Chapter 153 Don't blame me, you forced me to do it
"Up to now, he has come to my father in a roundabout way to ask for money." Jiang Youzhen said and looked at Jiang Fugui.
"Dad! Before we separated and had no money, could you interfere in the family affairs? Now that we have separated, he calls you over from time to time just to get you to pay. He beat around the bush a lot, and now his true colors are exposed. Such calculations are really chilling."
Humph! You can stir up trouble, but I can't? Jiang Youzhen still doesn't believe that his cheap father will really pay the money. Shen Shi will be tickled into popcorn by him.
"Don't judge others by your own standards! We are not after your father's money. It's just that your third aunt can't make ends meet anymore, so we want your father to help her." Jiang Haiqing's face turned pale. Jiang Youzhen's direct words were like tearing off their fig leaf.
"Let's go! Dad, there are only more than 20 taels of silver left from mom, and you still have to buy farm tools for spring ploughing, and you also need to buy some new things for the house. If you think you can afford to support Third Aunt and her two children for the rest of their lives, then pay the money!"
Jiang Youzhen was too lazy to say more. He originally planned to watch the show, but once the fire spread to his own house, there was nothing to watch.
Jiang Fugui felt a little hurt. He knew Erlang was right. They called him just for the money.
"Dad and Mom, you heard it too. My family doesn't have any money right now. It's just ten taels. This is the most I can give. If you want it, just tell me." Jiang Fugui was dejected and followed Jiang Youzhen out of the upper room.
Everyone left in the room looked at each other. Jiang Hailin saw that none of them could solve the problem, so he simply looked for a chance to escape.
"I don't know where the second brother got so much money. He kept it secret from his brothers and refused to tell them how he made money. No, I have to go ask him and persuade him to spend money to buy a dowry for my third sister."
As he spoke, he had already reached the door. The words "buy dowry" sounded particularly awkward to everyone. She had been married for more than 20 years, and she was still coming back to ask for dowry.
"Oh! I haven't collected my quilt yet, so I have to go back." Luo saw that her husband had run away, so what was she waiting for? Although she wanted to watch the fun, she was also afraid that the old man and the old lady would ask her to pay.
When Jiang Haiqing saw that everyone had left, he immediately sat on the stool with a gloomy face.
Jiang Yueniang had stopped crying. She looked at Jiang Haiqing and said, "Brother, please think of a way. If I don't go back, the mountain might just take me back home."
Jiang Haiqing frowned, "What can I do? Your second brother won't pay the money, can I still rob him? If it really doesn't work, just go back! If you come out like this, won't you make room for that woman?"
Isn't he anxious? He is anxious too! They can't wait any longer. This is a suggestion for Jiang Yueniang. He can't go back with Jiang Yueniang, so he can only let Lu Dashan do it.
When Jiang Yue Niang heard his bad tone and that he didn't want to care about her, she immediately became unhappy.
"Brother, do you remember what you said to me when I went to find you before I returned to the village? You said you would help me and my second brother get the silver, and we would each get half of it. Now it doesn't count? Do you want me to go and talk to my second brother?"
Jiang Haiqing heard Jiang Yuiniang's threat. Although he was unhappy, he still said, "Why are you in such a hurry? I'll find a way."
The old couple were a little surprised and looked at the two of them with strange eyes.
Jiang Haiqing saw that this matter was not going to work, so he had no choice but to use this method. He made up his mind secretly and looked at the silent old man.
"Dad! This is the only way. Let's do what we said at the end!"
The old man hesitated, "Do you really want to do this?"
"It will be too late if we don't do this. Erlang will soon use up all the money. So let's do this! You help me keep an eye on Erlang and notify me if there is any news."
Jiang Haiqing's eyes flashed with a hint of viciousness and determination. He took a deep breath and said, "Second brother! Don't blame me! You forced me to do this."
The old man was still hesitating, "Boss, I've thought about it, and this still won't work. So, let's use the method we used last time and try it first."
"Dad! It's better to solve this problem once and for all!" Jiang Haiqing said anxiously.
"No way! Once the truth is revealed, you and Lao Er will break up completely. Just do as I say and try it first."
The old man shook his head. It would be fine if this thing really succeeded, but if something went wrong, the second son would be completely alienated from the Jiang family. In the future, no matter how much money the second son had, he would not be able to help the eldest son. In the end, the money would still be taken advantage of by outsiders.
Xiao Chen, Jiang Yue Niang, and even the old lady in the room all looked confused.
"What are you talking about? What's going on? Why can't you tell me?" the old lady asked curiously.
"Okay! It's settled. You can arrange it tomorrow." The old man leaned towards the kang as he spoke. He suddenly felt a little tired.
Closing his eyes, he suddenly felt a little sad. When did he start to scheme against the second brother so hard?
What happened to all this? Why did he feel tired? The eldest and the fourth are worrying! They made him worry so much. The eldest said he was sure of the outcome this time, so let's see what happens this time!
Seeing that the old man refused to communicate anymore, Jiang Haiqing had no choice but to agree even though he was unwilling.
On the way back to the room, Xiao Chen looked at her husband's back and couldn't help feeling a little strange.
"Husband, what on earth are you and Dad talking about? What do you mean by once and for all?"
"Nothing! Dad is just unhappy and wants to expel the second branch of the family from the family tree. We just want to threaten him like this."
"Really?" Xiao Chen looked at her husband with a suspicious look, "Erlang always said that he had something on you brothers. What kind of thing was that? You said today that it is common for your brother-in-law to take a concubine? Do you want to take a concubine too?"
"What? I'm not, I don't." Jiang Haiqing was shocked and shook his head quickly.
"I am now only thinking about passing the imperial examinations and giving you and your daughter a good life. How could I have thought of so much?"
As Jiang Haiqing spoke, he saw that there was no one around, so he took out a silver hairpin from his bosom and inserted it into Xiao Chen's bun.
"I just got my monthly allowance and bought this for you. It looks beautiful!" He said while looking at Xiao Chen tenderly.
Mrs. Chen blushed immediately, "We are already an old couple, why are you still saying such things? I am old and ugly, and I am not good-looking anymore. I have to save my monthly allowance, why did you buy me a hairpin?"
She said as she walked quickly, overjoyed, "I'm going to go back and look in the mirror to see how your purchases look. Don't buy too expensive."
Jiang Youzhen, who was watching all this through the crack in the door, immediately sighed, "Uncle is still good at coaxing people! He is so coaxed by aunt that he is totally lost."
It’s not that she wanted to monitor the two of them, but the place where she was standing was the main room of her own home and the door was not closed!
After the two left one after the other, Jiang Youzhen suddenly found something on the ground. She walked over and took a look, and immediately laughed.
