"What you're saying, in-laws, is not right. This is their own home."
They're all in their thirties; wouldn't it be strange if we had to tell them how to live?
When your children grow up, you should trust them and believe that they are capable of managing their own family.
We are guests, not hosts.
As long as the young couple is happy, that's all that matters.
Wouldn't it be exhausting to worry about things your whole life?
How could Mo Yan possibly let her say that directly?
If this person agrees, they'll probably have to stay here.
"What do you mean by that, in-law? Are you implying that my daughter's home isn't my home?"
Zhu's mother was immediately displeased.
"Of course not." Mo Yan said with a faint smile.
"Alright, alright, in that case, the marriage doesn't need to happen."
Zhu's mother stood up and pulled Zhu Li to leave. "Did you hear that? People are saying your house isn't my house anymore. What are you still doing here?"
Julie felt a headache coming on after hearing this. "Mom, what are you doing? Auntie is right, this is my and Zhu Yangshu's home."
Julie has always wanted a home of her own, a home she could arrange as she pleased.
But now it seems like my mother is a lot in this house. From what I can tell, she actually wants the whole family to move in.
"You think so too?" Zhu's mother stared at Zhu Li with wide eyes. "What, you're going to ignore your parents now that you're getting married?"
"Mom, what are you talking about? I didn't say I wouldn't take care of you, but I also want to have my own life. You have to take care of my younger brother too, don't you? I was wrong to think that you would take care of me before, but I can't be so selfish. You still have to take care of your younger brother."
At that time, she was actually a little happy, which showed that her mother did not favor boys over girls. At least her mother was still thinking about taking care of her while she was pregnant, instead of always thinking about her younger brother.
"Why don't you have your brother and dad come and live with you? This apartment has three bedrooms and a living room."
We can still rent out our house then. You can cover our living expenses and give me some wages.
Zhu's mother had a plan in mind: this way, they would have food, drink, and a salary—how wonderful!
Julie stared wide-eyed at her mother. "Mom, are you kidding me? You're all coming here?"
This is completely different from what she expected.
"What, you're not willing?" Zhu's mother sat down and looked at Mo Yan and Zhu Li.
"Let's get this straight: we have to move in. Zhu Yangshu has to pay me a salary and cover my living expenses, or this marriage is off."
"I disagree," Julie was the first to object. "Mom, you're making me support you and my brother, but don't you ever think about how I need to make a living too?"
Have you considered whether Zhu Yangshu agrees or not, and whether I agree or not?
You've made all the decisions, so you don't need to ask me, right?
Actually, if Zhu's mother hadn't been thrown into disarray, she wouldn't have revealed her true intentions now. But Mo Yan clearly intends to stay here, and what will happen to their family if Mo Yan stays here?
"Why are you asking me! I've already made the decision. So, Mo Yan, do you agree? If you don't agree, your son shouldn't get married."
Hearing this, Mo Yan wasn't in a hurry at all. "Alright, in that case, let's settle the score."
Mo Yan immediately opened her phone and looked at Zhu's mother.
"Zhu Yangshu and Zhu Li have been together for five years. He earns 100,000 yuan a month, of which 50,000 yuan goes to Zhu Li. That's 600,000 yuan a year and 3 million yuan over five years."
In addition to the previous bride price of 200,000 yuan, which was directly transferred to your daughter, that makes 3.2 million yuan.
"Give this money back, and the wedding is off."
Mo Yan rattled off the final amount in a few words.
Hearing this number, not only Zhu's mother but also Zhu Li were stunned. Did they really have that much money?
And this is just Zhu Yangshu's salary; there's also hers. So how much money is actually in her salary account?
Julie had never managed money; she had no concept of money because her mother always said that their family was poor and had no money.
So she always felt really poor, but when she calculated it this way, it felt like she had a lot of money.
"What a joke! Why should you take it back? This was given to my daughter by your son willingly."
Zhu's mother wasn't worried about Zhu Yangshu at all; that fool cared about Zhu Li, so there was nothing to worry about.
"That's assuming they're boyfriend and girlfriend and are getting married. Of course, we should get such a large sum of money back. Don't worry, if you don't give it to us, we'll sue you."
"This money all has bank statements, so it can definitely be traced clearly and transparently. If you don't pay such a large sum of money, how many years will you be sentenced to?"
Mo Yan immediately took out her phone and searched on Baidu. "Look, it's ten to fifteen years."
Mo Yan didn't smile at all throughout, and her serious expression left the two of them completely bewildered.
"Think it over carefully so I can find a lawyer."
Seeing Mo Yan's serious expression, Zhu's mother was completely stunned.
"There has never been a reason to ask for a refund." How could she possibly refund the money?
Upon hearing this, Julie was stunned. "Mom, what are you saying? I never said I wouldn't get married. How could you say this? Have you ever considered what I think?"
"Shut up! Your mother's being bullied! Get out of my way!"
Zhu's mother shoved Zhu Li away, and just as she was about to hit the table, Mo Yan pulled her back.
"What you say is useless. The law is right there. Don't worry, if you're not satisfied, you can appeal. If you lose the case and refuse to pay, I can request enforcement, which is not up to you."
Mo Yan grabbed Zhu's mother's hand and shoved her onto the sofa, appearing in front of her instantly.
"What...what do you want to do?" Zhu's mother suddenly panicked.
"I'm not doing anything, I just want to borrow your phone for a bit."
Mo Yan quickly took her phone, instantly unlocked it with her password, and then entered a number.
"Remember this is my lawyer's number; he will contact you in a moment."
Since you forbid your daughter from getting married, then please leave.
Mo Yan pointed directly to the main entrance, and Zhu Yangshu hadn't even reacted yet.
Before he could speak, Mo Yan kicked him into the sofa. "Shut up, you old hag. People are practically begging your mother to support you and your whole family, and you're still trying to smooth things over? Get out of here!"
Zhu Yangshu: "..."
"Mom, no, I won't support my mother-in-law's family. I know my own capabilities. I only want Julie."
He struggled to get up and grabbed Julie's hand. "Julie, I want to be with you. You won't let me support your whole family, will you?"
"Yes, I won't let you support my whole family."
Julie nodded and looked at her mother, "Mom, my mother-in-law is right. This is our little home. You have no right to move in. Also, please return my salary and Zhu Yangshu's salary to me. Otherwise, even if my mother-in-law hires a lawyer, I won't help you. I will also testify."
