Chapter 24 – My Son is a Phoenix Man (part 4)

When Li Su finished speaking, Jiang Shan and Wei Yue Er were silent.
Jiang Shan knew that what mother said was right, but he couldn’t accept it.
He can’t live in a mansion by himself but let his mother rent a house.
This won’t do.

Wei Yue Er was a little moved.
This was definitely the best way to avoid conflicts between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but she could not express her opinion.

Li Su smiled and patted Jiang Shan on the shoulder.
“Good boy.
Mum knows what you are thinking.
It’s okay.
When my son makes money, he can buy a house for mum.
Mum believes that my son will be able to do it.”

Jiang Shan raised his head and looked at Li Su.

Wei Yue Er said, “Do you want to buy a house? I have money!”

Jiang Shan immediately looked down.
Li Su saw that he was feeling heartbroken over this, so she quickly said, “Good boy, I know you have money, but your money is yours.
We, the Jiang family, cannot spend money from your wife.
You can buy it in the future.
That house must be earned rightfully by my son.”

Jiang Shan’s expression eased a little.

Wei Yue Er was a little aggrieved.
“But I am married to the Jiang family.
We are husband and wife.
My money is my husband’s money.
Husband, don’t you treat me as family?”

Li Su smiled and said, “You silly child.
You are a part of our Jiang family.
You and your husband are a unit.
But, Yue Er, your money is your dowry.
You can spend it on Jiang Shan and yourself.
There is no reason for the child to spend on their parents to honour them! If that is the case, then what kind of people will we become? I believe that my son has this ability.
It is a man’s business to support a family.
If you have money, you can spend it on yourself or save it for future children.”

Jiang Shan nodded.
“Trust me.
I will use my abilities to let you and mum live a good life.”

Wei Yue Er didn’t think there was anything wrong with using her money, but when she heard her mother-in-law say this, she looked at her husband’s face.
She remembered what her friends said before and realised that she might have hit a sore spot for her husband.
After all, he is a man.
If he always relied on the Wei family, then he would definitely be unhappy.

“Husband, I believe you.
I won’t say that again,” Wei Yue Er apologised sincerely.

Jiang Shan smiled and reached out to pat Wei Yue Er’s hair.
“It’s okay.
I know you don’t mean anything bad by it.” Yes, he knew that Wei Yue Er didn’t have bad intentions.
She was just too pure for her own good.
But, there were times where pressure and speculation from others made it difficult.

Fortunately, his mother understood him.

Jiang Shan looked back at Li Su and smiled.

In the end, Jiang Shan agreed to Li Su’s request and rented a one-bedroom house for her in the neighbouring community.
It wasn’t far away and was merely separated by a road.
Jiang Shan and Wei Yue Er accompanied Li Su to see it.
It was not bad and Li Su was quite satisfied.

Wei Yue Er thought it was too old and that the furniture was old.

“Mum, let’s go shopping for some furniture and daily necessities.
These are all old.
I will buy it for you.
As your daughter-in-law, I should be able to at least buy these for mother-in-law!”

Li Su and Jiang Shan looked at each other.
Li Su smiled and said, “Okay, you can.
But I will choose what to buy!”

“Okay!” As long as she is willing to spend the money.
Wei Yue Er held Li Su’s arm with joy and smiled.

The three of them drove to the mall.
Wei Yue Er chose a high-end mall with many beautiful things inside.
Wei Yue Er was very happy and pulled Li Su around.
“Mum, look at this table.
It looks very good with this tablecloth.
You can get a vase to make it beautiful.
Mum, let’s buy this?” Wei Yue Er looked at Li Su with bright eyes.

When Li Su saw the price, she smiled helplessly.
“Didn’t you say that I’ll choose? This table might be good-looking, but what will this old lady do with such a fancy table? Let me choose!”

Wei Yue Er made a quiet noise of frustration.
She lowered her head and said nothing.

Li Su thought that she was a little cute.
She smiled and walked over to hold Wei Yue Er’s hand.
Wei Yue Er was immediately happy and looked at Jiang Shan with a smile.

After visiting most of the stores, Li Su bought a few pieces of furniture that were considered high quality and inexpensive.

Wei Yue Er was clamouring to buy some daily necessities.
Li Su dragged her to the supermarket and chose a few things randomly.
While paying the bill, Wei Yue Er looked upset.
“Mum, isn’t It good to go to the mall? The things at the supermarket aren’t as good as the ones in the mall.”

Li Su smiled helplessly.

The cashier smiled and said, “Auntie, is this your daughter? How filial!”

Li Su laughed when she heard those words.
“This is my daughter-in-law and that is my son.
Both of them are filial.
They want to buy things for me from the mall, but I think the items in the mall are expensive and not easy to use.
I must be practical and buy things from the supermarket! It is not easy for young people to make money.
As parents, we can’t drag them down, don’t you agree?”

Wei Yue Er was very happy when she heard her mother-in-law praise her for her filial piety.

Li Su turned around and was about to speak, but she saw Jiang Shan talking to a woman not far away.
Li Su was stunned and shouted, “Son!”

Jiang Shan turned around, a little embarrassed, but came over.

Unexpectedly, the woman followed.

“Son, who is she?” Li Su looked at the woman.
Was she Jiang Shan’s ex-girlfriend, Mei Li, who became his mistress?

