◎The charm of money◎
Wei Xuan hadn't intended to make it so clear, but then she thought, there's no need to lie now. One lie might require countless lies to cover it up later, so she might as well be more direct and tell it all at once.
Given Mother Wei's protective personality, even if she told her, she wouldn't tell anyone. Instead, she would help cover up for her, so she didn't have to worry at all.
If she really expressed strong disapproval of this behavior, Wei Xuan would just drag it out for a few months until the policy came down, and then the problem would be naturally resolved.
And she believed that as long as Wei's mother really understood how much money she could earn every day, she would most likely not really stop them.
"Nier, what you just said couldn't be a lie to me, right?"
Wei Xuan laughed: "Mom, why would I lie to you? Really, your son-in-law and I have been doing this since we moved here. Otherwise, with the speed at which Jiang Che and I spend money, the little salary we earn would not be enough for us to spend."
Mother Wei thought about it carefully and it seemed to be the case. Apart from anything else, she heard from the team leader that the milk powder and malted milk her daughter brought back to her cost dozens of yuan per box. It would probably take a lot for her daughter and son-in-law to spend a month's salary to buy one box.
Plus, they usually have to eat and drink, and judging from the bowl of noodles they ate tonight, these two don't seem like the kind of people who would treat themselves badly when it comes to food.
...
...
If you calculate this way, doesn't it mean that you spend more than you earn? So where does the money come from? It can only be earned from somewhere else.
Thinking of this, she asked, "Do your parents-in-law know about this?"
"I don't know. My father-in-law is an upright man. If he knew about this, Jiang Che would definitely be beaten." He might even have his legs broken!
When Wei's mother heard this, she knew what was going on. That is, she was going to live here now, and seeing that she could no longer hide the truth, the two children chose to confront her. Otherwise, they would not have told her about this.
These two kids are really brave. They even engage in speculation and profiteering, and they have been doing it for a year or two. No one in the family found out, which shows that they are very patient.
But what if you get caught? This is no joke.
Mother Wei was so worried that she advised Wei Xuan: "Ni'er, you and your son-in-law both have jobs and are not short of money. If you really have no money, just go and cry to your parents-in-law. Will they just ignore you? There is really no need to take such a big risk to do such a thing!"
In Wei's mother's mind, there is nothing shameful about asking for money from one's own parents. The child can be useless but cannot be in danger.
Wei Xuan didn't waste any time trying to persuade Wei's mother. Everyone has different ideas, and there's no need for her to dwell on such matters. As long as the result is what she wants, it's fine.
She got up and opened the box on the kang, took out the cash box and opened it, then took out a flashlight and shone it on it for Wei's mother to see. At this time, no words could reassure Wei's mother more than money.
Sure enough, Wei's mother pointed at the money in the cash box and said tremblingly: "This... so much money... is all earned by you?"
With a snap, she closed the lid of the cash box and pushed it aside. Wei Xuan lay down again before speaking, "Mom, I know you're worried. In fact, Jiang Che and I didn't dare to do it at first, but then we thought that we just need to make the things and send them to Brother Wu. As for selling the goods later, that's Brother Wu's business. We don't need to intervene at all. As long as we are a little careful, nothing will go wrong. Look, until now, we haven't had any problems for so long, right? It's so easy to make money. If we don't do it, wouldn't we be stupid?"
"Yes, yes." After nodding, Wei's mother realized something was wrong. She was almost led astray by Wei Xuan. She tried hard to collect her thoughts from the shock of the box of money just now and asked her, "Is this Brother Wu reliable?" If making money is really as easy as her little girl said, then why are there so many poor people who can't even afford to eat?
"Definitely reliable." Wei Xuan then recounted the details of how Jiang Che and Wu Yun met.
Mother Wei felt relieved when she heard this.
"It's good that you know the situation. Mom can't argue with you. But you have to hide all this money well and stop spending it lavishly. If others see it, won't they wonder where all this money came from?" Young people just don't know how to be low-key.
"I see. We will definitely be careful outside. Besides, Jiang Che and I don't spend much money on a daily basis. Most of the money is saved."
Mother Wei glanced at her and said, "Do you believe what I said? Go and see how other families live, and you will know."
Wei Xuan touched her nose. She really didn’t think she was a big spender. She just ate better, that was all.
Neither she nor Jiang Che took these things seriously. Jiang Che's life in the Jiang family was not bad to begin with. Wei Xuan simply didn't think that eating meat every day was a luxury. She hadn't changed her mindset from her previous life yet. Now that Wei's mother reminded her of this, she thought about how Sister Hong often mentioned the food in her home, and it seemed that there was a big gap.
The mother and daughter finally fell asleep while talking.
Wei Xuan got up the next morning to make braised meat and pastries, and Wei's mother followed her curiously to the kitchen.
Even when Wei Xiaolong wanted to help in the kitchen, he was driven out by Wei's mother: "Go away, you don't know how to do anything, don't make trouble."
Although her son would not go out and tell anyone about it, the fewer people who knew about this kind of thing, the better. Wei's mother decided that it would be best to find an excuse to send her youngest son back home as soon as possible, otherwise if he stayed here every day, he might notice something.
