Fu Yibo was embarrassed and didn't reply.
Qin Shishi, looking at Fu Yibo and Lin's expressions, probably guessed it. They must have asked, but in the end, they got nothing out of it.
Qin Shishi's mind was full of thoughts. She had been observing Bei Yutang's financial situation for a while and knew that her dowry was quite large. If she didn't get her dowry out, the Fu family would be a poor family.
Qin Shishi sighed softly, "Alas, I can't help my cousin because I'm not as rich as Sister Bei. Sister Bei owns several shops, and any money she gives me is enough for my cousin to spend."
"Hmph, don't mention it. That woman is so stingy. She kept her dowry secret and refused to reveal even a penny. We couldn't bring ourselves to ask her for it." Lin said angrily.
"Sister Bei is from the Fu family, so her things naturally belong to the Fu family. There's no such thing as her dowry. What's wrong with Auntie going to get those things herself?"
This twisted logic completely resonated with Lin and Fu Yibo, who felt that she was right. Bei Yutang was the daughter-in-law of their Fu family, and her things belonged to the Fu family.
Some people completely forgot that a woman's dowry belongs to her and her husband and her in-laws have no right to dispose of it. Unfortunately, some people chose to forget and only remembered the things that were useful to them.
"She stays in that room all day long. How can I get it? If I ask her to take it away, the maids and old women around her are not easy to deal with." Lin expressed her concerns.
Qin Shishi's eyes turned, "This isn't difficult."
Lin asked hurriedly, "Do you have any good ideas?"
"How about this. Tomorrow I will invite Sister Bei to the Guanyin Temple in the suburbs, under the pretext of praying for a child. I think Sister Bei will agree. Let her bring her maids and old women with her, and you, her aunt, will be the only one left at home. You go to her room to get the things, and when the things are in your hands, she won't dare to do anything." Qin Shishi told them what she was thinking, and the eyes of Fu Yibo and Lin lit up.
"What if she makes a fuss?" Lin asked again.
Qin Shishi chuckled softly and said slowly, "If Sister Bei really wants to make a scene, she's being ungrateful. Aunt, at that time, you just told others that she gave it to you, but now you've changed your mind. People all say Sister Bei is filial, and this is her gift to you. If she tries to snatch it back, it will also allow others to know her true colors. This is a win-win situation."
"If she doesn't make a fuss, that's fine. But if she does, it'll be a good thing for you, Auntie."
After hearing this, Lin nodded repeatedly, took her hand, and patted it. "Shishi, you're really smart. You figured it out right away. Now I'll see how I can handle her."
Qin Shishi said delicately, "It's my honor to be able to help my aunt with her worries and difficulties. As long as my aunt doesn't mind my clumsiness, that's all that matters."
"How could I dislike you? I like you so much." Lin smiled and looked at Qin Shishi with eyes that made her like her more and more the more she looked at her.
Lin pushed Qin Shishi to her son's side and said, "Yibo, you must treat Shishi well in the future. If you let her down, I will not forgive you."
