Chapter 204: The two in-laws clash - The sickly young lady's daily life of eating melons in the courtyard
"Sister-in-law and brother-in-law, you're back!" When Zhang Mei saw them, she stepped forward to stop them and greeted them, looking behind them from time to time.
"Yeah." Lin Qing nodded.
"Where is my Lin Shu? Why hasn't she come back yet?" Zhang Mei didn't care about Lin Qing's attitude. The focus of her visit today was not her.
"How should I know?" Lin Qing didn't expect Zhang Mei to ask this question.
She and Lin Shu have always had a bad relationship. As the instigator, wouldn't Zhang Mei be aware of this?
"How could you not know? You are my Lin Shu's aunt after all! You two married into the same courtyard, so you must take good care of her, right?"
At this point, Lin Qing rolled his eyes in annoyance, "Sister-in-law, how dare you say that?"
"What? Am I wrong? As an elder, shouldn't you take care of the younger generation more?"
"Ha!" Lin Qing sneered.
"What's your attitude?"
"Sister-in-law, what attitude do you want? I remember that our relationship is not that good!" Lin Qing stopped talking to her and directly pulled Cen Xi around her and went back.
Cen Xi didn't say a word during the whole process. Since he got involved in the women's war, he was bound to be accused of being insignificant.
"You, you, you...why did you just leave?" Zhang Mei muttered in a low voice.
What she just said and did was to establish her authority in front of Aunt Jiang. How could Lin Qing, her sister-in-law, not understand?
It's not like she really needs to take care of Lin Shu. Can't she even say something nice?
Oh my god!
Zhang Mei couldn't help but curl her lips.
She let out a light breath, turned around, and said to Aunt Jiang with a smile, "Alas, my sister-in-law has a bad temper." She looked as if she had no way to deal with Lin Qing.
Aunt Jiang snorted in her heart: Humph! If that little bitch Lin Qing could listen to her, she wouldn't be someone who would make them suffer as soon as she arrived!
Aunt Jiang didn't respond. Lin Qing was not someone she could deal with.
Zhang Mei was a little embarrassed when she saw that Jiang Da Ma didn't respond, so she quickly changed the subject, "Why haven't Xiao Shu and her son-in-law come back yet?"
"Maybe they have something to do. Sometimes they may have to work overtime and may not be able to come back on time!" Aunt Jiang was talking, and then she had an idea. "Why don't you ask for leave and go back first? Maybe they won't get off work so soon today. You can wait until they have a day off and then come to see them!"
Zhang Mei didn't want to go back now. Who knows if Lin Shu will still have money next time? She didn't plan to go back empty-handed today.
So I just pretended not to hear what Aunt Jiang said, "Haha, it's okay, I'll just wait for them here."
"How can you do that? If it's too late there won't be any buses going back." Every word Aunt Jiang said was out of consideration for the other person.
Zhang Mei didn't care. "Oh, what's the big deal? Doesn't my sister-in-law have a bicycle at home? It's late, so you can ask your son-in-law to take me home on his bicycle!"
Aunt Jiang really wanted to spit in her face, what a shameless person she was!
Lin Qing's attitude just now was very clear. He doesn't want to have anything to do with you. How dare you come to him and borrow his bicycle?
You even want my son to send you back. How shameless of you!
Fuck you!
"Haha, you really know how to joke."
"Where am I joking? I'm serious." Zhang Mei really didn't think about going back so early.
"Hehehe!" How shameless! You actually want to stay for dinner?
Zhang Mei refused to go back, so Aunt Jiang could only chat with her from time to time.
…
"Give it to me?" Zhang Mei reached out to Lin Shu immediately after pulling her into the room.
"What?"
"Money, where's your salary? Didn't you agree to give me some money for my retirement?"
"No." Lin Shu paused and shook his head.
"How could it be that there is no money? Didn't you just get paid today? Where's the money? Give it to me quickly." Zhang Mei didn't believe it and repeated, "Give it to me quickly. You just got paid today, how could there be no money?"
"I already said no!" Lin Shu said with a sullen face.
Zhang Mei looked at her steadily, "What nonsense are you talking about? How could there be nothing? Give it to me quickly."
"I told you it's gone, why don't you believe me?"
"And the money?"
"Money...money..." Lin Shu's eyes moved left and right, and finally he closed his eyes and said, "I've used up all of it!"
Zhang Mei raised her hand and slapped her on the shoulder, "What did you say? You used them all up?" Her tone was full of disbelief.
"Didn't I tell you that you would give us retirement money? How come you've used it all up?"
"Don't you say that a daughter who is married off is like water spilled out? Why do you want me to support you in your old age?"
"Since you were raised by my father, shouldn't I give you money for your upbringing? What's more, your aunt has already given you money, so how can you not give it?"
"Aunt, aunt, if you have the ability, let me be your daughter!" Lin Shu yelled angrily.
"What are you talking about? Have I been bad to you all these years? What's wrong with giving you some retirement money? I'm not asking you to give me all your salary!"
"No, there's no way I would give it to you. Brother Yang wouldn't agree to that either. He told me to give all my wages to my mother-in-law."
"Why give it to him? This is the job you found yourself, so of course you should keep the money you earn. Why would you give it to your mother-in-law?" Zhang Mei was angry.
Humph! Do I not want to keep it for myself? It's all because of you. If it weren't for you, would I say that?
"You just came back and you must not have given the money to your mother-in-law yet. Take out the money and give it to me now."
"It's gone, it's gone, I said it's gone, I spent it all."
"How could it be gone? Didn't you just get paid?"
"How can just a dozen bucks be enough to spend?" Lin Shu curled his lips and muttered softly.
"What do you mean by a dozen yuan? Are you talking about your salary of a dozen yuan? Why is it so little?" Zhang Mei remembered that her daughter had a formal job, so why was she only getting the salary of a temporary worker?
Lin Shu didn't say anything, so Zhang Mei started to think in her mind, "Is it your aunt? Is it her? Did she do it on purpose? Did she deliberately deduct your salary?" She chattered.
Lin Shu heard the explanation and knew it was not the case, but for some reason he did not deny it.
"Come on, come with me to find her and make her return the wages she withheld from you."
Lin Shu was pulled out by Zhang Mei before he could react.
Aunt Jiang had been lying at the door and eavesdropping. She was so engrossed in what she was listening that she didn't expect the mother and daughter to suddenly open the door and rush out.
"Ouch!" Mother Jiang was knocked down by the angry Zhang Mei and fell on her butt.
"My dear, are you eavesdropping on our conversation?"
"No, how could that be?" Aunt Jiang rubbed her butt, paused, and quickly answered.
"Oh!" Zhang Mei thought, now is not the time to worry about this, she still has to settle the score with Lin Shu!
Aunt Jiang thought that she would continue to pursue him, and just when she was about to explain a few more words, she saw Zhang Mei pulling Lin Shu towards the main room.
"My dear, what are you going to do?"
Zhang Mei ignored her and took Lin Shu to break into the Cen family.
