My mother-in-law sighed and said, "Cao'er, I'm doing this for your own good. If you go to the hospital for surgery now, you might only have six months to live. It would be better not to treat it; we can save that money for our old age."
"Of course, I know you love De the most, so you can use this remaining six months to love De well, enjoy your time together, and even let De go with you..."
"Life is short; dying early means an early rebirth. I think De loves you so much that if you leave, he will definitely be in pain."
I smiled and said, "Yeah, you're right, Mom. Then let's let him go with me when the time comes."
My mother-in-law's eyes widened as she looked at me. "How can that be? If De goes, what will happen to this old woman?"
I sneered, "So what do you mean?"
She waved her hand. "What I mean is that De should accompany you around. After all, you won't have much time left to enjoy your life together."
My mother-in-law continued to brainwash me: "Cao'er, even if you don't think of yourself, you should think of De. He has worked so hard for this family over the years; he deserves a break..."
"And besides, all your inheritance should be left to him so he can live well..."
She went on, "I heard you have a very wealthy Aunt, and you're her only heir, right?"
I nodded. "Yes."
She continued, "Then you should take this opportunity to let De go to Aunt's house to pay off debts and repay her kindness..."
"By the way, if it weren't for De, you and your Aunt wouldn't have fallen out. In the end, it's still De who has wronged you..."
That's true.
My Aunt is very rich.
But she has a strange requirement: I must remain single to inherit her fortune.
My Aunt has been single all her life and hates couples.
When I married Wu De, I fell out with my Aunt.
For Wu De, I gave up a huge opportunity for wealth.
Now that my mother-in-law brought it up, I felt regretful.
My mother-in-law said, "How about this? You can first have a fake divorce with De, then go back to your Aunt. Once you've secured her inheritance, you can remarry De..."
"This way, you can enjoy life while you're still alive..."
Before I could respond, Wu De eagerly supported it: "Mom, that's a great idea! Honey, let's do it this way; we will never be apart..."
I nodded, "The method is a good one, but Aunt has already been deeply hurt by me. I'm afraid it will take some sincerity to regain her trust..."
As soon as my mother-in-law heard this, she saw hope and immediately spoke up, "That's easy. I have sixty thousand yuan on hand, which I originally planned to use to buy you a burial plot. Now I'll use it as a stepping stone for your Aunt..."
I laughed heartily, "Sixty thousand? I'm afraid Aunt won't even look at that..."
My mother-in-law frowned, "Is sixty thousand not enough?"
I coldly replied, "Just the inheritance of Aunt that I know of is worth several tens of millions..."
Several tens of millions?
Both my mother-in-law and Wu De were stunned.
Their expressions seemed frozen in place.
First shock, then disbelief, followed by wild joy...
My mother-in-law trembled as she took out her phone, opened the calculator, and began calculating what percentage sixty thousand was of several tens of millions.
As she calculated, saliva dripped from her mouth.
Wu De was beside her rubbing his hands together, his eyes wide open like copper bells, staring intently at the screen.
I pretended to be confused and asked, "Mother-in-law, you're drooling..."
My mother-in-law quickly wiped her mouth and then eagerly poured me a cup of hot tea, saying, "Cao'er, you need to take what Mom says to heart..."
I took the hot tea, gently blew on it, and then took a sip. "Mother-in-law, the doctor said it's best for me not to drink tea with this illness..."
My mother-in-law slapped her forehead. "Oh dear, look at my mind! I'll hurry and get you a cup of plain water instead..."
Saying this, she kicked Wu De with her foot. "What are you still doing here? Hurry up and buy Cao'er some good wine!"
Wu De quickly nodded. "Okay, okay, okay..."
I sneered, "Mother-in-law, didn't you say I shouldn't drink alcohol?"
My mother-in-law waved her hand dismissively. "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. When you're in a good mood, any illness will be cured..."
