Ruan Jinlan didn't hide either, and let her mother poke and scold her.
She knows her mother. If you don't let her do anything or speak, she might cause bigger trouble for you later.
Old Lady Ruan was tired of scolding for a while, so she gave in and said, "If you don't have 200, that's fine, but you have to at least give me 150. We have to build a house, otherwise I will have to take your elder brother and your second brother's families to sleep in the wild."
"Mom, I really don't."
"Okay, if you don't have one, I'll go to the factory to find a son-in-law." Old Mrs. Ruan also understood her daughter and knew how to control her.
She pretended to stand up and walk out, but was stopped by Ruan Jinlan.
"Mom, you can't go to see Lao Cheng."
"Why can't I go find him? He is my son-in-law. Something happened to my mother-in-law's family, and as a son-in-law, he should help. No matter where I say this, I am right." Old Lady Ruan looked fearless.
"Mom, please don't go to see Old Cheng." Ruan Jinlan was about to cry. Cheng Fuguang had been kind to her except for being wary of her financially over the years.
In addition to her ability to give birth to a son, she is also a good person and manages the Cheng family well. More importantly, her family is worry-free. She has not danced in front of him in these years.
If her mother went to Old Cheng and said something behind his back, it's easy to imagine that her life would never be the same as it is now.
"I can choose not to look for a son-in-law, but you have to pay me for this money." Mrs. Ruan would not give up until she achieved her goal.
Ruan Jinlan really wanted to kneel down to her mother, but she knew that kneeling down to her mother would not work.
She looked at Ruan Jinfu, who had been standing next to her without saying anything, and asked, "Brother, do you mean the same thing as mom? You and your second brother want me, your married sister, to pay for the renovation of the house you live in?"
As soon as these words came out, Ruan Jinfu's face turned red. He avoided looking at Ruan Jinlan, and finally could only look at his mother.
"Little sister, this is all mom's idea." "He is a son, how can he make decisions for his mom? Children should listen to their parents."
Old Lady Ruan looked at Ruan Jinlan with a hint of pride and said, "Give me the money quickly, we need to go back early."
Wiping away her tears, Ruan Jinlan stood there for a long time before saying, "Okay. I'll give you the money, but I don't have that much. I still have some emergency money that Lao Cheng left at home, plus some living expenses left this month, so we can get together 80 yuan. That's all. I don't have a penny more."
"Only 80?!" Old Lady Ruan was obviously not satisfied. It was different from what she expected. She had originally planned to get at least 100.
"This is all I have. If there is more, I can't give it to you even if you force me to death. If you still want to go find Lao Cheng, then go ahead. Lao Cheng doesn't know that I give you filial piety money every year. If you go to him, there will be no filial piety money left after that." Ruan Jinlan looked like she was ready to give it all.
Now it’s a competition between her mother and her to see who is more willing to give it his all.
She may not live a good life in the future, but her mother will definitely be reluctant to give up the annual tribute money.
Old Lady Ruan thought about it for a long time and felt that now was not the time to break up. The reason why she had not disturbed her daughter and son-in-law for so many years was because the time had not come yet.
Jiabao is still young, so even if he can get support from the Cheng family, it will be very limited. It is better to wait until Jiabao grows up, and then ask the Cheng family to help him find a job or a marriage. It will be more cost-effective than before.
We can't tear each other apart over such a thing. Let's leave it at this for now, eighty is not bad. After finishing the kitchen, after deducting the money for hiring the flower maid, there should be some left.
"Okay, eighty is eighty. How can I, as your mother, force you to death?" Old Lady Ruan said, "Hurry up and give it to me. Your elder brother and I have to go back to the village. Don't waste time."
Ruan Jinlan turned and went into the house, and soon she took out a handful of banknotes, six of which were big unity notes, and the rest were some loose change.
Only after seeing the money did Mrs. Ruan believe what her daughter said, that part of the money was for living expenses.
After taking the money, Old Mrs. Ruan didn't hesitate and just pulled Ruan Jinfu away.
When she returned, she had to go to Qingshan Brigade to look for Hua Pozi to finalize the matter as soon as possible.
Ruan Jinlan saw her mother and eldest brother leave, but she did not go to see them off. She sat on the sofa where Old Lady Ruan had sat before, in a daze. No one knew what she was thinking...
In the evening, the Ruan family returned home to meet and exchange information.
Everyone basically completed their part of the responsibility perfectly.
Old Mrs. Ruan was very satisfied.
She has already made an agreement with Mrs. Hua that she will come to her house the day after tomorrow under the pretext of matchmaking for Ruan Mianmian and take a good look.
"Boss, don't ask anyone to help build the kitchen the day after tomorrow. Wait until everything is done."
"Jiajun, you will be responsible for keeping watch outside the door the day after tomorrow. If anyone comes, remember to notify us."
"Eldest wife and second wife, you two should clean the whole house in the next two days."
Old Mrs. Ruan made clear arrangements for everyone.
"By the way, where is that damned girl?!" Maybe he used Ruan Mianmian as an excuse, so he remembered that there was such a person in the family.
Everyone looked at each other, as if they were all asking each other questions, but no one seemed to know the answer.
Seeing that no one was talking, Ruan Jiajun said, "My elder sister is still resting in the room."
When Mrs. Ruan heard this, she got angry again.
"This damn girl, why doesn't she just die of laziness! How long has she been lying here? ! She's still resting, eldest daughter-in-law, go call her out! Let her cook dinner tonight!"
"Sister, there is still a wound on your head..." Ruan Jiajun wanted to say something, but his mother covered his mouth and stopped him from continuing.
Liu Cuifen obediently knocked on Ruan Mianmian's door, but there was no response from inside.
Liu Cuifen had no choice but to cook for herself. The makeshift earthen stove only had a clay pot, so cooking was very slow. If she delayed any further, she would not know when she would be able to eat tonight.
Ruan Mianmian was lying in the room resting, and she didn't care at all how her mother knocked on the door outside.
She would be able to leave this house soon, so she didn't want to serve them food and drink anymore. She was injured anyway, so it was normal for her to rest.
Based on her understanding of the Ruan family, Mrs. Hua will definitely come to their house within three days at the latest.
Soon, she will jump out of the quagmire~
