"Xiao Yi, you dare to hit my daughter, I will fight you."
Liu's mother, who had been hiding in the room, rushed out and approached Xiao Yi, starting to punch and kick him.
When Liu Jiang saw his mother doing it, he followed suit.
"You dare to hit my sister, just wait and see how I deal with you." He rolled up his sleeves and punched Xiao Yi directly in the face. Xiao Yi did not fight back, knowing that he was in the wrong.
But the Xiao brothers couldn't bear to watch Xiao Yi get beaten, so they stepped forward to stop the fight.
After being slapped, Liu felt like the mute button was pressed and she just stood there crying stupidly.
By the time she reacted, someone bumped into her in the chaos. She staggered and almost fell, but it was Xiao's mother who threw away the broom and supported her.
Perhaps Xiao's mother and Jiang Sui didn't understand why the Liu family knew about this matter? Could it be that they saw it in the county that day?
But even if they saw it, they shouldn't know it so clearly. It's impossible for Jishantang to be so easy to find out about things. Would they tell everything once others ask?
However, the most urgent task is to stabilize the situation first. Otherwise, in broad daylight, although the Xiao family's house is remote and there are not many people walking in front of the yard on weekdays, what if they are still laughed at by others?
then……
"Enough, stop it!" After Xiao's father roared, everyone in the yard quieted down and looked at him.
I saw Xiao's father standing under the eaves with a dark face and his hands behind his back.
The eldest and the second oldest pulled Liu Jiang away, but the third oldest was still standing there, with a bruise on his cheekbone from a punch.
Liu's mother was tired from beating her daughter, and she ran over breathlessly to support her daughter and pushed Xiao's mother away.
Mother Xiao was too lazy to argue with her, but there were some things she had to make clear:
"You just said that I took Jiang Sui to the county town yesterday. It's true. We did go there to sell Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng. Since you all know about it, there's no need for me to hide it.
But I have to make it clear that there is no such thing as partiality, because the money from selling Ganoderma Lucidum Ginseng has nothing to do with us except Jiang Sui. She found and picked the Ganoderma Lucidum Ginseng, and Lan Lan and He Chuan can testify to this. If it weren't for her, we wouldn't even know what Ganoderma Lucidum Ginseng is. I just accompanied her to the county town. Since she picked it, the money is hers, and no one has the right to ask about it, let alone you who didn't contribute at all, do you want to have a share of it?"
At this point, Zhou, who had been silent in the corner, also raised her head, first looking at Xiao's mother, and then at Jiang Sui.
Jiang Sui felt her gaze and met her eyes. Zhou just looked at her, pursed her lips, and then lowered her head. It was hard to tell what emotion was in her eyes, but there was no greed in them.
On the contrary, Liu was not convinced after hearing this and retorted:
"Mom, what you said is not right. Don't you always like to say that we are from the same family and don't have different opinions?
Since Jiang Sui is already the daughter-in-law of the Xiao family, she and we are a family. Since we are a family, why should we hide the money we earn? Let's spend it together. On weekdays, the three brothers take care of the fourth brother. Even if he has no merit, he has worked hard. What's wrong with helping his brothers?"
She was right and confident, but then again, if it were her, she probably wouldn't even tell Xiao's mother, let alone help her brother.
It's just that I'm jealous when it comes to interests.
Jiang Sui also understood that his third sister-in-law Liu was a typical egoist. She was selfish and would always take advantage of any benefit, but it was absolutely impossible for her to make voluntary contributions. If there were any difficulties at home, she would be the first to distance herself from them.
She also said that the money could be spent wherever the family needed it, but now she just didn't want to let the Liu family get it for free.
"It's so easy for you to say it. Before you say it, don't you ask yourself, if you were given this money, would you think of sharing it with everyone? If you can't do it yourself, why ask others to do it?" Xiao Lanlan could no longer bear it, so she had to say something fair.
After hearing this, Liu felt a little guilty, because if it were her, she would definitely not take it out. Why not keep the money for herself?
But the problem is that her parents' family needs money now, so she has to help them get it.
"My mother just wants to ask you to lend some money to help my brother get married. It's not like she won't pay it back. Why are you so stingy? And why are you hiding it?" Liu was still very confident.
But everyone who has borrowed money knows that the one who lends the money is the grandson, and the one who pays it back is the uncle, especially in this kind of in-law relationship, if the money is borrowed, it will be difficult to get it back.
Because it's difficult for you to speak up, and even if you do, he may not necessarily respond.
"That's right. It's not like we don't want to pay it back, Mrs. Hechuan. I think you are a well-behaved and sensible girl. You must understand my difficulties. As long as you are willing to lend me money, we will definitely pay you back, okay?" Liu's mother took the opportunity to look at Jiang Sui for a long time. Seeing that she was so young and silent, she should be easy to control.
Anyway, the money has been borrowed, and it is not her who has the final say on when to repay it. Her daughter is now pregnant with the Xiao family's child.
When Xiao's mother saw this, she thought, oh no, the blame is now directed at Suisui, how will she solve it?
Just as I was thinking about speaking up for her, I saw Jiang Sui start to laugh and say:
"Of course I am willing to lend you this money."
When these words were spoken, not only Liu Jiang laughed, feeling that his conspiracy had succeeded, but Liu's mother couldn't help laughing as well.
She immediately let go of her daughter and walked towards Jiang Sui with a flattering look on her face:
"I knew you were a good kid, sensible."
Jiang Sui smiled sweetly, with two deep dimples, but Xiao Lanlan beside her became very anxious and pulled her sleeve to stop her:
"No, Fourth Sister-in-law, if you lend me this money, it would be like throwing meat buns at a dog!"
"Hey, girl, you really don't need to be taught. Who do you say is a dog? You are a grown-up girl, why don't you stay in your room? Why do you come out to join in the fun?" When Liu's mother heard Xiao Lanlan say this, she was afraid that she would ruin her good thing.
Jiang Sui understood, but she knew her limits, so she patted Xiao Lanlan's hand to comfort her.
When Xiao Lanlan saw Jiang Sui giving her a reassuring look, the worry in her heart, although still there, was alleviated a little.
Jiang Sui continued:
"Aunt Liu, how much money do you want to borrow?"
When Liu's mother heard this, she stretched out her hands and counted, and finally said:
"I calculated that the betrothal gift plus the red cloth, plus the money for making the boxes and cabinets, and the money for the wedding banquet, ten taels of silver would be enough."
Ten taels?
She really asked for too much, why didn't she ask for it? Was she marrying a daughter-in-law or did she want the Xiao family to help her find a daughter-in-law?
If you can't spend all the ten taels, there will be some left, and you can live a comfortable life then. What a good calculation!
