Chapter 92: Rushing to Give Money
On an old wooden table.
Several pieces of fine cotton cloth.
A bag of refined flour and a bag of fine grain.
There are also two exquisite wooden boxes.
"Brother, there is something I must explain to you..."
"Whether you believe it or not, my husband really didn't intend to default on his debt. After he became an official, he gave the money he owed you to my mother-in-law and asked her to pay it back to you! Every year since then, he has taken out fifty taels of silver and asked my mother-in-law to send it to you through someone else..."
Thirty taels was too little, and she was embarrassed to say it out loud, so she lied and said it was fifty taels.
"Nonsense! We haven't received a single cent." Liu Yu Niang interrupted her.
Fifty taels! Not even a penny has been found.
This is just the thief crying "stop thief".
Shameless!
Qi Caiwei hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law, please listen to me first. This is indeed my husband's fault...
"We only recently learned that after my husband gave the money to my mother-in-law, she embezzled it. My eldest brother's legs were also beaten by my mother-in-law..."
"My husband is completely unaware of all this."
Liu Yu Niang was furious when she heard this. "Mrs. Qi, when you say this, do you really expect us to be grateful to Jiang Yunze?"
Is this woman mentally ill?
The thing has been done. What difference does it make whether it is said or not, or whether it is Jiang Yunze or not?
If you should apologize, just apologize. Why do you have to make such a fuss? You have no sense of responsibility at all.
Both are noble ladies from high-class families.
This woman is not even a little bit inferior to Lu Qingyao.
If she were to become the Jiang family's mistress, Jiang Yunze would probably be in big trouble...
Qi Caiwei opened her mouth and said, "That's not what I meant..."
She was puzzled. She was just telling the truth and stating the facts, so why were they so angry?
The more you talk, the more mistakes you make.
Forget it, just give me the money.
There is nothing that money can't solve.
Thinking of this, Qi Caiwei put on a smiling face and pushed the two wooden boxes in front of Jiang Yunhu.
Open.
A box was full of silver.
In one box was the title deed.
"Brother and sister-in-law, this is the one hundred taels of silver that my husband owed you. This house in Qingshi Town is just a small compensation from my husband..."
Jiang Yunhu took the 100 taels of silver without hesitation, "Okay, we'll take the silver..."
Liu Yu Niang thought her husband would refuse, but she didn't expect him to accept it so readily.
Then they received two repayments, which seems a bit wrong...
Qi Caiwei smiled.
Sure enough, silver is still needed.
There is nothing that money can't solve.
"Brother and sister-in-law, please accept this house and the rice!"
"House..."
Jiang Yunhu was just about to say, "Take the house back," when the person who came in from the door took over the conversation.
"Brother Zhaizi and his family also accepted it. They consider it as the interest on the money they borrowed for more than ten years, as well as the money for the doctor's visit to treat my brother's leg."
When Qi Caiwei saw the person at the door, her face instantly darkened, "What are you doing here?"
Lu Qingyao walked in holding the somewhat evil-looking baby.
There was a crimson bird sitting on the little baby's arm.
The birds and people all looked at her with burning eyes.
It makes people very uncomfortable!
Jiang Yunhu stood up and said, "I invited her here. She is the wife that my brother married in a formal ceremony, so she should be here. I not only invited my sister-in-law, but also invited Uncle Fu, the elder of the Jiang family and the head of Taoxi Village."
Uncle Fu and Lu Qingyao came in one after the other.
"Uncle Fu, your nephew asked you to come here today to be a witness..." Jiang Yunhu said while looking at the villagers outside the yard fence.
"Please help us bear witness."
Everyone nodded.
Jiang Miaomiao just became a spectator.
She even asked her aunt to pack a small bag of goat's milk slices for her, which she was enjoying now.
From time to time, he would stuff a piece into his mother's mouth, "Sizzle..."
"Good girl Miaomiao, mommy doesn't want to eat now, you eat it by yourself!" Lu Qingyao smiled and looked at her little girl lovingly.
When he looked up again, the smile on his face disappeared.
