Soul: At the beginning, the father died, and the eldest and second brothers wanted to separate the f

The second branch had heard the noise here a long time ago, but had never come out to deny it. Xie Jiaojiao glanced at Chen Hongju, whose face was swollen like a pig's head, and shook her head in her heart. She was being used as a target by others again. Why was it always you who got hurt? Hahahahaha.

When they got to the main hall, Zhou Cuihong took one look at Chen Hongju's face, tried hard to suppress the corners of her mouth that were about to smile, and asked with pretended concern: "Hey, sister-in-law, what's wrong with you?"

Xie Jiaojiao sneered in her heart. What could she do? Chen Hongju was screaming so loudly in the room, and Sun Ruhua's voice was also so loud. How could you not know what was wrong with her?

Chen Hongju turned her face away: "Stop pretending to be sympathetic!"

Before Sun Ruhua could speak, Xie Zhishu spoke up: "Second brother, did we ask you to tell mother to sell the land and pay back the money to Wu Dashan?"

Xie Zhili immediately shook his head: "No."

Chen Hongju instantly became excited and shouted aggrievedly: "Mom!"

Sun Ruhua looked at Xie Zhili and said, "Second brother, at this point, you don't have to hide it for them. Mother knows exactly what kind of people they are."

Xie Jiaojiao listened to what Sun Ruhua said and shook her head in her heart: This cheap mother is a little naive.

Xie Zhili stopped talking. By keeping silent, he meant that he agreed with what Sun Ruhua said.

Xie Zhishu was so angry that he couldn't express it.

Chen Hongju opened her mouth dissatisfied: "Mom, we have already told you that it was not us who asked Second Uncle to tell you, and Second Uncle also denied it, and now you still don't believe it."

After saying that, Chen Hongju pointed at Zhou Cuihong and said, "It must be you. Did you ask Second Uncle to say it and then sow discord between Mother and our first wife?"

Sun Ruhua looked at Zhou Cuihong, who immediately felt aggrieved: "Sister-in-law, you are wronged! It was obviously you who wanted to find money to solve Meng'er's problem. The head of the family and I were kind enough to help you, but now you are blaming us back!"

After saying that, I almost burst into tears.

Chen Hongju was so angry that she couldn't speak. She said to Sun Ruhua, "Mom, she's just pretending!"

"That's enough! Don't you think you're wrong yet?"

Chen Hongju felt that she was very wronged.

"Mom, you are too biased. They clearly said it themselves, but you insist that it was our family who said it. As the head of the family, I feel like we can't live like this anymore!"

Xie Zhishu also felt that his mother was partial to him, and stared at Sun Ruhua with some resentment.

Sun Ruhua was so angry: "Do you think I'm biased?"

Chen Hongju ignored Sun Ruhua, but the expression on her face said it all.

Sun Ruhua said to Xie Zhishu, "When your father was sick, there was no money at home. I asked you to take out your own money to treat your father. What did your eldest wife do? You didn't take a penny, but Zhili took out all the money from his own wife's house!"

"Based on this alone, they would never push me to sell the land!"

"Besides, you two mentioned the matter of selling the land when your father was ill. Am I wrong?"

Hearing what Sun Ruhua said, Chen Hongju also became serious: "Mom, it's not right for you to say that. Don't we want to take it? You know why our family has not saved any money for all these years! Every year, it is our eldest family who goes to perform labor service. You always use the excuse that Second Uncle is in poor health, so he has never gone. Usually, our eldest family does more work in the fields. When Second Uncle is free, he can weave some things and take them to the town to exchange for money. But what about our eldest family? We have to perform labor service in the spring, and go up the mountain to chop firewood after the autumn harvest. We never have a moment of leisure! How can we have time to make money! We also want Dad to be able to straighten his hands when he is sick, but we don't have a penny in our pockets! What do you want us to do?" At the end, Chen Hongju cried aggrievedly.

Xie Zhishu felt very aggrieved when he heard what his wife said, and he held Chen Hongju in his arms.

"Mom, we didn't mention this matter anyway, you can believe it or not! But you have to take care of your granddaughter's affairs no matter what."

