Mrs. Zhao said harshly, "You are ugly to begin with. Cry, cry, cry. You will become even uglier. What if someone dislikes you? I can tell you that this betrothal gift cannot be returned."

Kong could only nod repeatedly and step forward personally, ready to arrest Ge Guihua.

For the first time in her life, Ge Guihua ran away, or rather, hid away. Seeing this, Kong's face changed.

It didn't matter that Ge Xinghua had gone against him before, after all, Ge Xinghua was a little clever, and Kong knew about this.

But now, even Ge Guihua, who has always been honest, does this. Where can she put her face as a mother?

Kong immediately raised her eyebrows and gritted her teeth.

"Stop right there! Who told you to move, you little bitch?"

Ge Guihua seemed to be frightened and stood there in a daze, but the door had been locked and she couldn't run out.

Ge Guihua sought help everywhere, but every member of the Ge family had indifference on their faces. When Ge Guihua looked at Ge Xinghua, she was still holding her hands, as if watching a fire from the other side of the river, leaving Ge Guihua unable to vent her resentment.

Seeing Kong's hand reaching out again, Ge Guihua shouted loudly in shock and anger.

"Mom! Don't catch me! You can't believe what Ge Xinghua said. If she really married a good family, she would never help her family. Even if she was clever, she would only use it on herself. She would never let her family take advantage of her!"

"Ge Xinghua secretly sold some of the things that our aunt asked us to bring back when we went back to our parents' home, and she hid all the money. Don't trust her, she's not honest! Let her marry Butcher Wang! She has offended our aunt so much before, and our aunt will never find her a husband again. She won't be able to marry into any good family!"

The Ge family was a little concerned about the latter words, but not as much as the former ones.

Mrs. Zhao was the first one to slam the table and stand up, glaring at Ge Xinghua.

"What? You, a little girl, dare to hide the silver? No, you actually dared to secretly sell the food that Cao'er gave us? Where's the silver?"

As Mrs. Zhao spoke, she spread out her hands and glared at Ge Xinghua fiercely, looking like a debt collector.

Kong also stopped and looked at her daughter in surprise, but after the surprise, she felt that the matter was not too unexpected.

It was Ge Xinghua's repeated acts of resistance that made Kong realize that her eldest daughter was much more thoughtful than she seemed.

Coincidentally, no one in the Ge family doubted Ge Guihua's words, and several pairs of eyes were fixed on Ge Xinghua.

Old Man Ge tapped his pipe and said unhappily.

"Girl, how could you do this? How could you sell the food your aunt gave us? How much silver did you get? Hurry and take out the money."

Ge Youfu also stood up and walked forward to grab Ge Xinghua's arm.

"How dare you hide the money, you little bitch! Why don't you hand it over to me right now?"

When Ge Youfu was talking, he wanted to ask Ge Xinghua for money, without considering that his eldest daughter was already a grown-up girl, and this behavior was inappropriate.

Ge Xinghua pulled back, avoiding Ge Youfu's hand, took two steps back before standing still, straightened her clothes that were scratched and said in a bad mood.

"I didn't say I wouldn't give it to you, why are you in such a hurry?"

This made everyone present silent again. They all looked at Ge Xinghua with suspicion. Obviously, they didn't expect Ge Xinghua to be so honest and admit it.

Ge Guihua didn't believe it either and thought that Ge Xinghua was trying to play tricks again, but unfortunately she guessed wrong.

Ge Xinghua's subsequent actions fully demonstrated that she came back well prepared.

Ge Xinghua first sneered, glanced at Ge Guihua, then took a few steps towards Ge Guihua and snorted coldly.

"As expected, the dog that bites is not called Ge Guihua. You have indeed made progress, but it's a pity that your efforts are in vain."

As soon as she finished speaking, without waiting for Mrs. Zhao to get angry, Ge Xinghua took out two taels of silver from her bosom in front of everyone, then put it in the palm of her hand half-raised and said to the Ge family.

"This silver is indeed what I saved after secretly selling part of the grain given by my aunt. It's all here. I didn't have to take it back today, but before I came back, I had already made up my mind that I must take this silver back."

"Because I know that even if I spend these two taels of silver, it can't change the rest of my life. In this case, I might as well take it home and give it to my grandparents, parents, to show my sincerity."

None of the Ge family members could understand this.

Mrs. Zhao was even more impatient. She didn't care about her sincerity or not. She only cared about the silver in Ge Xinghua's hand. Thinking of this, she couldn't wait to snatch the silver.

However, she failed. Ge Xinghua took a step back to avoid Zhao Po's hand and spoke again without waiting for the other party to attack.

"Don't worry, grandma. Now that I have taken it back, I will naturally honor you with it. But I have to say this in advance. I can give you this silver, but it's only two taels of silver, which is nothing. What I want you to know is that I took this silver back to show my position."

"I am a member of the Ge family. I have been one since I was born, and I will always be a member of the Ge family. I have been hanging out outside for so long these past two days, and I have come to understand that people, especially women, cannot live without their maternal family. If they want to live a good life, they need the help of their maternal family, so I came back."

Hearing what Ge Xinghua said, the Ge family members showed satisfaction on their faces, and it was obvious that they agreed with what Ge Xinghua said.

Who else can this woman rely on if not her natal family?

Isn't this as it should be!

Ge Guihua felt something was wrong, but unfortunately she had no right to interrupt.

Ge Xinghua also saw the change in the Ge family's expressions, and she felt relieved, then continued.

"These two taels of silver are all the money I have saved. I have handed over all my family assets. Now I only have two taels, but when I marry a good family in the future, I will naturally receive benefits from my family. Of course, the premise is that I can marry a rich man. I have to marry a rich man."

"I can't do this alone. It requires the efforts of our entire family. As the saying goes, if one person succeeds, the whole family will benefit. I hope that from now on, everyone in our family will stop holding each other back."

As she spoke, seeing that Mrs. Zhao was becoming more and more impatient, Ge Xinghua gave her two taels of silver, temporarily shutting her up.

Mrs. Zhao was in a much better mood after receiving the silver. Who wouldn't like to have two taels of silver out of thin air? At the same time, she was a little suspicious. Was Ge Xinghua giving the silver too generously?

Could it be that she has more hidden inside of her?

Or is it hidden outside?

The silver was not found before, so it must have been hidden outside by the other party? What a bad girl!
