Chapter 54 She Doesn't Care About Money

Li Yunxue was quite satisfied with Shen Yunxiu's answer.

One requirement that Li Yunxue must have for her daughter-in-law is that she must be obedient. Just like her son, her daughter-in-law must also listen to her.

As for the previous Shen Yunshu, who was able to seduce Ajue to rebel against her mother, although she looked gentle, she was a rebellious person at heart. She was also disobedient and difficult to control.

At that time, she was thinking that Shen Yunshu hadn't even gotten married yet, but she could let her son rebel against her as a mother.

If we get married and have children, wouldn't we have to draw Ajue's body and soul over to him?

Will this son no longer be her son in the future, and will he not listen to anything she says?

So, this is also the reason why Li Yunxue does not agree with Meng Jue and Shen Yunshu being together.

As for Shen Yunxiu...

She knew that Shen Yunxiu was a little clever and scheming, but as long as she listened to her, she didn't care about anything else.

Of course, the most important thing was that Shen Yunxiu saved her and was the benefactor of her and the Meng family.

Moreover, Shen Yunxiu only slept with Ajue once and had the Meng family's child, which is also a key point.

This shows that Shen Yunxiu is a good childbearer.

Thinking back to when she married Ajue’s father, it was seven or eight years before she gave birth to Meng Jue, and after that she only had Meng Jue as her child.

Therefore, Li Yunxue is obsessed with the descendants of the Meng family.

She wanted Shen Yunxiu to give birth to more children for the Meng family, the more the better.

These reasons made Li Yunxue not want to give up Shen Yunxiu as her daughter-in-law even though she was humiliated by lowly people like Yao Cuiyu today.

"By the way, since your family mentioned the issue of betrothal gifts today, I will tell them too."

"These three turns and one ring will definitely be given to you. As for whether you want to take it back or give it to your family, it's up to you. Anyway, it's for you, so make your own decision."

"I definitely don't have 5000 yuan for this betrothal gift. All I can give you is 500 yuan."

"As for your eldest brother's job from your mother's side, he won't have it either."

"Yunxiu, are you satisfied with this arrangement?"

Originally, Li Yunxue planned to give 1000 yuan, but after Yao Cuiyu's fuss today, although she did not get angry with Shen Yunxiu, she did not plan to give a betrothal gift of 1000 yuan. She just wanted to give 500 yuan, which would be enough like when she married other girls from other families in the compound.

500 yuan!

Shen Yunxiu lowered her head, shook her lips secretly, and her eyes were full of gloom.

In her previous life, she heard that even though Meng Jue had not registered his marriage with Shen Yunshu, and even though Li Yunxue did not approve of Shen Yunshu, Meng Jue still took out 1000 yuan and bought three revolving coins and a ring for Shen Yunshu as a betrothal gift.

After Li Yunxue's death, their wedding could be called the wedding of the last century.

Even if she had married Ji Huainan in her previous life, the betrothal gift would have been 1000 yuan.

How come when it comes to the Ji family, which is better off, the bride price becomes 500 yuan!

Shen Yunxiu really wanted a higher bride price, but she also knew that Li Yunxue was still angry after her family members made such a fuss today, and she would definitely let her vent her anger.

Moreover, at this juncture, if she still complains about the small gift price, wouldn't it mean that she is just like her family, who are obsessed with money?

Shen Yunxiu didn't want to leave a bad impression on Li Yunxue, her future mother-in-law.

"I understand, Aunt Xue, let's do it." Finally, Shen Yunxiu raised her head and responded obediently.

But I was thinking in my heart that I would talk to Meng Jue later and ask him to take out some money to cover the betrothal gift. At least the betrothal gift should be 1000 yuan.

In her previous life, when Shen Yunshu married Meng Jue, she received a dowry of 1000 yuan, so Shen Yunxiu must not be worse off.

In fact, Shen Yunxiu doesn’t care that much about money.

After all, when Meng Jue becomes the richest man and she becomes the richest man's wife, all that money will be their common property. By that time, the amount of money will definitely be countless.

She doesn't care about money.

What she cares about is face, marrying Meng Jue in glory, and being no less than Shen Yunshu in her previous life.

On this side, Li Yunxue was very satisfied with Shen Yunxiu's reply.

"In that case, I'll ask the matchmaker to send the betrothal gifts and the three transfers to your home tomorrow after some thought."

"it is good."

Li Yunxue nodded, thinking about yesterday, when she had come up with a way to get back most of the money her son had saved, and she felt relieved.

After his son gets married, he will have to hand over half of his salary. Lao Meng's finance department will pay half of it to Ajue every month, and the remaining half can be paid directly to her.

After all, now that we're married, we have to support our wife and our mother as well.

She couldn't let Ajue give all his salary and the money he saved before marriage to another woman, even if she was his wife.

She knew that Ajue was too soft-hearted and didn't care much about money. As long as Shen Yunxiu cried and complained, he would definitely give her all the money.

But that was not what she wanted to see.

What she wanted was a son, her only son, the one she had worked so hard to give birth to, and who always put her, his mother, first in his heart, whether before or after marriage.

"What did you say? You gave all your money to your mother?" So, when Shen Yunxiu followed Meng Jue back to where they lived, when Shen Yunxiu told Meng Jue that she wanted him to subsidize the betrothal gift, she heard Meng Jue say innocently that he had given all the money he had saved before to his mother.

"Yes, I took it away yesterday. I only kept the money to save you. Now these three dollars are all I have left."

"You, how could you give all the money to your mother?" Shen Yunxiu couldn't believe it, her chest heaving with anger.

"Why not? My mother said that she is just keeping it for me. As long as we need money, she will give it to us." This is what his mother said, and Meng Jue believed it.

For Meng Jue, he had never had to worry about food and drink since he was a child, so he had no concept of money.

Moreover, he has always been more obedient to his mother since he was young.

His mother only has him as her son. She would never harm him or give the money to other people. In the end, the money was used on him. His mother said that whatever she did was for his own good.

Meng Jue believed these words.

So, when his mother asked for the money he had saved, Meng Jue kept the money to save Shen Yunxiu and gave the rest to his mother.

He felt that this was what he should do.

"Xiu Xiu, do you think 500 yuan is too little for the bride price?" Meng Jue asked.

"Xiu Xiu, let's not compare ourselves with others. Other families also give 500 yuan as a betrothal gift. I will give you my salary when I get it later."

Although he didn't like Shen Yunxiu, he married her after all, and Shen Yunxiu had his child. Meng Jue knew that he had to take responsibility for this family.

Therefore, he will give his future salary to Shen Yunxiu.

Shen Yunxiu looked at Meng Jue and really wanted Meng Jue to go to his mother and get the money back, but seeing that Meng Jue didn't take it seriously and even thought it was right, she didn't say anything in the end.
