"Grandma said it, so of course the grandson will obey, but it can't just be the grandson who turns it in, right? The eldest lady is the oldest, so should we start with her?"
Jiang Yubai knew that everyone in the Jiang family was extremely selfish.
Staring at Ji Qingqian's things was just to occupy them.
Chengshi trembled all over, but she didn't expect Jiang Yubai to turn the trouble on herself and ask her to hand it over to the old lady?
How is that possible?
"Mom, you also know that although there are many people in our room, there are really not many things sent. Besides, there are only so many things on the road, and the gifts are all for the children, so there is no need to divide them. Alright?"
Mrs. Cheng opened the bag and showed it to everyone. It was just their family's clothes.
and several banknotes.
"Mom, after all, my daughter-in-law is Jiang's eldest daughter-in-law! She should set an example! Let's do this. My daughter-in-law pays 20 taels to honor my mother."
She gritted her teeth, her heart bleeding. She didn't value twenty taels before, it was just money for a box of rouge and gouache, but now she had to plan carefully.
Jiang Yubai smiled coldly.
"Auntie is really good at joking. Just now Yu Bai saw that your mother's family gave more than three hundred taels of silver. Why did you only give twenty taels to honor your grandmother? Are you the eldest daughter-in-law?"
Cheng was shocked and wondered why he had seen it. She must have been too happy just now and forgot to put the money away. She gave Jiang Yubai a cold look and scolded:
"Jiang Yubai, what are you talking about? If I had it, wouldn't I take it out? Besides, I am your elder. Do you know etiquette? How dare you question me?"
Jiang Yubai smiled.
He casually picked up a stone and threw it lightly at the baggage Jiang Zhiyan was carrying.
"Snapped"
The baggage fell to the ground, revealing ten white silver notes and hundreds of taels of silver.
"Zhiyan, what are you doing?"
Mrs. Cheng yelled angrily and was extremely panicked. It was all the money given to her by her mother-in-law, but she didn't know why it fell out of the bag.
When Ji Qingqian saw this, he went to the side and said, "Hey, Madam, why don't you show your true face? Your parents are very kind to you, but we believe you will be better to your grandmother, right? Don't say that there are also five hundred taels of silver here. ?”
Cheng's face instantly darkened.
Mrs. Jiang looked at her with a reproachful look. She said that Ji Qingqian had received a lot of money, but in the end, she kept a lot of it herself.
"From the Yubai family, you have such a sweet mouth! I will naturally be filial to the old lady in private, but what about you? It seems that I am a little reluctant to leave you? After all, you don't take the Jiang family to heart, do you?"
Ji Qing smiled lightly.
"It's not that I don't want to. You can take a look at my backpack. There seems to be nothing that you can use."
She opened the backpack, which contained a few pairs of broken straw sandals, a pack of dry food, and two water bladders, but the rest was gone.
Everyone was shocked!
Is this what the Shen family brought?
Is this worthy of Madam’s concern?
Mrs. Jiang and the eldest lady both looked ugly, especially the eldest lady. She simply shot herself in the foot. The money had been exposed and she had to give half of it to the old lady.
But Ji Qingqian didn't have anything valuable at all.
Could it be that she saw it wrong and was dazzled? She regretted it so much that she wanted to slap herself twice.
The second lady stretched her neck to take a look, and sneered: "In the Yubai family, the elders and sisters-in-law can hide their secrets. Who knows whether you have hidden your secrets or not!"
Ji Qingqian sighed when he heard this and said pitifully:
"Everyone has seen that what came today is either a divorce letter, how could she give me something, or Qingqian's two cousins, they are just unmarried daughters, what money can they have?
It's just a sisterhood, just come and see Qingqian off if you want. "
Others heard what she said and thought it was indeed true.
It's just that the eldest lady Cheng Xiaoluo's face turned pale and red. She didn't expect that she was the one who suffered the loss. She cast her cold eyes on the second sibling. She couldn't bear the loss alone, right?
"Second brother and sister, your mother's family also gave you a lot. Shouldn't you use some to honor your mother?"
The second lady, Ji Yunhe, was so angry that she almost threw away the brocade handkerchief in her hand.
Is there something wrong with Cheng Xiaoluo's brain?
She was clearly speaking for her just now, but now Cheng Xiaoluo actually turned the gun around and hit herself?
Although there were many twists and turns in my heart, it didn't show up at all on my face.
She smiled slightly and said, "My mother-in-law's family did not bring as many things as my sister-in-law's family. Everyone saw that except for some clothes and dry food, there was nothing else. The money was only about forty or fifty taels, which was less than a tenth of what my sister-in-law's family had." One.
But even so, the daughter-in-law is still willing to give half of it to the old lady, which is her wish. Zhixi, send the money that mother prepared to your grandmother. You really do. Mother asked you to send it there a long time ago, but you delayed it. "
Jiang Zhixi stuck out her tongue and said awkwardly:
"I'm sorry, mother. It was my daughter who forgot. She deserves a beating. My daughter will send the money to her grandmother right now."
Jiang Zhixi smiled and wrapped the money and handed it to Mrs. Jiang respectfully.
Mrs. Jiang nodded with satisfaction.
Looking at Jiang Zhixi with a kind face, "Your mother is a filial person, but you, the little girl is always forgetful. Don't be like this in the future. Don't imitate your eldest cousin and try to deceive your grandmother about everything."
"Yes, grandma, my granddaughter knows."
Jiang Zhixi smiled mischievously and returned to her mother. She smiled and admired her mother. It was clear that her grandfather had taken 600 taels of silver, but no one saw it.
Her mother secretly hid the money in the soles of her shoes.
Jiang Zhiyan blushed with anger when she heard this. She glared at Jiang Zhixi and said to herself: Xiao Lang Hoozi, don't be so proud, don't let my mother and I find out that you are hiding money.
Jiang Zhixi was not afraid of her, she just stared back, then pretended to be aggrieved and said, "Mom, what's going on with the eldest cousin? She looked at her daughter so fiercely. Did her daughter do something wrong?
The eldest cousin didn't want to take out the money, but her daughter felt that the Jiang family was a family and couldn't be so selfish. "
The second lady comforted her daughter with a happy face, "Don't worry about it. Your grandmother naturally knows what you mean. Sister-in-law, you are serious. If you don't really want to give it, why would you suggest confiscation?"
The eldest lady bit her cheek, but she had no words to refute. Who told her to lie first, and the silver was indeed revealed, and everyone saw that the shining silver was in the bag.
She turned her eyes for help to her husband, Jiang Jingmo.
Jiang Jingmo has always been a filial son. Without thinking too much, he picked up the remaining money, including the baggage, and gave it to his mother, saying in a deep voice:
"It's my son who didn't think carefully. Let's do this. Mother, just keep all the money and we will use you to redistribute it along the way."
Mrs. Jiang smiled happily, looked at her eldest son happily, and patted his shoulder, "My son is still filial. Don't worry, mother will take good care of it for you. Don't worry about anything else."
Mrs. Cheng Xiaoluo almost went crazy when she saw this.
