Chapter 21: Jiang Xian's War with His Two Sisters-in-law
"Sisters-in-law, there's nothing wrong with what our mother said."
"When you two got married here, it was already ten years ago."
"The prices back then are simply incomparable to what they are now. Everything is going up in price now."
"It seems that according to the betrothal gift you offered, Mom has to give me 240 yuan, otherwise I won't get married!"
Jiang Xian directly returned what Liu Ling and Zhou Qing had just said.
She stared at Liu Ling and Zhou Qing carefully, thinking that it was true, just as Lu Bin said, these two women were not easy to deal with.
Today's first impression can be said to be ruined.
She had not forgotten that these two people had just attacked her figure and appearance.
How presumptuous!
Jiang Xian simply couldn't bear it anymore.
So after Lu's mother finished speaking, she couldn't help but continue to attack.
Lu Bin’s two sisters-in-law are not good people. They were a little confused by what Lu’s mother said just now.
But they reacted quickly.
Before he could open his mouth, he heard what Jiang Xian said.
It's like rubbing their faces on the ground.
How can this be tolerated?
Zhou Qing has always had a bad temper. After hearing what Jiang Xian said, he spoke sarcastically to them.
It's simply unbearable.
She immediately became angry and pointed at Jiang Xian's nose and cursed:
"You haven't even entered the house yet, what right do you have to meddle in our family's affairs?"
"We are discussing the betrothal gift with our family. As an outsider, just keep quiet. No one thinks you are dumb."
"I really don't know what kind of drug you gave that old woman to make her pay 200 yuan for the bride price."
"You are asking for too much, and you don't even look at yourself to see if you are worth the price. If you want to extort money from our family, it depends on whether you have the ability to do it."
Zhou Qing was already feeling annoyed.
It is indeed necessary to be cautious when marrying into a family with three sons.
If you are not careful, someone new will come and steal your property.
Mr. and Mrs. Lu only have that little money in their pockets.
If we spend the 200 yuan as a betrothal gift, I guess there will be too little left for them later.
That's why the two of them were so nervous and ran over to eavesdrop.
He tried every possible way to get more money out of Lu's mother's pocket.
Zhou Qing looked quite scary as he cursed.
She vented her anger towards Jiang Xian, taking the opportunity to vent her dissatisfaction with Lu's mother's partiality.
Lu Bin frowned, stepped forward and stood in front of Jiang Xian.
He was afraid that Jiang Xian would be frightened by Zhou Qing’s loud voice.
Lu Bin frowned and said to Zhou Qing in a cold voice:
"Second sister-in-law, I advise you to speak with more respect."
"Jiang Xian is my daughter-in-law, she is not an outsider."
"As for the betrothal gift, it's all decided by our parents. We, as children, have no say in this."
Lu Bin is a very calm person, and what he says is actually more objective.
It is right to protect Jiang Xian, but everything he said is also true.
The younger generation has no right to interfere in the affairs of their elders.
As for the issue of the bride price, if it had happened in the past, Lu Bin would definitely have chosen to keep things quiet for the sake of family harmony, and he would have suffered the loss.
To put it bluntly, his two sisters-in-law recognized this point and thought that he would choose to give in on this matter, just like he did in the past.
But they were wrong. When it came to Jiang Xian, Lu Bin would not give in at all.
He can bear a little injustice.
But his wife can't.
The bride price is not just his business, it is the pre-marital property his family gives to Jiang Xian.
If he lowered his head, the one who would be hurt would be Jiang Xian.
Lu Bin chose not to get involved and wait and see. He would not take the initiative to ask for it, nor would he take the initiative to ask for a reduction, and he would not let Jiang Xian suffer any injustice because of this.
When Lu Bin was talking to Zhou Qing, he was actually quite kind, and he didn't treat Liu Ling the same way he did just now.
But Zhou Qing knew best what kind of person Lu Bin was.
After all, he had suffered a lot at the hands of Lu Bin before.
Naturally, she heard the threat in Lu Bin's words.
The atmosphere was tense. Jiang Xian was actually quite pleased with Lu Bin's behavior of rushing in front of her without saying a word.
This is a women's battlefield.
She could still handle this kind of small situation.
Jiang Xian tugged at Lu Bin's arm, signaling him to step back and leave everything to her.
Jiang Xian still remembered what Zhou Qing said just now.
Thinking of Zhou Qing saying that she was an outsider, Jiang Xian directly took out the marriage certificate that she and Lu Bin had just received from her pocket.
Throw it in front of everyone.
Several people were stunned, and Jiang Xian explained with a smile.
"My second sister-in-law said that I am an outsider and have no right to interfere in family affairs. Isn't this questioning my identity? I naturally have to prove it. Lu Bin and I are legal."
After finishing speaking, Jiang Xian raised his head and smiled, then looked at Zhou Qing:
"Second sister-in-law, the marriage certificate is here. You can't say I'm an outsider now, right?"
"Besides, this betrothal gift is for me, so I can naturally say a few words about it."
"Since the eldest and second sisters-in-law want to calculate whether it is reasonable to give me 200 yuan, let's have a good discussion today while everyone in the family is here."
"Didn't you tell me to treat all three daughters-in-law equally and not show partiality?"
"In that case, what we get must be the same, don't you think?"
Liu Ling and Zhou Qing didn't understand what kind of medicine Jiang Xian sold in his gourd.
I always feel that she has a lot of ulterior motives.
But since she had already asked them, they had no choice but to answer.
After hearing Jiang Xian’s last sentence, they should get the same amount.
The two thought it made sense.
Although privately, they all hope that their families can get more.
But no matter what, these words can only be kept in the heart and cannot be really said out loud.
So they all nodded and waited for Jiang Xian's next words.
When Jiang Xian saw the two of them nodding, she knew that they had fallen into her trap.
Mother Lu and Father Lu were also a little confused. They didn't know what Jiang Xian was thinking.
Just when they were at a loss, Jiang Xian spoke.
"If that's the case."
"Then I have to settle accounts with my sisters-in-law."
"Since all three daughters-in-law need to be given the same things, then I married in many years later than you."
"Then...during these years of absence, shouldn't you also give me something in return for what Mom gave you? That would be fair, right?"
