The arrogant little husband is desperately flirting with the hunter

? When it comes to how the man dies, the village customs have always been different from the law as to how the family property should be distributed. However, the woman's dowry has always been the woman's own thing, regardless of the law or convention.

Even if a woman died, only her children could receive her dowry, and even her husband could not use it at will.

However, this is usually only possible for wealthy families. In the village, marrying a wife is just a few taels of silver as a gift, and the dowry the girl brings is just a few quilts. A loving daughter may at most give her some furniture such as a wardrobe.

So no one in the Zhang family really thought about the dowry. Even when they heard that Liang Xiaoyan wanted to take back the dowry, they didn't care.

Zhang Zhenglai had married off his daughter before, so he didn't take it seriously at all: "It's just a dowry. If you want to return it, just do it. It's not easy for a woman like you. If you want to divorce, our clan can let you go home. After all, you are still young. If you want to marry again in the future, divorce is always better than losing your husband."

Other members of the Zhang family: “…” They couldn’t make the decision on this matter. After all, Zhang Yiju was still alive. If he refused to divorce his wife, no one could do anything about it.

"Thank you for your understanding, uncle. It's just that my family has taught me since I was a child that if you marry a chicken, you follow the chicken; if you marry a dog, you follow the dog. There is no reason to abandon my injured husband and go home alone. Although Liang Xiaoyan doesn't have much ability, she always does things from beginning to end. As long as my husband is alive, I will serve him wholeheartedly."

These words really make the older people feel gratified, and the young men are very envious. After all, it is said that husband and wife are birds of the same forest. To be able to marry such a wife who will never leave you is truly a blessing for a man in three lifetimes.

But the next second Liang Xiaoyan changed the subject: "But since my uncle mentioned the family property, I have to state my thoughts again. I, Liang Xiaoyan, have never coveted these things. Otherwise, my husband's family has been unable to make ends meet for the past six months, and my husband has been ill and needs to be nursed back to health. All the money used was paid from my dowry."

"It's only right to spend money on my family, but since you think I'm an outsider, then we should really make the calculations clear. What belongs to your Zhang family belongs to you, but what belongs to me, Liang Xiaoyan, can't be lost at all."

Liang Xiaoyan had long thought about the division of the family property, so she deliberately brought up the matter of selling the land after she had made proper preparations. Her purpose was to shut these people up while Zhang Yiju was still alive.

Otherwise, if she really wanted to send Zhang Yiju to meet Chu Wanwan's old lover, it would only be a matter of moving her fingers.

A dowry list was taken out and everyone was shocked when they read it from the beginning.

"A pair of jade pendants inlaid with gold?"

Liang Xiaoyan nodded: "The mandarin duck pattern was bought from Tongxin Jewelry Shop in our county. I took it to the pawnshop to buy medicine for my husband. It was pawned for twelve taels. It was a living contract. Now I should be able to redeem it for eighteen taels."

"The old mountain ginseng is the one you put in your husband's mouth?"

"Yes, a hundred-year-old ginseng. Although my parents only gave me a piece of the root, if the clinic bought such a large piece, it would cost at least twenty taels. However, this cannot be calculated that way. After all, it is a life-saving thing, so it does not need to be included in the dowry."

Liang Xiaoyan behaved very magnanimously, and this kind of behavior will inevitably make people look up to her.

Although everyone here except the village chief is a member of the Zhang family, even though they all have the surname Zhang, they may not be of one mind.

For example, Zhang Yiming, who was standing in the corner, looking lazy as if he was there to watch a show.

With these people around, what happened here today will always spread. Liang Xiaoyan has no intention of returning to Shangtu Village to take care of the child. After all, the child is more suitable to be in a normal environment.

After all, given the atmosphere in Shangtu Village, I’m really afraid that I’ll have to learn those sword-wielding and gun-wielding skills. Do you want to study seriously?

Just look at the teacher in the village who is always puffing his beard and glaring, and you will know that there are no children studying seriously there.

Liang Xiaoyan touched her belly, with a rare tenderness on her face, "My dear uncles, my mother-in-law and husband have counted all the things on my dowry list, and my husband has also confirmed and stamped it, so whether it is a divorce or a death, these things must be returned in full by my husband's family."

As she spoke, she could not help but sigh and looked at the others with a puzzled look: "I married into Anning Village thinking of living a good life, so I never argued with my husband and mother-in-law about how to spend my dowry. But who would have thought that there would be a sudden change, and my family is in such a state now. Since your clan is afraid that I will covet the family wealth, why not settle it now."

"I, Liang Xiaoyan, am not a person who covets money, but I am pregnant with my husband's child. In order to raise him, I ask all uncles and aunts to forgive me for having to settle the dowry. This is also a helpless move."

The Zhang family was speechless again. What a nice thing to say. Liang Xiaoyan was generous and didn't want to care about it. But the Zhang family was narrow-minded and worried that others would covet her husband's family's property.

Zhang Zhenglai, in particular, felt extremely embarrassed, and his face was full of disbelief as he stared at the dowry list.

"What about jade pendants, silver bracelets, gold hairpins, and one hundred and twenty taels of silver in the bottom of the box? Do you think you are a girl from a wealthy family, and how could you have such a large dowry?"

Liang Xiaoyan just smiled and said nothing. Her dowry list was not fake. After all, her mother was a bandit leader and she had a lot of good things.

Her mother was afraid that she would not be able to get married, so she prepared a lot of dowry for her early on. However, she did not bring anything with her when she got married. After all, it was uncertain whether she could live a good life, so she would not use her generous dowry to marry someone else.

But she still remembered some of the dowry list, but just writing down a few items at random made the Zhang family members unbelievable.

She sneered in her heart, but her face was indeed friendly: "What your cousin said is not true. Our family is indeed not a wealthy family, but it just so happens that my mother used to be a big businessman. Although she has returned to her hometown to farm, her family wealth is indeed more than that of ordinary farmers."

The Zhang family really had no idea where Liang Xiaoyan came from, and they could only half believe and half doubt what she said.

"Then your dowry won't be gone in half a year, right?"

This calculation shows that the amount is at least two or three hundred taels. How could someone spend it all in half a year? Anyway, Zhang Zhenglai didn't believe it at all.

Liang Xiaoyan shook her head slightly, "Uncle, you are wrong. Although my husband is weak, his medical treatment and medicine cost only a little over a hundred taels. But my husband's family owes the village a lot of money. I have repaid more than ten taels in the past six months. In addition, my husband's writing brushes, inkstones, and some storybooks cost at least more than twenty taels of silver. There is not enough money at home. I have pawned the silver bracelets and jade pendants. I only have one gold hairpin left. It was my mother's dowry. I really don't want to sell it, so I can keep it."

Everyone looked over as Liang Xiaoyan touched her head, and only then did they notice that there was indeed a gold hairpin pinned next to her hairband.

Zhang Yiming couldn't help laughing behind the crowd: "Oh my god, this is really making me laugh to death. You're actually still worried that others will covet your Zhang family's property. But now I'm afraid that even if Zhang Yiju sells all his land, it won't be enough to make up for the dowry."

Zhang family: "..."

Damn, what kind of bullshit is that Zhang Yiming saying? Is it something to be proud of to slap your own family in the face?
