At some point, Jiang's father and Jiang's mother had appeared in the courtyard of Qiao's family. Even Mrs. Du came holding her belly, but she stood farther away, but she was closer than the neighbors who were watching the excitement.
Jiang's mother heard what her daughter said to the matchmaker, and stepped forward and asked, "What is going on?"
Chu Yunli patted her hand comfortingly and turned her gaze to Mother Qiao: "Don't pretend to be stupid with me. I'll ask you one last time, will you give it or not?"
Of course Mother Qiao would not give it. If she had given the money, how could the Qiao family explain it clearly?
She emphasized: "I don't understand what you mean."
Chu Yunli nodded, supported Jiang's mother and turned around, then looked at George Kun and said: "I look down on you. As a man, I have no responsibility. We have been married for three years, and you are coldly watching others bully me. If you tell me frankly,
In one sentence, you regret marrying me and ask me to let you go. Do you think I will continue to pester you?"
George Kun was also afraid of being embarrassed, so he stretched out his hands to cover the injury on his face, turning his back to everyone intentionally or unintentionally. When he heard this, his expression changed drastically: "I have no regrets."
Chu Yunli sneered: "Then what are you doing?"
The Jiang family couldn't understand it more and more. Jiang Lin saw that his sister really just got his wages back. The more he thought about it, the more he felt it was a loss. He said loudly: "Sister, since it is the Qiao family that is immoral and they want to expel you now, why do you have to cover up for them?"
?Today, in front of the neighbors, you are tearing off the Qiao family’s face so that they will not be able to hold their heads up in the future. You will ruin George Kun’s reputation!”
He didn't know what George Kun had done to offend his sister, but his sister's words made it clear that it was George Kun who was at fault.
Father Qiao was smoking a dry cigarette. The cigarette in his pipe had not stopped smoking since just now. When he heard this, he frowned and looked at his wife.
Mother Qiao understood that her son's reputation must not be ruined. She immediately said: "Jiang Yuniang, since you have decided to leave, let's get together and part ways. From now on, no one should entangle or slander each other."
"Smear it?" Chu Yunli said amusingly: "You see, it is already black, so do you need me to smear it? Again, you want me to shut up and take out all the benefits you get from me."
Mother Qiao wanted to argue again, but Chu Yunli had already taken the lead and said: "You will have more benefits by preserving George Kun's reputation. If I destroy him, it will be difficult for the Qiao family to use him to get married.
At that time, you were still living in a poor family in an alley. There were about ten people in your family, old and young, and you could only survive by working hard."
Upon hearing these words, Mother Qiao's expression changed.
George Kun took a step forward: "Mother Yu, I don't want things to end up like this. But I don't deny that I was wrong in this matter. After all, I am sorry for you." He didn't look back: "Mother,
Give her the money!"
That's not a small sum, it can be said to account for 99% of the Qiao family's current savings. How could Mother Qiao be willing to part with it?
She knew that using money to seal Jiang Yuniang's mouth would be good for the whole family, but she just couldn't bear it!
But since her son said so, she had to consider it, and said with pain: "Zhikun..."
George Kun's voice deepened: "Give it to her!"
Mother Qiao was reluctant and looked at Chu Yunli: "Come in."
Firstly, the wealth is not revealed. Secondly, with so many people watching, if he gave Jiang Yuniang dozens of taels of silver in front of everyone and showed that this was a benefit obtained from her, outsiders would definitely be curious. When the time comes, it will be easy to tell.
Not nice.
Jiang's mother was a little worried: "Yu Niang, what on earth is going on?"
Chu Yunli patted her arm: "Mom, I'll come as soon as I go. I'll tell you carefully when I get home."
She entered the main house. Jiang Yuniang had been here for three years. It was said that the Qiao family had to eat in this outside room every day, but she had three meals a day in the restaurant and rarely sat at the same table with the Qiao family. The number of times she entered this room
I can count them on one hand.
Mother Qiao came out of the inner room, holding two silver ingots in her hand, and said: "Before you take the silver, you must promise me not to tell anyone about this."
Chu Yunli smiled half-heartedly: "You just want to use this to get rid of me?"
Mother Qiao gritted her teeth: "That's all, do you like it or not?"
"Then I don't want it." Chu Yunli turned around and left: "Anyway, if the truth is spread, it won't be me who suffers."
"Stop." Mother Qiao jumped in anger: "There are thirty taels in total, no matter how much more I have, I don't have any!"
"Fifty taels." Chu Yunli said this and saw her expression changed, and said: "I have said before that I know the truth. I know how many benefits you have received. There is no way you want to deceive me.
!”
Mother Qiao did get more than forty taels of benefits. Adding up the bits and pieces, it was not much different if she didn't have fifty. But this person only made money for food and drink. She never thought that one day, this windfall would be used by someone.
She took out all the money. Since she got the money, she regarded it as her own. After the family became rich, she couldn't help but make a tooth ceremony, and also made some new clothes for the family, and usually went around with her parents' house.
It's also a bit more generous.
Anyway, after spending the past three years, together with the family's savings for many years, there is only fifty taels.
Without this windfall, she would not be so lavish, and her savings must still be there...Now that Jiang Yuniang wants so much, Mother Qiao really feels the pain like cutting out her flesh and heart. She really couldn't bear it, so she held on and said: "
No!"
Chu Yunli also quickly pushed away the two ingots of silver she handed over, turned around and left.
