Chapter 20: Liu Ling kicks the door and makes trouble
The sudden sound of kicking the door startled several people in the room.
Originally they were discussing the marriage of Lu Bin and Jiang Xian.
Mother Lu just announced the amount of the betrothal gift she was going to give to Jiang Xian.
The wallet hasn't even been taken out yet.
It was interrupted by several people who suddenly rushed in.
After the people in the room reacted, they immediately turned around and looked towards the door.
When Jiang Xian turned around, he saw Liu Ling and another strange middle-aged woman standing at the door, staring into their room.
The faces of the two men were extremely dark.
When Mr. Lu saw that it was the two of them who kicked the door, he immediately became furious.
What is going on?
Are you trying to ruin the show?
Knowing that the third brother brought back a new bride today, why are they still like this and come here to make trouble without any sense?
He took his walking stick and knocked hard on the kang, cursing in obvious anger:
"Big brother and second wife, what are you doing?"
"Don't you know that we are discussing important matters in the house?"
"You have to choose the right occasion to make trouble. Is there anything you can't say after the other person leaves?"
What if Jiang Xian changes her mind and marries Lu Bin because of them?
You have to know that before the wedding, everything is subject to change.
Mr. and Mrs. Lu are old, so naturally they don't want to make any mistakes.
They only hope that their youngest son can get married as soon as possible.
He didn't want any accidents to happen before everything was settled.
After all, Mr. Lu is old and his reaction is quite slow.
After all, these two daughters-in-law tend to act like mischievous women on a daily basis.
Now when I saw these two men kicking the door, I just thought they came over to cause trouble again.
That's why Mr. Lu said what he just said. He was really angry.
After hearing what Lu's father said, Liu Ling curled her lips in disdain, looking as if she didn't care.
He didn't take Mr. Lu's words to heart at all.
She glanced at Zhou Qing next to her, and then said sarcastically:
"Look at what you said, Dad. If someone didn't know, they would think we made a huge mistake."
"Of course we have something extremely urgent to do, so we kicked the door in a hurry."
When she said this, Liu Ling paused, looked at Jiang Xian, and rolled her eyes at her.
Then he continued, saying meaningfully:
"We are so anxious because we are afraid of being at a disadvantage."
"Mom and Dad, you two can't be so partial."
"It's said everywhere that we treat all the daughters-in-law the same, without favoring anyone."
"How come when it comes to my third brother's wife, the betrothal gift is 80 yuan more than ours?"
"Look at her pale face and skinny body. There's not even a pound of flesh on her butt. You can tell at a glance that she is unlucky."
"If you are so biased, don't blame us for being rude. The third brother won't get married."
After Liu Ling finished speaking, she winked at Zhou Qing, who was standing beside her, and asked her to say a few words as well.
Zhou Qing was originally a person who would not suffer any loss. She rolled her eyes and said with a shrewd look:
"My sister-in-law is right. You can't be so partial."
"If you still want the third child to get married smoothly."
"Then I'll give you two choices."
"First, the amount of the betrothal gift to Jiang Xian should be the same as ours. In this way, we won't care about it. We will pretend that we didn't hear anything you discussed in the room today."
"If you think the first option is not feasible, then you can make up for the eighty yuan of betrothal gifts that we are short of."
"In this case, the betrothal gifts on both sides are the same, so we naturally won't have any objections."
"My parents have been crying poor to us for so many years. After all, the family fortune is left for my third brother to marry."
"Since the 200 yuan betrothal gift has been paid, it shouldn't be possible. What's missing is the 80 yuan from me and my second sister-in-law, right?"
After the two of them finished talking, the whole room was silent for a moment.
The degree of shamelessness these two people are subjected to is simply shocking.
Mother Lu was stunned.
In fact, the amount of the bride price was a decision she made after careful consideration.
Over the years, Lu Bin has given so much for their family.
The old couple loved their youngest son from the bottom of their hearts.
Plus, after hearing what Jiang Xian said just now, about her rough life, Mother Lu felt so distressed when she heard it.
What's more, she also has a daughter. If you put yourself in her shoes, if the things that happened to Jiang Xian happened to their daughter, they would probably be heartbroken.
Even if he is dead, he will crawl up as a ghost and cause trouble for Uncle and Aunt Jiang Xian!
Moreover, Lu's mother also doubted that her son was not capable enough.
So many points combined together.
Naturally, Mother Lu prepared to give Jiang Xian a little more on the betrothal gift.
No matter what, you can't let the girl suffer!
But she couldn't have expected that two Cheng Yaojins would appear halfway.
As for Mr. Lu, he was so angry that he almost passed away.
So the others simply turned their heads away and stopped looking at them.
I just went there to sulk.
As for Mother Lu, she was also shocked by the words of her two daughters-in-law:
"What are you two talking about?"
"It's just a small matter, why do you have to come over here and eavesdrop?"
"When you two got married, I did give each of you a dowry of 120 yuan."
"But that was more than a decade ago."
"The price of rice, flour, grain and oil has more than doubled over the years."
"The fried dough twist at the entrance of the village was only 20 cents a stick the year you married into our family. Now the price has doubled."
"If you calculate it this way, wouldn't your original 120 yuan be worth 240 yuan now?"
"If you look at it this way, then I gave Jiang Xian 200 yuan as a betrothal gift, and I still owe him 40 yuan. It seems that you are the ones who got the better deal."
Although Mother Lu has been unable to handle many things in recent years due to poor health.
But when it comes to arguing with people, she has never lost.
What she said was even very logical and made some sense.
Liu Ling and Zhou Qing's faces instantly turned ugly after being confronted with this.
The two looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
They also didn't expect that Lu's mother would argue with them about this and even use the example of rising prices.
Seeing the two of them being frustrated, Jiang Xian burst out laughing.
I didn’t expect that her mother-in-law is so talented.
Jiang Xian thought about it, then agreed:
