Twenty yuan was enough to make Zhao Erling, who was holding her child on the bed, look upset.
Zhao Erling has always known that her lazy mother-in-law is stingy, but she didn't know she could be so stingy. In order to get back the 200 yuan betrothal gift, she even didn't let go of her chance to have a child.
Zhao Erling made a direct and harsh statement.
"Mao Daxing, we can pay you back the 200 yuan, but if you dare to ask for even a penny more, I'll just have to decide whether I'll ever live with you again!"
Mao Daxing's face tightened.
Qin Xiang'e was also afraid that Zhao Erling would be disliked by her in-laws, so she quickly said, "Erniu, what nonsense are you talking about!"
Zhao Erling snorted coldly, holding the child and turning away.
Mao Daxing's mother saw this and immediately laughed and said, "Look at what this has caused. Lingzi, why are you so angry? You said you won't give more, so I won't ask for more, okay? Just the two hundred, I won't ask for a penny more, and for the rest, just consider it a loss, okay?"
Look, even at this point you still want to take advantage of others with your words.
"What a losing business...it's so harsh to say." Qin Zheng snorted in displeasure.
Ye Yun blinked.
After two seconds of silence, she cast her gaze towards Mao Daxing and smiled amiably, "Second brother-in-law, you said that the birth party was organized by the grandparents of the child?"
Mao Daxing nodded.
Seeing this, Ye Yun looked at Mao Daxing's mother again, still smiling: "Aunt, if we return the betrothal money to you, will you buy a birthday wine for the child according to custom?"
"What you said, kid, is that even if you don't pay it back, I still have to do my part," said Mao Daxing's mother.
Look, you're still saying nice things.
This kind of smiling tiger is the most annoying, as if he can't speak properly.
It doesn't make you angry to death, but it makes you feel disgusted.
"Just tell me whether you can do it or not." Ye Yun said directly.
Mao Daxing's mother saw Ye Yun's serious expression, glanced at Zhao Erling on the bed, and stopped pretending, "If you return the betrothal money to us, then his father and I will naturally have money to hold a wedding."
"Okay, we will."
Ye Yun nodded.
"Not only will I pay you back the principal, but I'll also give you an extra twenty dollars in interest."
"Really?" Mao Daxing's mother's eyes lit up and she slapped her thigh, "Let's do it! Then his grandfather and I will go find someone right away and we'll have a wedding banquet tomorrow!"
After saying this, he walked out with a happy face.
"etc."
Ye Yun called her and the corners of her lips slowly curved up.
Mao Daxing's mother didn't know what was going on, so she asked smugly, "What's wrong?"
"Aunt, if I'm not mistaken, since the birth party was hosted by grandpa and grandma, then the cost of the daughter-in-law's childbirth should also be paid by the child's grandpa and grandma, right?" After Ye Yun finished speaking, she cast her gaze to Mao Daxing who was standing aside.
Mao Daxing nodded blankly, "Yes, the cost of giving birth to the child is also paid by the grandparents."
That's it.
Ye Yun waved at Qin Zheng and Lao Si, "You two can tell Auntie how much we paid for Second Sister's medical expenses during her hospitalization."
Qin Zheng: "A total of 66.7 yuan for five days."
“More than that!”
The fourth brother's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly added, "My second sister had a difficult delivery, and she had a fever for three days after giving birth. The bill for her discharge from the hospital was 66.7 yuan, which included her medical treatment and the baby's milk. But my brother paid not only that, but also living expenses!"
"During the days in the hospital, in order to help my second sister produce milk, my mother stewed an old hen and a fish every day, which cost at least three yuan a day!"
"And the bedding and meals we sent to my brother-in-law, these are calculated at 50 cents a day, plus the chicken and fish, it's 3.5 yuan, five days is 17.5 yuan, plus the hospital fees is 74.2 yuan!"
After saying that, Lao Si demonstrated the gesture of seventy-four yuan and two cents to everyone one by one.
Ye Yun looked at Mao Daxing's mother with a smile, "Aunt, I'll round off the number for you. Just give me seventy-four. Two hundred and two minus seventy-four, we need one hundred and forty-six from you, right?"
Mao Daxing's mother was stunned.
He stared at Ye Yun blankly, blinked, and the smile on his face could no longer be maintained.
Ye Yun kept smiling and said, "Aunt, don't you like to laugh? Don't you like to settle accounts?"
"Then I'll settle accounts with you with a smile, okay?"
Mao Daxing's mother's face froze.
Zhao Erling looked at Ye Yun with admiration and gave her a thumbs up.
Then she heaved a long sigh of relief, turned around and said to Mao Daxing without letting him refuse: "Mao Daxing, am I right?"
Mao Daxing had a headache.
He was anxious to put an end to this farce, and nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, yes, one hundred and forty-six, that is one hundred and forty-six, mother, go find the person who is going to host the banquet!"
After saying that, he pushed his mother out of the house.
The door closed with a bang.
Without Mao Daxing's weird attitude, the atmosphere finally returned to normal.
Qin Xiang'e felt sorry for her daughter Zhao Erling. Seeing that the little girl had fallen asleep, she put a pillow under the head of the bed and asked Zhao Erling to lie down and rest as well, telling her not to sit with the teacher, otherwise she would have back pain when she got older.
Zhao Erling looked worried.
"Mom, how are you going to pay back this money..."
She was well aware of her mother's family's conditions. Her dowry was used to pay for the fourth child's schooling. They have also borrowed money from everywhere over the years and probably haven't even paid off their foreign debts.
"Erniu, don't worry." Qin Xiang'e patted her hands with a smile and glanced at Qin Zheng and Ye Yun behind her. "Zhengzi and his wife taught me how to make mung bean cakes. I have saved a lot of money these days."
Hearing this, Zhao Erling looked at Qin Zheng and Ye Yun behind Qin Xiang'e with gratitude.
"Zhengzi, Yeyun, thank you." She said seriously, with a slight blush at the corners of her eyes.
