Shen Xi took Zheng Xiuzhu to the bench beside the school's artificial lake and sat down.

Zheng Xiuzhu looked at it several times, but finally did not dare to speak. She could only take out a disinfectant wipe to wipe the bench until it sparkled, and then took out a paper towel to wipe it dry carefully.

Shen Xi, who had already sat down, said: …

It seems like I have some idea of ​​where Chen Chuan's cleanliness obsession came from.

When Zheng Xiuzhu sat down beside her and spoke, Shen Xi knew why she came.

"Xiaoxi, can you help me persuade Achuan?"

Sure enough, not surprising.

"The New Year is almost here. This year is different from previous years. Caibao has never seen his grandfather since he was born. Why not..."

"mom!"

Shen Xi interrupted her.

Zheng Xiuzhu looked at her.

"Why do you think Chen Chuan has a conflict with his father?"

Zheng Xiuzhu was stunned and began to avoid the question.

"I have to know the reason before I can know how to persuade you, right?"

"This... is actually all a misunderstanding..."

"Since it's a misunderstanding, can't we just talk it out? Tell me why it happened, and I'll go and persuade you. I'll persuade you in a targeted and purposeful way, and I guarantee that I'll help resolve the misunderstanding."

Zheng Xiuzhu hesitated: "It happened a long time ago, I can't explain it clearly..."

Shen Xi stood up and prepared to leave: "It's okay, Mom, how about you think about how to explain it clearly and come to me next time?"

what?

Zheng Xiuzhu got anxious and reached out to pull her: "Xiaoxi..."

Shen Xi dodged her hand and smiled: "Mom, I have something else to do here, so I'll leave first."

"Xiaoxi!" Zheng Xiuzhu thought of her second daughter's previous comments on Shen Xi, and said in one breath: "I'll give you money!"

Oh?

Shen Xi stopped and looked at her, a little surprised.

"As long as you can help me persuade Ah Chuan, I will give you money."

"How much?"

Zheng Xiuzhu: ...

No, I know you are realistic, but can you not be so realistic? Zheng Xiuzhu was a little overwhelmed by the huge change in her attitude.

Shen Xi didn't waste any words and asked directly: "Mom, how much are you going to give?"

Zheng Xiuzhu gritted her teeth and took out a check from her bag.

This is well prepared. Shen Xi took it and took a look. Wow, one hundred thousand.

This mother-in-law is quite stingy.

No wonder Chen Chuan said before that although Zheng Xiuzhu came into the family with a large dowry, she was not well off due to her husband's gambling addiction.

Look, it’s indeed not wide.

But Shen Xi didn't care. "Mom, one hundred thousand is not enough."

"what?"

"Don't you know what kind of personality your son has? He is so difficult to persuade and has a bad temper. I risked my life to persuade him. Just 100,000..."

Zheng Xiuzhu thought about it, gritted her teeth, and wrote another check - for five hundred thousand!

"Mom, the relationship between you and Achuan is only worth 500,000 yuan?"

"I...I...don't have much money right now."

Shen Xi quickly put both checks into his pocket and said very considerately, "It's okay, Mom. Save some money first and we'll talk about it when you have money. There's no rush."

What?

Zheng Xiuzhu was dumbfounded, how could this be possible?

She hesitated for a while and then wrote another check for 500,000 yuan. This was all she had left. The original dowry dividends were all taken away by Chen Weiqun.

She saved this little bit of money to give red envelopes to her younger generations during the Chinese New Year.

However, she couldn't understand why the situation turned into a bargaining and price-raising mode...

In less than ten minutes, Shen Xi got 1.1 million yuan. He was very satisfied and took the money happily. He patted his chest and promised, "Don't worry, Mom, I will take care of persuading Chen Chuan. I will definitely persuade him."

After hearing this, Zheng Xiuzhu's expression relaxed.

Sure enough, things are different after getting married. The knot in my heart that has been there for so many years may finally be untied this time.

The day she dreamed of of family reunion was finally coming.

No, she had to prepare more of Chen Chuan’s favorite foods. If they were to celebrate the New Year together this year, she would have to prepare it in advance. Zheng Xiuzhu left the school with a dreamy smile on her face.

She was waiting for good news from Shen Xi.

Then--

I waited and waited, until Shen Xi had his winter vacation, until the Chinese New Year was getting closer and closer, but... still no news.

She couldn't help but call Shen Xi, and of course, changed her phone card.

The previous one was blocked and I couldn’t get through at all.

"Hey, Xiaoxi, how are things going?"

"What is it? You promised to help me persuade Ah Chuan. You didn't forget it, did you?"

"Oh, you're talking about this." Shen Xi ate fruit and watched TV series at the same time, and said nonchalantly: "I haven't forgotten, I haven't forgotten. Mom, I tried to persuade him, but unfortunately, Chen Chuan didn't listen."

what?

Zheng Xiuzhu was struck by lightning. "Xiaoxi, you must promise me..."

"Yes, I promised you to persuade him, and I did. If you don't believe me, just ask." Shen Xi turned on the loudspeaker of his cell phone: "Chen Chuan, did I persuade you?"

Chen Chuan was originally playing with Caibao. Upon hearing this, he looked at his wife and said nothing.

Shen Xi pretended to beat him.

"Yes."

Guess he knows the truth.

"Mom, listen, I did try to persuade him, but it didn't work. I'm sorry, Mom, your son is as stubborn as a bull, there's really nothing I can do about him."

"By the way, Mom, we're in a hurry to go out. Let's talk next time."

After Shen Xi finished speaking, he hung up the phone. When he called again, the call was not connected.

Zheng Xiuzhu cried.

She didn't even say a word...

Who understands this feeling of being deeply cheated?

I called Chen Man to cry, but who would have thought that it was an old cotton-padded jacket that was leaking.

"Mom, you are just looking for trouble. Why did you go to embarrass Xiaoxi for your previous mess? You have learned your lesson now, you deserve it."

Zheng Xiuzhu was so angry that she hung up the phone.

I called Chen Meng, and found out that the brother-supporting demon's remarks were even more infuriating.

"Mom, Ah Chuan must have his reasons for being angry. Why don't you wait a few more years until he calms down..."

"Wait a few more years, wait until I die?" Zheng Xiuzhu hung up the phone angrily again.

After thinking about it, I felt really upset, so I called Chen Shulin again. I thought that at least they had something in common...

This time, no one tried to persuade her.

Chen Shulin sneered as she opened her mouth: "Haha, if you give the money to Shen Xi, it's like throwing meat buns at a dog, it will never come back. She is a woman who only cares about money. She cheated me out of five million before! She is so shameless!"

Although Zheng Xiuzhu was also dissatisfied with Shen Xi for cheating her of money, being dissatisfied herself was one thing, but what others said about her being her daughter-in-law was another.

She said unhappily: "How can you say that about Xiaoxi? After all, she is your niece-in-law..."

"She's still my niece's wife. When she was cheating me out of money, why didn't she think of me as her aunt? That woman is so evil-hearted, and you even offered her a million dollars. If you had that money, why don't you give it to me? I can still remember your kindness..."

After hearing all this chatter, Zheng Xiuzhu was so scared that she quickly found an excuse to hang up the phone. Now she has become a well-behaved person and dares not complain to anyone about being cheated of money by Shen Xi.

It’s so frustrating! It’s so frustrating!!
