Chapter 154: Is There a Reward?
"You should ask her about that. When we got married, the Qin Family gave a dowry of 300 yuan, which then disappeared. There are so few people in the family; if she didn’t take it, who did? I asked her for money because I wanted to get our family’s money back."
"Our family’s money?" Qin Yang sneered, "Wasn’t that Xiaxia’s dowry? I just heard that if Xiaxia didn’t bring the money, the Lin Family wouldn’t recognize her as their daughter..."
"I... I was just speaking casually, we are all family, even if the bones are broken, the tendons are still connected," she couldn’t really disown her daughter.
With such a large Bun Shop like the Qin Family has, and being so prosperous, cutting off relations would just be to their advantage, wouldn’t it?
"Just speaking casually?" Qin Yang said with a stern face, "I advise my mother-in-law to think carefully before speaking, and not to use filial piety to pressure others. I’m not buying that. If you want someone to be filial, first look at what you yourself have done. Accusing my wife of stealing money— if she gives you the money, wouldn’t it confirm that she indeed took it?"
"I..."
"Mother-in-Law, don’t say anything else. If you’re just here to see Xiaxia, we welcome you. She’ll be well taken care of with good food and drink at the Bun Shop. But if it’s for anything else, please leave."
Seeing Qin Yang’s firm stance, Mother Lin turned to look at Lin Chuxia, "You ungrateful girl, your wings are hardened? I am your mother, look at how he’s treating me."
"Qin Yang’s attitude is my attitude," Lin Chuxia said, she might have said something even harsher if Qin Yang hadn’t been there.
"Fine... Fine, don’t you regret it... Without your family’s support, if one day you’re bullied to death by your in-laws, don’t come crying back to your family."
