Traveling to ancient times? Break off the relationship first! Then divorce! Make a lot of money

Is this still her daughter-in-law who has always been bullied?

Yin Sanniang said with a look of grievance:

"Sister-in-law, how are you talking to my mother-in-law? I didn't expect you to have such a big opinion about our second house. Lai Fu has never been as diligent and down-to-earth as Lai Fu.

My mother did help Lai Fu pay off his gambling debts, but if she hadn't, Lai Fu would have been beaten to death by the debt collectors. We are all family, are you really going to watch him die without helping?

As for the new clothes, jewelry, and dowry money, I did keep them for you, but why should you think too much about it? What's yours is yours. Do you think we would embezzle it?

If it were just a small matter, why would you commit suicide? And you can't even mention dividing the family property; that's extremely unfilial."

Yuan Junyao's smile became brighter, but her words were not polite at all.

"You are taking advantage of me and still acting like a spoiled child. It seems that our eldest wife is the one who got taken advantage of. If you really want to live together, then return my dowry. Otherwise, I can talk to you in person.

It would be shameful for anyone to covet the dowry of their daughter-in-law. Anyway, I have died once, so I am not afraid.

As for the clothes and jewelry, they are not in my hands yet, so don't tell anyone that they are given to me, so that I don't seem to have gotten a great deal. In the future, if someone asks me about them, I will tell the truth.

There are also chores at home and in the fields. If you want to make a living, just assign who should do what. Everyone is born and raised by their parents, and no one is more noble than anyone else.

Just because you are a waste doesn't mean you are right. You are not a disabled person who is missing limbs and needs others to do everything for you.

In short, let me put it this way: people outside have eyes, and the village head will uphold justice in cases of injustice.

If the village head can't handle it, there's also the county magistrate. I've told you I won't let this go. At worst, we can just break up."

Yin Sanniang's face turned pale and blue. She never expected that this person who could never be beaten to silence could be so eloquent now.

She turned her gaze to Zhang Laifu, tears welling in her eyes as she asked, "Brother, do you think so too? Laifu is your biological brother. Aren't brothers supposed to help each other?"

The smile on Yuan Junyao's face gradually disappeared, and she looked at Zhang Lai Fu with a cold expression.

Zhang Laifu scratched his head and hurriedly comforted her, "No, sister-in-law, I didn't."

He then looked at Yuan Junyao and said, "Stop making trouble. Do you really want to make the whole family restless?"

"Am I making trouble?"

Yuan Junyao smiled, but the smile did not reach her eyes.

"I'm making a fuss, so why can't I make a fuss when others are making a fuss? Let me ask you, is it that in your eyes, no one can tolerate being wronged, but you can only wrong me."

Looking at Yuan Junyao's indifferent face, Zhang Lai Fu felt inexplicably panicked.

"No, no, Junyao, that's not what I meant."

Yuan Junyao no longer looked at him, but looked at Song Chunlan.

"Are you going to return my dowry or not?"

Song Chunlan frowned. If she didn't return it in front of the Yuan family, it would be unreasonable.

It would be shameful to tell others that she took her daughter-in-law's dowry, so she subconsciously looked at Qi Meixiang.

Yuan Junyao didn't give her a chance and said directly to Qi Meixiang, "Mother, do you also think I'm being unreasonable? I serve my parents-in-law and take care of the household. What have I done wrong?"

Qi Meixiang remained silent because it was not appropriate to interfere in other people's family affairs, even if it was her daughter's family affairs.

But since her daughter asked her about it, she naturally couldn't just stand by and watch.

"Mother-in-law, I can't say anything else, but how could you take my daughter-in-law's dowry? It's not right to tell anyone about this."

Since her daughter was right, she naturally had to stand on her daughter's side. Otherwise, wouldn't that destroy her own prestige and boost others' ambitions?

Thinking about it, she said, "Also, you always say you want to take back the betrothal money. It's not that easy to take this money. If my daughter has done nothing wrong in your family, not only will you not be able to take this money back, but our family will not let you go either."

Song Chunlan's eyes flickered slightly, and she asked in confusion the next moment, "What dowry silver? Is that one or two taels your dowry silver? I didn't even know it.

Yesterday, when you urged Lai Fu to give you the wages that should have been confiscated, I was so angry that when I got the money back, I saw this little tael next to it. I thought it was what Lai Fu had given you earlier."

Yuan Junyao sneered, "I've only been married here a month. Do you think Zhang Laifu can still give me a tael of silver after confiscating your property for a month?"

Song Chunlan's words were indeed full of loopholes. For farmers, the processing fee for their annual harvest was only about ten taels.

Song Chunlan's face was choked with anger, but she was just looking for a way out, so she just smiled and said, "I was angry at the time and didn't think too much about it."

Zhang Lai Fu's face turned pale, thinking that Yuan Junyao meant that he was useless.

"And please don't slander me. How did I persuade Zhang Laifu to give me my wages? He only gave me two copper coins.

Although there should be no personal income before the family is divided, as the head of the family, shouldn't you fairly distribute the family expenses based on the contributions and needs of the two rooms?

You have paid off the gambling debts of the second wife more than once or twice, but our first wife has never received any share of our contributions.

Tomorrow I'll go to the village and ask if other families are like this."

Yuan Junyao crossed her arms and pointed at Yin Sanniang and said, "Her clothes and the gold ring on her hand must be new, right?

Look at what Zhang Laifu is wearing and what he uses in his room, and then compare it to Zhang Laifu. As the head of the family, are you treating everyone equally?"

Yin Sanniang subconsciously put her right hand behind her back.

Yuan Junyao curled her lips and smiled, "Children have no right to request a separation, but the parents are unfair and partial. If I ask the government to administer justice, I believe they will make reasonable arrangements."

As she spoke, she touched her neck, and the marks from being strangled were very shocking.

In ancient times, children had no right to request a division of the family property, even if their parents were unkind.

This is mainly because ancient family ethics emphasized children's obedience and filial piety, and required children to respect and tolerate any behavior of their parents.

So there is a saying that there are no bad parents in the world.

In some dynasties, children who asked to divide the family property would be punished with a hundred strokes of the cane.

However, if the situation is serious, justice can still be sought through authoritative places such as the government. At this time, it involves one's own ability, because one may have to leave the house with nothing. The financial power is in the hands of the head of the family, and others have no right to distribute it. In addition, the division of the family must also take into account the condemnation of society and public opinion.

Song Chunlan said unhappily, "Are you really going to make a scene like this?"

Zhang Laifu was also panicking. He didn't want to be branded as unfilial, nor did he want to be kicked out of the house. He immediately said:

"Yuan Junyao, stop it. As a daughter-in-law, it's already unfilial of you to constantly blame your mother-in-law. Besides, you only blame others. What about you?"

His face was full of forbearance, his fists were clenched tightly, and it seemed that he had something to say but couldn't say it.
