Chapter 55 One Thousand Yuan

At noon, Guan Meiling, who couldn't wait any longer, knocked on the door with her son who was trying desperately to pull her away, "Ruoxi, the sun is about to set, why aren't you awake yet? We've been waiting for you until the flowers are about to wither, you..."

Before she could finish her words, the door suddenly opened and Shi Yanjin appeared in front of her. His handsome features were full of kindness, and he didn't look unhappy at all at being disturbed. His voice was low and deep, very warm and pleasant.

"Sister-in-law, please come in."

Guan Meiling was stunned for a moment, then shyly withdrew her hand. To ease the embarrassment, she lowered her head and said to her son, "Wen Mo, call me uncle."

Shi Wenmo called out obediently, "Uncle, my mother and I are here to see my aunt."

Shi Yanjin smiled and reached out to touch his head, "Wen Mo is so good, your brother is waiting for you inside, go in and play with him."

"Okay." Little Wen Mo walked in, and before leaving, he did not forget to pull his mother in with him.

Guan Meiling immediately breathed a sigh of relief, her son was truly the lucky star sent by God to save her.

To be honest, she was a little afraid of this seemingly gentle brother-in-law. Normally, she dared not breathe when he spoke, and she always felt that he was cunning and could kill her at any moment.

However, when I thought about the fact that a man like this had become henpecked since he married his brother's wife, I couldn't help but smile a schadenfreude on my face.

What Meng Ruoxi saw was Guan Meiling walking towards her with a sly smile on her face. She thought she was coming for her, so she frowned and looked away without leaving a trace. Her voice was filled with indifference and coldness, "Sister-in-law."

Guan Meiling put away the expression on her face and didn't care about her dying voice. She responded happily and walked over. She sat down on the edge of the bed, looked her over, and said with a smile.

"The messenger said you were in premature labor. I almost couldn't breathe and passed out. I was so worried. Fortunately, you and your child are safe. I finally put my mind at ease."

She spoke with sincerity, and at the end, she blinked hard, shedding two tears, but before they could flow out, they dried up in the corners of her eyes.

Meng Ruoxi didn't quite understand why she did this, so she kept smiling and watched the entire performance.

Usually after an actor's performance, they will receive warm applause from the audience. Although she did not applaud, she still expressed her gratitude, "Thank you for your concern, sister-in-law."

Guan Meiling patted her chest and said happily, "Of course, of course. An elder sister-in-law is like a mother, and I am half your mother. If you need any help, just tell me, and I will do my best to help you."

The ten fingers in front of her body subconsciously retracted, Meng Ruoxi smiled expressionlessly, and then quickly disappeared. When she looked up at her, she seemed to be hesitant to speak, and shook her head in an instant, looking lonely, "Forget it, I'm afraid my sister-in-law can't help me."

It's a shame to save face. When Guan Meiling heard the other party say this, she immediately got angry.

Who are you looking down on? This is it!

He held Meng Ruoxi's hand firmly and encouraged her, "Just tell me, I can definitely help you. Even if I can't, you still have your elder brother, he can definitely help you."

Not only did she sell herself out, but Shi Yanchu, who was far away in the city, also could not escape her clutches.

"Really?" Meng Ruoxi looked hopeful and held her hand even tighter.

Seeing that the other party still didn't trust her, Guan Meiling once again promised, patting her chest and saying, "It's more real than gold!"

Just like the snowy mountains melting, a brilliant smile appeared on her cold face. Meng Ruoxi said shyly, "I want to buy a house, but I have no money. Since the sister-in-law sincerely wants to help, then I'll trouble you. It's not much, just one thousand yuan will be enough."

"What!" Guan Meiling was so shocked that she stood up all of a sudden, and immediately pulled her hand out. Her head was rumbling, and she wanted to beat herself to death for saying such nonsense just now, and she also wanted to beat to death Meng Ruoxi who was in front of her and opened her mouth and made things difficult for her.

Meng Ruoxi sighed and said sympathetically, "I know I am asking too much. After all, one thousand yuan is not a small amount. It is normal that my sister-in-law can't help."

Guan Meiling twitched her lips fiercely.

Who is a good person who would let someone help him buy a house?

This is not helping, this is making fun of yourself as a fool!