“Mum, let me introduce her.
This is my classmate from university.
When we came back a few days ago, we just happened to meet.” Jiang Shan’s attitude was very generous.
Although Yue Er knew he had an ex-girlfriend, she had not met her.

“Hello, auntie, my name is Mei Li.
I am very happy to meet you.
I used to hear Jiang Shan mention you.” Mei Li looked tender and shy.

The corners of Li Su’s mouth twitched.
So it was her.

Li Su smiled perfunctorily at Mei Li and turned to look at Jiang Shan.
“Yue Er has spent a lot of money today.
Mum will treat you for lunch.
Let’s go to a restaurant.
What does Yue Er want to eat? Tell me.”

“Mum, I have money.
I’ll pay,” Jiang Shan said with a smile.

“Don’t underestimate mum.
Mum has money.
I kept the money you gave me in the past.” What Li Su said was true.
She did have 2000 yuan on her.
“Don’t save money for mum.
Mum is very lucky.
You are a filial son and I have a daughter-in-law like Yue Er.
Mum is happy.
Mum is willing to spend money on you.”

Jiang Shan laughed and thought for a while.
“Well, Yue Er’s favourite food is from a private kitchen called Bai Wei Zhai.
We should go there for lunch.” Food from Bai Wei Zhai was delicious and not too expensive.
It was about 1000 yuan for a meal! When he and Yue Er went on dates before, they went there to eat.

Mei Li stood to the side and listened to the conversation.
She was still smiling, but she felt intense jealousy in her heart.
Sure enough, the mother-in-law knew the power dynamics well.
The mother-in-law doesn’t need her self-esteem, so she can just lick the boots of her daughter-in-law! Then, there was Jiang Shan, who had been in love with her for 3 years.
They ate at roadside stalls while they dated! When was he able to go to such a high-class place like Bai Wei Zhai?!

Sure enough, being rich was different! Back when Mei Li thought about breaking up with Jiang Shan, President Wei had given her half a million.
Her heart had hurt.
Half a million looked like a lot, but half a year later, she had spent it all unconsciously.

It was said that it is easy to go from a frugal life to a life full of luxury and it was difficult to go from a life of luxury to a life of frugality.
This was how Mei Li was now.
She was used to enjoying it all and now she had returned to being an ordinary person.
She was no longer satisfied, so she came back.
She thought that since Jiang Shan was now the son-in-law of a rich man, and that they had been in love for 3 years, it was possible for something to happen.
Her three views on life had been ruined by her previous life of luxury.
She didn’t care about status as long as she had money!

At this moment, Wei Yue Er came out carrying a large bag of items.
“Oh, it’s so heavy! Husband!”

Mei Li saw Jiang Shan and Li Su go over and take the things in Wei Yue Er’s hands.
Her eyes were red with jealousy.
It seemed that she wouldn’t be able to talk much to Jiang Shan this time around.
But it didn’t matter.
She still had a lot of time.
She has patience.

“Jiang Shan, if you aren’t free today, I’ll go back first.
I’ll see you later,” Mei Li whispered.

Wei Yue Er looked at her in surprise.
“Husband, who is she?”

“Oh, this is my college classmate.
I haven’t seen her for a long time, so I just chatted with her,” said Jiang Shan.
“Okay, then I’ll see you another day.”

“Okay, I’ll go now.” Mei Li smiled softly.
She turned and walked a few steps before suddenly remembering something.
She walked back to Jiang Shan and took out her phone, handing it to him.
“I don’t have your new number.
Do you mind giving me your contact information? Since we are former classmates, I may trouble you in the future,” she said while looking at Wei Yue Er.

Wei Yue Er refused to be petty in front of this strange woman.
“It’s fine.
I don’t mind.”

Jiang Shan wanted to take Mei Li’s cell phone, but Li Su stopped him.
Li Su looked at Jiang Shan and said seriously, “Son, exchanging contact information with other women in front of your wife is wrong.
You are already married, so you need to have a sense of your daily life and personal affairs.
Yue Er said that she didn’t mind, but she is being generous.
Don’t be confused.”

Afterwards, she looked at Mei Li.
“Ms.
Mei, if you are really college classmates with my son, how can you not have his contact information? Even if my son changed his number after graduation, isn’t there a university group still? If you need anything, you can say it in the group.
My son will definitely help.
As for getting along privately… Forget it!”

Mei Li’s face was a bit ugly.
She had known where to find Jiang Shan.
The reason she asked for Jiang Shan’s contact information in front of Wei Yue Er was purely to see if she could upset Wei Yue Er.
She gambled on the fact that Wei Yue Er would surely not expose her jealous side in front of her mother-in-law.

Unexpectedly, the one who opposed it wasn’t Wei Yue Er, it was Jiang Shan’s mother! This made Mei Li very embarrassed.

As Jiang Shan was Mei Li’s lover for 3 years, when he saw her embarrassment, he said, “Mum is right.
I will pay attention next time.
Mei Li, I am still in the university group.
If you have something to ask me, you can ask me through the group.
I will help you if I can.
It’s late.
Mum, didn’t you invite Yue Er to Bai Wei Zhai for lunch? Let’s go or we won’t be able to get a seat.” He then dragged Wei Yue Er and Li Su out.
