Chapter 272 Who said this is hers!
Song Yuntang looked at him and smiled, then with a cold expression he grabbed Zhao Xiaolan's hand that was about to retract and pulled off the beauty bracelet on her hand.
The other jewellery was fine, but this beauty bracelet was bought from the county town by the original owner after saving up for three years. It cost a full thirty-two taels of silver at the time.
Later, it was taken away by Elaine Chao, who refused to return it no matter what.
All this happened so suddenly that Elaine Chao had no time to react.
Most importantly, she didn't expect that Song Yuntang, who always paid attention to education, would actually grab things directly.
"Song Yuntang, what are you doing? That's mine, give it back to me!"
She wanted to snatch the bracelet back, but Xu Qingye was protecting Song Yuntang, so she couldn't even touch the corner of Song Yuntang's clothes.
Although Xu Qingye didn't understand why Song Yuntang did this, just like he had said before, he believed that she had her reasons for doing so.
Moreover, the bracelet was of good quality and did not seem like something that an ordinary farmer could afford.
Maybe it originally belonged to Tang'er.
Looking at the commotion here, not only the relatives from the Zhao family stood up, but all the relatives from the Song family stood up as well.
"Song Yuntang, not only did you not even have a decent gift for your mother's birthday, but why did you even steal your cousin's things? Are you obsessed with money?" Tian Cuiyun scolded.
Aunt Liu Qiuyan also said, "Song Yuntang, today is your mother's birthday, and we don't want to cause trouble, so quickly return my Lan'er's things!"
Elaine Chao looked at Song Yuntang and cried out of breath.
"Cousin, if you want something from me, you should tell me first. We can discuss other things. But I really like this bracelet, so I really can't give it to you."
Uncle Zhao Shan looked at Zhao Qiao'e with disappointment as he was looking at his own daughter.
"Third sister, look at the girl you raised. How could she steal things? I thought she was well-educated before, but now it seems that she is not as reliable as Zhao Zhao. Tell her to return the things to Lan Er. She is being bullied and crying."
My second uncle Zhao Yi also said, "Zhao Zhao is innocent, simple and kind, but he has never done such a thing as stealing other people's things."
Those outside who didn't know the situation heard this and started discussing it among themselves.
.
"this……"
Zhao didn't know what to say for a moment and could only look to her sister-in-law Wang Hongying for help.
"Sister-in-law, please help me say a few words. I believe Tang'er this time."
When Song Yuntang just returned to the Song family, Zhao Xiaolan and Zhao Xiaotao tricked her into giving away a lot of things. Later, she learned her lesson and stopped giving them away. But when the two failed to trick her, they started to snatch things away, and even made trouble after they got them.
Her two sisters-in-law were very powerful, and she couldn't win either by arguing or fighting, so in the end, nothing was done.
Although she had never seen this bracelet before, she knew it was a good thing, at least not something that the Zhao family could afford.
Wang Hongying stood up immediately and said, "Everyone calm down first. I believe that Tang'er must have a reason for snatching this bracelet..."
Second aunt Tian Cuiyun didn't give Wang Hongying any chance to speak.
"No matter what her reasons are, the bracelet belongs to Xiaolan, Song Yuntang, return it to her immediately!"
"Who said this was hers?"
In order to prevent the beauty bracelet from being bumped, Song Yuntang first put the bracelet on his own hand, then raised it up and looked at the big thing.
"I bought this bracelet when I was still in the Lin family. One year, Mr. Lin and Mrs. Lin took us to the county town to celebrate the Moon Festival. When the family visited the Treasure Pavilion, I liked it and spent thirty-two taels of silver to buy it. After that, when I returned to the Song family, the Lin family did not deduct my jewelry, and I brought this bracelet with me."
It is considered the most valuable piece of jewelry among the original owner.
Everyone gasped. Thirty-two taels, most people could only earn this much money in their entire life, yet a young lady from a wealthy family could earn as much as they would in their entire lifetime just with a bracelet.
Song Yuntang continued, "On the fifth day of last year, my uncle and second uncle's families came to visit me. After they left, my bracelet disappeared. At the time, I guessed it was stolen, but because I had no evidence, I could only let it go. Today, as soon as I walked in, I saw Zhao Xiaolan wearing it on her hand, and I recognized it at a glance, so I did what I did just now."
Zhao Xiaolan's eyes dodged, but she still pretended to be calm and said, "You said this bracelet is yours, so it's yours? What evidence do you have? Besides, no one else has seen your bracelet before. Who knows if you are lying and intend to take my bracelet for yourself!"
She didn't know that this bracelet was so valuable before.
I only wear the bracelet during festivals or when visiting relatives because I am so happy because of its good water content and warm touch.
I usually have to do housework and I’m reluctant to wear it for fear of bumping it.
If she had known it was worth thirty-two taels of silver, she should have taken it to the county town to pawn it. It would have been better than having it taken back by Song Yuntang.
Today, she would get the bracelet back no matter what!
Song Yuntang raised the corners of his lips in disdain.
"Let me ask you, what is your family background? How can you afford a jade bracelet worth thirty-two taels of silver?" She retracted her hand and hid the bracelet in her sleeve. "Everything in the Treasure Pavilion has a mark, and this bracelet is no exception. If you don't believe me, we can go to the Treasure Pavilion in the county to confront him."
"I don't care, this bracelet is mine!"
Zhao Xiaolan didn't say anything and went forward to grab it.
After knowing the value of the bracelet, Zhao's two uncles, aunt and Zhao Xiaotao naturally wanted to support her and rushed forward to help.
After he got the bracelet, he took it to the county town and pawned it.
Even if I can't sell it for the original price, I can at least sell it for twenty taels.
Twenty taels of silver is enough for the whole family to live on for several years.
When Song Yuntang saw Zhao Xiaolan rushing over, he raised his hand and plucked the emerald pearl flower on her head. Then he quickly stepped back, smiling at Zhao Xiaolan with the attitude of a winner.
“This is mine, too.”
Xu Qingye protected her from being caught by the Zhao family. Looking at her playful look after she picked the pearl flower, a look of doting flashed in his eyes.
When Zhao Xiaolan saw that her hair accessories were also snatched away, she became even more reckless.
However, Zhao Xiaotao, seeing that all of Zhao Xiaolan's jewelry was snatched away by Song Yuntang, shrank back, fearing that she would also snatch away the pair of agate earrings on her ears.
