Lu Yaozu looked at Zhao Xiaofang standing motionless in the main hall, veins bulging on his forehead and throbbing in his temples.
"Did you give the money to your brother to get married?" Lu Yaozu's voice trembled as he tried hard to control himself.
Zhao Xiaofang lowered her head, and her nervous hands kept rolling up the corners of her clothes.
The originally smooth clothes were wrinkled by her.
She had never seen Lu Yaozu so angry, especially with her.
She walked up to Lu Yaozu, grabbed his arm, and said in a very soft voice, "My mother borrowed that money from us. She said she would pay us back in a few months."
Lu Yaozu lowered his voice, each word filled with anger: "Didn't you say that my mother stole this money?"
"I remembered it wrong..." Zhao Xiaofang forced a smile of apology, "I just suddenly remembered that my mother borrowed it."
"Where's the IOU? Who did you borrow it from? How come I don't know about it?"
"Zhao Xiaofang, we're already married, so we have to consider our little family in everything, right?"
"We agreed to save this money to buy a house in the county town. How could you lend it to your mother without my consent?"
"Besides, the reason I didn't lend it to your brother was because I thought he was idle and had no proper job, so he definitely wouldn't have the money to pay it back."
"I didn't even lend it to my own brother, but your brother got it for free."
"This is our money, not just yours."
"Go to your mother's house now and get the money back for me."
Zhao Xiaofang was unhappy when she heard this: "You want me to get my money back?"
"I told you that my mother borrowed this money from us, and she will pay it back."
"My brother is getting married this weekend, and the betrothal gifts have all been sent to the bride's family. Where do you want me to go to get the money for you now?"
"Lu Yaozu, I'm telling you, don't get ahead of me!"
"I'm being too arrogant? Zhao Xiaofang, you're a teacher, but you've read so many books that you've lost everything? Taking things without permission is considered stealing, don't you know?" Lu Yaozu's face flushed red.
He didn't understand why Zhao Xiaofang, who had always been well-behaved and sensible, would do such a big thing quietly.
Zhao Xiaofang's voice was sharp: "I also have a share of this money, how can it be called stealing? I already told my mother that she would pay it back, why do you have to take the money now?"
"Your parents are farmers, where can they get 800 yuan?"
"Your brother really doesn't know his own worth. He has no money so he married someone with a smaller gift."
"Why would you spend 800 yuan to marry a daughter-in-law?"
"Zhao Xiaofang, please get this money back for me as soon as possible, otherwise I will go to your mother's house to ask for it myself!" Lu Yaozu said gritting his teeth.
"Where can I ask my mother to get 800 yuan now?" Zhao Xiaofang became anxious when she heard that he was coming to her house.
She knew very well that her mother couldn't pay back the money, so wouldn't there be a quarrel if Lu Yaozu went there?
This is eight hundred yuan, not eighty yuan. Her family's annual income is only two or three hundred yuan. It will take her three years to pay it back even if she doesn't eat or drink.
I just mentioned a few months ago only because Lu Yaozu was angry and I wanted to calm him down first.
She thought that Lu Yaozu usually doted on her and treated her so well that he would not be angry with her because of this matter. At most, he would just say a few words to her.
Unexpectedly, Lu Yaozu valued money more than her.
"It's none of my business where it goes. That's my money, you have to get it back!"
"Eight hundred yuan to marry your brother? Wouldn't it be better for me to marry an eight hundred yuan wife myself? And let him be the middleman and make a profit from the difference?"
The more Lu Yaozu thought about it, the angrier he became. He glared at Zhao Xiaofang and went straight back into the house, slamming the door shut.
Chen Lichu felt distressed when he saw the dirt debris falling down the door frame.
She doesn't have money to buy a house yet, so she has to live in this house for a while.
All the troublesome sons at home like to slam doors.
She also had to find a way to get some money so that she could renovate the old house.
"Lu Yaozu, tell me clearly, which 800-yuan wife do you want to marry?" Zhao Xiaofang was very angry at Lu Yaozu's words. She knocked on the door and cried.
"Alright, alright, stop filming. If you have time, you might as well go back to your parents' home and think of a way to get the money back." Chen Lichu advised kindly.
She sat on the sofa with her legs crossed, eating the oranges peeled by her little girl, watching them quarrel, and felt happy.
There are no TV dramas, no novels, and no short plays in this era...
Thinking of the skit, Chen Lichu sneered, isn't this much more exciting than a skit?
The actors all have superb acting skills, and you can see that they have a strong sense of conviction.
"How can you still laugh?" Zhao Xiaofang looked at Chen Lichu in disbelief.
How can a mother-in-law laugh when watching her son and daughter-in-law quarrel?
It would be fine if you didn't help to persuade them, but why are you gloating over their misfortune?
"This is all your fault. If you hadn't stolen our bankbook today, would this have happened?"
"What good will it do you if I quarrel with Lu Yaozu?"
"You do this and you still want to have grandchildren?"
"If we get divorced, do you think Lu Yaozu will be single for the rest of his life?" Zhao Xiaofang knew that Chen Lichu wanted to hold his grandson the most.
If she said that, Shen Lichu would definitely be scared and would definitely try to comfort herself.
"You, a chicken that can't lay eggs, want to give birth to grandchildren for our family?"
"Are you worthy?"
"Don't think I don't know that you've been telling everyone that our family's Yaozu is not good enough. Aren't you just afraid that we'll find out that you're infertile?"
"Hiding your infertility is marriage fraud!"
"It's because I'm kindhearted that I didn't kick you out of the house, but you're still ruining my son's reputation everywhere."
