Chapter 4 Asking for Jade Pendant and Jade Hairpin
The Qu family leader glanced around and finally sighed, "Since you want to divide it, then divide it! I won't stop you. I'm thinking about you all. Don't let it end up being my fault for not doing anything as the clan leader."
Li Cuilian curled her lips slightly and turned her face away. This old guy in the Qu family was the most hypocritical.
When Old Lady Xu heard this, she pointed at Lady Liu and cursed her rudely, "If you want to divide the family property, don't even think about taking a single cent from me. In the future, don't even think about coming to me for help with anything. You better think it through."
Liu listened to the slightly threatening words of Old Lady Xu, her eyes filled with determination. She pulled her son and daughter and let out a long breath, saying:
"Don't worry, I won't take a single cent from the Qu family, but you have to return my jade pendant and jade hairpin to me. They are my mother's relics."
"You wish!" Old Lady Xu jumped up and down and yelled. When she heard that they were going to take something from her hand, it would be like cutting off her flesh.
"Mom! What's going on?" Qu Shushan walked into the yard wearing a brand new scholar's robe with a piece of transparent and ancient white jade hanging around his waist.
Old Lady Xu looked at her youngest son and her eldest son's family who squeezed into the yard. She seemed to have gained confidence all of a sudden and raised her chin proudly.
She cried to her two sons, pointing at Qu Jingyao and shouting that she had framed their sister, and that Liu, the daughter-in-law, was unfilial and even proposed to separate the family at this time.
"Second sister-in-law, as the ancients said, while parents are still alive, one should not travel far away, and the family should not be divided..."
Qu Shushan was stopped by Qu Jingyao before he could finish his words. She felt a headache when she heard the ancient saying, this man is pretending to be so powerful!
"Uncle, I don't know what happened, so it's better not to say anything. Besides, the clan leader has already agreed to split the family."
Qu Jingyao looked at the family sarcastically. Their looks were really inherited from the Xu family. Her adoptive father was so lucky to marry such a beauty like her mother.
"I don't think there has ever been a dynasty where someone would embezzle not only a daughter-in-law's dowry but also the belongings of her parents. As a self-proclaimed scholar, I'm sure you wouldn't be unaware of this, right?"
Qu Jingyao held Liu's arm, and her eyes that were glaring at everyone suddenly turned cold. She felt Liu's grip on her arm tighten a little. She turned her head and saw that her elder brother and mother were staring at the jade pendant on Qu Shushan's waist.
She immediately understood what was going on and sneered, "Uncle, you keep saying what the ancients said. Did the ancients say anything? What's the point of your uncle wearing the relics of my eldest sister-in-law's parents and flaunting them in public?"
Everyone in the yard looked at this scene with contempt for Qu Shushan, which made him, who always cared about his reputation, lose face.
If this matter gets to the town, he will no longer have a place in the school.
His expression gradually turned ugly, and his originally smug face suddenly turned red. In his ugly expression, he blamed Liu with anger:
"An ignorant woman is an ignorant woman. She brought up her child in such a disrespectful way. No wonder he has failed to become a successful person!"
Qu Jingyao looked at her elder brother's face full of anger, with veins bulging from his clenched fists. She smiled and shook her head slightly, stopping the man. Then, before Liu's mother and son could react, she easily reached out and pulled off the jade pendant from Qu Shushan's waist.
"You bitch..." Qu Shushan didn't expect that she would just grab it away. Old Lady Xu kept cursing at Liu and her son.
Qu Jingyao studied the jade pendant in her hand and snorted sarcastically, "You call yourself a scholar, yet you call your own niece a bitch. It's so easy to say. I really don't know where your education has reached. I wonder if your headmaster would know the character of the student he accepted from the Qu family is like this..."
She swallowed the word "dog". If she called him a dog, wouldn't that mean she would be scolding her stepfather and the whole family as well?
The patriarch looked at Qu Shushan with disappointment: all the children raised by the Xu family, except Qu Shusheng, are stupid, and they cannot be allowed to affect the reputation of the Qu family. Next month, the great-grandson will start school.
