Chapter 60: Using both kindness and force to capture Yuxia

Yun Tangyin's fingertips gently brushed the patterns on the enamel bracelet. When she looked up, her smile faded a little: "Sister-in-law, do you know what Mom cherishes most?"

How could Yuxia not know!

Song Yushuang has been particular about her jewelry all her life, so just a few pieces of her jewelry would be enough to make a scene.

The pearl necklace in her hand fell to the table with a clang, and her voice trembled: "I really didn't mean to do that! My sister married in the neighboring county, and her in-laws always said that we city people are stingy, so I was anxious to borrow the jewelry to save face. I thought I would return it last month, but who knew her in-laws wanted to add to the dowry, and I forgot about it after the delay..."

"Forgot?" Yun Tangyin picked up the ruby ​​ring and turned it in the light. "This ring is worth a lot of money, right? Why did you hide it until now?"

She paused, looking at Yu Xia's pale face. "If your second sister-in-law had seen you just now, do you think she would have told Mom that you wanted to embezzle Mom's jewelry?"

Yu Xia's face froze. "Yinyin, you have to help me! I'll take it back to Mom right now and just say I'm helping her clean and maintain it, okay?"

She said this just to give Yun Tangyin an advantage and show her position.

Now it depends on what Yun Tangyin does.

If she agrees, then they will be of one mind from now on.

If she didn't agree, Yuxia could actually handle it herself, but she would just have to wait and see...

After all, this matter can be big or small.

"It's easy to send her back, but it's hard to get rid of the knot in my heart."

Yun Tangyin pushed the jewelry back to her and said, "How about this? First, take the pearl necklace to the silversmith and say the beads are loose and need to be reinforced. Then I'll go with you to see Mom and tell her that you're worried about the jewelry getting damp during the rainy season, so you found a dry place to keep it."

Hearing Yun Tangyin say this, Yu Xia breathed a sigh of relief.

Yun Tangyin looked at Yuxia's reaction and smiled as well: "Sister-in-law, what do you say?"

Yu Xia held Yun Tangyin's hand and nodded. "I'll do whatever you say! Master Zhang from the silversmith shop has great craftsmanship. I'll go right away!"

"What's the hurry?" Yun Tangyin held her hand and said, "There's something else we need to talk about. I was able to keep the job posting a secret for you because I think my sister-in-law is a good person, but from now on..."

She pointed to the jewelry on the table and said, "If this kind of cross-border thing happens again, I won't help you anymore."

Yu Xia was stunned. It was really Yun Tangyin who helped hide the job notice, but how did she do it?

Fu Yuanzheng came in with water and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, we will take care of the jewelry matter right away. From now on, I will never make decisions on my own about family matters again."

Yun Tangyin took the water cup and circled the rim with her fingertips: "Brother is a sensible person. Actually, it's a good thing that sister-in-law is quick-witted, but she has to use her mind in the right place. Hiding it will only lead to trouble, right?"

Yu Xia curled her lips and said, "I'm being petty. From now on, whether it's hiring or anything else, I'll definitely discuss it with you first and listen to you."

"Just stick to your bottom line." Yun Tangyin stood up. "Sister-in-law, put the jewelry away. I'll accompany you to the silversmith shop later. Just say I want to make a pair of silver earrings for Mom and I'll accompany you on the way."

Yu Xia's eyes lit up: "Really? I'll wrap it up right away!"

As they reached the gate, they saw Jiang Jianhua squatting by the millstone, picking vegetables. Seeing the cloth bags in their hands, he immediately stood up and asked, "What are you holding?"

"Silver for Mom's earrings." Yun Tangyin shook the oil-paper bag in her hand: "My sister-in-law said that Zhang the silversmith has good craftsmanship. Come with me to take a look."

Jiang Jianhua's eyes lingered on the cloth bag for a long time before he lowered his head in frustration. "Zhang the Silversmith? Your charges are quite high, right? Why not go to the supply and marketing cooperative and buy something ready-made?"

