Chapter 216 I Can’t Figure It Out



At the beginning, He Ruixue had nothing. Her parents lived in the countryside, and her brother worked in the city as an ordinary worker.

This family background can only be described as mediocre, even worse than theirs. As for beauty, there are plenty of pretty girls.

How could she have the guts to be so rude to the Jiang family's darling? His mother was so angry that she kept calling him a devil.

When Ye Zhen didn't know about it before, he was secretly happy.

This sister-in-law looked down on her. Every time she went to visit the Jiang family, she had to sit in the second seat, and she kept picking at the gifts sent to them.

Now her son is in the hands of a rural girl, isn't this retribution?

Look at Jiang Mengheng, he's so worthless. He cares so much about me even before getting married. I'm afraid he will forget me after he gets married.

There is a wicked mother-in-law, a spoiled daughter-in-law, and a son who takes sides. There will be more fights in the future.

However, what she didn't expect was that the girl didn't agree to be with Jiang Mengheng. While she was disappointed, she also wanted to see what kind of stupid girl was that didn't want to touch the mountain of gold.

Now I know, oh, it turns out it belongs to her niece's house.

Ye Zhen didn't know whether to sigh at the wonder of fate. It turned out that Pan Shuyu's sister-in-law was the one Jiang Mengheng had been thinking about, or whether he should be surprised that she didn't like her.

She looked dazed and didn't come back to her senses for a long time.

Pan Shuyu thought she was intimidated by her sister-in-law's strength, and couldn't help but show a hint of complacency, and at the same time felt a bit proud.

How about I tell you to look down on me?

My sister-in-law is no worse than the son you carefully raised with all your tricks.

"She has no other advantages except courage. She dares to take on things that others dare not do, and she takes on responsibilities that others dare not bear. Otherwise, how could she stand out?"

Ye Zhen nodded woodenly, "She is indeed very courageous."

Not everyone can decisively reject Jiang Mengheng.

What's the difference between this and giving up the bright road in front of you and resolutely taking a small path?

"Right? When Shuhua was her age, he was still a private in the army, right?"

Hearing her deliberately derogatory tone, Ye Zhen immediately frowned.

"How can you calculate it like that? The accumulation in the early stage may be fast or slow, it all depends on the stamina.

The road ahead for your sister-in-law will become increasingly difficult, and she may not be able to reach Shuhua's position in the future.

After all, he became the head of a group at such a young age, and everyone would praise him for being young and strong."

There is one more thing she didn't say: her son is a man, and your sister-in-law is a woman, so their starting points and end points are different.

Although the slogan now is equality, at first glance, how many women can become high-ranking officials?

The world is like this. If she had given birth to a girl, at most she would have married into a wealthy family and had to live by other people's wishes. How could she be in her current situation?

Seeing her nonchalant expression, Pan Shuyu became angry and blurted out, "Yes, it's a pity that my sister-in-law couldn't find a high-ranking official in her family. She said that one must earn one's own position to maintain a secure position. No one can take it away, let alone bow down to others."

After she finished speaking, she glanced at Pan Shuhua and said, "Don't take it to heart. I'm not talking about you."

Pan Shuhua twitched the corners of his mouth.

There is no need to try to cover up the truth.

Hadn't he heard a lot of gossip in the army over the years? It was said that he was a landlord's son, corrupting morals, or that he was climbing up the ladder by grabbing women's skirts.

There have been much harsher things said, and her words were considered tactful and gentle, and did not hurt him at all.

But Ye Zhen couldn't stand hearing this the most and was so angry that he wanted to fight with her.

Pan Shuhua quickly stopped them and persuaded them with kind words, which helped them calm down and start a new topic.

"Your sister-in-law doesn't have to go to work today, so she's still sleeping? She doesn't even come out to see me."

Let her see what kind of fairy she is, and make the arrogant Jiang Mengheng lose his mind.

"No, she went to her boyfriend's place."

Ye Zhen couldn't help but be curious, "Who is her partner? What does he do for a living? Where do his parents work?"

Is his family more powerful than the Jiang family?

Pan Shuyu didn't reveal too much. "I don't know much either. He works in a funeral home and has no parents. He was adopted when he was little."

"How did you find a..."

Ye Zhen curled his lips, "You don't mind being unlucky."

"She's willing in her heart, so what can my family do? My parents-in-law want to pick stars for her. As long as she likes her, they will happily welcome her even if my son-in-law doesn't have a job."

Not to mention that Jiang Yanxu's face is really handsome, which would have brought disaster to the country and the people in ancient times.

Ye Zhen is a controlling parent, but different from Jiang Mengheng's mother.

She focuses more on big things. For example, when it comes to choosing a life path, she will quietly guide her son to follow her ideas and will not restrict too many details of his life.

Therefore, she could not understand why the He family let their children do whatever they wanted, and she could only secretly curse the peasant woman for being short-sighted and ignorant.

If you don't know how to seize the opportunity to improve your status, you don't know how many generations of accumulation it will take to squeeze into the upper class. If even one generation is unsuccessful, the whole family will be sent back to their hometown.

She had good vision. Pan Shuhua's father even came to thank her in a dream.

"Let's not talk about her. Where's your mother-in-law?"

"My mother-in-law went to my eldest sister-in-law's house to help her take care of her grandson."

"What about your man?"

"Something happened in the village, so he went back."

In fact, he went to finish his accounting work, and then asked the team leader for leave to pick up his father and He Xiaohua first.

Buying a house requires discussion among the whole family; no one can be left out.

Ye Zhen's eyes drooped as he said unhappily, "Oh, so you're the only one in your family. What a coincidence! If someone didn't know, they would think your family dislikes me and hides when they see me."

"No, they mean well. They want us to meet and talk alone. There's no need to be so formal."

Now it seems that it would be better if everyone were here.

If someone says something to her, it would be best to make her angry and leave.

Both sides racked their brains to find topics to talk about and chatted for half the morning.

Ye Zhen finished his second cup of tea and said slowly, "Logically, when the family property was divided, you should have had a share. According to the old man's original intention, the first and second wives would share 70% and 30% respectively."

At this point, she sneered, venting her dissatisfaction, "Your brothers each got two portions, and you only got one. Speaking of which, I should thank him for leaving an extra portion for our second wife."

Here we go, finally getting to the point.

Pan Shuyu perked up and did not question the distribution method she mentioned.

She knew her grandfather and father, and they knew it must have been divided that way. In that era, any assets she could get other than the dowry were considered a sign of her family's love.

"Don't mention your brothers. I don't want to have anything to do with them. I plan to hand over all the property of the eldest wife to you. This is what you deserve. Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to explain to your parents when I die."

Ye Zhen felt guilty after all, but was afraid of being extorted, so he chose to ignore the plight of his nephews and simply put all the compensation on Pan Shuyu.
