Chapter 104: Private Money Storm 5

  Zhu Liwen's voice was not loud, but it was enough for everyone in the house to hear clearly.

  This made Mo's face change color with anger, he opened his mouth wanting to say something, but was pulled by the nearby Gui Hua.

  Mo knew that at this moment, she absolutely couldn't have a hard confrontation with her own little sister-in-law, otherwise the one who would end up losing would definitely be herself. After being pulled back by Guihua, Mo clenched her teeth and forcibly suppressed her dissatisfaction.

  For his own woman and daughter, Chu Zhenghai naturally understood a bit, but at this moment, he also knew that listening to the story couldn't just be one-sided. After all, the person who came to someone else's house to rummage through things was his own woman, so even if he wanted to protect her, he had to figure out what happened first.

  And seeing that Lao San's wife didn't quarrel with his younger sister, Chu Zhenghai still felt a little relieved in his heart.

  "Old three's wife, is there anything else you want to say?" Chu Zhenghai picked up the dry smoker from the kang and slowly filled the pipe with tobacco.

  Mo shook his head, indicating that he had nothing more to say. Chu Zhenghai then turned to Xu and said, "Alright, Old Third's wife has finished speaking, now it's your turn!"

  Mrs. Xü still had some reservations about Old Master Chǔ, but since she had gotten his permission to speak, she let out a loud wail and cried: "It's all because of that wicked woman from the third branch of the family! She hid her own private stash of money, and then turned around and used ours, sucking us dry until we're nothing but skin and bones!"

  As for the matter of his own daughter-in-law hiding private money, Chu Zhenghai knew more or less about it. After all, there was always someone who would occasionally whisper in your ear that so-and-so might have silver in their hands, and so-and-so had changed into new clothes, and over time, even if Chu Zhenghai wanted to pretend he didn't know, it became impossible.

  However, according to the rules of the old Chu family, silver and money were all managed by Xu Shi. Over time, Chu Zhenghai no longer asked about money matters and naturally did not manage the private housekeeping money of his sons' families.

  But today, things have gotten a bit out of hand. Chu Zheng Hai, even if he didn't want to intervene in these matters, due to the issue of saving face externally, he had no choice but to take charge of the messy affairs between his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

  "Crying, crying, all you know is crying! Can crying solve the problem? What have you been doing just now? Did you really go to Lao San's house?" Chu Zhenghai's tone was not very good, and when he looked at Xu Shi, it wasn't with a straight gaze, but rather with a slanted glance, which made Xu Shi's heart thud.

  "I, I..." Xu was made nervous by Chu Zheng Hai's gaze and suddenly didn't know whether to admit it or not.

  "What's wrong with you, asking me questions like that, have you gone mad?" Chu Zhenghai's face turned stern, clearly even more displeased.

  Xu was yelled at by Chu Zhenghai, and her temper flared up. Normally, she was the one in charge at the Chu's house, the one who got to say what went and what didn't, even her own husband had to listen to her obediently every day. Who would have thought that after such a short time, he would dare to yell at her?

  All of a sudden, Xu Shi's reaction was like that of a warrior who had been injected with chicken blood. She abruptly raised her head and puffed out her chest, shouting loudly: "I've turned against you! What can you do to me? Which of these sons isn't born from my belly? Not just this arm or leg, even if there were a few hairs on their body, I know them clearly. Why can't I turn things over and search?"
