Chapter 7: Third Brother’s Stash! A Fortune!

“Wow, Sister-in-law is so rich!” Su Tang ran over to help pick up the money.

Li Lan also wanted to retrieve the money, but her hand was firmly held by Yu Miaomiao, preventing her from bending down.

“Sister-in-law, are you alright? Is the baby scared?” Yu Miaomiao asked with concern.

Li Lan yanked her hand away: “I’m fine, let go!”

Yu Miaomiao glanced at the ground: Good, all picked up.

She could let go now.

Li Lan hadn’t picked up a single bill, and glared angrily at Su Tang: “Give me back my money!”

“One, two, three… nine yuan and seventy-eight cents! Sister-in-law, did you sell the floral cloth I gave you earlier?” Su Tang counted the money meticulously and asked clearly.

“This is the money my eldest brother gave me!” Li Lan certainly couldn’t admit it.

“Is that so? Then shall we go ask Wang, the tailor?” Su Tang smiled sweetly. “Lao Su saved up cloth coupons for a long time to buy that piece of cloth. When we went to the supply and marketing cooperative, there were only six feet left of that color, not one more, it’s very easy to recognize.”

Li Lan’s brow twitched: “Go ask, Wang the tailor has many kinds of floral cloth. There are many like that color.”

“Let’s go ask.” Yu Miaomiao took the lead. “As long as Wang the tailor tells the truth, I’ll give her two yuan.”

Li Lan’s eyes widened: !!!

Is this how they play?

Forcing her to give Wang the tailor three yuan to keep quiet!

“No need to give money, I recognize that cloth. My brother bit it, there’s a tooth mark on the edge.” Su Tang sucked on her popsicle, calm and confident.

Li Lan took a deep breath and carefully recalled whether there were any teeth marks on the edges of the cloth.

However, after she received the cloth, she happily put it away without even unfolding it! Let alone paying attention to the edges.

If there really were teeth marks, and Yu Miaomiao was offering two yuan to buy testimony…

Li Lan shuddered and shouted: “You two come back!”

“Oh?”

Su Tang and Yu Miaomiao turned around in unison.

“That cloth was indeed sold by me, but it was a gift from you, Third Sister-in-law. What I do with my things is my business.”

“The cloth can only make one dress, whoever wears it, wears it. But the money, everyone can spend.” Su Tang winked, hinting!

How could Li Lan not understand? But this money in hand, how could she let it go?

She asked fiercely: “What do you mean, Third Sister-in-law? It wasn’t like this when you asked me for help before. Now that you’ve married Third Brother, you’ve turned your back on me?”

“Did Sister-in-law help me?” Su Tang asked.

“I did! I spoke up for you, that’s why the family agreed to let you marry in.”

“Who did you speak to?”

“Uh, of course, the family! I told Mother and Father.”

Li Lan thought, Su Tang wouldn’t dare to confront her parents-in-law, would she?

Who knew Su Tang actually dared.

“Then when Mother and Father get off work, I’ll ask them.”

Li Lan:………

“Sister-in-law has to give me the money first, and then we’ll check after asking.”

Su Tang spoke softly, but every word pierced Li Lan, making her want to spit blood!

She felt like she was trapped in a dead end, with no escape.

If her mother-in-law knew that she secretly accepted Su Tang’s cloth without saying anything, she would definitely scold her.

Hadn’t all her efforts to please her parents-in-law these past two years been in vain?

Thinking of this, Li Lan decided to cut her losses: “Third Sister-in-law, you’re too much, first you want to ask Wang the tailor, then you want to ask Mother and Father. We’re all family, you’re treating us like enemies. This money, I don’t want it!”

Li Lan turned and left, really not wanting the money.

Su Tang was overjoyed, and divided half of the money to Yu Miaomiao: “Let’s spend the money together!”

“You keep it, Mu Jingyun will give me money.” Yu Miaomiao didn’t want it.

She was a substitute, they had made a deal before marriage. He supports her, and she makes his bed.

In comparison, Su Tang was pitiful.

Before marriage, Mu Jingzhou was scared into submission, and after marriage, he didn’t dare to give Su Tang money, and she had to shamelessly ask Mu Jingzhou for anything she needed.

Su Tang liked having her hand outstretched, it was about reclaiming what was rightfully hers. Not shamelessly begging for handouts.

“Okay, then I’ll keep it for now. Anyway, we’re on the same side.” Su Tang happily put the money away.

The first thing she did when she got home was to move the bedboard.

In the original story, Mu Jingzhou only gave her living expenses, and all her savings were given to Shen Mingzhu.

Unexpectedly, only two days after she arrived, Mu Jingzhou let her lift the bedboard and take money.

Although it wouldn’t be all of Mu Jingzhou’s money, she was still very satisfied.

Trust first in a marriage, then share the family’s assets…

Today was a beautiful first step, let her slowly coax (lick), and coax (lick) all of Mu Jingzhou’s assets over.

Su Tang moved the bedboard with effort, planning in her heart.

When she saw the money under the bedboard, she froze.

So much money!

Pennies, small change, dollar bills… so many!

Her heart was pounding, her hands trembling. Su Tang counted twice, and still felt like she was dreaming.

There was a total of thirty-seven yuan and fifty-three cents!

A fortune! She struck it rich!

After being excited for a long time, Su Tang decided to take only two yuan. To avoid Mu Jingzhou thinking she was materialistic.

She put the rest of the money back in its original place, still covered by the bedboard.

After taking a few deep breaths to calm herself down, she went to the kitchen to start a fire.

As soon as it was time to cook, Li Lan went back to her room to lie down.

Only the two sisters were in the kitchen, so Su Tang told Yu Miaomiao about Mu Jingzhou’s change.

“I remember this didn’t happen in the drama. Miaomiao, do you think I’m too good in bed, and I’ve satisfied him?”

“I think our appearance changed the plot.” Yu Miaomiao rolled her eyes.

Emptying the family coffers after sleeping twice, Mu Jingzhou wasn’t that stupid. He was a ruthless character in the drama!

“That’s even better! If the plot changes, I won’t have to go to the mental hospital, and you won’t die.” Su Tang was ecstatic, feeling that life had hope again.

“Shen Mingzhu hasn’t appeared yet, let’s try to get along well with them. As for how much the plot can change, we have to wait until Shen Mingzhu appears to be sure.”

Yu Miaomiao didn’t dare to be careless.

Because, she once suspected that this drama was tailor-made for the two of them.

Otherwise, why would the director use the excuse of “same name and surname” to invite them to act?

If that were the case, someone was “intentionally torturing” them, and wouldn’t let them easily escape their fate.

“Anyway, live, save money to buy a house! Get rich and keep a little wolfdog!”

Su Tang was very optimistic, and accidentally added too much firewood, the fire was so strong that it almost burned a hole in the bottom of the pot.

Old Mrs. Mu strictly forbade cutting cured meat and using too much oil. Yu Miaomiao’s options were limited, so she only made one dish and one soup.

The soup was a dumpling soup, and the dish was cold-dressed eggplant. It looked bland and unappetizing.

The two picky sisters sighed at each other.

Meat! They wanted to eat meat!

As a result, the Mu family came back from work, and everyone ate happily.

“Second Sister-in-law’s cooking is really delicious, I’ve never had such delicious dumpling soup.” Mu Jingrong licked his bowl, not letting a single drop of soup escape.

Mu Jingyun was proudly beaming: “That’s right! My wife is amazing!”

“Is she as amazing as Mingzhu?”
