Chapter 51 The Lion's Big Opening

After eating, Shen Yunjin rested for a while, and then went to find Mrs. Xu.

When she walked to the door of Dafang's house, she happened to see Li Fugui sitting on a wooden chair outside the door, holding a cattail fan in his hand, fanning the wind leisurely.

After seeing her, Li Fugui said, "Third daughter-in-law, why did you come here? Your mother has been waiting for you for a long time. Come in quickly, don't make her wait."

Shen Yunjin nodded, and went to the West Wing.

As soon as she entered the west chamber, she saw her elder brother Li Ren and sister-in-law Zhang standing in the room, wondering what they were talking to Xu.Mrs. Xu was sitting on the kang, her face was not very good-looking, and Li Qingqing was lying beside her, covered with a small blanket, looking lazy and powerless.

Seeing her coming, Li Qingqing sat up from the kang, touched Mrs. Xu with her elbow, and reminded, "Mother, the third sister-in-law is here, don't you have something to say to her?"

Shen Yunjin took another two steps forward and asked, "Mother, are you looking for me?"

Mrs. Xu gave her a sideways look, not very angry, and said, "You still know to come, do you know that I have been waiting for you for a long time, if you don't come again, I am going to ask my eldest daughter-in-law to look for you. I will come in the morning I went to look for you, but you were still not here, causing me to make my trip in vain, and now you are here so late, you are deliberately trying to make me anxious."

Shen Yunjin felt a little wronged, she was reprimanded for not doing anything, what kind of thing is that.

"Mother, you misunderstood me. I was selling things in the town in the morning. I was not at home and I didn't know that you had come to see me. I didn't hear from my younger brother and sister that you had been here until I got home at noon, so I ate I came to see you after lunch, and I didn't mean to make you wait for me." Shen Yunjin explained.

Mrs. Xu snorted, "What's wrong with going to the town to sell things? I haven't seen you buy anything from the town to honor me and your father. You only know how to make money but don't know how to honor the elders. You have the nerve to say Are you doing business in town? Humph!"

When Shen Yunjin heard this, she frowned immediately. What did Mrs. Xu mean by saying this? Could it be that she was blaming herself for not buying her something?

At this moment, Li Qingqing touched Xu Shi again, and she leaned into Xu Shi's ear, lowering her voice, "Mother, don't you want to ask the third sister-in-law for money, then you have to talk about it, don't just lose your temper , we also expect her to buy us good things from the town."

After listening to Li Qingqing's words, Xu felt that what her daughter said was reasonable, and her attitude became better.

She coughed twice, and then said, "Forget it, I won't say anything this time, I came here to talk to you about something serious."

Seeing that she was going to talk about business, both Li Ren and Zhang couldn't help but look at Shen Yunjin, they both knew what Xu's so-called "business" meant.After Mrs. Xu found out that Shen Yunjin was doing business in the town, she wanted to get some money from Shen Yunjin to spend, and some things for her and Li Qingqing.

Mrs. Xu looked at Shen Yunjin and asked, "The third daughter-in-law, the eldest daughter-in-law told me that you run a small business in the town, and the business is doing very well. Every time you get the dim sum in the town, you can get it." It's sold out, isn't it?"

Shen Yunjin nodded and said, "Snacks can be sold out, but they don't make much money, so they can barely make ends meet."

"Third daughter-in-law, don't be modest. The business is doing so well, how can it be enough to make ends meet?" Xu said meaningfully, "It's a good thing not to reveal your wealth, but you and your family don't have to hide it anymore." As for how much savings you have, I will not ask, but since your business is so prosperous, then you should let your parents follow along."

Hearing this, Shen Yunjin's heart sank, it seemed that Mrs. Xu had set her mind on her and wanted to ask her for something.

She hasn't spoken yet, she wants to see what Mrs. Xu wants from her next.

Mrs. Xu lowered her head to look at the coarse cloth clothes on her body, touched them twice, and said, "Oh, I've worn this clothes for more than three years, it's time for a new one, and Qingqing hasn't bought new clothes for a long time. Jewelry, third daughter-in-law, you go to town every day, so why can't you stop by the tailor shop and buy some clothes for our mother?"

"Yes, sister-in-law, please buy me some jewelry by the way. I heard that silver bracelets with fish patterns are very popular recently. I want to try wearing them too. By the way, I also want a coral bracelet." Bead bracelets." Li Qingqing said enthusiastically.

Fish pattern silver bracelet?Coral bracelet?And the clothes from the tailor shop?How much does it cost!Shen Yunjin couldn't help being taken aback when she heard that, she had guessed that Mrs. Xu would ask her for something, but she didn't expect to ask for such an expensive item, which was beyond her expectation.

The sister-in-law Zhang was also a little surprised. She glanced at Shen Yunjin and said nothing.

Shen Yunjin refused, "Mother, the clothes sold in tailor shops are very expensive. If you want new clothes, why don't you just buy the cloth and make them yourself? It will save you a lot of money. Also I can't afford the bracelets and bracelets my sister-in-law wants, we are ordinary farmers, we don't need to buy ready-made clothes, and we don't need to buy too much jewelry, my sister-in-law has enough jewelry!"

Seeing her refusal, Mrs. Xu immediately became unhappy, "Third daughter-in-law, you can't afford it or are you reluctant to buy it for us? Can the clothes you make compare with the ready-made clothes sold in tailor shops? Qingqing also But I just asked you for two pieces of jewelry, what more? What do you mean if you have money and don’t spend it on us? You just don’t treat us as a family."

Shen Yunjin was a little angry, "Mother, I don't have any money. What I do is a small business, and the money I earn is just enough to eat. Even if I want to buy expensive things for you, I have no money. If you don't believe me, you can Look at me, the clothes on my body are all made of cheap fabrics, and the jewelry is only a mahogany hairpin and a wooden bracelet, I didn’t buy any good things for myself, how can I buy them for you!”

This time she can see that Mrs. Xu is the most shameless person in the family, even more so than Mrs. Zhang. She will never agree to any request from Mrs. Xu, otherwise Mrs. Xu will definitely be able to push her nose up in the future. He aggressively asked her for money and things.

Mrs. Xu gave Shen Yunjin a hard look, "Hmph, don't pretend to be in front of me. Your sister-in-law has already said that you are rich. You have money to build a big house, so why don't you have money for us?" Shopping. Forget it, I won’t force you if you don’t want to buy it, but since you’ve started a business, you should at least give me and your father some filial money every month.”

Hearing what she said, Shen Yunjin turned her head and glared at her sister-in-law. It turned out that it was the sister-in-law blowing in Xu's ear that made Xu speak loudly at her.

Mrs. Xu tapped her fingers twice, "I've already done the calculations. You can just give me and your father two taels of filial money a month. Your business is doing so well, so you must be able to spend this money."
