Sister Liu: "Yes, isn't it beautiful? Your mother looks much younger, doesn't she? The money wasn't wasted!"
"No, Mom, even if you have money, you can't spend it like this. I mean, Dad likes it, but you can't spend this much money. You're already so old, even if you get plastic surgery, your face will still look the same. Isn't this a waste of money? More than ten thousand yuan, and we haven't even seen anything. Isn't this money just going down the drain?"
Liang Lijun felt extremely distressed. This was such a waste of money! She only spent a hundred or two hundred yuan on a facial, but this old lady spent ten thousand. If she spent so much, her father's meager savings would be gone. She was so busy working for this old lady.
"Mom, you've been frugal your whole life, and now you're spending money so extravagantly," Cao Jun said, expressing his disapproval.
"Seeing how heartbroken you two are, it's like I've ripped out your hearts to spend your money," Sister Liu sneered.
Liang Lijun...you're dead, so all the money belongs to them, of course they'll spend it.
"Mom, it's fine if you want to look beautiful, everyone has a love for beauty, but this expense is a bit too much for you. But it's okay, just this once. You can live a good life with my father-in-law from now on." Cao Jun felt that his mother wanted to leave a good impression on her father-in-law. After all, his wife always said that her father-in-law didn't like his mother, so his mother was probably just being stubborn.
Sister Liu rolled her eyes at Cao Jun. "I didn't spend your money, so it's none of your business. Hurry up and put away your meager savings. Who are you trying to embarrass? It's like you're giving alms to a beggar."
"Mom, I left in a hurry and didn't bring that much cash. You can use this for now," Cao Jun said, pushing the money away.
"I didn't bring any cash. There's an ATM at the entrance of the alley. Go there and withdraw some," Sister Liu said, looking at her son with a forced smile.
"Mom, a thousand is a lot. Don't think that just because Dad is well-off, he can spend money recklessly. Our family is a family that lives a very frugal life," Liang Lijun quickly said. Did she think that because her family was well-off, they could spend money however they wanted?
Sister Liu snorted, scratched her scalp with a needle, and continued making the quilt. "Who in their right mind would buy such clothes? I can't possibly be a match for your father's status."
"Look at you, you're just saying that out of anger. If I hadn't said that my dad likes pretty girls, would you have bothered to dress yourself up like this? We're all family, so stop being so hypocritical." This mother-in-law had been frugal her whole life, and now she was doing her hair and face. Isn't it because she's taken a liking to her dad and is very satisfied with this marriage?
Sister Liu: "Your dad likes pretty girls? Who doesn't like pretty girls? Stop talking nonsense. It's getting late, don't force yourself on me if you have something to say, go do what you need to do."
“Mom is right. Who doesn’t like to look pretty? Honey, you have your card with you, right? Let’s go get some money for Mom.” Cao Jun stopped Liang Lijun, preventing her from escalating the conflict.
Liang Lijun suppressed her temper and followed Cao Jun out.
Sister Liu glanced at the two people leaving, humming a little tune, never expecting to make some money back.
Cao Jun and Liang Lijun left the courtyard.
"Why hasn't your mother found an old man all these years? Has she already set her sights on my father?" Liang Lijun questioned. She had wanted to say this from inside the house. Otherwise, why would she spend all that money to make that old man look better?
Cao Jun… “Are you sick? Since we got married, my mom and your dad have only met twice. What’s so special about your dad? Stop being so self-righteous, okay?”
"Then tell me why your mother dresses up so much, spending over ten thousand on her hair and face. Does her old face even deserve it?"
Cao Jun said, "My mom was just saying that in anger. If she said it was more than ten thousand, then it was more than ten thousand. If she said it was a million, would you believe her? My mom is the kind of person who would rather split every penny in half. How could she possibly spend so much money on herself? She would be heartbroken if she spent two or three hundred. She was just trying to make us angry."
Liang Lijun agreed with Cao Jun, and her anger subsided considerably. "If it's only two or three hundred, I'll just spend it. She does look much younger than before, and even more fashionable than my dad, that old lady. My dad would definitely be happy."
"Money shouldn't be wasted. My mom has listened to what we said, she's just being stubborn now. Let's go along with her a bit, give her a way out, and if she saves face, things with your dad will naturally fall into place."
Cao Jun was good at persuasion, and Liang Lijun thought he made sense.
"Alright, I won't hold it against your mom. Shall we really get the money for her?"
