She lowered her voice and said through gritted teeth,
"Mom, do you know what kind of life I've been living in the Wang family?"
That old woman torments me every day, and Zhiguo doesn't protect me at all.
The two coins I have on me are just in case.
Yesterday, that old woman bossed her around like crazy, but Wang Zhiguo didn't dare utter a single word.
That night, to appease her, he gave her some money, which was all his savings from over the years.
This was the only thing that gave her some comfort.
So she currently holds a considerable amount of money in her hands.
"Jiaojiao, what could possibly happen?"
Don't scare your mom!
Once a woman gets married, it's for life; she shouldn't wait until absolutely necessary...
Why!
She sighed. She was the one who had no choice but to remarry after her first husband died, bringing her daughter with her.
But this second marriage...
Everything was fine a few years ago, I don't know why it has turned out like this this year?
I guess I've offended Tai Sui!
Seeing that the topic has drifted off course, isn't the point of talking about money now?
So Wang Lanhua tried hard to steer the conversation back on track, "Jiaojiao, why don't you pay for this?"
"Or I reckon your dad'll ask Zhiguo for help soon!"
"How can he be so shameless?" Su Jiaojiao was so angry that she stood up from her chair.
Wang Lanhua felt a little embarrassed, but she still said a few good words for Su Jianguo.
"He had no choice!"
The carpenter came by yesterday, and he wasn't very nice. Your dad didn't sleep a wink last night.
"How many?"
Su Jiaojiao knew that she probably couldn't avoid this today.
Putting everything else aside, she still needs the Su family to cover for her.
She had previously cultivated an image of herself as a hardworking, kind, and pitiful person.
She would never allow anyone to undermine her.
Wang Lanhua's face lit up with joy. After all that talk, she finally relented and said, "Eighty."
"So many? Mom, you're not kidding me, are you?"
Wang Lanhua was somewhat hurt. She might be a bit harsh on others, but she was unconditionally good to her own daughter.
"Jiaojiao, when has Mom ever wronged you?"
Carpentry work is paid by the day, ten yuan a day.
Were you still at home then?
How many days did he work?
You should know what I'm saying. Think about it carefully and see if I'm right.
"Never mind!" Su Jiaojiao really couldn't remember.
I never imagined that this money would end up in her hands!
So if it's something unimportant, why does she care so much?
She took out some money from her pocket, counted out eighty yuan, and handed it to her.
"Take it to him! Tell him not to let it slip!"
Wang Lanhua held the money but didn't move for a long time. "Jiaojiao, can you give Mom some money? So I can keep it as my own savings?"
Su Jiaojiao refused outright; she knew her mother well.
If that money were in her possession, it probably wouldn't be long before Wang Fugui coaxed it away with a few kind words.
She's not a sucker, and she doesn't have the inclination to support others.
"You stay at home all day and never go out, what do you need money for?"
Besides, if you really need to buy something, just ask Su Jianguo. He's a grown man; he should be supporting his wife and children.
Seeing that she really had no intention of paying, Wang Lanhua had no choice but to give up.
After the money was given to Su Jianguo, his expression softened, and he became even more enthusiastic towards his new son-in-law.
It's market day again.
As the group was busy working, they spotted a familiar figure standing in front of the stall.
"Er Ya, I'm getting married in a few days. Come back for the wedding!"
After speaking, the man glanced at Peach with a hint of contempt and disdain in his eyes.
Wang Erya glanced at Taozi subconsciously, and seeing that she looked calm and didn't seem to have any extreme emotions, she felt somewhat relieved.
"Oh, I see."
"But I won't go. I have a ton of things to do, and I'm really too busy."
Wang Tiezhu was a little annoyed, "You brat, are you itching for a beating again?"
Don't push your luck!
"No matter what, we're still your family. Are you really not planning to have any contact with us anymore?"
"Moving around?"
What's so good about hanging out with you?
Our family still hasn't paid off our debts.
"And you, on the other hand, turned around and took the money, happily going off to marry a new wife. Wang Tiezhu, you're really something!"
She's not stupid; the money the Yang family borrowed is now falling on her shoulders.
Can't you see that all the three of them are thinking about is making money right now?
When this matter was brought up, Wang Tiezhu seemed somewhat unsure of himself.
"I'm already so old, isn't it only right that I get married?"
Besides, what family doesn't give a bride price when they get married?
The Yang family is drowning in debt; that's because they're incompetent.
Wang Tiezhu felt guilty for only a moment, and quickly regained his composure.
He showed absolutely no remorse and spoke with such self-righteousness.
"If you're so capable, why don't you earn it yourself!"
Using your sister's dowry to get yourself a wife doesn't show you any ability.
Wang Erya has been doing business for a while now, and her tongue has become quite eloquent.
Su Nianxue secretly gave her a thumbs up. "Wow, you've got a smooth tongue!"
The stall owners in the market who were on good terms with them all looked at Wang Tiezhu with disdain.
What kind of people are these?!
These days, the food is so good that some people are getting increasingly shameless.
A barrage of mocking and disdainful gazes fell directly upon him.
