“The Shi Family is indeed a wealthy family. Even the driver looks so respectable,” Mother Liu said.

“Susu, you’re really something. This imported Mercedes Benz costs more than a million yuan, right? It even comes with a chauffeur. You’re really becoming more and more like a young mistress.”

There were neighbors nearby who were making lunch. When Liu Susu’s car drove into the courtyard, they had been watching silently from their windows. “Oh, you’re back. Did you bring something good for your parents again?”

“Auntie Huang, are you making lunch? It’s nothing much. I am just bringing some fish maw, dried abalone, and sea cucumber so that my parents can make soup with them,” Liu Susu replied with a smile.

“Oh, that’s really something ordinary folks like us can’t bear to eat. You’re really filial to your parents.”

“There’s plenty at home. If Auntie Huang likes them, I’ll get my mother to pass you some later.”

“No, no please don’t do that. We don’t have anything good for you on other days. How can we take these delicacies from you?”

While Liu Susu was talking to Auntie Huang, Brother Liu had already gone into the house with the stuff.

When Liu Susu and Mother Liu entered the house, he and his wife were opening the gift box that Liu Susu had brought.

“Liu Guangzong, I bought that for Dad and Mom. What right do you have to open it?”

“Sister, why can’t I open it even though they are meant for our parents? If you want to give it to them, you can just bring more from the Shi family when you come again. If you don’t take these things from the Shi family, they’ll end up getting moldy in the storeroom. Your nephew and niece are still growing. They should eat more of such stuff to nourish their bodies.” Brother Liu pointed at the box that he had just opened and smiled at Liu Susu.

“Shame on you. You’re fighting over Mom and Dad’s things.”

“Hey, hey, hey. Susu, that’s a terrible thing to say. How am I shameless? We’re family. Whether it’s eaten by Dad or Mom or me, isn’t it just food? They are meant to be eaten anyway.”

Seeing that her daughter was about to start fighting with her son, Mother Liu immediately gave her son a look. She held on to her son and said, “Put it all away. Put it away. Those things that Susu has brought for us, your father and I will go through them slowly. We will eventually finish it after some time.”

Liu Guangzong immediately understood and stopped going through the gift box his sister had brought.

Sister-in-law Liu, who was sitting by the side eating melon seeds and watching television, placed some unfinished melon seeds back on a plate on the coffee table and looked at Liu Susu enviously.

“Wow, the dress you’re wearing today looks really good. It must be worth at least one or two thousand dollars.”

“What do you mean, one or two thousand? Do you know anything at all? I’ll give you one or two thousand and you try buying G’s latest designs for the season.” Liu Susu rolled her eyes and put down her handbag. Then she sat down on the mahogany-colored sofa.

“How would I know about these branded goods? Just tell me how much it costs. If it’s not very expensive, I’ll buy it when I have saved up enough.” As a woman, Sister-in-law Liu was very envious of Liu Susu who had married into a wealthy family. She didn’t have to do anything all day long. Just by having a child, she didn’t have to worry about anything for the rest of her life.

“Sixty-eight thousand. You can’t afford it even if you save up for three years.”

“…That’s so expensive. Then I really can’t afford it.” Eldest Sister-In-Law Liu was both jealous and envious. “Susu is so lucky to have married into the Shi family. Otherwise, how could she easily afford a 68,000 yuan dress? And this bag, I know this brand. It’s LV, so it should cost tens of thousands as well, right?”

“What? Tens of thousands? Susu, why don’t you save your money instead of buying such expensive clothes and bags?” Mother Liu’s heart ached when she heard the conversation between her daughter and daughter-in-law.

“Mom is right. If you’re so rich, why are you buying clothes and bags? It’s not worth it. My children are older now, and there’s not enough room. I want to move to a bigger house. Susu, if you have money, lend me a million yuan first!”

“Lend you a million dollars? So it wasn’t enough that you had used my betrothal gift to buy a house the last time?” Liu Susu laughed angrily. “Do you think I have money? Zhao Fei’er passed down her clothes and bags to me. Why? Am I not worthy enough to wear something that others have discarded?”

“Ah, Second Young Mistress Shi gave it to you. You should have said so earlier.” Mother Liu smiled apologetically. “Sit down, I’ll go make you something delicious. Don’t you like my braised pork? I went to the market early in the morning to cut three catties of high-quality pork belly. Eat more when it’s done later.”

“Mom, I don’t like braised pork anymore.”

Liu Susu often felt that her family was the biggest source of her sorrow.

“Mom, Susu doesn’t like it but I do. Go ahead and make it. Do you have beer? I must have a few drinks with Dad later,” Brother Liu said.

When Mrs. Liu saw her sister-in-law’s expression darkening, she shifted her glance and immediately changed the topic.

“Susu, why are you free to come over today? If I remember correctly, today is Wangyue’s birthday.”

“Wangyue went out with his classmates.”

“Oh, he went out to play with his classmates. Wangyue is so smart. He knows how to socialize at such a young age. His classmates must have good family backgrounds.”

“Do you know that Wangyue’s friend is the daughter of the Ning family?”

“I don’t know about the Ning family. Are they very rich?”

“They are more than just rich…”
