Chapter 49: Chapter 49 Thinking Through_1

Lady Tang curled her lip and said, "If you don't want it, forget it. No one's holding a knife to your throats, and yet such temerity. If it weren't for knowing how desperately poor you are, with hardly a meal to your name and debts you can't repay, I wouldn't bother with this annoyance. You think I don't know? Mother-in-law often secretly gives you far too much money, sometimes even bringing over some eggs, which includes our second branch's tribute. Being so stubborn, why then accept this money and eggs? When your Manjiang got married, we gave eighty copper coins as a gift, yet when my Manhe married at the start of the year, you only gave twenty. Who else takes advantage of relatives like this? Jinwa not only begs for food everywhere but also ate an egg from our home. Hmph, ungrateful creatures always come back to bite the hand that feeds them. How preposterous!"