Mother Qiao was frightened, because Jiang Yuniang knew more than she thought. If she really told all these things, how could her son's reputation be preserved?
Besides, it was his son's intention to ask for money to seal his mouth just now. Since he mentioned it like this, he must be somewhat sure about it... Reluctant to let go of the child and unable to trap the wolf, Mother Qiao gritted her teeth and cut off the flesh!
"Wait a minute, I'll get it."
This time, the money she took out was in parts, and her hands were shaking when she handed it over. Chu Yunli took it without hesitation, looked at the correct amount, and said: "Don't worry, I will go there with George Kun early tomorrow morning."
The Yamen got back the marriage certificate. From now on, we will go back to the bridge and go back to the road. I will not talk about your Qiao family outside. Of course, you'd better not say bad things about me. If you say anything about me, you will
slander, then don’t blame me for being ruthless.”
Mother Qiao became even more reluctant to give up: "You got the benefit..."
"I deserve this!" Chu Yunli put the silver in a silk handkerchief and wrapped it up, half-smiling but not smiling: "What do you think will happen if I use George Kun to ask for money from Miss Tang?"
Now that the Qiao family is worried about everything, how can Mother Qiao dare to stand up to Jiang Yuniang?
"No!" Mother Qiao closed her eyes: "I listen to you, let's get together and relax, and leave quickly!"
If she didn't leave, she was afraid that she would rush up and snatch the money back.
Chu Yunli put the silver into her sleeves. It was a little too heavy and the sleeves were a little unnatural. However, she seemed unaware and walked to the yard to help Jiang Mu: "Mom, let's go home."
Du reminded in a low voice: "Sister, where is your dowry?"
The Jiang family did not want to sell their daughter. Jiang Yuniang made some money from embroidery before getting married, and all of it was used to buy a dowry. The Jiang family also spent some money, adding up to a few taels of silver, but after three years, those things have depreciated a lot.
, not worth much money anymore.
But some things, like bedding and pots and pans, are essential.
Mrs. Du didn't want the Qiao family to take advantage of her, and Chu Yunli didn't want to either. She just got a large sum of money, so she forgot about it. She turned around and said, "George Kun, you hired someone to move those things here."
Yes, now please send me my things home. Remember, nothing less will do!"
Mother Qiao was holding her chest in pain at the moment. She had just lost dozens of taels... If she had the silver, she wouldn't care about this little thing, but now that the money is gone, she would have to spend money to move these things away.
When her son asked for help, she suddenly became anxious: "You have already taken so much..."
Chu Yunli turned around: "How much did I take?"
Mother Qiao: "..."
In front of everyone, she gritted her teeth with hatred, and her tone was quite gentle when she spoke: "It's not much, what's yours is yours, our Qiao family is never greedy!"
On the way, a neighbor tried to persuade Chu Yunli: "Yu Niang, your mother-in-law is a bit too strong, but she is very capable. Why do you bother with her? You should go back and apologize..."
Chu Yunli didn't like hearing this and walked very fast.
The Jiang family's neighbors knew what happened there, and some tried to persuade Chu Yunli, but Chu Yunli was unwilling to listen. The Jiang family wanted to know the truth, so the group hurried back home.
After entering the door, Father Jiang had just closed the door. Mother Jiang asked, "Mother Yu, what is going on?"
"I've been having a hard time in the past few years since I got married." Chu Yunli sat on a stool and sighed: "No one in the Qiao family treats me well. I go out early and come back late every day, and no one treats me well. Restaurant
Over there, the supervisor who was transferred the year before last was quite good-looking, but he was very harsh on me. I was scolded for everything I did, and he often deducted my wages. Originally, I had nearly sixty-two taels of wages for more than two years, but he was
Only four taels are left."
Jiang Lin has a quick temper. If he wasn't afraid that he wouldn't be able to beat the Qiao brothers and suffer a loss, he really didn't want to give up just now. When he heard his sister say this, he couldn't help but ask: "Does this have anything to do with George Kun?"
"Yes!" Chu Yunli said seriously: "I also just found out that before he got married to me, he was attracted by a rich girl. The girl found various reasons to get close to him, and he... At that time, he liked...
I don’t know what she thinks, but she still comes to me to propose marriage.”
Jiang Lin frowned: "The Qiao family doesn't know?"
If I knew, I should have stopped it.
Chu Yunli nodded: "On the day I passed the house, the woman sent a large gift, and the Qiao family learned the truth. So, after that, they all felt that I was dragging George Kun down."
He believed that Jiang Yuniang was a vixen who had seduced George Kun's heart, so he missed a perfect marriage.
Father Jiang asked in a deep voice: "What's going on with the stewardship?"
Originally, Jiang Yuniang had been immersed in work all day and had never suspected these things. She only learned the truth when Mrs. Li came to show off after being divorced by the Qiao family. Even the fifty taels of silver belonged to Mrs. Li.
That's right. At that time, the eldest brother and the third child each received twenty taels, and even the married George Ning received ten taels.
Generally speaking, the elders of the family would not give all the money they have to their children, but the reason why the Qiao family did this was because they got more from their new second daughter-in-law.
"It's Miss Tang who came to the restaurant. She just fell in love with the dowry of George Kun's little sister. The steward there is very good-looking. He's still in his twenties and hasn't gotten married yet. In fact, it's her lover..."
