Chapter 143 Keep squeezing her!
Wen Yang frowned and looked at Fang Li. Fang Li pinched her palm and took the initiative to step forward.
Zhang Mei was holding a red tasseled cheongsam made of silk and Suzhou embroidery, which looked really classy and festive.
Fang Li smiled: "It looks pretty good."
"Yeah, I picked this dress out at first sight!" She then held up the dress and showed it to Wen Tao: "Honey, Yangyang's friend also said this dress is pretty. Can I try it on?"
Wen Tao glanced at Fang Li, then at Wen Yang, and nodded: "Well, go ahead."
Zhang Mei entered the fitting room.
Seeing this, Wen Yang immediately planned to pull Fang Li away first.
As a result, as soon as he turned around, he was stopped by Wang Mingxia again.
Wen Yang's face immediately darkened. He looked at his mother and frowned, "Mom, what are you doing?"
Wang Mingxia glanced at Fang Li with an embarrassed look on her face. Without saying anything, she pulled Wen Yang over and took two steps to the side. She whispered, "Are you going to leave? Mom has something to tell you."
"What do you want to say?" Wen Yang said in a calm tone.
Wang Mingxia glanced at Fang Li behind her and smiled at her. Fang Li understood what she meant and turned her head and took two steps towards Zhou Yufan.
Seeing her walk away, Wang Mingxia turned back to Wen Yang and said, "You know your brother and sister-in-law are getting married soon. Your brother's work has been just so-so these past few years. Although he's a leader, he still doesn't earn as much as an ordinary employee at a large company in their small company."
"Look at your sister-in-law. She works in finance at a large group and earns much more than your brother. Not only did her family not ask for a betrothal gift, they even gave her a substantial dowry. After all, we can't let her suffer any setbacks when we marry a daughter-in-law. So, your father and I plan to give her a bigger red envelope at the wedding. But we've already struggled to buy a house and a car for your brother. Do you think you can..."
After hearing this, Wen Yang still had something to understand.
She immediately interrupted her mother and frowned: "How much more do you want?"
Wang Mingxia smiled immediately. "It's not much. I plan to give you 66,000 yuan. Your father and I can still afford 6,000 yuan. I can only ask you to help Mom with the remaining 60,000 yuan."
Sixty thousand.
That doesn't sound like much.
Her monthly salary after tax is nearly 20,000 yuan, which is only three months' salary.
But, after one 60,000, there is another 60,000, 60,000 and 60,000, and it will never end!
"And the skirt your sister-in-law tried on, I think the material must be expensive. You haven't given your sister-in-law anything yet. If she likes it later, can you buy the skirt as a gift for your sister-in-law?"
Wen Yang no longer knew what expression she should use to face the mother she had called her for more than twenty years.
It’s not cheap, so you want her to give it to you?
Want to give your daughter-in-law more red envelopes, but do you want her to pay for it?
Is she a cash cow or a treasure chest?!
Ever since she started working part-time in college, how much money have they taken from her? Have they ever asked her where all the money came from?
All he knows is to squeeze, squeeze, and squeeze her non-stop!
She is a human being, not a tool to make money!
"I don't have any money." Wen Yang suppressed the grievance in his heart and said coldly.
The smile on Wang Mingxia's face disappeared instantly, and she frowned: "How can you be without money? Taotao is your brother. He loved you so much when you were little. Now is the most important moment in his life, and you are not willing to give him such a small amount of money?!"
"It's just a small amount of money?" Wen Yang smiled aggrievedly. "Mom, you have to speak with conscience. Didn't I give you and my dad money last month? I'm also a human being, I have to live. I've been living alone in Haicheng all these years, working under pressure. Have you ever asked me a question? Now that my brother is getting married, do you think it's reasonable for you to ask me for money?!"
"Why is it unreasonable? You are his sister, our daughter. You are not getting married now, so why are you saving so much money? If you help your brother now, he will naturally help you when you get married. We are siblings and family, why do you have to be fussy about spending money?!"
"I care?"
Seeing that the mother and daughter could no longer control their emotions and were about to quarrel, Fang Li hurried over and grabbed Wen Yang.
Wen Yang was filled with grievances and let her pull him along, but he kept talking: "If I really cared about you, do you think my brother could still get married? How much money have I given you and my dad over the years? You asked me to pay for my aunt's house purchase, you asked me to pay for my second aunt's children to find jobs, and you even asked me to borrow money for my eldest uncle's grandson's schooling! I'm just an ordinary office worker, I'm not a big boss, where does all that money come from!"
"Wen Yang, how do you talk to mom like that?" Wen Tao frowned.
Wen Yang looked at him, pursed her lips tightly and said nothing.
Wang Mingxia looked at Wen Yang with disappointment, "So this is how you've looked at us all these years. You took the initiative to give that money to me and your father. If you didn't want to give it to us, we wouldn't ask you for it. Why would you keep it in your heart and suddenly give us a hard time now?"
"As for your uncle and your second aunt, they are both your blood relatives. Aren't relatives supposed to help each other? Besides, they just borrowed money and didn't say they wouldn't pay it back. And your aunt, you gave them a red envelope when they bought a house, and now they are giving your brother a red envelope when he buys a house. Isn't this just normal social interaction? Why are you even making a fuss about it?!"
"Normal favors? Then why don't you pay? I haven't been back to the capital for many years. What use are these favors to me?!"
"Yangyang! How can you say such things? They are all your relatives. You can't be so ungrateful!" Wang Mingxia's face was full of surprise and disappointment.
Wen Tao, who was standing by, saw his mother's sadness and his face darkened instantly. "You've been in Haicheng all these years. Have you ever taken care of anything at home? My parents are sick and need care. Dad twisted his ankle and was hospitalized at the end of last year. We didn't rely on relatives to help us that time. We just asked you to contribute some money and you're complaining so much. If you don't want to give it to me, you should have told me earlier. We will never bother you again in the future. I will take care of my parents by myself. I'll just pretend you're not their daughter!"
"......" Wen Yang looked at the two of them in surprise and pain.
Seeing that her mother turned her head away with an expression of approval, she nodded with trembling lips and red eyes, then smiled.
Just at this moment, the door of the fitting room opened and Zhang Mei came out in a red cheongsam.
She seemed completely oblivious to the subtle atmosphere between the people outside. From time to time, she touched her slightly bulging belly and said unhappily, "Everywhere else is quite comfortable, but it's a little tight here."
Several people quickly calmed down.
Fang Li pulled Wen Yang behind her and moved sideways to block her slightly.
"It's okay, it looks pretty good," she said.
Wang Mingxia also smiled and said, "Meimei is pretty, and she looks good in anything she wears."
Wen Tao took two steps forward, took Zhang Mei's hand and pulled her into his arms, smiling: "It's not tight at all, very beautiful."
"Really?" Zhang Mei looked at him suspiciously.
He nodded and said, "Why would I lie to you? You will definitely stun everyone when you wear it on your wedding day."
"Okay, this one will do!" Zhang Mei happily went into the fitting room to change.
