Chapter 13 Reconciliation
"Don't kick your nose in the face, it's already you who take advantage of you to reconcile with Erlang, and you still have the face to make a request." Wen said angrily when he heard this.
Yan Niang sneered and said, "That's good, you asked him to write a letter of resignation and divorce me." I want to see, your son just divorced me on the front foot, and married the daughter of the county magistrate on the back foot, and his reputation as a scholar is gone. ”
As he spoke, he pointed at Ling Yuanniang and said: "And your eldest daughter, instigating the youngest son to feed poisoned rice cakes to her niece, if it spreads, will the Sun family be able to tolerate her, and what will those people outside think of your Ling family's upbringing." ”
"You dare."
"Second sister-in-law."
Wen and Ling Sanniang spoke in unison.
Yan Niang looked at the anxious expression of her sister-in-law and comforted: "Sanniang, you are a good girl, even if I leave the Ling family, I will not take the mistakes made by your mother and eldest sister out of anger." ”
"Second sister-in-law, can you not blame my eldest sister, if the Sun family knows that she has done such a thing, then the grandson will let her brother-in-law divorce her." Ling Yuanniang has a bad relationship with her mother-in-law, and Ling Sanniang is worried that her grandmother-in-law will use this to suppress Ling Yuanniang.
Yan Niang shook her head, "If your father and mother agree to my request, I naturally won't go out and talk nonsense, if they don't will, then it's no wonder to me." ”
Yan Niang said this to Ling Sanniang, but her eyes were staring at Father Ling, waiting for him to make a decision.
Yan Niang is not an evil character, but she knows that if she is not tough at this time, I am afraid that she will really be eaten by the Ling family, and there will be no bones left.
Father Ling pondered, and after a long time, he heard him say, "Okay, I promise you, tell me your conditions." ”
Hearing that he agreed, Yan Niang stopped grinding and said directly: "First, I want to take away Manman and my dowry." Second, I want Begonia's deed of sale. ”
In Yan Niang's opinion, these two conditions are not harsh, she doesn't ask for much, as long as she can be with her daughter, she is very satisfied. As for Begonia, this girl offended Fan Jin for her at the beginning, if she stayed in the Ling family and waited for Fan Jin to marry in the future, Begonia's life would be sad.
Haitang didn't expect Yan Niang to mention herself, she glanced at her gratefully, but she was very happy in her heart, but because of the presence of the Ling family, she didn't dare to show it so obviously.
As soon as Father Ling heard that Yan Niang was going to take away Manman, he subconsciously wanted to refuse, but he heard Wen leaning into his ear and saying: "Father, isn't it just a girl, she will give it to her if she wants, and the most important thing now is to vacate the position of Erlang's wife." ”
Begonia, a little maid, not worth a few dollars, when the daughter of the county marries in, can there be no slave and maid.
Father Ling felt that what Wen said was reasonable, but he was not as eager as Wen to agree, but he meant something: "Manman's surname is Ling, if you let it be taken away, wouldn't our Ling family be ridiculed by outsiders and can't even afford to raise a granddaughter." ”
Yan Niang's face sank when she heard this, and she said loudly: "What, do you want to regret it?" ”
After finishing speaking, he found that something was wrong, and listening to Father Ling's tone, it seemed that he was talking to her about the conditions.
She slowly calmed herself down, "Why are you willing to let me take it with me?" ”
Father Ling said: "You must leave the dowry, otherwise you don't want to take away my Ling family's granddaughter." ”
As soon as these words came out, Yan Niang was shocked, she didn't expect Father Ling to be beating her dowry idea, she looked at him in disbelief, for the first time she felt that her father-in-law was not as upright as he seemed.
"Half of your dowry is my Ling family's dowry, and the other half is prepared for you by the Nie family, but you took away my Ling family's bloodline, and those things should be regarded as compensation for the Ling family."
Yan Niang saw that he said that selling his granddaughter was so high-sounding, and felt that this person was too shameless. Looking at these people in the Ling family, in addition to Ling Sanniang's kindness and straightforwardness, Wen's bitterness and vanity, Ling's father is hypocritical and shameless, Ling Jiming is ruthless, and Ling Yuanniang is insidious and vicious, with these people, she really doesn't dare to leave Man Man in the Ling family.
Although she threatened them with Ling Yuanniang's poisoning of Manman, what she was afraid of was that they jumped off the wall in a hurry, and if they tried to keep it despite Ling Yuanniang's reputation, there would really be no way out at that time.