He said to Jiang Yunhu and Liu Yuniang, "Brother and sister-in-law, before Jiang Yunze passed the imperial examination, you took good care of them, an orphan and a widow. This is what you deserve, so please accept it."
"Okay, I'll take it! But the one who should be paid back for this money and house is you, my sister-in-law..."
As Jiang Yunhu spoke, he took the box of silver and deeds from Qi Caiwei and brought it to Lu Qingyao.
Qi Caiwei was anxious, "No, this is what my husband gave back to you, how can you give it to Lu Qingyao?"
How can I give it to Lu Qingyao?
This... this is different from what she thought...
Shouldn't Jiang Yunhu and his wife be grateful to her and distance themselves from Lu Qingyao after receiving the money and the house?
Liu Yu Niang raised her eyebrows and said, "Since Jiang Yunze has returned the silver, it is ours. Why do you care who we give it to?"
Since Jiang Yunze has paid back the money, the one hundred taels that his sister-in-law had paid for him before should be returned.
There are still the thirty taels that I didn't pay back last time, and the fifteen taels that I borrowed from her before.
Just use the house as collateral.
Although I don’t know how much the house is worth, I think it’s about the same.
Liu Yu Niang took the box from her husband's hand and put it in Xiu Xiu's hand.
Turning to Qi Caiwei, he said, "I'll tell you why. My sister-in-law paid back two hundred taels for that brat Jiang Yunze..."
"So we'll just give it back to her now, is that a problem?"
"Of course there is no problem. I was at the scene and saw with my own eyes that Madam Lu gave two hundred taels of silver to Brother Hu. I can testify to this." Uncle Fu, the head of the village, said to everyone.
Then someone in the crowd responded.
"I think it's fine. It's unreasonable to ask a weak woman to take on her husband's debt."
"That's right, whoever owes it must pay it back..."
Qi Caiwei's face turned green with anger.
I covered my heart and couldn't breathe.
She must be crazy, that's why she is so eager to give Lu Qingyao money and a house!
how so?
Then I heard the villagers start to murmur...
The sound is not loud, but the lethality is huge!
"Look at what this concubine is wearing, then look at what Boss Lu is wearing, and those two kids, then look at Brother Feng and Brother Yan... That Jiang Lao Er is such a wicked person!"
"That's right, this is what rich people call favoring concubines and destroying wives!"
"What about being unfilial to your mother-in-law and poisoning your illegitimate son? I think Mr. Lu is being wronged..."
"I'm afraid this woman is the one who framed him. Seeing that Mr. Lu no longer has the support of his natal family, she wants to take his place..."
"That's right, you still have the nerve to show off in public and come here, you have no shame..."
"I heard that this concubine tried to force her way into Cui's house, but ended up getting covered in feces..."
“Aaaaaaa…”
Jiang Miaomiao clapped her chubby little hands vigorously.
These aunts and uncles are so smart.
Great! Keep it up!
All the palace fights and house fights are completely vulnerable in front of the village aunts and uncles.
"Stop talking, just shut up!" Qi Caiwei beat her chest and stamped her feet, slamming the table angrily.
Seeing that no one responded to her, they continued to point fingers at her.
Pointing at the villagers, he said, "Slap them! Slap them all! Now make them shut up!"
Qi Caiwei's eyes were bloodshot, and she clenched her fists tightly, as if she was about to explode. She looked at the servants and said, "Hurry up and go! Are you dead?"
Then.
Jiang Miaomiao saw that the scene was in chaos.
They scuffled into a ball.
Her mother and Aunt Xiuxiu quickly hugged her and Jiang Wenxuan, and pulled Jiang Qiaoer into the house.
Xiuxiu had never seen such a scene before and was a little at a loss.
"Sister, what should I do?"
"Let's try to mediate the fight, but don't let anything happen!"
Then Xiao Miaomiao saw Aunt Xiuxiu go out to mediate...
It’s better not to pull it.
The more you pull... the more serious the commotion...
Jiang Yunhu and his wife stood by, at a loss, not knowing what to do.
Jiang Zijin pulled his brother and hid in the kitchen.
Crazy! These people must be crazy...
My mother is crazy too...
