Seventy-six: Retribution
"Now you want me to take out her original dowry, don't you have to force us to die?" The old lady Xiang sat on the ground, with her legs crossed and looking like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, and sneered strangely: "I know that your family is rich and powerful, and we are not your opponents." www.biquge.info But if you have to drive the dog into the poor alley, don't blame us countrymen for not knowing how to count......"
Mrs. Song laughed when she heard this, she looked at Mrs. Xiang and felt a little incredible, and asked her, "Is the old lady talking nonsense with her eyes open?" The dowry list clearly states that there are five shops under Linlang's name, and three of them are in the capital. These three are all operated by the people of our Bofu, and the annual flow of water is clearly remembered, and the annual income is sent to the Xiang family in Shuzhong. Old lady, don't think I'm ugly, I don't count the other shops and houses under her name, just the three shops in the capital, it's enough for her to eat these abalone ginseng wings you said for a lifetime! ”
Old lady Xiang's mouth almost touched her nose, and she snorted angrily and looked at Old Lady Song: "Her dowry was not handed over to me to take care of, I know where her money went?" There are a lot of dead things, but which of the Boxing gifts she sends home every year is not two or three carts? Isn't this silver? ”
She saw that Mrs. Song's eyes were staring at her, so she simply let it go----- anyway, a widow like her, whose dead husband finally pulled her son, never knew what the use of the word face was.
What's more, the old lady Xiang has always been the most practical person, when his husband died, she never thought about remarrying, worked hard to pull her son up, watched him get famous, obviously didn't like her son to marry a high-ranking lady who was not the right family, but she didn't fight to the death, just said a few words on her mouth, because she knew that according to her conditions, she might not be able to marry better, it was better to keep the one acre and three points of land left by her husband to live a good life, it was better to pull her son up as a reliance. is also because she knows what kind of benefits the Song family's family business will bring to her son.
Now that her son is in prison and will be escorted to the Criminal Department at the beginning of the New Year, she is even more determined to squeeze everything she can.
Especially Song Linlang's dowry----- this large amount of silver will not only be the capital for Xiang Yunzhang's activities in the future, but also the capital for her grandchildren to still live a decent and comfortable life.
Old Mrs. Song didn't want to deal with such a market shrew anymore, and after looking back, Mama Zheng spontaneously stepped forward, and with a somewhat arrogant expression, she took out a few pieces of red paper from her arms and threw them to the old lady: "Old lady, since you talked about the gift list, let's talk about it." The gifts that our young lady sends back every year are here, except for the first year, which is taken directly from the dowry, the rest are the surplus of the shop Zhuangzi, and there is not the slightest private property in your house. ”
The old lady sat on the steps with her grandson in her arms and looked coldly at the graceful and luxurious old lady Song, and strangely noticed the difference between this old lady and Song Linlang, and moved her ass back vigilantly: "So what?!" ”
Song Chuyi didn't have the patience to spend it with the rats who lived in the stinky ditch forever, and said coldly behind Mama Zheng: "It's not good, you hand over the things today, and everyone will have nothing to do with it in the future." ”
She took two steps forward and leaned down to pull up the child in the old lady's arms, looked at him meaningfully, and then looked at the old lady Xiang: "This is not the field in your Shuzhong, nor is it a place where you can have an advantage by rolling around in your village. Your set doesn't work with us. If you don't want to say it well, we have a way to say it well. Old lady, you are old and sophisticated, you should know the current affairs, don't you say? ”
Xiang looked at Song Chuyi strangely and smiled, and after understanding the threat in Song Chuyi's words, she was a little incredulous, and after being silent for a long time, she coldly spit out a sentence: "In this case, I will give you Mingzi." You can only take half of the dowry. ”
Song Linlang's dowry, even if it is only half, is enough to support the Xiang family for a lifetime.
Green Yi burst out laughing behind Song Chuyi: "You really have the face to say, half?" I won't leave you a penny! ”
Song Chuyi's eyes were staring at the old lady closely, there was no smile on her face, the light in her eyes gathered, but she didn't seem to have a trace of emotion when she looked closely.
She finally lost her patience, let go of the child in her hand, squatted down to the old lady and asked her, "Did you hear that?" My girl said that she would not leave you a penny. Old lady, if you have money, you have to have a life to spend. Lord Xiang is now in prison, and you are not the old lady of the prefect's family in Qingzhou City now...... What's more, you still drag your family with so many grandchildren, if something accidentally happens at that time......"
Xiang the old lady's face was deflated, and her shriveled face was wrinkled together, holding her face and crying, she slapped her thighs while crying, and saw that she was about to sing again.
Old Lady Song interrupted her performance with a sneer, and her voice was as cold as well water in winter: "Old lady Xiang, this trick is useless to us." I've already written to you to the clan chief, even if you have to withhold things and don't give them, it's a big deal to go to the yamen and fight another lawsuit, don't you say? ”
Old lady Xiang stopped crying----- she couldn't afford to provoke the patriarch of the Xiang clan.
She stood up angrily and pointed at Old Lady Song and Song Chuyi angrily, with a look of resentment: "Do you really want to force people to death before you are willing?!" ”
Song Chuyi frowned, and Mama Xu stepped forward and immediately opened her finger to the old lady.
"No one wants to force you to death, the government has already sentenced my aunt to divorce from your son, and you keep other people's dowries and refuse to let go, which is untenable. If you're not afraid of death, just make trouble, and I'll watch you kill your sons and grandchildren! Song Chuyi glanced coldly at the boy who was cowering behind the old lady Xiang, and laughed: "While we are still talking to you, prepare the dowries of my cousin and aunt, otherwise...... When the official mission comes, I'm afraid you won't even have a place to celebrate the New Year. ”
Tilting the old lady's mouth downward, holding her grandson's hand tightly, she didn't mess around anymore.
Mama Zheng and Mama Wang took people into the door to clean up Song Linlang's things, and Mama Huang and Mama Qin went to pick up Xiang Mingzi.
As soon as Xiang Mingzi came out, Mrs. Song couldn't help crying, and stretched out her hand to hold her in her arms, as if holding the lost Song Linlang.
The old lady couldn't hold back in the end, and raised her voice and shouted: "Your father is ...... He's your father after all! You just watched him ......" (To be continued.) )
