Chapter 12: Resentment from the Previous Life
"Of course, the Meng family is so rich, they definitely won't be short of 5000 yuan. Our family has raised you to this age, 5000 yuan is nothing, and in a few years, your younger brother will also get married. By the way, I heard that the Meng family even has a TV and a refrigerator, so why would they be short of these three-wheeled and one-ring? Oh, how can three-wheeled and one-ring be enough? We also need a TV and a refrigerator. Xiuxiu, remember to tell Meng Jue."
Shen Yunxiu felt more and more desolate as she listened.
Her mother really doesn't consider her at all. Hasn't she ever thought about how Meng Jue and the Meng family would look at her if she asked for such a high price and was so greedy?
Shen Yunxiu even felt that people like her mother would definitely become vampires and squeeze all the benefits they could from her even after she married Meng Jue.
She is just a tool for them to gain benefits.
Yao Cuiyu had no idea what Shen Yunxiu was thinking.
Although Xiuxiu sometimes looked at them with strange eyes since she woke up from a fever two months ago, Yao Cuiyu still felt that her daughter was under her control.
So, seeing that Shen Yunxiu didn't answer, she took it as an agreement.
He continued, "By the way, since you are going to marry into the Meng family, why don't you give your job to your eldest sister-in-law as soon as possible. After your eldest sister-in-law has given birth and finished her confinement, she can go back to work, so that your eldest brother and sister-in-law won't keep nagging me. Otherwise, your eldest sister-in-law will always urge you to take your eldest brother back to live with her parents. How can you live with your parents? You are not a live-in son-in-law. As for you, your father-in-law is the director of the food factory. Let him arrange other work for you when the time comes."
"Give? For free?"
"What do you mean by free gift? She's your sister-in-law!" Yao Cuiyu scolded Shen Yunxiu.
"I don't care about my sister-in-law. If you want it, you can. Just bring the money to buy it. A salesperson job in a department store should be worth at least 800 yuan." Shen Yunxiu said slowly.
Everyone knows how good the job of a department store salesperson is.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have tried every possible way to cheat this job away from Shen Yunshu.
In her previous life, she was tricked by her family into giving this job to her sister-in-law for free.
But how did they treat her later?
Now you want her to give it to you for free?
impossible!
If she hadn't been thinking about the resumption of the college entrance examination in October this year, she would have planned to take the college entrance examination with Meng Jue as a college student. She would not have sold the job of salesperson in the department store so easily.
"Shen Yunxiu, what did you say? You want your sister-in-law to buy your job!" Yao Cuiyu couldn't help but exclaimed, as if she didn't believe that her always well-behaved daughter would say such a ridiculous thing.
Her exclamation immediately attracted Shen Baosheng and Lu Yuzhao from the room.
Even Mr. Shen, who was smoking and listening to the radio, looked over here.
Lu Yuzao walked directly to the kitchen entrance, with her big belly bulging and her hands on her waist, questioning: "Shen Yunxiu, what did you just say? You want me to spend 800 yuan to buy your job. Why are you so greedy?"
Then he turned his head and looked at Shen Baosheng and Yao Cuiyu on the side, "When you asked me to marry you, you said that when Shen Yunxiu got married, you would give me her job. At that time, this was written in black and white, and you signed it. Why are you going to default on your promise now that I'm pregnant and about to give birth?" "Okay, then I'll take the child back to my Lu family!"
"No, no, it's not like that, Yumao, don't listen to Xiuxiu's nonsense. This job is given to you for free." Hearing that Lu Yumao was going to take her pregnant grandson away, Yao Cuiyu became anxious and hurried over to comfort her.
"Wife, mother is right, this job is yours." Shen Baosheng had long been subdued by Lu Yuzhao, so naturally he stood on her side in everything.
Besides, if the job is given to his wife, it will be theirs. If it is Shen Yunxiu's, even if Shen Yunxiu is his biological sister, this sister will eventually get married and will belong to someone else's family.
The youngest Shen also came over and glared at Shen Yunxiu with a stern look in his eyes, "Xiu Xiu, what's wrong with you? Wasn't this agreed upon in the beginning? Why are you asking us for money now? Are you obsessed with money?"
"Xiu Xiu, hurry up and apologize to your sister-in-law, and then hand over the job to her in the next two days! As for you, no matter how good the Meng family is, as a girl, you still need the support of your natal family, so that your in-laws won't bully you..." Yao Cuiyu seemed to be persuading her earnestly, as if every word was for Shen Yunxiu's sake.
But Shen Yunxiu knew that in her previous life, from beginning to end, when she was down and out and needed help, neither her parents nor her elder brother, sister-in-law, or younger brother extended a helping hand to her. Some of them just ignored her, and were even afraid of being infected by her.
Shen Yunxiu, ah, Shen Yunxiu, you saw their true faces in your previous life. Why do you still want to pretend to be nice to them now? It will only make yourself feel uncomfortable and disgusted.
Shen Yunxiu looked at her family standing opposite her. For a moment, she felt that it was the same experience as when she was driven away in the rain in her previous life.
She had originally thought of enduring it a little longer, waiting until she married into the Meng family before breaking off relations with them, but at this moment, she could no longer hold back the anger and hidden hatred in her heart.
Shen Yunxiu threw the vegetables she was picking, along with the basket, to the ground.
In an instant, the vegetables rolled to the ground and the basket made a crisp crashing sound.
This sudden action made everyone present stop talking.
Shen Yunxiu raised his head, his face gloomy, and swept his eyes over everyone present. He said in a tough voice: "Since you are so shameless, I will just peel off this layer of skin for you."
She looked at Yao Cuiyu and said, "No matter how much the Meng family gives as a betrothal gift, the betrothal money and the three turns and one ring are all mine. I won't keep any of it, and you don't have to ask me for it. Don't think I don't know that you only have big brother and little brother in your heart. For you, my daughter is just a tool to make money. If you had any consideration for me, your daughter, you wouldn't have said such words today."
"Also, I am marrying Meng Jue. Meng Jue's father is the director of a food factory, but he is not someone who can be easily given a job. You want me to ask my father-in-law for a job for my good-for-nothing brother right after I get married. Where do you get the nerve to do that? Have you ever thought about how the Meng family will look at me for asking for a job so blatantly, and what kind of situation I will be in in the future?"
"Shen Yunxiu, are you looking for a beating? How dare you say that to me!" The word "waste" was put on his head. Shen Yunxiu's elder brother, Shen Baosheng, became furious on the spot and pretended to hit Shen Yunxiu.
"What did I say wrong? You are just a second-rate person who can't even find a job and can only do nothing!"
