Seeing Liu Yun like this, Chen Xi felt a little uncomfortable. "Fourth sister-in-law is really enjoying herself! She only comes when it's time to eat."
Just as Liu Yun was about to retort, Zheng Mulan spoke up, "Food can't shut you up. The food in the pot and bowl was all bought by Fourth Brother and his wife."
Zheng Mulan knew what kind of people her two daughters-in-law were. To be honest, when it came to getting along, she preferred the fourth son and his wife.
Although the fourth son is a bit annoying, he has no ill intentions towards the elderly couple and is wholeheartedly devoted to them.
But the second and third sons are still keeping an eye on how much stuff the old couple has.
Although they hadn't known each other for long, the fourth son's wife was quite perceptive. She could tell from her observation that the fourth son's wife was a big spender and didn't seem to care much about how much she had.
Putting everything else aside, just take bringing things home. Over the years, apart from the fourth and eldest sons, I've never seen anyone think of buying anything for the family.
Although she didn't expect it, she would still give money to the fourth son's wife for the things she bought, but at least the fourth son and his wife meant well.
Chen Xi and Gao Lan immediately shut up when they heard their mother-in-law's words. So many things, and all good things at that, must cost a lot of money! They weren't going to buy them; they needed them too!
After dinner, Zheng Mulan prepared a red envelope for everyone. Liu Yun saw that everyone else had accepted one, so she accepted one too.
When Liu Yun opened the package that evening, she was stunned to see the price: sixty-six.
Liu Yun: "Do you always give such big red envelopes? How could you cheat me? We only gave our parents ten yuan each."
Yu Qianhe didn't expect his parents to give his wife so much money. "We usually give each of us ten yuan every year. It's the same for my brother's wedding. This should be money your parents gave you to buy groceries. Don't say anything, we'll just keep it."
Liu Yun: "We don't need that much! This is way too much! How about we give Mom and Dad a New Year's red envelope tomorrow?"
Yu Qianhe reached out and pulled the person over, "No need, my brother and his family won't give it to you either. Don't worry, my parents have plenty of money. If they don't give it to you, my two sisters-in-law have plenty of ways to get it. Don't worry about it so much in the future. Just accept whatever they give you. My dad likes it that way. In his words, he doesn't mince words."
Hearing this, Liu Yun's eyes flickered. "Really?"
Yu Qianhe: "Really."
Liu Yun: "Okay."
Then she wouldn't stand on ceremony.
And so, the following scene unfolded at the Yu family's home.
Every few days, Liu Yun would ask Yu Qianhe to send some things back to the old house, and Yu Qianhe would also bring money back from time to time.
Not only that, the two would also go back to the old house every few days to freeload meals, on the grounds that living in a large courtyard was inconvenient, and that if they ate something good, the windows would be crowded with people. Of course, the two never went back empty-handed.
Liu Yun happily counted her money every day, and Yu Qianhe didn't suspect anything, since he had even more at home and just thought it was his wife being filial to her parents.
Zheng Mulan and Yu Jiefang also remarked that their youngest daughter-in-law was truly filial, and their youngest son had become much more sensible after getting married.
I never expected that Liu Yun was clearing out her inventory.
Not long after, Liu Yun found out she was pregnant, which made Zheng Mulan extremely happy. Her youngest son was finally going to have a child. Her three older brothers at the same age already had children who were old enough to run errands, and they had more than one child each.
Both Zheng Mulan and Yu Jiefang had to work and didn't have time to take care of the pregnant woman, so they could only try to supplement her income in other ways. Yu Jiefang asked his friends to get a lot of food, and Zheng Mulan gave him the money.
The first two daughters-in-law were like this, so the younger daughter-in-law naturally couldn't be any different.
Liu Yun was stunned when she received the gifts. "Are Mom and Dad so rich? They give me money in hundred-yuan increments? Dad even managed to get his hands on mutton?"
Yu Qianhe: "I mentioned it to Dad, but I guess the money given to my sister-in-law and the others might not be that much. Don't tell anyone."
Liu Yun: "Don't worry, I know."
Liu Yun was overjoyed. She never expected her in-laws to be so rich. In Liu's family, the whole family would fight tooth and nail for a few dozen yuan, but in Yu's family, her mother-in-law would casually give her a hundred yuan.
She provided food, supplements, and money; even in the 21st century, it's rare to find a mother-in-law like that.
Although Chen Xi and Gao Lan were envious of Zheng Mulan's actions, they didn't say anything, since Zheng Mulan had done the same thing when they had their children.
Of course, they didn't know how much money Zheng Mulan gave Liu Yun, otherwise they would have made a scene.
It's not that Zheng Mulan is biased. Although she does have some bias towards the fourth son, she is still fair in her actions.
The reason she gave so much money was because when Chen Xi and Gao Lan were pregnant, the family had some good things and gave them to them. Even if they didn't receive any, the elderly couple would come to ask for things whenever they needed them, so they would find a way to get them and send them over.
However, since Liu Yun was pregnant, the two of them never came to ask for anything. They usually had what they needed at home, and Yu Qian would find a way to get other things on his own. They would only ask Yu Jiefang for help if they had absolutely nothing else.
Even Yu Jiefang and Zheng Mulan didn't know what to give, because every time they went to their place, they saw a kitchen that was completely full.
Not only that, the two often brought things back to the old house to eat with Yu Jiefang and Zheng Mulan.
The excuses about how it's hard to cook over there were just that Zheng Mulan and Yu Jiefang thought were just that—excuses. They only said it so that the two elders could eat better food.
After all, everyone lives like this nowadays, and who doesn't steal food from others? But who would know if they stole food? So, the excuse that it's hard to cook is definitely wrong.
That's why Zheng Mulan chose to give more money. Since everything was already provided, she decided to give Yu Qian more money so that she and he could buy it.
Liu Yun and Yu Qian were unaware of Zheng Mulan and Yu Jiefang's thoughts.
They often went back to the old house because they couldn't cook well. As for bringing back good food each time, it was mainly because they wanted to cook something delicious. But when they cooked, the food smelled so good that it would spread, and the children in the compound would come down to the windows. They would not only ask for the food, but also steal it.
That's why the two brought it back to the old house. It's true that they wanted Zheng Mulan and Yu Jiefang to eat better food, because even if they cooked at home, they would send a portion to them.
