Chapter 56 Human Relationships

Aunt Yao realized at this point that this must have been a request made by the future in-laws.

The future daughter-in-law looked very happy when she came to see the furniture that day, but she didn't mention the writing desk at all.

It seems that the in-laws still want to put me in their shoes!

The house has been painted, the furniture has been made, and everything that needed to be bought has been bought. If you regret it now, the loss will be quite significant.

Aunt Yao thought for a moment, "It's just a writing desk..."

It's not that I can't agree to it.

Just as she was about to speak, she saw both Grandma Yao and Yao Shula glance at her.

"Think it over carefully before you speak!" Grandma Yao said slowly.

Aunt Yao was taken aback, then glanced at her three daughters-in-law in the room.

Sure enough, all three daughters-in-law were holding melon seeds, waiting for her to speak!

Aunt Yao then remembered that none of her three daughters-in-law had made any demands when they married into the family…

If they agree so readily, their three daughters-in-law will definitely cause trouble...

Therefore, at this point, it's crucial to treat everyone fairly!

Aunt Yao was glad that she had good eyesight and noticed in time that her mother-in-law was staring at her.

"Qingnian, what do you think?" Aunt Yao asked her youngest son.

“Me? I’ll listen to Mom!” Yao Qingnian immediately declared.

Before Yao's aunt could even speak, Yao Shula couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Yao Shula smiled, and Yao's aunt's eyes immediately lit up.

"Shura, tell me, is there any truth to what your older brother said?"

Yao Shula suppressed a laugh as she looked at Yao Qingnian, who was still chuckling.

"Fourth Brother, tell me about yourself..."

When your aunt asks you to wash the dishes or fold the blankets, why don't you say you'll listen to her?

"Now that such a big thing has happened, you're actually saying you'll listen to your aunt?" Yao Shula asked.

Yao Qingnian's face immediately turned red.

He had no choice; what else could he say but to listen to his mother?

Aunt Yao also realized what was happening.

This youngest son is really cunning!

He used to have his own opinions on even the smallest things, and he wouldn't listen to anyone even when it came to washing dishes or making the bed.

Now!

Haha, such a big decision and you're saying you'll listen to me!

This is just a way to get me to spend my own money!

Aunt Yao glared at Yao Qingnian, then glanced at her three daughters-in-law who were waiting to watch the show.

"How about building another writing desk... that wouldn't be a bad idea!" Aunt Yao suddenly said.

The three daughters-in-law all had an "I knew it" look on their faces, but Yao Qingnian's face was full of joy.

But before Yao Qingnian could even enjoy his happiness for a minute, his aunt spoke up again.

"You'll have to pay for the writing desk yourself. We agreed that the standard would be the same as when your three older brothers got married."

Since these are requirements that weren't agreed upon, then you'll have to pay for them yourself!

What? You don't want to?

That's for getting you a wife!

Since you've come back and told us, you must genuinely believe that this request isn't unreasonable and that we'll agree, right?

"Okay, as long as you think it's not excessive, we have no objection as long as it's your money!" Aunt Yao said immediately.

Yao Qingnian was dumbfounded.

Yao Shula was also a little surprised that her aunt was unusually clear-headed at this moment!

Not bad, not bad. It seems you've been listening to your three daughters-in-law's gossip quite a bit lately.

The three daughters-in-law of the Yao family also breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that my mother-in-law wasn't completely blinded by lard after all.

Seeing the way her three daughters-in-law were looking at her, Aunt Yao finally breathed a sigh of relief!

Having many sons in the family is difficult to manage, and having many daughters-in-law is even more difficult.

You never know, a seemingly insignificant action could cause chaos in your home!

Aunt Yao was somewhat grateful to her mother-in-law and Yao Shula. If it weren't for the glance they gave her just now, she would probably be the subject of gossip from her three daughters-in-law right now...

"Did you hear that? You'll have to pay for another desk yourself. Don't tell me you don't have money. How much do you give your family every month?"

I didn't ask you for the rest.

Also, I'd like to remind you of something.

After you get married, you and your wife will pay the same amount of living expenses as your three older brothers' families.

"One point less..." Aunt Yao tapped Yao Qingnian's head.

Yao Qingnian hung his head.

"Mom, who can I ask to do it? The lumber mill is booked up until last year. Even if I find someone to do it, the time for painting... probably won't be enough for a month."

"How about you help me..."

"You should ask Shura about this. Shura's uncle works at the lumber mill. He was the one who helped you find those furniture pieces in your room."

"Otherwise, do you think they would have given you forty-eight legs for such a cheap price?" Aunt Yao rolled her eyes at Yao Qingnian.

Yao Qingnian immediately looked at Yao Shula.

"Shura..."

“I don’t know if my uncle can take it on. I’ll ask him for you tomorrow,” Yao Shula said immediately.

Yao Qingnian wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Grandma Yao.

"Let Shura ask first."

When the experienced workers at the lumber mill were at the mill, their tasks were all scheduled.

If Uncle Shura takes on your job, he'll definitely have to use his off-get off work hours to do it.

Also, Shura's uncle wouldn't say anything out of respect for Shura and her brother, but these tasks still needed helpers.

We can't let them help us for nothing!

Qingnian, buy two red Double Happiness cigarettes and two packs of pastries for Shura to take with her.

"You want Shura to find someone to help you? Do you want Shura to pay out of her own pocket?" Grandma Yao said in a deep voice.

Yao Shula was in a good mood.

See, there are still some polite people in the Yao family!

"Yes! Besides cigarettes, bring two bottles of alcohol too, for Uncle Shura."

They've already saved us a lot of money, and now we're bothering them to cut in line; we're indebted to them.

"Shura, you should talk to your eldest uncle and tell him that on the wedding day, you should have your fourth brother toast your eldest uncle properly," Aunt Yao immediately added.

Yao Qingnian quickly agreed.

Her daughter-in-law has secretly praised the furniture that Shura's uncle made several times!

...

Thus, the meeting of the Yao family regarding Yao Qingnian's marriage was a complete success.

After seeing Yao Shula and her three siblings off, Yao's eldest aunt immediately ran to Yao's grandmother.

"Mom, we should tell Lao San about Qingnian's wedding!"

According to custom, the third brother is supposed to come and offer gifts and drink wine.

What if he takes Song Yuling and that brat with him...?

"Have your family go and inform the third son that it was my order and we won't stop him from coming."

But if he dares to bring that kidnapper and her son, I'll not only not let him in, I'll break his legs too.

"He's completely disgraced the Yao family," Grandma Yao said angrily.

Aunt Yao immediately agreed.

It's better if she doesn't come; if she did, she'd be really afraid Shura would run to the kitchen to get the cleaver again.

As things stand, Shura, the niece, is much more reliable than Yao Guohua, the brother-in-law…

...

Yao Shula, however, did not take Yao Guohua seriously at all.

She had already decided that she would go to Master Sun tomorrow to talk about the Cao family's courtyard...
