While giving Chen Suwen a thumbs up, Ye Yulian asked her, "When did you become so understanding?"
“If you had found out that your daughter-in-law was giving money to her parents’ family before, you would have beaten them up.”
Chen Suwen maintained her smile, "I've always been this understanding."
Ye Yulian didn't care why Chen Suwen was so easy to talk to, and after spending time with her, she didn't feel that Chen Suwen was much different from before.
Their personalities are similar, and their habits are similar too. Although her temper has improved a bit, it's not a big problem.
To be honest, Chen Suwen and the original owner are indeed very similar. They have similar personalities, similar habits, and even similar ways of speaking.
As her neighbor of several decades, Ye Yulian really didn't notice any difference between them.
Chen Suwen sometimes wondered if the original owner and she were the same person from a parallel world.
But sometimes, even the same person can be raised to be different people by two different worlds, different developments, and different living environments.
Unexpectedly, Chen Suwen and the original owner had so many similarities, even though the original owner had parents and siblings, while she was just an orphan.
Chen Suwen didn't even care about Shen Wenxiu's subsidy for her mother, but when He Caiping returned home with twenty yuan, she was met with complaints from the whole family.
"How can it be only twenty yuan? I've already inquired, and Wenxiu has earned at least two hundred yuan in the past few months."
"Why did she only give twenty yuan?" Shen's eldest sister-in-law was very dissatisfied when she heard her mother-in-law say that her sister-in-law had given twenty yuan.
After hearing that her sister-in-law was making bread and selling it to the supply and marketing cooperative, the eldest sister-in-law of the Shen family inquired about the price of the bread from various sources.
She knew exactly what the retail price was and what price Shen Wenxiu sold it to the supply and marketing cooperative.
Upon careful calculation, Shen Wenxiu had indeed made a considerable amount of money.
After calculating how much money Shen Wenxiu had earned, Shen's eldest sister-in-law became extremely jealous and couldn't help but complain to her husband about it.
She even said that if her husband had learned cooking from his father, he would definitely have earned more than Shen Wenxiu.
Shen Wenguang retorted directly, "So what if you're a good cook? Look at how much my dad earns. Is it as much as Shen Wenxiu?"
Actually, Shen Wenguang wasn't without jealousy towards his younger sister, but he also knew very well that his cooking skills weren't very good. Let alone bread and cakes, he couldn't even make ordinary steamed buns properly.
Even when I ask him to knead dough, he can't produce that soft and fluffy bun skin.
Therefore, even though Shen Wenguang was very jealous of Shen Wenxiu, he never thought that he could sleep with him; he was well aware of his own abilities.
The reason he didn't learn cooking from his father or work in the canteen with him was because he wasn't very good at cooking and didn't like cooking.
Shen Wenguang was self-aware enough to know that he couldn't compare to his younger sister's cooking skills, but he was still jealous and couldn't shake off his feelings for a long time.
Shen's eldest sister-in-law couldn't shake off her jealousy towards Shen Wenxiu. They were both women, and neither of them had a formal job, so why could Shen Wenxiu earn so much?
But Shen Wenxiu was cooperating with the supply and marketing cooperative, not secretly selling the goods herself. Even if she wanted to report Shen Wenxiu for speculation and ruin her business, she couldn't.
"Why are you nagging? If you had Wenxiu's cooking skills, you could only make some bread and cakes and see if the supply and marketing cooperative would accept them."
Listening to his wife's constant nagging and complaints, and her sarcastic remarks about Shen Wenxiu making money by selling bread, Shen Wenguang couldn't help but tell her to do it herself.
If she's capable, she'll bake bread herself to compete with Shen Wenxiu.
Shen's eldest sister-in-law was speechless at that time. If she had such ability, she would have already snatched Shen Wenxiu's business, right?
She had no idea how to make bread, and she didn't even have a bread oven at home.
They live in a tenement building where the kitchen is shared. Where is she supposed to bake bread?
So no matter how envious or jealous she was, she couldn't do anything to Shen Wenxiu, and she couldn't keep up with the conditions in all aspects if she wanted to follow suit.
Hearing her mother-in-law say that Shen Wenxiu only gave twenty yuan made her even more upset.
I earned several hundred yuan, but I only gave my parents twenty yuan as a filial gift. Is that reasonable?
"Mom, you only brought back twenty yuan? Couldn't you have asked Wenxiu to give you more?"
"She earned several hundred yuan, how come she only gave you and Dad such a small amount as a token of her respect?"
"You and Dad worked so hard to raise her, why doesn't she know how to repay you both?"
The eldest sister-in-law of the Shen family acted as if she was doing what was best for her parents-in-law, and as if she was indignant that her sister-in-law was not so filial.
He Caiping didn't even glance at her eldest daughter-in-law. How could she not know what kind of person her daughter-in-law was?
She didn't even take out the twenty yuan, but instead placed a basket of bread in front of everyone, saying, "Here, this is bread made by Wenxiu, and this is a cake she made."
Shen Wenxiu rarely makes cakes, but since her mother was visiting her this time, she brought one back for her.
This time, Shen Wenxiu brought back a 12-inch cake for her mother. Of course, this wasn't a passion fruit cake, but a strawberry cake.
Wow, a cake!
When Shen's grandson saw the cake, he couldn't help but cheer. Before the adults could even say that he could eat it, he reached out and grabbed it.
"Don't move." Before anyone else could say anything, Shen Wencai slapped away his nephews' outstretched hands. "Is this what you're eating? Don't reach out."
Shen Wencai claimed the strawberry cake for himself, but remembering that he still needed to rely on his parents, he cut the cake in half and gave some to his parents first.
"Mom and Dad, you should try some."
