She was replaced by a husband, married the future tyrant and farmed to fight back

Chapter 36: Everything is afraid of comparison, whoever loses will be embarrassed

Mrs. Liu Jiang first went to her neighbor Aunt Liu's house.

When Aunt Liu learned that Liu Yingyue was going to marry into the poorest family in the village, the Qin family, she said a lot of sour words.

Liu Jiangshi told Aunt Liu that Madam Liu wanted to talk to her about something, and Aunt Liu immediately smiled and said, "Come right away."

Because she just got the news that someone from the Qin family came to collect the debt again.

She had to quickly tell Madam Liu this "good news".

Who asked the Liu family to occupy one foot of her land when building a new house?
Her family has few males, while the Liu family's main branch has many males. She can't afford to offend them. But can't she say a few "heartwarming words" to make Madam Liu so angry that she can't eat?
Humph, she will say it right away.

Aunt Liu held her grandson in her arms and happily went to the Liu family's main room.

Liu Jiang came to the second room of the Liu family again, "Second Aunt, my mother-in-law wants to talk to you about something."

Second Aunt Liu had just finished looking at a gold hairpin that Liu Xingyue had obtained, and wanted to go to the first house to show it off. When she saw the eldest daughter-in-law of the first house coming to invite her, she was more than happy to do so.

"Oh, I also have something to talk to your mother-in-law about. You go back first. I'll collect the thread on the sole of this shoe and come right back." She had to ask her daughter for the gold hairpin so that she could take it to the big house to show off.

The first wife married into the poor Qin family, so they probably can’t even afford silver hairpins. They can only buy copper ones as gold hairpins, right?
When Liu Jiang's words reached him, he went back.

Madam Liu Er entered her daughter's room and said, "Xing'er, come on, give me your gold hairpin."

Liu Xingyue came back earlier than Liu Yingyue.

Because after Liu Yingyue bought the jewelry, she went to help Qin Xiuzhu sell cakes and didn't return until after noon.

Gao Yucheng wanted to gamble again, so after buying jewelry for Liu Xingyue, he let Liu Xingyue take the ox cart back to the village by herself, and he went out to play alone.

Liu Xingyue was so happy that she was coaxed by Gao Yucheng. After returning home with the small gold hairpin worth five taels of silver, she sat in her bedroom and tried it on.

Sometimes I wear it on the left side, sometimes I wear it on the right side.

When Liu Xingyue saw Madam Liu reaching out her hand to ask for her gold hairpin, she was so scared that she quickly covered it with her hand, "Mother, why do you want my gold hairpin?"

Madam Liu Er likes to support her parents' family.

The young lady gave Liu Xingyue's earrings, hairpins, clothes, shoes, handkerchiefs and other items to her nieces from her mother's side.

Liu Xingyue knew her mother's temper very well, and she held on to her only gold hairpin tightly and refused to let go.

"Oh, I'll return it to you later." Madam Liu snatched Liu Xingyue's gold hairpin and turned away.

"Mom, are you going to send it to my aunt's house again? If you did, I... I will die in front of you!" Liu Xingyue was so anxious that she stomped her feet and chased after him, crying.

Madam Liu Er pushed her away and glared at her. "What nonsense are you talking about? If I want to give something away, it's the ones you don't want. I'll give them to your cousins. This gold hairpin is your dowry. How can I give it away? If I give it to the Gao family, won't they be dissatisfied?"

Liu Xingyue stopped crying and wiped her tears, "Mom, you really won't give away my hairpin?"

"I'll use it to piss off some people! How can I piss people off if I give it away?"

"Who are you angry at?" Liu Xingyue asked with a blink.

"Hehe, you'll know in a minute." Madam Liu waved her hand at Liu Xingyue, "Stay in the room and go embroider your wedding dress. Don't let that stupid girl from the first room outdo your wedding dress. I'll be back soon."

"Okay, Mom, please come back soon." Liu Xingyue glanced at the two pieces of scarlet cloth on the bed and nodded quickly.

This was bought by Gao Yucheng at the market street today. She had to finish the wedding dress before May 22nd.

This is top-quality fine cloth, and it costs sixty cents a foot.

