Chapter 481: Return the Dowry of the Year
People don't want to be ashamed of this, Liu Yunxiang really doesn't know what to scold her.
She stood in the doorway, unmoved, trying to hear what Madame Liu had to say.
"Mama Gan, you go to the West Courtyard to call the disaster star, I have something to ask her."
Liu Yunxiang sneered, opened the curtain and walked in, looked at Mrs. Liu, and saw that she was a little weak-hearted, and her eyes fluttered, "I came by chance, I heard Mrs. say who is the disaster star, and I don't know who to say?" ”
Mrs. Liu paused, and then said stiffly: "You are indeed a coincidence, the family urgently needs some silver, you can make up for some more." ”
"What's the use?"
"All you have to do is take the money."
"If you don't make it clear, I don't."
"My mother's mouth talks to you, and you don't give me any face?" Mrs. Liu said angrily.
"How much is Madame's face worth?"
"You!"
Liu Yunxiang took a deep breath, if she usually asked her for silver, let alone a thousand taels or ten thousand taels, she would not be stingy. But this money is used to save Liu Er, that's not good, she is not so noble, and she spends money to save a person who wants to harm herself.
Cheng's mind turned around and said, "If you say that, my aunt still has some self-consideration. Since you have it, let's take some out, look at the aunt who is in a hurry, you are too unfilial to be a daughter. ”
"I'm not filial, are you filial?" Liu Yunxiang raised his eyebrows.
Cheng smiled, "I naturally respect my mother." ”
"Then you take the money!"
"I ...... I'm not for nothing. ”
"Oh, it's just filial piety."
Cheng was so blocked that he couldn't speak, and secretly glared at Liu Yunxiang.
At this time, the little guy in the front yard ran over and said that he couldn't stop it, and the other party didn't get the money today, so he refused to give up.
Mrs. Liu held her forehead, and had no choice but to explain to Liu Yunxiang patiently: "Your second uncle owed money in the gambling house, and today people came to the door to ask for debts, saying that they would not repay the money, so they smashed our Shilang Mansion." ”
Liu Yunxiang sighed, "It was originally to repay Liu Er's debts, and since it was a disaster for him, he should bear it." ”
"He's your second uncle after all."
"Madame, don't you forget, two days ago he told you to kick me out?"
Mrs. Liu breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that Liu Yunxiang was like this, she must not be willing to give out the silver, so she had to take out the 1,000 taels of silver she had raised, and asked Mama Gan to take two gold hairpins and two jade bracelets.
"These jewels are estimated to be five hundred taels, and I can't take out any more, so you give them and make it clear to them. If we make any more trouble, we'll have to report it to the police. ”
Cheng Shi hurriedly caught these things, and when he lowered his head, the corners of his mouth bent uncontrollably, "I'll give them here, my aunt has a good rest, and when I send them away, I'll go to the kitchen to make chicken soup for you." ”
"Go ahead."
Cheng was carrying something, turned around and was about to leave.
"Wait!" Liu Yunxiang stopped Cheng and asked, "How much does Liu Er owe to the gambling house?" ”
Cheng's heart was weak, and he shouted: "Auntie, since you refuse to take money to save your own uncle, don't ask so much!" ”
Liu Yunxiang looked at Mrs. Liu, "How much?" ”
Mrs. Liu's face was full of fatigue, and she said, "One thousand five hundred taels." ”
Liu Yunxiang looked at Cheng: "Is it really one thousand five hundred taels?" ”
Cheng was in a hurry to go out and wanted to bypass Liu Yunxiang, but every time she blocked the road, he could only hurriedly say: "It's really 1,500 taels, don't block the road from my aunt, I have to hurry up and return the silver!" ”
Liu Yunxiang sneered, "But I just came back from the front yard and asked those people in the gambling house, they said it was one thousand taels, how come it is one thousand five hundred taels in your mouth, and the extra five hundred taels, do you want to eat it?" ”
Cheng's eyes widened, he was stupid for a moment, he didn't expect that Liu Yunxiang had already been to the front yard.
"I ......"
When Mrs. Liu heard this, she slapped the table angrily, "Yunchang's family, what's going on?" ”
Cheng shivered, turned around bluntly, "It must be...... Grandma must have misheard......"
"Call them over and ask them carefully, and you'll find out." Liu Yunxiang said.
Mrs. Liu nodded at Mama Gan, and Mama Gan was about to go out, but Cheng hurriedly said, "I heard it wrong, it's really a thousand taels, so there's no need to call them." ”
Mrs. Liu was so angry that she gasped, no matter how stupid she was, she knew what was going on at the moment, in order to save her father-in-law, she would just make a profit from it.
This Cheng family clearly knows what the situation is in the house, her husband is locked up in the prison of the Criminal Department, she can't afford to be sick, she has no way to ask for help, and she can't make up the money if she wants to make some money.
But in order to help them with the second room, she still forced out the thousand taels, and even put the few jewelry she had left.
If they know how to be grateful, they can't do such a thing!
Seeing Mrs. Liu like this, Cheng explained a lot, and seeing that Mrs. Liu's face had not improved, he had to put down those jewelry first, and said, "I will take this silver and send the people from the gambling house away first." ”
With that, Cheng hurriedly ran away.
"Mama Gan, if you follow her, you must see her give the silver to those people." Mrs. Liu said to Mama Gan beside her.
Mama Gan nodded, "The old slave will go." ”
At this time, only Mrs. Liu and Liu Yunxiang were left in the hall, and the mother and daughter were already far away.
"When I got married, you prepared a rich dowry for me, and this dowry allowed me to survive many difficult times." Liu Yunxiang said and took out a few silver tickets from his arms, walked up to Mrs. Liu, and put them on the table.
"Here's a hundred thousand taels."
Mrs. Liu's eyes widened, "You, how can you have so much money?" ”
"Madame, just take it, when I pay back the dowry you gave back then."
Mrs. Liu looked at the silver ticket on the table, her nose was sour, her eyes were blurry, and she remembered how she felt when she was preparing a dowry for her daughter. Shilang's Mansion is not one of those families, the family background is not thick, because she was afraid that her daughter would be looked down upon by the Hou Mansion, she took out more than half of the dowry she brought, and pieced together more than ten boxes.
But in fact, it was not 100,000 taels, and she gave a lot more.
"I never thought of getting back the dowry I gave you."
"You better take it, it will make me feel uneasy if you owe you."
"Yunxiang ......" Mrs. Liu looked up at Liu Yunxiang, "Mother has done a lot of wrong things before, can't you forgive Mother?" ”
Liu Yunxiang took a step back, "I can forgive, but can we still be the same as before?" ”
"Of course you can, my mother will try her best to be good to you."
"You also said that you need to do your best, but the real mother and daughter, the feelings are naturally revealed and not deliberate, so we can't go back after all. Since both compartments are awkward, it is better not to lose or owe like this. I promised you to save Liu Shilang before, I won't break my promise, you can keep this silver for yourself, and use it for Yun Heng's daughter-in-law in the future. ”
After speaking, Liu Yunxiang walked out.
In the evening, Liu Yunheng came to the West Courtyard to have dinner with Liu Yunxiang and them.
"My mother told the second uncle and sister-in-law that they should find a house and move out of the Shilang Mansion as soon as possible."
Liu Yunxiang sighed, "This family is extremely thick-skinned, and they will definitely think of all kinds of tricks to stay." ”
"Won't it?"
As soon as Liu Yunheng's voice fell, someone next door shouted: "Oh no, grandma hanged herself!" ”
