As soon as Qi Ran finished speaking, the Lu family members all looked at Shen Qianqian.
The second wife's family wholeheartedly agreed with their sister-in-law's words. Wasn't that right? Before, the fifth son could bring home 150 yuan a month, and Shen Qianqian could barely tolerate it even without working. But now, the fifth son can only bring home 50 yuan a month, a full 100 yuan less than before! It's really unacceptable for her not to work now, isn't it?
Besides, Shen Qianqian was supposed to be working a few days ago, but she lied about being sick and that's how she escaped to the present.
exist.
This time, we absolutely cannot let her escape.
The two women from the second wife's family made up their minds. The couple exchanged a knowing glance and voiced their support for Qi Ran.
“Yes, my fifth sister-in-law has been sick for almost two weeks now, she should be better by now. It’s not good for her to stay at home like this.” Chen Qin chimed in.
“You’re a good-for-nothing daughter-in-law of the Lu family, lazy, greedy and cunning! Put down your spoiled princess attitude and help with the housework!” The second son, Lu Yunfeng, spoke with a strong fatherly tone.
"You want me to do the work that much?" Shen Qianqian chuckled and asked in return.
"That's your duty as a daughter-in-law of the Lu family!" The eldest and second wives said this almost at the same time, their eyes practically glued to Shen Qianqian, staring at her menacingly.
Lu Yunzhi noticed the four men's predatory eyes, stepped in front of Shen Qianqian to shield her, and suddenly asked, "It seems that your eldest brother and second brother's family are not short of money anymore."
The four of them found Lu Yunzhi's question inexplicable. They were clearly discussing whether Shen Qianqian should work, so why was he suddenly asking if they had any money? Besides, what business was it of Lu Yunzhi's if they didn't have any money?
So, the four of them tacitly decided to mute themselves.
“It seems that my eldest and second brothers’ families are not short of money.” Lu Yunzhi sneered: “In that case, I will bring 15 yuan home every month. After all, it takes a lot of energy for Qianqian to work with you, so we need to set aside more money to nourish her body, unlike my eldest and second brothers who have more money.”
The eldest and second wives were dumbfounded. Had they heard correctly? The fifth son actually said they had too much money? Was he kidding?
"Fifth brother, between me and your second brother, who's richer? We two families are practically tightening our belts to make ends meet!" Lu Yuncheng rebuked Lu Yunzhi, "I know you have some money now, but you can't discriminate against your other brothers like this!"
The third and fourth wives, who had been quietly observing the situation, were dumbfounded. They had thought that the fifth brother was good at changing the subject, but they didn't expect that the eldest brother was even more skilled! In just a few words, he changed the topic to the fifth brother's discrimination against him and the second brother, and also dragged the other two wives into it.
However, Lu Yuncheng genuinely believed that Lu Yunzhi discriminated against him. Otherwise, why would he always talk about money? Why would he inexplicably say that they were rich? It was clearly sarcasm!
"Isn't this what you just said about being rich?" Lu Yunzhi feigned innocence.
The first and second wives remained bewildered, so Lu Yunzhi continued, "Otherwise, why wouldn't you even care about 50 yuan?"
Knowing her husband's intentions, Shen Qianqian chimed in to help, "Yes, it seems that eldest brother and second brother are now people who can casually pull out a huge sum of 50 yuan. In that case, I'll work with you!"
The first and second wives were overjoyed; after all this trouble, she was finally going to work with them.
live!
Before she could be happy for long, Shen Qianqian said, "The condition is that each household member will have to give 50 yuan to the family from now on."
She continued, "I know this is a bit difficult for everyone, but seeing how easily my eldest and second eldest brothers talked about 50 yuan, it seems that handing over only 50 yuan is no problem for them at all. They might even be able to help out the other brothers!"
As soon as Shen Qianqian finished speaking, almost all the family's eyes fell on the eldest and second wives.
If each household pays 50 yuan per month, the Lu family will soon be able to move from the village to the city! That's what Old Man Lu and Old Woman Li thought.
Shen Qian slowly said, "Since my eldest brother can help the family, then our branch of the family should also give him money."
"Thanks to you, brother. After all, it's already difficult for me and Lao Si to earn more than ten yuan a month."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yunshan, fearing his elder brother would abandon him, quickly raised his hand and said, "Me too! Me too! I can't earn that much money either! Brother, you can't abandon me!"
Xu Tianqing also counted on her fingers and said, "In that case, my older brother will have to pay 150 yuan every month. Won't that be too much of a burden?"
"Of course not!" Lu Yunzhi said with absolute certainty. "He's the older brother of the Lu family, rich and capable. A mere 150 yuan is no problem for him!"
The first and second wives were already drenched in sweat, especially Lu Yuncheng, who was perched high up.
I don't have 150 yuan a month! Besides, even if I did, I couldn't possibly hand it all over to my family, could I? I need to save it for my own little family to live on!
But now he's in a bind. If he doesn't agree, he'll lose face; but if he does, it's a bottomless pit!
Lu Yuncheng was now on the verge of tears, almost regretting why he hadn't stopped Qi Ran from saying those things.
Having followed Lu Yuncheng for two lifetimes, Qi Ran naturally saw through his intentions at a glance. Looking at the other three branches of the Lu family, they all seemed determined to drain them dry!
Why did I have to run into such a family of in-laws? A family full of vampires! "Enough!" Qi Ran shouted, raising her voice, "We can't possibly pay 150 yuan!"
of!"
"Oh, I thought you guys were already quite wealthy!" Lu Yunzhi wasn't about to let Qi off the hook.
Ran: "After all, my sister-in-law wants us to pay 50 yuan and also wants us to do work. Is there such a good thing in the world?"
Lu Yunzhi's voice was deep and cold, as if mixed with ice shards.
Upon hearing this, Qi Ran's tears, as large as pearls, rolled down her cheeks: "From now on, you can continue to send 50 yuan home, and your fifth sister-in-law can continue to rest and not have to do any work. Is that alright?"
Qi Ran vowed that this would be the most humiliating thing she had ever done since her rebirth, and she would make the fifth brother's family pay the price!
No! There are other vampires in the Lu family too, she'll make them all pay the price! Lu Yuncheng was heartbroken to see this, he raised his hand to wipe away Qi Ran's tears, he only hated himself...
I'm not strong enough to provide a better life for my wife. It's just a job that pays 50 yuan a month, isn't it?
He, Lu Yunzhi, can find it. He refuses to believe he can't!
Seeing her eldest daughter-in-law crying, Old Lady Li became worried about the baby in her belly. But facing her beloved youngest son, she glared at Lu Yunzhi, signaling him to stop talking.
But Lu Yunzhi had no intention of letting her off the hook: "No. That was the original idea, but now I've changed my mind."
