Chapter 348: Being beaten and slandered
Su Xiangping is Su Youtian's eldest son, and Su Xiaoxiang is Su Xiangping's youngest daughter. She only got married last year. She is older than Xiao Ruan, but she is a head shorter in terms of seniority.
Su Xiaoruan felt that her past was not very good. Although she had the title of an elder, she was actually still a child, so she did not plan to follow him, so she said she would guard the door at home and make lunch by the way.
Zhao Hongmei supported Grandma Su and went to Su Xiangping's house.
Su Xiangping's family is living a good life, and he is now a grandfather. Xiaoxiang is his youngest daughter, who also got married last year.
When Zhao Hongmei and others arrived, Su Xiaoxiang was still crying in the room. Su Xiangping and his sons were sitting in the main room, while Xiaoxiang Niang was in the room persuading her daughter.
As soon as Grandma Su came over, Su Xiangping stood up immediately.
"Auntie is here, sit down quickly."
Grandma Su was not polite to her and asked quickly: "What's going on?"
"When I came back, I just said that I was bullied. There was a slap mark on my face. I guess I was beaten. I just asked her and she didn't say who hit me."
Grandma Su frowned and said, "I called people out to ask questions, but I can't explain everything clearly. What should I do about this matter? Even if her mother's family wants to seek justice for her, they still have to follow the example."
As soon as he finished speaking, the second grandpa and second grandma over there also came over.
Second Master Su sat down, and several junior members of the family were standing. Because there were too many people, some even stood in the yard.
Su Xiaoxiang was called out.
When Grandma Su saw her eyes crying like walnuts, she became a little impatient. At the same time, she also felt a little distressed. After all, she was the one who saw the older child.
"Tell me, what's going on?"
Su Xiaoxiang sniffed again and then started to speak.
Su Xiaoxiang married the Yao family of the Dongfang Brigade. Su Xiangping and his wife agreed to the marriage. On the one hand, they were close to each other, so if anything happened to their daughter, they could help. On the other hand, it was because of the Yao family.
The boy is a classmate of Su Xiaoxiang's brother, and they can be regarded as people who know everything about them.
When the Yao family proposed marriage, they spoke very beautifully, and Yao Wang really liked Su Xiaoxiang, so the gift was not low.
But here's the problem, the Yao family is calm on the outside, but not harmonious on the inside.
Yao Wang is the second eldest son in the family, with an elder brother above him and a younger brother below him.
When Yao Wang fell in love with Su Xiaoxiang, although the Yao family was satisfied, they felt that there was no need to give such a heavy gift, so they thought of saving as much as possible, but Yao Wang was not happy.
Yao Wang thinks that for the girl he likes, he must give her the best.
But Yao Wang's eldest brother's wedding gift was forty-five yuan, so Yao's father and Yao's mother also wanted to give them forty-five yuan and not be biased.
Yao Wang knew in his heart that this gift money would be unacceptable.
Life in Su Xiaoxiang's family was not difficult, and Su Xiaoxiang was the only girl in the family, so she was always regarded as a treasure.
In the countryside, if the bride price is large, it will appear that the man is sincere.
More importantly, Yao Wang knew that Su Xiaoxiang's mother had been visiting other people's homes for her, and they offered to give her a gift of sixty-six yuan. This made Yao Wang anxious.
Yao Wang couldn't persuade his parents, so he finally decided to let his parents contribute forty-five dollars. He had to find a way to get the remaining twenty-one dollars by himself, even if he went out to borrow it, he had to get the money together.
Yao Wang didn't hide this from his family either.
Yao's father and Yao's mother had no choice but to beat and scold her, but Yao Wang was sure of Su Xiaoxiang.
In the end, Yao Wang went up the mountain to hunt and collect herbs, and then changed them for others.
It is not possible to speculate now, so Yao Wang secretly exchanges money with others, or works for others and exchanges money.
For more than half of last year, Yao Wang never stopped. When it rained, he helped others repair their house and almost fell off the roof.
It was precisely because Yao Wang worked so hard that when Yao Wang took out twenty-one dollars later, Brother Yao and Sister-in-law Yao did not suspect their parents.
Even so, Yao Wang still said that he had a debt of ten yuan and he would find a way to pay it back later.
Brother Yao and Sister Yao were naturally happy with this.
Su Xiaoxiang received a betrothal gift, but in fact, she did not give up all of it. In addition to buying her a decent dowry, Su Xiangping also gave her thirty yuan of money, which was equivalent to a small amount of money back.
In addition to the dowry, wardrobe, and table, the sixty-six yuan gift is really not too much.
But of course Su Xiaoxiang wouldn't tell anyone about the money at the bottom of the box, so only the two of them knew.
Su Xiaoxiang only found out after she got married that Yao Wang had borrowed ten yuan, and then she generously took out her dowry money and asked him to pay off the debt.
Su Xiaoxiang's family is in good condition, and her daily clothes are naturally good.
This got Yao's wife thinking, and she actually instigated her mother-in-law to search Yao Wang and Su Xiaoxiang's house.
Of course, Su Xiaoxiang would not agree, and there would be a conflict after such a back and forth.
The reason why she ran back crying today was because Yao Wang was not at home, and Yao's mother and Yao's sister-in-law teamed up to bully her. Su Xiaoxiang was beaten by Yao's mother because she protected some eggs that her mother had taken a few days ago.
After hearing the whole story, several elders looked at each other, a little surprised.
It was Zhao Hongmei who spoke first: "The Yao family are too ungrateful, aren't they? The things our mother-in-law's family brought over were naturally for Xiaoxiang. If Xiaoxiang is willing to take them out, it's because she is sensible and is unwilling to take them out.
That’s human nature, why do you still have to grab it with your hands?”
These words got into Su Xiaoxiang's heart, and she started crying again.
"What the little grandma said is that I also feel that this is what my mother gave me. I can take it out if I want to, and I can't take it out if I don't want to. But my mother-in-law and sister-in-law said to outsiders that I was unfilial and that I hid it secretly.
I didn’t show respect to the elderly for eating. I feel so aggrieved now.”
Everyone understands, this slap on the face is not the important point.
The point is that the Yao family is still out there ruining Su Xiaoxiang's reputation. Can they tolerate this?
Xiang Ping's daughter-in-law also wiped away her tears and said: "What the hell is this! Fortunately, my Xiaoxiang didn't have much trouble. I heard that Xiaoxiang was not feeling well the past few days, so I took a few eggs to look at it.
Look at her, let her make up for it, who would have thought that she would cause such a thing!"
Several of Xiaoxiang's sisters-in-law also stood by her side, and they all said that Xiaoxiang should stay at her parents' house and not go back no matter who came, and then they would ask the men at home to go to the Dongfang Brigade to find an explanation from the Yao family!
Grandma Su and Second Sister-in-law looked at each other and felt that it was not appropriate to deal with this.
But being a mother-in-law in the Yao family is also interesting. How can a mother-in-law always think about searching the house of her son and daughter-in-law?
