Chapter 8: Take as Much as You Can
Shen Yuchu saw her mother-in-law hesitate, so she immediately said, “But Lin Xuan put in a good word for Yulong. After all, he’s his superior, and they see each other every day.
Yulong is also Lin Xuan’s brother-in-law. If the family doesn’t help each other, who will? And you know what? His superior actually believed him.”
Lü Chunhuan seemed to see hope at this moment: “Really?”
Shen Yuchu nodded: “Otherwise, why would Lin Xuan drive over? My mother-in-law didn’t bring any gifts, she came empty-handed?”
Lü Chunhuan thought it made sense; Shen Chunfen really didn’t bring anything!
Before, when Shen Yuchu returned to her mother’s house, she always brought a lot of sweet potatoes and carrots that Shen Chunfen had grown. Otherwise, Lü Chunhuan would scold her for being an ungrateful daughter.
This time, Lü Chunhuan also looked at Shen Yuchu,
“I said, why did she dare to talk to me like that today?”
Shen Yuchu said to Lü Chunhuan: “So, you have to use your brain in the future and don’t drive such a wealthy daughter-in-law away.”
“Okay, okay, I’ll get some cabbage and make dumplings for them.”
Shen Yuchu frowned: “Forget the dumplings, quickly get the family’s passbook and withdraw 3,000 yuan. Take out the wedding quilt that the Lin family gave me, and have Yulong dress up and come with us.”
This was Lü Chunhuan’s lifeline. Hearing this, she immediately objected, “What for?”
Shen Yuchu said to her: “Mom, can’t you see what kind of mother-in-law she is? Such a good family, and you don’t let your son dress up and take these things to see his in-laws in the city? You’ll let others snatch him away!”
Lü Chunhuan thought it made sense: “That’s right! But it’s the first time we meet, should we take so much money? This… this…”
Shen Yuchu: “What this and that? With this money and these things, you’ll live in a small villa and drive a car. If your son does well, you’ll be able to go to the city, enjoy delicious food and drinks, live in a villa, and ride in a car.”
Lü Chunhuan’s eyes narrowed.
Shen Yuchu felt that her plan wasn’t persuasive enough.
So, she continued: “He’s Lin Xuan’s superior, and Yulong might be able to work in the army in the future.
A monthly allowance of 500 yuan! You won’t be able to spend it all! He can also drive a car like Lin Xuan.”
Lü Chunhuan: “…”
She gritted her teeth and said: “Okay, I’ll get the money. Our family has a total of 5,000 yuan. All the money your father made outside these years is with me.”
Shen Yuchu’s eyes twinkled: “Then take it all out!”
Lü Chunhuan: “What?”
Shen Yuchu: “Let his superior see that our family isn’t trying to climb up to theirs. You’ll be a city person’s mother-in-law, even more superior than my mother-in-law.”
Lü Chunhuan’s eyes changed: “You wait! Mom will get it!”
Shen Yuchu: “…”
Sure enough, Lü Chunhuan took out the passbook and a bundle of money, more than 230 yuan, wrapped in blue floral cloth, as if afraid of others seeing it.
“Let’s go, let’s go withdraw the money!”
Yulong, with a spicy strip in his mouth, came out reluctantly: “Mom, sister, what’s going on? I’m almost through a level, what are you doing?”
Lü Chunhuan: “To buy you new clothes, to get you a wife, a city wife!”
Yulong: “I’m almost through a level, are you guys sick? Getting married all the time? If you want to get married, you get married, I need to finish my level!” Yulong, whose game was interrupted, was very angry!
He angrily kicked over a chair, glaring at Shen Yuchu and Lü Chunhuan.
“Don’t you want me to play games? I’m so ANGRY!!!” His anger was immense.
Shen Yuchu snatched the blue cloth bag from Lü Chunhuan and whispered to Yulong: “I’ll buy you super awesome game cards!”
Yulong’s anger subsided inexplicably.
“Really?”
Shen Yuchu nodded: “Yes, come to the city with us now.”
Yulong: “Okay!”
Shen Yuchu said to Lü Chunhuan: “Just tell me the passbook password.”
Lü Chunhuan quickly went aside and whispered the password to Shen Yuchu.
Shen Yuchu clutched the passbook: “Then let’s move things. It’s done. You’ll be a city person’s mother-in-law.”
Lü Chunhuan smiled happily.
Yulong: “Sister, what do you mean? Didn’t you say you’d buy me game cards?”
Lü Chunhuan: “What game cards? You only know how to play games, I…”
“Don’t argue, hurry up and move, it’s getting dark.”
After saying this, Shen Yuchu went out of the yard and shouted to Shen Chunfen and Lin Hui by the car, “Come and move things.”
Shen Chunfen was puzzled, and Lin Hui didn’t understand.
However, when Lü Chunhuan carried out a wedding quilt, it stunned Shen Chunfen and Lin Hui.
When Shen Yuchu married Lin Xuan, they even fought over it, but now Lü Chunhuan was actively giving it away?
Shen Yuchu said to Lin Xuan: “Open the trunk, quickly!”
Lin Xuan blinked, said nothing, and opened it.
Shen Yuchu said to Shen Chunfen: “If you don’t help, stand aside.”
Shen Chunfen was also stunned. She stood aside with Lin Hui’s child and the witch’s wife.
Lin Hui went to help Lü Chunhuan move things, Yulong got into the car. Seeing the car, he sat down.
In a short while, all the bedding was moved. Shen Yuchu took the washbasin, bucket, towels, even the soap dish, leaving nothing for Lü Chunhuan.
Everything she could take, she took. Finally, the trunk couldn’t hold any more, so she moved a dressing table.
The trunk couldn’t be closed, Lin Xuan frowned: “Don’t move anymore, it’s enough.”
Shen Yuchu: “This is my mother’s willing gift, take as much as you can!”
Lin Xuan: “…”
After that, it really couldn’t hold any more, Shen Yuchu had to give up: “Okay, get in the car, let’s go.” After getting in the car, she said to Lü Chunhuan: “Okay, go home, wait for my news.”
Lin Xuan: “…”
Along the way, everyone was preoccupied and didn’t speak. Only Yulong was excited: “Sister, where are we going to buy game cards? Buy me a game console, this one isn’t very good.”
Shen Yuchu: “Okay, sister will not only buy you a game console and game cards, but also new clothes, new shoes, and even take a picture.”
Yulong: “Really? I want sneakers, the kind with white soles.”
“Okay!” Shen Yuchu didn’t even blink. Buying these things for you will be nothing once we get the money.
When they went to the bank to withdraw money, Shen Yuchu withdrew all but 0.04 yuan from Lü Chunhuan’s passbook, leaving only 5689.54.
