Chapter 705 The Unlovable Eldest Daughter Thirteen
Now it seems that the family really has no money to buy a dowry. Of course, it is also true that they are searching for her.
Jiang Huixin is the eldest in the family, and her two younger brothers are only one or two years younger than her. Because her mother did not buy a dowry for herself, she could understand it at the time. After all, a girl's family can marry without a dowry, but a son can marry without a dowry.
If you don’t care about your daughter-in-law, if she faces such a situation, she will save a little on her daughter.
Because she understood her mother's approach, she did not care about the dowry.
But she never dreamed that a girl like her who was already married would be sold by her mother again.
She didn't believe it, and cried and shook her head: "I'm going to ask her!" She gritted her teeth and said: "If you lied to me, I won't let you go!"
After saying this, he climbed onto the carriage softly and rushed to Jiang's house.
It was related to Xiaoya's life experience, so Chu Yunli also made a trip. Because the Tang family couple was not very agile, she was alone and arrived first.
The Jiang family lived in an alley. The yard was slightly larger than other families, but not as big as the Tang and Liu families. Since the alley was not as spacious as the street, Chu Yunli's carriage took a lot of effort to turn around after it arrived at the door.
Someone heard the commotion and opened the door. When he saw Chu Yunli, he smiled and said, "Xiaoya, come back to see your grandma?"
Chu Yunli hummed: "My mother is here too, on the way."
The neighbor's wife was a little surprised: "Then why aren't you together?"
"I'm rather anxious." Chu Yunli opened her mouth.
In the eyes of the neighbor's aunt, this is even more strange. Jiang Huixin married well, but she was not rich enough to hire several coachmen when the whole family went to the same place.
The aunt was just confused for a moment, then quickly put it aside and greeted with a smile: "Come in and sit for a while."
"No." When the two of them were talking, the Jiang family had already heard the noise. After Chu Yunli finished speaking, the door had been opened from the inside. Standing at the door was Jiang's mother. She frowned and said, "Hurry into the house."
Chu Yunli did not move: "My mother and the others are on the way and will arrive soon."
"Then you should come in first, don't delay other people's work outside." In fact, Mother Jiang didn't want her granddaughter to talk too much with the neighbors.
In the past years, Xiaoya rarely went to her grandmother's house, and when she came, her treatment was similar to that in the Tang family. Anyway, she had a lot of work to do, she didn't get any good things, she was the last to be served at the table, and she had to be ordered around in various ways.
For example, if there was a shortage of salt or chopsticks, she would have to go get it and never have a quiet meal.
Chu Yunli's face was full of sarcasm: "Can I shut up, okay?"
Some people like to make insinuations when they talk, and they would be embarrassed if they were exposed. This was the case for Jiang's mother at this time. She immediately darkened her face: "There are too many things happening in the Tang family. Why did you cancel the engagement? How are you, my cousin?
I helped you find a good marriage. If she hadn't been related to her over there, this matter wouldn't have been your fault at all. A good marriage can just be backed out at the drop of a hat. You're too willful. If you ask me, it's your father.
Mother indulges you too much!"
The Tang family indulges Xiaoya?
It's just nonsense.
Chu Yunli raised her eyebrows: "That is indeed a good marriage. Didn't mother tell you? The one who got engaged is my biological brother, and the future father-in-law will be my biological father!"
Mother Jiang's mouth opened wide with surprise on her face. After reacting, she looked around warily and pulled Chu Yunli through the door.
"You are the daughter of the Tang family, don't talk nonsense! Who is your biological father? Your biological father is Tang Mingshan!"
Chu Yunli suddenly realized that Jiang Huixin was not willing to mention what happened back then. Even in front of her own mother, she only said that she wanted to break off the engagement and let them pay back the money, without telling the real reason.
Mother Jiang across from me looked shocked and uncertain. She stared at the wall in a daze. Gradually, she became more and more surprised. She reached out and covered her mouth. She turned around and said, "Really?"
Just at this time, another carriage stopped at the door. Mother Jiang looked over and saw her daughter paying the fare with tears on her face and trembling hands.
"Huixin, why didn't you tell me in advance when you came back?" Mother Jiang went out to welcome her, and when she met her daughter's fierce gaze, her heart skipped a beat: "If you have anything to say, go inside and talk."
Even now, Jiang Huixin didn't want to make the matter bigger. As long as this kind of thing happened, women would suffer. But she was filled with anger and couldn't calm down. When she saw her mother, she didn't dare to speak, fearing that she would be angry if she spoke out.
He scolded her, and immediately grabbed her mother's sleeve and said succinctly: "Let's go!"
She was extremely angry and eager to know the truth. She was so anxious that she even forgot about Tang Mingshan, who was in the carriage and could not move.
Fortunately, the driver was a fat man and strong enough, so he directly carried him on his back and placed him on a chair in the yard.
There were outsiders around, but no one made a sound.
As soon as they left, Chu Yunli immediately stepped forward and closed the door. Behind her, Jiang Huixin couldn't bear it any longer and asked, "That man surnamed Liu was waiting for me on my way home. Did you already know that?"
When Mother Jiang heard her granddaughter talking about her biological father, she had already guessed that her daughter would be asking about this matter when she came, and she had already prepared a response. Hearing this, he frowned: "What do you mean?"
Jiang Huixin rushed over and grabbed her collar: "I just had an accident and you had money to repair the house. You have to believe that this matter has nothing to do with you! Don't treat me as a fool."
Her eyes were blood red, as if she wanted to eat someone.
