Su Sijin sneered and started to retort, "Third Aunt, while you were eating meat buns and dried meat, we, the sick and weak women in the eldest house, were eating hard steamed bread."
"There were also sour and bitter wild vegetables that were hard to swallow. Qiu Ling almost choked to death several times."
Su Sijin glanced at the Lu family with a sarcastic smile, and said in a veiled way:
"Why didn't you uncles and aunts give us some before? When my mother asked you for buns for Qiu Ling, did you give them to her?"
"Now Third Aunt has the nerve to tell me that the Lu family has not split up, and everything must be handed over to the public and divided equally. Before you blame us, you might as well ask how you treated our eldest branch before."
Su Sijin's words touched Qin Qing's sore spot, and she was so angry that she jumped up and down, "Chang Gong and Chang Ji, the imperial doctors all said that medicine and stone have no cure, and it would be a waste to take them. Instead of wasting them, it's better to leave them to someone who can be useful to the Lu family."
Su Sijin's eyes flashed with coldness, and she said in a cold voice, "Even our eldest house hasn't given up? And Third Aunt is making the decision on behalf of the eldest house, strangling the lives of my husband and third brother?"
"I..." Qin Qing wanted to argue, but was stopped by Madam Lu.
"shut up."
Since Mrs. Lu had spoken, Qin Qing naturally didn't dare to say anything more.
Qin Qing was not convinced and had to glare at Su Sijin.
Old Madam Lu glared at Su Sijin with displeasure, and turned her gaze with disdain towards Zheng Jie, who had a bitter look on her face.
Seeing her like this, Madam Lu scolded her with a dark face: "I'm not dead yet, are you cursing me with such a sad face?"
"My eldest daughter-in-law, the Lu family has not yet split up, so the money should be handed over to the public treasury and managed by me. This is the rule."
Su Sijin sneered. It was really funny that he spoke so sanctimoniously. The excuses he found were so perfunctory. Was he so sure that the Lu family's eldest son would be obedient?
Mrs. Lu was very confident that Zheng Jie would hand over the money obediently.
The word "rules" was enough to make Zheng Jie surrender, and it had worked many times before.
Zheng Jie gritted her teeth and remained silent for a long time.
Madam Lu felt her dignity was challenged and scolded her harshly, "What? Big Boss's wife, are you planning a rebellion?"
A big pot was knocked down, and Zheng Jie suddenly raised her head, looked at Mrs. Lu with a sullen face, and then lowered her head in fear.
He shook his head and said timidly, "The money my mother gave me was for Chang Gong and Chang Ji's medical treatment. The imperial physician never said that there is no cure."
"Even if there's no cure, as a mother, how can I watch my child die in front of me? Mother, I can't do it."
Although Zheng Jie was foolishly filial and strictly abided by the etiquette of women, Qin Qing's words just now woke her up.
Once this money is given out, not only will there be no money to pay for Chang Gong and Chang Ji's medical treatment and medicine, even food may not be distributed to the eldest son's family.
From the beginning of exile to the present day, this is the best proof.
Madam Lu knocked her cane until it made a clattering sound. Her cloudy eyes were already spitting fire as she commanded in an unquestionable voice:
"Alright! It seems you really want to rebel. I'm not even dead yet, and you want to be the boss. Let me tell you, the rules are there, and you have to hand them over today even if you don't want to."
"Second wife, third wife, go get it."
It is said that they are taking but in fact they are robbing. They don’t hand it over voluntarily, but just rob it directly.
"Let's see who dares to take a step forward."
Su Sijin stood in front of Zheng Jie, and her sinister eyes repelled Huang Siyan and Qin Qing from approaching.
"Su, don't forget the rules. I have the right to divorce you without the consent of the eldest branch of the family."
Madam Lu stared at her warningly like an eagle staring at a chick.
This is a naked threat, threatening to divorce her to scare her.
Su Sijin was not afraid. In her mind, her husband was not the most important thing. A divorced woman would either die or become a nun in the mountains.
Su Sijin sneered, "The money my mother and I got was given by my parents, and what my parents gave was naturally a dowry."
"Grandmother, does that mean the dowry also has to be handed over to the government for the whole family to squander?"
Su Sijin looked at Madam Lu, curled her lips slightly, and threatened: "If our dowry is to be handed over to the public, I would like to ask if this is the rule for everyone, or if it is only the Lu family."
After Su Sijin finished speaking, she turned around and was about to ask someone, but was stopped by Madam Lu, "Su, stop right there, you are so disrespectful and unruly..." Bitch.
Madam Lu omitted the last two words.
If Su Sijin really went to verify it, the Lu family would lose face.
Su Sijin raised the corner of her mouth in triumph, "Grandma, do you still want our dowry?"
Madam Lu gritted her teeth and scolded, "What do you want or not? I already said I'll keep it for you. Don't be ungrateful."
"If you don't agree, forget it. You deserve it if it's lost."
Although her goal was not achieved, Mrs. Lu still wanted to save face with words.
Su Sijin just raised her eyebrows. Their goal was accomplished, but hers was not.
So, Su Sijin's eyebrows curved, "Grandmother, your words reminded me that the Lu family has not yet split up. My husband and third brother's illnesses require half of the money to find a doctor to treat them."
Su Sijin successfully saw anger and unwillingness on the faces of the Lu family, and was in a good mood. She then said something that drove them crazy.
"From now on, whatever Grandma and all the uncles and aunts eat, we will eat too. After all, the Lu family hasn't split up yet!"
"We can't eat wild vegetables and fruits while you eat meat buns and chew dried meat."
"If this gets out, won't it be said that Grandma and my uncle and aunt are bullying the orphans and widows of the eldest branch, plus two seriously ill people who are incurable?"
Su Sijin achieved her goal, and she turned around and left with Zheng Jie, tricking them and even turning the tables. She felt so good.
Leaving behind the noise and shouting.
