In the Tang family compound, aunt Tang Xuan was directing the servants to work.
"You guys, please clean this table. This is a table for city leaders. If you dare to leave a trace of dust, you two can get your salary and leave!"
"Hey! Makeup artist, please listen to me. If you don't make the old lady look good, you won't get the salary! Do you understand me?"
Tang Xuan is four or five years younger than Tang Lan. Although she is already over forty, her skin is as elastic as a woman in her twenties and thirties due to good maintenance.
There are three sisters in the Tang family. The eldest sister Tang Lan married to Yunhai City, the second oldest Tang He married a small businessman, and the third youngest Tang Xuan was much more bizarre.
At that time, she ignored her family's objections and became someone else's mistress. However, it didn't take long for her to rely on tricks to get to the top and become the official wife of a cadre. This made her feel proud and proud. Every time she returned to her parents' home, she would feel domineering.
of arrogance.
Sitting in the middle of the courtyard, Tang Xuan picked up the makeup mirror and touched up her makeup, then looked at the gift book, thinking about how much gift money she could receive for this year's birthday party, how much she would spend, and how much she would earn in the end.
However, after reading the gift card, Tang Xuan's expression turned ugly.
Without thinking, she immediately picked up her phone and called Tang Lan:
"Sister, why haven't you and your family come yet? Today is our mother's 70th birthday!"
"I know your family is having a hard time, but even if people can't come, gifts must be sent, right? You don't even care about our mother's birthday. Can you live up to your conscience?"
"What? Only Shen Yixue is here? Who are you sending a little girl to fool?"
After hanging up the phone, Tang Xuan lit a women's cigarette and took a puff of it unhappily.
"Why are you so angry, wife? Your eldest sister's family has no money. Even if you give me a gift, it will only be tens of thousands of yuan. What is there to value?"
The obese middle-aged man sitting opposite leaned on the sofa and said with a sneer.
He is Tang Xuan's husband Li Yongsheng. He has a good job within the system thanks to his family connections.
He and Tang Xuan were truly a match made in heaven. From the time they entered the Tang family until now, they had not done any work at all and had been busy calculating gifts.
"Brother Yongsheng, help me move the ladder over. I just finished pasting the word "longevity" on it."
A voice came from outside the door.
Li Yongsheng turned his head and glanced, snorted coldly, turned around, smoked a cigarette and counted the gift money, as if he didn't hear it at all.
Let him be a cadre to help people move ladders?
You are mentally ill!
"You can find someone else to help you. I don't have time. I still have to calculate the gift money!"
Li Yongsheng glanced sideways at his second brother-in-law and turned his head impatiently.
What a joke, he has a custom-made suit worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. If it gets dirty while moving a ladder, can you afford to pay for it?
"Second brother-in-law, for my mother's birthday, you and your second sister gave me a broken golden Buddha worth tens of thousands of yuan. Isn't it too shabby?"
"If this spreads out, I'm afraid it will hurt our Tang family and make people laugh at us!"
Outside the door, second brother-in-law Feng Qiang lowered his head in inferiority, clenched his fists, and looked ugly.
No one can stand hearing these words, but I am just a small businessman, so how can I argue with Tang Xuan and his wife?
"Why hasn't Shen Yixue come yet? How much money can her crappy company make? I don't know what she is busy with every day!"
After taking a look at her watch, Tang Xuan got tired of waiting, threw down the gift book, turned around, and walked into the old lady's house.
In the room, the second sister Tang He was helping the old lady wash up.
"Get out of your way."
Tang Xuan's tone was as arrogant as when she ordered her servants.
The second sister, Tang He, pursed her lips and said nothing.
"Mom, today is your 70th birthday. Do you think we can dress you up nicely?"
"Okay, very good." The old lady said with a smile.
"I'll be in charge of this year's gift money! You know, the eldest sister and the second sister didn't marry well. They are short of money. When this person is short of money, he will inevitably do something excessive," Tang Xuan
Xunxun Shan said, "We are not short of money. It is most appropriate to leave this gift to us for safekeeping. Mom, are you right?"
The old lady hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
It's not that she didn't know that the annual gift money was greedy by her younger daughter and her husband.
However, she did not dare to refuse. If she was a little dissatisfied, her little daughter would definitely make the entire Tang family into a fuss.
"Second sister, isn't the golden Buddha that second brother-in-law gave him too shabby? Isn't this an embarrassment to our Tang family?"
Tang Xuan rolled her eyes and said disdainfully: "You must be aggrieved living with such a stingy man, right? If you ask me, it's better to divorce early. Look at how miserable the eldest sister is, marrying a waste like Shen Chenghai
, now I don’t even dare to buy a better car.”
"Sister, she has her own difficulties." Tang He said.
"Haha, she has a problem! Even if she doesn't have money to give gifts, at least people have to come over, right? Today is our mother's 70th birthday! Look, what time is it now? There is no one in their family.
Didn’t see it!”
Tang Xuan cursed and felt very unhappy.
"Sister, her home is in Yunhai City, it will take at least two or three hours to get here..."
"Oh, yes, her home is in the country!"
Tang Xuan hummed, "You reminded me. The last time I went to visit her house, there was only an old and broken BMW. If you drive such an old antique car, you are afraid that it will stall halfway and you may have to call a tow truck.
, doesn’t it mean it’s too late!”
"It's true what you said about the eldest sister and his wife. It's not expensive to buy a better car now, and a Mercedes-Benz only costs hundreds of thousands. Their family just doesn't buy one. They are either stingy or poor."
"Oh, by the way, there is another possibility, that is, you are poor and stingy!"
While Tang Xuan was changing the old lady's clothes into new clothes, she taunted her in a weird way.
"That's enough, stop talking." The old lady was extremely upset. Today was her seventieth birthday and she didn't want to hear this.
"Mom, you didn't let your eldest sister marry that good-for-nothing back then, but what happened? She insisted on marrying him! You tried to persuade her for so long, but she refused to listen. Later, the Shen family gradually became rich, but with that good-for-nothing Shen Chenghai
Does it have anything to do with it? I don’t want to drag my eldest sister along with her to suffer the consequences!”
"Okay, don't mention the past anymore." The old lady frowned.
"I see that the eldest sister's family is getting worse and worse with each generation. I heard that Shen Yixue is engaged to a migrant worker from out of town. Are this family willing to be completely reduced to the bottom of society?" Tang Xuan said angrily.
"This is real?"
The old lady frowned on the spot.
For such an outstanding child like Shen Yixue, would she want to find a wage earner as her boyfriend?
Isn’t this a waste of yourself?
What's going on with Tang Lan and his wife? Even if they have no money, they can't mess with Shen Yixue's life-long affairs.
