The eldest brother of Uncle Gong Jian’s mother-in-law still remembers that he saw it at that time and did not stop him. After all, he was not able to buy any jewelry for his mother-in-law. Often every year when he wanted to give something to her, he could only
I went to the mountains, cut some wood and came back to make some wooden hairpins for her.
As for such expensive silver jewelry, he had never owned one, and his family couldn't afford it. So when he saw his mother-in-law wearing the silver ring on her hand, he really couldn't ask her to hand it over.
He took it in exchange for money and let the mother-in-law stay with him acquiescing.
At that time, he also reminded his mother-in-law not to take it out during the recent period. After all, if her sister saw it, she should have pawned it for money. The silver ring that was used to treat her mother's illness appeared in her sister-in-law's house.
It's hard for both of them to explain.
And his mother-in-law did listen to his reminder. She didn't wear it in those years. Until several years later, seeing that this matter had been forgotten by both parties,
His mother-in-law secretly put this ring on her finger.
They had been wearing it for several years, and even the originally shiny ring was now a little tarnished. The couple had become accustomed to it, and no one else noticed this.
But he didn't expect that his sister would be so sharp-eyed today and suddenly discover this ring. And he really used that excuse to get this ring by deceiving him. At this time, he really couldn't open his mouth to say anything.
, I originally lied to you at that time, and this ring was given to your sister-in-law.
If he said this, Uncle Gong Jian's eldest brother would feel that his IQ was not up to par, but what should he say? He could only deny it and said firmly: "Sister, you are wrong, that ring came later.
I bought it for your sister-in-law."
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished saying this, Uncle Gong Jian had already walked in front of him. He also glanced at his sister-in-law who was hiding behind his uncle. The eyes of his uncle and sister-in-law were obviously weak, which showed that his mother-in-law
What he said just now is the truth, so he let out a sneer and said.
"Brother, you are really capable. I really didn't expect that you are willing to spend money to buy jewelry for my sister-in-law. Let me see. I was so far away just now. I really couldn't see clearly whether it is silver or gold.
What? Big brother is so powerful. He doesn’t usually take action, but this action is extraordinary."
The sarcasm in his tone was clear. Uncle Gong Jian's eldest brother also knew that his brother-in-law was speaking sarcastically, but what could he do? The situation had reached this point, forcing him to persist.
So he gritted his teeth and continued to speak harshly: "No, I have gone through a lot of trouble for this ring. I have not been idle in the past few years, and I have been working hard to save money, so I bought such a small ring for your sister-in-law.
.”
He specifically focused on the adjective "small", hoping that the couple would let them go because it was just a small ring. After all, the ring was very light, and it would not be possible to exchange it for money even if it was taken outside.
A few copper coins. I just hope that my brother-in-law and my brother-in-law don't look down on this ring.
But what he doesn't know is that the current situation of his sister and brother-in-law's family is actually similar to theirs. What's a little better than them is that they don't have to worry about food and clothing. In terms of money, the level of the two families is really almost the same.
If he knew, he would definitely kill him and not let his mother-in-law bring a ring to his brother-in-law's house. Every time he wished, he should have dressed in rags. Only then could he dare to come to his sister-in-law's house.
Avoid being plundered by them.
Of course, if he really knew, he wouldn't come to his door. He would hide as far as he could, but he was afraid.
When his brother-in-law was transformed from an ally to an enemy, Uncle Gong Jian's eldest brother finally realized how powerful his brother-in-law was. It's no wonder that he was able to seize all the family property for himself so many years ago.
In his hands, he almost brought his younger brother's family to a close, and the bullied family was ruined.
At this moment, Uncle Gong Jian's mother-in-law's eldest brother realized that the man he usually drank with, laughed and chatted with, and listened to his flattery was long gone. The man in front of him had his mouth wide open and wanted to kill the couple.
A monster swallowed into the belly.
Sure enough, after what he said just now, it was actually a disguised begging for mercy. He only hoped that his brother-in-law and his family would be noble and let them go.
But the wishes are beautiful, but the reality is often disappointing. I heard Uncle Gong Jian continue to say: "Hey, what year is this in the almanac? Why can't I remember which year my uncle went out to work?
days.
After all, it’s not easy for you to have enough food and clothing every day in the mountains. When you open your eyes, you’ll see a family of several people asking for food. I don’t even know how my uncle, who has such a big heart, can still provide...
Sister-in-law buys a ring."
Facing Uncle Gong Jian's pressing step by step, Uncle Gong Jian's eldest brother could only protect his wife and slowly retreat. He really regretted why he didn't read the almanac today and had to come see this family.
How could he still feel so amiable when this family treated others in this way? Now it was his turn, and he realized how uncomfortable it felt to be targeted.
He was just about to turn around and pull his mother-in-law to leave quickly. After all, they couldn't defeat them, and they couldn't hide from them. At worst, they would come to his brother-in-law's house again in a few days, and by then they guaranteed that they wouldn't have anything valuable on them.
But before he could put it into practice, the door of the main room behind him was blocked by someone. Uncle Gong Jian's mother-in-law took a closer look, only to find that it was him who was sitting on the chair with a sad face and some tears on his face.
nephew.
I don't know when this kid got up from the stool, and when no one was paying attention, he walked to the door of the hall, completely blocking his way out.
Seeing his little nephew blocking the door, Uncle Gong Jian's mother-in-law broke into a cold sweat. He turned around with some trembling, facing his sister behind him, and looked at her with his most sincere eyes.
He hoped that his sister would let the couple go and let them leave here quickly for the sake of their close kinship. But under his eager gaze, Aunt Gong Jian just looked coldly.
He turned his head to the other side and there was no other reaction.
Uncle Gong Jian's eldest brother was a little disappointed and turned his eyes to his brother-in-law again. He asked with some trembling: "Sister, sister, brother-in-law, what are you going to do?" (To be continued)