Mother Jiang pushed the person away impatiently.
She could sense that her daughter had used all her strength and was pushing with great force. Jiang Huixin was still ill, and she could hardly stand still under the grief and anger. After being pushed back by her, she fell to the ground. She fell.
He didn't get up, just lying on the ground crying.
Mother Jiang looked ugly: "You didn't tell me that Xiaoya's husband's family is her biological father's family."
"How did I know that you would get to know him?" Jiang Huixin roared with grief and anger, her voice shrill, "I always want to forget that and don't want to mention it!"
Mother Jiang frowned: "Keep your voice down and let outsiders hear you. It's not a good thing."
"You dare to do it, are you afraid that others will know?" Jiang Huixin had been crying for a long time on the way here. When she saw her mother, she was even more sad and angry. In her impulsiveness, she didn't care whether others would hear it. But after listening to her mother's reminder, she still
Now that I had some sense, I wiped my tears and asked, "Where did the money to build the house come from?"
When the question came out of her mouth, before her mother could speak, she emphasized: "Don't lie to me anymore. I can bring Liu over to confront you at any time."
"This matter..." Mother Jiang hesitated for a moment: "He came to the door and said he wanted to marry you."
Jiang Huixin rushed forward and pushed the man down: "I'm already married! It's not enough for you to accept the bride price once, and you want to sell me for a second time... I have never seen such a cruel mother like you!"
"I took away the money and didn't sell you, so don't go crazy." Mother Jiang held her daughter's hand that was making trouble on her face and scolded: "Where did you hear this?"
When she fell to the ground, she instantly made up her mind not to admit that her daughter was timid. The Liu Xicai family was wealthy and would never allow the Tang family to make this matter a big deal. They would definitely find a way to calm their daughter and son-in-law down later.
As long as everyone is satisfied, the truth of that year doesn't matter.
Jiang Huixin screamed: "You should tell me where the money comes from!"
Mother Jiang frowned and wanted her son-in-law to pull him away. When she raised her eyes, she saw Tang Mingshan standing still, and then her eyes fell on her granddaughter.
Chu Yunli did not step forward to start a fight, but stood aside and watched. In fact, Mother Jiang's attitude was already obvious just now, and this matter must have something to do with her.
"Xiaoya, don't just stand there, help your mother into the house quickly. She is already sick. If she catches a cold, it will be even more difficult to cure."
Chu Yunli still didn't move. After a while, she found that there was no one else in the yard except Jiang's mother. She asked out of curiosity: "Uncle, where are aunt and the others?"
Mother Jiang thought she was just talking and said casually: "We are all working outside. Your aunt is helping in the restaurant on the street. Now that she has finished her work, the children have gone to eat."
There are a lot of leftovers in the restaurant. If you don't mind it, you can fill the stomachs of several people.
Chu Yunli stepped up and left.
Seeing that she refused to help, Jiang's mother shouted: "If you want to leave, help your mother up first."
"This is a big matter, and I can't explain it to you alone. I'll go get my aunt and the others back." Chu Yunli opened the door without looking back.
Hearing this, Mother Jiang was so frightened that she threw the person over her body and threw herself towards the door: "No!"
Chu Yunli closed the door again and asked, "I want to know what happened back then."
Mother Jiang stamped her feet: "Isn't it okay?" Before speaking, she glanced at her daughter and son-in-law guiltily, and whispered: "Liu Xicai saw your mother on the street, thought she was not married yet, and inquired about the family.
.I refused outright at that time. It was because he refused to give up and deliberately waited on the road when your mother came home..."
Chu Yunli raised her hand to interrupt her: "Liu Xicai's family lives so far away, how do you know when my mother will return to her parents' home?"
As soon as the words came out, Jiang Huixin also looked over.
Mother Jiang was very agitated. At that time, her two daughters-in-law had not entered the house yet. They and their children must not let them know about this. She stamped her feet: "I said it!"
Jiang Huixin was no longer as excited as before, but her hatred did not diminish. She held her arm that was hurt by the fall and asked word by word: "How much money did he give you?"
"Just...just five taels." Mother Jiang finished weakly, and then said plausibly: "At that time, Mingshan said he was going to sell wild goods, and he was often away from home. Your parents-in-law had two medicine jars pointed at you to serve them all.
If someone named Liu doesn't care that you have been married once and is willing to marry you... your life will definitely be much easier, and I am thinking about you."
Five taels of silver is indeed enough to build a house. If you only build three rooms, you can still have some left.
Jiang Hui's heart collapsed: "He was already engaged at that time."
"We're not married yet..." Mother Jiang muttered. Seeing her daughter's eyes as if she wanted to kill someone, she immediately said, "I don't know. Seeing how sincere he is, I just wanted to let you two get to know each other first. Who knew he would come up?
What's that? Hui Xin, Mom has no bad intentions. She really wants to see how hard you work and wants you to live a good life."
Chu Yunli narrowed his eyes: "I heard that my uncle was very unsightly in the past few years. He lost a lot of money gambling, the most he lost was eight taels in one night?"
Jiang Huixin also knew these things. At that time, she was glad that her mother's family did not ask her to borrow the money, so she did not have to be in a dilemma between her mother's family and her mother-in-law's family.
Later, I heard my mother mention the debt. Looking back now, if I really owed eight taels of silver, it would be as if the sky was falling for the Jiang family... At that time, my mother's tone was anxious, but she was not that anxious. Let's talk about it later.
I didn't hear my mother talking anymore.
Her lips were trembling: "Did you also ask Liu to help pay those debts?"
