Chapter 630: The New Wife is Hard to Handle
Jia's face froze.
She knew Wu Na had a bad temper, but she didn't expect that she would be so tough right after getting married.
And this is the case of having a child before marriage.
Mr. Gu, Gu Youtian and others did not expect Wu Na to swear directly.
Wu Na was very angry.
Whose mother-in-law starts to settle accounts right after drinking her daughter-in-law's tea?
This is to use her as a scapegoat to make up for the deficit.
But this deficit was not caused by her. Didn't Gu Ruinian also have to spend money to marry someone else? What's more, she didn't ask for a dowry or a new house.
Return the two hundred taels of silver. Do you think she can't do the math?
What was bought in a new house? Two red candles and a quilt, how much could they be worth? The feast was sumptuous, but even if the whole village was invited to the feast, it would not cost two hundred taels.
What's more, people who come to the banquet will pay gifts, and maybe the Gu family will make a fortune from her and Ruinian's marriage.
Since Jia was settling accounts with her, she wanted to settle them carefully.
She must return the gift money.
Just as Wu Na guessed, the Gu family did borrow money from the clan to prepare the wedding banquet for Gu Ruinian's wedding, but it did not cost more than two hundred taels, only fifty taels at most.
The two hundred taels were negotiated by Jia and others in order to squeeze out Wu Na's five hundred taels of dowry.
"Mom, are you crying poor or settling accounts with me? Don't come to me for the money you owe for marrying your daughter-in-law. After all, you have to spend money to marry anyone. Where did you spend the two hundred taels you mentioned? Where is the account book? Let's settle the accounts today." Wu Na took the initiative.
Jia and others almost vomited blood.
How did this idiot Wu Na become so smart?
"Is this how you talk to your mother-in-law? I only said one sentence and you have ten sentences waiting for me." Jia said dissatisfiedly.
Wu Na held her belly and said, "What mother-in-law would want to ask for money from her daughter-in-law right after she gets married? You want to be a wicked mother-in-law to see if I will cooperate. Since you want to settle the bill for me, then bring me the list of gifts from yesterday's banquet and the list of purchases for the banquet. Let's compare and see how much money was spent. Don't try to trick me into making up for the shortfall. I didn't even ask for a betrothal gift or a new house."
Jia was speechless for a moment.
Mr. Gu, Gu Youtian and the others looked at each other quickly. Wu Na was really hard to fool.
He asked for the gift list and the shopping list right away. Wouldn't it be a slap in his face if he took them out?
Wu Na took a cold glance and knew what Grandpa Gu and others were planning.
This group of people are in the same group, but she doesn't buy it when they send her mother-in-law to challenge her.
Her father is the head of the village, so she is afraid of no one.
Wu Na said coldly: "You got a daughter-in-law and a child for nothing without going through the six ceremonies, so give me the gift money you received yesterday. This request is not too much. Don't think that I took the gift money to spend on myself. I will keep it for my confinement."
Mr. Gu and others took a breath, and the first thing Wu Na did was to ask them for money.
Mrs. Gu's kind smile could no longer be maintained, and she said with a stern face, "The gift money is not for you young people, it is for us old people to show our favor. Now that you are getting married and the family has given you the gift money, we have to return it if there is something wrong with their family."
Wu Na bent down and pulled the brazier to her feet, saying, "This is your business. I don't care."
Jia's chest was heaving with anger. Wasn't it agreed that the unmarried pregnant daughter-in-law would be at the mercy of her mother-in-law? Before she even asked for her daughter-in-law's dowry, her daughter-in-law started to make moves.
"How outrageous." Jia was a little out of control.
Gu Youtian gave Jia a warning look.
I haven't coaxed my daughter-in-law into taking out the money yet, I have to keep calm.
Mr. Gu thought for a moment, then slowly spoke, "Since you are married into the Gu family, you are my Gu family's daughter-in-law. You already know the family situation. The gift money should be kept for repayment. The money owed for the wedding should be borrowed from your dowry first, and then returned to you when the family has money. To put it bluntly, now that your eldest brother's family has separated, this family will belong to you and Ruinian from now on."
I thought that since Mr. Gu was the elder, Wu Na would give him some face if he asked.
Wu Na, however, responded without any distinction.
"I just got married and you want to use your granddaughter-in-law's dowry to pay off the family's debts. I've finally opened my eyes. The dowry my parents gave me is to subsidize me, not to fill your holes. I advise you to give up the idea of calculating my dowry. You talk nicely, the family will belong to me and Ruinian in the future, but don't you look at what you have at home? Is it full of debts?"
Mr. Gu was so angry that he wanted to escape underground.
Old Mrs. Gu was afraid that Old Man Gu would get angry, so she patted the old man on the back to calm him down.
She said that Wu Ren's seed was not a good embryo. She saw it in Pingchuan County. Why did Gu Ruinian accept such a thing?
In total, they spent five hundred taels of silver, but their whole family could only watch and not eat.
It’s so frustrating.
She glared at Jia fiercely. As a grandmother, it was not appropriate for her to scold her grandson's wife. Jia, you must teach her a lesson quickly.
Wu Na held her belly and said wantonly, "Don't think I don't know what you are thinking. You want to use pregnancy before marriage to control me, but I don't know if you have the ability to do it. You should tell me as soon as possible. If you don't like this child, you can take my surname Wu."
Jia was so angry that she fell backwards.
She was trying to use her daughter-in-law's pregnancy out of wedlock to take advantage of her, but her daughter-in-law gave up and even took the child's surname.
Now Mr. Gu and Gu Youtian could no longer sit still.
Whose new daughter-in-law is so crazy? How can the Gu family live like this if this gets out?
For a moment, the room fell silent.
Old Man Gu looked at Gu Ruinian, meaning that he should control Wu Na.
Gu Ruinian sat there without reacting, but he was ecstatic in his heart.
This group of so-called relatives are plotting against Wu Na's money, which is equivalent to plotting against him, so he will not help them.
He wanted to go to town with Wu Na, close the shop and live a simple life.
Mr. Gu and others will have nothing to do with him in the future.
Wu Na was very satisfied with Gu Ruinian's silence, as silence meant she supported her.
"Since you want to claim my dowry after I get married, let's separate. Ruinian and I will live alone." Wu Na said.
Wu Na's plan to split the family and kill Mr. Gu and others caught them off guard.
The newly married daughter-in-law is asking for a separation from the family. This is probably the first case in the entire Yanguan Town, and it has the same sensational effect as Tong Pandyi's divorce.
"Separation? You're just getting married and you're separating. Aren't you afraid of people poking your back?" Mrs. Gu was so angry that she wanted to jump up and down. She pointed at Wu Na and said, "You're a troublemaker. You've made the whole family restless on your first day at the Gu family."
He pointed at Gu Ruinian and scolded him, then asked Gu Ruinian what he thought.
Gu Ruinian spread his hands and listened to his wife.
The elders were very angry.
"I'm not saying this out of anger. We're going to separate today. I don't want anything else but the gift money you received yesterday. After the separation, Ruinian and I will rent a house in town. The dowry my parents gave me is enough for us to live on."
Wu Na turned around and went back to her room.
She was going to take inventory of her dowry and move to the town with Gu Ruinian before the New Year.
