Chapter 151 Putting aside the issue of taking a concubine, aren’t you at fault?
"Second brother! I don't think Erlang meant it unintentionally! She really despises our father and wants to be recognized under the name of Eighth Uncle! She is being unfilial, and if anyone tells others about it, they will stab her in the back."
Jiang Hailin snorted coldly. He finally caught Jiang Youzhen's handle. If this kid dared to say it, he would dare to publicize it.
Jiang Youzhen, who was behind Jiang Fugui, curled his lips. She just said what she wanted to do! Could they still arrest her and bring her before the authorities?
"Old Four, you should stop talking too much. Why are you arguing with a junior? Help dad sit down!"
Jiang Fugui glared at Jiang Youzhen as he spoke, then stepped forward and supported the old man.
"Fourth uncle, don't add fuel to the fire. If that's the case, I'll tell you about the dirty things you and uncle did, and let everyone judge for themselves."
Jiang Youzhen sneered, ignoring Jiang Fugui's wink at her.
Jiang Hailin was stunned, then felt guilty for a moment, but after a moment, he still said fiercely: "What kind of dirty things can I do? Don't slander me!"
Luo, who was standing by, raised his eyebrows and looked at Jiang Hailin suspiciously, "What's the matter? Erlang, tell me!"
Jiang Youzhen just raised his eyebrows and looked at Jiang Hailin. In Jiang Hailin's opinion, Jiang Youzhen knew his weakness and was provoking him!
"What can happen to me? She is just talking nonsense. She thinks I am the same as her eldest brother!" Jiang Hailin didn't dare to look at Jiang Youzhen again and looked away.
"What could have happened to your eldest brother? Fourth brother, explain it to me clearly." Little Chen, who was watching the show at the side, immediately seized on his words and asked suspiciously.
"Dad! Why didn't you let anyone inform me when such a big thing happened?" At this time, Jiang Haiqing's figure suddenly appeared outside the door. He stepped over the threshold and looked at everyone.
His eyes fell on Jiang Youzhen, and he continued, "It's rare for my third sister to come back, and you didn't ask anyone to call me back. If the villagers hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known about it! I haven't seen my third sister for more than a year, and she looks a lot thinner."
"Wuuuu...Brother! You are finally back, you have to make the decision for me!" Jiang Yue Niang started crying again.
"I just overheard at the door. You really need us to take action in this matter. We brothers are your support. What the Lu family did is a slap in the face of our Jiang family. There is no reason to drive the wife out of the house just because you want to take a concubine."
Jiang Yue Niang was a little displeased when she heard the words "kicked out of the house", but she didn't say anything and just wiped her tears.
Jiang Youzhen understood, so it seemed that he had returned a long time ago, and he might have been listening outside for a long time. If he hadn't been mentioned, he probably wouldn't have come out and would have continued to listen! It was really obvious.
"But I still want to say something to you. Let's take a step back and put aside the issue of taking a concubine. Third sister, aren't you at fault?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the room looked at Jiang Haiqing in surprise.
Jiang Yue Niang was even more confused. After a long while, she said, "Brother, what do you mean? How am I wrong? I gave birth to his children and took care of the family. Is this wrong?"
Jiang Haiqing pointed at Jiang Yueniang and said, "Even if you are my biological sister, I will still stand on the side of reason rather than the relationship. Among the seven grounds for divorce, you have violated the one of jealousy. A woman's jealousy leads to family disharmony and marital discord, and this is one of the seven grounds for divorce."
When Jiang Yue Niang heard this, her hair almost stood on end.
"Brother, I don't like what you said. Although my family is relatively well-off, we don't have much surplus. Qian'er and Yu'er are about to get married, where will the betrothal gifts and dowry come from? The whole family is waiting to eat, but he uses the money to support his mistress and take in concubines. Doesn't that mean there will be one more mouth to feed in the family? If he has a few more children, there will be a few more mouths to feed. Isn't it a problem to have food and shelter?"
Jiang Yue Niang looked at her elder brother coldly. She didn't expect her family to say this.
"That's right. We are a poor family and we don't have concubines." Jiang Fugui agreed with this. He had never thought about it before his family was poor. Even if his family became better off in the future, he would not take a concubine.
Shen has been with him through so many years of hardship, and now he is taking a concubine to annoy Shen. Is he still a human being?
"That's his fault. I'm talking about your fault now. Don't change the subject. Anyway, you did commit one of the seven grounds for divorce. If he wants to divorce you based on this, he won't be able to argue with you."
Jiang Haiqing waved his hand and interrupted Jiang Yueniang.
Jiang Yue Niang was so angry that her chest heaved violently. She didn't expect that her elder brother would not help her.
"Boss, what Yue Niang said is right. If there is no money in the family, how can we take a concubine? Will they all starve to death and let that slut get away with it? As the eldest brother, you have to help Yue Niang."
The old lady was immediately dissatisfied. She was also surprised that the eldest brother did not help Yue Niang this time, but helped Lu Dashan instead.
However, Jiang Youzhen, who was standing by, understood the reason after a little thought. It turned out that this was to pave the way for the future exposure of the truth! She glanced at Xiao Chen, whose face was uncertain. Xiao Chen was such a smart person, she was probably already suspicious.
"Hehe! Mom, I'm not saying that I won't help my third sister, but we need to analyze who is right and who is wrong in this matter first!" Jiang Haiqing said helplessly.
"Who cares who is right or wrong? Even if it's not your sister's fault, you have to help your sister. You siblings are connected by bones and tendons, and it's unreasonable for you to help outsiders."
The old lady doesn't care who is right or wrong, her daughter can't be wrong.
This is very old-lady-like. At this moment, Jiang Youzhen felt that the old-lady was very protective of her children, except Jiang Fugui of course.
"Now that you're back and you're the eldest in the family, what do you think we should do?" asked the old man.
Jiang Haiqing pondered for a moment and said, "Dad! Since my brother-in-law is determined to take a concubine, it's useless for us to oppose him. In this case, I think what my third sister said actually makes sense.
Let's give Third Sister some dowry, so that she can hold the dowry and feel confident, and then she won't have to be afraid of the concubine. When the concubine comes in, won't the mistress have the final say? Can she be more powerful than the younger sister? It's the younger sister's business to torture her, won't it be easy to control her?"
The old man, the old lady and Jiang Yue Niang's faces suddenly brightened up, and the old man said, "Then how much should we give? Giving less is useless."
"The Lu family's dozen acres of land is their support. In this case, let's give our sister another ten acres of land and buy her a shop in Niuhua Town. With these, she won't have to worry about not having a good life in the future."
When Jiang Yue Niang heard this, she was a little surprised, but then she was overjoyed.
She and Lu Dashan were already an old married couple. He took a concubine, so she was naturally resentful and jealous, but it was indeed not as practical as money. With all these, what else was she afraid of? Even her mother-in-law didn't dare to show her a bad face.
When the old man heard this, he thought, this must be two or three hundred taels? Isn't it a bit too much? He only gave two taels, and the second son was willing to pay the rest? Can the second son have so much money?
"Second brother, what do you think?" Jiang Haiqing asked.
