Chapter 157 Calculation

"Mom," Yang Xiumin looked at Sun Erni in surprise. She didn't expect her mother to mention work, but wasn't this bought for her? Thinking of this, she asked.

Su Erni glanced at her and said, "It's true that I bought it for you, but didn't we agree that the money for the job would be deducted from your monthly salary? Didn't you agree to that? But think about it, how much did you give in total? It was okay in the first few months, you gave me fifteen cents every month, but in the last few months, you basically gave me nothing, you were always asking for money here and there. Do you think I asked you for money?"

Yang Xiumin blushed after hearing her mother's words. She stammered, "Mom, I'm making new clothes. I promise you, I will give you 15 yuan next month, okay?"

"No." Sun Erni refused. "You said you want to marry Zhang Cheng, do you think you will still pay me after marriage? It's impossible if you think about it. So if you really want to stick with this path, then keep the job. Your sister-in-law is still a temporary worker, so give her the job."

Su Qiuyan, who was hiding outside the door and eavesdropping, frowned. Her mother-in-law was always thinking about her eldest sister-in-law, not mentioning that she didn't have a job either. Why couldn't she be given the sister-in-law's job?

Inside the house, Yang Xiumin gritted her teeth and looked up at her father, "Dad, do you think so too?"

Yang Fugui nodded and replied, "I always listen to your mother. Didn't you say that I would listen to your mother all my life? It just so happens that I will listen to your mother this time too."

Hearing what her father said, Yang Xiumin immediately lost her temper. She still looked at her mother and said, "Mom, I can make a deal with you. I will definitely hand over my salary to you..."

"Okay, stop talking. I don't believe you. Either you listen to us and separate from Zhang Cheng, or you keep your job."

After Sun Erni finished speaking, she saw that her little daughter looked unhappy, so she added, "Actually, this is fine. Didn't you always say that Zhang Cheng just likes you as a person and doesn't want anything else? Now it's fine. I don't want any betrothal gifts or dowry. Ask Zhang Cheng if he is still willing to marry you?"

"Zhang Cheng will definitely be willing. He doesn't want anything from me." Yang Xiumin said impatiently. The person introduced to him by Zhang Cheng's aunt could give him a formal job, but he refused for his own sake. Doesn't this just show that Zhang Cheng is not greedy for anything?

Sun Erni waved her hand indifferently, "You don't have to tell me, just talk to Zhang Cheng. If he is willing, then you can immediately transfer the job to your sister-in-law and marry him alone!"

Seeing her mother's indifferent expression, Yang Xiumin gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, I'll talk to Zhang Cheng tomorrow."

When Su Qiuyan, who was outside the door, heard this, she knew that the conversation inside was about to end. She quietly hid back in her room, but the more she thought about it, the more upset she felt, and her eyes turned red with anger.

"What's wrong with you? You went out to get a glass of water and took so long. What have you been doing now?" Yang Jinwei couldn't help but ask as he looked at his wife who looked very angry.

Seeing her husband asking, Su Qiuyan was not afraid of being accused of eavesdropping again, and said directly: "Jinwei, don't accuse me of eavesdropping. Just now, my parents and Xiumin said in the room that if Xiumin insisted on marrying that Zhang Cheng, she would have to leave her job behind..."

"Isn't this normal? Xiumin's job costs the family so much money, and she hasn't even been working for long. How could we let her get married with this money?" Yang Jinwei felt that his parents were very clear about this. This is not just one or two hundred dollars, but thousands!

"But mom asked Xiumin to give the job to my sister-in-law," Su Qiuyan growled in a low voice, "Why? My sister-in-law already has a job, why doesn't mom think about me?"

"Why didn't mom think of you? It's your own fault. Besides, can sister-in-law do two jobs by herself? Isn't that temporary worker still there? Even if Xiumin's job is given to sister-in-law, doesn't she have to pay back the money she earned?" Yang Jinwei was still relatively rational. With his mother's temper, how could he give the job to sister-in-law for nothing?

"But..." Su Qiuyan was still unwilling, "But why not let Xiumin give me the job? I also give her money!" Although the family doesn't have so much money now, can't it be deducted from the salary? She also wants a formal job!

"Hey, isn't it too early for you to say that? Mom was just trying to scare Xiumin. How could she really marry Zhang Cheng? You, don't worry about it. Aren't Lili and Jingjing enough for you to be busy?"

"Oh, no, I also want to make money for my family!"

"No need for you, it's good enough for you to take good care of the child..."

Yang Xiumin naturally didn't know what Su Qiuyan was thinking about. The next day after work, she couldn't wait to find Zhang Cheng to discuss it.

"Acheng, my parents have agreed that we can be together. We can have the wedding banquet first and then get the marriage certificate when I reach the age." Yang Xiumin said to Zhang Cheng happily.

Zhang Cheng showed a satisfied look when he heard her words, and said with a smile: "Xiu Min, I told you that you can do it, then let's pick a good day to hold the wedding banquet! By the way, did mom say how much dowry you want? Although I don't have much money saved, for Xiu Min, I am willing to borrow some more money from my friends. I will definitely let you have what others have."

Yang Xiumin burst into tears after hearing what Zhang Cheng said, and quickly explained: "Ah Cheng, my mother said that she doesn't want a betrothal gift, but she won't prepare a dowry for me either."

"Ah, isn't this bad?" Zhang Cheng's expression changed slightly, and he said with some embarrassment.

Yang Xiumin took Zhang Cheng's hand and explained, "Acheng, it's okay. As long as the two of us can live a good life, it's more important than anything else. But my mother has another request..." Yang Xiumin glanced at Zhang Cheng deliberately when she said this.

"Oh, aunt, do you have any other requests? I will definitely satisfy them if I can." Zhang Cheng looked confident.

"My mother told me to keep my job at home..." Yang Xiumin had just finished speaking when she saw Zhang Cheng's face suddenly change.

He pushed away the hand that Yang Xiumin was holding and said angrily, "Xiumin, Auntie is on guard against me!"

Seeing that Zhang Cheng was angry, Yang Xiumin quickly pulled up his sleeves and explained, "Ah Cheng, that's not the case. Listen to me. You know, my family spent a lot of money to buy me this job, and I didn't pay much back, so..."

"Then we can pay it back after we get married!" Zhang Cheng thought that we could get married first, and then he could find all kinds of excuses not to pay it back, such as pregnancy, childbirth, and raising children. Every excuse would be useful.

"I also said this to my mother, but she didn't want to agree. I thought, forget it. Don't worry, I will definitely help you take care of the household after we get married." Yang Xiumin was a little distressed and a little happy. She was distressed because she would have no job in the future, but she was happy because she would be able to be with Zhang Cheng soon.
