Guo Shuang rolled his eyes at Wang Cuilan and walked into the kitchen.

The Tang family was doing well now, and Tang Wenjin had married a city girl from Beijing. The lunch meal was definitely the best in the surrounding villages, so the people in the second house had not eaten breakfast, and were all looking forward to the lunch meal, so she had to go first to get some.

Wang Cuilan was so angry that her tongue was tied and she could only glare at Tang Dalei fiercely.

She finally understood that Tang Zheng was trying to fool her. Tang Zheng would only say such things because she had sold all the land. Otherwise, why didn't she take the initiative to come to him earlier, and let Da Lei pass the message, just to cheat her.

This was due to Wei Boen's ideological work, otherwise she would not understand this truth until now.

She understood this principle, but other people in the family might not. Uncle Tang, Old Lady Tang, and Guo Shuang all scolded her for being stupid and having no brains, which made her very angry.

According to the custom in the countryside, half of the betrothal gifts must be handed over on the day of engagement, so before dinner, in front of everyone's witness, Tang's mother took out 9,500 yuan in betrothal gifts, a gold necklace, gold bracelet, gold earrings, and an extra 1,000 yuan for Xie Zhikun's drinks.

Because the money was quite a lot, Tang Zheng specifically asked his mother to put it in an envelope. Everyone only knew that the envelope was bulging, but no one knew how much money was in it.

The Tang family did not intend to spread the news. If this matter got out, who knows how many people would make sarcastic remarks about it.

Not to mention the more than 9,000 yuan, everyone's eyes turned red when they saw the three golds that Tang's mother gave to Xie Wan.

"How much does it cost?"

"It will probably take at least three thousand to come down!"

"In our country, we only have three turns and one ring. Where can we get the money to buy three pieces of gold? Let me see what gold looks like!"

Guo Shuang was so jealous that her eyes turned red. When she married Tang Dalei, she had never seen gold or silver. How could there be such a big difference in their character?

Tang's mother didn't want anyone else to touch such a valuable item, so she said to Tang Wenjin, "Wenjin, put it on your wife."

Xie Wan accepted a gold bar from Tang Zheng, and then looked at the three golds and got used to it.

"How much is your betrothal gift? Shouldn't you count it in front of everyone and let us all be your witnesses?"

"Look at how thick this envelope is. It must be a lot of money!"

"That's not true. Even if we put all those dimes together, we may not be able to make a hundred dollars!"

"There's no need to count the money. It's enough for our two families to know the difference." Tang's mother said as she handed over 10,000 yuan to Xie Zhikun.

Xie Zhikun did not take it, but looked at Mrs. Xie. Mrs. Xie did not reach out her hand either, but looked at Mr. Yao.

After all, Mr. Yao is the elder. He also has the right to make decisions on family matters.

"dad……"

Guo Shuang and Wang Cuilan squeezed in from the crowd, and while no one was paying attention, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law both reached out for the envelope at the same time.

Tang's mother didn't expect the two people to be so shameless. Wang Cuilan snatched the envelope first, and then took out a thick stack of hundred-dollar bills from the envelope, and everyone could see it clearly.

Wang Cuilan's eyes popped out: "So much money, can it be fake?"

"Oh my god, how much money is this!" Someone else exclaimed, "I have never seen so much money in my life."

"The Tang family is really rich. They actually spent so much money on marrying a daughter-in-law!"

"No way, this cup exchange is only half of the betrothal gift. If you want to marry a girl from the Xie family, the betrothal gift must be two stacks of this much money, right?"

Tang's mother looked grim and wanted to snatch the betrothal money, but Wang Cuilan's eyes were already red, and she moved sideways, leaving Tang's mother empty-handed.

"Sister-in-law, is your daughter-in-law made of gold or silver? Why are you offering so much as a betrothal gift?"

Tang Wenjin's engagement was a bit sudden, and the Tang family is tight-lipped, so no one knows the identity of Xie Wan's parents until now.

"This has nothing to do with you, Wang Cuilan, just give me the money!"

Wang Cuilan took another step back with an unpleasant look on her face. She rolled her eyes and said, "According to the rules in our village, the normal betrothal gift is one thousand yuan. You gave so much. Have you discussed it with my mother-in-law?"