"Okay, I don't want the dowry, I just want to be full and begonia." Yan Niang thought about it again and again, and finally made a concession.
Seeing that she agreed, Father Ling asked Ling Jiming to write and leave the book.
Ling Jiming heard that Yan Niang didn't want a dowry, and only took Man Man and Begonia away, and he couldn't believe it. In the end, he was Manman's own father, and he felt that Yan Niang didn't need a dowry, how could he raise his daughter well, so he said to Father Ling: "Dad, let her take the dowry away, Manman is my daughter after all, and I have to rely on her dowry to support her." ”
Father Ling said: "Nie Yanniang has a pair of skillful hands, how can she not be able to raise a full man?" It's you, you're stupid to read, if I don't withhold her dowry, do you want to go to Fan's mansion empty-handed to propose marriage? ”
Hearing this, Ling Jiming kept silent and did not mention the matter of returning Yan Niang's dowry, he took the pen to write down the book and let Yan Niang sign it, and only waited for tomorrow to take the book and go to the county government to register.
After signing and leaving, Yan Niang took Begonia's deed of sale again, and didn't want to be in the same room with them anymore, she took Begonia back to the house to pack her luggage, and Wen took Ling Yuanniang to supervise on the side, for fear that Yan Niang would bring something more.
Yan Niang was not annoyed, she cleaned up by herself, except for her usual clothes and a few of the most ordinary jewelry, the rest was full of things.
"Wait." Ling Yuanniang suddenly said in a loud voice: "You can't take the things in your hand. ”
She was referring to the longevity lock in Yan Niang's hand, Yan Niang smiled angrily when she heard this, "This is my mother's full moon gift to my granddaughter, this is not my dowry, why can't I take it away?" Ling Yuanniang, your appearance is too ugly? ”
"You..." Ling Yuanniang was so angry that she couldn't speak.
Of course, the Wen family knew her daughter's thoughts, when that long-life lock was sent by Nie Auntie, Ling Yuanniang was a little greedy, after all, it was solid, and it was much more valuable than an ordinary long-life lock.
But she didn't want to cause trouble at this juncture, so she stopped her: "Yuan Niang, let her take it." ”
Hearing this, Haitang said to Yan Niang: "Sister Yan Niang, I'll just say, the Ling family is not so shallow-eyed, even children's things have to be detained." ”
As soon as these words came out, Wen and Ling Yuanniang's faces changed, but they only dared to scold a few words, and they didn't dare to do anything with Begonia, after all, Begonia was no longer the slave of the Ling family.
Yan Niang didn't answer, and after packing her luggage, she asked Haitang to go back to the house to tidy up her things.
Wen couldn't wait to kick them out, and said coldly: "Since you are no longer the Ling family, you can't stay here anymore, you can move out later." ”
It means that Yan Niang and the others will leave immediately.
This farce started from the beginning of the unitary time to the end of the day, the sky was already dark, and the cold wind was raging outside, so it was extremely unsafe to go out at this time.
Haitang wanted to say something, but was stopped by Yan Niang. She tied the full bag tightly on her chest, leaving only a small opening to breathe, and then put on the thickest cotton clothes with Haitang, and left the Ling family without any nostalgia with a few big burdens.
There was silence all around, only the cold wind was whistling, and after groping for a while, Yan Niang was a little out of breath, and the two found a leeward place to rest on the side of the road.
After resting for a while and about to continue walking, they heard the sound of the wheels of the carriage pressing against the ground, and the two of them looked in the direction from which the sound came, and saw a carriage not far away, and two lanterns were hanging on the front of the carriage.
Haitang said enviously: "If only we could get in the carriage now." ”
Yan Niang pursed her lips and didn't say anything.
The carriage was getting closer and closer to them, and Yan Niang and Haitang moved to the side to make way for the carriage. But the carriage stopped, and the coachman said something to the inside, and saw the people inside open the curtain and poke their heads out.
Although the sky was very dark, through the light reflected by the snow, Yan Niang recognized at a glance that the person was Ling Jiming's classmate Jiang Yucheng, and they had a relationship with the Ling family before.
"Sister-in-law, are you going back to your parents' house?" Seeing Yan Niang and Haitang carrying two large packages, Jiang Yucheng asked suspiciously.
Yan Niang was a little cramped, she couldn't say that she was kicked out of the Ling family, so she nodded randomly.
