After Jiang Yuebai and others left.

Xin'er gloated and told Su Yiqing that she had been cheating with Jiang Yuebai's maid for a long time. It turned out that Mrs. Xu had previously promised to marry her with a sum of money if she gave birth to a child, but now she changed her story and said that as long as she gave birth to a boy, she would be given a sum of money.

Lift my aunt.

In addition, Jiang Yuebai secretly sent things to his family twice, and when Mrs. Xu found out, she ridiculed her fiercely, saying that next time she would ask her in-laws if this was how the scholarly family educated their daughters.

Now Jiang Yuebai is not allowed to handle any money at home.

Su Yiqing knew that Mrs. Xu was venting her anger. She felt that the Jiang brothers and sisters had not contributed to her matter and were ungrateful. Coupled with Jiang Yuebai's unsatisfactory performance, she felt that her daughter-in-law had failed in marriage.

So what if Jiang Yuebai is more capable? With the Xu family in the third house, there is no shortage of housekeeper talents, not to mention that Jiang Yuebai does not have the ability to make money every day, so he has a better memory, and he is quite satisfactory in housekeeping and financial management.

No mother-in-law would like her if she couldn't develop, couldn't have children, and had to support her mother-in-law's daughter-in-law.

But Jiang Yuebai doesn't seem like someone who can't even control his personal maid, so how could the maid be easily tricked into so many scandals by Xin'er, some of which are from her mother's family?

A harsh environment indeed makes it easier for people to grow.

…

In the Jiang family, Jiang Yueming is angry with his newlywed wife, Mrs. Song.

The reason was that Mrs. Song sent a piece of old wild ginseng sent by her sister back to her parents' home without his consent.

Wang's health was not good and she was sick not long ago, so her in-laws asked her sister to send some precious medicinal materials, including a branch of wild ginseng. Because her mother was still weak at the time, she couldn't take too much supplement, so she didn't use it.

Mrs. Song went behind his back and took Laoshan Ginseng back to her parents' home as a gift for her sister-in-law.

This was used by his sister to treat his mother's illness. Mr. Song turned around and took it as a favor without saying a word. Two days ago, his mother occasionally caught a cold, and the doctor prescribed Laoshan ginseng. He wanted to give it to his mother, but he didn't.

I couldn't find it, so I asked Ms. Song and found out that she had taken it back to her parents' house. Good Laoshan ginseng is something you can't buy if you have money, especially when you need it urgently.

Jiang Mingyue felt like her heart was on fire. After saying a few words about Mrs. Song, Mrs. Song's tears fell down. She said that her father knew that his family was poor, so when she got married, he prepared a generous dowry. Her sister-in-law was a little dissatisfied.

My brother was very embarrassed when he said that he almost emptied his family fortune.

That's why Mrs. Song wanted to send some good things back to please her sister-in-law. My brother is having a better life, isn't that wrong? Everything we use to live in the house now comes from Mrs. Song's dowry, and her mother's medical treatment and medicine are also from Song's money.

Mr. Song didn't even say a word, how many old wild ginsengs can those things hold up?

He directly told Jiang Yueming that he was blushing and ashamed.

When I returned to my mother's house, I suddenly discovered that my mother had quickly and secretly hidden something.

Jiang Yueming quickly asked: "Mom, what are you doing again?"

Wang concealed it: "Nothing. Nothing."

Jiang Yueming had already seen it and said sadly: "Mom, what are you doing? Your illness is not cured yet, why are you working again?"

Seeing that she couldn't hide it, Wang said anxiously: "Lying in bed all day is boring, so I just embroider something to pass the time without feeling tired."

"Mom, this embroidery job is the most hurtful to the eyes and nerves. Why are you like this?" Jiang Yueming sometimes really doesn't understand what her mother thinks. For a few taels of silver, she is tired and sick and spends more money on medical treatment and medication, and she also needs people to take care of her.

Seeing that her son was angry, Mrs. Wang couldn't help but said with red eyes: "Son, my mother is recovered from her illness and can take care of herself. Don't let your wife's maid serve you. A maid from a big family is better than a young lady from a small family."

