"Jinchu doesn't have a job, so where does he get the money?" Shen Hongmei thought about how hard Xiao Jinchu worked, so she couldn't spend his money. As a mother-in-law, it was enough for her to know her son-in-law's intentions.
"Jinchu has a job, right? He gives me a subsidy every year." Seeing that his mother was unwilling to spend money here or there, Yan Shuhua finally said, "Mom, don't you want to see Dad? Then you must dress better. You don't know how beautifully Yan Qingxue's mother dresses. This is a matter of face!"
"Liu Cuiman is the mayor's wife." Shen Hongmei felt deep down that she was inferior to Liu Cuiman. She was the mayor's wife, so what was she?
"Then you are the leader's mother-in-law!" Yan Shuhua gave a thumbs up when he said this.
"Shuhua, you have a very nice mouth." Originally Shen Hongmei didn't want to listen, but now, the more she talked, the more she felt that Yan Shuhua was right. Later she agreed, but still insisted on buying only two sets.
"Mom, the臊子面 in the capital is especially delicious. Let's go eat it together!" After buying the clothes, Yan Shuhua pulled her to eat臊子面 with her.
Shen Hongmei's favorite dish is臊子面. It looks red when sprinkled with a layer of oil, which whets her appetite. Seeing her daughter enjoying the meal, Shen Hongmei was very excited.
Yan Shuhua and Shen Hongmei were about to go back after dinner, but they saw Yan Zhenhua's car at the door of Xiao's house.
"He's actually here." Yan Shuhua thought that Yan Zhenhua was really quick.
"Hongmei...ah." Yan Zhenhua couldn't help feeling a little awkward and embarrassed when he saw Shen Hongmei again. "I heard that you came to the capital, so I wanted to meet you."
It would be a lie for Shen Hongmei to say she wasn't excited when she saw Yan Zhenhua, because in her heart, Yan Zhenhua was her husband, the only husband in her life. Even though he had done some bad things to her, in her heart she had already regarded him as her real man.
When Yan Zhenhua saw the clothes Shen Hongmei was wearing and her increasingly fair skin, he was really shocked. How could this still be the Shen Hongmei who looked like a country bumpkin? She had completely changed.
Yan Zhenhua always looked at Liu Cuiman, and he would get tired of her sooner or later. Now that he saw Shen Hongmei, his previously dead heart seemed to start beating again.
"Hongmei, I have something...I want to talk to you about." Yan Zhenhua immediately opened the car door for her attentively, "Let's go eat and talk at the same time."
Shen Hongmei didn't go, thinking that she didn't want to cause trouble, and Yan Shuhua had just said that he didn't want to have anything to do with him anymore.
"Mom, just go." Yan Shuhua secretly pulled her aside and said, "He will definitely talk about Yan Qingxue. When the time comes, you should be tougher and then do him a favor. Anyway, we have already agreed to let her go, but don't let him know about this process."
Shen Hongmei understood what Yan Shuhua said and did as he said.
Yan Shuhua didn't want to go. One reason was that he didn't want to be a third wheel, and another reason was that he wanted his mother to look good, so he just watched them leave.
The room that the Xiao family prepared for Shen Hongmei was particularly nice and specially decorated. It was obvious that Bai Zhishu had put a lot of effort into it.
If you want to know whether a person is good to you, you have to see whether she is good to your family. Bai Zhishu can treat Shen Hongmei as his own family, which means he also treats her as his own daughter.
In the evening, Shen Hongmei came back with a lot of bags. Yan Shuhua was curious when he saw her: "Mom, why did you buy so many things?"
Shen Hongmei held those things and said happily: "These are all bought for me by your father."
"Mom, aren't you reluctant to spend money?" Yan Shuhua covered her mouth and laughed. Shen Hongmei looked at her talkative daughter and said, "That's your dad. I must spend his money, otherwise it will be spent on others!"
Yan Shuhua quickly took out her things and looked at them. They were all brand-name clothes, watches, and some cosmetics, which cost hundreds of dollars. He didn't expect Yan Zhenhua to be so willing to spend money, so Yan Shuhua probably guessed that she must have used the method he taught her.
"You are right. Your father came to beg me to let Yan Qingxue go. I kept saying no at first, but he kept begging me. Later I agreed, and he bought me so many things as a thank you."
"I knew it."
Although Shen Hongmei got his things through this method, after all, these were bought by her husband, so she must be happy, and she was smiling all night.
"This time we really kill two birds with one stone!" Shen Hongmei was so excited. "When your father heard me say that I would do some ideological work on you and that I would definitely release Yan Qingxue, he was so happy."
"Mom, as long as you are happy."
Shen Hongmei carefully took out a watch from her bag at this time: "Shuhua, take a look at this watch. Is it a little too shabby for me to give it to your mother-in-law?"
"No." Yan Shuhua shook his head and said, "This watch is very nice, he will definitely like it. As long as you have the heart, anything is possible."
“I was afraid she wouldn’t like it.”
"No, no, I must like it!"
…
At the same time, Xiao Jinchu arrived at the Capital Hotel as scheduled to meet Dai Zhiwei.
Because Dai Zhiwei had always done business with Xiao Yanmin, he was definitely not happy about suddenly having to do business with Xiao Jinchu this time, but as a businessman, he always hoped to make more money. Since he hadn't signed the contract yet, wasn't it normal for him to meet with anyone? When they met, he would say some flattering words: "I've heard that Leader Xiao is a rare talent, and today I see that he is indeed a rare talent."
"Boss Dai, seeing is believing." Xiao Jinchu pulled out a chair and generously let him sit down. Dai Zhiwei sat down and crossed his legs, then took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it with a click.
"Your wife and I agreed to meet in three days. Now two days have passed, and there is less than one day left. Can she give me a surprise?"
"Boss Dai is also a smart man. I know you have been doing business with Xiao Yanmin for a long time. I'm sure you would not be willing if I suddenly want to do business with you." In order to express his sincerity, Xiao Jinchu took the initiative to pour him wine.
After listening to this, Dai Zhiwei suddenly laughed out loud: "Since you know I don't want to come out, you are still able to invite me out. It seems that you are really confident."
"I've heard that Boss Dai is a chivalrous man. Even if we don't make the deal, we can still be friends."
"Haha..." Dai Zhiwei turned the gold ring on his hand, "But I've already made an agreement with her. If you don't make me change my mind within three days, I will sign a contract with Xiao Yanmin right away."
"Boss Dai, you can take a look at the medicinal herbs I brought today." Xiao Jinchu sincerely took out the medicinal herbs in his hand and showed them to him.
