Chapter 18 The three of us are amazing! Dowry

He Sufen, who was lying on the ground, saw that her attempts to scare Qin Xiao and his men were really going to her house. She quickly got up from the ground and rushed towards the crowd, shouting angrily.

"Stop right there, you little bastard! You're not allowed to go."

She stretched out her hands to try to stop the huge crowd, but she almost fell to the ground in the pushing and shoving. She had no choice but to fall behind the crowd and walk towards her home.

Jiang Hu followed behind fiercely, holding his dislocated wrist, staring at Qin Xiao with resentful eyes.

A group of people gathered in a mighty manner and arrived at the gate of Jiang's courtyard, where they suddenly stopped.

Facing the closed courtyard gate, Qin Xiao raised his long legs and kicked hard without saying a word.

Bang!

The gate was broken in the middle and was shaking and creaking.

Qin Xiao strode into the yard, and Jiang Tang followed behind him, holding Qin Chuyang.

A group of onlookers stopped at the gate of the courtyard and looked inside through the open door.

Jiang Yongzong, who was sitting on a low stool under the eaves smoking a water pipe, was startled by the sound of the door latch breaking. He even forgot to smoke the water pipe in his hand. When he saw Qin Xiao walk in with a cold face, he was stunned for a moment, put down the pipe, stood up and walked to Qin Xiao.

"Qin Xiao, what are you doing?"

His dark, rough old face was filled with blame, and he acted like an elder.

Jiang Tang quietly poked her head out from behind Qin Xiao and looked at the middle-aged man standing in front of them.

Jiang Yongzong is in his forties, with deep wrinkles on his face, dark skin, and a mouthful of yellow teeth that are damaged by smoking. He looks disgusting and nauseating, and his face has the look of an elder admonishing a younger person.

She quietly rolled her eyes and shrank back behind Qin Xiao.

He Sufen and Jiang Hu rushed in from the crowd outside the door, stood beside Jiang Yongzong, and shouted at him with squinting eyes and slanted mouths, "Boss, that ungrateful Jiang Tang instigated Qin Xiao to come to our house to cause trouble, you should take care of him immediately!"

Jiang Yong glared at her sideways.

He Sufen, who was throwing tsses and rolling around just now, didn't dare to say a word.

Qin Xiao ignored the Jiang family's prank and turned to look at the little woman hiding behind him.

"Where's the room? Go get your stuff."

Jiang Tang walked out from behind the man, pointed at the side room with her delicate jade fingers, and whispered to Qin Xiao, "Then... I'll go get the things first."

Qin Xiao nodded, and seeing that the little girl didn't move, he frowned and asked, "Are you scared?"

Jiang Tang swallowed quietly. The three people opposite her were staring at her with malicious eyes, which made her feel uneasy and she nodded her head obediently.

Qin Xiao also noticed the Jiang family's gazes. He took a step forward, completely blocked Jiang Tang with his broad body, and led his people over personally.

They walked to the house where Jiang Tang had lived for several months. This house was originally a storage room, used to store grains, farm tools, and other household items. After the original owner came back, the Jiang family put a wooden bed in it for the original owner to live in.

After Jiang Tang married into the Qin family, she put a new lock on the door.

In front of dozens of people at the door, Jiang Yongzong was completely ignored by the young couple. He lost all his dignity as an elder and his dark face was filled with embarrassment.

He could only speak in a deep voice, "Qin Xiao, do you have any manners left? Who taught you to ignore your elders like this?"

He turned and stared at Jiang Tang, with the manner of a father teaching his daughter, "And you, what's wrong with you? You've been spoiled in the Zhou family for so many years. You've brought shame to our Jiang family and made a laughing stock of our neighbors."

Jiang Tang grabbed Qin Xiao's clothes and became more and more bold. She said to the Jiang family in a clear voice, "The Jiang family's etiquette is to take someone else's things and not return them, and then teach them a lesson? I have never seen such etiquette before."

After saying this, he huddled beside Qin Xiao, looking like a fox taking advantage of the power of the tiger.

Seeing this embarrassed and unconvinced look, Qin Xiao's dark eyes lit up with a smile. He glanced at the corner of his clothes that was pulled out of shape, but didn't say anything.

He turned and stared at the Jiang family, saying nothing more, "Key."

Old Man Jiang was humiliated in front of so many people. His face turned red and he remained silent with a cold expression.

He Sufen was even more unwilling, and asking her to take out the key was simply nonsense.

Looking at the look on this family's face, they seem unwilling to cooperate.

Qin Xiao sneered, reached out and pushed Jiang Tang away to make sure she wouldn't be affected.

Then he kicked the closed door hard, and with a "bang", he kicked the door open.

The Jiang family yard, which seemed bustling at first, suddenly became quiet. Time seemed to have stopped, with only the creaking sound of the broken door.

No one expected Qin Xiao to be so ruthless! The Jiang family is Jiang Tang's family after all, but he didn't even give them the slightest bit of face.

For a moment, no one dared to say a word and the air seemed to be stagnant.

The Jiang family members were so frightened by his direct kick that they stood there in a daze.

