Chapter 52: Cross-examination
Niu Li and the eldest of the Niu family have been married for four or five years, and they are not pregnant yet, so her mother-in-law has not given her a good face.
Now, the second daughter-in-law is pregnant less than half a year after entering the door. The mother-in-law has a greater opinion of Niu Li's family. Usually she has to work hard, and she speaks coldly to Niu Li, and if the second daughter-in-law wants to eat something after morning sickness, her mother-in-law will also ask Niu Li to buy it.
Today, the mother-in-law asked Niu Li to buy hawthorn cakes for her second daughter-in-law, but she did not give her money, and the money for buying hawthorn cakes was made by Niu Li himself.
At this time, her mother-in-law asked her for the rest of the money, Niu Li was careful at home most of the time, looking at people's faces everywhere, but she was also a person with a strong sense of right and wrong, and when her mother-in-law did something unfair, she couldn't help but reply a few words.
"Mother, you haven't given me money before. I used my own money to buy hawthorn cakes for my brother-in-law......"
The mother-in-law, who had always looked down on her eldest daughter-in-law, saw that Niu Li dared to talk back, stared at her and asked, "Your own money?" Where did you get the money? Didn't your son earn your money? The money my son earns is the Niu family's money, it's my money!"
When Niu Li heard her mother-in-law say this, she was very sad and couldn't help but argue: "Mother, this money is the money I used to go up the mountain to pick up mountain goods and sell them......
Mother-in-law is a person who sees money, she heard that Niu Li picked up mountain goods to sell, and did not hand over the money to herself, she was very angry, "You little prodigal hoof, and there is no child in your belly, what are you hiding money for?" If you don't give money to my son, do you have other men out there? Are you cuckolding my son?
Niu Li worked hard at her mother-in-law's house, but no matter what she did, it was only thankless because she didn't have children.
Today, it's like this again, it's obviously the hawthorn cake that Niu Li bought with her own money, but her mother-in-law can't see it at all, she only thinks that Niu Li has hidden the money, and she has to frame her for having a man outside.
was bullied like this by his mother-in-law, and Niu Li had long wanted to separate the family.
However, Niu Li and her husband Niu Dazhuang have a very good relationship. She knew that her husband was too filial, and her mother-in-law would not easily agree to divide the family, which made Niu Dazhuang very embarrassed, and for the sake of her husband, Niu Li had to endure it.
"Mother, I don't." Niu Li thought of her husband and felt that she had endured so many grievances before, and she didn't care about it at this time today.
She untied the money bag, reached into the money bag, and pulled out the rest of the money from the mountain goods.
"Mother, I sell mountain goods, a total of thirty wen, I spent ten wen to buy things, and the remaining ten wen, I will give it to you now!"
"You little prodigal, why are you spending money indiscriminately?" It also cost ten wen! How could my son marry such a ruined thing as you?
The mother-in-law scolded, but her eyes kept staring at the money earned by Niu Li's family, and before Niu Li's money was taken out, her mother-in-law quickly stepped forward and grabbed Niu Li's wallet.
"My Wallet ......"
Niu Li didn't expect her mother-in-law to come and rob it. Her heart was in her throat.
In that money bag, there was also the fifty wen that Chu Xintian gave her from selling medicinal herbs!
If you let your mother-in-law know, she will be even worse!
Immediately afterwards, the mother-in-law poured all the money in her wallet on the table, and when she glanced at it, she knew that Niu Li had hidden the money.
"You little hoof, still hiding your eyes with me? What's the deal with this extra money? Did you steal it from home?
As the head of the family, the mother-in-law naturally was very angry when the Niu Li family hid money privately and openly defied the authority of her elders.
Fifty wen is not a decimal number, mother-in-law thinks that Niu Li dares to hide fifty wen today, maybe she will dare to hide one hundred wen tomorrow, in the long run, this family will be ruined by this cheap goods sooner or later!