She still wants to rub it!

Yu Xia simply took Yun Tangyin's arm, and for the first time didn't respond, and walked out briskly.

After walking a long way, she finally breathed a sigh of relief: "My heart was in my throat just now."

"Now you know what it feels like to hide something?" Yun Tangyin glanced at her with a smile: "No matter what you hide in the future, think about whether it can withstand interrogation first."

Yu Xia nodded repeatedly: "I won't hide it anymore! By the way, Yinyin, what if Xu Runli comes looking for a job?"

"Let her apply for the job herself." Yun Tangyin continued walking. "The department store's job posting is right at the main entrance. If she's really capable, she can apply. If she's not, we can't let the Fu family support outsiders."

Yuxia nodded.

When she arrived at the silversmith shop, Yun Tangyinzhen asked the master to make a pair of plain silver earrings for her, and also asked the master to add two beads to her pearl necklace.

Yu Xia looked at her straightforward manner when she paid, and her heart became clearer: This Yun Tangyin is not a person who cares about small amounts of money, but she will never be vague to anyone who wants to take advantage of the Fu family.

On the way back, Yu Xia suddenly said, "Yinyin, I used to worry that we would be wronged after you took over the family. Now I know that you are more fair than anyone else. From now on, if there is anything for the Fu family, just give me your orders."

Yun Tangyin handed her the silver earrings: "Take this pair of earrings first. When you give the jewelry to Mom, tell her that you made them especially for her."

This is equivalent to doing her a favor for free.

Yu Xia was stunned: "How can this be possible?"

"Why not?" Yun Tangyin smiled. "You've worked hard to keep Mom's jewelry, so giving her a pair of earrings as a thank you gift is only natural. We're both daughters-in-law of the Fu family, and we should be helping each other. Constantly quarreling only makes us a laughing stock."

At this point, Yun Tangyin paused, her tone sincere: "Besides, before I married in, Ah Cheng was also taken care of by big brother, right?"

Yu Xia clutched her earrings and nodded vigorously: "You're right! If Jiang Jianhua causes trouble again in the future, I'll help you!"

Yun Tangyin smiled.

Use both kindness and force to capture Yuxia.

As soon as the two entered the courtyard, they saw Song Yushuang standing under the grape trellis. Seeing the jewelry boxes in their hands, her eyebrows curved: "What is this...? Where have you two been?"

Yuxia quickly handed over the necklace: "Mom, this is your necklace. I asked a silversmith to fix the beads, and Yinyin also helped me make earrings for you!"

Song Yushuang took the necklace, touched the repaired beads with her fingertips, and suddenly smiled: "Child, if you had told me to keep it earlier, I wouldn't have to worry about whether I lost it."

Then, Song Yushuang looked at Yun Tangyin again and smiled meaningfully: "You still have a way, you are really a smart child."

Yun Tangyin smiled but said nothing.

It seems that this move was right. As long as Yuxia abides by the rules in the future, she will naturally have a foothold in the Fu family.

And Yun Tangyin, the new housekeeper, has established her authority.

As for Jiang Jianhua and Fu Yuanshan...

As long as these two people pay off all the debts, Yun Tangyin will have plenty of ways to make them get out.

During dinner, Jiang Jianhua looked at Yu Xia diligently picking up food for Song Yushuang, curled his lips and wanted to say something, but was glared at by Fu Yuanshan, and shut up in dismay.

Fu Yuanshan looked at Yun Tangyin's elegant and calm eating posture, with undercurrents surging in his eyes. The pair of eyes that made many lesbians blush and their hearts beat fast drooped. He seemed to be eating honestly, but in fact he was stealing glances at Yun Tangyin from time to time.

How great would it be if this was my wife?

Isn’t he a hundred times better than that idiot Jiang Jianhua!

Fu Yucheng obviously also noticed Fu Yuanshan's little movements of stealing glances at Yun Tangyin from time to time.
