Chapter 71
Yao Xin's expression changed slightly, but seeing that Xu Bin wasn't playing mind games, she relaxed.
All this time, her impression of Xu Bin was the same as her younger sister's—honest, a bit tongue-tied, but kind-hearted. She never imagined that Xu Bin would change so much after getting the system. Maybe this cunning was his true nature.
Yao Xin supported him, "Exactly, who cares about dowries? We're not selling our daughter. When I got married, your brother-in-law didn't pay that either."
Zhang Xinda's face changed, and he looked a bit depressed as he lit a cigarette.
No one paid attention to him. Shen Ruyu continued, laughing, "That's right. A son-in-law who lives with the family is even more beloved. Your dad isn't around, so you're the man of the house, the pillar of the family."
"Mom never had a son, so people laughed at her. But you're like a son to her."
The more Shen Ruyu talked, the more excited she got. She huffed, "So what if they have sons? If those good-for-nothings just leech off their parents, they're no use. It's better to have a daughter-in-law like you, who's thoughtful and kind."
Seeing the mother and daughters bonding, Xu Bin was clearly the favorite, and Zhang Xinda felt left out.
His face turned green. He was the typical adult child, leeching off his parents, and now his mother-in-law's words hit a little too close to home.
