When Ning Hong arrived at Da Hu's house, she heard that Da Hu's house was in a mess.
"Cao Dahu, I'm telling you, you'd better go and get your money back right now, do you hear me?"
Cao Dahu's wife, Jin Hua, had tears streaming down her face. "If you don't bring the money back, we're not going to live together anymore."
"Jinhua, don't say such things. I think Dahu is just confused for a moment. Talk to him nicely, and he will understand."
"What do you know? He just adores his brother. Why doesn't he go with him? And why does he want to get married?" Jin Hua sneered. "He lent out all the money without a word. It's probably all gone down the drain."
“Dahu, this is where you went wrong. How could you lend Jinhua’s money to Ning Hongze? Even his own brothers wouldn’t lend him money.”
Jin Hua's two brothers criticized Cao Da Hu one after another, their voices full of dissatisfaction.
The villagers' eyes also showed a hint of confusion.
"That's my money." Cao Dahu slammed his hand on the table.
"What do you mean your money? That's mine!"
"Yours? Jin Hua, put your hand on your heart and tell me, how many times have you worked in the fields, how many times have you sold things, how much was your dowry? They all saw it. You say it was your money, then tell me, how did you earn it?"
"Isn't that right? Jinhua, you are probably the happiest person in the whole village."
"I...you said you would take care of me back then, how come, it's only been a few years, and you're already going back on your word."
“I did promise to support you, but I didn’t promise to support your whole family,” Cao Dahu said with a wry smile. “Over the years, you’ve been unwilling to work, and as my wife, I can tolerate that. But I have to support your parents, brothers, and the whole family. That’s too much pressure.”
"You're not expected to support everything; you're just asked to help out a little."
"Yes, your older brother needed money to find a job, and you gave him that. Your younger brother needed a bride price to get married, and I gave that too. And now, your younger sister wants a dowry, and she's got her eye on me. Don't even think about those money. I've already given it to Hongze, and I won't go back on my word."
"My God, how could Jinhua do something like this?"
"No wonder her family is getting richer and richer; it turns out they're living off their husband's family."
"I wonder who the next unlucky one will be?"
"Don't talk nonsense."
Jin Hua instinctively retorted.
"Jin Hua, we all know what kind of conditions the Jin family has."
"I'm not? Consider those as money lent to my brother, and he will pay you back."
"How will you repay him? When will you repay him? You can't wait until my brother is old and gray before you repay him," Ning Hong said as she walked in through the front door.
He picked up where Jinhua left off.
Upon seeing Ning Hongze, Jin Hua, who had been arguing with the others, immediately screamed, "It's you! What are you doing here?"
It's because of Ning Hongze that their family is in such a state of quarrel.
She was truly unwilling to accept it.
She originally intended to keep this money for her family, but not all of it as her younger sister's dowry, since her family was too poor and needed money for the wedding banquet and other expenses.
Thinking of this, Jin Hua's voice softened slightly.
"Give me back my money, and I won't hold this against you."
"You're going to be bothered by what? What are you going to be bothered by?"
Ning Hong countered, "Are you planning to send these people to your family?"
These words caused another uproar among the crowd.
"Oh my, it's true, she's really supporting her family like that. I wonder what kind of person her sister is. If all girls are like this, sucking the blood of their husband's family to support their own, we should never marry a girl like that."
"Yeah, that's really too much."
How is that going too far?
Her parents raised her, and they're struggling financially. What's wrong with her helping them out a little?
"Can't daughters support their parents? This is a new society now, and women can hold up half the sky too!" Jin Hua roared.
"Of course you can, that's a great idea, but please remember to earn your own money for your family from now on. Also, I need to talk to your two sisters-in-law."
Ning Hong smiled faintly.
This woman is truly shameless.
To be able to say such things with such confidence.
If women are said to hold up half the sky, then why doesn't she go and earn money?
She spends her husband's money every day, yet she keeps saying that women can hold up half the sky.
"What did you say to my sister-in-law? You want to seduce her."
"No, I'll teach them to learn from you, so they can take things from their husband's family back to their parents' home."
"How can that be? She's already married into our family."
"Heh... So you've married into our family too." Cao Dahu couldn't help but retort.
"That's not necessarily true. My family isn't doing well."
Jin Hua waved her hand.
“Your second sister-in-law’s family is in even worse shape. Besides, your second sister-in-law only has one brother.”
"she·······"
"You still have two."
Having these two brothers is like not having them at all.
How can this woman be so hypocritical? Oh, she can empty her husband's family's pockets to give to her own family, but she won't allow her sister-in-law to do the same.
"Why are you saying all this? In the end, it's about paying back the money."
Jin Hua reached out her hand to Ning Hongze, but Ning Hongze refused to give it to her. "Da Hu, why are you keeping a woman like that around for the New Year?"
In the story, Cao Dahu was terribly harmed by this woman.
After squeezing every last bit of value out of Cao Dahu, the woman sold everything to the Cao family and took her family to town.
Of course, she didn't have a good ending either.
After all, she had spoiled her family too much; none of them wanted to go out to work and only knew how to spend money.
She goes to work every day to earn money to support them.
The money was never enough.
I increasingly regret my initial choice.
If only she had stayed with Cao Dahu back then.
"Young Master Ning, isn't it a bit much that you'd rather tear down a temple than break up a marriage?"
“How could that be? I think my brother is really unlucky to have a wife like that. If you ask me, he would be better off living alone.”
Ning Hong genuinely felt that way.
"You understand me best." Cao Dahu genuinely didn't want to continue like this.
He worked tirelessly every day to earn money to support his family, but he never saved any money at home. He couldn't even eat well, eating mixed grains and rice soup every day. He had heard that the Jin family ate white rice every meal.
Furthermore, the Jin family members rarely do any work.
He was exhausted, had nothing to eat, and was still complained about for not earning enough money to provide a good life for her family.
What gives him the right?
This time, Ning Hongze happened to come to borrow money, and without saying a word, he took the money from under Jin Hua's bedmate and gave it to him. Without even blinking an eye.
It's better to give it to your good brother than to give it to Jin Hua and then give it to her family.
Anyway, it won't be long before this money is gone again.
