The evil mother-in-law does not whitewash, she only abuses her children

Chapter 702: Silver Found

"Second sister-in-law, you think the gift from the eldest sister-in-law is too little, how much is your gift?"

Jia didn't expect Gu Honglian to ask her back.

"Second sister-in-law, don't try to tell me that you are not as capable as the eldest sister-in-law and that you don't have money, so you don't give it to me. Fengnian just built a house last year, and life is not easy. Fengnian's wife also gave me some dowry."

Gu Honglian stretched out her hand and asked Jia for it directly.

"Second sister-in-law, please give me something, even a pair of shoes or a pair of chopsticks."

Jia was feeling bitter and wanted to take the blame on Tong Huaqiong, but Gu Honglian turned on her and asked her directly for the dowry.

Originally, Jia didn't want Gu Honglian and Fan Tong's marriage to be successful.

Just based on Gu Honglian's background, how could she have the qualifications to marry a scholar?

Now that Gu Honglian has become the wife of a scholar, her pride must have risen to the sky.

Since Jia herself was unhappy with her life, she didn't want the people around her to have an easy life.

That's why she instigated Gu Honglian to ask Lu Zhaozhao for a dowry, just to disgust the first wife and make her completely draw a line between herself and Gu Honglian.

Gu Honglian really asked, and angered Gu Jingzhe, but the final result was not what Jia had expected.

She just wanted to cause trouble for Gu Honglian and Tong Huaqiong.

"Mom, if my second brother and second sister-in-law hadn't taken my dowry, you and dad wouldn't have been so embarrassed, and I wouldn't have been forced to offend Jingzhe's wife." Gu Honglian looked at Old Lady Gu and said aggrievedly, "I don't care about the past, but I'm getting married now, and my second sister-in-law should at least give me some dowry."

Old Madam Gu looked at Jia and said unexpectedly, "You really should add more."

Jia said, "Where do I have the money?"

All the things in the house are now controlled by Old Mrs. Gu, and she can’t confiscate them even if she wants to.

She still had thirty taels of silver hidden in the bottom of her box, and even Gu Youtian didn't know about it, so it was impossible to ask her to take it out.

Old Madam Gu said coldly, "If you don't have it, you can borrow it or buy it on credit. When you had land and money in the past, you subsidized your mother's family a lot, so go ask your mother's family for it. This time everyone in the first house gave it to Gu Honglian, and they didn't let you do the same as the first house, so you and Youtian just need to give ten taels."

Jia's eyes turned red, and she said, "If I had money, would I not give it to my sister? I don't have a penny. You asked me to ask my parents for it, but my parents' harvest has been poor in recent years, and my brother's two sons have married into the family, which has drained their savings."

Wu Na said, "Grandma, don't listen to your mother. She has thirty taels of silver, but she doesn't want to pay it out."

Jia's heart skipped a beat and she denied it, "What nonsense are you talking about? Where did I get the money? If I had the money, shouldn't I have paid it out when Rui Nian got married?"

Wu Na smiled and said, "The last time my uncle came home, I heard you tell him that you still had thirty taels of silver."

It turned out that Wu Na had searched Jia's room twice when Jia was not at home, but she found nothing.

This mother-in-law has a vicious mind. Since she has the money but doesn't use it to help her recover, she will make the matter public.

If she doesn't have an easy life, no one else will have an easy life.

Old Mrs. Gu stared at Jia coldly.

She believed Wu Na's words.

Otherwise, whoever is lying can come up with an exact number.

"Second son's wife, I'm asking you for the last time, where is your money?" Old Mrs. Gu's eyes were cold.

Jia gritted her teeth and shook her head.

Her entire fortune amounted to thirty taels.

If he really admitted it, not only would he have to give Gu Honglian ten taels, but he would not be able to keep thirty taels.

When she thought of this, Gu Youtian was already looking at her with an inquiring look.

