Chapter 304: Ms. Zhang’s Estrangement
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“We are both daughters-in-law, and we are suffering from misery. Also, our inlaws prefer someone else. Just think about this, when you got married, you received only 6 liang as a wedding gift, and Yang Xiaoni was paid 20! That is so unfair!”
“You are the eldest daughter-in-law of the family, how can you be treated like this…”
Ms. Xu was startled and her face changed.
Although she had been focusing on her own family, she was never on the top. She never thought about this, but for Ms. Zhang’s mention of the matter.
Seeing her expression, Ms. Zhang felt quite proud and said some more things before she left.
But soon Ms. Xu brought herself back.
She was not quite happy about where she was now, but that was nothing.
Yang Xiaoni was not in the same position as she had been at her natal house. Her mother-in-law was forced to spend so much money on the wedding gift, not because she volunteered to do so.
Most importantly, she had enough of her own savings now!
She had counted it recently. Much to her delight, she had saved more than 100 liang, which belonged to herself alone. Also, she was going to get some more soon. In hindsight, the wedding gifts worth 20 liang were nothing.
Also, Yang Xiaoni was a nice person. She seemed quite honest and innocent.
She liked her!
Ms. Zhang told her this matter deliberately because she must be planning something bad…
On the other side, Ms. Zhang was still feeling quite annoyed about the Yan Family receiving 20 liang as the wedding gift, even though she had managed to provoke Ms. Xu.
The more she thought about this, the more distressed she became. She even spent the whole night crying.
She wished that the wedding could be canceled.
But Ms. Niu already found a matchmaker who could help with the wedding!
In the end, the amount for the wedding gifts was still high.
Ms. Zhang was really annoyed.
They took the money from the shared savings!
Ms. Niu was not happy about the money, but she was satisfied about the marriage with the Yan Family, and the Yan Family said that the dowry would be eight liang, so she agreed.
But Ms. Niu kept plaining about the first section of the family.
Thev had caused all of this.
The first section of the family spent 20 liang on the wedding gift for Young Xiaoni, and that became known to the Yan Family, who kept saying that they needed 20 liang as well, since their daughter was not worse than Yang Xiaoni.
Ms. Niu kept negotiating and the Yan Family cut the wedding gift to 15 liang finally.
Ms. Niu had no choice but to nod in agreement.
Seeing that the whole thing was settled, Ms. Zhang got so annoyed that she wished that Ms. Xu would make some fuss.
But nothing happened. She kept saying that Ms. Xu was useless.
Shao Silang’s marriage was finally settled. The wedding was expected to be held at the New Year.
Ms. Niu felt very relieved. She went to the first section of the family and showed off.
She told Ms. Fang implicitly that they could still get Silang a good suitor without their help. Same went for Meiling.
Ms. Fang responded to her calmly. “That is good, you have abundant money and the Yan Family have a lot of wealth too, good marriage!”
Ms. Niu snorted. “Of course, it is good!”
Ms. Fang was not as narrow-minded as they were. She would not want the other sections of the family to live miserably, as long as they did not e to her for trouble.
Soon, Yuezheng Xiao’s men came to fetch the watermelons.
Due to the constant rain, the watermelons went bad and the taste was not as good as before. Qiao Xuan reduced the price and charged only 40 liang for both wagons..
