BXBX NOVEL Chapter 198 - Scandal
Chapter 198: Scandal
She was really angry. The money that she had hidden so well had disappeared without a trace when she woke up.
Every morning when she woke up, she would check the silvers and count them. She did the same that morning, but she realized the twenty taels of silver she had saved up were all gone.
Hearing Li Cuihua’s roar, the whole family ran out in a hurry with anxious expressions. After all, the silver didn’t just belong to Li Cuihua, but to their entire family.
Lin Daniu, Lin Erniu, Lin Sanniu, Lin Siniu, as well as their wives and children, all swarmed forward.
“Mother, what did you just say? Was our money stolen?” Lin Daniu hurriedly asked, but there was an unfathomable joy in his eyes.
“Mother, did the money really get stolen?” Lin Siniu’s wife, Liu Juhua, anxiously asked. This wasn’t just Li Cuihua’s money but also their family’s money. Of course, they didn’t want the money to be stolen.
“Mother, are you sure you have checked everywhere?” Liu Juhua didn’t believe the money had been stolen. She privately thought that Li Cuihua had actually spent it on that brat, Lin Dazong.
She and Lin Siniu worked their asses off all year long. In the end, they didn’t even see the silver, but now it was suddenly stolen? She definitely wouldn’t let it go.
However, Liu Juhua was also a very smart person. She didn’t shout or scream. She started to ask her mother-in-law to confirm the theft first.
Li Cuihua’s attitude towards her son was okay, but she was horrible to her daughters-in-law. Other than her eldest daughter-in-law, Li Hehua, who came from Li Cuihua’s maiden family’s village, Li Cuihua would scold and beat up her other three daughters-in-law at the slightest provocation.
Li Cuihua was very angry with her fourth daughter-in-law.
......
Why?
It was mainly because this daughter-in-law liked to talk back to her. She dressed up gorgeously all day as if she wanted to seduce men. Li Cuihua was so angry that she pointed at her nose and scolded her every day. Liu Juhua didn’t take the insults easily. She retorted to Li Cuihua, saying that she was the only woman who would marry Lin Siniu. If push came to shove, she would ask for a divorce. Lin Sinua finally got a wife, so how could he agree to a divorce? After the divorce, he wouldn’t get another wife.
As a result, he often turned a blind eye to the quarrels between Li Cuihua and Liu Juhua. Sometimes, he even defended his wife, causing Li Cuihua to scold him, saying that he had raised an ungrateful wolf, that his conscience had been eaten by a dog, and so on.
When Li Cuihua heard Liu Juhua, she raised her head and roared at her, “Bitch, did you steal the money? Yes, you must have taken it. I saw you wearing new clothes yesterday. Tell me, did you take the money?” Li Cuihua immediately stood up from the ground and pointed at Liu Juhua, questioning angrily.
When Liu Juhua heard this, her face turned green and red in anger.
Of course, Liu Juhua would not admit to the theft. She shouted back at Li Cuihua, “Which one of your eyes saw me take the money? What’s wrong with me wearing a new set of clothes? Can’t I wear new clothes? I’ve been married to your Lin family for two years. When have I ever had a good life? You call me a thief when I wear new clothes. Li Cuihua, do you think I’m so easily bullied? You’re calling me a thief, but you’re the real thief. You’ve taken all of our money and given it all for your precious grandson to use!” Liu Juhua didn’t even call Li Cuihua her mother anymore. When it came to money, no one would give in to the other.
“Impudent!” Lin Laosan smacked his cigarette, his face dark. He shouted at Liu Juhua, “Fourth daughter-in-law, where are your manners? How can you call your mother-in-law by her name? Ol Four, drag your wife away and teach her a good lesson. Let her know that there is an order of seniority between the elders and the young. No matter how dissatisfied she is with your mother, your mother is still her mother-in-law. If she were in another family, your wife would have to kneel in the ancestral hall for three days and three nights and be divorced!”
