Chapter 48: Return of the Bracelet

“How can this be…” Chen Qiulian was instantly unwilling. Zhao Bing also had an unhappy expression. There were originally five thousand yuan worth of allowance for the new year, but now, there was nothing.

“Shut up.” Old Master Xu shouted. Chen Qiulian didn’t dare to speak and could only shut her mouth, but she glared at Xu Qing.

The corners of Xu Qing’s mouth curled up slightly. She looked at the piece of paper in Old Master Xu’s hand and mocked, “Since Grandpa has already decided, this has to be written on an official document.” The Xu family was really heartless. They even brought the official document of the family. They didn’t give their family a way out at all. On the other hand, it saved her the trouble. However, she really suspected if Xu Jiangxi was their son.

“Is there a need to write such a thing in the document?” Chen Qiulian had other plans. She was prepared to agree first, but she would still ask them to pay during the New Year. Naturally, it was impossible for them to only give five thousand yuan. If they didn’t, they would be unfilial. The villagers wouldn’t help them. Anyway, no one knew what they had agreed to.

“Of course we have to write it. If we get rich in the future and you guys cling to us, I’ll have a headache.” Xu Qing mocked.

“With that poor appearance of yours, you think you can get rich?” Chen Qiulian and Zhao Bing looked down on Xu Qing and her family very much. Xu Jiangxi was a coward, and now that he was crippled, Qu Feng was even more of a pushover. She was easily bullied, and the few of them were illiterate. Xu Qing got pregnant before marriage, so it was no wonder they looked down on her.

Old Master Xu glared at the two women and looked down at the document in his hand. This was written by Fifth Brother. Even if he wanted to change it, he couldn’t. He didn’t know how to write.

Xu Qing sneered. She seemed to have seen through something and borrowed a pen and paper from Uncle Gong to let Xu Zhi write on her behalf. Fortunately, Xu Zhi had learned a lot of words from Xu Qing and could still write according to Xu Qing’s instructions. It was just that the handwriting didn’t look good.

This surprised Old Master Xu. He didn’t expect Xu Zhi to know how to write! However, although he was shocked, how could she go to school if they couldn’t even survive in the future? Now, it was more important to get rid of this family of trash.

Xu Qing suddenly saw the jade bracelet on Chen Qiulian’s wrist from the corner of her eye. Her eyes flashed slightly, and she said while Xu Zhi was writing, “Since we’ve already split up, shouldn’t you return my mother’s family heirloom?”

“You b*tch, you actually dared to have designs on my baby!” Chen Qiulian widened her eyes and hugged her wrist tightly, for fear that someone would come up and snatch her things.

Jade bracelets were indeed very precious to farmers like them, especially Qu Feng’s heirloom jade bracelet. Chen Qiulian definitely wouldn’t take it out. She still had to keep it as her daughter’s dowry.

“Don’t you understand the situation? You should be happy that I didn’t ask for all my mother’s dowry. You actually dared to take my mother’s bracelet? If people find out that you, Chen Qiulian, are a mother-in-law who collects her daughter-in-law’s dowry, I wonder if anyone will be willing to marry Fifth Uncle in the future!” Xu Qing had a good grasp of this family’s weakness.

As expected, as soon as Xu Qing said that, Old Master Xu looked at Xu Qing with a dark gaze and shouted at Chen Qiulian, “Return the jade bracelet to the third family.” When had Xu Qing become so sharp-tongued?!

“No, Third Sister-in-law gave this to me willingly! She’s filial to me.” Chen Qiulian was still reluctant to part with this bracelet and didn’t hesitate to argue with Old Master Xu.

Xu Qing frowned slightly. Qu Feng wiped her tears at the side. She was unfilial and couldn’t protect her heirloom jade bracelet.

Xu Qing knew why Qu Feng was willing to give this jade bracelet to Chen Qiulian back then. It was entirely because of “Little Xu Qing”! Now, she was “Little Xu Qing”, so she had to get this jade bracelet back for Qu Feng no matter what.

Xu Qing asked with a dark expression, “So how can I make you return the bracelet to my mother?”

“No matter what, this is mine!” Chen Qiulian covered her wrist.

Xu Qing really wanted to stab her and kill her. However, Xu Qing still suppressed her anger and said, “I’ll give you five thousand yuan. Give me the bracelet.”

As soon as she said this, Chen Qiulian said, “Five hundred thousand. Otherwise, don’t even think about asking me to give it to you.”

Xu Qing laughed. Was Chen Qiulian’s head really filled with mush? “Alright, then I’ll go to the village and talk about how the two elders of the Xu family snatched their daughter-in-law’s dowry!” If not for Xu Jiangxi, she wouldn’t even give them five thousand yuan!