It's more valuable, they have done these menial jobs, don't make things difficult for others."

Jiang Yueming knew immediately when she heard that it must be the two little maids brought by the Song family who were complaining, so her mother wanted to embroider something to compensate them.

However, the Song family's maids are not easy for him to discipline. As for the two little maids, he probably doesn't dare to say anything too outrageous, so his face is ugly. Besides, the two little maids are only twelve years old. What do they know? They seem to care.

Making a fuss out of a molehill.

Thinking of this, the mother actually wanted to see the face of her daughter-in-law and maid, and the fire in her heart became even more panicked.

At this time, I heard the voice of the little maid outside the door: "My aunt is here."

Mrs. Wang hurriedly wiped the corners of her eyes and straightened her hair. After a while, Jiang Yuebai came in holding up the curtain.

I saw that my mother and brother looked different, especially my mother's eyes were a little red.

Jiang Yuebai asked hurriedly: "Brother, did something happen?"

"No, no," Mrs. Wang hurriedly comforted her daughter.

At this time, Mrs. Song was notified that her sister-in-law was coming, so she also helped her maid over.

After the sister-in-law said hello, Jiang Yuebai ordered the little maid to take out the things given by her mother-in-law and said with a smile: "Mom, my mother-in-law asked me to bring another ginseng over. Have you finished the last one?

How do you feel? My mother-in-law said that if there are any medicinal materials that are missing, just tell her, some medicinal materials are not convenient to buy outside, and this box of chestnut cakes is made by me. Mom, brother, sister-in-law, you can try it. "

When Jiang Yueming heard the words "Laoshan Ginseng", his face turned pale, while Mrs. Song lowered her head with guilt.

Mrs. Wang said: "It cost your mother-in-law a lot of money, but now that my mother is well, I'd better take this ginseng back. This kind of precious ginseng will make you angry if you eat it too much. Besides, it's not good for a married daughter to go to her parents' house to take things."

Jiang Yuebai smiled and said: "There is no reason to take back the gift that was sent out. Don't worry, mother, I didn't take it privately. It was sent to me by my mother-in-law. My mother-in-law's heart is so full of affection. If you don't accept it, it will go away.

If your mother doesn’t need it, just keep it and give it to your relatives.”

The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. Mother and daughter asked and answered questions. They were talking about Laoshan ginseng and getting things from their parents' house. It was like slaps on Mrs. Song's face one after another. She was sure it was Jiang Yuebai who heard about it.

What, he deliberately sang with his mother and slapped her in the face.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Song couldn't help it, covered her mouth and ran out of the door crying.

Jiang Yuebai was very confused and said hurriedly: "Brother, sister-in-law, what's going on? You feel uncomfortable somewhere, go and have a look."

"I made my sister laugh." Jiang Yueming had no choice but to chase after him.

"What an injustice." As soon as Jiang Yueming went out, Mrs. Wang finally couldn't help crying in front of her daughter.

"Mom, what happened?" Jiang Yuebai hurriedly took out the handkerchief and wiped her mother's tears.

Wang choked up and said, "My son, you don't know...why my life is so miserable, and I still have to be despised by others when I'm old."

After listening to Wang's rambling remarks.

Jiang Yuebai was completely speechless. What she was most worried about finally happened.

Song's sister-in-law is really... Well, it's all because their family is too poor. In fact, she has always advised her brother to get married after completing the imperial examination.

But the Song family was unwilling, probably because they were afraid that the marriage would be postponed for a long time and something would happen. Song Daru fell ill again a year ago, so he was worried that something would happen that would delay his daughter's flowering period.

Now the house is the woman's dowry. All the items belong to the woman, so it's okay to do so. Many cases are like this, relying on the qualifications of the wife's natal family, and after high school, the wife will repay based on the husband's wealth.

The biggest problem is that the Song family's family background is neither high nor low, and the dowry in addition to the house is about three thousand taels. This kind of money can be used for a lifetime in an ordinary family, but it is nothing at all for wealthy people, especially those in the capital.

The Song family is not rich, but the young lady has been pampered since she was a child, and has been served by maids and mothers. She has never done any work, and has never suffered any hardship. She suddenly married into the Jiang family, and she is not used to it. She still spends money lavishly.

