Chapter 70: Socializing
As soon as the stool sat down, she didn't even have time to drink the tea, Qinghe touched Xiao Jingyan with her arm, this small action did not hide from Xiao's mother's eyes, she pretended not to see the silver ticket and silver in the small box, and when she was about to let Mama Gui hide, Xiao Jingyan spoke.
"Mother, my son has something to discuss with you."
Sure enough, Xiao Mu's eyes swept over Qinghe lightly, and sneered, how could she not know this woman's careful thoughts.
"Say it!"
"Before, my grandmother promised to give Qinghe a dowry, I don't know if I can advance it, Qinghe has recently had skin on his face and needs to buy some medicine, so the dowry ......"
Xiao's mother is not a vegetarian, and said directly: "I have to discuss with your grandmother how much dowry is appropriate for this matter, not to mention that this has not passed the door yet, and the dowry on the day of marriage will naturally be with the wedding sedan chair, so why are you so anxious." ”
"But Mother ......"
"Okay, I'm tired, you guys go back!"
This Qinghe was ordered to be evicted before she could speak, and she could only step on Xiao Jingyan's instep with her foot to let him continue to speak.
This Xiao Jingyan got up and heard the voice of the housekeeper outside.
"Madam, someone has come to the door to make trouble."
"What?" Xiao's mother hurriedly lifted her skirt, "Who dares to come to our Xiaofu to make trouble?" ”
"They all took the money yesterday, and they heard that the girl was not dead, and they shouted to get the money back."
"These people who have suffered a thousand knives, haven't they already eaten our Xiaofu's seat, so they dare to return their money, shameless."
Although Xiao's mother looked down on these relatives, she was still embarrassed to be blocked at the door, so she went out to see.
Yueya was still asleep when she heard Chun'er's excited voice, and the whole person was awakened by Chun'er from her sleep.
"Miss, don't sleep, something is wrong."
Yueya got up and said a little tiredly: "Something big has happened, seeing that you are not in a proper system like this, the woman's family should be stable." ”
"I can't hold it back, I'm too excited, Xiao's mother is known to you for the funeral and collect money, and those relatives and friends are now coming to the house to shout for a refund."
"Oh! Who are they? Yueya was a little curious, she guessed right, this Xiao's mother is in trouble, especially Xiao Botong's mother is not a vegetarian, and she has brains to live in the complicated family of the Xiao family.
It was not easy to find Xiao's mother's fault, how could she not instigate those relatives to make trouble together.
However, the trouble is exactly what she wants.
"Change clothes, let's go to the play."
"Okay! Miss. ”
Xiao's mother was afraid that those shallow-eyed relatives would tell the people at the door of Xiao's mansion about this money, so she invited them into the house.
There were about forty people who came, all of them as if they had said yes, and a representative of the family came, and some of them held children, filling the huge living room, and many younger people could not sit down and stood.
There are already few people in the Xiao family, so many people come at once, and they can't even supply tea.
"Mrs. Xiao, you must know the purpose of our coming today?" Although Xiao Botong's mother is only more than ten years older than Xiao's mother, she is also a generation older, don't look at her old, but she has the appearance of a monkey spirit, and she is quite convincing when she speaks.
Over the years, she has taken the initiative to shout about splitting the family, unwilling to have anything to do with Mrs. Xiao, and has a grudge in her heart, and is unwilling to worship Master Xiao.
Back then, she had someone she liked, if it weren't for Mrs. Xiao who promised her to Master Xiao as a concubine, she would not have been left out for half her life, she wanted to live like this without fighting or grabbing, but her son Xiao Botong's words reminded her.
"Mother is going to be oppressed by the old lady Xiao for a lifetime? Half of my mother's life is ruined, don't you want to take revenge? ”
She hesitated for a day, but after all, she still wanted revenge.
Xiao's mother couldn't look down on the woman in front of her, and she was very disgusted with her leading people to make trouble, but she couldn't embarrass her elders in front of so many people, so she said: "Isn't Aunt Tian just fanning the flames and letting everyone ask for money?" But what you've been doing is not kind at all. ”
"I didn't know until last night that Yueya didn't die, you have all eaten a day's banquet, this money has been given, and the meal has been eaten, and the night reception that should be entertained, how can there be a reason to recover the money?"
Tian Cui's face was unhappy and said: "One, it is no longer a system for you to hold a funeral if the Yueya girl is not dead, and then we thought that this Yueya girl has already retired her husband, even if something happens, it will not be your Xiao family's turn to hold the funeral, isn't this deliberately running a funeral pit for our share of money?" ”
"That's right! This is deliberate, this Yueya is no longer a member of your Xiao family, how embarrassed are you to do it for her. ”
"Who said no, holding a funeral for someone else's funeral under the banner of someone else's death, those who don't know think that your mother-in-law is good, and you have feelings for other people's Yueya, and anyone who knows can guess that you have a purpose."
"Mrs. Xiao, it's not that we are shallow to ask for money, it's just that no one's money is blown by the wind, your family is so good, Mrs. Xiao still has a title, but we are all ordinary people, businessmen and even croppers, and we earn hard-earned money, you are too unkind."
Hearing this left sentence and right sentence made Xiao's mother red-faced, but Yueya, who was standing at the door, was a little gloating, Chun'er couldn't wait to go in, but was blocked by Yueya.
"Chun'er, don't be in a hurry, the play is not on."
"Miss, what's the big show?"
Yueya smiled, her hand was in the shape of a crescent moon to block her face, leaned close to her ear and whispered, "You go and invite Mama Jin to come to the play." ”
"Why did you invite her?"
"Because Mama Jin is grandmother's eyeliner, of course this kind of good thing has to be known to her, Xiao's mother hides it well because she doesn't want her grandmother to know, then I don't want her to do it."
"Yes, Miss, I'll go."
Seeing that Chun'er was leaving, Yueya continued: "By the way, remember to go to the government to report it, and say that someone in the Xiao family is making trouble and is about to start fighting, and the messenger will say that Xiao's mother sent it." ”
"Yes, miss."
Xiao's mother said in a deep voice: "Although Yueya has nothing to do with Jing Yan this time, we have always regarded Yueya as our own daughter, she is dead, and we, as parents, must help her hold a funeral!" ”
"Besides, I've been providing you with food and drink for a day, and you're embarrassed to ask for such a little money, and I don't have a face if you don't say it."
Qinghe was afraid that his dowry would be gone, so he also said: "Yes! How can there be a reason to stuff the money in other people's pockets and take it back, just like the items, since you have given it and licked your face to ask for it, if you can, spit out what you eat. ”
As soon as he said this, the living room instantly boiled, and someone shouted, "What kind of thing are you?" An outer room that has not yet married into the Xiao Mansion still dares to speak in front of the master. ”
"You are bold, I am a princess, you are blind," Qinghe yelled as he pointed to the women and children holding children in the crowd.
