Chapter 64: That's My Dowry

When the old lady heard this, she became angry. The already dissatisfied feelings were fully revealed, and he asked: "You say that you are in charge, why?" Your father and mother aren't dead yet. Even if they are dead, I am still alive. Xiaoyang is not a person, why are you in charge? ”

Li Xiaonuan was happy when she heard it, and replied coolly: "Just because I can keep them fed and warm, and if I can find a way to cure their diseases." With these two things alone, is there any reason why I can't be in charge? ”

The old lady was angry, and Chen applied eye medicine on the side: "Yo, you can still go." Isn't it that the Wei family lost some money? Aren't you a member of the Li family, and the silver is only yours? ”

I came for the money, so I said. However, they are already unsympathetic, and Li Xiaonuan is unwilling to let them fight their own ideas. She deliberately scratched at her hair, revealing her bald scalp, the scabs on it giving her goosebumps.

The old lady's eyelids twitched and she was a little annoyed. She won't admit that it's her fault, Li Xiaonuan deserves it. Chen gloated on the side, wondering why he didn't catch some more.

Seeing this, Li Xiaonuan pressed her legs with a "hiss" sound. While pressing, he also said: "The doctor said that my legs are sick." In the future, when it rains, it may be so painful that you can't walk. I can't do all the heavy work, let alone stand for a long time, let alone run. ”

Looking at Li Xiaonuan's legs, and then looking at the crutches she put on her side, Chen felt a little weak. But thinking that at that time, it was Li who kicked Li Xiaonuan down, so she became arrogant again.

"It's not that I can't go, what does it matter. Besides, don't you know the holy hand of surgery, let him treat you? ”

Li Xiaonuan smiled sarcastically and said, "Yes, that's what I thought. Before, the money I got back from the Wei family was used to pay for the medical expenses of my father and second uncle. two thousand six hundred taels of silver. Now there are only a few hundred taels left at home, and I don't know if it is enough to treat my legs. ”

"What?"

"Two thousand six hundred taels of silver? Oh my God, you're a loser too. ”

When the old lady heard that she had paid so much money to go out, she was shocked and said in unison. Lao Sili Dagong has only earned more than 2,000 taels of silver in the past three years, and he doesn't dare to spend it lavishly.

Li Xiaonuan actually made a move of more than 2,000 taels, which shows that the Wei family gave a lot of compensation. The Chen family couldn't see that other people's families had a lot of money, so they hurriedly asked: "Xiao Nuan, how much money did the Wei Mansion lose you?" ”

Li Xiaonuan replied lightly: "It's not much, it's enough to pay for the medical bills, and by the way, save a good dowry." ”

The old lady thought of something else, and said directly: "You are a loser who can't be in charge, hurry up and take out the rest of the silver, and I will take care of it for you." What kind of dowry, that is the Li family's silver. ”

The fourth child recently dealt with the government and spent hundreds of taels of silver, but the matter could not be done. The old lady thought that if she got the silver from Li Xiaonuan and let the fourth child walk around again, maybe she would be able to catch up with the housekeeper.

Faced with the old lady's shameless request, Li Xiaonuan ignored it directly and said, "Grandma, you are thirsty, I will go and boil water for you." With that, he stood up on crutches and walked slowly towards the kitchen.

Behind him, Chen said to the old lady: "Mother, you see, Xiao Nuan can't hand over the silver at all." ”

The old lady snorted and said, "She dares." I'm her grandmother, and if she doesn't listen to me, it's disobedience. If I take her to court, she'll be beaten and jailed. ”

When Chen heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed and said, "Oh, that's good." When she hands over the money, we'll divide it. Our house really can't be inhabited anymore, it has to be built of bricks. Xiaozheng will also go to school in two years, and the expenses are also very large. ”

The old lady was not happy when she heard what she said, and said, "What is the share, it is all the old family's money, and none of you can take it." If you want to build a house, you don't have it yourself, the twenty taels you got back from your mother's house last time are not silver? ”

The old lady felt in her heart that the silver was spent on the fourth child, and she would return it to her in the future. But the fifth family has always taken money from her, and will never honor her.

As long as she has silver on her, then even if the fourth family is unwilling to support her in the future, she can still go to the fifth family to live for the rest of her life. Therefore, no one can touch this silver now.

Chen saw that the old lady's face was cloudy, and he couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart. What kind of virtue is her mother's family, how can she not know, those things, once they enter their mother's house, how can there be any reason to spit out.

The twenty taels he got back were all Li Dali's savings in the past few years. Her mother's family can't wait to take another twenty taels from her, how can she give her money to go back to her husband's house. Li Dali couldn't see it, so he took his own money to trick the old lady into taking her back.

If it weren't for the fact that Li Xiaoyang was inquiring about buying a field recently, the Chen family would not have gone to Li Dagong's house to ask the old lady to ask for silver. It was also at the entrance of the village just now that I learned from the golden matchmaker that the silver was paid by the Wei government.

No matter what, you must get a hundred or dozens of taels from Li Xiaonuan. She is so good at making money, it's a big deal to earn it again. Thinking like this, Chen smiled and said, "Mother, I'll borrow a few dozen taels of silver from Xiao Nuan first." When the time comes, you will collect the rest of the money, do you think it is okay? ”

The old lady glanced at Chen dissatisfiedly, how to say that she is also the daughter-in-law of the fifth child, so she will turn a blind eye. Besides, if you don't let the Chen family get some cheapness, you don't know how to mess with her in the future.

"Okay, as long as you can borrow it, I'll take it with you."

As soon as Chen heard the music, he said in a loud voice: "Hello, I know that my mother loves me the most." I will definitely be more filial to my mother in the future. Wait for Xiaozheng to take the top prize, let him earn your life. ”

The old lady was very satisfied with Chen's cousin, and joked with a smile: "Xiao Zheng has just been weaned, and when he gets the top prize, I don't know where he went." You're going to make me happy. ”

Chen's heart said: If you want to earn your life, you will also earn it for me, you are old, and you can't wait for that day.

But she had a flattering look on her face: "Look at what my mother said, my mother's body is tough, even if Xiaozheng marries a wife and has children, you can still help him bring his great-grandchildren." ”

Hearing this, the old lady laughed, feeling as if that day was just around the corner. She sat in the compound of the mansion, waiting for her children and grandchildren to come to greet her. If she doesn't like anyone, she won't look at him and let him be excluded.

Li Xiaonuan entered the door with two bowls of boiling water, and saw the happy appearance of her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Putting the water bowl in front of the two, Li Xiaonuan breathed a sigh of relief. This work of holding crutches in one hand and water in the other, she never wants to do it again.
