Chapter 23: Did you climb up the ladder?



Xu Qinghe's arrival not only disrupted their original plan, but also came as Yin Yunjie's wife.

"Dad, Mom, now that my third brother has started a family, will he still provide us with financial support without reservation like he did in the past?" This question, like a heavy stone, fell on everyone's heart.

Yin Yunjie's marriage undoubtedly makes the future of this family full of variables, and Yin Yunjie himself is far from being as easy to control as they once thought.

Xie Di frowned, her eyes full of worry, all because of Yin Yunjie's sudden marriage news.

For her, this marriage is not just a question of whether her brother can be happy, but also a significant reduction in her own interests.

I am watching that my future sister-in-law will replace me and become the direct beneficiary of the family.

Those living subsidies that we once relied on for survival seem to be about to disappear like the wind. How can we not be anxious?

Her question brushed across the surface of everyone's heart in the Yin family.

Indeed, in recent years, the daily life of the Yin family has been almost entirely maintained by Yin Yunjie's hard work and generous support.

Once this economic pillar crumbles, what will become of the Yin family?

Thinking of this, an indescribable tension and uneasiness filled the air.

The old couple Yin exchanged a tacit glance, but said nothing.

They knew that Yin Yunjie had always acted independently and was not someone who could be easily manipulated.

Is it really possible for me to just sit back and watch the family's economic lifeline be cut off?

Just as everyone was feeling anxious, Old Lady Yin slowly spoke, "We might as well comfort the girl from the Xu family first. No matter what the future holds, we should at least wait until Yin Yunjie returns from the army before making any plans."

Obviously, the old lady knew very well that under Yin Yunjie's protection, every decision in the family had to be made with extreme caution.

Upon hearing this, the worry on Xie Di's face instantly disappeared.

The old lady's arrangements were meticulous and thoughtful.

Second sister-in-law Zhou Yuan also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as if the huge rock pressing on her heart had finally lightened a little.

She was glad that she was not as stubborn as some people who remained complacent in the face of life's difficulties.

On the other hand, my eldest brother and sister-in-law, even though they shoulder the heavy burden of raising a special child, can still find the sweetness of life through wisdom and persistence.

The two elders of the Yin family acquiesced to this plan, but in their hearts they never really valued Xu Qinghe.

For them, as long as they ensure that Yin Yunjie's side is stable and safe, there will be room for maneuver in other matters.

Xie Di pressed the issue again, "Mom, after we finish helping Third Brother tomorrow, shouldn't we also consider Xiangyang's marriage? Su Qifen is a very quick-witted girl. If we delay too long, I'm afraid there will be more trouble and things will go wrong."

In her opinion, getting married is a matter of time. Su Qifen is not only the right person, but also has a good family background, which will naturally be of great benefit to Xiangyang's future.

However, Old Lady Yin disagreed and glanced at Xie Di sharply.

I am a little dissatisfied with my daughter-in-law's attitude of always causing problems.

"Didn't we agree to take it slow? Why are you in such a hurry?"

There was a hint of reproach in her tone.

Xie Di didn't care about this. Instead, she argued confidently, "That being said, as the saying goes, once you lose an opportunity, it never comes back. If you delay and miss the best opportunity, won't that mean you've failed at all?"

Yin Shi, the eldest brother of the Yin family, also joined the discussion: "That's right, Xiangyang's marriage should have been in our own hands. If something unexpected happens now, we will naturally have to find another suitable partner."

Xie Di quickly agreed, "That's the truth. If Xiangyang can't find a good wife, then let Third Brother take on the responsibility of taking care of Xiangyang. Since he's his brother-in-law and has indirectly influenced Xiangyang's marriage, isn't that his duty?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yuan couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly. Finally, he couldn't help but interrupt, "Sister-in-law, you're going too far! It's clearly us who didn't handle things properly and caused trouble for Third Brother. He's just trying to clean up the mess for us!"

This rebuttal is very powerful.

Zhou Yuan's words were accompanied by an unintentional eye roll.

Why should all the benefits go to the first wife while I can only watch helplessly?

The itch in my heart is unbearable, and the unwillingness and desire are intertwined into a complex emotion.

"Oh, why do your words sound so unpleasant? You said we are here to clean up the mess? You..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a loud shout from Old Man Yin, which instantly made the air at the scene freeze.

"Alright! The most important thing right now is to stabilize people's morale. We'll discuss this after the Third Brother returns to the army. Everyone, go back and get some rest. No one is allowed to cause trouble tomorrow. Act quickly!"

Mr. Yin's words were powerful, and he made a gesture of invitation as he spoke.

As long as their own interests are protected, the rest can be released.

No one dared to disobey, and they scattered like birds and beasts and returned to their rooms to rest.

The next morning, before the night had completely faded from the horizon, Xu Qinghe had already gotten up.

She changed into the new clothes that Yin Yunjie had bought for her, which were soft in texture.

The color perfectly highlights her fresh and refined appearance.

Facing a simple bronze mirror, she simply combed her shiny black hair.

Cosmetics were scarce, so Xu Qinghe had an idea and used matchsticks to gently outline the shape of her eyebrows.

She also pursed her lips lightly with red paper, although there was no embellishment of expensive cosmetics.

But it also made her complexion look more lively and she looked refreshed.

Just as she finished tidying up, Sun Youfang came uninvited.

The moment he pushed the door open, his eyes fell on Xu Qinghe's meticulous yet elegant outfit, and his eyes were full of bitterness.

"Oh my, with all this disguise, do you really think you're some high and mighty phoenix? Do you think you've climbed onto some high branch?"

Faced with the thorns in Sun Youfang's words, Xu Qinghe understood clearly.

Knowing what he was thinking, he asked directly without hesitation: "What are you looking at? Have you brought the money you are supposed to prepare?"

In this situation, there is obviously no other explanation for Sun Youfang's arrival except for the money.

"you……"

Sun Youfang was so angry that her eyes almost popped out of her head when she saw Xu Qinghe's rude way of collecting debts.

I originally wanted to open my mouth to fight back, but then I thought that I might not have the upper hand in a verbal battle.

What's more, the clever little girl in front of him knew everything about her son's romantic affairs outside.

The anger in my heart suddenly subsided and turned into a helpless compromise.

She sighed and pulled a handful of crumpled change from her pocket, planning to make a quick payment and flee.

Unexpectedly, Xu Qinghe stopped her calmly: "Count them first before you leave, or you'll say I can't calculate the accounts later."

Xu Qinghe's sharp eyes seemed to be able to see through everything, and naturally he would not give the other party any chance of luck.

Sun Youfang was extremely anxious and said in an embarrassed tone, "How could I lie to you? I have to go to work. Don't waste my time!"
