Although Old Mrs. Xia was full of anger, she also felt that what her granddaughter said made sense.
Adultery between a husband and wife is a minor matter; the future of the son and the reputation of the family are more important.
According to the little granddaughter's idea, she could not only gain a good reputation, but also make a lot of money from this bastard. What's more, looking at the cowardly look of this man, Zhang, the bitch, would not have a good ending.
Zhang had no idea what the mother and daughter were thinking, and she looked at Xia Jinxiu with gratitude. She thought that she usually didn't get along with her sister-in-law, but she didn't expect that she would help her at the critical moment.
Xia Jinxiu just smiled coldly. This idiot actually thought she was helping her, haha.
Xia Jinyu and Xia Jinheng were still in shock at being able to hear their niece's inner voice. Xia Jinyu didn't react, but Xia Jinheng, who was smarter than a monkey, couldn't help but admire his niece's thoughts.
"Mom!" Zhang looked at Old Mrs. Xia pitifully.
Old Madam Xia shook her hand off in disdain and said coldly, "We are a kind-hearted family. Although you have done something wrong to us, we will not hold it against you. Jinxiu is right. We should be more generous and accumulate some blessings for future generations."
She glanced at the man with a bruised face and no power to resist, "Back then, our family spent two taels of silver to marry her. All these years, she has eaten and used the best in our house. I don't ask for much from you. Five taels of silver, and I will grant you both your happiness."
[Grandma is smart. We thought the same thing. This was done beautifully.]
[We have gained a good reputation and made money. We won't suffer any loss. It will also be easier for our uncles to find wives in the future. ]
Xia Zhiliao looked at Old Lady Xia with admiration, turning himself into a flatterer and praising her so much that she was very happy.
When she looked at her little granddaughter, the anger in her eyes disappeared and was replaced by a smile that she hadn't seen in a long time.
"Thank you, mother. You are so kind-hearted. Don't worry, even if I remarry, I will still be filial to you." Zhang knelt on the ground and kowtowed continuously.
But she didn't expect that Hu Erping would quit.
"Five taels? Old lady, aren't you extorting me? How much is a virgin worth? Five taels of silver for her... I won't do it!"
"Cousin..." Zhang looked at the man in disbelief, the sweet words he said every day still ringing in her ears.
Old Madam Xia snorted coldly, "You won't do it? Fine, then you bullied my eldest daughter-in-law, and our Xia family won't suffer this loss. Third and fourth brothers, send him to the government office and let the eldest master decide his fate."
"No, no!" When Hu Erping heard that he would be ruined if he were to go to the government office, he would be dead.
Xia Jinxiu winked at Zhang and lowered her voice and said, "Sister-in-law, don't you want to marry him?"
Zhang thought that her aunt was doing this for her own good, and guessed what she meant by looking at her eyes, "Yes, it was you who bullied me, I...I will also go and tell the master."
"My eldest daughter-in-law is the most honest one. Everyone knows that she has been a widow for many years for my son and has never had any other thoughts. You bullied her, and this matter cannot be let go."
"No, please don't, I...I can marry her, can't I? But I don't have that much money!"
[Write a document, sign it and seal it, I can catch you even if you run to the ends of the earth. ]
Xia Zhiliao picked up the coat on the ground, handed it to the old lady, and then gestured to write.
She really needs to recover quickly. It's really frustrating that she can't speak.
"Don't be afraid. Just write a receipt and put your fingerprint on it. Within ten days, give me five taels of silver and we'll let this matter go. Otherwise..." Old Lady Xia sneered, and Hu Erping's heart trembled.
[Grandma is really smart. She understood what I said just by making some gestures.]
Old Mrs. Xia touched her granddaughter's head. What a smart girl she was. If it weren't for her, who knows what stupid thing she would have done in her rage.
It would be terrible if it affected my son's future.
"Mom, my second brother is not here, who will write it?" Xia Jinyu asked.
Old Madam Xia frowned, "Old Four, can't you write?"
"Mom, I can only write a few, but I'm afraid I can't finish them all."
[I can, grandma, I can! ]
Xia Zhiliao was eager to try, and Mrs. Xia's eyes lit up, "Then let Zhiliao try!"
"Mom, how old is Zhiliao? Can she do it?" Xia Jinyu still couldn't believe his ears and thought he was hallucinating.
"She can't do it, but you can? Your second brother is a scholar, so his daughter can't be wrong, right?" Old Mrs. Xia said gently.
Xia Zhiliao smiled first, then walked over and wrote a few lines on the white undershirt with his fingers using the blood on Hu Erping's body. Then he took Hu Erping's hand and put his fingerprints on it.
After the matter was settled, she showed it to Old Lady Xia as if she were presenting a treasure.
Old Mrs. Xia didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Oh my cicada, what are these? I don't know, but I believe you."
Xia Zhiliao was so happy.
[Grandma is not mean at all, she is very nice, and looks very pretty when she smiles. She must have been a great beauty when she was young.]
Old Mrs. Xia took a deep breath. Her daughter was so pretty because she looked like her. Unfortunately, her husband died early, and she had to support the family alone. She was also very strong-willed and became ill from exhaustion.
She knew that being a widow had a hard life, so she was especially nice to Zhang, but she didn't expect that Zhang was someone she couldn't tame.
Well, after she leaves the Xia family, whether it is good or bad depends on her luck.
In short, she didn't lose out.
Xia Zhiliao was still worried, so he wrote another confession from Zhang, and Zhang dared not disobey.
[With these, I don't have to be afraid anymore. It doesn't matter if my aunt changes her mind. ]
Xia Jinxiu rolled her eyes and said, "Sister-in-law, my mother has agreed, but if you want to get married, you must know how to say it, otherwise... when the time comes..."
Zhang nodded vigorously, "I understand, aunt, you are so kind to me."
Xia Jinxiu smiled faintly and said nothing.
Old Mrs. Xia originally thought that she was very angry, but when she thought about the upcoming five taels of silver, it changed her mind.
"Okay, let's go and pray for blessings as agreed today."
After saying this, the old lady personally picked up the little girl, fearing that she would run away again. Such a precious girl could not be lost.
She will have to kowtow to the Buddha a few more times later.
Xia Zhang looked at Hu Erping, not daring to say anything more. She straightened her clothes, looked at him meaningfully, and whispered, "Cousin, I'll wait for you!"
Hu Erping lay on the ground for a long time and couldn't get up. Wasn't the Xia family too harsh?
Moreover, why did he feel that Zhang was joining her husband's family in setting a trap for him?
Five taels of silver, that’s five taels of silver, would he sell everything he has to get it?
Xia Zhang followed at the end, very cautiously. At this moment, she also had a question in her mind.
Didn’t they say they couldn’t come?
