Chapter 508 An accident happened to the Tang family
Tang Lingling quickly ran to open the door.
"Brother-in-law, you're here!" My sister Tang Yingying also greeted me, even more enthusiastic than her sister Tang Lingling.
Tian Xiaohai followed the two sisters into the Tang family hall, and Mr. Tang and Father Tang also greeted them with warm smiles.
Qiu Maixiang happened to bring a bowl of vegetables from the kitchen and put it on the table. Seeing Tian Xiaohai enter the hall, she quickly smiled and wiped the oil on her hands with a paper towel, and greeted him with a smile.
"Xiao Hai, I'm finally looking forward to your coming. Mom has cooked a table full of dishes for you, and you are the one waiting for her..."
She lowered her head and looked at Tian Xiaohai's hand, and her face suddenly darkened when she saw that Tian Xiaohai was carrying a gift box instead of a suitcase.
Seeing Qiao Maixiang staring at her hand, Tian Xiaohai nodded, smiled, and handed over the box in his hand: "Auntie, this is a little gift from me."
"What?" Qiao Maixiang asked curiously. At this moment, she only had the suitcase of money she saw in the video in her mind.
"It's donkey hide gelatin, made from authentic donkey meat. This thing is very filling." Tian Xiaohai smiled and stuffed the gift box into Qiu Maixiang's hand.
When he heard it was donkey-hide gelatin, Qiao Maixiang was about to explode.
She threw the box in her hand and cursed angrily: "You Tian Xiaohai, what do you think I am? I'm still wearing authentic donkey skin! Do you think I have a bad temper and look like a donkey!"
Tang Lingling's father, Tang Jiankai, quickly stepped forward to pick up the gift box and said kindly, "Forget it about Mai Xiang! Xiao Hai also has good intentions."
"What a fart!" Qiao Maixiang pushed Tang Jiankai away, pointed at Tian Xiaohai and roared: "Tian Xiaohai, tell me, where did the money you saw in the video go? You didn't use it as a gift.
What?"
Thinking of the pile of red banknotes she saw in the video, Qiao Maixiang felt excited. She instinctively regarded the money as a gift from Tian Xiaohai to her daughter Tang Lingling.
"Mom, why are you always withdrawing money!" Tang Lingling glared at her mother angrily.
"What's wrong? You are my daughter. I have raised you so much, so I can't charge you any money as a gift. You white-eyed wolf, my mother has raised you so much for nothing. Is it easy for me? You have learned to talk back! See if I don't hit you.
Damn you!" Qiu Mai gritted his teeth because of the fragrant smell, turned around and went to find the feather duster.
"That's enough!" Mr. Tang on the side couldn't stand it for a long time.
He stepped forward, blocked Qiu Maixiang's path, and shouted angrily: "Aren't you embarrassed? Money, money, money, money is needed all the time. My granddaughter and Xiaohai have not yet reached the stage of engagement.
How can you reach out to Xiaohai and ask for the gift money?"
"Dad, I am doing this for the sake of our family Lingling!" Qiao Maixiang forced a smile towards Mr. Tang and said: "Think about it, young people today can't talk for long before they sleep together. What if I
If we don’t accept some betrothal gift as a deposit, what if this boy Tian Xiaohai changes his mind in the future? My daughter will not let this boy sleep in vain!"
"Shut up!" Mr. Tang became angrier as he listened.
"Huh! Shut up, just shut up!" Qiao Maixiang pouted and muttered to herself, still unconvinced: "If I had known this, I wouldn't have cooked tonight. It was a waste of my expression!"
Seeing Qiu Maixiang's anxious look, Tian Xiaohai couldn't help laughing secretly in his heart. After working for a long time, it turned out that the future mother-in-law behaved so well because of the suitcase of money, and specially burned a full table for herself.
dishes.
Now that I have seen my money go down the drain, no wonder I am as angry as a donkey.
It seems that we need an explanation for this matter.
Thinking of this, Tian Xiaohai smiled and cleared his throat and explained: "Aunt, the money you saw in the video just now is not mine. It belongs to the battlefield and is used to pay wages to the workers at the Taojiang battlefield."
