Chapter 246: Chapter 246: Don’t Say It Was Picked Up on the Road

"It was bought jointly by our family and Ji Ying’s family,"

Xiong Xihua hurried out, fearing that if she arrived too late, Ji Ying would be bullied by Zhao Juxiang.

She knew Ji Ying’s temperament well, always kind and gentle, hardly ever saying harsh words, which made it easy for others to bully her.

"What, did we borrow money from you to buy the land, or is it bothering you?" Xiong Xihua’s personality was explosive like firecrackers, she lashed out at Zhao Juxiang, saying, "It’s already mealtime, why aren’t you hurrying back home? Could it be that you want to freeload a meal?"

"However, your son works in a city cooperative, surely bringing in a good sum every month, and Qingjiang is a teacher, it’s impossible for you to resort to freeloading."

These words from Xiong Xihua directly blocked any thoughts Zhao Juxiang had of coming over for a meal.

"Who, who wants to freeload a meal!" Zhao Juxiang turned pale and reddish in anger, stomping her foot, "I’m speaking with Ji Ying, this is a matter between sisters-in-law, Sister Xihua should not interfere, people who don’t know would think this is Sister Xihua’s home."

Zhao Juxiang sarcastically taunted Xiong Xihua.

Xiong Xihua instantly felt so angry she wished she could slap Zhao Juxiang.

Ji Ying hurried forward, saying, "Sister Xihua is helping me. If you have questions, Sister Xihua has already answered them. To be precise, the land was bought jointly by my family, Qinghe, and Xu Song."

"Impossible."

Zhao Juxiang immediately denied it, retorting, "At the time of the family division, you still played the victim, saying you were broke. It’s only been half a year, and now a new daughter-in-law has been brought into your family, and you still have so much money to buy land? Do you think this money was blown in by the wind, or fell from the sky?"

"Don’t tell me you found money on the road."

"Ji Ying, you always seem honest and upright, but it turns out you’re actually quite cunning, even having a secret stash of money."

The more Zhao Juxiang spoke, the angrier she became, thinking she had secured a huge advantage, yet unknowingly, she had been at a loss.

"Zhao Juxiang, you should really check your conscience,"

Ji Ying felt sick to her stomach from anger. When she was in the Xu Family’s home, only her own family suffered, even delaying Nianji’s wedding for a year because of Xu Zhihao’s wedding.

Had it not been for her daughter’s clever idea of selling Mung Bean Jelly, her family would still be destitute, let alone affording to bring in a daughter-in-law!

They nearly lost the daughter-in-law to another family. Every time she thought about it, Ji Ying felt terrified. If she had truly been unable to bring someone into the family, how would she face Nianji as a mother?

"What do you mean by no conscience? You can’t tell me you’ve earned so much money in just half a year," Zhao Juxiang argued vehemently.

Ji Ying, her heart pounding with anger, was about to speak when Xu Nianhua, who had been watching, pulled her back, only to hear Ji Ying burst out, "All these years, I’ve married into the Xu family and never kept a dime for myself. When Nianhua was three years old, because she couldn’t get proper medical attention due to lack of money, her fever spiked to 39 degrees. We nearly lost her. If I had really hoarded any private money, wouldn’t I have used it to treat my daughter?"

"Not to mention the recent dilemma, you insisted on Zhihao’s marriage to a woman from the city, demanding that my son Nianji delay his wedding for a year. If I really had money, would I let my own son suffer?"

Ji Ying, so enraged that she felt like exposing everything, realized that the grievances she had endured over the past twenty years couldn’t possibly be explained in just a few words.
