"
Li Xiaoqin was so angry at Wang Huilian's shamelessness that she gasped: "Sister-in-law, you are also a woman. If it were you, would you take it out?"
Unexpectedly, Wang Huilian replied without blinking or panicking: "Of course I will take it. When something happens at home, a daughter-in-law must contribute money and effort!"
Li Xiaoqin: ...
Chen Qiushu sneered at the side: "Of course you will take it. Why did you borrow money from Hu Lili last time? Wasn't it because of the trouble caused by your good girl? If you don't take it, who will?"
"I was injured because of your son this time, so shouldn't my sister-in-law also pay me some nutrition money?"
"After all, I lost a finger and lost so much blood. How can I not eat something good to replenish it?"
When Wang Huilian heard that someone was asking her for money, she immediately stepped back and said, "I don't have any money. You can ask whoever you want."
Chen Chunshu was asking his father and the third brother about the source of their money, but he didn't expect the topic to go off track and even turned to his own family, so he quickly changed the subject back.
"I just don't believe that the money came from her mother's family. Who doesn't know what her family is like? And there's money hidden in the bottom of the box? How can they flatter themselves so much?"
When Chen Qiushu heard this, he didn't care about the pain in his hand anymore and immediately got up to put on his shoes, and raised his hand to call Chen Chunshu.
"Come on, let's go to my father-in-law's house and ask him about it, so that you won't feel anxious. If something bad happens, how can we afford it?"
Old man Shen grabbed him and said, "What are you doing so late at night? Don't you see what time it is now?"
Chen Qiushu was unwilling to accept the defeat and insisted on going to the field: "Dad, let go. You have to go now, otherwise I don't know how my eldest brother will frame you and me. I won't take the blame for this."
The third son's rogue behavior gave Old Man Shen a headache.
He looked at the eldest brother angrily: "I really didn't give them money, and you didn't split up the family, so why would I secretly give them money?"
"Besides, my family is in such a bad situation now. How can I have any money? If I had money, I would definitely use it to pay off the famine first!"
Seeing that Shen Chunshu still didn't say anything and looked adamant, Old Man Shen picked up a pillow and threw it at him.
"Look at how unconvinced you are. Do I deserve it or do I owe it to you? You are already over 40 years old, and you don't want to honor me first, but you are suspicious all day long and say that I am partial to someone?"
"I have always treated you three brothers equally. Don't worry, as long as I am alive, I will be in charge of our family's money. No one is allowed to hide the money."
At this point, Old Man Shen suddenly looked up and asked Li Xiaoqin: "How much did you spend on the treatment? How much is left?"
Li Xiaoqin's heart trembled, and after a pause she replied cautiously, "It cost 62 cents to see the doctor, so I only have 8 cents left."
After hearing this, Old Man Shen held out his hand and said, "Give me the rest of the money first. I'll keep it for you, so that the brothers won't have to quarrel over such a small amount of money."
Then he added: "Don't worry, I won't embezzle your money. Just keep it with me and I'll give it to you later."
Li Xiaoqin's face suddenly turned red. She was so angry that her hands were shaking.
I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen anyone so shameless.
As a father-in-law, he actually asked his daughter-in-law for dowry money?
Old man Shen had the nerve to ask for it, but she was too embarrassed to give it to him!!!
Chen Qiushu was also unwilling to do so. He was sure he could get it back from his wife. If he gave it to his father, he would not be sure who it would belong to in the future.
"Dad, I can't give you this money. How can a father-in-law keep his daughter-in-law's dowry? If this gets out, it will be easy to explain but not nice to hear!"
Old Man Shen glared and said, "As long as our family doesn't tell anyone, who outside will know?"
At this time, Wang Huilian also chimed in: "That's right, after we leave this door, can't we all just keep our mouths shut?"
She and the second son's wife, both daughters-in-law, have nothing in their hands, so why is Li Xiaoqin, who married in last, holding the money?
If everyone is poor, then everyone will be poor together. She doesn't allow Li Xiaoqin to be treated specially.
Li Xiaoqin was angry when she saw Wang Huilian being so proud, and couldn't help but mock her: "Sister-in-law, aren't you worried about your son? And you still have the time to care about the few cents in my hand?"
When Wang Huilian mentioned her son, her face suddenly froze, and her arrogant attitude just now immediately deflated. She hummed and finally shut up.
Being interrupted by the two of them, Old Man Shen found it difficult to ask the third son's wife for money again.
But when he thought of the remaining 8 cents, Old Man Shen felt a little unwilling.
