Chapter 258: Instigation (Page 1/2)
Yang Huiling nodded confidently and replied, "That's right! That's a full 14,000 yuan, which will be divided equally among the four children, including my sister-in-law, of course.
As for the rest, I guess it will be left to my grandchildren."
I really didn’t expect that the old man had saved so much money. Could it be that he didn’t spend much money over the years?
The 14,000 yuan was divided equally among the four children, and their family could get 3,500 yuan.
If it was only distributed among the three brothers, their family would be able to get a full 4,666.66 yuan!
Du Xiaojuan couldn't help but smile and said, "Oh, my father-in-law has accumulated such a huge fortune!"
Yang Huiling nodded in agreement, praising him, "My father-in-law's salary is indeed quite generous. He lives on his own with very few expenses, and he's very frugal, saving all his money."
"Our father-in-law is truly remarkable. As his children, we have failed to fulfill our filial duties. We feel truly ashamed. Faced with this amount of money, it's difficult for our family to even bring ourselves to accept it."
Du Xiaojuan went on to say, "If we reduce the participation of one more household in the distribution of the money, each household will be able to receive nearly 4,700 yuan."
Upon hearing this number, Yang Huiling was stunned for a moment, with a myriad of thoughts running through her mind.
She thought to herself that if she didn't let her sister-in-law participate in the money distribution, their family would get an extra 1,166 yuan.
With this money, she can use it to buy a satisfactory job for her nephews Yang Jun and Yang Hong.
At this moment, Yang Huiling was extremely conflicted. How should she remind Du Xiaojuan that her sister-in-law was already married and should not get a share of the money?
"Juanzi, everyone likes to say that once a daughter is married, she is like water spilled, and it cannot be taken back. I think that since my sister-in-law has been married to the He family for so many years, she is a member of the He family, don't you think?"
Du Xiaojuan knew what Yang Huiling wanted to do. She just wanted to instigate her to make trouble with her father-in-law. She did want to get more money, but she was not a fool.
She smiled and agreed, "Fourth sister-in-law is right. Marry a chicken, follow the chicken; marry a dog, follow the dog. Once we marry into the Huo family, we are members of the Huo family and we must consider the Huo family..."
Du Xiaojuan's mind was as clear as a mirror. She knew very well that Fourth Sister-in-law was not stupid at all and would not be easily deceived. So she followed Fourth Sister-in-law's wishes and echoed with feigned surprise:
"That's right! As the saying goes, if you marry a chicken, you follow the chicken; if you marry a dog, you follow the dog. Since my sister-in-law has married into the He family, she is naturally a member of the He family. Logically speaking, after she gets married, she really shouldn't..."
Without even thinking, Yang Huiling blurted out, "Juanzi, from what you're saying, do you also think that since my sister-in-law has married into the He family, she shouldn't get a share of my father-in-law's money, right?"
Du Xiaojuan smiled slightly and responded slowly: "This matter is not up to us to decide!
However, we are all my father-in-law's children, and he only has my sister-in-law as his precious daughter.
If I really don’t give my sister-in-law a penny, it seems a bit unreasonable!
Unless, my sister-in-law is too shy to ask for the money."
Yang Huiling wondered to herself, given her sister-in-law's personality, how could she possibly give up such a large sum of money? The answer was obviously no.
Du Xiaojuan is a very cunning person. She even wants to instigate her to make trouble in front of her father-in-law, but she is not a fool.
If anyone wants to make a fuss, Du Xiaojuan should be the one to do it. After all, she had spent a lot of money to buy a job for each of her two children in order to prevent them from going to the countryside. Her son and daughter are now of marriageable age and need a lot of money.

"Juanzi, how many months older is your Xiaoxi than our Wenjing? Yanyan is over a year older than our Yaoyao. It's time for these two siblings to start dating, right?"
Du Xiaojuan smiled and said, "My Xiaoxi is only 21 years old. Qingci and Qingyan both got married at the age of 24. My Xi'er can get married later.
As for my Yanyan, she pursues free love and is expected to get married next year."
Yang Huiling smiled awkwardly, "Oh, I see. My son Wenjing won't be twenty-one until the Little New Year, so there's no rush for us. It's fine to wait a couple of years before finding a partner."
"How are you going to deal with Wen Jing's job? Fourth sister-in-law, next time Wen Jing starts dating, you must keep an eye on him, lest he misjudge people again..."
Du Xiaojuan's bluntness made Yang Huiling roll her eyes. This person didn't wish her son well at all.
"You're talking about my son's job. Dad asked the factory manager to find a replacement, but he will reimburse us for the job purchase. My son Wenjing wants to learn how to drive, and Dad said he would introduce him to a skilled driver."
Du Xiaojuan couldn't understand why when her daughter Xier wanted to find a job and asked her father-in-law for help, her father-in-law told them to figure it out themselves.
Huo Wenjing's date with a spy brought trouble to the Huo family, and his father-in-law even found a driver for him.
My father-in-law has five grandsons in total. His favorite is the eldest grandson Huo Qingci, and it seems that the one he dislikes the most is her son Huo Xi.
When Du Xiaojuan thought of this, she felt a little uncomfortable and didn't want to continue chatting with Yang Huiling.
"Fourth sister-in-law, I have something to do. Let's talk another day."
"Okay, let's talk some other time."
Seeing that Du Xiaojuan's expression finally changed, Yang Huiling secretly rejoiced in her heart. This smiling tiger can finally stop smiling, right?
New Year's Day is on Thursday, so the school is closed for half a day and students don't have to attend evening self-study classes.
At 8:46 in the morning, Lin Man had just finished teaching the first Chinese class to Class 102 and was about to return to the office.
Huo Qinghuan came over carrying a large bag. He stood at the classroom door, looked at Lin Man and said with a smile, "Teacher Lin, I have something to talk to you about. My mother asked me to bring you these foods."
Lin Man was afraid that the students would misunderstand, so she said to Huo Qinghuan: "Qinghuan, you should just call me sister-in-law!"
Then she said to all the students, "Huo Qinghuan from Class 1 is my brother-in-law. He helped my mother-in-law deliver some things."
Lei Ming exclaimed, "Originally, the third-place student in our school was Teacher Lin's brother-in-law. Huo Qinghuan, let's play together when we have time!"
Huo Qinghuan smiled and said, "Okay, I'll come to play with your Class 2 sometimes."
After Lin Man explained Qingci, she took Huo Qinghuan to the corridor and asked, "Qingci, what did Mom ask you to bring over?"
"Mom bought cotton shoes and hats for Ningning and An'an, as well as a bag of rice candy."
"This afternoon is a holiday, come back with me and play!"
"Sister-in-law, is my cousin going to the Lin family to discuss the betrothal gift today?"
Lin Man nodded. "Yes, your eldest brother switched shifts yesterday so that he could have a rest today. He worked both the day and night shifts."
"Sister-in-law, aren't you going to the Lin family for lunch?"
"No, I have to go back to cook for grandpa and take care of An An and Ning Ning. Do you want to go back with me after school?"
Huo Qinghuan nodded and said "Okay", and Lin Man said, "Wait until after school, wait for me at the school gate, I'll go back to the dormitory to get some things."
"I understand, sister-in-law. I'll go back to the classroom first."
"Go back!"
