Those crooked relatives of the Xiang family are indeed ill-intentioned towards Linghan, mother and son.
Just as Uncle Xiang Linghan thought, so did the Xiang family.
Once upon a time, the Xiang family had full hopes for Xiang Youdong, but all Xiang Youdong reported to them was disappointment and despair.
You know, it was not easy for the Xiang family to have a man like Xiang Youdong who could read, and everyone in the clan was very happy.
It can be said that Xiang Youdong's family had a hard time at the beginning, because the people in the clan supported Xiang Youdong.
Until Xiang Youdong became a scholar, won the first place, and became a genius.
After Xiang Youdong gained this fame, the Xiang family's life gradually improved, and it was also at this time that Xiang's mother married Xiang Youdong.
The Xiang family worked hard to train Xiang Youdong, and received such rewards. Seeing Xiang Linghan, a wolf cub, the Xiang family had no desire to support and train him.
They worry that the hard-earned money they have worked so hard for will end up being thrown into the water, with only a few splashes at most.
When people invest, they always hope to get a return.
After Xiang Youdong became the eldest son, he not only brought glory to the Xiang family, but also gained a lot of benefits.
However, people could still think of some of these benefits when Xiang Youdong was alive, but once Xiang Youdong died, these people really had no scruples at all.
The reason why Xiang Youdong's tribe agreed to let him marry Xiang's mother was not because Xiang's mother was a merchant girl and brought a large dowry.
Just as Uncle Xiang Linghan had guessed, the people in the Xiang family were eyeing the dowry in Xiang's mother's hand.
At that time, Xiang's mother was extremely lucky. She had lost her husband and her natal family, so she had escaped disaster.
When the Xiang family members came to the Xiang family, they found nothing, and they couldn't forcefully take away the home where Xiang Linghan lived.
After all, Xiang Linghan is already fourteen years old. He is considered a grown man and can fully support a family.
Even if people from Xiangjia have this intention, they don't have such a tenable reason.
In the end, the Xiang family members had no choice but to leave reluctantly.
After the incident was over, Xiang's mother returned to her family's home and asked her brother and sister-in-law for money. After all, they still had to live, and money was needed for all matters at home.
Who would have known that Xiang's mother would not be able to enter directly, and was turned away by her own brother and sister-in-law.
Now, Xiang's mother panicked and expressed that she must see her brother and sister-in-law.
It is conceivable that even if Xiang's mother saw her brother and sister-in-law, it would not help.
The two of them did not admit at all that they had received the dowry from their mother.
The couple directly expressed that it was impossible for Xiang's mother to send her dowry back to her parents' home. They had not received it at all.
The couple even directly said that if Xiang's mother really couldn't survive, as brother and sister-in-law, they couldn't just watch their sister and two nephews starve to death, right?
So, the couple directly gave Xiang's mother one hundred taels of silver and asked her to learn what it means to run a household well and live a good life.
Of course, after taking the dowry of ten thousand taels from her mother back to her parents' home, she only got back one hundred taels, which also gave her unscrupulous brother and sister-in-law a lot of good reputation.
When I think about the fact that my son will have to take the scientific examination in the future, it will cost a lot of money.
Especially since she has an unmarried daughter for whom she has not yet prepared a dowry.