Jiang Yucheng saw that she seemed to have something unspeakable, so he didn't ask any more, but said, "It's getting late, let me give you a ride." ”
Yan Niang subconsciously wanted to refuse, but Haitang said happily: "Thank you son, son, it's so good." ”
Jiang Yucheng smiled, jumped out of the carriage, and motioned for them to get on.
Haitang took the lead in climbing up, and asked Yan Niang to hand her the full, Jiang Yucheng found that she still had a swaddling cloth tied to her chest, and stared at Yan Niang's eyes and thought deeply.
Yan Niang climbed into the carriage with great difficulty, and after sitting in the carriage, she couldn't help but sigh that the carriage was much warmer than outside, she glanced at Jiang Yucheng, who was sitting with the coachman, and her heart was full of gratitude.
When she left the Ling family, she made up her mind that she would no longer have anything to do with Ling Jiming in the future, but now she was sitting in the carriage of his classmate.
The cold wind was raging outside the car, and she vaguely heard the coachman asking Jiang Yucheng why he was so kind, and said that if he froze, it would be difficult for him to go back. She didn't hear what Jiang Yucheng said, she only felt that her eyelids seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and she slowly fell asleep under the shaking of the carriage.
"Sister Yan Niang, wake up, we're here." I don't know how long it took, Yan Niang was woken up by Begonia and slowly opened her eyes.
"Sister Yan Niang, let's go to Nie's house." Begonia repeated.
Yan Niang came to her senses at this time, and it turned out that she had arrived home.
She hurriedly got up and got out of the carriage with Manman, and Begonia followed closely with her baggage. Yan Niang thanked Jiang Yucheng, Jiang Yucheng waved his hand, "You don't have to be polite." ”
After hesitating for a moment, he said, "If you encounter such weather in the future, stay at home." With that, he arched his hand at her and slipped into the carriage.
Yan Niang looked at the carriage that was gradually moving away, and sighed in her heart: If the Ling family has its own place, why should she run around overnight.
The door was close in front of her, Yan Niang plucked up the courage to knock on the door, and no one answered after knocking for a while.
Haitang shivered coldly and asked, "Sister Yan Niang, could it be that they slept too deeply and didn't hear it." ”
As soon as the words fell, I heard someone inside asking who it was.
This is the voice of Yan Niang's second brother Nie Erlang.
Yan Niang hurriedly said: "Second brother, it's me." ”
Hearing his sister's voice, Nie Erlang couldn't be confused, and hurriedly opened the door and let the person in.
"Yan Niang, why are you back?" He glanced at the begonias and the big burdens, and asked puzzledly, "In the middle of the night, it's cold and sleepy, why don't you sleep at home and go back to your parents' house?" ”
Yan Niang was a little embarrassed, so she had to say a few words to him simply, Nie Erlang was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly called all the family members.
Yan Niang said that she was reconciled with Ling Jiming, and everyone looked at her disapprovingly,
Aunt Nie asked in a deep voice, "Yan Niang, how can you agree to leave and leave?" ”
Yan Niang told the story as it was, but she didn't say that Ling Yuanniang wanted to poison everything. When Aunt Nie heard this, she couldn't help but beat her twice.
"You stupid thing, how can you follow what people say, and don't say it, you didn't even bring back the dowry, why did I give birth to such a fool as you."
Yan Niang didn't hide, let Nie Auntie beat and scold, and the Liu family and the Yu family pulled away from the mother-in-law from left to right.
Liu frowned and asked, "Sister-in-law, do you want to raise Man Man in the Nie family?" ”
The sister-in-law returned to her parents' house and brought back the daughter born with her ex-husband, and the Liu family didn't like it from the bottom of her heart.
"Sister-in-law, I won't use a penny from the family, I can go to the shopkeeper Qi to take on more embroidery work to do, and half of the silver I earn will be handed over to the family, and the other half will be used by the three of us." Yan Niang was afraid that her sister-in-law would not agree, so she hurriedly explained.
Liu glanced at her and didn't answer, but her mood was a little better than before.
On the other side, Nie's father was talking to his two sons about Yan Niang, "What do you think about what happened to your sister?" ”
Nie Dalang said angrily: "The Ling family is bullying people too much, tomorrow Erlang and I will go to their family to reason." ”
Nie Erlang nodded in agreement, "You must not forget it like this." ”
Nie's father said with a blushing face: "The Nie family and the Ling family have the friendship of two old ladies, and it stands to reason that it shouldn't be ugly, but their family bullied your sister and drove people away in the middle of the night. ”
