Old man Xiao is the most hypocritical and selfish person in the Xiao family. He doesn't care about anyone or anything in the family as long as it doesn't involve his personal interests.
At this moment, he clearly wanted Xiao Ruyi's fifty thousand taels of silver, but he spoke so hypocritically and in a roundabout way.
"Yes, yes, we are all family. Why would we cause trouble to my brother and sister-in-law for no reason?
Besides, we all know that my aunt is the most filial, so it's only right for you to give money to your parents." Aunt Xu took over the conversation.
"Damn it!" Xiao Ling'er cursed in her heart. This Xu was also shameless. She didn't want to swear and wanted to use reason to force Xiao Ruyi to hand over the silver note.
"Little sister, you have changed. You even have conditions for being filial to your parents. I am very disappointed in you." Boss Xiao also chimed in, looking at Xiao Ruyi with disappointment.
As expected, birds of a feather flock together. The couple were equally insidious and selfish. Xiao Ling'er cursed in her heart.
"I...I will respect my parents, but you can't take things from my second sister-in-law and Lingling."
Xiao Ruyi's expression relaxed a little, but he still didn't take out the banknote.
"Little sister, what you said is not right, what do you mean by us stealing Second Sister-in-law's things?
As a daughter-in-law, shouldn't she take the initiative to hand over everything to her parents? Hiding it like this is extremely unfilial." Xiao Lao San also stood up and spoke.
His words made the people who gathered around to watch the fun start pointing and talking at Mu Xiya.
"Yes, it's natural to respect your parents-in-law. A daughter-in-law like this needs to be taught a lesson."
"That's right, if I had a daughter-in-law like this, I would have beaten her to death long ago."
"Why don't you just divorce such an unfilial daughter-in-law?"
These discussions made Xiao Yuhao's face look very ugly.
He was about to step forward to argue, but Xiao Ling'er stopped him.
"Haohao, just follow the crowd. Don't try to debate with these idiots who lack independent thinking, judgment, and believe whatever others say.
Don't care too much about what others think of you, they are just insignificant strangers.
The only way to achieve success is to use a strong fist. If anyone dares to bully us, we just beat them down!"
When Xiao Ling'er said this, she glanced coldly at the people who had just spoken.
Those people took a few steps back after being looked at. Although they were very angry, they didn't say anything more.
After all, this is someone else's family affair and they don't want to get into trouble.
"Well, I'll remember it, sister! They are all fools with no opinions and no brains." Xiao Yuhao snorted and cursed.
"Xiao Ruyi, you bastard, you actually negotiated terms with me. I'll skin you alive."
Old Mrs. Xiao didn't take the conversation between Xiao Ling'er and her brother seriously. She always remembered the incident with the banknote.
At this moment, she rolled up her sleeves and cursed, wanting to go forward and snatch it from Xiao Ruyi.
"Grandma, my father will be here soon, and all the banknotes are with him.
You all know that my father is a scholar. When he arrives, he can talk to the military commanders on the city wall and ask them to open the city gates for us so that we can get money and buy food.”
Ah Hua's words made Old Lady Xiao stop what she was doing.
"Impossible! We must hand over that idiot Mu Xiya. My Wenwen has been beaten so badly, we can't just let it go like this."
After helping Xiao Yuliang up, Mrs. Wen stared at Mu Xiya with a vicious look and said.
"Yes, beat that idiot to death and then snatch the bag. There must be food in it." Eleven-year-old Xiao Yanyue looked greedily at Mu Xiya's hands hidden behind her back.
It seems that Wen is the only one present who truly cares about her son.
