Yang Zhongyi looked at Shen Zhilan, who had just put down her lipstick and picked up blush to apply it on her face, and frowned slightly.

"Have you sent this month's living expenses to mother?"

I have to say that old ginger is still spicy.

In order to clear himself of the matter, Mr. Shen explained all the reasons for arranging the work to his subordinates in front of the Qian and Yang families.

Just one point, be fair and just.

We are all granddaughters, and we are all flesh and blood.

There must be no bias.

The people in charge were also smart. They arranged Yang Zhongyi, Shen Zhilan, Qian Xingwang, and Shen Zhimei to work in a cotton mill not far from the compound.

Brothers-in-law Yang Zhongyi and Qian Xingwang work in the same workshop, and sisters Shen Zhilan and Shen Zhimei work in the same workshop. Not only do they have the same salary, but even the dormitories they are assigned are two pairs of doors with the same layout of two bedrooms and a living room.

So that no one would gossip.

Because there are only five vacancies in the cotton mill, it would be unfair to keep either Qian Zhizhi or Yang Sanhong, so...

Qian Zhizhi and Yang Sanhong were both assigned to work in a soap factory a few kilometers away from the cotton mill. Because they were too old, Old Lady Qian and Old Lady Yang were assigned to paste paper boxes in the soap factory.

Although I am not a formal worker, I am paid by the piece when pasting paper boxes. The more boxes I paste, the more I earn.

The two old ladies are both money-minded. They work hard to paste paper boxes every day, fearing that they will earn less money than the other.

I have to take the paper boxes home to make paste on Sunday, so I have no energy to cause trouble for Shen Zhimei and Shen Zhilan.

Apart from sending living expenses on time every month, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law rarely get along.

We can't even see each other, so how can there be any contradiction? !

I have to say that the person who did this job did a great job.

Shen Zhilan's hand froze as she put on her blush. She said with an unnatural expression, "We got a lot of new things this month. How about... I'll send them all over after I get my salary next month?"

"It's only been a few days since we got paid?" Yang Zhongyi looked unhappy.

Thirty yuan per person, sixty yuan for two people, and I didn’t even get my salary for half a month…

All the things in the house, from small items like toothpaste and toothbrushes, pots and pans to large items like sofas and wardrobes, which one was not bought by Mr. Shen when he moved?

Adding things? Are you adding bottles and jars? "You don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are if you don't manage the household. The prices in Beijing are not like our Sichuan city..." Shen Zhilan tried to explain.

"I remember that the rice in our rice jar and the noodles in the cupboard seemed to be delivered by my grandfather when we moved, right?" Yang Zhongyi tried hard to suppress his anger.

Did she think he was a fool? The house was so small, how could he not count what was extra and what was missing?

Shen Zhilan calmed down and said, "You know, I have never had many clothes. It was okay in the countryside before. Everyone wore patched clothes and no one laughed at anyone. Now I am in the capital, and everyone wears new clothes with bright colors. I am the only one wearing gray patched clothes. You will not look good, right?"

Yang Zhongyi's expression changed slightly, but he didn't say anything.

Seeing that Yang Zhongyi's expression seemed to have eased a little, Shen Zhilan continued, "Sister Niu from our workshop, her husband is the director of the supply and marketing department. I think it will be good for you in the future if you have a good relationship with her..."

After hearing her say this, Yang Zhongyi's complexion obviously improved a little.

"Zhongyi, since we have chosen to come out, we must work hard. You don't want to stay in the workshop doing dirty and tiring work all the time, do you?" Shen Zhilan got up and sat next to Yang Zhongyi, leaning lightly on his shoulder.

"Let's spend less in the future! We just came out and have a shallow foundation. We can't compare with those with deep financial resources." Yang Zhongyi sighed.

If you don’t go out, you really don’t know how big the world outside is.

I didn’t know money was so wasted!

"Or... I should go borrow some money from my mother? Send this month's living expenses to your mother first." Shen Zhilan's eyes lit up.

It's already a lot of trouble for the mother-in-law to help them take care of the child so that the two of them can go to work with peace of mind.

Besides, my father-in-law’s salary is in his own hands, and the living expenses my mother-in-law receives are limited.

There is also a stepmother-in-law in the house.

Judging from Dong's face, he is not someone who is easy to get along with.

Leaving the child there would be enough trouble for my mother-in-law, and borrowing money...

Let’s just forget it.

"I'm her biological daughter, there's nothing inappropriate about that." Shen Zhilan patted her bright red corduroy jacket, stood up and walked out.

If she doesn't want it, then that ugly guy will get it.

Rather than letting that ugly guy have it, it’s better to give it to her.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"Zhilan, I will tell my mother later that I can give it to you all at once next month. You don't have to go..." Yang Zhongyi still couldn't get over his conscience after all.

"My mother has money, so don't worry about it." Shen Zhilan took down the small shoulder bag hanging behind the door and left without looking back.

Looking at the green wooden door closing with a bang, Yang Zhongyi felt frustrated for the first time.

The cotton mill was not far from the compound. Shen Zhilan picked up and dropped off her children every day, and the guards at the gate had already recognized her.

Shen Zhilan entered the Shen family's courtyard with ease.

Shen Xiaoqing, who was playing with the child with Li Qiuhua in the living room on the first floor, saw Shen Zhilan coming and asked affectionately, "Yang Ming, look who's here?"

Li Qiuhua, who had his back to the courtyard gate, turned around in surprise when he heard this, "So early today?"

"I have a meeting this afternoon, so I get off work early." Shen Zhilan smiled as she took her son from Li Qiuhua and happily kissed his rosy little face.

The little guy was very affectionate when he saw his own mother, and he hugged Shen Zhilan's neck and wouldn't let go.

"Are Grandpa and Dad back?" Shen Zhilan glanced in the direction of the stairs and asked in a low voice.

"I guess we'll have to wait a while. Do you have anything to do with them?" Li Qiuhua looked up at the sky.

Mr. Shen and Shen Jianguo both work in offices and get off work at about the same time.

"Is that person there?" Shen Zhilan pointed towards the south-facing room on the first floor.

Li Qiuhua frowned slightly, said nothing, and shook her head at Shen Zhilan.

As for the arrogant stepmother-in-law Dong Manting...

Li Qiuhua was more wary than disdainful.

Although Shen Jianguo never mentioned Dong Manting's faults in front of her and usually called her Aunt Dong, she knew that Shen Jianguo disliked and even hated Dong Manting. She just couldn't say much for the sake of Mr. Shen's face.

If what the old man said was true, then Dong Manting was a slut.

It's no wonder that Shen Jianguo hates her.

"We went to Chen's house." Knowing that Li Qiuhua and Shen Zhilan didn't like Dong Manting and Shen Qiaoling, mother and daughter, whose eyes were on the top of their heads, Shen Xiaoqing never called them grandma and aunt when she talked about Dong Manting and her daughter with them in private.

As for what she said about Li Qiuhua and Shen Zhilan when she was with Dong Manting and Shen Qiaoling, only she knew.
