Chapter 36 The old aunt died unbearably
This is the kind of reaction that Mei Guerlain wants from them.

"When my mother was a housekeeper, I once helped her read the account books. I knew that my aunt had saved a small fortune during her lifetime. It was about 3000 taels. It should be enough to add makeup to my eldest sister, right?" Mei Guerlain laughed. Ask.

"This... how can this be possible!" Ms. Jiang really didn't expect that Mei Jiaolan would think of this.

"This is absolutely not allowed!" Mrs. Jiang was afraid that Mei Yongkang would consider that bitch's opinion, so she stood up and said, "Old man, don't listen to her. The relics left by the old aunt cannot be used to add makeup to A Tao. Ah, that’s against the rules!”

Mei Jiaolan said with a smile: "Why is it against the rules? Second aunt, please tell me. My grandma's share is included in my dowry, and my grandma is no longer alive. Neither my mother nor I dislike it. If we still use her legacy, why can’t we get it to the eldest sister? Do the second aunt and the eldest sister think the things left by the old aunt are dirty? "

"You..." Mrs. Jiang was so angry that stars appeared in her eyes.

Everyone in the hall looked at each other in confusion. Seeing Mrs. Jiang looking like she was about to faint from anger, they all felt that today was really not in vain. The lively life of the Mei family was getting better and better.

Regarding what Mei Jiaolan said, what is the origin behind it? Everyone is from the Mei family, and they are like a mirror in their hearts.

The grandmother in Mei Jiaolan's mouth does not refer to the Xu family, but to Mei Yongkang's original wife Wei. She gave birth to three sons and three daughters for Mei Yongkang. She is the biological mother of Mei Yuanda, the elder Mei, and is Mei Jiaolan's biological grandmother. .

And the so-called old aunt is Mei Yongkang's deceased concubine, Mrs. Zhang.

Mrs. Zhang is the biological mother of Mei's second master, Mei Yuanyuan.

According to what Mei Jiaolan said, it is normal for the daughter of each eldest daughter to get married and use her grandmother's legacy to add to her betrothal. If the second eldest daughter is not willing, it means that the second eldest daughter is difficult to deal with and cannot be dismissed.

Li'er is this Li'er, but the key point is that Zhang's death was not honorable back then.

As for how Zhang died, it has been so long that no one can remember the specific details. They only vaguely remember that when Mrs. Wei gave birth to her third daughter, she died in childbirth. Everyone just thought that she was old and had an accident. It's normal.

Unexpectedly, a month later, a maid suddenly reported that Zhang, the concubine, had plotted to murder the mistress!

At that time, Mrs. Wei's natal family was still powerful. When she heard that her daughter might have been killed, she immediately asked the Mei family to conduct a thorough investigation.

The elders of the Mei family did not dare to neglect, so they arrested all the slaves related to the matter and tortured them. During this interrogation, something was really revealed.

According to the confidant mother-in-law who served Mrs. Zhang, Mrs. Zhang was cunning and gained Mrs. Wei's trust. When Mrs. Wei was pregnant and expecting to give birth, she assisted in the management of the Mei Mansion and was also responsible for Mrs. Wei's food and daily life.

With this convenience, she added enough aconite to the tranquilizing medicine that Mrs. Wei drank every day!
Aconite is the most taboo thing for pregnant women!
Mrs. Wei took a sedative drug mixed with aconite for several months. After giving birth to her daughter, she took pills mixed with aconite and died on the same day.

At that time, after Zhang was exposed, he desperately denied it.The Mei family was afraid that the scandal would be publicized, and wanted to demote the family, but they could not bear the pressure from the Wei family, so they had to issue an order to punish the Zhang family.

As for what happened next, everyone only knows that Zhang hanged himself not long after.

It was said that he was hanged, but according to the people who moved the corpse, his neck was strangled. Have you ever seen a person who hanged himself and his neck was completely broken, leaving only a little bit of skin attached?
Although the Mei family did not report the birth of a son, nor did they deprive Zhang of her status, and still buried her in the ancestral grave as an aunt, everyone in the Mei family knew that she was really dead. Unbearable!

Not only was it unbearable, it was also very ominous.After her tragic death, Mei Mansion could not find peace for a long time, and they had to do a lot of rituals to suppress their anger.

Now, Mei Jiaolan mentioned using the Zhang family's relics to add beauty to Mei Zhutao. When the people of the Mei family heard this, they immediately knew what Mei Jiaolan had in mind.

If the relics left behind by a person who died in vain are used in daily life, the endurance will be over, and they can be used to add makeup. Isn't that a living curse on the bride?Most people will definitely not be able to stand it!
The tribesmen were all secretly surprised. This Guerlain girl didn't realize how cruel she was!

Mei Yongkang in the hall also frowned after hearing Mei Guerlain's "suggestion".

However, he doesn't think that Mei Guerlain is cruel. He doesn't care whether it's bad luck or not. As long as there is something that can make up for the dowry and does not involve his personal property, he doesn't care even if he goes to rob graves and dig up dead people's belongings. .

It's not like he was saddened by the reminder of his dark past.A wife and a concubine are like two dead people to him.Now that he has the Xu family and several beauties, he is too lazy to think about those dead ghosts.There are so many women that there is no need to put too much thought into one person.

What's more, the Wei family pushed him too hard back then because of Mrs. Wei, and he still resents Mrs. Wei, and even dislikes the son and three daughters she left behind.If he hadn't breathed a sigh of relief when the Wei family fell later, he would have hated Dafang even more now.

What really worries Mei Yongkang is that Mei Guerlain is getting more and more aggressive.

As soon as he gave her a little face, she couldn't wait to push her nose into his face.

"It's not good for A Tao to marry the eldest son of the county government and use old things left by others to add to his beauty. It's better to think of other ways." Mei Yongkang said seemingly impartially.

Mei Jiaolan glanced at him and said with a smile: "What else can I do? Does grandpa want us to have the eldest son, the third uncle and the third aunt, or the grandma and sister-in-law? If it doesn't work, let everyone here Uncles and uncles, let’s chip in. If each family contributes 100 taels, we can always make up for the eldest sister’s dowry!”

As soon as she said this, Zhu and others couldn't help laughing.

I have never heard of people eating from hundreds of families, but I have never heard of a dowry that needs to be collected from hundreds of families!

Mrs. Jiang was so angry that she gritted her teeth, while Mei Zhutao's face turned red with embarrassment. She had just finished crying and now she was wiping her tears again.

"Second sister, I have explained the matter with Huo Zhaogang to you many times. Even if you hate me again, you won't humiliate me like this!"

Mei Jiaolan smiled coldly and thought to herself, what kind of explanation is that?Considering all the things you did to me in this life, even insulting you is considered a minor matter!
She was disgusted with Mei Zhutao pretending to be pitiful, so she turned around and said to Mei Yongkang: "Grandpa, since everyone's money can't be touched, we can only use your private property. Do you think that's okay?"

Mei Jiaolan helps her mother with the accounting. Although she has not seen Mei Yongkang's personal account book with her own eyes, she can roughly estimate that the old man's small treasury is definitely a lot of money, let alone adding makeup to Mei Zhutao. Even if the dowry gifts are arranged for all the men and women in the family, it is more than enough.

The bad thing about being pregnant is that Mei Yongkang is an out-and-out iron rooster.

As Mei Guerlain expected, as soon as she said the words, Mei Yongkang almost jumped up as if he had poked a tiger in the butt.

"Nonsense! When the children of the Mei family get married, they use the money of their biological parents. How can there be any reason to use the private property of the elders? I am not dead yet, and you are going to take advantage of me one by one. What a filial son and grandson! "
