On the night the Shanghai socialite accompanied the military officer, he broke his vow.

Chapter 50 Put Away Your Little Schemes
Shen Jiaxue gripped the hem of her clothes tightly with both hands, biting her lower lip with a wronged expression.

"Mom, aren't you being way too biased? I only said a few words, how did it come to the point of dividing the family property?"

"Besides, I wasn't wrong. Living in the military family compound is free, and the furniture is provided by the logistics department. Why would we need a two thousand yuan settlement allowance?"

Shen Jiaxue did not think she had said anything wrong.

"Sister-in-law, say less!"

Xie Yiran quickly spoke up to remind her.

What's wrong with my sister-in-law today? How can she be so oblivious? Didn't she see that Mom and Grandma looked extremely upset?

What should have been a joyous occasion for the third brother and sister-in-law to get their marriage certificate has now been ruined by a few words from the eldest sister-in-law.

Although Xie Yiran has a carefree personality, she is very meticulous when it comes to interpersonal relationships.

"Since we've come this far, let's settle the score properly."

Tang Wanhua stood up directly from the sofa.

“Since Si Nian went to the army and started receiving allowances, he has been sending money home every month. At first, it was thirty yuan a month, and later it was fifty yuan a month after he was promoted. Over the years, he has sent three thousand eight hundred and fifty yuan home. He can count the number of times he eats and stays at home each year on one hand.”

“You all eat and live at home every day, and each family only needs to pay 20 yuan a month. Our family’s daily food and drink expenses are between 180 and 220 yuan a month. After deducting the 60 yuan that your three families pay, the rest is subsidized by your father, grandparents and me.”

“Our family is doing alright, and I never skimp on food and drink for you.”

"Including the children, they have milk and eggs every morning without fail, and they also eat meat twice a week to nourish their bodies."

"Don't you think about it? With your and your dad's meager salaries, if it weren't for the financial support from your parents and grandparents, where would you, a family of four, find the spare money to buy clothes, shoes, cosmetics, and skincare products to live this kind of quality of life?"

"Now you're saying I'm biased? Let me tell you, even if it were five thousand, let alone two thousand in resettlement allowance, it should be Si Nian and Yue Yue's money. It was originally their money!"

Tang Wanhua stared intently at Shen Jiaxue, meticulously calculating every single expense.

She kept the money that Fu Sinian sent home every month in a separate savings account and didn't touch a single penny.

Although this money was a gift from Fu Sinian to them, they had to entrust Fu Sinian, who needed constant care, to his grandparents for upbringing due to work reasons.

The couple felt extremely sad whenever they thought about this. They felt they owed Fu Sinian too much over the years. They hadn’t even made up for their debt to their child yet, so how could they enjoy their child’s filial piety with a clear conscience?
Besides, their monthly salary and allowance are enough to live on, so they don't need the money sent by Fu Sinian at all.

Tang Wanhua and Fu Shuwen had already discussed it. Once Fu Sinian got married, they would hand over all the money he had sent home over the years to his daughter-in-law so that the couple could keep it for themselves.

As for the two thousand yuan resettlement allowance, that's money the parents give to their child, and it has nothing to do with this money.

After hearing Tang Wanhua's calculations, Shen Jiaxue was completely speechless.

Of course she knew that the quality of life she had been able to enjoy all these years was thanks to her parents-in-law and grandparents.

But she gave birth to two children for the Fu family, and is pregnant with another one. Doesn't she deserve any credit?
However, Shen Jiaxue only dared to complain in her heart and did not dare to say these words out loud.

After all, she wasn't the only one who bore children for the Fu family; in fact, she had two daughters, while Ye Sangning had two sons.

Fu Xiuyan and Ye Sangning are both engaged in scientific research and basically do not get involved in family affairs, leaving all the decisions to Tang Wanhua.

Shen Jiaxue, relying on being the eldest son's wife, meddled in everything, big or small, always trying to gain an advantage.

Tang Wanhua didn't tolerate her. Every time Shen Jiaxue was plotting something, she would scold her.

Because of this, Shen Jiaxue always felt that Tang Wanhua favored the second wife's family. The reason for this favoritism was that Tang Wanhua had failed to give the Fu family a grandson.

In her quest to conceive a son, Shen Jiaxue frequently clung to Fu Mingxiu at night, but fate had other plans. Due to her health condition, she had already suffered three miscarriages. The baby she was carrying was a hard-won pregnancy, and it was now five months along.

"Mom, please sit down and calm down."

Xie Yiran got up and went to Tang Wanhua's side, taking her arm and helping her sit down.

Ye Sangning also sat down on the sofa and patted Grandma Fu's back.

Grandma Fu usually never interferes in the affairs between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but today is different. Today, Shen Jiaxue is targeting Song Jinyue and Fu Sinian.

That's something she couldn't stand.

Qin Shuyin has never been mistreated in her life, so there's no reason for her to be bullied by a junior in her old age.

Grandma Fu sat upright, her eyes clear and bright, every wrinkle at the corner of her eyes exuding an air of quiet authority.

“Si Nian was raised by me, and the thing I worry about most in my life is his marriage.”

"Now that he's finally managed to get me a granddaughter-in-law, I don't care what little schemes you usually have, but if you dare to plot against Si Nian and his wife, you're just messing with this old woman!"

"The money in the hands of your parents, your grandfather, and me is the salary we've earned through a lifetime of hard work. How we spend it and who we give it to is none of anyone else's business!"

When Shen Jiaxue met Grandma Fu's all-seeing eyes, her face turned pale.

Oh no, she's offended the two people in the family who control the finances...

"The matter of dividing the family property is settled. We will divide the family property when Si Nian and Yue Yue come back."

Tang Wanhua's attitude was firm.

Si Nian is seven years older than Yue Yue, and he was injured during a previous mission, making it very difficult for him to have children. Yue Yue not only doesn't mind Si Nian's age, but also doesn't care about his physical condition, and agrees to marry into their Fu family, which is a blessing for them.

They absolutely could not allow Yueyue to suffer any more injustices in other aspects.

Now she's in charge of the family, and she absolutely won't allow her eldest daughter-in-law to make things so chaotic!

"Mom, we'll do whatever you say."

Xie Yiran and Ye Sangning expressed their opinions.

Seeing that her other two daughters-in-law were very sensible, Tang Wanhua finally felt a little better.

If the Shen family hadn't persisted in their pursuit, Shen Jiaxue wouldn't have been able to enter the Fu family.

Tang Wanhua felt a lump in her throat when she thought about what happened back then, and her gaze toward Shen Jiaxue became even more displeased.

Shen Jiaxue's antics completely ruined Fu Sinian and Song Jinyue's joy at getting their marriage certificate.

Tang Wanhua originally planned to wait until Fu Sinian and Song Jinyue returned before bringing up the matter of dividing the family property. Since Shen Jiaxue was not honest, she decided to settle the matter today.

Faced with four pairs of eyes fixed on her from the living room, Shen Jiaxue was extremely uncomfortable and wished she could disappear into a mouse hole.

But since Tang Wanhua and Grandma Fu didn't say anything, she was too embarrassed to leave the scene, so she could only resort to her old trick: she rolled her eyes and collapsed onto the table, fainting.

Tang Wanhua and the other three: "..."