"Shushan, have you become stupid from studying so much? You can't even take the jade pendant by mistake. Since you took your sister-in-law's by mistake, just return it. Don't look like a cannibal. Act like an elder."
Qu Shuliang and his wife were also laughing at the side, and persuaded in front of everyone:
"Third brother, you've been busy studying all day, and you look dizzy. Since you took the wrong thing, just return it. I think Second Brother and Sister-in-law won't mind, right?"
Qu Shuliang was wearing a brand new grey cloth robe, which formed a sharp contrast with the patched coarse linen clothes of Qu Jingyao's family. He said to Liu with a smile on his face, but the shrewd calculation in his eyes made Qu Jingyao feel nauseous.
She searched the original owner's memory and found the jade hairpin that Liu mentioned. Isn't that the one worn on Qu Xiuxiu's head?
"Since uncle said that uncle took the wrong one, then the lunchbox must have been taken by mistake. Could it be that the jade hairpin on Sister Xiuxiu's head was also taken by mistake?"
After Qu Jingyao finished speaking, Qu Xiuxiu hid behind her mother Wu Chuncao in panic, looking weak and innocent, and looked at her timidly with a sad look in her eyes.
A hint of displeasure flashed across Wu Chuncao's face, and his slightly narrowed eyes flashed with dissatisfaction:
"Yaoyao, don't say anything careless. You are young, so your aunt doesn't blame you, but this is how you raise your children, sister-in-law. How can you frame her sister? This jade hairpin was clearly a birthday gift from my parents on Xiuxiu's birthday."
There was a chatter of discussion in the yard.
At this time, Old Lady Xu also insisted that her granddaughter's hairpin was a gift from her in-laws.
She didn't notice the resentment flashing in her daughter's eyes when she saw the jade hairpin. She had been asking her mother for it for a long time, but she didn't expect that it would end up in the hands of that little bitch Xiuxiu.
"When did the Wu family become so rich? Could they afford such an expensive gift?"
"Yes! Or give it to a granddaughter, tsk tsk tsk..."
"I think this thing might belong to the Liu family. They're obviously trying to embezzle it."
The clan leader's face was gloomy, and his chest was heaving violently with anger. The village head beside him also had a bad expression on his face, and looked at the Qu family with a cold face.
Liu then pulled her daughter and whispered something in her ear. Qu Jingyao raised the corner of her lips slightly and sneered:
"Aunt, you're not afraid of getting your tongue lashed by boasting. Do you know how much silver that jade hairpin costs? If your Wu family had that much money, they would have paid off her son's gambling debts long ago."
The village head then growled at Wu, asking her to tell the truth, return the things to their owners, and stop embarrassing herself here.
The Qu Shuliang brothers looked at each other. They didn't expect that Qu Jingyao had become bolder and smarter after not seeing her for a few days.
Qu Xiuxiu walked out from behind Wu with a sad face, clutching the embroidered handkerchief in her hands, raised her eyes and said softly to Qu Jingyao: "Sister, this is really my jade hairpin, please don't force my mother anymore."
Qu Jingyao smiled coldly, and a thousand alpaca horses ran through her mind. Another white lotus, so disgusting. This family has all the top-notch people gathered together.
She slowly exchanged a glance with her mother beside her, then glanced around and slowly took a step forward.
"Uncle Lizheng, Grandpa Clan Leader, can you please ask Qu Xiuxiu to bring the jade hairpin over for inspection?"
When Qu Shuliang and his family heard her words, there was a flicker of doubt in their eyes. Could she really find out?
Qu Xiuxiu sneered and whispered to her parents that she was just bluffing. There were many jade hairpins like this out there, so how could she tell the difference?
Besides, wasn't the clan leader just protecting his uncle? He didn't want the Qu family to have a bad reputation.
Qu Shuliang raised the corner of his lips and gave his daughter a thumbs up with his hand under his sleeve. His daughter is really smart.
