Chapter 37 It’s reasonable to use old things when you’re ruined
Mei Yongkang was so angry that he had an asthma attack. Mr. Xu patted his back for a long time and drank a big sip of tea before he regained his composure.

Thinking that he had lost his composure, he covered his mouth and coughed a few more times, then added: "Besides, if I set this precedent, I will be in charge of A Tao's dowry today. In the future, when other brothers and sisters get married, will they all take care of me asking for money?" Did it happen? Doesn’t it mean that the rules have been broken? Therefore, we must not set this precedent!"

The old guy said it righteously, but Mei Jiaolan only smiled softly and said: "In that case, I can only do what I just said and use the old aunt's belongings as a dowry for the eldest sister. The father-in-law will also contribute half of it. , almost 6000 taels, which is worthy of being a big sister!"

"No, no!" Ms. Jiang was about to cry and yelled at Mr. Mei Yongkang, "After all, A Tao is marrying the prince of the county. How can you treat her like this? You can use dead people's things to make up for it. What else can you do?" It’s only a mere 6000 taels! Grandma Lan brought a full 26000 taels when she got married. Old man, you can’t be so partial just because they are the first wife and we are the concubine!”

Mei Yongkang was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, "It's such a nonsense. How can you behave like a common woman in the market?"

"What are you talking about about a dead person? That dead person is your man's mother. Just saying these words to you will make me divorce you!"

"Of course Ah Tao married the heir apparent, but is she still a young lady now? Her body is broken, so why not use some old things? You allow your daughter to do such scandalous things, I I don’t even care about you, but you are getting more and more unruly!”

"That's it. Half of Ah Tao's dowry will be paid by the father-in-law, and the remaining half will be filled in with the things left by Mrs. Zhang. If you, the second wife, are not willing, you can borrow the money yourself!"

After saying that, he walked away, leaving behind a large room of people.

Mei Jiaolan watched the old guy leave and couldn't help but smile and shake her head.
This old guy really lives up to his reputation of being hard-boiled.You talk so high-sounding, but in the final analysis, you still don’t care about your own money?
……

The old man left, and Mrs. Jiang collapsed on the ground and cried heartbrokenly.

She failed miserably today. She tried to knock on the big house but failed, and instead she smashed her own head.

People in the Mei clan are well aware of the virtues of Mrs. Mei. They are usually afraid of her power and don't bother to meddle in other people's affairs when they see her bullying the eldest family member.Now, she was slapped in the face by the old man himself, and many people who had been bullied by her were making fun of her.

"Ouch, she's just the daughter-in-law of a concubine, and her husband's biological mother is a decapitated ghost. She doesn't know how to keep a low profile. Look, she will be punished!"

"Who says it's not the case? Speaking of which, this second wife is fundamentally evil. Mrs. Zhang murdered her mistress, and the son she gave birth to coveted her direct descendants. The granddaughter she gave birth to was a man who robbed her younger sister. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, she really agreed. In that case, it doesn’t mean that one family does not enter the same house!”

Everyone whispered and left in groups.

Except for the second roommate's own people, no one went to comfort Mrs. Jiang. Mrs. Zhu from the third room only gave a few token words of persuasion, and followed the others away without caring whether Mrs. Jiang heard it or not.

……

Coming out of Songhe Zhai, Mei Jiaolan helped Sun and walked in front, followed by Yingchun and other maids.

The second wife was depressed, and Mrs. Sun was in a much better mood.

She calmed down and had more things to think about.

"Guerlain." Ms. Sun held her daughter's hand and said, "It was my mother who was too impulsive just now, which made people laugh. You must not imitate your mother. If you are wronged in the Wu family, you must not cry at will. , only with a calm mind and long-term planning is the best."

When Mei Jiaolan heard this, she couldn't help but roll her eyes.

This old mother has a quick temper and always loses her temper at critical moments.Not hard when it should be hard, not soft when it should be soft.I finally managed to stand up just now, but now I'm about to shrink back again.

