What's more, their money was basically handed over to her and she was in control of it.
If she had such a good thing, once she got home, she would not have been able to live such a leisurely life as she does now.
But if not, where would she find the money to compensate them?
Jian Xiu seemed to see through Old Li's thoughts, so she took a few steps closer to her and said:
"In these years, I have at least one hundred taels of silver!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Old Mrs. Li and Jian Daniu were startled.
Even Jian Fuyin stared at Jian Xiu in a daze, as if he had received a great shock.
It was more than one hundred taels, not just one hundred copper coins. They could never earn that much money in their entire lives.
He didn't even know when he had given so much money to this family.
On weekdays, his money was managed by Xuemei.
As for how to match, that was all arranged by her.
Seeing the two of them like this, Jian Xiu knew that his words had worked, so he continued:
"This is just the money I've spent in your family over the years, not including the tuition for your so-called eldest grandson to go to the academy. If you add it up, it's not just a matter of a hundred taels."
"What do you mean by family or not? Now my son belongs to someone else, but the tuition for his college education has to be paid entirely by the second wife. This is absurd no matter how you look at it."
"If your first wife was disabled, that would be understandable. Or if the whole family worked together to live a good life, that would be fine. The key is that your first wife has hands and feet and is in good health, but she relies on the income of the second wife to show off in front of the second wife."
"It's really unheard of. People say that those who take from others are soft-hearted and those who eat from others are not grateful, but I see that they eat from others, drink from others, and take from others, and they are so self-righteous."
While saying this, Jian Xiu's eyes never left Li Caixia.
Those eyes seemed to want to stare a hole into her.
Jian Xiu still recited word for word what she had said in the kitchen just now.
"I...I didn't." Li Caixia stammered.
"You still dare to deny it? I heard everything you said in the kitchen just now. You are so arrogant in front of me. When I was not around, I don't know how Xue Mei was bullied by you!"
"You turned black into white, and I can see how you wrongly accuse Xuemei on weekdays. Just because she is easy to bully doesn't mean she has no one behind her. Remember your identity. You are now relying on the second house to make a living. But your attitude tells me that you are the king of the family."
“I…I…”
"Stop talking nonsense! I'm going to make this clear today. Either you leave the house or you pay me back. As parents, I don't want you to pay more than that. One hundred taels is enough. As your eldest wife, you have to calculate the total amount of money your son has paid for his tuition at the academy over the years."
After saying this, Jian Xiu walked directly to Zhang Xuemei without saying anything and pulled open her sleeves...
When Jian Xiu saw the shocking purple scars on it, she became even more furious.
"These are the good deeds of your 'close relatives'! I just want to ask, how has Sister Xue wronged your Jian family that you need to treat her like this?"
In fact, when Jian Xiu rolled up Zhang Xuemei's sleeves, he was just taking a gamble.
I heard from Jane's mother that she often saw bruises on Zhang Xuemei's body.
In addition, when I accidentally touched her while eating just now, she shrank noticeably.
Although the movement was not big, Jian Xiu felt it clearly.
I never thought...
When seeing the scars on Zhang Xuemei's arms, Mrs. Li and Li Caixia looked obviously embarrassed.
But even so, Old Li still stiffened his neck and refuted:
"This may not be caused by us! You...Jian Xiu, what do you mean by this? Don't make false accusations!"
"Did anyone get wrongly accused? I heard it all clearly in the kitchen just now. These are all what Li Caixia said."
"You are wronging me! Where did I say that? I just said that occasionally..."
Having said this, Li Caixia quickly covered her mouth, looking terrified.
Obviously, she realized that she had said the wrong thing.
"Come on, why don't you continue? You keep on making excuses. Do you know what I am doing? With these scars on Sister Xue's hands, I will go to the government office and sue you."
After saying this, Jian Xiu looked at the Jian Fuyin brothers again, "What about you? What do you think about this?"
Jian Fuyin immediately shook his head and said, "No problem. I appreciate what you said."
Jian Xiu was surprised to hear this.
It seems that Jian Fuyin really misses home.
Thinking of this, Jian Xiu looked at him in a different light.
It seems that he is not so stupid and knows how to help his wife.
"Then tell me, what should you do? Or, do you think what I just said makes sense?" Jian Xiu said again.
"I think it makes sense. I don't mind my parents. Just give them 100 taels as you said. But it's not the same with my elder brother and his wife."
When saying this, Jian Fuyin's tone already clearly had a hint of gnashing of teeth.
In fact, Jian Xiu really wronged Jian Fuyin.
He really didn't know that Zhang Xuemei had suffered so much injustice at home.
In this sense, he is indeed not a qualified husband.
So before Jian Xiu asked him a question, he nodded without hesitation.
After knowing the truth of all things, he would never tolerate outsiders bullying his wife like this.
So Jian Fuyin looked at his parents and said sternly:
"Dad, Mom, Sister Xue has been married to me for so many years and she has never said a word to you, but you treated her so cruelly. Are you still human?"
"You spent our second wife's money, and we never complained. Usually, most of the housework was done by our second wife. Why do you still treat her like this?"
"Oh, it sounds like you also know that these chores are done by your second room, then what were you doing before?" Jian Xiu couldn't help but retorted to Jian Fuyin.
In her opinion, Jian Fuyin should not tolerate such things happening at home.
"I have talked to Sister Xue about this many times, but she never listened to me. I didn't know she had suffered so much."
At this point, Jian Fuyin walked towards Zhang Xuemei again, "You are so stupid, why don't you say anything?"
The look of disappointment made Zhang Xuemei's eyes red.
Looking at Zhang Xuemei like this, Jian Xiu was also speechless.
Now that you realize you've been wronged, what were you doing before?
Can't you speak even though you have a mouth?
Of course, Jian Xiu would not say these words out loud, she just complained in her heart.
Afterwards, Jian Fuyin pulled Zhang Xuemei's other arm away again.
Not surprisingly, the bruises were still shocking.
