In an instant, those who had been focusing on Zhou Jiuzhen's exact height all turned their attention to Song Yaoyao.
"Yeah, what exactly does Song Zhiqing mean? Ling Zhiqing clearly likes her own man, so why is she publicly stirring up trouble and slandering Ling Zhiqing for liking her man?"
"I guess she only started to think that Zhou's second son was a lazy bum after she got married. After all, his brother is a well-known, reliable, and capable regimental commander. She felt that she couldn't compare to him because she married poorly, so she was just trying to ruin her sister-in-law's and her husband's reputation."
"No, no!"
Song Yaoyao waved her hands repeatedly to deny what these people were saying. After all, she was reborn with the goal of living a good life with Zhou Shuyao and becoming the wife of the richest man in the future. It was not, as they said, that she wanted to ruin Zhou Shuyao's reputation.
She looked nervously at Zhou Shuyao, whose face was now as black as the bottom of a black pot under the stove.
He was just being arrogant, saying even his sister-in-law had a crush on him, but then he turned around and said even his own wife hated him.
Even a normal man would find this huge difference unacceptable.
Zhou Shuyao, being young and impetuous, couldn't keep his feelings to himself. He kicked over a nearby bench, turned around, and stormed off.
When Song Yaoyao saw her future richest husband giving her a cold shoulder, she felt like the sky was about to fall.
She couldn't understand why Zhou Shuyao was angry.
Could it be that he was reborn as well?
The thought popped into her head, and she shuddered with fright.
Just as he was about to chase after her, Ling Huanwu grabbed his arm.
"Oh dear, my dear sister Song Yaoyao, don't go! Now that you've clarified the matter of your slander that I like your man, isn't it time to talk about the dowry our parents gave us?"
As soon as Ling Huanwu finished speaking, she was shoved hard and fell backward. If Zhou Jiuzhen hadn't been there to steady her, her forehead would probably have been bleeding from hitting the corner of the table.
She looked up and realized that the person who pushed her was none other than Ling's father!
At this moment, Ling's father and mother stood on either side of Song Yaoyao, their eyes filled with resentment as if they were looking at an enemy.
"Ling Huanwu, you've already embarrassed your sister in front of so many people, what more do you want?"
"Didn't we say that it's not that we don't want to give it to you, but that you won't be able to take that much stuff with you when you go to the army? If you can take it with you, we'll give you as much as we have!"
That sounds very eloquent and makes perfect sense.
Ling Huanwu sneered, all traces of affection she had for them vanished.
"Alright, you've said this twice in front of everyone, so I won't hide it anymore. Actually, I already had all the dowry moved away last night, and it'll all be mine from now on. Parents and sister, don't go back on your word!"
Song Yaoyao was first stunned with disbelief and smugness, then burst into mocking laughter, rushed to the dowry tables, and made as if to lift the red cloth, "How is this possible? So many dowry items, how could you take them all away..."
