Chapter 145 Return of the dowry

Mrs. Zhang shouted, "What dowry is the dowry? The Lu family is so poor, where does the dowry come from? Our Zhang family gave us a gift of five taels of silver. They have to pay it back."

Shu Yu didn't know much about the original marriage between the two parties, so he could only look at the old lady.

The latter had already rushed out, pointing at Granny Zhang's nose and scolding, "What are you talking about, you shameless person? Our Lu family is poor, but when Da Ya got married, we gave as much as we could. Don't say goodbye."

Yes, two years ago, our second son’s leg was not injured, so he scraped together two taels of silver to press the bottom of the box. There were also bedding and clothes. Our second son made the cabinet and dresser box himself. The wood was from the second son.

I chopped it down by myself, it’s new and good, but why does it come to you without a dowry?”

The old lady took out a piece of paper from her arms and said, "This is the dowry list. I have to read it carefully. We didn't ask for the five taels of silver you gave me as a dowry gift. We gave it to Da Ya."

You came back just so that Da Ya could have money from your Zhang family. Now, have you greedily stolen all these money and things?"

Shu Yu stepped forward and took a look. The handwriting on the dowry list looked familiar.

He couldn't help but glance at Tang Xiucai. This seemed to be... written by him too.

No wonder he was the first to suggest that the dowry and gifts should go to everyone. He must be very clear about this matter.

The Zhang family was speechless. Mrs. Zhang's face turned red, but she still said harshly, "I won't talk about the boxes and cabinets. The money is all in her own hands. Who knows how much it is."

The old lady sneered, "Da Ya, tell me, where did your dowry money go?"

Da Ya pursed her lips and said, "Not long after we got married, my mother-in-law said that the family was in trouble, so she built a few more rooms at Zhang Shucheng's house for Zhang Shucheng's wedding. She also owed some money, so she asked me to pay off the debt with two taels."

Later, I searched little by little under various excuses.

Either he was sick, or he wanted to give gifts to someone for happy events, or give red envelopes to his nieces and nephews during the New Year and festivals. All the wages Zhang Shu earned from working part-time were given to Granny Zhang, and he never gave her a penny.

Therefore, those who were sick or in pain during festivals and festivals spent all her dowry money.

Over the past two years, one or two more were given out one after another.

The remaining four taels of silver... I don't know why, but when I woke up one morning, I suddenly disappeared.

She said her home had been robbed, but her mother-in-law said she must have been forgetful and didn't know where to put it.

When she talked too much, her mother-in-law scolded her and attacked her because she couldn't have children.

After a few times, Da Ya also understood that there was indeed a thief in her house, but it was a domestic thief.

But she had no evidence, so it was impossible for her to rashly say that her parents-in-law had taken her money. If the news spread, not only would she lose her money, but her situation would also be even more difficult.

Later she learned how to hide things, otherwise the piece of cloth given to Shu Yu would have been stolen long ago.

Just because they found out that they had missed such a good piece of fabric, they became more and more angry and tortured her even more.

After hearing what Daya said, everyone looked at Mrs. Zhang with contempt.

If your daughter-in-law can't give birth, you can just tease her. This kind of thing is not uncommon. But you actually steal your daughter-in-law's dowry, which is disgusting.

Village Chief Yan felt even more shameless. He pointed at Granny Zhang and said, "You still haven't returned the dowry to me?"
