"Second sister-in-law, you're wrong about that. How am I on the same side as eldest sister-in-law? Didn't you say so?"
Sun Honghua was really trying to annoy her. They're sisters-in-law, after all. When she had her first child, she didn't have any milk and didn't have money to buy formula. Her second sister-in-law had just given birth to her third child and had plenty of milk. She thought she could help feed the baby for a few days, but her second sister-in-law insisted that she didn't have much milk either, just enough for one child.
In the end, the older sister-in-law took the baby and found a woman in the same village who had just given birth to feed the baby for a few days.
Then she went back to her parents' home and asked her older brother to use his connections to buy her a can of milk powder and send it over, without even asking for money.
That's why she was willing to lend money to Minghan to do business before, all in repayment for her sister-in-law's kindness.
Originally, she wouldn't have complained if her second sister-in-law really didn't have enough breast milk, but she clearly had extra breast milk. It was her second son who let it slip that his mother forced him to drink his younger brother's milk every day, which made him vomit.
She ignored her second sister-in-law for half a year because of this. She knew it was because her family was poor, and the other woman thought that her breast milk was made from good food and that she shouldn't let them have it.
However, when her two sons built houses, the uncle and aunt still lent them money, thinking that their parents' affairs were none of their children's business.
But now the more I think about it, the angrier I get. My second sister-in-law hasn't changed at all. She only gives you benefits, and you can't get anything from her.
"I'm not talking to you anymore, I'm going to cook." Knowing she was in the wrong, Bai Tingmei waved her hand and pushed Sun Honghua out of her yard, heading straight back into the house.
Sun Honghua really wanted to slap herself a few times. She really doesn't learn from her mistakes. She knows that she gets angry every time she argues with her second sister-in-law, but she never learns her lesson. She deserves it.
Thinking this, she lightly slapped her face; she was so angry.
Granny Liu also voiced her concerns, "Minghan, is it alright to borrow money without discussing it with Xuemei? If you two start arguing, your third aunt will feel terribly guilty."
She knew that her sister-in-law was a kind-hearted person, and if Minghan and his wife argued about this, she definitely wouldn't be able to sleep well at night.
Xu Minghan laughed and explained, "Mom, don't worry, Xuemei isn't that kind of person. Besides, it's a loan to Third Aunt, Xuemei will definitely agree wholeheartedly. She knows how good Third Aunt is to our family, how could she argue with me!"
Xu Minghan was speaking from the heart. He and his wife had both experienced a previous life. When they bought their new house, their third aunt helped them a lot with money. Of course, Xiao Shi, who was abroad, also sent some money. Xiao Shi must have found out by calling her third aunt. Otherwise, how could someone living abroad know that they were short of money for buying a house?
Hearing this, Granny Liu was relieved and nodded repeatedly. "That's good. But you should still talk to Xuemei about it when you have time. Husbands and wives should be honest with each other and discuss everything."
But I forgot to ask you, did you take the family savings book with you when you went back to the village? What, isn't Xuemei in charge of your money? Minghan, listen to your mother, it's better for the woman to manage the money in a family. Look at me, I'm a perfect example! Women are naturally better at managing a household than men.”
"Mom, what are you saying!" Xu Minghan was both amused and exasperated. Other mothers-in-law would love for all the money to be in their sons' hands, but in his family, she favored her daughter-in-law completely.
Grandma Liu thought her son didn't want to hand over the family finances to his wife, so she earnestly advised him, "Minghan, Mom won't harm you. Look at Xu Weiming, isn't he a perfect example? He earned money outside and kept it all for himself, not giving a single penny to his wife, and now look what happened, he even had a mistress outside..."
"Mom, they've already registered their marriage and had a baby, so please stop calling them 'little' all the time." Xu Minghan was afraid that his mother would slip up and say it in front of the other person.
Granny Liu glared at him and said dismissively, "How could I not know? I'm just giving you an example. Listen to me first. Where were we? It's all your fault for interrupting me. I can't remember."
"Xu Weiming has found a mistress," Xu Minghan sighed and added.
"Yes, yes, she said she was pregnant with a son and couldn't wait to divorce Zou Yu. Now look what's happened, Chen Chunfeng is cursing her every day! How can she be happy if she has a girl?"
Granny Liu wasn't saying this to mock anyone, but to warn her son not to get carried away just because he has some money, lest he be seduced by some wild woman and cause trouble for Xuemei and the children.
"Mom, I know what you mean. I haven't even said anything yet and you've already said so much. Don't worry, Xuemei manages the money at home. This time, she gave me a savings account with only some money for daily use in it. It's not much, only about 20,000 or 30,000 yuan. Isn't she just worried that I might need money someday?"
Xu Minghan wanted to come back for a while this time because he was really worried about his mother taking care of the two children. On the other hand, he knew that Xiao Shi was going abroad to work during this period, and his aunt's family urgently needed money. He thought that since his family also had some, he should help out. So Xuemei gave him the small savings book. Most of their family's money was still in fixed deposits.
“What money can you possibly have? It’s not much, just twenty or thirty thousand, not two or three hundred. You can’t carry so much money next time. I need to talk to Xuemei. Men really shouldn’t carry too much money; it’s too attractive.”
Granny Liu thought her third daughter-in-law was too generous. Giving her two or three hundred was too much. As long as a man can make money, that's fine. Just like the old man, he just works hard to earn money and then gives it to her. They've lived a peaceful and stable life. Isn't that great?
"Okay, okay, I'll return the passbook when I get back. You're a really good mother-in-law." Xu Minghan nodded indifferently. As long as his mother and wife could get along well, he didn't mind suffering a little.
"Hey, Mom, Xu Weiming's divorced has been going on for about two months now, right? Zou Yu went back to her parents' house and didn't say she'd find someone else? Her ex-husband already has a child, shouldn't she hurry up and find someone?"
Xu Minghan asked this question purely because he wanted to hear gossip. Now that he didn't have a phone to use, he could only listen to oral gossip.
Granny Liu glanced at him and asked curiously, "Why are you meddling so much? Tell me, are you plotting something?"
"Mom, you've really wronged me. What bad intentions could I possibly have? I'm just a little curious."
Granny Liu pursed her lips and said, "You're just like your father, how come you like to listen to all this gossip like a woman! But, I do know a little inside story, Zou Yu might be getting remarried."
"Then Mom, do you know where she married?" Xu Minghan quickly asked, "She should still be married to Xu Yaoping, right?"
