As soon as she arrived at the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative, she saw Accountant Wang doing accounts behind the counter. When she saw Yun Tangyin, she smiled and waved: "The new daughter-in-law of the Fu family is here? The floral fabrics I mentioned last time have just been put out, on the shelf at the very back."
Just as Yun Tangyin was about to thank him, Jiang Jianhua rushed inside first, saying, "I'll go take a look! I promise I'll pick out the one that makes Mom look the youngest!"
Yu Xia pouted behind her and leaned closer to Yun Tangyin: "What does she know about choosing fabric? Last time she made a dress, she chose a piece of red fabric that would fade, and it turned pink after one wash."
As Yun Tangyin was smiling, Accountant Wang suddenly poked his head out and said, "By the way, someone sent something over yesterday and left it here with me. He said his surname is Jiang and he's going to visit relatives at the Fu family. Is he a relative of yours?"
Jiang Jianhua stopped abruptly, the floral cloth in his hand falling to the ground with a thud: "Is his name Jiang Zhicheng?"
"That seems to be the name," Accountant Wang nodded. "He also said his wife is coming along and asked me to keep an eye out for vacant rooms, saying she wants to stay nearby for a few days."
Jiang Jianhua's eyes lit up instantly, and he picked up the floral fabric and stuffed it into Yun Tangyin's hands: "Look at my memory! Zhicheng must be afraid that our house is too crowded, so he wants to stay outside! No, I have to go pick them up! They didn't even tell me in advance when they arrived!"
"What's the rush?" Yun Tangyin asked, clutching the piece of floral fabric. "He didn't specify when it would arrive when he sent it?"
"They said they'd arrive at the train station early the day after tomorrow."
Accountant Wang fiddled with the abacus without even looking up: "He said his wife is also a pampered young lady from a wealthy family, and he told me to keep an eye out for a house."
At this point, Accountant Wang finally laughed out loud: "By the way, I heard they're related to the Yun family."
Yu Xia suddenly exclaimed, "The Yun family? The capitalist Yun family?"
Yun Tangyin's hands clenched tightly, wrinkling the edges of the floral fabric.
Could it be Xu Runli?
How come she's like a cockroach, impossible to kill?
Jiang Jianhua didn't notice her odd behavior and was still excitedly counting his money: "I'll go buy some new cloth tomorrow and make a jacket for my sister-in-law!"
"No need for all that trouble." Yun Tangyin put the floral fabric back on the shelf. "We don't have enough money to squander like this."
She manages the money; if she says she won't give it, who dares to object?
Besides, if it really was Xu Runli, let alone making her new clothes, it would be a miracle if Yun Tangyin didn't slap her.
Jiang Jianhua looked at Yun Tangyin: "That won't do! ...We're relatives after all."
Perhaps realizing his attitude was a bit off, Jiang Jianhua quickly smiled apologetically: "Sister-in-law, she's still my sister-in-law, so please don't mind it, okay?"
"How can you not mind?" Yun Tangyin looked at her. "Isn't this the Fu family's money you're spending?"
Just then, Fu Yuanshan suddenly appeared at the door, carrying a net bag in his hand: "I just came from the factory. I heard Accountant Wang say that Zhicheng is about to arrive?"
Jiang Jianhua immediately went over and said, "You've come at the right time! We need to rent a room. He has a wife with him, so he can't be mistreated."
This was her last hope for a turnaround.
"What kind of place do you want to rent?" Fu Yuanshan frowned. "We have a small guest room at home that's empty. We can clean it up and move in."
"What do you know!" Jiang Jianhua pushed him. "Runli is a young lady from the city, just as precious as Yun Tangyin. How can we let the two of them squeeze into a small guest room?"
Yun Tangyin suddenly laughed: "Second sister-in-law is quite polite, but I can't control who you want to stay in your own guest room, but this jacket is definitely not going to be made."
She turned to Accountant Wang and said, "Please tell Comrade Jiang that my second sister-in-law's family has everything prepared, so there's no need to find someone to stay overnight."
