Lin Family.
Zhou Xiaoi looked at Lin Fengmian without any expression. No matter how eloquently Lin Fengmian spoke, she refused to lend her the money.
"Sister-in-law, setting up a street stall can really make money!"
Zhou Xiaoi: "Whether it makes money or not, what does that have to do with ? I don’t plan to set up a stall."
Lin Fengmian took a deep breath, "We’re family, how does it have nothing to do with you?"
Zhou Xiaoi almost rolled her eyes.
"You’re married now, discuss any issues with your husband and in-laws."
Lin Fengmian looked aggrieved, "So, because I’m married, I’m like water splashed out?"
Zhou Xiaoi: "Why does talking to an anything? I’m just your sister-in-law; if nothing else works, go back to your hotown and discuss it with your parents."
"They don’t agree with setting up a stall for business."
"Then don’t do it," Zhou Xiaoi said.
She knew Shi Yu and the Chen family’s youngest daughter were doing business and making quite a bit.
If it were a more reliable relative, Zhou Xiaoi would definitely support it.
But Lin Fengmian... better not.
First, giving her money is like throwing stead buns to a dog; even if you help, there might not be any good outco.
Second, Lin Fengmian’s temperant, knowledge, upbringing... she’s just not cut out for business.
If sothing went wrong, they might bla them for not stopping it.
It’s better for her to stay ho peacefully and take care of the kids to avoid causing trouble for them.
"You just don’t want to give the money!"
Lin Fengmian raised her voice, glaring angrily at Zhou Xiaoi.
The resentnt in her eyes gave Zhou Xiaoi the illusion.
As if she were the enemy of her sister-in-law.
Suddenly, she was amused in anger, "Do I have an obligation to give you money? Why are you throwing a tantrum at ? If you’re so capable, why don’t you co up with the money yourself?"
Lin Fengmian replied confidently, "I’m not asking for your money; it’s my brother’s money I want!"
Although Zhou Xiaoi had a formal job, her salary couldn’t compare to her own brother’s.
Lin Fengmian’s heart was clogged.
That’s their Lin family’s money. Why does Zhou Xiaoi hold onto it?
Neither giving it to her nor to the elders!
If Zhou Xiaoi handed her salary over to the elders, it wouldn’t be so troubleso for her to take money.
Zhou Xiaoi knew her sister-in-law was unreasonable and was used to her being so difficult.
But upon hearing these words, she still couldn’t believe it.
Is this sothing a normal person could say?
She sneered coldly, "Isn’t my brother’s money mine as well?"
"My brother is my brother, and you are you!"
Lin Fengmian stiffened her neck, feeling guilty inside, yet pretending to be tough on the surface.
Zhou Xiaoi rolled her eyes, "Your brother and I are a couple; it’s our shared property. Even if your brother agreed, if I don’t agree to give it to you, he wouldn’t have any way."
Lin Fengmian found herself at a loss for words to refute temporarily.
Her chest was heaving with frustration.
It felt like Zhou Xiaoi was taking advantage of their Lin family.
"My brother makes more money, so what he says counts!"
Zhou Xiaoi scoffed, "Then try it and see if what he says matters."
Before she was married, Lin Fengmian lived in the family quarters for a long ti.
Of course, she knew who had the final say in this house.
Forcing herself to calm down, she softened her tone, "Sister-in-law, we’re a family. When I make money, I’ll definitely show my gratitude to you and my brother."
"No need." Zhou Xiaoi raised her hand, "We don’t need your gratitude, and even if you make a fortune, we won’t be envious. Just don’t focus your ideas on us."
Lin Fengmian talked until her mouth was dry, yet Zhou Xiaoi’s mind remained unchanged.
In frustration, she exclaid, "Why are you so stubborn? I really can make money!"
Zhou Xiaoi stuck with her words, "It has nothing to do with us. Either discuss it with your in-laws, have them provide the money, or find a way yourself. Don’t waste ti coming to ."
Lin Fengmian glared at Zhou Xiaoi in anger.
