The leader is my girlfriend

Before the new bride arrived, the whole family repeatedly warned Qi's mother not to speak too much, fearing that she would say something wrong and ruin their daughter-in-law. Then, after she arrived, they would be unable to control her, right? They couldn't just get a divorce; if word got out, it would tarnish the reputations of both families. Thinking they had made a thorough analysis, Qi's mother set off...

Normally, she is a shrewd and calculating person. After much thought, Qi's mother went to the editorial department and invited Liu Miaomiao to have lunch together, preparing to have a good talk with her new daughter-in-law.

It's either to establish authority or to receive friendly advice from elders.

After only a few bites, Qi's mother began to make plans. She first put a piece of food into Liu Miaomiao's bowl with a chopstick, forced a seemingly kind smile on her face, and then spoke in a "serious and heartfelt" manner.

"Miaomiao, you and Yuhao have been married for more than a month. Time flies. We are a family. I think there are some things I have to say. Originally, the Qi family wanted to keep a low profile at this time. After all, there are more people watching us now.

But your sister said she wanted to be respectable, so we can't refuse her face, right? So the family spent nearly 6000 yuan on marrying you, the wedding banquet, the betrothal gifts, and buying a house! We spent all our savings. When your eldest sister-in-law and two sisters found out, they had some thoughts in their hearts. They felt that this money..."

Liu Miaomiao can be brainless at home, but she is not a soft persimmon that can be easily manipulated outside. Lu Wanwan, a Siberian tiger, can bring out a Hello Kitty? Just kidding, the worst is a tabby cat!

Liu Miaomiao directly interrupted her mother-in-law's emotional output. She didn't confront her head-on, but tactfully kicked back all the small balls. She was a high-achieving student who had been tutored by Teacher Wang in advance. Wang Yiming didn't know what the 40s and 50s thought, but the 90s had already learned to deal with all kinds of dissatisfaction.

She said crisply, "Mom, is our family out of money? I can't stand hardship. Hearing you say that, I want to run away right now."

???

Qi's mother was originally talking non-stop, but was interrupted by Liu Miaomiao. She was stunned. Her eyes widened and her mouth opened slightly. Why didn't her daughter-in-law express her opinion? Shouldn't she say something like "being considerate of the family, contributing to the household expenses, and being frugal in the future"?

After being stunned for a long time, Qi's mother came to her senses and quickly said, "No, no, no, that's not what I meant. As long as you and your wife live well, it doesn't matter if I suffer a little hardship or grievance. I just want to remind you that in the future, as a family, we should save as much as possible."

Just chatting happily, and then the invisible "hat" was put on me? Liu Miaomiao was not happy. "Mom, please don't be like this! You start by saying that I have suffered so much, which makes me feel so bad. As long as you don't feel wronged, I can divorce Qi Yuhao. It's not a big deal, don't worry."

Don't worry...right? Qi's mother's heart was about to fly out of her chest. Her originally calm face instantly turned livid. What kind of lewd words had she just heard? Her daughter-in-law had only been married for a month, and she was already thinking about divorce? And she said it so lightly, saying it was "not a big deal." So what was a big deal?

Mother Qi felt a tightness in her chest and almost couldn't breathe. She needed emergency oxygen.

Liu Miaomiao didn't "notice" Qi's mother's strangeness at all, and continued to speak "caringly". She leaned slightly towards Qi's mother with a concerned look on her face.

"Mom, do you still have money and bills? If not, don't worry, I'll go ask my uncle for some. He has money, he just got his salary this month, and I told him not to spend it yet, save it, and use it to help our family first. There's no need to write an IOU, I can let him pay it back slowly after Qi Yuhao gets his salary."

How was the wedding planned? Her sister wasn't even present at the time; it was mainly her uncle who negotiated with the Qi family. And now she's saying her sister requested a grand wedding? Apparently, peers are afraid to offend, so the blame is shifted to the younger generation!

That won't work. It's not like she doesn't have a dowry. Even though her brother has been elusive, he did mail her 2000 yuan so that she can add to her dowry.

Although Liu's father and mother only took a week's leave due to work reasons, they prepared all the dowry for her wedding. Not to mention the small yellow croakers and jewelry, there was even a small Western-style house.

Qi's mother quickly expressed her opinion, "Yes, yes, yes." She thought to herself that if she really went out to borrow money and the news got out, she would be completely embarrassed. She simply wanted to use the money for the wedding to make a fuss and control her daughter-in-law a little so that she would do what she wanted in the future.

How could she not see through this little thought? Since the other party didn't need it, Liu Miaomiao didn't continue to dwell on this topic. She and Qi's mother didn't have much in common to chat about, and if she continued talking, she might cause some unpleasantness.

So, Liu Miaomiao politely stood up and prepared to retreat. "Okay, Mom, I still have a lot of work to do and it's all urgent. I'll go back first. You can eat slowly!"

When Qi's mother heard this, she immediately became anxious. How could she leave like this when her goal hadn't been achieved yet? She quickly raised her hand, trying to stop him, "Hey? You..."

Before she could come up with an excuse, Liu Miaomiao spoke again slowly, "Mom, if the family doesn't have enough money, remember to tell me. Qi Yuhao and I are doing fine at the moment, and your son is young and strong."

A few more words were choked back... Mother Qi opened her mouth, but said nothing. Looking at Liu Miaomiao's back as she left, she felt a little regretful. She shouldn't have used this as an opening remark.

Now, not only did she fail to gain any advantage or establish her authority, but she was also outmaneuvered by her daughter-in-law. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and she slammed the table... She could only blame herself for not thinking it through.
