Chapter 146 Tao Jin sets a trap
When Tao He gave money to Ma Xiu's parents, he had already agreed that he would have nothing to do with Ma Xiu anymore and had obtained a letter of guarantee.
At this moment, Ma Xiu's parents were a little embarrassed when they heard the letter of guarantee, but after thinking about it, they said.
"I don't care about the guarantee letter, you are our daughter, no one can deny this.
We raised you to this age, and we need money, so you have to give us money."
Speaking of this, Ma Xiu's mother added.
"Hurry up, I don't have time to talk to you here. If you don't give me the money, your brother's life will be in danger."
Hearing this, Ma Xiu looked at her mother and said to her.
"What trouble has he gotten into again?"
When Ma Xiu's mother heard this, she immediately said in dissatisfaction.
"How could you say that about your own brother?
Your brother didn't do anything wrong, he was just framed by someone else.
I tell you, quickly call your son-in-law back and ask him to rescue your brother for me.
Yes, why didn’t I think of it before?
This matter can obviously be handled by my son-in-law. If my son-in-law can come forward, how can we let others play tricks on our family?"
Then, from her mother's words, Ma Xiu realized what a foolish thing her brother had done.
Before, my brother used the money from his parents selling themselves to marry a wife and bring her home.
But after the brother brought the wife home, the novelty wore off for a while and the two of them often quarreled.
But my brother was drunk that day and accidentally beat someone to death.
The girl's family naturally didn't agree, so they ran to find Ma Xiu's parents.
Tell them that if they can't come up with 500 yuan to settle the matter, they will report it to the police and accuse Brother Ma Xiu of intentional homicide.
Ma Xiu's parents couldn't bear this, but the family really had no money left.
Only then did he think of looking for Ma Xiu. After all, the person who took Ma Xiu away was obviously a rich man.
After hearing what her parents said, Ma Xiu looked at them with a sneer.
"You guys are really good at plotting. You sold me out the first time, and now you dare to come after me the second time.
I tell you again that there is no money, not even a penny."
At this time, when Ma Xiu's mother heard this, she stood up, opened the door and walked directly out of the yard, sat on the ground, patted the ground and kicked her legs.
When Ma Xiu followed her out, she saw her mother rolling on the ground and yelling at the top of her lungs.
"Someone come quickly, the biological daughter doesn't care about her parents anymore.
Now that he has a good life, he makes his parents unable to afford food and wants to starve them to death.
You have money, but you don't save your own brother, and you let him die."
Ma Xiu's mother's actions quickly attracted everyone's attention.
Tao Jin was playing with her child at home at the time. When she heard the crying, she handed the child to Tao's mother and left.
He said this to Tao's mother before leaving.
"Mom, it sounds like the noise is coming from the other side. Don't you want to go check it out?"
When Tao's mother heard this, she waved her hand and said.
“Let the things next door go on their own.
By the way, when you go out, you are only allowed to watch the fun and not get involved."
After hearing what Tao's mother said, Tao Jin nodded and walked out.
At this time, many people had gathered around Ma Xiu's mother. Seeing so many people, Ma Xiu's mother was naturally happier and continued to perform.
At this time, Ma Xiu was surrounded by so many people and her face turned red with embarrassment.
She didn't expect her mother to be so shameless. After this, how could she stay here in the future?
At this time, more and more people gathered around, and it was Sister Zhou who got the news and rushed over.
Ma Xiu was a little flustered when she saw Sister Zhou. She didn't expect that this incident would alarm Sister Zhou.
She was afraid of leaving a bad impression on Sister Zhou and thus affecting Tao He, so she quickly stepped forward to explain.
"Sister Zhou, this is our family affair. I will take care of it right away."
After hearing this, Sister Zhou patted Ma Xiu's hand with understanding and said to her.
"Don't worry, nothing will happen."
After saying that, he stood in front of Ma Xiu's mother and looked at her and said.
"Auntie, what happened?
Can you tell me if there is anything I can do to help?"
