Li Rou and Mo Yan were getting along so well just a few days ago, calling each other sisters. How come they turned on each other like that?
No wonder Grandma Zhong suspected something was amiss.
“Grandma, you’ve come to the right place. I heard you still have 100,000 yuan. Li Rou is your granddaughter. This jade bracelet is worth more than 300,000 yuan. My mother bought it from an auction house. We even have the invoice. Your granddaughter broke it. She doesn’t have any money. Could you give her a little more? Otherwise, I won’t be able to explain to my grandmother.”
Mo Yan shoved the jade bracelet into Old Lady Zhong's hand.
Grandma Zhong didn't know anything about antiques, so she could only show them to Song Xinxin behind her.
The more Song Xinxin looked at it, the more surprised she became. The jade bracelet felt cool to the touch and was of excellent quality. Even though she was someone who didn't know much about jade, she felt that it was extraordinary.
"You say Li Rou broke it, so she broke it. Do you have any proof?" Old Mrs. Zhong realized that Li Rou had caused a big problem and was furious. She shoved the jade bracelet back into Mo Yan's hand and scolded Li Rou, "You brat, tell me quickly, what did you do with that jade bracelet? Did someone instruct you to do it?" Her gaze was fixed on Lu Siqiao.
Lu Siqiao knew exactly what she was up to, and quickly waved her hand, saying, "Grandma, it has nothing to do with me. It was Arou who wanted to touch the jade bracelet worth hundreds of thousands of yuan, and she didn't hold it properly and dropped it."
Li Rou said with a look of shame, "I was bewitched, it's all my fault." As she spoke, she seemed to be on the verge of collapse, and stepped forward to hug Mo Yan's hand, "Mo Yan, your mother said that as long as I have 80,000 yuan, it will be fine, and she will make up the rest and find someone to repair the bracelet. She agreed."
“Yes, Yan’er, stop fooling around. You’re classmates, it’s not worth ruining your relationship over a few dollars,” said Jiang Lizhen, Mo Yan’s stepmother, as she held the bank card in her hand, intending to return it to Li Rou.
Mo Yan snapped, "Am I angry about the money? No, I'm angry that she didn't tell me sooner. We're classmates, how could I take your money?"
Seeing that she was being generous, Grandma Zhong quickly flattered her, saying, "If you really pity my Rou, then return the money to her. Her mother still needs to take medicine and recuperate; it's not easy for her."
I wonder who it was that just now complained about Li Rou spending too much money on tonics.
“No, since it was my Arou who did it, she has to take responsibility.” Zhou Yuemei walked up to Jiang Lizhen, took her hand and said, “Sister, I’m so sorry. My Arou is clumsy. It’s all thanks to you. If it were anyone else, they would have put her in jail. Take the 80,000 yuan first. I will pay you back little by little when I make money.”
I've never seen such a stupid person.
Everyone says I don't need to pay back the money, oh dear!
Grandma Zhong was anxiously watching from the side, desperately trying to wink at her.
“Sister Zhou, look at what you’re saying. Our family doesn’t need this little bit of money; it’s just for the kids to play with. But since you insist on giving me the money, I’ll reluctantly accept it. I’ll give it to Arou after she graduates and gets married. Now, just give it to me for safekeeping.” Jiang Lizhen didn’t refuse anymore and accepted the bank card.
Grandma Zhong was so angry she almost ground her teeth to powder.
After seeing Jiang Lizhen and her daughter off, Zhou Yuemei complained a few times about Li Rou, but she was a gentle person and thought that money could be earned back, and she was in a hurry to be discharged from the hospital.
After leaving the hospital, Grandma Zhong tried to explain to Song Xinxin, but Song Xinxin turned and left after a disagreement.
"You pack your things, I'm leaving." Old Mrs. Zhong seemed like a different person, throwing the bucket in her hand on the road and saying disdainfully, "Don't go back to your hometown either, our family is poor and can't afford to support you."
The sudden change in expression startled Zhou Yuemei. She asked, "Mom, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
"Don't you have any self-awareness? I was originally planning to bring you home and take good care of you. You even gave 50,000 yuan to Azhi for his wedding. I never expected you to give birth to such a spendthrift daughter."
"Everyone told you you don't have to pay any money, but you're putting on a brave face. What are you pretending for?"
"I'm putting this out there: either you give 50,000 yuan to the second son's family, and I'll take good care of you until you recover. Otherwise, our family will consider you as no daughter-in-law, and we'll never see you again, no matter what."
In the end, it all comes down to the 100,000 yuan that Li Rou has.
Now that the money is gone, the Li family has stopped pretending.
Zhou Yuemei trembled with anger and said coldly, "Mom, how can you be like this? You act like a grandson when you have money, but you have to tear off the mask when you don't. If that's the case, I'd rather that 100,000 yuan go down the drain, at least my daughter will learn a lesson and remember it in the future."
"Listen to this, the most poisonous heart is a woman's heart, that's exactly what you are, you heartless thing! If you hadn't cursed my son to death, would I be in this state?" Old Mrs. Zhong cursed, her words becoming increasingly vile.
Fearing that Zhou Yuemei might not be able to handle the shock, Li Rou stepped forward and said, "Grandma, you may look down on us, but we won't bother you. Before, my father was filial to you and always thought of you. Now that he's gone, you've given all your money to your second uncle. Be careful, or you'll end up with nothing."
"I don't think that woman surnamed Song is a kind person. If you have money, she'll be all smiles. If you don't have money, humph, she'll complain that you're too old and sullen. She'll kick you out of the new house after you've only lived there for two days. Don't come crying to my mother for shelter then."
Mo Yan chimed in, "Yes, women these days are so materialistic, especially when the man is incompetent. When the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law don't get along, tsk tsk, it's like a blockbuster movie."
Everyone turned to look at Grandma Zhong, with expressions of anticipation.
Mrs. Zhong:......
Song Xinxin just said something harsh: if you don't have money, don't come to her. Where are we going to borrow the remaining 30,000 yuan?
After borrowing money, isn't it her who has to pay it back? She's over sixty years old, where is she going to earn money?
Zhou Yuemei looked at her, her eyes no longer showing the respect she once had, and said in a low voice, "Mom, I wish you find a good wife and that everything goes well for you."
After saying that, she led Li Rou into a taxi.
"Yueming, could you lend your mother 30,000 yuan, just this once?" Old Mrs. Zhong reached her hand through the car window, her voice pleading. "My second son finally found someone he likes, and as his sister-in-law, you should at least show some appreciation."
Everyone: ...
The old lady's favoritism truly surprised everyone.
Mo Yan kindly reminded them, "If you don't have money, don't get married. What are you trying to prove? Let them rent a place. They'll be much more comfortable with 100,000 yuan."
Zhou Yuemei coldly pushed away Old Lady Zhong's hand and pleaded, "Mom, we are poorer than Li Zhi. Have pity on me and lend me 50,000 yuan to help me get better. I'll work and take care of you later."
Seeing Grandma Zhong's embarrassed expression, she said to the driver, "Driver, start driving."
Seeing that Zhou Yuemei's heart was dead, Li Rou whispered, "Mom, I'm sorry."
"Don't say sorry. As long as we're both okay, we can make money and life won't be bad." Zhou Yuemei hugged her and sighed softly.
Lu Siqiao watched with envy, thinking that this was the right way for mothers and daughters to get along.
Just then, her cell phone rang in her backpack.
"Jova, the money has been transferred to you. Quickly have someone send the medicine over."
Chen Luoxia said angrily.
