Lin Qiyue took the bowls to the sink, filled a basin with water, and washed them one by one.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were in the kitchen, and apart from the sounds of their work, there was no other noise.

Lin Qiyue didn't initiate conversation either, which was the original owner's personality. And she, who had taken the place of the original owner, had never liked chatting with people.

When Lan Yuchu returned from outside, she saw Lin Qiyue helping with the work.

He immediately went to the kitchen, took over the work from Lin Qiyue, and whispered, "I'll do the washing, you rest for a bit."

Lin Qiyue didn't argue with him, and took a cloth to wipe the dining table.

After Lin Qiyue entered the living room, Qian Xiuying looked at her son and said, "Are you afraid I'll bully your wife?"

"Mom, you've misunderstood. July was just discharged from the hospital after falling into the water today. Don't make her do such heavy work!"

Qian Xiuying couldn't help but ask sarcastically, "So she still has the energy to fight with others? It seems she only dares to be so bold because you're backing her up?"

"Mom, you know she's being bullied, why aren't you helping her?" Lan Yuchu realized that her mother knew she was having a hard time.

Qian Xiuying frowned and explained in a low voice, "If it were an outsider who bullied me, I could say something! But it's not appropriate for me to say anything about things between sisters-in-law."

Lan Yuchu was about to speak, but in the end, she remained silent.

"Dinner's ready!"

After serving the dishes, Lan Yuchu said, "Dad and my older brother both said they have to work overtime and might not be back today. It'll just be us eating."

Lan Yuchu made chicken soup, bought beef and pork belly, as well as some eggs and a few green vegetables.

When Lin Qiyue sat down, there was a bowl of white rice and a bowl of soup in front of her, and the soup contained a lot of meat.

Lan Yusui could tell that this was his brother's favoritism.

Lin Qiyue thought to herself in amazement, "I'm not a pig, this bowl of rice is probably a third of that pot of rice!"

Lan Yuchu then added, "After you finish eating, you and your sister can go for a run with me later. You can start with brisk walking on the first day and gradually get used to running."

"What?"

Lin Qiyue and Lan Yusui simultaneously exclaimed in surprise.

"..."

"..."

Two people with black lines on their heads?

"So, it's not okay?"

Lin Qiyue and Lan Yusui said in unison, "No!"

"No, we have to go."

Lan Yuchu didn't give the two of them a chance.

Lin Qiyue was speechless. Sure enough, there's no benefit to eating other people's food!

Qian Xiuying couldn't help but smile; her son looked exactly like his father back then!

Shen Qingmiao carried the child out of the room. Lan Gan was too young and kept crying.

In addition, Shen Qingmiao was pregnant, so Qian Xiuying held her eldest grandson and urged Shen Qingmiao to eat.

Lin Qiyue was completely stuffed after the meal; she couldn't eat any more after finishing the soup.

Lan Yusui ordered half a bowl of rice. She had barely managed to swallow half a bowl of rice, but Lan Yuchu also served her some vegetables.

"This guy, is he doing this on purpose, trying to stuff me to death?" He couldn't help but complain while eating.

Shen Qingmiao finished eating first, and Lan Yuchu glanced at her, seeing that the timing was just right.

“Sister-in-law, return all the money I send back to July every month. Also, she should give you her salary every month, right? Return that to her too. This is our joint property, so you don’t need to worry about it.”

Lan Yuchu didn't need to guess; that silly woman Lin Qiyue must have given all her money to Shen Qingmiao.

Shen Qingmiao did not expect that Lan Yuchu would ask to take it back.

"What money?" Qian Xiuying immediately became alert, looking at her son and then at Shen Qingmiao.

Lan Yusui immediately said, "Mom, you don't know, my sister-in-law asked my second sister-in-law to give her the money my second brother sends back every month, as well as my second sister-in-law's monthly salary, to save. She must be taking that money back to support her family."

Upon hearing this, Qian Xiuying's face immediately turned extremely ugly.

Looking at Lin Qiyue, he began to question Shen Qingmiao: "Why are you meddling in other people's money? How much did you take?"

Qian Xiuying realized that Lin Qiyue was so thin and frail, her clothes were all yellowed and patched up, and she only had a few pieces of clothing.

Normally, Shen Qingmiao doesn't work, and with Lan Chuhe's meager salary of a few dozen yuan, she lives a very comfortable life, buying bicycles and watches.

"Mom, you've misunderstood. I'm just helping out with the money. It's not much, just a few hundred yuan. I'll give it back to my brother and sister-in-law later."

Shen Qingmiao immediately offered an explanation.

Lan Yuchu wasn't stupid; he had been sending money for three years, how could he only have a few hundred yuan?

"July, how much do you think it will be in total?"

Upon hearing this question, Lin Qiyue deliberately paused for a moment, looking at Shen Qingmiao and her mother-in-law.

"Tell me the truth?" Lan Yuchu demanded that Lin Qiyue tell the truth directly.

Qian Xiuying felt that the amount of money was beyond her expectations.

Lan Yusui muttered, "My sister-in-law never has more than ten yuan in her pocket, so I must have given her all my money."

"Shut up!" Qian Xiuying told her daughter to shut up immediately.

Looking at Lin Qiyue, I took a deep breath and asked, "Qiyue, tell Mom, if you can't figure it out, tell me and Mom will help you."

Lin Qiyue placed the bowl on the table, her eyes darting around slightly. After hesitating for a moment, she said, "I give my sister-in-law thirty yuan every month, keep ten jin of grain coupons, and give her everything. Yu Chu sends fifty yuan every month, which I also save for her!"

"So, you started saving money for her from your first month at work, and you didn't spend a single penny that Yu Chu sent back?"

Qian Xiuying asked hesitantly.

Lin Qiyue nodded silently.

With elders around, she couldn't stand out too much, and since someone was making the decision, she was naturally happy to accept it.