When Ma Xiu's mother heard this, she looked at Sister Zhou and said to her.
"Are you the one in charge here?"
Sister Zhou nodded and said.
“I can’t really say who’s in charge, but everyone just calls me Sister Zhou.
I see you're so sad, why don't you tell me what happened and I'll see if there's anything I can do to help."
Since Sister Zhou said so, Ma Xiu's mother sat on the ground and started complaining.
"I gave birth to an unfilial daughter.
At that time, her father and I went through great pains to find such a good marriage for her.
But I didn't expect that she would live a good life and no longer care about her parents.
His parents and I didn't have enough food to eat or warm clothes to wear at home. What a hard life we lived every day.
As for her, not only does she live a good life, but when something goes wrong at home and someone asks her to lend her some money, she refuses to lend it to them."
At this time, Tao He got the news and rushed over. As soon as he arrived, he saw Ma Xiu's mother. He quickly protected Ma Xiu behind him and said to her mother.
"What are you talking about, old woman? It was you who wanted to sell Ma Xiu and even extorted a large sum of money from me. Don't you remember?"
When Ma Xiu's mother heard this, she stood up from the ground instantly and looked at Tao He flatteringly.
"Oh, son-in-law, you really misunderstood me.
At that time, we also wanted our daughter to suffer with us, so we specifically thought that you were a good person and let our daughter follow you.
At least I can enjoy my life now, but I never thought that the misunderstanding between us would be so deep."
Having said that, he took Tao He's hand and spoke to him.
"I just learned that my daughter gave birth to a child for you. This child was also born after untold hardships.
Our family is really in trouble now. Why don't you be so kind as to help us?
Even if I'm lending you this money, I'll definitely pay it back in the future."
After hearing these words, everyone looked at Tao He.
Originally, Tao Jin was watching the fun from the side and didn't want to get involved in Ma Xiu's family affairs.
However, he didn't expect that his brother would be implicated. Seeing that his brother was a little loose, he was ready to pay the money.
Tao Jin had a bad feeling. If he paid out the money, this family would be completely dependent on his brother in the future.
At this time, Tao Jin quickly stood up, walked to Tao He and spoke to him.
"Brother, you said before that you gave a betrothal gift to my sister-in-law's family. How much did you give?"
Tao Jin did not say as bluntly as Tao He did that Ma Xiu's family wanted to sell their daughter.
Instead, he asked how much the betrothal gift was, after all, Ma Xiu would have to stay in this family compound in the future.
If I continue to say this, it would be like rubbing salt into Ma Xiu's wounds.
Tao He didn't have time to think about it when he heard this.
"What kind of gift?
She directly asked us for 1000 yuan.
This 1000 yuan is all the savings I have accumulated after working for so long, and I even borrowed money from others."
When the 1000 yuan was paid, everyone was shocked.
Although they can be said to have no shortage of food.
But it takes them a long time to save 1000 yuan.
Everyone was shocked to hear that Tao He actually spent 1000 yuan.
Ma Xiu's mother was also a little shocked when she heard the direct mention of 1000 yuan.
"You're talking nonsense. There's no such thing as 1000 yuan. You didn't even give me 1000 yuan."
When Tao Jin saw Ma Xiu's mother's reaction, she nodded and said.
"Brother, how can you talk nonsense?"
Tao He didn't expect that his sister would doubt him and quickly spoke up.
"Little sister, I'm not talking nonsense..."
But before Tao He could finish his words, Tao Jin interrupted him and said to him.
"Brother, you are talking nonsense, how could you possibly spend 1000?
You clearly told me it was 10,000 yuan."
When ten thousand yuan came out, all the onlookers widened their eyes. What does ten thousand yuan mean these days?
Ten thousand dollars is enough to buy you an apartment in the countryside.
Now I hear that it cost ten thousand yuan to marry Ma Xiu. How can I tolerate this?
When Ma Xiu's mother heard this, she stood up and pointed at Tao Jin's nose and cursed.
"You're talking nonsense! When did I spend 1000 yuan? It was clearly yuan."