Long after, she suddenly mumbled, "You weren’t like this before."
Zhou Xiaoi remained unmoved, "You also ntioned that’s how it was before."
Back then, her sister-in-law helped her with the childcare, and since she thought her sister-in-law was still young, immature, and unstable, she made allowances.
Anything delicious or nice, she would give it to her sister-in-law first.
Treated her like her own younger sister, cherishing her.
Afraid of wronging her.
But how did Lin Fengmian repay them?
Acting like a madwoman, unjustly targeting others.
Not only did it make her and Lin Zhidong embarrassed, but they also had to clean up her ss.
Zhou Xiaoi’s patience and fondness for Lin Fengmian had long been worn out.
Now, to Zhou Xiaoi, Lin Fengmian was a parasite relative to be avoided at all cost.
As long as she’s involved, nothing good cos of it.
The only thing you can do is draw clear boundaries and limit excessive contact.
Understanding Zhou Xiaoi’s stance, Lin Fengmian knew that using force wouldn’t work.
So, she opted for pleasantries.
"Sister-in-law, I was immature before and caused you and my brother a lot of worry. I’ve changed now. You both asked to get married, and I did, not waiting for Jiang Zhixun."
Zhou Xiaoi grew more speechless.
Nurses from Beijing couldn’t even touch Jiang Zhixun’s heart.
Where did Lin Fengmian get the confidence to think she could wait for Jiang Zhixun?
With Shen Qingqing as a comparison, and still couldn’t see reality, this person was truly hopeless.
"Getting married was your choice. The man was also soone you picked, not soone we forced you to marry. Choose your words carefully!"
Fleeting anger flashed in Lin Fengmian’s eyes.
If not for her strong determination to get money, she would’ve already lost her temper and had a big fight with Zhou Xiaoi.
Hearing familiar footsteps, she quickly wiped her eyes.
"If I could, I wouldn’t want to trouble you and my brother. But my in-laws don’t support in doing business, they aren’t willing to spend a single penny. I’m truly helpless."
"Then don’t do it."
Zhou Xiaoi answered firmly, leaving no room for negotiation.
Lin Zhidong ca ho from work, and heard his sister’s voice in the hallway.
As soon as he entered the room, he saw her wiping her tears.
He asked instinctively, "Did the in-laws give you a hard ti?"
Lin Fengmian shook her head and then nodded, her gaze lingering on Zhou Xiaoi, "Everyone is bullying ."
Lin Zhidong felt a headache coming on.
This girl, why does she always have a secret rivalry with her sister-in-law?
"Speak without all the coyness and be straightforward."
Afraid that Lin Fengmian would exaggerate, Zhou Xiaoi quickly explained the situation before she could speak.
"She has no preparation at all but just wants to take money to do business. I’m stopping her for her own good, to prevent her from being taken advantage of."
Lin Zhidong felt his wife’s words made sense.
"Business isn’t sothing decided on impulse, don’t be so rash."
"Brother, you don’t believe in ?"
Lin Zhidong nodded, "Indeed, I’m not at ease."
Lin Fengmian felt he was taking sides with outsiders.
"I’m not doing big business, just a small venture, selling food and drinks, or setting up a stall to sell clothes. What’s there to worry about?"
She added, "Even normal people can do these small businesses!"
Lin Zhidong: "What about the child?"
"It’s not just my child. Let the elders take care of it. Since they pushed us so hard to have one."
Lin Fengmian pleaded pitifully, "Brother, do you want to spend my life washing clothes and cooking, serving the in-laws? I also want a career of my own."
Lin Zhidong looked at his wife.
Zhou Xiaoi let out a cold huff, she knew it would co to this.
Blood is indeed thicker than water, this force isn’t to be underestimated.
No matter how much trouble Lin Fengmian caused, Lin Zhidong always cleaned up her ss.
It wasn’t clear if he lacked common sense or what, but unbelievably, Lin Zhidong was swayed by Lin Fengmian again this ti.
"No loan, unless you co with your husband and have him write a promissory note!"
