Chapter 135: The Scheme of Mother and Daughter
Lin Fengying exclaimed with joy, "Xiaochen and Yaoyao have opened a shop in the city and they are taking Boyi to help."
Ordinarily, Lin Fengying was a modest person. When her eldest son got into university, she was pleased but she didn’t go around boasting. Now, her son and his wife are capable and have opened their own shop, she is overjoyed. Even the most discreet person can’t help but feel a little pride in their heart.
Although she was not capable or educated, and her husband died at a young age, she raised her three children. Now that her eldest son is proficient, when she goes to meet her husband in the afterlife, she can tell him with pride that she raised their children well.
"What?" Chen Jinlan’s eyes widened in astonishment, as if hearing some explosive news, "Your eldest son and his wife have opened a shop in the city? Isn’t your son working in the hospital? How did he switch to running a shop?"
Opening a shop in the city would cost at least several hundred yuan – enough to marry several wives. Chen Jinlan knew the situation of the Si family very well, apart from Si Chen’s high salary from working in the hospital, they had no significant income.
After Si Chen started working, he paid off many of the family’s previous debts. Later, his city wedding cost a lot of money too, from the banquet to the meat soup and whole chickens. It was fortunate that the Si family had few relatives, otherwise, the cost of the wedding feast alone would have definitely depleted their finances.
"Xiaochen is working in the hospital, while Yaoyao has opened a shop." The smile on Lin Fengying’s face dimmed a bit, subconsciously she did not want all the credit for the shop to be attributed to Tong Yao.
People were already saying that her elder son had married a golden phoenix and became a phoenix man. If she also praised Tong Yao as being very proficient, it would appear as if her son was living off his wife.
