The next day, Su Dashan lingered at the kitchen door.
Yan Ling tapped the cutting board. "What are you doing standing at the door?"
Where is Xiaoqin?
She knew Da Shan had something to say from his conflicted expression.
"Xiaoqin is breastfeeding in her room."
After considering for a moment, Su Dashan spoke, "Mom, I want to discuss something with you."
"Speak."
Yan Ling kept her head down as she chopped vegetables, without looking up.
"I got paid yesterday."
As soon as she finished speaking, the mother stopped chopping vegetables and looked up.
Before she could speak, he confessed, "I received a total of thirty-five yuan, but yesterday..."
"Send so many?"
Yan Ling immediately raised her voice.
She thought her son would earn at most ten yuan a month.
No wonder everyone yearns for city life.
Su Xiang had just returned from a stroll outside when he heard his wife's loud voice. He thought there was going to be a fight at home, so he quickly walked to the kitchen with his hands behind his back.
He asked in a deep voice, "What's wrong?"
Yan Ling snapped out of her daze and looked at Lao Su, "Da Shan received a salary of thirty-five yuan."
"so much?"
Su Xiang echoed her sentiment.
He glanced at his son and said, "Dashan, you haven't done anything wrong, have you?"
Su Dashan was both amused and exasperated. "Dad, you know my personality."
Yan Ling scolded, "Our son isn't that kind of person."
"By the way, what were you about to say?"
Su Dashan coughed lightly, "It's just that I bought Xiaoqin a ring yesterday, which cost ten yuan."
The kitchen was completely silent.
"Also, Mom, can we save that money ourselves? We won't spend it recklessly."
Dong Qin walked in carrying her son, and the ring on her ring finger was particularly eye-catching.
She noticed her mother-in-law's gaze was fixed on her hand, and with a start, she quickly hid the hand, hugged her son tightly, and hid behind the mountain.
Su Xiang watched all of this silently, wanting to see how his wife would handle it.
Su Dashan shielded her behind him, "Mom, if you don't want us to save money on the side, we..."
Yan Ling interrupted him, "Alright, you two have your own little family now, so of course you should save the money you earn. Your dad and I also have retirement savings."
Su Dashan and the other man were taken aback and looked at each other.
"Mom, are you really going to let us save it?"
"Hmm, let Xiaoqin keep it. You're a grown man, you're prone to forgetting things."
"It's also right that you give Xiaoqin a ring. When she married into our family, we only gave her five yuan as a bride price, which was really unfair to her."
She was initially unhappy about Dong Qin marrying into the family, so she only gave her five yuan. If she hadn't been afraid of gossip, she wouldn't have wanted to pay a single cent.
Dong Qin stepped forward and said with a smile, "Mom, I'm not wronged. I'm very happy to have married into the mountains."
As she spoke, she took out twenty yuan from her pocket and handed it over.
"Mom, I borrowed 100 yuan from you last time to buy a sewing machine. I'll pay you back 20 yuan first."
"No need, you can keep it. We still have to raise our children."
Yan Ling pushed it back.
"Mom, please take it. Otherwise, I'll feel uneasy."
My mother-in-law is helping them take care of their children now and has no source of income, so they, as her children, should give her money.
Yan Ling thought for a moment and took it. "Okay, just tell Mom if you need any money."
"Um."
When Su Jingjing learned about this later, she gave her mother a thumbs up.
"Mom, well done."
Yan Ling smugly remarked, "Your mom isn't the unreasonable type."
Yes, yes, yes.

"Lu Shen, stop right there."
A pleasant female voice broke the noise of the street.
Lu Shen's ears twitched, and he subconsciously stopped, his hands clenching into fists.
Qin Sheng looked at it several times, exhaled a breath, and asked in a low voice, "Brother Shen, what should we do? My wife is following behind."
Lu Shen narrowed his dark, hawk-like eyes slightly. "Don't let her hear this."
"Okay, okay."
Qin Sheng quickly covered his mouth; he couldn't openly call her "sister-in-law" yet.
Li Yuehuan ran up to the man, spread her arms to block him, bit her lower lip, and a hint of confusion flashed in her eyes.
"Lu Shen, are you avoiding me?"
Is she really that bad?
Although her mother often teased her about being ugly, she knew that she was actually a pretty girl, given how handsome her two older brothers were.
But why doesn't Lu Shen like her?
Lu Shen looked down at her, deliberately showing a sense of distance.
"I'm not avoiding you, don't overthink it."
That jerk, he even lied to her.
"Why didn't you answer me when I called you?"
She pouted in dissatisfaction.
"Sorry, I might not have heard you."
Lu Shen continued to ramble on.
Qin Sheng took a deep breath. "Brother, you're amazing. You can remain calm even when facing a girl you like."
"you……"
The man's indifference infuriated her; her heart felt like it had been filled with a tasteless bottle, and her lips trembled slightly.
"Lu Shen, listen carefully, I like you, no matter what your attitude is, I will definitely catch up with you."
"From now on, I'll go wherever you go, since I know your address anyway."
Lu Shen frowned. How could he not have known that this girl was so stubborn?
How did you know my home address?
Qin Sheng kept shaking his head, but Li Yuehuan seemed not to notice and smiled mysteriously, "Here, ask the person next to you."
Lu Shen looked at Qin Sheng with a cold and sharp gaze.
"You said that?"
