Quick Travel: Love will only affect the speed at which I draw my sword

Chapter 107 The 3-inch Golden Lotus was born at the wrong time 5

Most of the scholars in this era were pedantic, rigid and had high self-esteem, and Cao's father was no exception. Although the Cao family was poor, he always looked down on the Fan family's stinking of gold. If the Qing government hadn't declined, he would still be an official. Besides, based on their son's appearance and knowledge, he couldn't find a lady of any kind. If he really divorced his wife, it would be even harder for Fan Jiayin to get along.

If Father Cao hadn't hastily read his son's letter, he would have had no objection at all to the divorce. But as soon as he found out that his son was short of money, Mr. Fan came to the door.

It would be hard for Cao's father to save face if he could stump a heroic man for a penny. It was impossible for him to bow his head in front of Master Fan.

"My good girl! Let Daddy see what kind of injustice you have suffered. Daddy will make the decision for you!" Mr. Fan heard what the housekeeper said yesterday. If there were no other delays, he would have come yesterday. Why did he take so much dowry? Wasn't it just to make his daughter's life more comfortable?

He originally thought that a scholar's family would respect etiquette, integrity, shame, and clean family rules, so he could safely marry his daughter. Why, the Cao family did not look like a scholar's family at all. If his daughter did not live well in the second half of her life, how could he give his wife Lu, who died early, a hundred years later? Tell me.

Cao's mother forced out a stiff smile and said, "My father-in-law, please don't worry, your family's life is always bumpy, isn't it? Jiayin has just given birth and is still weak, so let's move to the main room to talk. "

Zhang Luojia stopped Mr. Fan and complained one by one about the grievances suffered by the original owner. He did not leave any face to the Cao family, and the scolding father and mother Cao turned red.

"No...no, this is all because of anger..." Cao's mother was still quibbling, and she felt powerless. It had been almost a year since her son left home, and finally the letter came home. It still required money, but their family didn't have so much. The money has to be given to my daughter-in-law. If Fan Jiayin had left as she pleased before receiving the letter from home, she would definitely not have kept her, but now her son, who was far away in a foreign country, had no clothes to wear or food to eat, and it was time to spend money, so she must not make Fan Jiayin leave in anger. ah.

Cao's mother regretted that she had not left any room before, and now she was cowardly speaking good words in front of the father and daughter. Even Cao's father stopped holding his neck and said a few good words with a red face.

Mr. Fan just wanted to support his daughter. He didn't want his daughter to end the marriage with the Cao family. In the future, a woman's family would be left alone with a daughter. What would happen in the future? He didn't know that the Cao family's current attitude was due to lack of money. When he saw his in-laws bowing their heads and admitting their mistakes, which was rare, he felt half relieved and looked at Zhang Luojia to see what she would say.

Master Fan didn't know that Zhang Luojia knew about it. She knew but didn't say anything. She just watched the Cao family saying all the nice things to her and swallowing their anger. She hasn't vented her anger on the original owner yet, so how could she leave the Cao family so easily. She also knew that Mr. Fan didn't want her to end the marriage, and finally said with an impatient expression: "It's okay not to end the marriage, but the two of you must make it clear in writing that it was because they favored boys over girls that they were mean to her during confinement. There is nothing about her being disobedient or treacherous, and she must ensure that she will not be treated harshly in the future or forced to do housework or anything like that.

For the sake of Cao Xuedong, the only bloodline of the Cao family, Cao's father and Cao's mother gritted their teeth and signed this letter of guarantee, which was "insulting to the lintel customs of the Cao family." Mr. Fan returned to the Fan family with satisfaction. He was afraid that the nanny hired from outside would not be good, so he specially took care of the family. Xia Ma, a servant for more than 20 years, called over to serve her.

Zhang Luojia asked Sister-in-law Zhao to send Master Fan away, thinking, if the original owner could not be so angry, tell Master Fan what grievances he had, wouldn't he have ended up like that in his previous life? Children who are too sensible will easily suffer!

Since Mr. Fan came, Cao's mother had been honest for two days. On the third day, she sat on the edge of her bed and sighed, "Hey... we are reunited as a family now. I don't know how Xuedong is doing... I don't know." Does he eat well outside, does he wear warm clothes? There are many places for a person to spend money outside..."

Zhang Luojia didn't answer the question, and just responded to Cao's mother. He thought that if the original owner heard this, he would have taken out the money himself.

Seeing that she didn't answer, Cao's mother was dissatisfied and said, "It's not my fault, Jiayin, Xuedong has been out for so long, why don't you worry about your men?"

Zhang Luojia was amused: "Worried? What are you worried about? He took away most of my dowry. That money is enough for our family to eat and drink for seven or eight years. It has only been one year, and he has used so much?"

Cao's mother was at a loss for words, and after a while she said sadly: "Can the expenses in foreign countries be the same as those in our county? There must be many places to spend money. Why don't we send him some money? Don't think about having no travel expenses when he comes back." , what should I do if I can’t return home?”

"Okay, send it, I have no objection." Zhang Luojia played with the baby Juan and thought about names suitable for girls. The name Juanjuan is too earthy. Changing the name will change the mood.

Mother Cao smiled happily and waited for her to get the money, but she saw Zhang Luojia kept playing with the money-losing thing.

"Good news? Good news?"

"Huh? What's wrong? Why hasn't mother-in-law sent money to Xuedong?" Zhang Luojia looked puzzled.

Mother Cao's smile dropped, "It's not like you don't know the situation of our family. Wherever there is extra spare money, why don't you take some out of your dowry first? When Xuedong succeeds in his studies, you can enjoy the blessings together."

Follow and enjoy the happiness? Zhang Luojia couldn't help but think of the tragic death of the original owner in the plot, and shuddered. "No, there is still some money left in the dowry. I buy things at home on weekdays. My father's four treasures of the study, my mother-in-law's cloth and rouge, all came from my dowry money. You didn't care about what we, my mother and I, were eating and drinking a few days ago. , I also need to make up for myself during confinement, I have almost used up my dowry."

Mother Cao's expression cracked and she quickly asked: "When your father asked the housekeeper to visit you a few days ago, didn't he bring a box of money? Whichever one can be used first?"

Zhang Luojia blinked: "When my father came last time, he said he was worried that I would not make money with too much money, so he decided to take the money back and exchange it for shares in the store to give me a monthly share. Now I have no money. The revenue won't come in until the end of next month. Mother-in-law, if you don't believe it, feel free to search. Anyway, you know exactly what's in my house."

She had put the things into the space a long time ago. If this old godly woman could find her, she would live broadcast eating and sex!

Mother Cao felt that she had not been as angry as in the past few days in her entire life. She tried her best to calm down the anger in her chest, glanced around the room, and then she stood up and rummaged through the cabinets. Was that thing she signed with the old man in vain? No, you have to make up for it!

Xia Ma looked speechless, who are these people? It really makes it come out.

After searching around, she couldn't find the box containing the money. Mother Cao wanted to lose her temper but didn't know what came to mind, so she suppressed her temper and left. Zhang Luojia laughed and said, go and find a way on your own. If you don't get money, your son won't be able to live a comfortable life.
