Chapter 83: Give my brother face
Yes, there is a small mirror embedded inside this dressing box.
It was not the bronze mirror that people use now, but a glass mirror.
When the other members of the Su family saw the small mirror in the dressing box, they were also surprised and gathered around.
Even Old Lady Su's indifferent expression changed.
Li Shuying raised the corner of her mouth and looked at Su Sihu proudly.
Su Sihu's face darkened.
When little Tangbao saw the interaction between his fourth brother and his wife, he closed the box with a "snap" of his little hand.
Then, he pushed it in front of Li Shuying.
“No!”
After saying that, he hugged Su Sihu's arm again.
"I want my brother!"
Su Sihu was so moved that his eyes turned red.
Looking at the little girl hugging his arms, he wanted to take his heart out.
He finally understood why his whole family doted on his sister so much.
This is so painful!
So thoughtful!
As an older brother, he is so proud in front of his wife!
The corners of Li Shuying's mouth froze.
Su Sihu's gloomy face brightened up.
Little Tangbao held his chin high, looking a little proud.
Humph! I don't care about mirrors!
It’s not like I haven’t seen it before!
I won’t let my brother down!
How could it be so easy to exchange a small mirror for your handsome brother?
Between you and Fourth Brother, of course you have to support Fourth Brother!
Old Mrs. Su glanced at Li Shuying, turned around and took out a cloth bag from the box behind her.
As the layers opened, the silver ingots inside were revealed.
Everyone in the room widened their eyes.
Li Shuying was also surprised.
She didn't expect that the Su family had so much money.
Even if the Su family's life was better, they wouldn't have so much money, right?
However, what she didn't expect was that there was still more to come.
Old Mrs. Su took out a ten-liang silver ingot and placed it in front of Li Shuying.
"This is for you. Although the fourth son married into the Li family, he is still the son of our Su family."
"The Su family's son will get married and won't be short of the betrothal money."
What I mean is, this is the betrothal money for you.
After Mrs. Su finished speaking, she counted out ten more silver ingots.
"This is the money that the fourth brother has used to support the fifth brother's studies in the past few years."
"Those silver coins can be considered as loans from the Su family."
"The Su family won't sell their sons. You can take back the money that the fourth son spent on the fifth son, as well as the interest."
Li Shuying's face was full of shock and disbelief.
She never expected that her mother-in-law would do such a thing.
Isn’t it said that country people are greedy for money?
Isn’t it said that country people are short-sighted?
Isn’t it said that country people have never seen silver?
Isn’t it said that if you get involved with your rural in-laws, you’ll be skinned alive?
Don’t you all say…
Why does her mother-in-law think differently from her?
More than one hundred taels of silver, and you gave it to her so easily and casually?
Her mother is still at home, and she is always worried that she will be taken advantage of by her in-laws and have to ask for money every few days.
But now——
Could it be possible that she could make a fortune?
Qian Yuemei's eyes widened as she watched from the side.
My heart was trembling.
silver!
A lot of money!
My mother-in-law actually has so much silver!
How can we give this money to outsiders for free?
"mother!"
Qian Yuemei's eagerness for the money made her scream out loudly, her voice breaking.
He even forgot the crisis brought by Zhang Maiya.
Old Mrs. Su frowned and glanced over.
At the critical moment, why did this second daughter-in-law fail again?
Now is the time to support the fourth brother!
It would have been fine if the Su family had not acknowledged the fourth child before.
Now that I have acknowledged my son, I must make sure that he can stand tall and proud in the Li family.
You can't let people talk about you about money.
Don’t let others look down on you!
How could Su Sihu not understand what his mother meant? He almost shed tears.
First it was my sister, now it’s my mother…
At this moment, Su Sihu felt his heart was burning.
Su Erhu glanced at Qian Yuemei and shouted in a low voice: "Shut up!"
Qian Yuemei was so anxious that her face turned pale. Just as she was about to open her mouth to refute, Zhang Maila opened his mouth for some reason and said something weakly in a low voice.
"Second sister-in-law, mother has her own reasons for doing things."
Qian Yuemei, “…”
The head that was covered with silver suddenly woke up.
A strong sense of crisis flashed across my mind.
"Do I need to tell you that?"
Qian Yuemei glanced at Zhang Maiya.
Then, a string of compliments came out of his mouth.
"Mom is the anchor of our family!"
"Mom always makes the most sense when she does things!"
"I just want to remind you, mother, that we'd rather give you more money than less!"
