Chapter 20 Selfishness

Old Mrs. Xue didn't say anything.

Wu rolled his eyes from the side, and also stepped forward and said gently, "A Ling, don't worry, after returning home, you will be in harmony with your sisters and will be well."

Xue Ling whispered, "Thank you for your care from uncle and aunt."

Then he turned to look at his mother.

Jiang Yue said, "It's cold outside, mother-in-law, please come in quickly."

As he said that, he went to help Mrs. Xue himself.

Old Mrs. Xue did not object either.

The group walked along the corridor.

The atmosphere is dull and quiet.

When he arrived at the mourning hall, Old Mrs. Xue held the coffin and finally couldn't stand it and cried.

Sobbing sounds in the room one after another.

Everyone persuaded each other for a long time, and the crying sound gradually stopped.

Old Mrs. Xue put away her thoughts, endured her grief, and ordered Xue Jihong and Xue Jiman to arrange various matters in the outer courtyard. "All families are also paying attention to this matter. We come here today, probably all of us have guessed that you can spread the news first." She sighed heavily, "This witch master passed away, I am afraid that the Jiangling land will begin to turmoil again."

Xue Jihong and his brothers looked at each other and said, "Mother doesn't have to worry too much. As I said, wait for the elders to come over and make a heir for the elder brother first. This way, the funeral ceremony can be used to lead the way as the descendants."

Old Mrs. Xue didn't say anything. Xue Ling observed secretly and found that everyone's eyes were vaguely looking at her mother.

Wu said first, "No matter which one you adopted, you will have to support your sister-in-law in the future. I wonder which one your sister-in-law prefers? It's not that I praise you, Ayuan is the most sensible."

Such a blatant and determined look made Old Mrs. Xue frowned slightly and shook her head almost inaudible.

The room was surprisingly quiet.

Jiang Yue did not answer the conversation.

There is a sense of urgency in the atmosphere.

Xue Ling observed carefully and found that the second uncle had the pride that he was determined to win.

And the third uncle and aunt looked much more cautious.

Finally, Old Mrs. Xue spoke, "This matter is not only about Jiang's family, but also about the Xue family. Ayuan and Ahao are all good children. You can think about Jiang's family. The clan will also focus on discussing it. Ji Hong said nothing wrong. This matter must be decided on the eve of the funeral."

After Old Mrs. Xue said, Jiang Yue went up and said, "Yes."

Then, Old Mrs. Xue said, "Mr. Wu, you will still help your sister-in-law this time. Check out what items you need to buy, and you must do it safely."

Wu immediately responded and said, "In theory, I should have listed the things early, but I don't know what else is missing here. My sister-in-law first talks to me. I'll buy everything I need today. We have a wide range of people and we are not afraid of being too late."

Old Mrs. Xue nodded, as if she was very acknowledging Wu's housekeeper's ability.

Before Jiang Yue could speak, Qiu swept around and said first, "I see the room is cold and there is no charcoal burn? My sister-in-law should have not bought anything."

This ancestral home itself is an old house. Although it was built an empty hall, it had no charcoal. After a while, your hands and feet became cold.

The Xue family is rich, not to mention the masters, even the girls and mothers below are used to being pampered and have prepared enough hand stoves along the way.

Therefore, when I settled down, I felt a little too cold.

Since Wu entered the mourning hall, he was a little puzzled. This sister-in-law should have a broad hand. Xu's mother just went back a few days ago to report that the things used in the ancestral home were all the best and had never been short of daily necessities.

Why didn't the charcoal burn in the house today?

At this time, the third wife, Qiu, had already taken Xue Ling's hand, held it in the palm of her hand, and said pity, "We sir, nothing, look at what the two children are like, are they short of money, or have they forgotten about it these days?"

Old Mrs. Xue is the most afraid of the cold, so she naturally noticed it long ago, but she didn't say anything.

Since Mrs. Qiu had already proposed it, Old Mrs. Xue looked at Jiang Yue and asked, "Why didn't you burn charcoal?"

Xue Ling was worried and called out softly.

Jiang Yue probably understood what Xue Ling meant in her heart, nodded at Xue Ling, and then said, "Go back to my mother-in-law, it's true that she doesn't have enough money, so she didn't buy charcoal. It's my fault to let my mother-in-law and her younger brothers and sisters suffer from cold."

As soon as these words were finished, the room suddenly became silent.

Even the girl and the woman underground couldn't help but look over.

Old Mrs. Xue frowned.

Wu's heart skipped a beat. All the expenses in her ancestral home were indeed deducted.

This matter starts from the beginning.

Jiang Yue was born in the Jiang family's direct descendant and had a generous dowry. Xue Jiyuan was seriously ill. The old man in the clan proposed to have adopted his son, which was recorded under Jiang Yue's name.

According to the customs of the Li Kingdom, if the heir is adopted in the name of a woman, then the dowry in the name of this woman should be given priority to the heir.

Jiang Yue only has a pair of daughters, so naturally he is unwilling to lose his dowry to others.

Therefore, she divided the dowry into two, sought the consent of Mrs. Xue, and invited her parents' home to testify, which was recorded in the names of Xue Ling and Xue Yan.

This incident naturally made Wu unhappy. She had quite an objection to Jiang Yue's actions.

If her son is chosen as his heir, he will recognize Jiang Yue as his mother in the future and take care of Jiang Yue for his old age.

But before he was adopted, Jiang Yue hurriedly divided the property, and Wu was dissatisfied.

Although Mrs. Xue nodded in Jiang Yue’s dowry, it was not an exaggeration.

Jiang Yue went to his ancestral home and didn't have much money to use. Xu's mother followed the old lady and learned about this, she told Wu to know.

Wu had a plan and deliberately withdrew the money from the eldest house. She expected that the eldest sister-in-law, who was the eldest son, had always been stubborn and would never return to the house to show weakness. What's more, she distributed it according to her share in the Xue family. Even if this matter was mentioned, she would have a way to shirk it.

Jiang Yue's actions were already dissatisfied with the Xue family. Now he is blatantly practicing medicine, and there is no need to provoke it. The clan elders will not tolerate such women continuing to ruin the family style.

As long as Jiang Yue dies, even if Ayuan is adopted by Jiang Yue, he will only have a name for himself. Ayuan will be filial to the future.

This is Wu's selfishness.

Everything went very smoothly.

So at this moment, when Jiang Yue suddenly said blatantly that he had no money, Wu was a little confused.

My sister-in-law has been a friend for more than ten years and knows her enemy and is able to win every battle. This sister-in-law is not short of money and is very competitive. How come she suddenly sells miserable now? Speaking of not enough money!

For some reason, Wu had a vague premonition in his heart.
