After the marriage was broken off, the husband's family regretted it

The two chatted in the Lin Mansion for a short while before saying goodbye to Miss Lin.

Later, they went directly to the Hyacinth Jewelry Shop, but did not see Shuqi. They just handed the goods to Miss Xiaocui. The mother and daughter left directly, and after strolling around the city for a few times, they slowly drove the ox cart back home.

After the two returned home, they saw Erniu walking up to Yuntao in a very gossipy manner.

Erniu: "Mom, there was a quarrel in Lao Wang's family today. Everyone in the village knew about it. Moreover, many idle people in the village went to watch them quarrel. It was extremely exciting."

Sanniu: "Why, second brother, you went to see it too."

Erniu: "Little brother, I am that kind of person. I am from a good family. I don't like to watch that kind of thing. It's boring. People come to tell me about it, and I just listen for fun."

Yun Tao: "Then tell me about it and make me happy."

Erniu told Yuntao the whole story from beginning to end in vivid detail, even accompanying it with actions, which made Sanniu watch with great interest.

Sanniu: "Second brother, it's a pity that you don't go to sing opera. It's all mother's fault. She delayed your future and didn't let you learn to sing opera."

Yuntao rolled her eyes at Sanniu.

Liu Xiaomei: "Dad, what do you say we should do? How can we live like this?" Dali insisted on using all the money in the family to redeem my mother, but this is not the point. The point is that this thing may not be done.

"Dad, it's not that my daughter-in-law is unfilial, it's just that the family has so little money. The second and third sons haven't married yet, and the eldest son's wife is very powerful. She wants money to fly out and live alone. In the future, our family will have more or less expenses. Dad, we have taken out all the money. What if you need some money in the future? To put it bluntly, you have a headache or a fever, what should we do?"

"Besides, my mother has already been imprisoned. It was the prefect who sentenced her personally. This matter is not something that ordinary people like us can decide. Dali refused to listen to anything we said and just wanted to spend all the money in the family to save my mother."

Wang Fugui: "Xiaomei, don't worry about this matter. I won't let Dali do it. There are a lot of people in the family who need to spend money. How can I spend so much money for an old woman who is about to die?"

Wang Dali walked in at this time and heard what his father said, and his heart sank.

Wang Dali: "Dad, that's mom, how can you say that, mom who has been with you for most of your life. Without mom, how can this family be complete? We still have some money now, we can be. Even if the money is all gone, it doesn't matter, right? We still have three sons, they are grown up now. They can go to town to work and support themselves and us. There is also a second wife who can work in the fields or carry heavy bags in town."

"Besides, the second wife's family has a little girl, who can be exchanged for money in a few years."

You can earn money from the land here, it's not as serious as Xiaomei said, that there is no money to spend.

The three of them looked at each other, but Liu Xiaomei still disagreed.

Liu Xiaomei: "I think it's unnecessary to redeem my mother at her age, and she has food and drink in there, which is good. Besides, my mother doesn't have to do farm work in there, she is free and easy. When she returns home, she will have to do farm work more or less."

"It's better to be in there. Our family is not well off right now and food is a challenge. We don't have to provide meals in there, so it's good to have one less mouth to feed at home."

The three of them thought this made sense.

Wang Fugui, "Then listen to Xiaomei, there's no need to get her out. If you get out, she'll always quarrel with me. Just stay in there. Dali, you just need to go and see your mother. We'll live a prosperous life at home, and when she gets out, we can continue to enjoy our lives."

Wang Dali wanted to say something else.

Wang Fugui interrupted him directly.

Wang Fugui: "Okay, Dali, I know you are filial, and I also know that you love your mother the most. Your mother loves you the most, too, and your mother's love for you is not in vain. I see it with my own eyes, and I am still very happy. Your mother is not locked up for life, but only for a few years, and she will come out."

"You might as well stay at home and make a lot of money like Yuntao, so that we can live a life like theirs. I, your father, will die with peace of mind in the future, Dali."

Wang Dali said unwillingly, "Okay, I will listen to you and not redeem mother. But mother is suffering in there too. She can't eat well and sleep well. She has never had such a hard life in her life. My request is not high. I will visit mother every month in the future and of course buy her some good things. This time mother has nothing in prison. She must be having a hard time and she blames us in her heart. We did this together. It is indeed my mother who bears the blame. Xiaomei, you have to give me 5 taels of silver so that I can buy her some good things."

Liu Xiaomei: "Da Li, what are you buying? It costs five taels of silver. That's enough for our family's expenses for several months."

Wang Dali: "Xiaomei, this is my mother's first time in prison, and she has nothing. Do you think there will be any good things for the prisoners in the cell? Will my mother eat well? I still need money to bribe her. If you don't agree to redeem me, at least give me some money to bribe her. It will be better if there is more in there."

Wang Fugui and Liu Xiaomei didn't say anything.

Finally, Wang Fugui said, "Xiaomei, give Dali five taels of silver. The old woman really didn't have a good life with me. Now she can't live comfortably in the cell. Besides, the silver from the previous incident is still in our hands."

"To be honest, this matter is indeed the old woman who took the blame. You can go and get it. The family still has five taels of silver, so it won't have much impact."

Liu Xiaomei said reluctantly: "Dad, don't you have money there? Why don't you take it out?"

Wang Fugui: "I've taken it out. You will pay for the weddings of your second and third sons in the future."

Only then did Liu Xiaomei reluctantly take out five taels of silver and give it to Wang Dali.

Wang Dali took the silver and ran away.

Wang Dali went to the town in a happy mood and went straight to the gambling house.

Two hours later, Wang Dali came out in a good mood, watching the five taels of silver in his hand become 100 taels. He went to the largest Manchun Courtyard in the town, which, as its name suggests, had many beautiful scenes.

Before he even entered the gate of Manchunyuan, he saw the madam greeting Wang Dali enthusiastically.

Madam: "Sir, you haven't been here for a long time. Our girl Xiaolan misses you very much."

Wang Dali pinched the old waist of the old procuress and said, "Procuress, I am here, aren't I?"
