Chapter 449: Chapter 452 Full of Loopholes_1
"You’ve all seen for yourselves, my girl is heartless! When she got married, I gave her most of our family’s savings as a dowry. The shop was bought with her dowry, but to my dismay, I haven’t even received half a pound of marinated meat in return. All the silver has been fed to a pack of ingrates!"
Liu’s family covered her face, weeping bitterly as if truly heartbroken.
At the same time, she was also a bit panicked.
Only a few months into the marriage, and it was as if Qiao Duo’er had become a completely different person, emanating a chilling aura.
But it was too late for regrets; she had no choice but to brazen it out.
With that thought, Liu’s family cried even louder.
Qiao Laixi also said with tearful eyes, "Duo’er, your mother’s health is failing. Please, for the sake of how she raised you, save her, give her some silver for medicine."
"Big sister, I never thought you could be such a person!"
Qiao Jingu pointed at Qiao Duo’er’s nose, his face full of indignation.
If Qiao Duo’er remembered correctly, this was the first time Qiao Jingu had ever called her sister.
Whether it was her previous self or the last time they met, Qiao Jingu always called her a fool or an idiot, and only in somewhat kinder moments did he call her a foolish girl.
Qiao Duo’er curled her lip, "Every one of you here has sons and daughters of your own. Did you give away most of your family’s wealth when you married off your first daughter?"
The crowd shook their heads; they would never do such a foolish thing.
What about marrying off the younger sisters and brothers?
Or does the family not need to live on as well?
Liu’s family slapped her thigh, "Weren’t you the one who made it sound so appealing, saying you would make us proud by marrying off in splendor? That you would surely not forget us afterward? But now you turn your back on us. How am I supposed to live now?"
"You say you gave me most of your wealth, and that’s how I bought this shop. So how come the little that is left is not enough for you to buy medicine?"
Qiao Duo’er blinked innocently.
She felt anxious for them with such a flawed mistake.
The others, upon closer thought, indeed found that the words of Qiao’s Family Member did not hold water.
But seeing the Madam weeping so desolately, it didn’t seem like an act.
"Mother, please take it easy, you mustn’t injure yourself. If big sister is unfilial, you still have us!" Qiao Mei’er consoled.
No sooner had she spoken than Liu’s family felt an urge to throw herself against the wall.
Qiao Laixi and Qiao Mei’er each grabbed one of Liu’s family, preventing her from hurting herself.
Qiao Hua’er quietly stepped back two paces; she had been very low-key from start to finish. If others saw her aggressive demeanor, how could she get married in the future?
Only Qiao Mei’er was foolish, actually thinking their parents cared equally for the two sisters.
In her eyes, it was clear that to their parents, the son was unique and precious, so even if they managed to get something from Qiao Duo’er, it would have nothing to do with them.
Sensing that Liu’s family was on the brink of despair, some people had already forgotten their initial doubts and instead began to persuade Qiao Duo’er and her husband.
"How can you be so heartless, child? After all, they are the parents who raised you. Just say something nice and wait for your mother to get over this tough period before discussing further."
"If you drive your mother to her death, don’t expect to have a good ending yourself!"
"There are no grudges between mother and daughter that last overnight. Just apologize to your mother, and don’t be ungrateful in the future. She will certainly forgive you!"
"A woman’s family is her support in her marital home. If you fall out with your family, you’ll have no one to lean on."
Qiao Duo’er swept a glance at Qiao’s Family Member, they would support her?
She almost laughed at the absurdity.
Previously, Qiao Duo’er would not have dared to retort, but now, she was no longer the person she used to be.
She could not only not let Qiao’s Family Member get their way, she also had to seek justice for the poor original self.
