There's not much to say.
But Li Sumei couldn't understand it.
Upon hearing his son-in-law's words, Wu Yongliang felt that instead of giving Lü Yazhi money, it would be better to give her some assets, so that his daughter-in-law wouldn't covet them.
"She's my wife after all, how can I let you pay for it?"
“I’ve worked my whole life and I have some savings. Since she wants to do it, I’ll find someone to help her out and get it done.”
Shen Jichuan said, "That's fine too. Your intervention is more effective than mine."
Wu Yongliang chuckled, "You little rascal, you're full of mischief."
"And your second child, just like you, is full of bad ideas at such a young age."
Da Bao had already secretly told Er Bao about making Lao Wu call him "Grandpa," and even privately pleaded for Er Bao, saying that his younger brother didn't do it on purpose.
Shen Jichuan laughed heartily.
The father-in-law and son-in-law had a very pleasant conversation.
Seeing that it was almost time, Wu Yongliang was about to get up and call Lü Yazhi home when he heard voices coming from outside.
Upon closer listening, it was the voice calling for Dad and Aunt Lü.
Children are always very sensitive to their parents' voices. When Wu Suowei heard the sound outside the door, he knew that his parents had come.
He immediately ran outside, shouting:
"Grandpa, my parents are here."
Old Wu and Shen Jichuan got up.
Inside the kitchen, Wen Qiao and her mother were tidying up, with Wen Qiao saying comforting words to her mother.
Upon hearing Wu Suowei's words, Wen Qiao glanced at her mother, Lü Yazhi.
"Mom, stop doing that, let's go out and take a look."
"I heard Xiaowei shouting, it sounds like Brother Jiandong and his wife have arrived."
Lu Yazhi asked in confusion, "What are they doing here?"
After Wen Qiao washed and dried her hands, she walked outside with Lü Yazhi. When they got to the courtyard, they found that Shen Jichuan and Old Wu had already arrived at the door.
Wu Jiandong, Li Sumei, and Wu Xiaoling, Old Wu's youngest daughter, were standing at the entrance.
When Wu Suowei saw his parents arrive, he ran around the yard like a child.
Wu Xiaoling came back at dinner time today. Her father had arranged for her to go to another city, but she later used her connections to transfer back. Although her job is not as good as before, at least she can keep an eye on things at home now.
Knowing that her father was obsessed with Lü Yazhi, Wu Xiaoling was not as foolish as her older sister Wu Xiaoli, who could only shout loudly.
She endured it.
First, she needs to appease her father. If he's happy, the Wu family will give her more things in the future, just because she's obedient.
Besides, Lu Yazhi's daughter has no blood relation to her father at all, so how could she possibly compare to her biological daughter?
When he got home, he found that neither his father nor Lü Yazhi were home.
Li Sumei was feeling depressed at the time.
Without thinking much about it, I told Wu Xiaoling that Lü Yazhi was probably angry because the Wu family wouldn't let her spend their money, so she went back to her daughter's house and has been staying there for several days now.
Wu Jiandong said he would go to the Shen family to say some nice things and bring Aunt Lü back.
Li Sumei did not object.
Wu Xiaoling also came to show her filial piety.
Wu Xiaoling's gaze fell on Shen Jichuan. Before, she had been focused on Lü Yazhi, worried that her father would give all the family property to this woman. She hadn't noticed that the man Wen Qiao married was really formidable.
They say they're all army commanders now.
He doesn't look very old, maybe around thirty-five or thirty-six.
"Dad, aren't you going to introduce me to her? I just came back from out of town, and I really don't know much about this sister's husband."
Old Wu hesitated when he asked this question.
Wen Qiao is indeed younger than Wu Xiaoling.
But Shen Jichuan is much older than Wu Xiaoling...
Calling him brother-in-law doesn't seem quite appropriate.
When Old Wu hesitated, Shen Jichuan said, "You don't need to be curious about me. I am just Wen Qiao's husband. In the Wu family, the only people I have a relationship with are Chief Wu and my mother-in-law."
“You and Wen Qiao aren’t biological sisters, so there’s no need to go over your relationship again.”
Shen Jichuan was wary of the woman in front of him, not because he was worried that she would fall for him, but because he feared that Wu Xiaoling would find out about their family and do something to hurt Wen Qiao.
Shen Jichuan has always been wary and cautious about Wen Qiao's affairs.
Old Wu then said, "Ji Chuan is right. If you're going to call someone, just call him 'brother'."
Calling someone "brother-in-law" is indeed inappropriate.
Moreover, Shen Jichuan doesn't seem like the type of person who would be willing to be someone's brother-in-law.
Wen Qiao's relationship with the two Wu sisters is not good at all, and she definitely doesn't want to have much contact with Wu Xiaoling.
This whole "brother-in-law" thing is a bit off-putting.
Wen Qiao and Lü Yazhi arrived at the entrance.
Shen Jichuan simply turned to look at his wife, his eyes signaling her to rest assured that she didn't need to say anything, he would handle it.
Lü Yazhi then looked at Wu Jiandong and Li Sumei.
"Jiandong, Sumei, what brings you here? It's already dark. Have you had dinner yet? Your dad and Xiaowei just ate at home."
"It just so happens that I made braised pork, your dad's favorite dish, today. Isn't it a really good coincidence that you came here with them?"
When Wu Jiandong heard Lü Yazhi mention braised pork, he swallowed hard.
Their dinner tonight is stir-fried cabbage, rice porridge, and pickled vegetables.
It's possible that the nanny knew she was being dismissed, and given that her cooking skills were indeed poor, the meals she prepared had become increasingly worse lately.
Wu Jiandong ate at the company cafeteria, and when he got home, he still ate stir-fried vegetables. He had no meat in his stomach. When he heard Lü Yazhi say that they had braised pork for dinner, Wu Jiandong was extremely hungry.
It wasn't that Wu Jiandong particularly liked the food; it was mainly because he had been eating Lu Yazhi's cooking for a while and his palate had become quite picky.
Wu Jiandong immediately said, "Aunt Lü, go home. My dad came home from work and didn't see you. He got angry with us, saying that it must be because we didn't respect you enough that you don't live at home."
Lu Yazhi immediately explained nervously, "Jiandong, you can't say that. That's not why I left. I missed my Xiaoqiao. Xiaoqiao has started working, and I was worried that I wouldn't be able to take care of the three children at home, so I came to help."
"Old Wu, how could you scold the child? Su Mei is your daughter-in-law, you can't just scold her like that."
Old Wu said, "I wasn't mean to you, I just asked a few questions. Su Mei, tell me, did I mean to you?"
Li Sumei's lips twitched, but she still smiled, saying with a hint of resentment, "Aunt Lü, Dad didn't scold me. It was indeed my fault; I shouldn't have brought up the distribution of Dad's salary with you."
Lü Yazhi seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
"You can't fight because of me, because of me, I'll feel so bad."
Looking at the gentle Lü Yazhi, Old Wu felt that his wife was really too humble at home.
No, he has to pay for it and let Lü Yazhi take over the small restaurant. Once the business is booming, she can make money, and she'll be able to stand tall and not be afraid of being accused of wasting money.
