My scumbag sister stole my husband? I'm a scumbag and married my cowardly brother-in-law
Chapter 13 Go get 5 for your sister-in-law
The Xie family has three sons and two daughters. The main house is occupied by Xie's father and mother and their eighty-year-old mother. The two rooms on the east side are occupied by the eldest son and his family, as the eldest daughter is married. The two rooms on the west side are occupied by the three remaining children. The youngest Xie Yuting lives in the inner room, and the brothers Xie Changqing and Xie Changlin live in the outer room.
Since Xie Changqing got married, Xie Yuting and Xie Changlin could not live with him, but they had nowhere else to live if they didn't.
Fortunately, there were two dilapidated houses next door, which belonged to Xie Changqing's uncle. His uncle had only two daughters, and the houses had been empty since they got married. Xie Changqing bought them.
The house was in good condition, but the roof had been leaking for a long time. Xie Changqing bought some tiles and repaired it, and also broke through the middle wall. Its condition was now much worse than that of later buildings, but it was still habitable.
Wen Wan is satisfied as she doesn’t have to live under the same roof with her parents-in-law, even if the house is a little smaller.
Xie Changqing has a cold personality. The downside is that people are reluctant to approach him, but the upside is that after the banquet, few people dare to stay and make trouble in the bridal chamber.
There were a few stubborn ones who just made a fuss for a while and then left.
I was really afraid of angering Xie Changqing and getting beaten again.
Thinking of Lu Yiming's so-called friends in his previous life, none of them were good. Not only were they despicable troublemakers, but they were also dishonest and always looked for opportunities to touch and take advantage of Wen Wan.
I asked Lu Yiming for help, but was accused of being pretentious.
Marrying someone really does bring about a different life.
With things in mind, money in pocket, and a man around to protect her from the wind and rain, she doesn't have to work in the fields, doesn't have to be careful to please, doesn't have to give birth to children and raise them...
This kind of life is really great.
But I didn't expect that the joy would turn into sorrow after a while.
When Wen Wan was preparing to boil water to take a bath and go to bed, Xie Changqing's sister-in-law Zhang Lan started making a noise in the next yard.
I originally wanted to watch the fun, but when I heard the content of the quarrel, I found that she was involved.
When the villagers went to the Wen family to see the bride during the day, they heard that Xie Changqing gave the Wen family a dowry of 1,000 yuan. This news reached Zhang Lan's ears in the evening.
Zhang Lan was furious after hearing this. As soon as the guests left, she ran to the main house to quarrel with Xie's father and mother.
"Dad, Mom, I've been married to the Xie family for five years. I've worked hard and given birth to a grandson for you. Is it good enough for a daughter-in-law to do what I have done?
Who could have thought that you would be so biased that when you came to my house in advance, you said that our family was not well off and only gave 200 yuan as a betrothal gift.
When it was the second son's turn to get married, he didn't even ask whether he was well off or not, and just gave him a thousand directly.
One thousand! In just a few years, you already have five times more than I do. Do you know how the villagers laugh at me now?
Said I was worthless and a loser.
I am too ashamed to go out and see people now. I don’t want to live anymore. I’d rather die.”
Then there were sounds of pulling and things smashing in the house.
Wen Wan was a little amused and confused. How could she explain this?
Otherwise, why would I rather have two daughters than two sons? It’s really hard to treat these two daughters-in-law equally.
Even if the elderly can treat their children equally, the daughter-in-law will still feel that the elderly are being unfair.
What's more, it is a comparison between two hundred and one thousand. It is really difficult to evaluate without explaining the prerequisites.
But the purpose of this marriage is to cover up the fact that Xie Changqing is not capable. If this precondition is stated, the whole thing will be meaningless.
It's really a dilemma.
Just as she was about to enter the house, she saw Zhang Lan walking towards her, shaking off her husband Xie Changshan's hand, cursing as she did so.