Jia regretted it so much that her intestines turned green.

She shouldn't have said such mean things to Gu Honglian.

"I really don't have any money."

Old Mrs. Gu was too lazy to listen to Jia's nonsense. She put the needle and thread in the basket and tiptoed towards Jia's room.

Since she didn't admit it, she went to find it herself.

"Mom, I don't have any money, I really don't."

Jia followed.

Soon, Wu Na, Gu Ruinian, Gu Honglian, and Gu Youtian followed.

When they arrived at Jia's room, Mrs. Gu searched everywhere.

Jia's heart was pounding.

Old Mrs. Gu asked Wu Na to help her search. They searched from the cupboard to under the bed, leaving no corner unsearched, but they didn't find it.

Jia was slightly relieved and said, "I just said I didn't have any money, mother, and you just listened to the gossips of Ruinian's family."

Old Mrs. Gu had no expression on her face.

No, something's wrong.

Old Mrs. Gu glanced at an open wooden box under the table, which contained books.

It is Ruinian’s book.

Ever since Gu Ruinian's leg became lame, he gave up studying and wanted to set fire to all his books. Jia snatched the books away, crying and saying that those books were a symbol of her hard work for Ruinian.

Put it in a wooden box and place it under the table.

No one at home reads, so no one usually flips through books.

Even Old Mrs. Gu ignored the pile of books.

Seeing Old Lady Gu staring at the book, Jia became extremely nervous.

Old Mrs. Gu sneered and walked towards the table. She dumped the book on the ground with a clatter, and the snow-white silver rolled out.

Old Mrs. Gu was very proud of herself, thinking that the second son's wife was still a little too young to compete with her.

Jia's face instantly lost all color.

Wu Na looked at Yin Zi excitedly and said, "I told you I couldn't have heard it wrong. Mom is really good at hiding things."

Gu Youtian slapped Jia in the face and yelled, "What's going on at home? You still have the time to hide your secrets."

Even Gu Ruinian was secretly complaining about Jia not giving him subsidies.

Jia covered her face, her eyes bloodshot, and rushed forward madly to snatch it.

Almost knocked down Mrs. Gu.

"Youtian, you are dead." Old Mrs. Gu shouted at Gu Youtian.

Gu Youtian held Jia down.

Jia cried bitterly, and her silver was taken away.

The silver can't be kept today.

Old Mrs. Gu gathered the silver in her arms and went to the upper room.

After counting, there were exactly thirty taels of silver.

"These ten taels are for Honglian's decoration."

Old Mrs. Gu took out ten taels and handed them to Gu Honglian.

Gu Honglian happily accepted it.

Now her dowry amounted to one hundred taels of silver.

Wu Na said, "Grandma, it's all my credit that we found this silver. Give me ten taels."

Old Madam Gu glared at him and scolded him, "Where did you get your credit? Since you married into the Gu family, you haven't cooked, washed clothes, or done farm work. All you do is eat. Look at any other daughter-in-law who is as lazy as you. You still have the nerve to ask for money? If you have the guts, go ask your parents for it."

Wu Na snorted and muttered, "If I had known about this money, I wouldn't have told my family."

Jia glared at Wu Na with hatred.

Eat things from the inside out.

Gu Youtian said, "Give me these twenty taels. I'll take them to Pingchuan County to see if there's any small business to do."

Old Lady Gu stared with two eyes and said, "What business can you do with twenty taels? It will be a waste. I won't give this money to anyone. I'll keep it for emergency."

She figured it out and decided that instead of letting Gu Youtian waste it, it would be better for her to keep it in her hands.

Jia looked at Old Madam Gu with hatred, this was her money.

Mrs. Gu said, "Who are you pretending to be an enemy to? You eat and drink at home, and your family is in such a difficult situation, but you hide the silver. Don't think that this silver is yours, this silver belongs to my Gu family."

Jia hated Wu Na and Gu Honglian to death.
