The older woman turned pale with anger, a surge of fury rising to her head.
She usually goes to work, and her mother-in-law does the grocery shopping at home.
Didn't she know that the department store sold counterfeit goods?
She definitely knew, but she still held onto a sliver of hope.
I bought it on purpose just to save a little money.
Then I think about how I usually give her money for groceries, but the family often eats rotten vegetable leaves.
Then what is there that you don't understand?
The onlookers all understood.
This is a conflict between a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law; outsiders can't really understand it.
Fearing she would be embarrassed, everyone dispersed to buy their own things.
After everyone realized this, they felt very regretful.
How could I just run over there without thinking? What if I ruined the food factory?
She felt as angry as she had been just moments before, and now she felt just as guilty.
The eldest sister bowed directly to Lin Yu and the others and apologized: "I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have come to you without asking any questions."
Lin Yu quickly helped her up: "Don't be like this, it's okay. I know you're worried about the baby's health."
Upon hearing this, the eldest sister felt a pang of pain in her heart, and tears streamed down her face.
Finally, someone understood her heart.
Her child was born prematurely and has always been in poor health; God knows how terrified she was of losing her child.
That child is still drinking formula.
Both parents in their family work, and their combined income is barely enough to support their child.
She could only work overtime to earn more money so that her child could eat better food.
That's why I had to ask my mother-in-law to help with grocery shopping and taking care of the children.
But who knew she would do something like this?
The old woman took their money, but I didn't see her spend it much.
Lin Yu sighed. She didn't blame her older sister; parents always have the same heart.
She is a good mother.
After hearing what the older woman said, Lin Yu was also puzzled. Why was this old lady trying to steal her son and daughter-in-law's money?
If you don't spend money normally, why be so stingy?
A gossipy old lady nearby, who had been listening to their conversation, smiled upon hearing this.
"You guys are still so young, girl. Do you have any uncles, aunts, brothers, or sisters in your family?"
The woman said, "My husband also has a younger brother."
"So, is his life worse than yours?"
The older woman understood: "Yes, he married a woman from the countryside, and they had five children..."
Now she understands, her mother-in-law was skimming money off her and her husband and giving it to her brother-in-law's family, right?
Lin Yu was speechless: "How can it be like this? Aren't they all her sons?"
The old woman smiled and said, "Then you don't understand. It's very difficult for parents to treat their children equally, especially when one is doing well and the other is not."
Although they are all their own children, parents will always have more pity for the weaker one.
The older woman sneered and wiped her tears with the back of her hand: "She's only concerned about herself. Don't even think about using our family's resources to subsidize her family anymore!"
She worked herself to the bone to earn money to support her child, but all the money she earned went to her brother-in-law.
What's the logic behind this?
The older woman knew what she should do, thanked Lin Yu and the old woman, and then left.
One can imagine the uproar she will cause upon her return.
Lin Yu has learned a lot. Back in her family in Haicheng, her adoptive parents disliked both her and her brother equally.
Later, when they arrived at Lianhua Brigade, Wang Zhaodi showed favoritism towards Xiaobao because she preferred boys to girls.
But she didn't know that having given birth to two sons, she could use the money from her eldest son and daughter-in-law to subsidize her younger son.
Absolutely breathtaking.
The old woman was very knowledgeable and said that Lin Yu was just young and would understand more as she experienced more.
......
After the old lady finished shopping, she left. Only then did Lin Yu notice that the middle-aged man who had spoken to her at the door yesterday had been watching the scene from a short distance away.
She found this person a bit strange; he came yesterday and came again today.
And they look quite different from ordinary customers.
So she went over and said, "Hello."
The man smiled at her: "Do you remember me?"
“I remember you came yesterday.”
"Yes, the canned pineapple I bought yesterday was delicious. You guys did a great job."
Judging from his praising tone and the fact that he was dressed in a cadre uniform, Lin Yu had a guess in her mind.
The man didn't hide anything and told her, "You must be Comrade Lin Yu. Hello, my surname is Li."
He was all smiles, but Lin Yu could tell that this person held a high position.
No wonder they promised to come down for an inspection, but we haven't seen them yet.
It turns out they came directly to the store.
I guess they just wanted to catch them off guard.
"Hello, Comrade Li, welcome to visit."
Lin Yu has been so busy with the specialty store that he completely forgot about the inspection.
But she's not afraid of being monitored; if you're upright, you have nothing to fear.
"Let me show you."
She led the man around the store, introducing the products from their food factory.
Then he took him to the backyard to see the goods in the warehouse.
The warehouse is full of canned pineapples, but according to current estimates, they should be sold out within the month.
Comrade Li asked, "How did you come up with the idea of a 'buy one get one half price' deal?"
Lin Yu scratched his head, a little embarrassed, and said, "It's for the people. Selling the second bottle doesn't make money, but it's a way to let everyone taste the canned food."
Even though I knew in my heart that she was making excuses, it just sounded so nice.
Comrade Li couldn't say anything bad about it either.
I thought to myself that this little girl, at such a young age, already knew the art of speaking, which was quite rare.