"Lest people say that our Su family is slandering our in-laws!"
After saying that, he did not forget to glance at Li Shuying.
Li Shuying's face was full of embarrassment.
It has to be said that most people in the room were shocked when Qian Yuemei said this.
Even Su Sihu showed a shocked expression.
He still had a general understanding of what kind of person this second sister-in-law was.
Why are you saying something like this now to give him face?
Su Sihu was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped.
It seems that he is too superficial!
He used to look down on his second sister-in-law.
My younger brother apologized to my second sister-in-law.
It has to be said that because of Zhang Maiya's existence, Qian Yuemei has directly changed from a troublemaker to a good daughter-in-law who is filial, obedient, and considerate of the overall situation.
In fact, people like Qian Yuemei cannot live too comfortably.
There has to be constant pressure and threat.
Otherwise, you will only remember the food and not the beating.
Little Tangbao looked at his second sister-in-law and smiled.
This second sister-in-law is really interesting sometimes.
This look of being unwilling but having to hold it in is really laughable.
Li Shuying never expected that her in-laws would give her one shock after another.
What she didn't expect was that even her sisters-in-law would work together so hard to protect the reputation of the Su family.
Li Shuying couldn't help feeling ashamed of herself.
What were you thinking before you came here?
Now the whole family has slapped themselves in the face with their actions.
Li Shuying felt ashamed of her previous thoughts.
He quickly pushed the silver back and his expression became much more respectful.
"Mom, I can't accept this money. We are family and we should keep our distance. Xiaowu is my brother-in-law, and as his sister-in-law, I should take care of him."
Li Shuying paused here and looked at Su Sihu.
Then, he added: "Besides, the money spent on Xiaowu did not belong to the Li family."
Not from the Li family?
Old Mrs. Su was stunned.
"Mother, please keep this money." Su Sihu said, "The money I used to support Xiaowu's studies was my salary and has nothing to do with the Li family."
As soon as Su Sihu finished speaking, everyone in the room was stunned.
What does this mean?
Why does it feel weird?
Didn’t she marry into the Li family?
Why are you talking about wages again?
In fact, at the very beginning, Su Laowu used Su Laosi's money to study.
Later, when the Su family had little Tangbao and Old Lady Su had money in her hands, she never asked Old Fifth Su to ask Old Fourth Su for money again.
The silver that Su Sihu spent on Su Wuhu was only a few dozen taels.
Old Mrs. Su thought that Su Sihu was using the Li family's money, so she gave him a high interest rate.
After all, now that Su Wuhu has passed the imperial examination, his entire identity has changed.
As a result, the entire Su family also rose in wealth.
This is something that cannot be bought with any amount of silver.
After Su Sihu finished speaking, he looked at Su Wuhu again.
"Xiaowu, Fourth Brother didn't marry into the Li family to support your education. Don't feel sorry for Fourth Brother in the future."
When Su Sihu said this, a strange light flashed in his eyes and he glanced at Li Shuying.
"Fourth brother marrying into the family was his own decision and has nothing to do with anyone else."
"Fourth brother?" Su Wuhu still looked unconvinced.
Su Sihu patted Su Wuhu on the shoulder.
Then he turned around, picked up a silver ingot on the kang and handed it to Li Shuying.
"Since this is the betrothal money your mother gave you, just keep it."
Li Shuying, "..."
I never knew that money could be so hot.
It's not only hot to the touch, but also hot to the heart.
The heat made her feel uneasy.
She was clearly marrying into the Li family's family, but not only did she not ask for a betrothal gift from the Li family, but they gave her a betrothal gift instead. What does this mean?
Why are the people in my mother-in-law's family so tough?
His tough attitude made her feel extremely uneasy.
What would she do if Sihu returned to the Su family?
Li Shuying, who has always been smart and capable, was a little flustered.
As soon as I walked in, the sense of superiority in my heart disappeared.
At this moment, she suddenly realized that she would rather her mother-in-law's family be greedy and difficult to deal with.
Little Tangbao looked at his mother with a pair of starry eyes.
My mother's manipulation is simply amazing.
I just refused the gift from my fourth sister-in-law, but my mother directly hit me with silver.
He used the method of throwing silver to give Fourth Sister-in-law a warning!
High! Really high!
However, Xiao Tangbao looked at Qian Yuemei and then at Zhang Maiya.
Why did she feel that the reason why the second sister-in-law said those words just now was because of the third sister-in-law whose status was uncertain?
However, could this third sister-in-law really be his third sister-in-law?