"Now it's your parents who are bullying me, your wife, and you not only don't stand up for me, but you also drag me into it. You coward, what kind of man are you?"
"Today is a good day for the second child. Can we make trouble tomorrow? Come back with me."
"What the hell? If I'm not happy, no one else can be happy."
Wen Wanxin said that this woman's mental state was worth learning from.
"Second daughter-in-law, shall we go to the main house and talk about it or just here?"
Wen Wan: ...
say what?
What does this have to do with her?
Wen Wan said, "My uncle drank too much. Xie Changqing sent him back. I asked him to go to the main house when he comes back."
"If I'm not looking for the second brother, I'll look for you." Zhang Lan grabbed Wen Wan's arm and dragged her to the next yard.
Wen Wan finally understood why Zhang Lan asked Xie Changqing to send her uncle home. It turned out that she wanted to be alone so that she could deal with her more easily.
Perhaps because he didn't want to be laughed at, Xie Changshan, who was following behind him, closed the gate.
The onlookers looked at the courtyard wall that was more than a meter high, felt that they could not hear any useful information, and went back to their homes in boredom.
Grandma Xie was in poor health and was deaf, so she went to bed early in the inner room.
Xie's father and mother sat on the upper side. Zhang Lan pulled over a bamboo chair and sat down with her arms folded across her chest. "You, the Xie family, must give me an explanation today."
Seeing his wife like this, Xie Changshan sighed, pulled up his pants, squatted at the door and started smoking.
Wen Wan had just arrived and was unsure of the temperaments of the people there, so she didn't speak rashly. Unexpectedly, Father Xie waited for a while and said directly:
"Second brother, I heard that your parents asked you to bring the betrothal gifts here. Go and take out 500 yuan to give to your sister-in-law."
It was indeed used against her.
Wen Wan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Money is really not a good thing, especially when you have it and others don't, especially when others' fighting power is higher than yours.
If I had known this earlier, I would not have let Xu Fengqin say that she should take Babai with her when she gets married. Xu Fengqin would not have been remembered by others, but she was remembered by others.
She is still too naive.
Wen Wan said: "Dad, the betrothal gift given to the woman is her personal property. I don't owe my sister-in-law money and I have no obligation to give her money."
"Dad, this is the daughter-in-law you married with a thousand yuan dowry. What kind of thing is this she said?" Zhang Lan said.
Wen Wan didn't know if this was planned in advance by the Xie family. They would first give a sky-high betrothal gift of one thousand yuan, and then after the marriage was settled, they would stage a play to ask for the money back.
Or was this just something Zhang Lan came up with on the spur of the moment?
No matter which situation it was, Wen Wan didn't like it very much.
In her previous life, she was always cautious and afraid of making others unhappy, which made her live a depressed life. In this life, she doesn’t want to pamper anyone anymore.
"Human words," Wen Wan retorted to her, "Didn't you understand? If you didn't understand, I can say it again. I don't owe you money and I have no obligation to give you money."
"How dare you!" Father Xie's eyes widened in anger. "How dare you talk to your elders like that? Is this how your mother's family taught you to behave?"
"I'm sorry, my family has only taught me that fathers should be kind and sons should be filial, and the premise of filial piety is that the father is kind. I just got married and you want me to pay back the betrothal gift. This is not something a kind father can do.
Besides, I didn’t curse any of you. I always called you “Dad” and “Your” when I spoke to you. I don’t think I did anything disrespectful.”
Mr. Xie wanted to say something but didn't know what to say. His face turned blue and red, which was so beautiful.
Zhang Lan said: "As expected, she hangs out with those educated youths all day long, and her way of speaking is different from the well-behaved women in our countryside.
Don’t you look at what kind of person you are? The thing that Lu Yiming didn’t want was married to our second brother. Do you really think you are worth a thousand?
It's so funny, I think it's too expensive to spend a hundred dollars to marry someone like you who has a bad reputation."
