Since that day, I have rarely seen Mei Shouren. I heard that he stays in Sister-in-law's room every night. My mother-in-law and Sister-in-law are discussing the child's name. As the legitimate wife, I feel as if I have been forgotten. However, I am quite content with the peace and quiet. Until one day, the assistant Zhu rushed in. She was out of breath and said, "Madam, it's bad news. The Second Young Master and Third Young Master got into a fight." I raised an eyebrow slightly, "Oh? What happened?" "It seems that Third Young Master misappropriated company funds, and the Second Young Master couldn't take it anymore, so they started fighting." "Madam, what should we do?" I took a sip of tea and replied calmly, "Let's just wait and see."
...
When Mei Shouren returned home, he looked very upset. I pretended to be concerned and asked, "What's wrong?" He rubbed his temples and replied tiredly, "It's nothing, just some family matters." "Do you need my help?" "No need." "Alright." I turned back to my room, a hint of coldness flashing in my eyes.
...
Three days later, Mei Shouren hurriedly left again. This time it was because Mei Shouxing was arrested on suspicion of murder.
I heard that the family of the victim has taken the case to court. This incident has caused quite a stir, and the entire capital is aware of it. The police interrogated Mei Shouxing, but he refused to cooperate and even insulted the officers in front of everyone. The police directly handed the case over to the court, which fined the the Mei Family thirty million.
Mei Shouren, feeling desperate, came to me and said, "Minmin, can you lend me thirty million?"
"My brother got into some trouble and urgently needs this money."
I hesitated and replied, "Shouren, it's not that I don't want to help you, but I've already invested that money."
"Why don't you try borrowing it from Mom?"
He frowned and said, "My mom doesn't have that much money."
"You could give it a shot."
"Alright, I'll go right now."
Ever since the Mei brothers got into trouble, my mother-in-law and sister-in-law have become increasingly reckless. This time, my mother-in-law has set her sights on my high-end skincare store.
"Minmin, what kind of dowry are you interested in? Just tell me, and I'll have her give it to you," my mother-in-law said.
"Sister-in-law: "Mom, I'm interested in that high-end skincare store."
I was speechless. That store is the most profitable asset in my dowry, and Sister-in-law really has the audacity to ask for it.
I smiled and said, "What Sister-in-law likes is something I also quite like."
"However... I’m afraid I can't give it away."
My mother-in-law's expression changed: "Child, why are you so inconsiderate?"
"Minmin has helped me a lot over the years; you should thank her too."
I blinked my eyes and said, "Mom, what are you talking about? When I got married, you didn't prepare any dowry for me."
"Now you're asking me to give a dowry to Sister-in-law? What kind of logic is that?"
My mother-in-law paused for a moment and replied, "Although I am your mother-in-law, I am also a woman without a dowry. Without a dowry, there isn't much wealth to give you. Isn't that quite normal?"
I pretended to be hearing this for the first time, "What? Mom, you are a woman without a dowry?"
"I always thought you were a lady from a prominent family."
I blinked innocently, "So you are a woman without a dowry, Mom? This is the first time I'm hearing about it."
I turned to Sister-in-law and asked, "Sister-in-law, have you ever heard of a woman without a dowry?"
Sister-in-law's expression looked somewhat unpleasant as she forced a smile, "This is my first time hearing about it too."
I continued, "Mom, it must not have been easy for you. A woman without a dowry can still raise three sons so well; it's truly admirable. If you really want a dowry, I can have Ren withdraw some funds from the company account to buy you some decent jewelry. You can give it to Sister-in-law as well."
After saying that, I winked at Sister-in-law and asked, "Sister-in-law, what do you think of my idea?"
Sister-in-law's expression was as if she had just eaten something unpleasant.