Wei Xiaolong didn't know that his mother was already thinking about how to send him back. At this moment, he was happily drinking the bean porridge with sugar in his bowl.
Seeing that his mother-in-law watched the whole process in the kitchen without asking a single question, Jiang Che knew that his wife had already dealt with her last night. He took the opportunity to approach Wei Xuan and asked in a low voice, "What did you tell our mother?"
Wei Xuan glared at him and said, "I'll tell you later. Go and do your own thing. It's almost too late to deliver the goods." After delivering the goods, he had to come back to pick her up for work.
"Okay."
When Jiang Che came back after delivering the goods, Wei Xuan had already briefly introduced the surrounding area to Wei's mother and Wei Xiaolong.
"Mom, there are vegetables and meat in the kitchen. You can make some for lunch. Xiaolong, if you have nothing to do, you can take mom for a walk around here and get familiar with the area. We'll go to work first."
"Okay, we don't need you to worry about it, just go and do your thing."
Jiang Che waved goodbye and sat on the back seat of the bicycle. After making sure that his wife was seated firmly, he stepped on the pedals and rode away.
On the way, Wei Xuan told Jiang Che about the conversation she had with Wei's mother last night. Jiang Che praised her, "Gao, wife, how did you come up with the idea of using money to shut our mother's mouth?"
"Because that's a lot of money. Not to mention my mom, I feel confused when I see it." Judging others by oneself, this trick really works.
Especially for Wei's mother, this amount of money is probably something she can never earn in her lifetime. She then minimized the risk, letting her know that she could earn so much money by taking a little risk, and most people should know how to choose.
But this is only useful for the Wei family, and it is definitely useless for Jiang's father, because he doesn't take any risks at all, and can still live well without this money. Wei Xuan is envious...
Because of this, neither of them mentioned telling Jiang's father or mother about this.
As soon as the two got home from get off work in the evening, Wei's mother called for dinner.
Even though Wei Xuan didn't think cooking after getting home from get off work was a tiring task, she still felt very happy at this moment.
You can eat ready-made food when you get home. Your mother’s child is really like a treasure!
Mother Wei now knew that her daughter was not short of money, so she did not cook a cheap dinner. After all, her daughter was pregnant, and she would definitely eat more good food if she could.
For dinner, Wei's mother made a steamed eggplant, scrambled eggs with peppers, stir-fried meat and cabbage, and stewed pork ribs soup.
Three dishes and a soup are more than enough for four people.
During the meal, Wei Xuan asked, "Mom, what did you eat for lunch?"
She knew how many dishes there were at home, and the meat was basically on the table. She knew without thinking that Wei's mother and Wei Xiaolong must have just eaten something sloppy at noon.
"There are only two of us at noon. Wouldn't it be a waste if we make too much and can't finish it? It's hot in summer now, and the food will not be fresh if it is left until nightfall. It's better to eat something better in the evening." Wei's mother gave an evasive explanation.
Wei Xuan was also helpless. She sighed and was about to say a few more words when Jiang Che interrupted her and asked, "Did mom and little brother go out for a walk today?"
"No, mom said it's too hot and she doesn't want to go out. Brother-in-law, can you take me out for a ride on your bike later?"
"Okay, I'll be resting the day after tomorrow. Tell me where you want to go and I'll take you and mom there."
Wei Xiaolong was immediately delighted and said excitedly: "Then I want to go to the cultural center first."
Mother Wei tapped the bowl and said, "Alright, look how happy you are. Your brother-in-law finally got a day off and is taking you out. It's so nice to stay at home on such a hot day."
"Mom, it's okay. It won't be too hot if we go in the morning."
Wei Xuan also said, "Yes, Mom, I'll take a break then, and we can go shopping too."
"I'm not going. If you want to go, you guys go. I'm afraid of the sun."
Since Wei's mother said she would not go, she really would not go. Wei Xuan thought that Wei's mother would have to stay here for a long time, so if she didn't want to go now, she wouldn't go. There would be plenty of opportunities in the future, so she didn't force it.
Then he did not stay at home to accompany Wei's mother, mainly because she was afraid of the sun, so he let Jiang Che take Wei Xiaodi out to play.
Wei Xuan and her mother stayed at home, fanning themselves with an electric fan while making clothes for the child.
Mother Wei touched the cloth carefully and said, "These cloths you bought are good. Once they are made, wash them twice and then put them away for the children to use. Originally, I came here to bring you two old clothes that your nephews used to wear, but your father wouldn't let me, saying that his son-in-law might not like them. I think so too. Your nephews have worn their clothes so many times that they look a bit embarrassing to show off."
Wei Xuan didn't stop what she was doing. She just listened to Wei's mother quietly and responded from time to time.
Mother Wei continued, "Did I say anything to your mother-in-law when I came to her this time?"
"No," Wei Xuan shook her head. "She has work to do and can't take care of me. She's so happy that you can come and take care of me. Otherwise, she wouldn't trust me and Jiang Che, two inexperienced people. She's afraid that we won't know the difference and won't be good for the child."
"That's good. I see you've made quite a few clothes for the baby. The baby will be born in winter, so don't make too many clothes. If you make too many, they won't be able to be worn by the second year. But you can make one more swaddle, or two so you can have a replacement when the time comes."
