The evil mother-in-law does not whitewash, she only abuses her children
Chapter 694 I don't need you to support me
Gu Xiaoxue was speechless.
As soon as Lu Zhaozhao gave her a set of headgear, Old Lady Gu set her sights on her.
Fortunately, she insisted on moving out and living with her eldest brother, otherwise they would have missed her even more.
Gu Xiaoxue said, "No, this is a gift from my cousin's wife. If I give it to someone else, I will be betraying her kindness."
Old Mrs. Gu glanced at Gu Xiaoxue with dissatisfaction.
Wei raised her eyelids and also felt that Mrs. Gu’s request was too outrageous.
"It will be good for you if your aunt marries well. You will eventually get married, and if you are bullied by your husband's family, your aunt, who is a scholar's wife, can support you. Besides, you are not giving your aunt the headgear for nothing. There are also scholars among Mr. Fan's classmates. When your aunt marries into the Fan family, she will help you find a scholar husband."
Gu Xiaoxue was so angry that she laughed.
It’s up to Mrs. Gu to believe this or not.
Gu Xiaoxue said, "If I want to marry a scholar, do I need to rely on Fan Tong's connections? Brother Jingzhe is a juren, and all his classmates at Wanliu Academy are scholars and juren? If I really want to get married, wouldn't Brother Jingzhe's connections be more reliable than Fan Tong's?"
"Even if I don't ask Brother Jingzhe for help, I can ask Sister Pan Di and Master Su for help."
As soon as these words came out, Old Lady Gu's temples began to throb with anger.
Gu Xiaoxue's eloquence is becoming more and more fluent.
"Xiaoxue, just lend me the headgear. It's not like I won't pay you back. Mr. Fan now has money and rice every month. When I marry into the Fan family, will I not be able to pay you back?"
Gu Honglian looked at Gu Xiaoxue aggrievedly.
She is two years older than Gu Xiaoxue and grew up with her.
In the past, all the delicious food, drinks and clothes in the family were given to her, but Gu Xiaoxue not only did not fight for them but also took the initiative to give them to her.
She felt that Gu Xiaoxue was the same this time.
Gu Xiaoxue looked at Gu Honglian coldly and said, "Aunt, you need to bring a large dowry to marry Fan Tong. Do you think you can hold on to his money after you get married? If he has money, would he still count on your dowry?"
"Anyway, don't even think about my stuff."
Gu Honglian's eyes turned red with grievance.
"You work in my sister-in-law's weaving workshop. She favors you and lets you earn so much money every month. Taohua treats you well and gives you many good things in private. What's wrong with you giving me this headdress?"
With this headgear, she can marry Fan Tong smoothly.
As Gu Honglian spoke, tears fell like beads from a broken string.
During this period, she tried her best to curry favor with her sister-in-law and mentioned the issue of dowry several times, but her sister-in-law refused to take the bait.
She tried to please Gu Taohua, but Gu Taohua ignored her.
She even tried to curry favor with Chen Sufen, whom she despised, several times. She cried in front of Chen Sufen about the difficulties of not having a dowry. The honest Chen Sufen actually said that a man who could only marry with a dowry was not a good match, which left her speechless.
Gu Xiaoxue remained indifferent.
The girl's tears stabbed old lady Gu's heart like knives. Old lady Gu got angry at Gu Xiaoxue, "Ever since you started working in the weaving workshop, you've made a lot of money. No matter how hard life was at home, your family never had any intention of taking advantage of you. Go out and ask around. Which girl saves her own money? They all give it to their families. If your family has a way now, they won't ask you for anything. Can't you understand the difficulties at home? You also have a time to go out. Don't forget that the Gu family is your mother's family. Sooner or later, you'll need your mother's family to support you. A girl without the support of her mother's family will be bullied to death by her husband's family and she will have nowhere to complain."
Gu Xiaoxue did not comment.
In short, she would never use her stuff to subsidize anyone in the Gu family.