It was her parents' fault, which made Mrs. Wang feel very distressed for her, who broke a copper coin in half and spent it.

However, the daughter-in-law spends other people's dowries, and her mother and son live and eat in other people's homes. Mrs. Wang is not that evil mother-in-law who wants to take advantage of her daughter-in-law's dowry, but she also feels that her daughter-in-law has married in, and her son's things belong to her son, and it really hurts her to waste them.

He's not that kind of stern person, he's soft-tempered. I've never been blushing with anyone in my life, and now it's even harder to criticize the daughter-in-law who came in with a generous dowry. I can't say it, but I can't look away, and I'm depressed. Isn't this sick?

.

Mrs. Song must also be dissatisfied with some of Wang's stingy practices, such as saving overnight meals for the next day and feeling distressed over trivial matters like lighting too many candles. Gradually, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law developed.

Wang's illness cost hundreds of taels of money for medical treatment and medicine. When the doctor saw that they lived in such a big house and were served by maids and servants, he thought that they were rich people, so the prescriptions they prescribed were naturally expensive tonics.

Mrs. Song may not have cared about it at first, but her dowry was reduced by a large amount because of her mother-in-law's illness. She didn't feel bad, but her mother-in-law was nagging about saving money, and she was picky and nagging about how many kilograms of cherries she bought to try them out.

Can you bear it?

To be fair, Jiang Yuebai also thinks that the Song family will not be able to live well. There are still two years until the next college entrance examination for his brother. Even if his brother can reach high school, if he falls behind in the ranking, like his father-in-law, he will get a job with a small amount of money, a few taels.

How can this big family survive with only one month of money?

Three thousand taels of silver is really not much. If something big happens, it will be gone. If you have children in the future, raising children will cost a lot of money. Once the money is spent, how will you live your life?

Jiang Yuebai felt worried for them just thinking about it.

But she was worried, so what could she do now? She couldn't talk to Mrs. Song at all, and she couldn't persuade her.

Jiang Yuebai left with full of anxiety.

After Jiang Yueming comforted Ms. Song, he rushed out and walked her to the door.

When getting on the carriage, Jiang Yueming asked hesitantly: "Sister, I heard that my brother-in-law's wife is about to give birth?"

Jiang Yuebai nodded. She couldn't pretend to be happy in front of her brother.

Jiang Yueming didn't know what to say. She had heard from her sister that her mother-in-law had given her a sum of money to get married out of town when she first planned to have a child through an intercourse. Recently, when she met Su Jinxu, Su Jinxu told him that the child would be born through an intercourse.

The child will have to carry his aunt.

He wanted to punch Su Jinxu, but he could not resist asking about what his sister told him, but Su Jinxu said that it was the mother who made the decision, and a son could never disobey his mother.

He had known Su Jinxu's character for a long time, so he had hesitated about this marriage at the beginning. It was a turn of events. Su Jinxu was really not worthy of his sister, but at that time he really had no choice.

Seeing her brother mentioning the marriage rashly, with a troubled look on his face, Jiang Yuebai suddenly wanted to make her brother sober up. She regretted that she didn't explain many things clearly to her brother at first, and immediately said: "Brother, isn't it right?"

Feeling sorry for my sister? But there is nothing I can do about it. Who can tell my sister to be dissatisfied? Even if it is an elder brother, if his sister-in-law is not pregnant with a child after three years of marriage, what will the elder brother do? What will happen to the mother? I don’t care about others.

I feel sorry for my sister, this happens to all families."

Jiang Yueming had another headache. This was also one of her mother's current worries. She couldn't give birth to her grandson early. Sometimes she underestimated Song's frail body, and said she would ask for some advice on how to have a son, but her sister got married earlier.

, there was no news yet, so his mother did not dare to mention it. Thinking of all this, he said sadly: "It's all because of my brother's fault. I can't do anything for you..."

"Brother, stop talking." Jiang Yuebai smiled miserably, "There are some things I should have told brother a long time ago, but I just couldn't say them... In these years, you only know how to study, and my mother and I have worked very hard to support this family.
To be continued...
