After the old lady of the Zhen family heard about this incident, she was not very touched.

She just lowered her head and sighed.

"This is her life!"

He and Song both choked.

What a callous and heartless sentence!

He wanted to remind the old lady to pay attention to her emotions in a tone of regret and grief. She wiped her tears and said: "My sister-in-law was so good when she was young at home, such a gentle and virtuous little lady! She can't do it this year.

Twenty-five years old, you went to hell at a young age, isn't this the case for a woman with white hair to send a woman with black hair?"

"Yes, alas!" Mrs. Song also joined in, saying with regret: "It's a pity that the furniture that my mother made for her and the jewelry that her two brothers made for her were all in vain.

Po."

Old Mrs. Zhen was still unmoved. She sneered and glanced at the two daughters-in-law: "You two, stop playing those little tricks. Why are you still focusing on that little dowry? I have never heard of any family who still has to pay for the dowry after their daughter-in-law dies.

Give it back to your mother’s family!”

No matter how he knew that the old lady was unkind and ungrateful, Ms. Song was still a little surprised.

No matter what, she is the daughter who has been with you for fifteen years, so it really doesn’t hurt at all?

"But -" she shook her lips and said, "but my sister-in-law still has the blood of her direct relatives left outside. No matter what happens, the mother's dowry should be left to her daughter. I have never heard of it being left to the sister-in-law of her husband's family."

"Oh?" After hearing this, Mrs. Zhen raised her eyelids, rolled her cloudy eyes a few times, and said: "That big girl... Huh, after all, Sanniang is still not up to par with her.

Like my mother, she gave birth to two sons one after another and let’s see what her mother-in-law can do to her! What about the little girl now? I’m afraid the old godly woman won’t treat her well!”

Although Mrs. Song was shocked in her heart by her mother-in-law's indifference, she had no choice but to tell her about Qiao Yun's situation, and finally said: "She is your biological daughter's biological daughter after all. What's the point of raising her in someone else's house? Sooner or later she will be the same.

You have to take it over and follow your grandmother to make people feel at ease!"

"The family that raises her now also runs a restaurant. It's nothing to raise a little wife, not to mention that they have recognized their godmother." Old Mrs. Zhen was a little unhappy. She snorted disdainfully, "Now she has enough food and clothing.

Nuan, Qi Le Rongrong, what do you and I do to become such evil people and tear them apart forever?"

After saying that, she closed her eyes again to regain her composure.

It's not that she's tired of Qiao Yun having to eat more when she comes back, it's just that she doesn't like girl movies.

Moreover, their home is the second courtyard, with two rooms on the back, one is the kitchen and the other is the utility room. At first, Zhen Sanniang was crowded with her in the upper room. If Qiao Yun was taken over, what would happen?

Aren't you asking her to give up a room in the upper room again?

What's more, what will happen to such an older girl after she moves in? She has to come to him all day long to fulfill her filial piety! If she hangs around in front of him all day long, she will be chattering and making no peace. If she is allowed to hold back, don't make any noise.

, and it would make people say that I am unkind and that my granddaughter does not know etiquette.

Why cause more trouble!

She is nearly seventy years old and has worked hard all her life for her children. Why can't she live in a room of her own and enjoy herself?

Mr. Song and Mr. He were shocked again.

That's your granddaughter! Are you just leaving it outside?

They both looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

What can be done? Can they, as wives, still disobey their mothers?

From now on, the sisters-in-law will take care of that poor niece more often.

"By the way." Old Mrs. Zhen opened her eyes and said, "If Da Ya wants to get her mother's dowry back, you two can help her if you can."

Although she doesn't want to see her daughter and granddaughter, Qiao Yun still has half of her old Zhen family's blood in her body. If she were facing Da Ya's own grandmother, she wouldn't say this again.

But it happened to be a step-grandmother, so she couldn't swallow this breath.

No matter what, if she is really bullied to death by an outsider, she will be beaten in the face in the end!

He and Song were relieved.

That's fine, that's fine, as long as the old lady is not so heartless that she doesn't care about anything!

*****

The moon shines crescent across Jiuzhou, and some families are happy and some are sad. The Zhen family is relieved, but the Zheng family is still worried.

What can I do about this? I can only tell my husband.

Since his home is not far from the academy, only two-quarters of an hour away, Qiao Hua does not live in the academy, but returns home from the academy every day after school.

When he returned home from the academy, for the first time, he didn't smell the aroma of the food at home. When he walked into the house, he saw Mrs. Zheng sitting on the kang, wiping tears from her eyes.

"What's wrong? Who bullied you?" Qiao Hua quickly walked over and sat down next to Zheng.

"Mom, she's been put in jail!" Mrs. Zheng cried and threw herself into Qiao Hua's arms. She explained the whole story clearly, and finally cried angrily: "That niece of yours is too ignorant.

No filial piety at all! Even if she harbors resentment towards mother, what does it have to do with the two of us? She doesn’t even give me any face! Mother didn’t let us husband and wife know when she did bad things. You think we

If we know, can we not stop it?"

Qiao Hua twisted her eyebrows with a headache.

"Mom, it's true... you can't give me any peace of mind every day!"

Why is he studying so hard? Isn't it just to become an official as soon as possible so that his family can get rid of poverty?

When he becomes an official, his family will be able to have enough food and clothing, and he may even be able to earn a royal life or royal life for his wife and mother. Why bother holding on to a big girl at this juncture?

Even if Da Ya is captured and brought home, how much will it be worth? Even if a picture of such a shriveled girl is sold to a brothel, it will only cost twenty guan, and whether it succeeds or not, it will be detrimental to his reputation.

It would do more harm than good. For the sake of a granddaughter whom he obviously could not recognize, his good future was tarnished. This business was a huge loss.

Qiao Hua looked at Mrs. Zheng who was still sobbing, and couldn't help but pat her back to express comfort, and asked: "You went to the Yamen and asked, did they tell me how many days she was originally detained?"

Zheng barely held back her tears, but she was still out of breath. She choked and answered: "I asked, and the jailer said that the crime of causing trouble in the street and disturbing public order usually requires five or six days of imprisonment, but my mother was in jail for only one day.

She couldn't stay any longer, so I went to deliver food, and she said that I must ask you to get her out. Husband... look..."

It was said that after waiting for five or six days, there would be no need for a public trial on the day of release. She could just pay the fine alone.

But if he wants to be released early, he will have to be interrogated again. At that time, Qiao Hua will inevitably have to come forward. He is a scholar and has more eloquence and knowledge than the woman. Shouldn't he be allowed to come forward to defend his wife?

Zheng thought that since Lu and Qiao Zaohua were imprisoned yesterday, they must have been tried and sentenced, and they just had to wait for the completion of their sentence.

She very much hoped that Qiao Hua would leave this matter alone, otherwise when the incident would become public knowledge, she would be completely embarrassed.

But what she didn't know was that Lu and her daughter were still in temporary custody pending trial, and Meng Renfu planned to leave them alone for a few days until the evidence of her murder was conclusive before being arraigned in court.

Therefore, it is not easy for anyone to do it now, not even paying more money.
