Chapter 46 Old Madam Ma is so angry with Old Second Xiao
"Give me your passbook and I'll divide the money among you."
Sang Feiwan was silent for a moment.
It’s really annoying. As soon as I come back, I’m given rules and asked for money.
But she didn't panic. She lied to Mrs. Ma directly, saying, "This money is a fixed deposit and cannot be withdrawn within five years. I was afraid that I would spend money recklessly, so I put it in a fixed deposit."
Before she came back, she knew that Old Mrs. Ma would ask about the gold, so she brought the passbook back with her.
If she were to receive this money, she would not be able to continue receiving dividends and would have to live in poverty again.
Moreover, if the money is divided, it will easily encourage a culture of getting something for nothing, and people will easily learn bad habits. They are a family of villains to begin with, and they have no control over money.
Xiao Laosan had to go gambling again;
Xiao Lao Er could immediately take the money to marry Miss Hu and be cuckolded;
Pingping has such a soft personality and is still a girl who has not yet reached adulthood. If she is not robbed, she will be cheated;
Old Mrs. Ma is not a smart person. In real life, she is the kind of person who would be deceived into buying health products or joining WeChat business and spend all her money.
The fact that I was tricked into buying a fried chicken recipe by Uncle Jiang is proof of this.
"Ah? What should I do? My second brother is urging me to borrow money every day to give him the betrothal gift. He needs to give the betrothal gift to the girl from the Hu family and is anxious to get married."
"Your aunt is mad at our family because you asked for a betrothal gift. She spread the news all over our village, so the Hu family also asked for a betrothal gift of 3,000 yuan."
Sang Feiwan said to Old Madam Ma, "That's perfect, let's not let them get married."
"Mother-in-law, I heard that Miss Hu is the girlfriend of Jiang Tingyu's third brother. The second brother even got into a fight with someone over her a few days ago and asked me for a thousand yuan as compensation."
"What?! There is such a thing!" Old Mrs. Ma didn't know this before.
Naturally, Xiao Lao Er didn't dare let Old Lady Ma know about this.
Sang Feiwan nodded repeatedly, "Yeah! Xiao Beiming also knows about this. If you don't believe me, just ask him."
"Third brother Jiang Tingyu repeated his studies for three years and finally got into university. Miss Hu was afraid that he would no longer want her after moving to the city, so she talked to Second Brother Xiao and used him to piss him off."
In the original book, Miss Hu tried everything but still failed to get Jiang Tingyu's third brother to marry her.
In a fit of anger, she married Xiao Laoer.
Jiang Tingyu's third brother married the secretary's daughter. Several years later, when Miss Hu wanted to divorce Xiao Laoer, she told Xiao Laoer that the child was not his.
Xiao Lao Er is also really miserable.
He beat up Jiang Lao San for Miss Hu, and was hated by the Jiang family. As a result, Miss Hu's child was not his.
At this moment, Sang Feiwan and Old Madam Ma unexpectedly ran into Xiao Laoer.
Xiao Lao Er is taking Miss Hu shopping.
Xiao Laoer was worried that his elder brother was also nearby, so he hesitated to go over because of a feeling of sympathy.
It was Miss Hu who pulled him over.
"Mom, sister-in-law, you guys are here shopping too. Didn't sister-in-law just arrive today? Didn't big brother come back with you?"
Mrs. Ma replied, "Your eldest brother is going to do something for me and will come to see us later."
"Oh, my sister-in-law is so beautiful. The material of the clothes you are wearing is obviously very good. It must be cheap. She is not cold even though she is wearing so little. Could this be a down jacket?" Hu Xiaolan stared at the clothes on Sang Feiwan with envy.
She not only looked, but also touched it.
Sang Feiwan frowned and took a step back to distance himself from her.
Seeing this, Xiao Lao Er took the clothes from Madam Ma in order to cheer Hu Xiaolan up, and asked, "Mom, is this the new clothes you just bought?"
"You are too old to look like a little girl anymore. New clothes won't look good on you anymore. Give this dress to Xiaolan."
Xiao Laoer didn't dare to take the clothes that Sang Feiwan was wearing.
He knew how much his elder brother spoiled Sang Feiwan, and if he dared to ask for it, he would be beaten when he got home.
So I only dared to ask for Mrs. Ma’s.
Sang Feiwan snatched it back and said, "Who says new clothes don't look good when you're older? New clothes look good on people of all ages! New clothes always look good!"
"...Hey! That's what people say." Xiao Laoer said, looking at the clothes.
Sang Feiwan looked at him coldly, "People say Tsinghua and Peking University are good, why don't you go? People say a man should provide for his family, why don't you do that? If someone tells you to die, would you die?!"
These words left Xiao Lao Er speechless for a moment.
Sang Feiwan put the coat on Old Madam Ma and said, "It's cold here, and the elderly need to pay more attention to keeping warm. This fur coat is very warm."
"No matter how old you are, you need clothes and someone to love you. Especially you, mother-in-law. At your age, your parents are no longer alive, and your husband has passed away."
"You've lived such a hard life over the years, scrimping and saving to raise several children, yet you've never bought a single piece of new clothing. It's fine if you didn't have the money before, but now that you do, you absolutely must!"
