1212 Paying a Visit With Generous Gifts
In the past, Tan Yue would always be able to get money from Jiang Yi, sometimes less and sometimes more. Otherwise, she would just go steal some money from the cabinet. As long as Jiang Yi did not find out, it was not a big deal.
However, after the Xia family stopped helping them, there was not much money left at home as Tan Hu had gambled away most of it. She had not been able to get anything from Jiang Yi for a few months already. Her mother-in-law beat and scolded her every day. In addition, Zhou Nan was a coward. He did not dare to say anything to his mother and would only stand by and watch Tan Yue suffer.
Tan Yue was always getting scolded about the same few issues. She was labeled a money-losing good-for-nothing and a useless b*tch, and she was also mocked for only giving birth to girls. She already had three daughters. If she continued to have children, she was quite sure that it would still be a daughter. However, if she did not manage to have a son this year, then she would end up like Tan Jing and be sent back to the Tan family.
If they could sell the “divine medicine” and earn enough money, it would not be a problem for her to buy a small house in the countryside. This way, even if she got a divorce, she could still live a good life with her children.
“I don’t care. If you don’t give me anything, I won’t go! Get Eldest Sister to go with you,” Tan Yue said stubbornly.
“Fine, fine, fine. I’ll give you a little,” Jiang Yi said vaguely.
“A little? Why should I only get a little? I want the same share as Eldest Brother and the rest. I’m also a child of the Tan family. I must have what they have. I don’t want more, but I definitely can’t have less!” Tan Yue said.
Jiang Yi did not have much choice. She only had two daughters. One had already been abandoned and the other was very calculative.
Early the next morning, the two women left the house with a bag of rice, an old hen which they raised at home, a fish and a pot of soybean oil. These things had cost Jiang Yi a lot of money! All these items could be considered generous gifts.
However, as the saying went, if one could not bear to part with a child, one would not be able to catch a wolf. Since she had already decided to do this, she must gain something big! If they went empty-handed, they might not even be able to walk through the main door.
Jiang Yi was stopped at the neighborhood entrance. She was still a person on the blacklist! Without Xu Lan’s instructions, the patrol team did not dare to let her go so easily.
“Please let me in. I’m the Xia family’s in-law! I’m really here to celebrate the children turning one month old! Please be kind and let me off,” Jiang Yi begged.
“No! We can’t let you in without the Xia family’s instructions! Please understand that this is our job!” the patrol team member said.
“Then make a phone call! You should at least call and ask them!” Jiang Yi said.
The patrol team member dialed Luo Yu’s number doubtfully and said, “Big brother, that woman is here again today. Should we let her in or just chase her away? It’s not up to us to decide.”
“Why is she here again… I’ll go and ask the family. You guys hold her back first,” Luo Yu said helplessly.
Xu Lan and the others were chatting happily in the living room. They did not expect the Tan family to come to their house during this hour. In fact, they thought that those people would be sensible enough not to come again!
“Xiao Luo, is she here to cause trouble or does she have other motives?” Xu Lan asked.
“I hear from the guys at the door that she has brought a lot of things like rice, flour and oil. She seems to be here to celebrate something,” Luo Yu said.
The Xia family did not lack any of the items she brought. Xu Lan was about to instruct Luo Yu to send Jiang Yi away when Qiao Mei became curious about what Jiang Yi would do if she came in.
She could not help the fact that she was a very curious person by nature. Perhaps Jiang Yi was here to take advantage of her, but she still wanted to see the pleading expression on Jiang Yi’s face.
“Mother~ Let them come in and let’s see what they want,” Qiao Mei said sweetly.
“But what if she’s here to harm you? Have you forgotten how she treated you previously?” Xu Lan asked worriedly.
“That won’t happen. We still have Brother Luo here! Besides, Xia Zhe will be back soon. What else can she do to me?” Qiao Mei held Xu Lan’s hand and continued, “Mother, don’t worry. I know my limits. I’m very strong, so they definitely won’t be able to bully me.”
Xu Lan could not dissuade Qiao Mei, so she had no choice but to agree. Luo Yu went to the door to fetch them personally. During this short period of time, Qiao Mei went upstairs to change into a beautiful dress. She wanted the Tan family members to know that even after giving birth, she still maintained her good looks! She was not some dowdy woman from the countryside.