Qin Xiao tilted his head to look at the little woman with watery eyes next to him, raised his chin towards the house, and said, "Pack your things."

Jiang Tang reacted, nodded his head vigorously, and ran into the room happily.

As soon as she entered the house, she was frightened by the dust and dirt everywhere. The house had become a storage room again. She looked around carefully and confirmed that all the original owner's things were gone!

He took a deep breath and shouted to the outside of the door. Someone leaned forward and said in a more coquettish tone, "Qin Xiao, all my things are gone."

She trotted to the door, grabbed the corner of the man's clothes, and pointed at the messy room. "Look, there's nothing."

She didn't dare to confront the Jiang family herself and could only complain to her allies in a low voice.

Qin Xiao noticed the scene in the room, turned his head to look at the silent Jiang family members, snorted coldly, and did not ask their opinions.

Instead, he lowered his head and looked at Jiang Tang seriously, saying casually, "It's okay. If it's not in this room, just look in other rooms, and you'll find it eventually."

The Jiang family members stared at Qin Xiao in disbelief, without realizing what he was going to do.

Afterwards, dozens of people in the yard saw Qin Xiao and his wife kicking open the closed doors of the Jiang family's rooms one by one, searching for his wife's things in each room.

The only sound in the whole yard was the "bang bang bang" of Qin Xiao kicking the door, which directly shook everyone's heart. Qin Xiao's face was terribly cold, but he looked neither hurried nor slow, and calm and composed. Dozens of people didn't dare to stop him. They just stared at the couple kicking the door to look for something.

It was not until Jiang Tang entered Jiang Cui's room and saw his things that he looked at Qin Xiao with a smile and said happily, "I found it."

Staring at the little girl's bright smiling face, Qin Xiao nodded expressionlessly.

Jiang Tang rubbed his hands and started packing his things.

He Sufen stared at Jiang Tang taking her daughter's things and couldn't stand it. She screamed and tried to stop Jiang Tang, "Oh my, you little bastard is robbing me! You have no shame!"

She rushed forward like crazy, trying to run into the house to grab Jiang Tang.

Qin Xiao flattened the corners of his lips, rubbed his feet against the ground, kicked up the stone, and kicked it hard.

It shot directly at He Sufen's knees. She lost her strength and fell to the ground with a sharp scream.

Jiang Hu, who was about to step forward, froze in an instant when he saw that his own mother was treated so mercilessly by Qin Xiao, and dared not move rashly.

Everyone just stared at the slender figure busying around in the room. It was not until Jiang Tang packed up her belongings that she looked up at Qin Xiao, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, "I've looked everywhere, but there's still a pair of small leather shoes and two dresses that I haven't found."

Qin Xiao nodded, then calmly walked to the stone bench in the yard, sat down with a broad knife and axe, stared at Father Jiang with a cold face, "My wife's things have been packed up, now we can talk about the issue of the bride price."

Jiang Tang put the package on the stone table and looked around. There were four seats. She pouted and asked Qin Chuyang to sit on the other side of Qin Xiao, and she sat down too.

The uncle and his wife stood next to Qin Xiao, staring at the Jiang family with a fierce look, as if the three of them were really powerful.

There were four seats, and the family occupied three of them with peace of mind.

With a teammate like Qin Xiao who has extremely high fighting power, Jiang Tang held his chin and admired the pale and blue faces of the Jiang family members.

Old Man Jiang had completely lost face, but Qin Xiao was still a reckless person and brought up the issue of the bride price in front of so many people.

His chest rose and fell violently, and he was very angry. He said in a cold voice, "Qin Xiao, you are marrying my Jiang family's daughter. How can you ask for the betrothal gift back after marrying a daughter-in-law?"

He was totally embarrassed. He would never let that wolf cub Qin Xiao take the betrothal gift back. Old Man Jiang took a deep breath repeatedly. He was very angry with Qin Xiao and his wife.

The curve of Qin Xiao's lips was sharp and cold. "Does the Jiang family not bring dowry when marrying off their daughters?"

"You don't have to take back the betrothal gift, but I'll consider how much dowry the Jiang family is going to give."

Qin Xiao blurted out everything about the Jiang family's dowry in front of everyone.

Suddenly, there was a commotion in the crowd.

"Did the Jiang family really not bring any dowry? You must be kidding. I saw a big red lacquered wooden cabinet was carried that day. There must be a lot of things in it."

"I've seen it, too. I think the Jiang family has done their best. The eldest daughter has only been back for a few months. Although she is their biological daughter, they don't have a deep relationship with her. They've already done a good job of giving her so many things as a dowry for Jiang Tang."

"Is this bastard Qin Xiao lying?"

Wang Qilei and Zhang Hetian were in the crowd. When they heard this group of people slandering their brother Xiao, they were furious. Wang Qilei strode out of the crowd and shouted at them, "Who the hell said that the Jiang family took the dowry? Who said that our brother Xiao was a liar!"

He stood with his hands on his waist and shouted so loudly that the whole village could hear his indignant voice, "The Jiang family is shameless! They brought over such a large red-painted wooden cabinet, but it was empty. There was nothing in it! This is a marriage fraud, and they are defrauding my brother Xiao of his betrothal gift!"