It’s a waste to spend money on new clothes when you’re old, and that’s what Mrs. Ma used to think.
But now, hearing such words from his own son's mouth, I feel sad and uncomfortable.
But Sang Feiwan snatched the clothes away and said these words to her, and her heart was immediately warmed.
After Sang Feiwan helped Old Lady Ma put on her clothes, she took a look and was very satisfied.
"This one's the perfect size."
"Mother-in-law, you are dressed so beautifully. You look like an old lady with an air of nobility. If you go out to the village, everyone will think that your children are filial!"
Mrs. Ma was so coaxed that she couldn't stop laughing. "You, your little mouth is like honey, and you can say nice things."
"Excuse me, check out." Sang Feiwan looked at the clerk and said.
The clerk wrote out the receipt, "Okay, this dress is five hundred and twenty-eight yuan."
This price made Mrs. Ma gasp in shock.
"Five hundred and twenty-eight?! That's too expensive! No, no!"
The clerk replied, "This is the only real bear fur we have in our store. We have cheaper ones with rabbit fur over there."
"Buy it." Sang Feiwan took out money from her bag and gave it to her.
Hu Xiaolan, who was standing by, stared in amazement as she saw Sang Feiwan pull out a stack of hundred-dollar bills.
Actually, it wasn’t much. Sang Feiwan only brought back three thousand in cash this time.
Hu Xiaolan pulled Xiao Laoer and whispered, "Is your sister-in-law so rich?!"
"Isn't it said that although she is the daughter of a wealthy family, her parents immigrated and left her alone? Is she so poor that she sold herself for 3,000 yuan in betrothal gifts to marry your eldest brother?"
Xiao Lao Er retorted, "She has gold."
"What?!" Hu Xiaolan shouted in shock.
Then he quickly walked to Sang Feiwan's side and took her arm, "Sister-in-law, I'm your future sister-in-law. This is our first meeting, so you should give me a gift."
"I want a fur coat, too. I like that red fox fur one. Sister-in-law, please buy it and give it to me."
Sang Feiwan said indifferently, "No money."
Then she bought the fox fur coat herself, put it on, and left with Old Mrs. Ma.
"You! What do you mean by this! You are so mean to your own sister-in-law! You can't even bear to give her a piece of clothing!" Hu Xiaolan stomped her feet in anger.
Sang Feiwan ignored her and didn't even look at her.
She was busy talking to Old Madam Ma, "It's really warm, Grandma, are you still feeling cold?"
"It's not cold anymore."
Now, Hu Xiaolan watched them leave and became even angrier. "Xiao Beijiang, your mom, what did your mom mean by that?! She didn't help me talk to your sister-in-law, and she even joined your sister-in-law in angering me!"
"I'm telling you, you have to go home now and give me back the fur! Otherwise, we're both finished!"
"Also, your sister-in-law is now married into your family. She is a member of your family, and her money also belongs to your Xiao family. Go back and tell your mother to take out the gold and divide it equally among the three of you brothers!"
"If I marry you, we'll separate immediately, and you can take the money and come to town to buy a house for your marriage."
Hu Xiaolan's request was enough to put Xiao Laoer in a difficult position.
But she brought up four at once.
Whether it was buying furs, dividing gold, dividing the family property, or buying a wedding house, he felt he couldn't do it.
If he opens his mouth, his elder brother will beat him to a pulp.
But he couldn't bear to leave Hu Xiaolan.
He has liked Hu Xiaolan since he was in elementary school and dreamed of marrying her.
As for Sang Feiwan, after buying clothes with Old Lady Ma, she went to the restaurant to wait for Xiao Beiming.
While eating at the restaurant, Mrs. Ma kept muttering that she was stingy with the money.
She can also cook these dishes, and they taste even better than this.
Old Mrs. Ma was very unhappy with the meal, but she was reluctant to waste it, so she packed up the remaining dishes and took them home.
When she returned home in the evening, Sang Feiwan felt that the house seemed emptier than when she left.
The curtains on her bedroom windows were gone.
"Mother-in-law, something is missing from my room. Why are the curtains gone?"
Old Madam Ma clapped her hands, "You're screwed, Second Brother! I bought those new curtains especially for your wedding with First Brother!"
"Where is the TV that I asked the second brother to bring back?" Sang Feiwan asked again.
"A TV?! You idiot! I never even heard you asked him to bring a TV back. No wonder the Hu family became the first family in their village to have a TV!"
Sang Feiwan frowned and asked, "So, during this period of time, you always went to the post office to sign for the fifty yuan we sent home every month, right?"
"What fifty?! I only saw thirty!" Old Mrs. Ma was even more furious.
Xiao Laoer works in town. Every time Xiao Beiming sends money back, he is the first to know about it and he takes some home with him.
Is her second son the reincarnation of a mole? !
Her house has almost been emptied out by her second son and given to someone else!
Sang Feiwan sighed, looking distressed for Old Madam Ma. "Mother-in-law, if my second brother was chasing someone and spending his own money, I wouldn't say anything, but how could he take the things and money that Xiao Beiming and I gave to you as a gift?"
"It's like this before we even get married, what will happen in the future?"
