Chapter 34: You ruined your sister's marriage
"Only those who hide their own private money will cry thief. Fourth Aunt, why don't I take grandpa and grandma to look for it? Maybe this broken yard of ours can generate some money on its own!"
When Luo heard Jiang Youzhen's words, she suddenly felt guilty.
Could it be that the two cents of silver that I hid in the woodshed was seen by Erlang again? This guy is really weird, how come he can know where I hide it?
In fact, how could Jiang Youzhen know? The silver in the toilet last time was accidentally seen by the original owner.
She was trying to trick Luo, but as soon as she saw Luo's appearance, she knew she had been tricked, right?
After dealing with Luo, Jiang Youzhen turned his gaze to the old lady who was looking at Luo with suspicion.
"Grandma, we borrowed money from the village head to buy tiles. The house is leaking everywhere and we are almost freezing to death. There is really nothing we can do."
Jiang Youzhen turned around and said, "Dad! Have we given our grandparents the pension money they should give them?"
"Ah! I gave it to you yesterday after I borrowed some money from the head of the village."
Jiang Fugui nodded. He wanted to say that he had paid back the money he borrowed from the head of the village early this morning.
But fortunately, although he is honest, he is not stupid, so this cannot be said.
Otherwise, the villagers would be jealous if they knew his family was rich.
One should not show off his wealth. Besides, he knew his parents' personalities very well. If they knew about it, there would be endless trouble.
The girls in the family have reached the age of getting married, and he, as a father, has no ability, but the remaining money is for the daughter's dowry, and he cannot touch it.
Jiang Youzhen turned to look at his grandfather Jiang He who remained silent, "Grandpa! We just divided the family property yesterday. The documents for the division are all here. It is written in black and white that I have to pay three taels and six cents of silver a year as a tribute.
You said you wanted to pay back the Li family first, so we borrowed money from the village head and raised the money for you. Now we are a family but not a household, so it is unreasonable to make a fuss like this."
Jiang He's face twitched, "It's true that we have divided the family, but the second son is still my son. His mother drinks porridge every day, and she really can't stand it. Isn't it right to ask her son for two steamed buns to fill her stomach?"
This old man is really shameless! Ever since the villagers knew that he was going to sell her, he has become even more shameless.
"Jiang He, please stop making things difficult for your second son. You are so poor. He only asked someone to help make the steamed buns. Why are you doing this?"
Some old people in the village couldn't stand it anymore. The second son of the Jiang family was really a sinner! He had such a father and so many brothers.
Everyone was talking about it, saying that Jiang He's heart was in his armpits.
Jiang Youzhen laughed out of anger, "The separation document says that we live our own lives, but if you want to eat steamed buns, we will give it to you even if we risk our lives."
The old man was a little stunned, but Jiang Youzhen bowed to the crowd watching the fun.
"Dear uncles, aunts and great-grandmothers, I am sorry to trouble you all today. My family is still in foreign debt and I really don't have the money to meet my grandparents' request.
I beg you to lend us some money so that my grandparents can have some bread. We will pay you back as soon as we have the money. "
When everyone heard about borrowing money, they immediately held their chests tightly.
They were just there to watch the fun, why would they borrow money from them?
"Jiang Jia Erlang, you guys are always borrowing money and it's not working! What are you going to use to pay it back?
We were poor too! We were also poor every day, so poor that we had to go out barefoot to fish for it, and no one had any steamed buns to eat!"
"That's right! Mr. Jiang, please stop making things difficult for the younger generation. Look how much you've forced the child."
Listening to the one-sided accusations and discussions from the crowd, the old man suddenly felt that perhaps he would be in trouble again today.
He looked at Erlang deeply and remembered what the fortune teller had said.
It’s so accurate. He really can’t control Erlang now.
"I don't care. I just want to eat steamed buns. And these tiles have to be used to cover the east wing. The fourth brother and his family are cold too."
The old lady started to make a fuss and was determined to cheat.
Jiang Youzhen ignored the old lady. She stepped forward and held the old man's arm.
"Grandpa, even clay figures still have some rusticity! Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. If you don't let us go, I won't let my uncle and fourth brother go.
If you don't let us live a good life, then I will make them live a bad life. If you really push me to the limit, who knows, we will end up in a dead end."
Jiang Youzhen whispered something in the old man's ear, but his face was full of smiles.
The old man was shocked when he heard this. He looked up at Jiang Youzhen and found that Jiang Youzhen's eyes were full of coldness, even a bit of viciousness.
He shuddered violently and suddenly felt that with Jilang's current personality, this was very likely to happen.
"I will pay you a lot of tribute in the future, but if you keep causing trouble, I will have to teach you a lesson.
"My uncle works as an accountant in a silk shop. He earns a lot of money every month, right? What do you think if I ruin his job?"
The old man was shocked, "You dare?"
"Do you think I dare?" Jiang Youzhen smiled, but her smile was so terrifying in the old man's eyes.
His hands began to tremble uncontrollably and his face turned pale.
I don’t know why, but now when facing Jilang, he always feels a little scared.
"Grandpa, don't worry. Once I find a job, I will definitely honor you in the future. It's cold, you and grandma should go back first!" Jiang Youzhen suddenly said loudly.
The old man was forcefully helped up by Jiang Youzhen. For a moment, he was actually stunned by Jiang Youzhen.
"I believe that Grandpa will be able to control the rest of the family, right? If something like this happens again, I will not be lenient and will directly target Uncle."
When the old man heard Jiang Youzhen's tone, he felt a chill run down his spine.
"Erlang, you don't know how to respect your elders. I will ruin your sister's marriage! I don't think any family would dare to marry a girl who doesn't know how to respect her elders."
The old lady tossed and turned all night, and thought she had found a way to control the second wife, so she spoke with confidence.
"Grandpa?" Jiang Youzhen tightly grasped the old man's arm. At this moment, her grip was surprisingly strong, and the old man actually felt pain.
Dare to threaten me with the three sisters? Then give it a try.
The villagers around were talking loudly, lamenting that the old lady was trying to force the second son's family to death.
"I've never seen such a cruel grandparent. She kept Arya until she was eighteen years old, and she even used her marriage as a pretext."
"Isn't it? That's too cruel!"
The three sisters' eyes were red. Erya turned her back to wipe her tears, feeling aggrieved.
Si Ya had a bad temper and wanted to confront the old lady, but San Ya grabbed her sleeve.
"Go back!" The old man suddenly shouted to the old lady.
The old lady was stunned, "Old man, the fourth child is still freezing!"
Everyone suddenly realized that it was not about steamed buns, but about tiles.
"This is too biased. Why do you have to give your brother a new house after dividing the family property? The fourth son of the Jiang family has no hands or feet?"
"I told you to go back first, can't you hear me?"
The old man originally wanted to use filial piety as an excuse to see if the second son could still come up with some money.
But the old woman was so stupid that she insisted on speaking out. If she continued, the fourth son's reputation would be ruined.
