Chapter 81 - 81 Taken Advantage Of

81 Taken Advantage Of

He had realized that they did not have a close relationship, and Ms. Fang was not very easy to deal with. Besides, Ms. Fang had a daughter-in-law who was the daughter of the County Magistrate…

By that time, the Yang Family might not be able to take any advantage of the marital connection.

Persuaded by his wife, Yang Liang decided to marry Yang Xiaoni off to a landlord as the concubine.

But he had a very narrow network.

When he eventually found one landlord who intended to get a concubine, he proposed 20 liang as dowry and was beaten by the slave. The landlord got extremely annoyed.

She was just a countryside girl and the family needed 20 liang? That was crazy!

The landlord was not going to be taken advantage of.

Six or eight liang would be the maximum amount!

Furious and annoyed, Yang Liang went to a widower.

That turned out to be an even worse decision.

Those widowers, who would like to remarry, were all poor. They could barely afford a wedding gift of 3 or 6 liang.

The poor one waved away the proposal, when he heard that the wedding gift should be at 20 liang.

Everyone had difficulty in making money. 20 liang for one daughter-in-law? That was not worth the while! Half a kilo of rice was only 7 wen, and a wedding gift at this large amount was just beyond the possibility, even if the girl might be a fairy from heaven.

Wives were married by men to spend their days with and give birth to babies, what did they need a fairy from heaven for?

Yang Liang got so distressed after being turned down so many times.

If they failed to find anyone else who would like to offer the wedding gift, the Shao Family would be the only choice left.

Ms. Tian shouted at Yang Liang for being useless, and then she sneered. “That goddamned girl is a part of our family. We are her brother and sister-in-law, acting like parents for her. I can marry her to anyone I want! No one has the right to get involved. Why must our business be in charge of anyone else? It is against the ethical standards!”

But Ms. Tian could do nothing except make some complaints at home, since Third Grandma Yang had already made the announcement in public and the Land Officer, as well the chiefs all nodded in agreement.

Despite her fierce temper, she knew pretty well that she could not make chiefs and Land Officers change their decision. If she dared to make any more complaints, Third Grandma Yang did have the right to trap her inside the ancestral hall where she could be abused.

What a nosy old woman!

Yang Liang did not want to hear what Ms. Tian said any more. He decided to go to Ms. Fang to pass on the message and talk about this matter.

Annoyed, Ms. Tian thought for a while and said, “I will pass on the message, it is not proper for a guy like you to do anything about it.”

Yang Liang, who had been humiliated to the bottom of a valley already, was glad that Ms. Tian could handle the matter instead of him.

Ms. Tian did not go there personally. Instead, she paid a messenger two times to pass on the message and stressed to him that he should treat the Shao Family badly.

She was going to make sure that Ms. Fang got so annoyed that she would not want to visit them.

In that way, she could tell others that the Shao Family did not want to marry Yang Xiaoni, and in this way, she could marry Yang Xiaoni to anyone she wanted.

She hated the goddamned sister-in-law of hers, and she was not going to allow her to live happily.

However, Qiao Xuan came over with Ms. Fang.

What she had not expected was that Qiao Xuan and Ms. Fang did not come to her home at all, but went to Third Grandma Yang’s home directly.

When Third Grandma Yang sent someone to fetch Yang Liang and Ms. Tian, the couple was still wondering what was going on.

Seeing Ms. Qiao and Ms. Fang, Ms. Tian’s face changed and she screamed. “What are you doing here?!”

Third Grandma Yang got annoyed and she sneered. “I am also involved with Xiaoni’s marriage. Why can’t they come to my place? Since we are all here, we can have a thorough discussion!”
