Old things

"Xiao is really my child."

"Your child? She didn't come out of your belly. What you raised was just a white-eyed wolf. Your brother's children are your biological nephews. I haven't seen you spend half a cent on them."

"Mom, it was you who told me to cut off our relationship, and it was you who disliked me because the Xiao family was poor. The dowry I am giving to Ah Zhen now is all Ah Zhen's hard earned money, and it should be given to her."

"I'm not here to quarrel with you today," the old woman said impatiently, "Give me ten taels of silver. Your brother has suffered some losses in business recently."

"What? Ten taels?" Aunt Xiao looked at her mother in disbelief. She was so angry that she couldn't utter a word. It took a long time before she said: "I, where can I get ten taels of silver?"

"How come there isn't? I think the dowry you gave Xiao Zhen is more than ten taels of silver, right?" Seeing her daughter looking at her with a pale face, the old woman snorted coldly: "If you don't have ten taels, eight taels will do, and the rest will be fine."

Let’s wait until the next two taels have passed this year first.”

Aunt Xiao gritted her teeth: "No, not even a tael. When I married into the Xiao family, my mother took all my private money, including the bride price from the Xiao family, and didn't give me a penny. Now, my mother

Why do you have the nerve to ask me for it again?"

"If I don't ask you, who should I ask for? Your brother is in trouble, so you should sell your house and land."

As soon as the old woman finished speaking, a small chair fell out of the room and broke into pieces. Uncle Xiao walked out with a pale face.

Aunt Xiao and the old woman were startled by the sound of the chair falling out. When the old woman saw Uncle Xiao, her frightened face turned into a look of disdain: "Hey, who am I? I'm so capable.

, dare to throw a stool at me?"

"Our Xiao family doesn't owe you a penny, you, you go." Uncle Xiao was so angry that his hand trembling as he pointed at the door.

"I won't leave until I get the money." The old woman put her hands on her waist and looked domineering, confirming that the Xiao family did not dare to do anything to her.

Xiao Zhen looked at her uncle and aunt who were very angry but had no choice but to deal with their mother and mother-in-law. Although her family was poor and her aunt was fierce, she had always been willing to tolerate being bullied by her parents.

Xiao Zhen entered the courtyard and spoke out, breaking the deadlock.

"Grandma, I have two taels of silver here. You can use it first." If the aunt has children, she should call the old woman grandma. Naturally, Xiao Zhen should follow suit. After saying that, Xiao Zhen took it from his arms.

He took out two taels of silver and put them into the old woman's hands.

The old woman's face was not good at all. When she saw Xiao Zhen, she thought that all her daughter's money was used to buy a dowry for this loser, and her face became even worse. However, she did not expect that Xiao Zhen would stuff two taels of silver over her. She was stunned for a moment and then immediately

She put on a smile: "Ah Zhen is still generous, but two taels are not enough?" But she was thinking in her heart. She originally wanted to see if the Xiao family was as rich as the people in Tangxia Village said.

Liang was just talking casually, but he didn't expect that a girl who had not left the court would actually make two liang with one move. It can be seen that the Xiao family is really different from the past now.

"Two taels is enough for a family for two months. If the family is in trouble, as a daughter, my aunt will naturally help, but no matter how much, she can only provide so much. If grandma needs more money, she should help her immediately.

It's better to have an IOU." Xiao Zhen said calmly.

"IOU?" The old woman's face turned blue and white for a while.

"Well, although aunt is your daughter, after all, aunt is married and has her own family. She takes over too much of her parents' family, but leaves her family with no food, clothing or warmth. Doesn't this make sense?"

"Why don't you have enough food and clothing? I just looked at your dowry. You can't buy it for even ten taels of silver. Even the dowry is so rich, how can you not save dozens of taels?"

Xiao Zhen glanced at his indignant uncle, and then saw the sadness on his aunt's face. He was also angry in his heart, but he still said calmly: "When a family doesn't even have a box of money, isn't it going to starve to death on the streets?

?Does grandma want to see our Xiao family fail like this?"

The old woman curled her lips.

"Besides, it doesn't matter how much money the Xiao family has saved, it doesn't matter to grandma. I just said that these two taels of silver were given to grandma by my aunt as her daughter. If grandma wants more, she has to get it from the Xiao family.

I need to write an IOU."

"You, who do you think you are? This is your aunt's house, not yours. Do you want to take care of it?" The old woman lost her dignity.

"Ah Zhen and we are one family." Xiao Zhen said this to her mother. Aunt Xiao was angry and angry at the side, but there was nothing she could do.

"A family? Oh, you're talking nice now. When she came to your house fifteen years ago, you said in front of me that she was just a loser, and you said you could just throw her away so that you wouldn't waste food rations.

, now that she can marry into a good family, she will act as a loving mother?"

"I, when did I say this?" Aunt Xiao glanced at Xiao Zhen in a panic, fearing that she would think too much: "Don't listen to her nonsense."

"Am I talking nonsense?" the old woman said sharply: "If I talk nonsense, I will be struck by lightning. Do you dare to say this? Who was so cruel that Xiao Zhen went to the mountains to hunt at the age of 8? If it hadn't been for Mr. Xiao at that time

His legs were bitten by wild beasts, and the family is short of labor, so you still don't know how to treat Xiao Zhen?"

Aunt Xiao's face turned pale, but she was unable to refute her mother's words. She did not expect that her biological mother would bring out old things and talk about them in front of Xiao Zhen, making it clear that her family would not be able to live in peace.

She didn't dare to look into Xiao Zhen's eyes, nor her husband's face.

And at some point, the outside of the Xiao family's house was filled with villagers watching the excitement. They were all pointing at the Xiao family and Aunt Xiao.

Uncle Xiao listened in disbelief to what his mother-in-law said. He couldn't help but think of what happened more than ten years ago. Xiao Zhen was only three years old when his eldest brother died. Although he loved Ah Zhen, he had to go hunting in the mountains every day.

He came back very late. Although he sometimes found some marks of beatings on Ah Zhen's body, he never doubted his mother-in-law.

It wasn't until Xiao Zhen was eight years old that his foot was bitten by Ye Zeng, but his mother-in-law asked eight-year-old Xiao Zhen to go hunting in the mountains. Even if she couldn't catch half a bird, the villagers would always pick her apart when they saw her young age.

It's just that he didn't agree to it. Unexpectedly, Xiao Zhen himself agreed.

In the first year, it can be said that Xiao Zhen hardly caught any prey. People in the same village would pity her and bring back some small prey for her, but as time went by, they stopped. At that time, he saw Xiao Zhen again.

There were some bruises, but the child never mentioned it. Although he had suspicions, he had become lame at that time and had to be taken care of by his mother-in-law. He was also afraid of her mother-in-law making trouble, so he endured it.
