My scumbag sister stole my husband? I'm a scumbag and married my cowardly brother-in-law

"Sister-in-law, when you say this, I know you haven't read much. You don't know that educated youth means educated youth and that this is a political policy proposed by the great Chairman. Your words are full of contempt for them. Aren't you afraid of being criticized if this gets out?"

In 1976, it was still a special period. If you said something wrong, you would be at risk of being criticized and sent to labor camp.

Sure enough, Zhang Lan’s face turned as pale as a piece of waste paper after hearing this.

Wen Wan continued, "Birds of a feather flock together. I don't think there's anything wrong with me dealing with knowledgeable people. On the contrary, I should have less dealings with people like my sister-in-law who have an unsteady political stance."

"What nonsense are you talking about? When did I... become unsteady?" Zhang Lan began to stutter nervously.

“I am indeed not worth a thousand, because I am not a commodity, I am a human being, and the value of a human being cannot be measured by money.

My sister-in-law feels that her betrothal gift is too little. Does she think she should be worth more or that her price has been underestimated? "

Zhang Lan thought about it for a moment, "Are you calling me a commodity?"

Not only is he a piece of shit, he's also a fool. Wen Wan smiled and thought to herself that fortunately he's not too stupid.

"You..." Zhang Lan gritted her teeth and muttered for a long time. She wanted to curse but was afraid that she would say something that would give her a handle. Her face turned purple with frustration.

Wen Wan was too lazy to argue with this family anymore, so she raised her eyelids and said, "It's getting late, I'm going to go back and rest."

"Stop!" Xie's father began to put on the dignity of the head of the family, "Once you marry into the Xie family, you are the daughter-in-law of the Xie family. The Xie family's father has the final say. Take out five hundred and give it to your sister-in-law."

Wen Wan sighed speechlessly and decided to reason with him first, "Dad, why did Xie Changqing give so much betrothal gifts, don't you know?

If you insist that I return to you, I can only ask the village chief to cancel the engagement."

"Okay! Since you want to cancel the engagement, you must return every penny of the betrothal gift and the money for today's banquet."

Wen Wan was now certain that Zhang Lan was making a fuss about this matter just to find an excuse to make her return the betrothal gift, and that the old man had set up the trap.

Wen Wan was once again speechless, "Since you said so, let's invite the elders of both families and the village chief over and explain everything clearly.

Let them settle this matter for us.”

How could a father-in-law ask for a dowry from his daughter-in-law on the first day of the wedding? How could he save face if others knew about it?

After hearing this, Xie's father finally stopped being so arrogant. He glared at her and began to lower his head to fill his pipe with tobacco.

Xie's mother said, "My second daughter-in-law! I know it's a bit too much to ask you to give money to your sister-in-law, but the most important thing in life is a harmonious family. You just came to our house, so it's not good to make the relationship too awkward.

To put it bluntly, if you and the second brother are bullied in the village in the future, don't we, the family, have to help you?

I'll give your sister-in-law 500! Be obedient!"

Come forward?

Not stabbing you in the back is a huge favor.

Wen Wan said: "A harmonious family is the foundation of everyone's hard work. If a harmonious family is achieved through sacrifice, then it is better not to have a harmonious family.

I just got married and my sister-in-law is already asking me to give her the betrothal gift. Isn't this the way she wants to make peace with my family? "

"Second brother's wife! That's not what you said. We only gave your eldest sister-in-law two hundred yuan as a dowry when she got married. We did give you too much when you got married. We really didn't treat you equally."

Father Wen said, "How can such a person reason with her? The money was paid by me. Even if it wasn't paid by me, it belongs to the Xie family. I asked you to take it out, so you have to take it out."

Only then did Wen Wan realize that trying to reason with an unreasonable person was like teaching a pig to solve an equation, and it would only cause trouble for herself.

Seeing Wen Wan was about to leave, Zhang Lan stood up and blocked the door, "If you don't take out the money today, don't even think about leaving this door."

Seeing that Xie Changqing was about to come back, Mother Wen said, "Don't waste time talking to her. Search her body first. If there's nothing on her, search her room."

"you dare?"

"Why shouldn't I be afraid of you? You have thin arms and legs. I'm not afraid of you."

As Zhang Lan spoke, she really stretched out her hand, but just when she had stretched out half of her hand, Wen Wan grabbed her wrist and pulled it apart.

"It hurts! It hurts... Let go!"

"What a rebellion!" Father Wen threw his pipe in anger and slammed the table, "Boss, are you just going to watch your wife being bullied?"

Wen Wan held Zhang Lan's wrist with one hand and was on guard with the other, staring at Xie Changshan's movements, trying to judge how to respond if he really attacked her.

Just as she was thinking about whether to push the man onto Xie Changshan and run away or to give Xie Changshan a sweeping kick, the courtyard door slammed shut.

The gate to the courtyard was open, and the moonlight stretched the man's tall figure very long, with only half of his expression revealed on his face. The corners that were not illuminated by the moonlight were even more eerie and terrifying.

What did Wen Wan say? In this age where fists are more effective than reason, having a tall and strong man by your side is more effective than any reason.

only……

I just don't know whether this man is helping the father, son, mother, son and brothers who are connected by the same blood, or helping her, the newly married daughter-in-law.

Wen Wan suddenly understood why Wen Ya used the word "coward" to describe Xie Changqing. It should mean that when she had a conflict with the Xie family, Xie Changqing only stood on the Xie family's side and never on her side.

He also understood why Wen Ya told her to "strike the first blow to prevent a hundred blows".

She is a weak woman, but she has to be so stubborn as to confront her parents and brothers who are connected to her by blood.

Isn't this just courting death?

Wen Ya will not stop until she kills her!

Wen Wan let go of Zhang Lan, patted the dust off her hands and said, "Let's go to the village chief to cancel the engagement! I will return the betrothal gift, but only part of it first. I will write an IOU for the rest, and I will definitely pay it back within two months."

"Back off!" Zhang Lan said, "You were rejected by your in-laws on your wedding night. I don't think anyone would want you."

"He forced his wife to break off the engagement on the wedding night. No one should dare to marry into the Xie family!

And I’m not a parasite, no one wants me to die.”

Wen Wan was about to leave, but bumped into Xie Changqing who was blocking her way. Because of the height difference, Wen Wan saw that he needed to raise his head.

Xie Changqing's face was very cold, and he frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"

Wen Wan calmly told Xie Changqing about how the Xie family asked her to return the betrothal gift, only to see Xie Changqing's expression grow worse as he listened.

"It's okay, I'll take care of it," said Xie Changqing.

"..." Wen Wan was stunned. Why did he look like he wanted to uphold justice? After a long while, she nodded, "Okay!"

Xie Changqing turned sideways and first looked at Xie Hu who was sitting upwards, and saw that he was squinting his eyes while smoking a pipe and not looking at him.

Xie's mother Feng Yuying was able to act well, changing her harsh attitude and smiling with a motherly tenderness, "Second brother, your wife misunderstood us."

Wen Wan sneered in her heart and wanted to hear where the misunderstanding was.

Feng Yuying said: "In order for you to get married, your father and I borrowed a lot of foreign debt with interest.

I heard that your wife brought 800 yuan in dowry from her parents' home. Your father and I thought, since we are all family, we discussed letting your wife take out 500 yuan to pay off the foreign debt first.

Our family will work hard to save money and return it to your wife. This is better than paying more interest to others.

Your wife misunderstood and thought we wanted you to pay back the betrothal gift."

Feng Yuying rolled her eyes at Wen Wan like a mother scolding her daughter, "This child started arguing with us before we could explain ourselves clearly."
