Su Wenyue sneered, "Mother-in-law really has a way with words," she said. "I really don't understand what Mother-in-law is referring to when she talks about the family business that my husband has earned. When we divided the family assets, everything that our Fourth house received was documented clearly. Apart from those two old houses, we hardly got much land, and all in all, it wouldn't amount to more than five taels of silver. Surely Mother-in-law doesn't think that my husband has made a fortune from being an official for a few months?"
Su Wenyue's words were laden with undisguised irony. As for the silver Han Yu had given her, Su Wenyue knew for sure that he hadn't told the Old lady about it, and naturally she wouldn't mention it either—to prevent the Old lady from thinking she had some leverage and making a fuss about it.
