Chapter 23: Even ten mouths can’t explain
"In that case, I don't mind giving less betrothal gifts." "It's not just Lu Bin's parents. Both of your families have the obligation to provide for them as well."
As soon as Jiang Xian finished speaking, Liu Ling shut up instantly.
She is not a fool, so she naturally knows which one is lighter and which one is heavier.
The betrothal gift was only two hundred yuan, but if she agreed to Jiang Xian's words, she would have to spend more than that in the future.
Who knows how long these two old guys will have to take medicine in the future?
She would never do such a disadvantageous thing.
The room fell into silence for a long time.
Mother Lu and Father Lu looked at each other, and saw shock in each other's eyes.
Looking at the eldest and second daughters-in-law who were so deflated, the corners of their mouths twitched.
I didn’t expect that this little girl Jiang Xian is so capable.
He is such a good talker that he left those two guys speechless.
Mother Lu was relieved. Before this, the old couple were quite worried.
They felt that Jiang Xian, a little girl who married into their family, would be bullied by their two daughters-in-law.
Now it seems that we don’t know who will suffer the loss.
This is a good thing. These two guys have been running rampant at home for too long. Finally, someone has come who can discipline them.
It makes me feel refreshed just thinking about it!
Jiang Xian saw that Liu Ling and Zhou Qing were both standing there without saying a word, pretending to be stupid.
She sneered in her heart. She originally thought that her two sisters-in-law were very powerful.
After a few rounds, she found that it was just like that.
How boring.
Jiang Xian glanced at the sky outside and found that it was already late. She didn't have the patience to continue wasting time with Liu Ling, so she simply spoke again and took a drastic measure:
"What do the elder and second sisters-in-law think?"
"I'll give you some time to think, but my patience is limited. Is five minutes enough?"
"If you think this is difficult to handle, it's not dark yet. I'll go get the village chief."
"Let him come and discuss with us the retirement issues of the two elderly people in the family. What do you think?"
Now, after hearing Jiang Xian say that he wanted to find the village chief, Liu Ling and Zhou Qing panicked instantly.
You have to know that these days, the village chief also has a certain authority in the village.
If the village chief got involved in this matter, it would be very ugly.
After all, they are not in the right, so just ask the sons who don't care about the elderly.
If you tell others about it, you will be laughed at.
What if the matter gets out of hand and half the village knows about it, won’t they be laughed at to death?
Zhou Qing was very angry. He felt that he had not gained any advantage from this trip and even almost suffered a great loss.
She was angry, but she couldn't take it out on Jiang Xian, so she turned around and glared at Liu Ling.
It's all her fault!
If it weren't for her, how could I have been so stupid as to come here and cause trouble.
If you have that much time, you might as well just lie down on your warm bed at home for a while.
Zhou Qing actually has a pretty strange temper.
Seeing things develop to this point at this point, I am too lazy to waste time here any longer.
She turned around and strode out of the room, leaving Liu Ling alone, feeling awkward.
As soon as Zhou Qing left, she clearly made her attitude clear.
As for Liu Ling, she originally felt quite justified in bringing Zhou Qing here to cause trouble.
But at this moment, with Zhou Qing gone, she seemed too lonely to face four people alone.
Now there were four pairs of eyes in the room, staring at her, and she suddenly felt sweat pouring down her back.
Jiang Xian was still waiting for her reply.
Liu Ling touched her forehead and thought that she had really hit a wall this time.
There is no position in the first place.
Before Zhou Qing left, he glared at her.
Liu Ling felt aggrieved when she thought about it.
Jiang Xian had already lost her patience. Seeing Liu Ling's expression, she couldn't help but urge her:
"Second sister-in-law has given up."
"Now that sister-in-law is the only one left, what do you think?"
"Do you still need me to invite the village chief over?"
Liu Ling came back to her senses from her daze.
After hearing what Jiang Xian said, she immediately spoke:
"No, no, please don't ask the village chief to come over. He has a lot of things to do and is very busy. He is so old, please don't bother him anymore."
"I have no opinion on the betrothal gift."
"What I just said to your second sister-in-law was just a joke to you."
"Lu Bin, you have worked hard for our family over the years. It is only right that your parents give you more betrothal gifts."
"I suddenly remembered that I have something to do at home, so I won't disturb you and talk about things here."
After Liu Ling said this, she turned around and ran away.
If you don’t know, you might think there is some terrible monster behind her.
She ran so fast. At the beginning, she kicked the door so majestically, but now she looks so listless.
When Jiang Xian saw her fleeing back, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.
After she finished laughing, she turned around and found that several people in the room were looking at her.
Jiang Xian immediately felt a little embarrassed.
She subconsciously glanced at Lu Bin, only to see the man looking at her with a smile on his face.
Jiang Xian's face immediately turned red.
It's quite embarrassing.
She was completely immersed in the battle between the sisters-in-law.
Now when I think about what I just said, it was really... fatal.
Some of the words were said just to criticize Zhou Qing and Liu Ling, without any thought at all.
What if Mother Lu and Father Lu misunderstood after hearing this?
That would be a huge misunderstanding.
Even if she has ten mouths in the future, she won’t be able to explain it clearly.
Jiang Xian thought about it and decided that it would be better to face it as soon as possible and admit his mistake. This would be better than anything else.
Jiang Xian immediately spoke:
"Uncle and aunt, please listen to my explanation."
Mother Lu immediately held her hand and looked at her with a smile on her face:
"You don't have to say anything, kid. We all understand."
Jiang Xian was dumbfounded. He didn't expect Lu's mother to react like this.
Jiang Xian wasn't sure which aspect Mother Lu understood.
She felt that she really needed to explain further:
"I said those things not because I think you are a burden because you are sick."
"It's true because the two sisters-in-law are too unreasonable."
"I said those words to dissuade them and scare them away."
Obviously Jiang Xian's method is very effective.
Not only did Liu Ling and Zhou Qing not gain any advantage, they even almost suffered a great loss.