Mei Jiaolan said angrily: "It's right to take a long-term view, but you can't be too tolerant. My mother said that my daughter can't imitate you, which is true. But let me tell you, the last thing a daughter should learn is your blindness towards her father. Indulgence! If Wu Moyun dares to do this to me, I will definitely not show mercy!"

At this moment, someone who was lying down and reading in Qingfeng Pavilion sneezed three times.

"You..." Mrs. Sun quickly looked around and said through gritted teeth, "Ancestor, where did you learn this weird temperament? Have you ever said that about your man?" Speaking of men, Mrs. Sun suddenly Thinking of something, she couldn't help but frown and said worriedly: "Guerlain, to be serious, if you make such a fuss today, aren't you afraid that the evil people in the second room will retaliate against us in the future? That Mei Zhutao is married to a county official. Prince, the Wu family you married into is incomparable to the Huo family she married into! If she really wants to encourage the Huo family to deal with the Wu family, can your father-in-law and your man be their opponent?"

Sun's worries are not unreasonable. Not to mention the disparity in strength between the Huo and Wu families, Mei Zhutao and Jiang are definitely capable of fanning the flames and counterattacking.

Her daughter's future is foreseeably difficult.

Mei Jiaolan smiled calmly, "Mom, there's no need to worry. When the time comes, they themselves will be too anxious to take care of themselves, so how can they care about plotting against others?"

Mei Jiaolan has experienced her past life, so she knows what will happen in the future, and she will definitely seize the opportunity and never give her second wife a chance to hurt her.

Ms. Sun didn't know this, she held her daughter's hand and shook her head, "Oh, this person cannot be cursed to death. If you didn't curse her to be unlucky, she would definitely be unlucky."

Mei Jiaolan smiled, said nothing, supported her mother, and took the maid back to Mingyue Zhai.

……

On the other side, Erfang and his family also returned to Yongxiangyuan.

Mei Yuanyuan made a fuss with the old man and had a headache when she thought about going back to her home and having to listen to Ms. Jiang's thoughts.

Then he thought of Feng Wei's wife, whom he had just slept with a few days ago, and felt itchy in his heart, and he didn't even want to go in.

"Where are you going?" Mrs. Jiang held him back and refused to let him go.

"You care where I go?" Unexpectedly, Mei Yuanyuan threw her away and said angrily: "Look at your bad idea, you must have made a fool of yourself! You didn't get any benefit, and you got a slap in the face! You mother and daughter Go ahead and destroy this home sooner or later!"

With that said, he left with his personal servant.

Mrs. Jiang was so angry that her heart ached. She dragged Mei Zhutao into the hospital. Before she could sit down, she started crying: "Ah Tao, my mother's future stable life depends on you!"

Mei Zhutao carefully covered her belly and said: "As long as I can give birth to this child, even if it is a daughter, it will be enough to stabilize my position in the Huo family. With the support of the Zhongshan County Government, are you afraid of suffering a loss?"

Hearing this, Mrs. Jiang hurriedly patted Mei Zhutao's belly, and shouted heartily: "My good grandson, grandma is pointing at you. You must strive for it and avenge grandma in the future. You will be punished to death." That little bitch!”

Mei Zhutao glanced out the window and was filled with hatred, "I will definitely pay back the humiliation I suffered today a thousand times or ten thousand times in the future!"

She had already thought about how she would torture Mei Guerlain in the future.

"Girl, you don't have to be angry for the cheap person that day, you don't have to be so angry!" The maid Lijuan took the teacup from another maid Lanzhen and handed it to Mei Zhutao, "Girl, drink some water to calm down. "

Mei Zhutao took the tea and drank a few sips. Suddenly she remembered something and asked Mrs. Jiang, "Mom, what should I do now? You are not really going to use that dead person's thing to add makeup to me, are you?"

Mrs. Jiang was stunned when she heard this, and Xiao Lian, who looked at her daughter, was suddenly stuck.

"A Tao..."