Gao Yucheng bought it without blinking an eye. Rich people are indeed generous.

The Qin family was extremely poor and owed several hundred taels of silver. They were lucky enough to be able to buy a piece of red coarse cloth for Liu Yingyue, and would never buy good fine cloth.

Liu Xingyue held the cloth in her hands, the corners of her lips raised with pride.

Although her embroidery skills are not as good as Liu Yingyue's, her fabrics are worse than Liu Yingyue's. When they get married on the same day in the future, people in the village will envy her wedding dress and jewelry, and will laugh at Liu Yingyue for marrying a poor man who can't even afford a good wedding dress.

She held the cloth and went to the mirror to look at her face.

There were no jewelry on her hair, but after a while, the Gao family would send her jewelry.

With the one her mother took just now, her hair will definitely be full of gold ornaments, which will make Liu Yingyue's pair of shabby hairpins look inferior.

"I know, I know. Don't worry, I'll bring it back in a while." Madam Liu waved to her daughter and took the jewelry box to the Liu family's main room.
-
It was rare for Liu Yingyue to see her mother smile. Seeing her holding the jewelry box proudly and waiting for people to come and show it off, she shook her head in amusement.

After a while, neighbor Aunt Liu came with her grandson.

"Mother Yingyue, what do you want to talk to me about?" Aunt Liu noticed that Madam Liu was holding a jewelry box with a smile on her face, and raised her eyebrows in confusion.

The daughter is about to marry into the poorest Qin family in the village, but the Liu family is secretly happy?
How heartless.

"Well, Yingyue is getting married, and I'm worried about what jewelry to choose for her, so I'm asking you to help me with some ideas." Madam Liu said with a sigh.

"Hey, Aunt Yingyue, it's useless to choose any jewelry. You should worry about other important things." Aunt Liu said while patting her thigh after sitting down.

"What's the matter?" Madam Liu asked calmly, placing the jewelry box on the table.

"I just passed by the Qin family and saw several people blocking the door, asking Madam Qin for debts. Alas, how can Yingyue, such an honest child, cope with marrying into a family like that? Madam Yingyue, don't worry about the jewelry. No matter how good the jewelry is, it is to help pay off the debt." Aunt Liu shook her head.

"Who are you helping to pay off the debt?" Madam Liu Er walked in, looked at Aunt Liu and Madam Liu Da, and asked with a smile.

Could it be about the Qin family? In this village, the Qin family is the one that owes the most debts, and creditors always come to their door.

"Whose family could it be? The Qin family, Yingyue's future husband's family." Aunt Liu sighed.

"Ah? This, this, this..." Madam Liu Er pretended to be surprised and looked at Liu Yingyue who was playing with Aunt Liu's grandson, "Yingyue, why are you so miserable?"

Madam Liu's face darkened and she snorted, "Yes, Yingyue has a miserable life. The Qin family only brought a few pieces of shabby jewelry. I invited you here to let you see if these pieces of jewelry are wearable."

She opened the jewelry box on the table and called Madam Liu and Aunt Liu to look at it.

When Aunt Liu saw the pile of sparkling jewelry in the box, she was stunned.

Because she had never seen so much gold jewelry.

As for Madam Liu Er, she clutched her daughter's small jewelry box tightly in her hand and wanted to run away out of shame.

She secretly thanked her luck that she didn't take it out first.

Otherwise, wouldn’t you be laughed to death by the sisters-in-law in the first wife’s house?
She only had one gold hairpin, but there was a box of gold jewelry in the main room!
Madam Liu Da saw that Madam Liu Er was holding a jewelry box in her arms. She raised her eyebrows and asked, "Second Madam, what box are you holding in your arms? Oh, it looks like a jewelry box, right? It's the same box as our Yingyue's."

"Ah, no, that's right, sister-in-law, I have something else to do, I have to go back." Madam Liu Er hugged the box and turned away.

Madam Liu won't let her go, so she runs so fast?
Is there a ghost?

"Xingyue is going to marry into the Gao family. The Gao family must have bought a lot of jewelry for Xingyue, right? Let me see what they bought." Madam Liu snatched the box from Madam Liu's arms without saying a word.
