Mrs. Chen’s face turned red, "If I wanted to remarry, I would have done so long ago, I wouldn’t have waited until today!"
She looked around the room, "You all are really bullying me, I’ll go find Erlang!"
Jiang Rong sneered, "He’s an outsider, what right does he have to interfere in the Old Jiang Family’s affairs?"
Mrs. Chen choked up but still came out from the room.
She thought it over outside, it was really best not to tell Erlang about this matter. As for his lineage, he himself didn’t know, and she’d already decided that as long as Erlang’s biological parents didn’t come looking, she’d keep this secret for a lifetime.
After thinking, Mrs. Chen walked towards Yun Jiao’s room.
Yun Jiao was in her room reading a medical book, and when she saw Mrs. Chen enter, she quickly stood up.
Mrs. Chen really had no one to consult with, so she lowered her voice and relayed everything Mr. Jiang had said.
Yun Jiao didn’t have time to be shocked about Jiang Youzhi not being Mrs. Chen’s biological son. Hearing that only three acres of land were to be given to Erlang, which he could only claim once he came of age, her brow furrowed, "Mom, I feel that those three acres might not be secured in the future. Perhaps it would be better if Mr. Jiang changed it into silver."
Mrs. Chen hesitated a bit, "Not even one acre, what will the whole family eat in the future?"
"When Erlang grows up, won’t he blame me?"
At this moment, Erlang suddenly walked in from the doorway, "Mom, I won’t blame you."
"I heard people say a good man doesn’t eat a divided family meal, a good woman doesn’t wear her wedding clothes. I don’t covet those acres; when I grow up, I’ll earn money to feed myself."
"Sister-in-law is right, it’s better to just ask for silver. With the silver, it’s also good for treating Third Brother’s leg."
Mrs. Chen, hearing Erlang say this, couldn’t help but tear up, "Erlang has become so understanding."
She bowed her head, wiping her tears, "It’s all my fault, not even having a family to rely on, no parents or brothers to back me up. It’s only right they bully me."
She had been sold to a wealthy family as a maid since she was a child, and she couldn’t even remember who her biological parents were.
Yun Jiao patted Mrs. Chen’s hand, softly saying, "Mom, don’t be sad."
"Even if they don’t give us a single copper coin, as long as I’m here, I won’t let you all starve."
"I’ll also do my best to heal Erlang’s leg."
In her past life, she never lacked money and could say she had no concept of it. To her, whether they got what the Jiang Family had or not didn’t matter.
She thought for a moment, "However, regarding the house, Mom, you’d better not agree. Erlang is no good; letting him move to the east wing simply won’t do."
"Also, about the old man’s and old lady’s retirement, you need to ask clearly and get it in black and white in the family division papers so they can’t make outrageous demands in the future."
Mrs. Chen wiped her tears, "Alright, I understand."
She took Erlang back to the main room, "Dad, there’s still silver at home, and we’ve raised pigs and chickens, shouldn’t these also be divided?"
"Also, over the years, the family must have saved some silver, shouldn’t some of it be given to us as well?"
Before Mr. Jiang could speak, Jiang Rong stood up, "And you still want to divide the silver?"
"All these years, how much silver has been spent on Erlang? It’s good enough that I’m not asking you for silver."
At this point, Jiang Hua also nodded, "That’s true, Erlang spent more than thirty taels of silver, right? Logically, this silver should come from your big house."
"Counting up, you should be looking for silver from us." Thɪs chapter is updated by 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹•𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖•𝗇𝗲𝘁
Looking at the two men’s attitude, Mrs. Chen felt deeply dejected.
She had married into the Jiang Family for twenty years, treating them as her family, but who knew they saw her as an outsider.
When she married in, dozens of taels of silver from her dowry were poured into this family, and now she had to quibble over petty change with them.
It’s pointless, truly pointless.
