Chapter 48 pt 2 (2/2)

“It’s not that I scold you, why bother fighting the truth. Besides, it’s not all to blame E’er’s indiscretion. If not for the fact that Jinrui couldn’t hold it, how could this happen! You are going to be a grandmother, isn’t it? I don’t know if this kind of thing doesn’t’ come together, you don’t want to hold your grandson?” Uncle Zhao complained.

Hong shi rolled her eyes at him angrily and turned back to the room.

Of course she not only disliked Xue Cui’e’s indiscretion, but also had the heart to teach Zhao shi a lesson. Back then when she married Zhao Wang, Zhao shi, who was a sister-in-law, gave her a bad attitude and said she was a concubine behind her back.

Being a stepmother was difficult, and after all these years, Hong shi’s life finally went smoothly. Then Zhao shi finally had something to beg of her, how could Hong shi easily let this opportunity go. She thought that the Xue family would honestly ask for the marriage, but who would have thought that the other party had been silent.

Counting the days, it is estimated that the girl’s belly has been around three months, and if she continues to procrastinate, even if the marriage is really done, the things in her belly can’t be covered.

“You just continue to do it, ruin Jinrui’s reputation. Do you still expect him to become a xiucai and let you be a xuicai’s mother?!” Uncle Zhao cursed in the outhouse.

The more she listened the more annoying she became, and Hong shi came out stomping: “Since you have made a decision about this matter, why do you still ask me?”

Zhao Wang looked at the mother: “Was it not you who said that you won’t give the Xue family a betrothal gift. How can you not give a bride-gift when you marry a wife, especially when there is such a relationship. It will make outsiders laugh.”

The Zhao family’s family background is not bad. The family also has dozens of acres of land, and it is also one of the best in Zhaojiazhuang. Otherwise, Hong shi, who was a beautiful girl, would not marry Zhao Wang, a widower who was older than her by more than ten years. Zhao Wang can still afford the bride price for his son to marry a wife.

Hong shi came to the edge of the Kang. She sat: “Isn’t because I am angry? I have such a good son. I had wanted Jin Rui to marry the daughter of Liu Dizhu’s house.”

Hong shi’s tone was a bit coquettish, and Zhao Wang just loved it. The old man loved his young wife. Zhao Wang is more than fifty this year, and Hong shi is less than forty. She was spoiled to the point where she has complete authority at home.

The second daughter-in-law of the Zhao family saw this at the door, and she gritted her teeth with anger, wishing to throw the old witch into the river, so as not to instigate the relationship between her man and the father-in-law at home every day.

Of course, this was just thinking only. She lowered her head and picked beans, but her ears stood up to listen to the movement in the main room.

“Then we will go there tomorrow?”

“Go early, and get things done early.”

“Just follow the old rules and pay another ten liang of bride price. After all, it is Jin Rui’s fault. Our family has dragged on for so long, so it’s just to give some face to my sister.”

Although Hong shi was unwilling, she still agreed.
