At this time, the eldest wife had lost her arrogance and domineering attitude. They looked at Caiwei eagerly like a duck with its neck pinched. They were like prisoners waiting for the judge's verdict.
Caiwei took a breath, slowly stood in the middle of the ground, looked around at the people in the eldest wife's house, and spoke calmly.
If you want me to keep quiet, there are three conditions.
"You say, you say..."
Caiwei said slowly, holding up a finger.
"First: We will give grandpa and grandma the 200-wen pension every month, but other than that, you are not allowed to find any reason or excuse to ask us for money. If grandpa and grandma are sick, they can ask whoever gave the land and house to them."
"Oh, how can this be?" Mu Bai sat on the ground, slapped her thigh and howled, "What a sin! Are you second wife blaming me for being partial? Although I gave the land and house to your uncle, the money I spent on your father was no less than your uncle's. In order to support your father's studies, I pawned my silver bracelet as a dowry. That was my only jewelry."
The old lady's tone became more and more sad at the end, and it seemed that she was about to burst into tears.
She could never agree to the dead girl's request.
The second son had always felt guilty towards his parents because he did not follow their arrangement on marriage. Therefore, although on the surface, he only gave them 200 coins as pension money every month, in fact, she and the old man received more than 400 or 500 coins from Zhongqing every month.
They had a headache today and a backache tomorrow, and they would ask Zhongqing for money. Moreover, as a student of the imperial academy, Mu Zhongqing also handed over all the grain and rice he received every month to them. Therefore, Mu Baishi could not accept the treatment of only receiving 200 coins every month.
"Oh my, my dear, how could you give birth to such a heartless and vicious daughter? She wants to break the relationship between us mother and son..."
The old lady cried to the sky, blowing her nose and slapping her thighs.
"Enough!"
Caiwei shouted angrily: "What do you mean by vicious heart? Mother-son affection?"
"Think about it, grandma wanted to marry the frivolous daughter of Mr. Huang from the next village to my father as his wife just for two acres of good land. Miss Huang's reputation can be spread ten miles away. Grandma is going to ruin her son's lifelong happiness for two acres of land. Doesn't it also deserve the word vicious heart?"
"As for the mother-son affection——"
Caiwei raised a sarcastic smile at the corner of her mouth: "A mother who wants to sell her son for just two acres of land, such a mother-son affection is worthless, it's better not to have it!" "
You, you..."
Mu Bai was speechless after being refuted by Caiwei. She sat on the ground and couldn't cry or make a fuss. She just pointed at Caiwei tremblingly, but couldn't say anything.
Du's eyes also flashed with surprise. Her Wei'er was the most gentle. When did she become so sharp and refined, and even her arrogant and fierce mother-in-law couldn't say a word?
Caiwei ignored Mu Bai's excitement and slowly extended her second finger to the people in the first house.
"Second: No one in the first house is allowed to step into my house again, and is not allowed to find any reason or excuse to interact with us."
"Haha, good job! You have grown wings and even disowned your ancestors. You are worthy of being a good descendant of my Mu family!"
Mu Liankui sneered, his old face turned blue and red, red and purple, and purple and black because of anger, unwillingness, hatred, and frustration. It was very interesting.
"What about the third?"
"Third, please ask grandpa and grandma to write a marriage certificate and allow my parents to marry."
It turned out that the law of the Great Jin Dynasty: For any man and woman to marry, in addition to the official archived marriage certificate, a marriage certificate signed and sealed by the parents of both men and women is required for it to be valid.
Because Mu Liankui and his wife always hated Du, they would never sign the marriage certificate. Until now, Du's identity has been unclear, which is also what Du has been worried about.
Without a marriage certificate, her status was equivalent to that of a concubine. Her parents-in-law almost pawned her to a butcher when her husband was away. Fortunately, nothing happened later, but this matter had become a thorn in Mrs. Du's heart, and she was worried about it all the time.
So when Caiwei made this request, Mrs. Du's heart suddenly rose to her throat. She looked at her parents-in-law nervously, fearing that they would say "no".
