Ye Qiu and Meng Ning, mother and daughter, were sitting at the door of Meng's house chatting.
"Mom, sister." Shen Qingli opened the car door and got out without waiting for Meng Xiao to come over.
"Sister-in-law, long time no see. Brother Xiao."
Meng Ning has a bright and elegant appearance, and at first glance, she has a very cheerful personality.
"Sister." Meng Xiao opened the trunk, carried the things and walked over to stand in front of Meng Ning.
"Come in, don't stand outside." Ye Qiu called out and pulled Shen Qingli inside.
Meng Ning walked behind and watched his mother and his younger siblings get along naturally without any barriers, and a hint of envy flashed in his eyes.
In fact, the best way for a mother-in-law and a daughter-in-law to get along is not to live together, keep a distance, and respect each other. They can seem cordial when they meet occasionally. But how can it be possible to live under the same roof every day and say that they are as close as mother and daughter?
If she is unhappy with her own mother, she will argue and throw herself at her, let alone her mother-in-law?
She got a headache when she thought of the annoying mother-in-law at home. Her mother Ye Qiu was very open-minded and had a young mentality, so it was easy for her to get along well with Shen Qingli.
Her old woman is like a vampire!
In pursuit of so-called love, she spent four and a half years of her five-year marriage before completely separating from her mother-in-law.
My husband is a foolishly filial son. He has handed over all his salary for more than four years. Half of his salary is used to support the family and the other half has to be handed over.
Even this is thanks to the occasional help from my parents. This year, they had a complete falling out, and I couldn't help but make a scene and sent my mother-in-law away. I was able to keep the other half of my salary for the past six months.
But I still have to pay my husband's dues, because I was blinded by love at the time.
Damn, she'd endured it all for four or five years. I don't know how she'd gotten through those years! But now, as long as she could separate from her mother-in-law, anything was fine!
Let her husband be what he wants! Fortunately, they have no children. She has already filed for divorce, and the man simply hides at work and doesn't come home.
Why did I fall in love with him like a fool back then?
Oh! I can’t think about it! I can’t even mention it! My head hurts just thinking about it!
"Big sister? Big sister?"
After being gently pushed by Meng Kexin, she came back to her senses and found that Meng Kexin was standing in front of her, holding some...cloth?
Bag?
It seems there is something inside.
"What is this? A cloth bag? For carrying things? It's pretty nice, and it's much more convenient to carry than a shoulder bag."
Meng Ning looked at the canvas bag in Meng Kexin's hand with curiosity.
"This is a bag my sister-in-law made herself. What's it called? Oh, it's called a canvas bag. It looks nice, right? It's very sturdy. There are skin care products in it. Don't you want them?"
Meng Kexin handed one of the three bags in her hand to Meng Ning.
Meng Ning took it but didn't look at it immediately. Instead, he took out a stack of big unity notes from his pocket:
"Qingli, I can't take your money for free. How much do you think it's worth?"
She is just a married sister-in-law. How can she let her new sister-in-law give her free things all the time? She would be embarrassed to do so. She doesn't have the nerve to do that...
Shen Qingli was about to say no when Meng Kexin answered, "Fifty yuan, that's the price I paid for my friend."
Meng Ning was a little stunned when he heard the price, but he quickly reacted and pulled out a few Great Unity tickets to hand to Shen Qingli. Although it was expensive, the effect was good! Worth it!
"Here, take it."
Shen Qingli smiled:
"No need, big sister. We are a family. Why would we need any money? Just take it and use it. It's okay."
Meng Ning and Shen Qingli refused several times, but Shen Qingli refused to take her money.
Finally she winked gently:
"Sister, I don't want it even if you give it to me! I definitely won't take the money. If you feel embarrassed, just help me sell it if someone else wants it."
Meng Ning no longer refused and planned to secretly give it to Meng Xiao later.
"Needless to say, I'll recommend it to you. My skin has improved a lot. Several people at work have asked me about it. I told them I'd get back to them after I inquired about the price."
Although fifty is a bit expensive, it is a small problem for her colleagues in the railway unit who are not short of money and love beauty.
Ye Qiu was a little worried. "Is it troublesome to do all this? Will it be tiring?"
"I'm not tired, Mom. Don't worry."
She couldn't explain much now, so she could only go back and study up on the information about homemade cosmetics. Otherwise, if someone asked her about it in the future, she really wouldn't be able to answer.
Thinking of this, she also told Meng Kexin and Meng Ning that if others don’t take the initiative to ask for it, they should not recommend it to others.
Because it's inevitable that some people will exploit it, the individual economy hasn't been fully liberalized yet; full liberalization will have to wait until next year. This year, she plans to try it out with family and friends first, not with a big sales pitch.
Everyone understands.
——————
After having lunch and taking a nap with the Meng family, the two of them and the cat packed up their things and prepared to return to the family compound.
Ye Qiu took away almost all the meat, eggs, dried vegetables and other things that were edible and useful for the family. Meng Xiao didn't care, but he was mainly afraid of offending Shen Qingli.
Although I know that the couple is not short of money, it is still inconvenient for her to go out to buy groceries and other things when she is pregnant and it is winter.
Ye Qiu also specifically instructed Meng Xiao to buy groceries, cook, and take care of all the housework.
They both got in the car, and the old man told Meng Xiao to take good care of Shen Qingli, and if he had to go on a mission, he should call home and have them pick him up.
Shen Qingli and Meng Xiao were both at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
After the two left, the old man and Ye Qiu were not in a good mood. Meng Ning helplessly put his arm around his mother:
"If you want to go anytime, you can go. It's not that far away. Besides, your sister-in-law might be back in two or three months to give birth and take care of the baby.
Why are you and grandpa still feeling sad? In a few months, each of you will be happily holding a fat baby!
Instead of wasting your time, you two should prepare more things for my nephew, buy what you need, do what you need, and the days will pass quickly."
After hearing Meng Ning's words, the Meng family members were cheered up.
Yes! There are still things to do! Why bother feeling so bad?
The old man didn't need to use his cane anymore after the New Year. He walked steadily and turned around and walked quickly towards the yard:
"I'm going to continue reading books to name the baby~"
The agile and graceful manner of the dragon and tiger made everyone anxious and eager to chase after him.
