“Hai Tong.”
Hai Zhiming and Hai Zhiwen followed their grandfather in.
Everyone else stayed outside.
“Is this your man?”
Old Man Hai sized up War Yin for a while, thinking that Hai Tong’s husband was better than Hai Ling’s husband.
At the same time, he was discontented that neither of his two granddaughters had given them bride money when they married, so he had raised them to follow someone else for nothing.
If San’er knew, he would die of anger.
The bride price should have been given to their grandparents, but the two Hai Ling sisters, according to their in-laws, did not give them a single penny of the bride price.
“It’s your granddaughter-in-law, how’s that? Handsome, right?”
Hai Tong walked to the side of Zhangyin, one hand on Zhangyin’s shoulder, deliberately asked the grandfather, “We are a good match as a couple, right?”
Old man Hai: “”
He asked the old lady again, “You are?”
“The in-laws.”
So it was the man’s family.
Old man Hai took his water pipe, took out his tobacco, lit it and smoked two puffs of water pipe before saying, “Hai Tong didn’t tell us about such a big thing as marrying someone, we didn’t even know about the existence of the in-laws, and today is the first time we meet.”
“I heard that Haitong hasn’t had a wedding yet, I wonder how much money the in-laws are going to give to our Haitong? The wedding house and wedding car and all that, you’re all ready for it, right?”
“Although Hai Tong’s parents are no longer here, we are still here as grandparents, we had a bad time in the past, but it doesn’t erase the fact that I am her grandfather, the bride price you give Hai Tong should be sent to us.”
If the old lady had been an ordinary old lady from a wealthy family, she would have walked away with a black face when she heard old man Hai mention the bride price at the first meeting.
Instead, her old man smiled and said, “In-laws grandpa, this bride price, we naturally can’t do without it, but it’s for Tong Tong, as for how Tong Tong wants to arrange her bride price, that’s her business, we won’t ask about it.”
Meaning, if the Hai family wanted the War family to send the bride price over, they had to get Hai Tong’s consent.
The Hai family had lost several battles with Hai Tong, and if they wanted to steal Hai Tong’s bride price, they would have to think about whether they had the ability to do so.
Old man Hai: “”
“Hai Tong, your sister wants a divorce?”
Knowing that he wouldn’t be able to get the bride price from Hai Tong, Old Man Hai resentfully changed the subject, which was one of the main reasons why they came today.
“Grandpa is really well-informed.”
Hai Tong sarcastically said, guessing that it was probably the Zhou family’s side that wanted to backtrack and then approached her old family as lobbyists.
“Hai Ling is in that state now, who would want her after a divorce? She has a baby, what’s the point of divorce? Her man has a successful career and is entertaining every day, so if he walks by the river, he’ll just get his shoes wet. As long as he knows how to go home, he can just turn a blind eye.”
“Grandpa knows what her man has done to her, and he’s also angry, so he’s bringing your uncles and brothers over to back up your sister and give her man a lecture and, if necessary, a beating, so he’ll be honest and live a good life with your sister in the future.”
“Hai Tong, your sister listens to you the most now, listen to your grandfather’s advice, properly persuade your sister not to get a divorce, they say it is better to tear down a temple than to destroy a marriage, you are your sister’s own sister, your sister wants to get a divorce and you don’t know how to persuade.”
“Your sister’s man dares to treat her with domestic violence, but he also bullies her because she doesn’t have her mother’s family behind her. Now we, her mother’s family, are here to back her up, to ensure that her man won’t dare to bully her again.”
Old man Hai said and glanced at Zhan Yin twice more and said to Hai Tong, “Hai Tong, no matter what we did to you two sisters in the past, we are still relatives, you girls married, if your maiden family has no one to back you up, you will have to be bullied to death.”
“Let’s be merciful, stop targeting your cousins, so they can continue their business and classes.”
Old man Hai was both speaking for the Zhou family and pleading on behalf of his own children and grandchildren.