Mother Tang was so angry that she couldn't speak for a long time. Did she still need to discuss her family's affairs with old lady Tang?

Guo Shuang was also envious when she saw the stack of hundred-yuan bills. Even if she got all of Wang Cuilan's family assets, it would only be three to five thousand yuan. However, the betrothal gift that the eldest wife's family gave to Xie Wan was more than 20,000 yuan. It was really infuriating to compare oneself with others.

"Second Aunt, what are you doing!"

Tang Wenjin wanted to snatch the money, but Wang Cuilan had already squeezed out of the crowd with the stack of money.

Wang Cuilan ran and yelled, "Sister-in-law, you didn't even discuss this important matter with mother-in-law. This is simply unfilial. I have to give this money to my grandmother and let her make the decision!"

"Mom, what's wrong?"

There were too many people in the room, so Tang Zheng didn't go in. When he saw Tang's mother and Tang Wenjin rushing out in a hurry, he opened his mouth and asked.

Tang's mother's eyes turned red with anxiety. She pointed at Wang Cuilan who was about to run out of the yard and said, "She stole your third brother's betrothal money!"

Tang Zheng gave Mu Ran a grim look, and Mu Ran quickly chased after him.

When Mu Ran chased out, he watched Wang Cuilan stuff a wad of money into her trouser pocket.

"stop!"

Mu Ran took two steps and surpassed Tang Wenjin, and quickly caught up with Wang Cuilan.

Wang Cuilan was directly pressed to the ground by Mu Ran: "What are you doing? Who are you? Stay away from me!"

Tang Wenjin rushed over and snatched the money from Wang Cuilan.

Wang Cuilan was still confident: "Tang Wenjin, your whole family is unfilial. You didn't even discuss such a big matter with your grandmother. I will tell your grandmother right now and let everyone judge for themselves!"

Tang Wenjin was too lazy to pay attention to Wang Cuilan: "Why is the money less?"

He didn't need to count, he could tell by just feeling the thickness.

"There's money missing. How come it's missing? Wang Cuilan, give me back the money!" Tang's mother was so angry that she was fuming and her voice was high.

Wang Cuilan immediately started yelling, "What nonsense! Sister-in-law, you are slandering me. I think you are crazy about money!"

At this time, someone spoke up: "I saw her put the money in her crotch!"

Wang Cuilan immediately tightened her legs and looked at the man and started to curse: "Fuck you, what nonsense are you talking about, you shameless bastard, if you dare to talk nonsense again, I will peel off your skin!"

The man fell silent immediately after being scolded by Wang Cuilan.

Tang Wenjin looked at Wang Cuilan's pants and indeed saw a bulge somewhere, but he couldn't reach out to take it.

Tang's mother was so angry that she ruffled her hair and pointed at Wang Cuilan's nose and said, "Wang Cuilan, take out the money on your own initiative and forget about this matter. Otherwise, don't regret it!"

Wang Cuilan snorted: "What are you doing? Slander. I didn't take your money. If you dare to touch me, I will blame you!"

Tang Zheng was convinced by Wang Cuilan's behavior. If killing was not illegal, she would have killed Wang Cuilan long ago.

"Mom, let's call the police." Tang Zheng really had no choice but to talk nonsense with Wang Cuilan.

Tang's mother seemed to have calmed down a lot. She rolled up her sleeves and said, "Why report to the police? The police are so busy every day!"

Tang Zheng was a little confused by his mother. What should he do if he doesn't report to the police?

Then, in full view of everyone, Tang's mother slapped Wang Cuilan hard.

"Wang Cuilan, I'll give you a chance. If you take out the money now, we can pretend nothing happened!"

Tang's mother slapped Wang Cuilan with all her strength. Wang Cuilan felt her face burning, her ears buzzing, and stars in her eyes.

She suddenly fell backwards, kicking her legs and crying, "Oh, help me, my sister-in-law hit me... my head hurts now... my whole body hurts... I want to go to the hospital... I want to sue her and make her sit on the fence..."

At this time Guo Shuang also rushed over. She naturally favored Wang Cuilan. After all, she also wanted to have half of the money in Wang Cuilan's pocket.

"Auntie, please don't do anything rash. Do you have any evidence to say that my mother took your money? Didn't Tang Wenjin take all the money back? Don't bully others just because you have money. I won't do that!"
