Chapter 423 The Vain Little Aunt 23
Without even giving the old woman time to speak, Ah Zhi took the gold from her hand and gave it back to Chen Xuyu.
"Even if we saved him, we wouldn't need so much money. It's my sister-in-law who's spending money these days, not my mother. You can't accept the gold."
Xiang Pozi's eyes were fixed on the gold, and she looked pained no matter what Ah Zhi said.
She grabbed Ah Zhi's hand and said earnestly, "That's ten taels of gold. If converted into silver, it would be one hundred taels. I can buy you a lot of things and find you a good marriage."
"Yunyun, mother is doing this for your own good. You have been taking care of him these days. If you hadn't asked Wang Lan to save him, he might have died outside."
"You are not doing this for my own good. I don't need you to do this for my own good. Mom, I will only marry someone I like. If you want me to marry a rich man, you'd better give up on this idea in advance."
"You can't accept this money. If you accept it, I will no longer recognize you as my mother."
After saying this, Azhi turned around and left without hesitation, which made the anxious mother-in-law immediately follow him out of the room.
Inside the house, Chen Xuyu picked up the ten taels of gold in front of him, and thought of what Ah Zhi had just said, and narrowed his eyes with interest.
Even though she knew that Ah Zhi would not allow her to accept the gold, Xiang Pozi still couldn't help but think that the other party had ten taels of gold.
This also marked a 180-degree change in Chen Xuyu's attitude.
I used to always complain about having one more person in the family who was eating free rice.
Now he even took the initiative to ask Azhi to deliver meals to Chen Xuyu.
At night, the old woman asked the old man beside her, "I think the person living in the Youshou room must be someone of great importance. Not only is he handsome, but he can easily drop ten taels of gold. Old man, how much money do you think he has?"
"I don't know. Didn't Yunyun tell you to stop thinking about it? Why don't you listen? If Yunyun knew that you were still thinking about it, she would probably be mad at you again."
Thinking of what her daughter said last time, Xiang Po fell silent for a moment, and it was a long time before she could be heard sighing.
While Chen Xuyu was recovering from his injury, Zhou Yan's marriage was arranged, but Zhou Xing'er kept it secret.
It was not until the matchmaker came to the door that people found out that Zhou Yan was actually going to be a concubine in a family in the town.
By the time Xiang Pozi learned the news, it was already too late. Zhou Xing'er had accepted the betrothal gifts and had already started preparing a dowry for Zhou Yan.
When the mother-in-law came to the door, the whole family was very happy.
"Xiang Youlu, you are such a good-for-nothing, such a disgrace. How could I have given birth to a loser like you? I should have thrown you into the river and drowned you when I gave birth to you."
Xiang Pozi rushed forward and started beating Xiang Youlu, causing him to run around helplessly.
"Mom, please stop hitting me..."
"Don't hit me? I wish I could kill you. It's a shame for me to have a son as useless as you. I shouldn't have let you marry this troublesome man with a burden."
"You've been eating my food for so many years, but you ended up being someone's concubine. How shameless! Do you want your father and I to have our backs broken?"
Originally, Xiang Pozi didn't want to meddle in other people's business. Zhou Yan was not her biological granddaughter, so it was up to Zhou Xing'er to decide who she would marry.
Who would have thought that Zhou Xing'er was so capable and actually found a wealthy family for her daughter.
The Hu family in the town is well-off and owns several shops for business.
Mr. Hu is thirty years old this year. He has married but has no children. As he has been childless for many years, he has thought about taking a concubine.
Zhou Xing'er spent money and used her connections to make Mrs. Hu fall in love with Zhou Yan.
It’s because although Zhou Yan looks good, she is not a top beauty.
Zhou Yan looks submissive, gentle and easy to control, and her plump figure makes her look fertile.
Since this girl, who came from a humble family, was not afraid of causing unrest if she gave birth to a child, Mrs. Hu gave her fifty taels of silver as a betrothal gift.
Fifty taels of silver was really not a small amount, enough for Zhou Xing'er to see the other party's sincerity.
She didn't think there was anything shameful in letting Zhou Yan be a concubine, as long as she could enjoy a good life. Mr. Hu was hoping that Zhou Yan would give birth to a son after she got married.
Xiang Youlu was beaten and ran away in fear.
"Mom, I don't think there's anything wrong with this. The Hu family is rich and won't mistreat Yan Zi. It's better to give birth to a son in the Hu family and live a good life than to let the child live with the farmers in the fields."
"Mrs. Hu is getting old and can't have children anymore. If Yan Zi can give birth to a son, we can all benefit from it."
He has been seriously brainwashed by Zhou Xing'er and is simply beyond help.
"Pooh!"
After all, Mrs. Xiang is old, and she was panting heavily after chasing Xiang Youlu.
She held her waist and pointed at Youlu, cursing, "You are such a fool, you are simply blinded by a vixen. Fine, I can't control the shameless act of being someone's concubine."
"Just ask Qingtai to follow me back and live with me and your father from now on. Don't let some slutty vixens lead you astray."
Before Xiang Po came, she had never thought about her granddaughter. She would not take the blame for such meddling in other people's affairs.
But Ahzhi couldn't help but pull her to Xiang Qingtai.
Now everyone in the village knows that Zhou Yan is going to be someone's concubine, and there are countless people watching her make fun of her behind her back.
If Xiang Qingtai is allowed to follow Zhou Xing'er, her marriage will be in trouble in the future.
In the plot, Xiang Qingtai is more like being sold to someone for money than getting married.
Zhou Xing'er married her to a man whose wife had died and who had two sons.
The other party ran a steamed bun shop and was quite wealthy, so the parents spent money to buy Xiang Qingtai to be the stepmother of their children.
After getting married, her parents-in-law always made things difficult for her, but Xiang Qingtai's life was relatively comfortable. At least her husband respected her very much and her two step-sons were very filial to her.
For Xiang Qingtai, even though this marriage did not bring any emotional value, it still allowed her to live a comfortable life.
Zhou Xing'er protected Zhou Yan and said unwillingly, "What does mother mean? Can I still treat my own daughter badly?"
"who knows?"
Mother Xiang looked at her fiercely and said sarcastically, "Zhou Yan is dressed like a decent person. She has new clothes for every festival. Look at what my granddaughter is wearing?"
"They are all clothes picked up from Zhou Yan. How many patches are there on them? If they are sold, they will be sent to a rich family as a maid. They can have new clothes all year round. Following you is no different from being a maid."
"You are suffering from the cold and being scolded all year round. You want to send Zhou Yan to be a concubine and embarrass yourself. I really can't do anything about it. Xiang Qingtai must not be polluted by your habits."
"You must follow me back today. Bring her rations here in the future, or I will beat you two shameless bastards together."
Xiang Pingkang rushed in cursing and raised his hand to hit Xiang Pozi. Everyone in the room was stunned.
"You are a bad person, you are a dead old woman, you actually hit my mother, I will kill you."
