Shumei was really disappointed for the old aunt. The old aunt loved Wencai so much, but Wencai was so worrying.
"Alright! Stop talking nonsense, you're acting like my mom. This is just this once, and it won't happen again. I'm also forced to do so. I'm going to the boss today..."
Wencai told Shumei exactly what he had said to persuade his brother, and successfully won Shumei's sympathy. Shumei promised to keep the matter a secret and not mention it to anyone.
The two returned to the courtyard in good terms. Shumei returned the 20 yuan Wencai had given her, and Wencai accepted it without hesitation. It was money! How could he think it was too much? Of course, the more the better.
Shumei is such a person. If something is hers, she will do her best to fight for it. If it is not hers, she will not take a penny more.
As soon as I entered the house, the old aunt came up to me with a smile, "You're back? Did you have fun?"
"Happy, how could she not be happy? With my resourceful Li Wencai accompanying her, how could Shumei not have fun?" Wencai rushed back.
"Okay, as long as you're happy. Eh? Didn't I ask you to take Shumei to buy two decent clothes? Where are the clothes?"
The old lady looked at the two of them with empty hands and Shumei still wearing the clothes she had worn when she went out that morning, and asked in confusion.
"This...this...Shumei has been choosing for a long time but hasn't found a suitable one. Let's go another day. Mom, I've been shopping for most of the day and my legs are almost broken. I'm going back to my room to rest for a while." Wencai said as he returned to his room with his briefcase.
Shumei also quickly took the opportunity to slip away, she was afraid that she would let the cat out of the bag, "Auntie, I'm going to prepare dinner."
In this way, Wencai quickly gathered 2,000 yuan. Everything was ready, except for the east wind. He lay in bed, looking forward to the big battle in two days, imagining himself becoming the richest man in town.
What would I do first when I had the money? I'd buy the most expensive gear, go to the largest Paramount in the county, and have a blast for three days and three nights, drinking to my heart's content and enjoying the company of beautiful women.
Wencai was fantasizing and couldn't help laughing out loud.
From then on, Shumei lived in fear every moment. She and Wencai conspired to deceive her aunt. She felt really conflicted and uncomfortable. Many times she almost told her aunt that there was nothing between her and Wencai.
The day to go to the battlefield finally arrived. Tianwen got up early, dressed up carefully, and waited for Zhaoyang to pick him up.
"Wencai, you're dressed quite nicely today. It's true that clothes make the man, and you look like a completely different person."
Wencai walked out of the room, sat at the square table, and prepared to have breakfast. The old aunt who was already having breakfast saw Wencai's energetic appearance and couldn't help but praise him a few times.
"Of course, I'm my mother's son! My mother is so beautiful and charming, how can my son be any worse?"
"You! You haven't gotten over your bad habit of talking nonsense."
The old lady finished speaking and continued to eat. Shumei brought the last dish of appetizer to the table and prepared to pick up Xiao Shitou and feed him.
Unexpectedly, the old aunt suddenly called Shumei and asked her to come to the table to eat. Shumei refused again and again, but the old aunt was very firm in her opinion.
However, the old aunt's reason was indeed very sufficient. She said that Shumei was not only the nanny of the family, but also her daughter-in-law who had not yet married into the family. It was reasonable and moral for the whole family to have dinner together.
Shumei had no choice but to agree reluctantly and carefully sat down on the chair. Sitting in this comfortable chair, she felt uncomfortable all over, as if she was sitting on a pin and needle mat.
Shumei could reluctantly accept the idea of having a meal, but she didn't expect that what happened next would make it impossible for her to agree to it again.
The old lady actually said that she had asked Meng Li to find a new nanny. She said Shumei was Wencai's girlfriend and that she couldn't be allowed to do the nanny's job anymore. At least, in name, people couldn't still think Shumei was the Li family's nanny. She had to let Shumei become the future daughter-in-law in a legitimate way.
Change the nanny? If she doesn't want to be a nanny anymore, I will be even more ashamed to stay. This damn Wencai, after going around in circles, finally kicked me out.
"Auntie, are you going to drive me away?"
"Silly child, why are you being chased away? You can still live here, but you won't have to do the dirty work. Just cultivate your relationship with Wencai and become a part of our family soon."
"But, no merit, no reward. How can I have the nerve to live here and eat and drink for free?"
"How about this! Wencai, later on, you will accompany Shumei back to her home, bring some gifts, and inform her family of your relationship. Then, we can arrange a time for the adults from both sides to meet and finalize the marriage."
The old aunt has very avant-garde ideas. Not only does she not object to Shumei and her friends' free love, but she also eagerly hopes that they will get married so that she can put her mind at ease.
Shumei was terrified when she heard this. She had been cooperating with Wencai in the first place, so how could things have deteriorated to such an extent that they were even discussing marriage? If her mother-in-law really knew about her extramarital affair, she would be so angry that she would be humiliated.
Wencai was in a hurry to make a fortune today, so he didn't have time to meet his fake father-in-law and mother-in-law. When he heard what the old aunt said, he was even more anxious than Shumei, and quickly jumped out to refuse before Shumei.
"Mom, let's do it another day! The company has a big order today and I have to go to discuss it. I can't take a leave." Wencai made up an excuse to fool the old aunt.
"Is the order more important or is my wife more important?"
"Mom, before I went out to look for a job, you urged me to go out and find one every day. Do you want me to stay at home and be lazy, eating and drinking your food?" Wencai lied confidently and with evidence.