When he saw the empty cabinet that night, he was almost furious and wanted to settle the score with the Jiang family, but was stopped by his brother Xiao. Today he finally had the chance to expose the evil deeds of this family in public.

Wang Qilei's action made everyone stare at Old Man Jiang in suspicion. It was a new society now, and no one would fail to prepare dowries for their daughters. Otherwise, they would be criticized for their whole lives and live with the reputation of selling their daughters.

Not to mention preparing all the furniture, if you don't have money, at least you can prepare a few beds and quilts and a hot pot. It is impossible to sell the daughter of a noble family without any obvious dowry.

The Jiang family prepared such a large red lacquered wooden cabinet, and the villagers thought that their family was respectable enough. But it turned out to be a trick and they didn't even give any dowry.

He stared at the things Jiang Tang had packed and couldn't help but slander him in his heart. Not only did he not prepare a dowry, he even deducted the things of the girl he just adopted. He really had no shame at all.

Someone, who was eager to see the excitement, asked Jiang Yongzong, "Uncle Jiang, your family really hasn't prepared a dowry for your daughter?"

As soon as these words were spoken, laughter broke out in the crowd.

The Jiang family really made a joke.

All he could hear were the laughter of the people around him. Jiang Yongzong's face was blue and white, and he was blushing and unable to speak.

He Sufen twisted her face and covered her knees, pretending to be dead.

The Jiang family has completely lost face today.

Jiang Tang held his chin with his hand, tilted his head and looked at Father Jiang who was about to die of anger, blinked and said, "Actually, you don't have to give me a dowry."

As soon as she said this, Jiang Yongzong smiled at her and said, "Tangtang is sensible. We are all family, why should we be so clear about the differences? You still have to go back to the Jiang family in the future."

He forced a smile that looked like that of his beloved daughter, as if he was not the one who had just said that Jiang Tangjiao was embarrassing.

Hearing Jiang Tang's words, Wang Qile became a little anxious. He looked at his brother Xiao with a depressed look, staring at his brother Xiao with an indulging look as if he could do whatever he wanted to her, and almost ran up to wake him up.

A thousand yuan betrothal gift!

Really don't want any dowry, is Brother Xiao crazy, allowing his wife to talk nonsense!

But he was so anxious.

When others heard Jiang Tang say this, they could only look at Qin Xiao with pity. It was too pitiful for Qin Xiao to be such a daughter-in-law who turned her elbow towards her mother's family.

Qin Xiao had a blank expression on his face, as if he didn't think what his wife said was anything outrageous.

The expressions on everyone's faces were so beautiful.

Jiang Tang tapped the package on the table with his fingertips, smiling, "Cuicui has also found a partner. If my family doesn't prepare a dowry for her, I'm fine with that."

As soon as she said this, Jiang Yongzong's smile froze on his face.

Cuicui's boyfriend is from the city, so how could he not prepare a dowry for Cuicui to save face and prevent the Jiang family from being looked down upon by the in-laws from the city?

Moreover, if Cuicui married into the city and enjoyed happiness, she would be able to help his son and find a job through connections in the city. Jiang Tang could only marry Qin Xiao, who had no job now, so how could she compare.

Old Man Jiang's ugly face obviously caused a lot of jokes.

Qin Xiao lowered his eyes and stared at the little girl next to him with an understanding and well-behaved look, a smile in his eyes.

He looked up at Jiang Yongzong, the smile in his eyes completely disappeared, and his eyes were filled with a piercing coldness, "Uncle Jiang, how is it?"

Jiang Yongzong's face was extremely stiff, and for a moment he didn't know whether Qin Xiao was asking him to provide a dowry or not.

He had no feelings for his daughter Jiang Tang, so he certainly didn't want to give her any dowry, nor was he willing to return the betrothal gift.

But they worked hard to raise Cuicui, and when she married a city man in the future, there was absolutely no way he would not give her a dowry.

The corners of his lips twitched and he was choked and couldn't utter a word.

Qin Xiao lost his patience, rubbed his brother's head with his big hands, and twitched the corners of his lips, "Chuyang, protect her well later."

Qin Chuyang knew who she was referring to. His short legs swayed, and his face was full of determination. "I know, Guoguo."

Qin Xiao stood up and looked down at Jiang Tang. "Stay away for a while, don't get hurt by the debris."

He raised his chin towards Jiang Tang, looking like he was going to do something big.

Jiang Tang suddenly had an idea. She seemed to know why the man asked her to pack her things first. She immediately took the package, held the little boy's hand and ran away.

Qin Xiao raised his hand and waved. Wang Qilei and Zhang Hetian understood and walked straight to his side.

He smiled at Jiang Yongzong and said, "Uncle Jiang, you are in such a dilemma. I will make the decision for you first. You can take your time to think about it."

He glanced at the woman and his brother and saw that they were far enough away. He grinned, ignoring Jiang Yongzong's extremely ugly expression. With a cold light in his eyes, he said to Wang Qilei and Zhang Hetian in a deep voice, "Smash them all!"
