Chapter 124 Xu's Family Still Wants to Make Trouble

  Just at this moment, Plum Blossom suddenly opened her mouth again and said: "Grandpa, it doesn't matter how much silver is at home. Yesterday Grandpa had a birthday, Grandma got ten taels of silver, that's what everyone in the family saw. Since that's the case, Grandpa, why not just divide those ten taels of silver? As for the rest, let's just treat them as us grandchildren showing our filial piety to you and Grandma!"

  It's good to say that Plum Blossom is a good talker. At least Guan Da Shan and several elders think that Plum Blossom is very sensible.

  Before Chu Zhenghai could speak, Mei Hua continued: "And then there's the dowry for my younger sister. At this time, neither our family nor Fourth Uncle's family can afford to add much money to it. Grandfather, what do you think? How about we take that ten taels of silver and divide it among the families? Each family should get two taels, but since my family and Fourth Uncle's family only need one tael each, we can put the remaining two taels together as a contribution for my younger sister's wedding."

  "Not bad, this Plum Blossom girl, her brain is quite useful!"

  "Yes, yes! Mei Hua's family is really generous! Five hundred wen as a gift for the wedding, it's not a small amount. I heard that when Zhang Yuanwai from the east village married off his daughter, the most any of her brothers gave was one or two liang of silver as a gift, and the least was only 200 wen. The Chu family's third and fourth sons together gave 500 wen, it's really not a small amount."

  The villagers outside the door were discussing it, and in their opinion, even if they were close brothers who helped each other with money, the most would be two or three hundred coins. Now, suddenly taking out five hundred coins was indeed a lot.

  This remark made Chu Zhenghai feel comfortable in his heart, and no matter what, Mei Hua's words allowed him to regain some of his dignity, so he nodded and agreed to this matter.

  Xu's wife, who had been lying on the kang in the main house, immediately jumped up and ran out into the courtyard as soon as she heard this. She shouted while running: "You heartless black-hearted person, how dare you set your sights on my younger sister-in-law's dowry? You're all just freeloaders who don't contribute a cent, how can you still have the nerve to ask for money from us old folks? If we don't have any silver, take our lives instead! If you must have it, I'll put my life right here, whoever wants it can come and take it!"

  Looking at Xu's arrogant and domineering attitude, Chu Zhenghai's slightly better-looking face suddenly became even more unpleasant. He glared at Xu and then said to Chu Lixian who was present: "What are you still standing there for? Didn't your mother just say she wasn't feeling well? Why don't you hurry up and support her into the house?"

  Chu Lixin did not expect things to suddenly fall on his own head, looking left and right, he found that there was only one son at the scene, so he hurriedly responded with a sound, and went up to support Xu Shi.

  Xu's family would let Chu Lixian support her into the house, and with a flash of her body, that agility was simply comparable to a professional evasion master, and she dodged Chu Lixian's hand in an instant.

  "You're a heartless old man! I knew you and I were at odds, we couldn't get along, that's why we separated. You just can't wait for me to have a hard life! I won't survive! I won't survive!" As she shouted, Mrs. Xu was about to collapse on the ground, once again performing her signature crying fit.

  Osmanthus saw the situation, if it was really allowed to let Xu Shi sit on the ground and cry, today this family might have really separated, hurriedly ran a few steps forward, and forcibly grabbed Xu Shi's arm before she sat on the ground.