As soon as Accountant Wang nodded, Jiang Jianhua's face turned pale.
What does Yun Tangyin mean by that?
This means that the hospitality arrangements are entirely the responsibility of the couple, and Yun Tangyin won't contribute a single penny.
Unfortunately, their combined salaries are currently in Yun Tangyin's hands, and they still have debts to pay off...
What should we serve them?
Are you going to offer me your head as a treat?!
Jiang Jianhua got anxious and kept tugging at Fu Yuanshan's sleeve. Although Fu Yuanshan's expression wasn't very good, he had no choice but to back down now that Yun Tangyin had the upper hand.
Fu Yuanshan forced a smile, ultimately preferring to offend Jiang Jianhua rather than provoke Yun Tangyin: "I think my sister-in-law is right. After all, they are relatives from outside the family, and it's not appropriate for them to spend the Fu family's money. It's also not suitable for the young couple to squeeze into our place."
Jiang Jianhua glared at him anxiously, but Fu Yuanshan had already stopped Accountant Wang: "Let's keep an eye out for houses for them."
Accountant Wang had no choice but to nod again.
But after a while, she realized that Yun Tangyin was now in charge of the Fu family.
Yun Tangyin smiled calmly, chose the fabric she wanted to make clothes from, and also picked out a piece of fabric for Song Yushuang. After paying, she left.
Jiang Jianhua didn't chase after him. Instead, he grabbed Fu Yuanshan's sleeve anxiously by the roadside: "What do you mean? Isn't this embarrassing me? How am I supposed to talk to Zhicheng about this afterward?"
Fu Yuanshan shook off her hand and lowered his voice: "Do you think I want this? Yun Tangyin controls all our salaries now. We even have to ask her for money to buy groceries. How are we going to entertain her?"
Jiang Jianhua stamped his foot: "But that's my brother! It's his first time in Northeast China with his wife, we can't just let them stay in a hotel, can we?"
"Even a run-down hotel is better than owing Yun Tangyin a favor."
Fu Yuanshan glanced at the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative: "Didn't you see the look in her eyes just now? If we dare to touch the Fu family's money, she could throw the account books in front of Mom immediately."
Jiang Jianhua clutched the hem of his clothes, his eyes reddening: "What should we do? If Zhicheng finds out we're penniless, he'll definitely laugh at me for having no standing in the Fu family."
“Having no status is better than being kicked out.” Fu Yuanshan pulled out a few small bills from his pocket. “I still have some savings. When they arrive, you can arrange a meal for them. The rest is up to your brother.”
Jiang Jianhua snatched the small bills: "What can you do with this little bit of money? What can you eat at a state-run restaurant!"
Fu Yuanshan sneered, "Then go ask Yun Tangyin for it?"
Jiang Jianhua's face instantly fell. Looking in the direction Yun Tangyin had gone, he gritted his teeth and said, "It'll be fine once Zhicheng arrives..."
Fu Yuanshan didn't reply, picked up the net and turned to walk towards the factory gate.
He knew in his heart that Jiang Zhicheng's influence might not be effective with Yun Tangyin, since she still held onto that old grudge.
He gets annoyed whenever he thinks about his useless wife, Jiang Jianhua.
If he could marry a wife like Yun Tangyin, he would definitely not be in this situation now!
Thinking of Yun Tangyin's appearance, figure, and status, Fu Yuanshan felt a little jealous of Fu Yucheng. Just because he wasn't a biological son of the Fu family, did he have to give way to Fu Yucheng in every way?
It's a pity that we are now at the mercy of others...
Otherwise, he really wanted to...
Forcibly suppressing the anger in his heart, Fu Yuanshan thought about his own little schemes, only planning how to get rid of Jiang Jianhua, this troublesome wife, as soon as possible.
Fu Yuanshan was already fed up with just these past few days of coaxing her to fawn over Yun Tangyin.
