82 Ms. Tian’s Sneer
Third Grandma Yang even brought two more grandmas as witnesses.
Annoyed and unconvinced, Ms. Tian said, “It is not proper for us to have the discussion at someone else’s home, right? She is my sister-in-law.”
Third Grandma Yang ignored her and asked Yang Liang. “Am I the senior family member of the family? Is it proper to have the discussion here at my home or not?”
Yang Liang dare not say anything against that. He mumbled incoherently and said nothing else.
Ms. Fang sneered. “This is a major matter of happiness. If we have senior family members as witnesses here, it is your good fortune!”
Yang Liang and Ms. Tian glared at everyone in fury, yet did not dare to say anything more.
Third Grandma Yang smiled. “I am an experienced person and I should take good care of the junior family members in case they go on a twisted path. We are all a family and are concerned about all members of the family.”
Ms. Tian sneered and cursed inwardly.
Well, since the incident was mentioned, Yang Liang was forced to agree, but he said that the wedding gifts needed to be renegotiated.
“20 liang is way too little! You are a rich family and you can’t be compared with other families! She is my only sister, and I need to see if you are sincere enough. Okay, I don’t need 80 or 100 liang, but we need at least 40 liang!”
Third Grandma Yang gasped.
She had not fully believed that the Yang Family would want 100 or 80 liang as Ms. Fang had put it earlier. She had thought that the latter was just exaggerating!
But hearing what Yang Liang said… she realized that she should have believed Ms. Fang at the beginning.
Ms. Fang sneered. “I am sincere enough, so I offered 20 liang! Were you able to find anyone else who would like to offer 20 liang during this period? We are here today, because we don’t necessarily need your sister. If you don’t accept 20 liang, then we will drop the matter!”
Ms. Tian added. “Then we drop it! We don’t care about your family! Our sister can always be married to anyone. I don’t think that our sister would have a good time with your family, seeing how you are like right now!”
“You…”
Qiao Xuan smiled. “Then you can ask Ms. Yang if she is suffering with you or enjoying living with you? As for our family, we sister-in-laws respect our mother-in-law. What our mother-in-law is like is not to be determined by you. The whole family knows what she is like. You are just making yourself a laughing stock by claiming so!”
Ms. Tian forced a false smile. “Oh well, we are not as good as you. No mother-in-law will have any courage to mistreat you!”
Qiao Xuan said, “It seems that this lady is just being tough. She doesn’t seem to understand what others are talking about. I don’t have anything to argue with you, you can do whatever that pleases you. It is all in your imagination. We have enough people to prove how we are!”
Third Grandma Yang snorted. “Yang Liang, 20 liang is enough, and you have to remember the condition of one month’s time! Just think about this. If you do anything more pestering, we can all gather to teach you a lesson! We are a family with rules. Ms. Tian knows nothing, but you should! Fifteen years ago, a horrible woman irritated her mother-in-law to death, so her sister-in-law killed herself in the river. Even though she had many children, she was still trapped in the ancestral hall for her entire life and she became mental in the end! Hehe!”
Third Grandma Yang glanced at Ms. Tian and said calmly, “If our family can’t even keep a horrible woman at bay, then no good girls would dare to join us. Gradually, our family would have no good offspring in the next generation!”