In a fit of rage, he blurted out, "Who said I can't help? It's just a thousand dollars, I have it!"

Meng Ruoxi showed a surprised expression, "Sister-in-law, you don't have to be so stubborn, I understand you."

While saying this, the contempt in his eyes was undisguisedly irritating Guan Meiling.

As expected, the stubborn Guan Meiling was fooled. Like a cat whose tail was stepped on, her fur stood on end and she looked at her with hatred.

"Who said I was showing off? I've given your eldest brother's money to me to manage. I can't tell you anything else, but I have plenty of money. Just wait, I'll give it to you tomorrow!"

With a sincere smile on her face, Meng Ruoxi thanked sincerely, "Thank you, sister-in-law, you can really say it and do it. I really admire you. I will definitely learn a lot from you in the future."

A soft knife doesn't hurt when cutting flesh, but it hurts a malicious person. Meng Ruoxi deliberately hates Guan Meiling.

Who told her to say that she was half her mother? She was always vindictive and would not tolerate anyone speaking without restraint.

After receiving the compliment, Guan Meiling was not only unhappy, but also felt aggrieved and uncomfortable. She always felt that the other party had calculated against her. However, the other party did not put a knife to her neck and force her to make a promise, so she could only shut up unhappily.

He took out a red envelope from his pocket, put it on the bedside without saying a word, turned around and walked out angrily, completely forgetting about his son who came with him.

When the clever and witty Xiao Wenmo saw his mother's angry back, he immediately put down the toy in his hand, stood up and followed her.

Looking up from a pile of toys, little Wen Jing looked confused, "Dad, why did my aunt and brother leave?"

Having witnessed the whole process, Shi Yanjin couldn't help laughing out loud. His laughter was clean and refreshing, more touching than his usual gentle and shallow smile.

"Your aunt can't afford to play, your brother has to go and comfort her. Our Guaiguai is a sensible and considerate child, he can play by himself, right?"

Little Wen Jing smiled and said, "Dad is right, baby is good, aunt and brother are not good, baby can play by himself"

Meng Ruoxi was in a good mood at the moment. She lifted the quilt, got out of bed and walked around.

Seeing this, little Wen Jing dropped the toy in his hand and ran towards her. He held her big hand with his little hand, raised his little head, and said happily, "Mom, baby wants to go too."

Meng Ruoxi lowered her eyes to look at the two people's hands holding together, and pulled her hand back uncomfortably, "Mom will walk by herself, go and pour her a glass of water, and when Mom gets tired, you can give it to her to drink."

Little Wen Jing was very sad at first because his hand fell empty. But after hearing what his mother said next, his face immediately turned from gloomy to bright, and he answered loudly, "Okay, Mom."

He walked with his short legs to the round table, stopped, climbed onto the chair, picked up the kettle, uncorked it, and prepared to pour water into the cup.

However, the kettle was too big and he had great difficulty holding it. He had to use all his strength to hold it and his little face turned red.

Most of the water poured onto the table, and only a small portion poured into the cup, but he was still very happy, with a happy smile on his face.

As long as I can be with my mother, I will be happy no matter what I do.

Shi Yanjin pushed the wheelchair over, picked up the rag on the table and wiped it, then turned around and smiled at his son who was trying hard to do what his wife had asked him to do, and praised him, "Wen Jing is great. He can take care of his mother at such a young age."

Little Wen Jing lowered his head in embarrassment, "Dad, the baby will be even better in the future, and mom will like the baby even more."

What he wanted to express was that his mother would like him more and not his two younger brothers, but unfortunately, Shi Yanjin didn't hear it.

After walking back and forth for a few times, Meng Ruoxi felt a little tired, so she walked to a chair and sat down. Under Xiao Wenjing's expectant gaze, she reached out to take the water from his hand, drank a few sips meaningfully, and then put it down.

Shi Yanjin wiped the non-existent sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief and said gently, "Go to bed and rest if you are tired."

After looking at him, Meng Ruoxi did not refute, but stood up and went back to the bed to lie down.

The father and son who had been watching her every move followed closely behind her. The three of them lay on the bed to rest together, and from time to time, little Wen Jing's happy laughter could be heard.

Guan Meiling, who had finally come back but was angered by Meng Ruoxi again, was completely ignored by the three of them.
