Concubine's three acres of pastoral garden

Chapter 9
Mrs. Zhang's face turned blue when she heard Delai's big talk, but she still couldn't find a rebuttal.

Xianglai looked around and saw that everyone was looking at her, seeming to be very interested in listening, so she continued: "Although the family ugliness should not be publicized, I still want to speak clearly today and let everyone give a fair judgment... …Brother Dachang got married only last spring, may I ask Auntie, how much money did you save at that time?"

Seeing her looking at him, Mrs. Zhang turned her head to the side bitterly, and the head of Shen Wanjin beside her also lowered lower and lower.

At this time, Chen Xianglai really couldn't take care of his too many feelings, so he could only try his best to turn the conversation to Mrs. Zhang, and continued: "At that time, my aunt only had ten taels of silver, but the gift money of Wu's family was 50 taels. I left the five cows for my sister-in-law to be the property of my sister-in-law. At that time, the eldest aunt couldn't even get half of it, so she cried and begged my parents. Aunt made it difficult, and asked my father to pawn her last piece of jewelry in exchange for 100 taels of silver and gave it to my aunt, and then let you buy a cow, pass the bride price, and take Zhaodi's sister-in-law over!"

Seeing her revealing all these, Xiang Lai Niang couldn't hold back, she stretched out her hand and said, "Xiang Lai, why do you have the nerve to say such things, but a pair of earrings..."

Xianglai didn't stop because of her obstruction, and took her hand and said loudly: "Mother, a pair of earrings is a small thing to you, but it's just a little bit big! But it's 100 taels of silver, and after changing five cows, there is still a lot of money left." You can marry a living man back home! In your eyes, this is a trivial matter, but in the eyes of others, it is a big deal for you to eat a bowl of rice every meal. They will say that you eat free food! How much rice can you exchange for 100 taels of silver? , can you eat enough from life to death? How many houses and acres of land can 100 taels of silver buy? Is it enough for the four of us to live in peace and stability for the rest of our lives? Telling how much you owed others and how much you used them, now you are about to be kicked out, why don't you tell everyone?!"

At this point, Mrs. Zhang finally answered the conversation, and shouted over there: "What are you talking about with a red mouth and white teeth, who wants to kick you out of the house? Didn't I say that you can live in that house!"

Chen Xianglai sneered and said: "What do you mean we can live? That is our house! Even if Grandpa gave you the original homestead, but if you want to buy it with money, the homeland bought by my parents with the money to pay off the debt is cheaper than The Shen family has a large number now, so [-]% of the house now belongs to us! If you want to say that this is yours or that is yours, you can clearly count the money spent by my parents over the years, one cent Pay back a cent, and the four of us mothers will leave with the money, so I won't take advantage of you here!"

"you you……"

Zhang's face was flushed with anger, don't talk about these years, just for Shen Dachang's marriage, the couple would not be able to make it even if they went bankrupt, and it would be impossible for Wu Zhaodi to spit it out, so Zhang's hatred His hands and feet were shaking but he couldn't speak.

Seeing that Mrs. Zhang was so angry, and Shen Wanjin sitting there holding her head in silence, Xianglai Niang really didn't want to embarrass him to this extent, so she pulled Xianglai again and said angrily: "Xianglai, stop talking! Are you As a junior, how can there be such a reason to contradict the elders!"

Seeing that her mother was really angry and that she had said what she wanted to say, Xianglai stopped talking for a while and looked at Mrs. Zhang angrily.

Xianglai Niang said: "Brother, sister-in-law, Xianglai's children are ignorant, and they really shouldn't run into you. I'm here to apologize to you on her behalf..."

Shen Wanjin still held his head and did not speak, Zhang's face was livid and said: "Hmph! We dare not take it, your Xianglai is very powerful, we can't take our uncle and aunt in your eyes, and we dare not have such a promising niece!"

Xiang Lai Niang pursed her lips, and said again: "Sister-in-law, don't be angry, she can't take what she said is true, our family is still my decision, how to divide it and how to divide it, I have no intention of reversing the old score."

Even though she said that, just now Xianglai made the old affairs of the two families very clear. If she followed what Mrs. Zhang said just now, it is hard to say that the people present would not stand it, and they would all stand up for Xianglai's mother and daughter.

For a while the scene froze there.

Sitting in the middle, Wu Dequan blinked his eyes for a while, laughed dryly and laughed twice, and said, "This... Seeing what Xianglai means, it seems that he doesn't want to separate the family, or let's just forget it!"

Xiang Lai Niang knew that he agreed to let Wu Zhaodi come back regardless of the separation of the family, but after such a commotion, I am afraid that the next day will be more bearable, so she said: "Since everything has been said, there is no separation Reasonable, as before, I will write the paperwork."

Talking and looking at Wu Zhaodi's mother, Zhao Di's mother smiled awkwardly, then turned around and went out of the crowd to find a pen and paper.

Xianglai didn't expect that this "mother" would be so kind, she would give away what she had won after she had explained everything clearly.If she blindly acts as a good person, then she can only pretend to be a villain to the end.So he said again: "No, this family is not just for my mother, even if I'm a girl who can't talk, but there are my second aunt and Tianlai, mother, you gave away everything like this, what will happen when Tianlai grows up? Although I don't really want the uncle's family to repay anything, we must not lose the share we deserve!"

"Xianglai!" Xianglai's mother stopped her again, but her daughter's words made sense, and she didn't know how to refute.

Wu Dequan saw that Xianglai's family could no longer be in charge today, and Xianglai no longer spoke as aggressively as before, and asked tentatively: "Then Xianglai girl, how do you think this family will be divided?"

Xianglai said: "For the sake of uncle's treatment of us, even if he doesn't want anything, he will not let our family starve to death, but after all, uncle's family is not owned by him alone. I think it is worse than this. Parents took it before Don't mention the money, it's all about fulfilling the brotherhood between uncle and dad, but the house built by dad must be ours, and the land opened by the two families will be added to five, half of the family."

Wu Dequan and Mrs. Zhang didn't speak, but they didn't nod. No matter how the whole house belonged to Xianglai's family, they couldn't agree.

Xiang Lai Niang understood the thoughts of the two of them, and made a concession again, saying: "Xiang is right, I really should make a plan for Tian Lai, otherwise, as for the house, whoever lives in it now belongs to that house. Just separate the land that was opened later.”

After hearing this, Mrs. Zhang's face looked a little better, her eyes rolled a little, and she pretended to be generous and said, "Since this is the case, we brothers and sisters-in-law don't care too much. If you don't fight for the house, then we won't fight with you." You fight for that bit of land, and the later land is in Nanshan, which is far away for work, so we will keep it, and the three acres of old fields are close, and they all belong to you!"
