Chapter 549 - 547 Severe
Old Lady Sun jumped up and slapped her the moment she heard the words, "Say that to your mother again? What did your mother tell you? If you can’t borrow the silver, don’t bother coming back! Other women get sent back to their parents’ homes by their in-laws, but look at you, even your own family doesn’t want you! Our Sun Family is truly cursed to have married such a woman—"
"Mother, I borrowed the silver!" Wang Yongzhen said, covering her face.
"You borrowed silver and— You actually borrowed it? Where is it? What, your mother has to beat you before you’ll hand it over? Give it here now!" Old Lady Sun’s palm swiveled in the air and turned to grab at Wang Yongzhen’s clothes.
Wang Yongzhen hurriedly pulled out the pouch, which Old Lady Sun snatched away immediately.
Old Lady Sun opened up the pouch, saw the two silver ingots, and huffed in dissatisfaction, "Only ten taels of silver?"
Wang Yongzhen, holding back tears, said, "Mother, this is the last thing I begged my sister for. I’ve promised her I’ll never return to the Wang Family even if it kills me! This silver was for Mutou’s marriage fund. Mother, let’s find a wife for Mutou before the New Year, so they can marry after the spring..."
Old Lady Sun spat in her face, "If it’s the last time you’re asking for money, and it’s for Mutou’s marriage, why didn’t you ask for more? What’s ten taels of silver good for?"
"Mother, ten taels of silver is enough to find a wife for Mutou. We don’t need someone pretty; ugly would do..." Wang Yongzhen stammered.
"Enough, I know what to do!" Old Lady Sun said, her mood improving slightly as she clutched the silver.
Sun Daming and Sun Laoer were still asleep. After everyone had eaten, they all returned to their rooms.
Sun Laoer’s Wife saw that no one was around, slipped into Old Lady Sun’s room and saw Shitou’s Wife there. They exchanged glances and rolled their eyes at each other.