Sun Ruhua was blocked by Chen Hongju's words, and felt a little guilty: "How do you want me to manage it?"

"My second brother and his friends took half of the silver and left. Ask them to give it back!"

"Brother, we didn't..."

"I don't care if you have any! If this is the money Xie Jiaojiao, my younger sister, earned by selling her body, I would have nothing to say if you two took it! But this is the daughter of our eldest wife, your niece's money, how dare you take it!"

Xie Jiaojiao rolled her eyes.

The two were about to say something when Xie Jiaojiao interrupted them: "Mom, I think big brother is right!" She really couldn't bear to watch it any longer.

She didn't know the reason at first, but after hearing what Chen Hongju said just now, she felt that the second branch was going too far.

"Jiaojiao, how come even you..."

Xie Jiaojiao held Sun Ruhua's hand and said, "Mom, put yourself in their shoes. If this is the money that the eldest brother and his wife gave to their daughter to marry off, and the second brother and his wife want to share it, it's really unreasonable."

Chen Hongju and Xie Zhishu were both surprised that Xie Jiaojiao would speak up for their family.

Zhou Cuihong was furious and thought to herself, why is this damn girl Xie Jiaojiao everywhere!

"Mom, we don't have any money! You know, when Dad fell ill, we spent all our money and also borrowed money from others. We have to pay it back now!" Zhou Cuihong looked pitiful.

Sun Ruhua was about to speak, but Xie Jiaojiao pulled her back and turned to Zhou Cuihong: "Second sister-in-law, if I remember correctly, I remember that your room only took a few dozen copper coins, and borrowed a few coins from others to make up the whole number, right? But you divided 1 tael and 5 coins of this silver, could it be that you borrowed these coins from a loan shark? The interest is so high? Did you pay it all back to others?"

A series of questions left Zhou Cuihong speechless.

Seeing his wife being embarrassed, Xie Zhili said, "Mom is talking to our two sons, why are you, a girl, butting in?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Jiaojiao looked at Sun Ruhua aggrievedly: "Mom..."

Sun Ruhua was heartbroken: "Second brother, what are you talking about? Jiaojiao is a member of our family. If you can speak, why can't she?"

Zhou Cuihong pulled Xie Zhili and told him to stop talking.

When Sun Ruhua thought of Xie Meng'er's matter, she looked at the people in front of her and said, "After all, this matter was caused by you. If you hadn't had bad intentions and exchanged your sister for money, this wouldn't have happened!"

Several people lowered their heads and said nothing.

Xie Zhishu finally said, "Anyway, you can't ignore this matter, mother. Meng'er can't really marry that old scoundrel Wu Dashan."

Chen Hongju thinks her man is great!

"Second brother, give the remaining silver to your eldest brother!"

"mother!"

"give him!"

Xie Zhili didn't move, and since he didn't move, Zhou Cuihong didn't move either.

Seeing that the two of them didn't move, Sun Ruhua suddenly became angry: "Didn't you hear it?"

"We have no money!" Xie Zhili said righteously.

Sun Ruhua was so angry.

"Do you two just want to piss me off to death? Your father is leaving!" Seeing that Sun Ruhua's face was not right, Xie Jiaojiao hurriedly stepped forward to support Sun Ruhua, fearing that something might happen to her.

Even though his mother was like this, Xie Zhili remained unmoved and stood there like a wooden stake.

"Mom, I think they just don't want to take out the money!" Chen Hongju said gritting her teeth.

Xie Jiaojiao yelled at the four people, "That's enough! How can you force Mom like this? This is obviously a matter you caused, and you don't know how to solve it. You have to make a fuss to Mom... Oh no, you have to make a fuss to Mom! What do you want? Dad, oh no, Dad is leaving, do you want to make Mom angry and leave too?"

If it was Sun Ruhua who spoke, the four of them would not say anything, but this was Xie Jiaojiao. Xie Zhishu and Xie Zhili all felt that the root of all this was that Xie Jiaojiao was unwilling to marry Wu Dashan, which caused so many troubles later, so the two of them were not happy with her.
