Chen Ruolan kept her word and burst into laughter right after saying it. Her smile was truly delightful.
Yu Chunmiao continued to amuse her mother-in-law, ensuring that her laughter never ceased.
“Yu Chunmiao!” A familiar voice called from behind, belonging to her gambling father. Looking up, she saw her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law passing by a gambling den.
What bad luck! I won’t take this route again.
Yu Chunmiao’s first instinct was to play dumb. She leaned in close to her mother-in-law and whispered, “It’s my father. Just pretend I’m still a fool and say these medicines are for me. We spent two taels of silver, and now our family has nothing left.”
With that, she adopted a vacant expression, her eyes dull and her face emotionless.
Chen Ruolan was amazed by her daughter-in-law's acting skills and decided to go all out herself. If Yu Daman found out that his daughter was not only clever but also capable of making money, he would surely become a nuisance.
She took her daughter-in-law's hand, turned around, and spotted the bruised Yu Daman approaching.
Yu Daman covered half of his face as he walked over and glanced at the basket of medicines in Yu Chunmiao’s hands. “In-laws, what are you doing with those medicines? Who’s sick? Medicines aren’t cheap, are they?”
If they could afford the medicines, perhaps they still had some money left.
Yu Chunmiao pretended to be frightened and hid behind her mother-in-law, whispering into her ear, “Scold him! Tell him you’re not his in-law; I’m just a sold girl.”
Receiving the cue, Chen Ruolan immediately raised her chin and scolded, “What in-law? Who is your in-law? Yu Chunmiao is mine! We only have a business relationship; there’s no familial bond here. If you want to be related by marriage, fine! Bring the Selling Contract over; I’ll consider three taels of silver as your betrothal gift. You better prepare some dowry!”
From Chen Ruolan’s sharp tone, Yu Chunmiao sensed that she too had a story to tell. She hadn’t expected that just by starting the conversation, her mother-in-law could take it so far.
Being scolded was nothing new for Yu Daman; he shamelessly replied, “That may be true, but my daughter has entered your family; doesn’t that count for something? Even if we’re not in-laws, we can still be friends. No need to be so distant.”
Yu Chunmiao was ready to come up with more ideas when Chen Ruolan spoke first: “Friends? I was just thinking about you! I bought someone to carry on the family line, but what happened? The doctor checked and said she’s been starving for years; her health is ruined and it’ll cost a fortune to treat her.”
“I spent two taels of silver on these medicines! I don’t want this daughter-in-law anymore; you come to my house tomorrow and refund me the silver. I’ll return both the girl and the Selling Contract.”
As she spoke, Chen Ruolan began to push Yu Chunmiao towards Yu Daman.
What the heck!
This mother-in-law is something else; I need to step up my game too!
Yu Chunmiao deliberately moved behind Yu Daman, clinging tightly to the Gambling Old Man’s sleeve.
Before Yu Daman could react, Chen Ruolan started crying again. "Oh my God, how am I supposed to live like this? My son's leg can't be treated because we don't have the money. The doctor said he won't survive! I'm about to die myself, and all I want is to see my grandson before I go."
Once these two doses of medicine are gone, if my daughter-in-law doesn't recover, Qi Chong will be left without heirs! We can't afford any treatment! Brother Zheng, please bless me from above and give me a more capable daughter-in-law!
