Chapter 112: My son, you have to fight for your mother
"Xu Baoju, isn't your nephew lame in one leg? He must be around 27 or 28 years old. How can you say that you want Xiumin to marry him?"
Before Sun Erni said anything, Li Guiying couldn't stand it anymore. Even if Xiumin didn't have a job and was going to the countryside, she couldn't marry such a man!
Xu Baoju didn't think there was anything she couldn't say. She smiled smugly, "So what? Men will be more caring when they grow up. Besides, my nephew has a proper job and can support his family. There are many people who want to marry him. I just watched Xiumin grow up and knew that she was well-behaved, so I thought about her first. How about it, Erni, do you think it's okay?"
Sun Erni turned around and took a basin of water and threw it over, "I'm your mother's head. You're the only one who treats your nephew as a treasure. Don't bother my Xiumin. I find it disgusting. If you say that again, I'll smash your house."
Xu Baoju, who was splashed with water, wiped her face and screamed, "Sun Erni, what are you doing? Pay for my clothes."
"I won't compensate you for anything. Your mouth stinks, so I just want to wash it for you." Sun Erni didn't want to indulge her. She turned around and prepared to get another basin of water and throw it over.
Seeing her move, Xu Baoju stopped washing her clothes and stepped back, shouting, "Sun Erni, just wait for me. If you are not willing to do it now, then send your daughter to the countryside and make her suffer. Then she will beg me to marry my nephew."
"Xiu Min..." Li Guiying wanted to say that Xiu Min didn't need to go to the countryside anymore, but before she could finish her words, she was stopped by Sun Erni. She sneered, "Don't tell her, she just can't stand seeing others doing well."
In fact, what Sun Erni was more worried about was that if she said too much, Xu Baoju would start to doubt Shang Xiumin's age. After all, they lived together, and she could basically tell the year the child was born by just calculating.
"Haha, you don't dare to say it, I'll just wait for you to regret it." Xu Baoju felt very uncomfortable with her wet clothes sticking to her body. She fell down and went home to change clothes.
Li Guiying looked at Xu Baoju's back with a puzzled look on her face and asked, "Erni, why didn't you let me tell you that Xiumin has a job?"
Sun Erni shook her head. "There's nothing much to say. If I say it at this critical moment, I'm afraid that some people will get jealous and some wicked people might report it. Let's keep a low profile!"
Li Guiying nodded thoughtfully, "You are right. It is always good to keep a low profile. But, Erni, I remember your Xiumin is only fifteen, right? She is two years younger than my second niece from my mother's family. I should be right, right?"
Sun Erni corrected him calmly, "You remembered it wrong. Xiumin is already sixteen this year. Her birthday is in September, so she would have been sixteen a long time ago. Have you forgotten? When your niece was born that year, I was pregnant with Xiumin. You also told me to put your niece's urine ring under my pillow, and it would definitely give birth to a little girl. Do you remember?"
"It seems to be true. I remembered it as soon as you mentioned it. It's like this. Xiumin is exactly sixteen years old this year, and my second niece from my mother's side is seventeen. Look at my memory, how could I forget it? Xiumin is also lucky, as her age fits the mark." Li Guiying once again sighed at Yang Xiumin's good luck.
"She's sixteen, and will be a big girl soon." Sun Erni said with a smile. After talking to Li Guiying today, if anyone doubts Xiumin's age in the future, there will be someone to help her testify. Thinking of this, she was also glad that she gave birth to Xiumin at home. If she gave birth in a hospital, it would be impossible to fake it.
In the evening, the whole family naturally knew that Yang Xiumin had found a job, and everyone was happy for her, except Su Qiuyan.
She was so jealous that she went crazy. It turned out that her sister-in-law was not her biological sister. She had asked Yang Xiufen to find a job for her a long time ago, but there was no news at all. When it came to Yang Xiumin's turn, the news came quickly.
But when she heard that Yang Xiumin's job cost her parents-in-law 1,200 yuan, she became even more angry. She couldn't help but speak out: "Dad, Mom, didn't you say that there was no money to share when we divided the family property? How come you still have money to buy Xiumin a job now? I won't say anything about a few hundred yuan, but more than a thousand yuan, do you think it's reasonable? What kind of job is so expensive?"
When Sun Erni and Yang Fugui heard this, they stopped smiling and looked at Yang Jinwei sideways, "Old Second, do you think so too?"
Yang Jinwei actually felt a little uncomfortable. He spent twelve thousand yuan on his younger sister all at once. Didn't they really get any money in the future?
But after hearing his parents ask this, he could only pretend to be calm and answered: "Mom and Dad, it's your own money that you have the final say. Besides, Xiumin is also in a hurry, I can understand."
Sun Erni's face looked a little better after hearing what her second son said. "Like the second son said, we have the final say on how to spend our own money. Now is a special period, Xiumin's job is a bit expensive, but there is nothing we can do. From now on, Xiumin will give me 10 yuan a month as salary, which will be regarded as repayment for the job."
Yang Xiumin also pouted and glared at Su Qiuyan secretly. Her mother was right. The second sister-in-law wanted to sow discord between her and the third sister-in-law. She thought the second sister-in-law was thinking about her, but now her true colors are revealed. Fortunately, she didn't quarrel with the third sister-in-law.
Yang Jinsheng suddenly asked, "Mom, why don't you ask me if I have any opinions?"
Sun Erni glanced at Jiang Xinbai and said, "If you have any opinions, just keep them to yourself. I won't ask."
Yang Jinsheng didn't get angry after hearing this, he just shrugged his shoulders and said, "I just asked a question without any further ado. Congratulations to Comrade Yang Xiumin on getting a job. To express my congratulations, your third sister-in-law is going to give you a box of snow cream."
Yang Xiumin looked at Jiang Xinbai with surprise, "Third sister-in-law, is this true? Are you really going to buy me snowflake cream?"
Jiang Xinbai smiled at her and said, "Of course it's real. My third sister-in-law will buy it for you tomorrow." Now that her sister-in-law has found a job, she won't worry about her job anymore. A bottle of snow cream is nothing.
"Look at Xinbai, this is what a sister-in-law should be like. She is always thinking about the things of us old couple. She is really promising." Sun Erni still felt suffocated and couldn't help but make a few more sarcastic remarks to Su Qiuyan.
Su Qiuyan's face was very ugly. She glared at Jiang Xinbai and cursed inwardly: Pretend, the old couple are good at pretending. She didn't believe that they didn't want the old couple's money and pretended to be good people. They thought that after giving birth to Yang Jiabao, the old couple's money would be theirs, right? She insisted on fighting for it.
Thinking of this, she subconsciously touched her belly and said, "My child, you have to fight for your mother!"