"Hey Tian Xiaohai, you tricked me into making dinner on purpose, right?" The aroma of Qiu Mai was overwhelming. He said "Wow" and simply sat on the sofa and cried: "Why is my life so miserable?
!Why did you give birth to an unfilial daughter? She wasn’t even married yet, so she teamed up to deceive me and made me busy all afternoon... Ugh... My hands are sore and my waist is sore, Tian Xiaohai, you are a wolf-hearted person.
, making me busy in vain..."
"Mom, can you stop crying?" Tang Lingling sighed helplessly and sat down to persuade her.
"You can stop me from crying!" Qiao Maixiang wiped away her tears, grabbed Tang Lingling's little hand and persuaded: "But you must promise mom that Tian Xiaohai can collect 800,000 yuan as soon as possible. When I can collect enough, I will
Agree on when you two can be together."
"Eight hundred thousand? Are you crazy? No one in the entire Peach Blossom Town wants such an expensive gift for their daughter! You are simply selling your daughter!" Mr. Tang accused Qiu Maixiang angrily: "Qiu Mai
Xiang, let me tell you, what kind of man Lingling wants to marry is her freedom, don’t let me mess with it. You don’t have the final say in this family!"
"Huh! My own daughter can't make the decision anymore?" Qiao Maixiang stood up unconvinced and shouted at Mr. Tang: "Tang Qiulong, listen to me, Lingling is the flesh that fell from my body. I have
She has the right to decide her marriage. I don’t care how much the bride price is for other people’s daughters in Taohua Town, but in my opinion, my daughter is worth that much. Who let my daughter
He's good-looking! He, Tian Xiaohai, can't afford the money, but many men can afford the gift money. To tell you the truth! Guo Tuozi, the owner of the coal mine in the east of the city, asked the matchmaker to arrange a kiss for me, so he just said
One million. As long as Lingling nods and agrees, one million will be credited to my account immediately. If it weren’t for Tian Xiaohai’s potential, I would have agreed.”
"What? You actually asked my granddaughter to marry a hunchback? Qiao Maixiang didn't expect you to be so shameless for money! I...I'll beat you to death!" Mr. Tang raised his palm and was about to hit Qiu Maixiang's face.
Pull it up.
"Dad, don't hit!" Tang Jiankai rushed over and grabbed Mr. Tang's wrist.
"Okay! Tang Qiulong, how dare you hit me!" Qiao Maixiang gritted her teeth, raised her face and leaned forward, shouting coldly: "Come on, hit me in the face! You old thing, I can't bear it.
You have been here for decades, and you are no longer the mayor of Peach Blossom Town. No one is afraid of you anymore. You damn old man..."
"Pah!" Tang Qiulong shook off Tang Jiankai's hand and slapped Qiu Maixiang on the face.
Qiu Maixiang touched her burning face, her eyes widened, and she cried "Wow" after a while.
"Okay! You really hit me. I...I can't live anymore, I want to die!" Qiao Maixiang turned around and ran out the door.
"Mom, no!" Tang Lingling immediately stood up and chased outside.
"Mom, don't worry about it!" Tang Yingying also chased after her.
"Dad, you..." Tang Jiankai glared at Tang Qiulong angrily, and finally let out a "hum" and ran outside.
"A shrew has ruined three generations!" Tang Qiulong sighed in disappointment, then looked at Tian Xiaohai aside and said: "Xiaohai, I made you laugh! How about you have dinner first! I... I'll go outside and have a look.
If this crazy woman really can’t think about it, she’ll be in trouble.”
"Grandpa Tang, just rest here! I'll help you get Lingling's mother back." Tian Xiaohai comforted Grandpa Tang, turned around and chased outside.
Seeing everyone leaving, Mr. Tang gritted his teeth helplessly, closed the door of the hall, and quickly walked out of the villa compound.
Before I knew it, it was already dark.
Qiu Maixiang ran quite fast. In the blink of an eye, she disappeared at the entrance of the village and completely disappeared.
This made everyone in the Tang family so anxious that they ran to the bank of the Tao River and shouted at the rolling water.
