"What a coincidence, Aunt Qin."
Hearing Jiang Yue's words, Qin Xiang's mother was even happier.
"I heard your husband is a battalion commander? My son-in-law is a battalion commander now too," Qin Xiang's mother said with a hint of pride.
"My husband is currently the deputy regimental commander."
Jiang Yue doesn't usually show off, but she decided to do so today.
The smile on Qin Xiang's mother's face immediately froze.
Deputy regimental commander? That's even more powerful than a battalion commander?
The daughter said that Jiang Yue used to travel by car and was married to a battalion commander. Now, seeing how well she dresses and how many chickens she raises in the yard across the street, she is indeed living a very good life.
"Oh, I see. Congratulations!"
Although she had a smile on her face, the smile didn't reach her eyes.
"Aunt Qin, when are you planning to go back?"
Upon hearing Jiang Yue mention when she would return, Qin Xiang's mother coughed and said...
"I haven't decided yet. Since I've come all this way, I'll naturally stay a few more days."
Hearing Qin Xiang's mother's words, Jiang Yue deliberately said something.
"Qin Xiang is so filial, she must have given all her dowry money to you, right?"
She really knows how to rub salt in the wound. Why does Jiang Yue always seem to be hitting her sore spot?
"That's for sure. My daughter is so filial, why wouldn't she give us the betrothal gifts? Right, mother-in-law?"
When Qin Xiang's mother said this, she was also talking to Grandma Zhu.
Last night, Battalion Commander Zhu and Old Lady Zhu talked for a long time. When Old Lady Zhu heard that Qin Xiang's family was not the high-ranking official family she had imagined, she was extremely depressed.
But her son said that they couldn't let the news out now, otherwise her son's life here would be even more difficult.
So even though she was furious, she didn't argue with Qin Xiang's parents. However, she was incredibly sarcastic and unfriendly towards Qin Xiang and her family.
“My son said that the bride price and the three turns and one ring were all given to Qin Xiang. If you want the bride price, go ask Qin Xiang for it.”
Old Mrs. Zhu asked about the money, and her son said that the money was in Qin Xiang's hands, and now Qin Xiang was unwilling to give it back.
Then she'll let Qin Xiang and Qin Xiang's parents fight like dogs.
Hmph, she's eaten more salt than Qin Xiang has eaten rice. So what if Qin Xiang is a woman from the capital? She's useless to her son because her family can't help him.
"Really? Then I'll go find my daughter."
Seeing the appearance of the two in-laws, Jiang Yue laughed.
Qin Xiang won't be able to have a peaceful day these days.
Even if we don't give the full 500 yuan dowry, we have to give at least half. Otherwise, Qin Xiang's parents will definitely make a huge fuss, and both Qin Xiang and Battalion Commander Zhu are people who care a lot about their reputation. If things escalate further, both of their jobs will be in jeopardy.
Watching Qin Xiang's mother run home, Jiang Yue raised an eyebrow; it seemed there was going to be a good show.
Lin Ling and Zhou Qiao stood to the side, looking at the people not far away, and said.
"Why are the Qin and Zhu families making such a fuss?"
"Looks like there's more trouble ahead."
"Qin Xiang got married, and her parents didn't even know. Now they're coming to ask for a bride price. That's really outrageous."
Some of the women's wives felt envious when they thought about Qin Xiang's dowry of five hundred yuan.
"When I married my husband, the bride price was only fifty yuan. People in the capital are just different."
Seeing Jiang Yue looking at her, she quickly explained.
"Comrade Jiang, I wasn't talking about you."
Jiang Yue smiled, turned around and went into the house.