Compared to the support from her mother's family, her money is much more attractive.
Seeing that Mrs. Gu was angry, Wei said, "Grandma, the work in the weaving workshop is not easy. Xiaoxue's eyes are red from working so hard to earn money. Don't worry about the little money she earned with hard work. You just said that our family is in a difficult situation and can't prepare a dowry for your aunt. Isn't it the same for Xiaoxue? Xiaoxue will get married in the future, and what she earns now and is given by Jingzhe daughter-in-law should be her own dowry."
It would have been better if Wei didn't try to persuade her. The more she tried to persuade, the angrier Mrs. Gu became.
She felt that if Wei hadn't wanted to split up the family, Xiaoxue wouldn't have been able to move out and live with her brother and sister-in-law. Then the money earned by Gu Fengnian, Wei, and Gu Xiaoxue would be enough for the family, and she wouldn't have to worry about Gu Honglian's dowry.
"It's easy for you to talk without any worries. Xiaoxue lives with you. Her money will not belong to your eldest branch, but to the Yao family. You are taking advantage of her and instigating Xiaoxue to become estranged from her family."
Wei was so angry that she almost cried.
This is so heartbreaking.
Not only did Old Lady Gu think so, but even Jia and Wu Na felt that most of the money Gu Xiaoxue earned went to Gu Fengnian's family, and that all of Gu Xiaoxue's money in the future would belong to the Yao family.
Otherwise, who can tolerate a sister-in-law living with her family when both her parents-in-law are present?
Wei said, "Xiaoxue's money belongs to Xiaoxue. My Yao family has no father or mother. Why should we worry about aunt's money?"
Gu Xiaoxue clenched her fists in anger and said to Mrs. Gu and Jia: "You are not angry that I don't give money to the family, so you try to sow discord between me and my eldest sister-in-law. Don't say that my eldest brother and his wife never care about my money. I can spend my money on whoever they want. Anyway, I won't give it to you, so you don't have to worry about it."
Wu Na held her belly and said, "Xiaoxue, you can live with your elder brother and his wife, and you can also live with me and your second brother. When I give birth to a child, we will separate the family, and then you can live with us, so that people won't always suspect that your elder brother and his wife are greedy for your money."
Wu Na didn't believe that Gu Xiaoxue would not give the money to the Yao family.
The baby in her belly is also Xiaoxue's nephew, and Xiaoxue's money cannot be given to only one nephew.
Gu Xiaoxue said to Wu Na, "Second sister-in-law, am I a fool in your eyes? It's true that eldest brother and sister-in-law don't want my money, but it's also true that you and second brother want my money. If I live with you and second brother, he would want to fry my bones until oil comes out."
These words left Wu Na speechless.
Jia couldn't help but defend Gu Ruinian and said, "Xiaoxue, Ruinian is your second brother. When you get married in the future, your second brother will have to help you."
Gu Xiaoxue shook the headgear in her hand and said to Jia: "Mom, you always threaten me with my mother's family not supporting me, but this can't threaten me. If I really want my mother's family to support me, my elder brother and his wife will not just sit there and do nothing, my aunt will not just do nothing, and my cousins Dahan, Dashu and others are more reliable than you. I don't need your support for me."
Seeing that the topic had strayed from her dowry, Gu Honglian choked up and brought the topic back, saying, "Second sister-in-law blames you for always favoring Ruinian and wanting him to study. If Ruinian hadn't spent all the family money, I wouldn't have to worry about my dowry."
Now Xiaoxue is unwilling to give her the headdress, and her marriage with Fan Tong cannot be settled as soon as possible. Gu Honglian also feels resentful towards Jia.
When Gu Honglian mentioned Gu Ruinian's spending, it was like a slap in Jia's face.
Jia was so angry that she said sarcastically, "You are just a bully at home. The eldest wife is living a good life, why don't you dare to question your eldest sister-in-law for not paying you a dowry when she has so much money?"
