The 70s Novel: The Supporting Character Just Wants to Lie Down-Chapter 317: Daughter and Daughter-in-Law

Liu Yulan was truly infuriated by this foolish son of hers. How could he hide such a big thing from her, and for so many years?

From the way Cheng Xue talked, it seemed like he would visit her during summer and winter breaks. This relationship definitely wasn’t just for a year, otherwise, why would she use the word ’always’?

Oh dear, she was so angry that her heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys all hurt...

Liu Yulan was out of breath from running, this kid ran faster than a rabbit, running in circles, leaving her dizzy.

She stood there, panting heavily, thumping her chest to calm herself, thinking: It’s not worth it to get so worked up over this stupid boy, don’t be angry anymore...

Finally feeling a little better, she looked up to find her foolish son, only to see him making faces at her from behind, grinning and dancing about, looking utterly silly.

She turned around slightly and saw, oh dear, her future daughter-in-law leaning at the door, trying to contain her laughter, overflowing with charm.

Liu Yulan couldn’t help but laugh too, sharing that knowing smile among mothers.

Cheng Xue caught her gaze and shyly straightened up, pretending not to see Wang Jia Bao’s antics.

Wang Jia Bao, not getting the reaction he wanted, realized something was off. Sensing danger, he quickly dodged, narrowly missing the broom that flew past his face. Good heavens, if I hadn’t moved, it would’ve hit right on my face... His mother must really have a deep-seated grudge against him...

"Dear, let’s go inside. Watching that monkey act out there is no fun," Liu Yulan said with a motherly smile, holding Cheng Xue’s arm. Cheng Xue took one last glance at her foolish boyfriend who was left dumbfounded in the yard, waved unkindly, and followed her future mother-in-law inside.

In short, Liu Yulan was exceedingly fond of Cheng Xue as her daughter-in-law, genuinely wanting to treat her as her own daughter. As for her son, he was left in her mind’s corner. He was too much trouble anyway, better to focus on the daughter-in-law. Waiting for a big, healthy grandson...

Knowing her son would continue to develop his career in Beijing, Liu Yulan didn’t hesitate to empty the family savings and contacted Wang Miaomiao to help buy a house.

She knew the Cheng Family’s conditions were better than the Wang Family’s, so she was just doing her best. Her son had been studying all these years without savings, but she knew Xiao Xue was making a lot from running a factory.

In terms of marriage, her son was marrying up, nothing else to say. Materially they couldn’t match up, but the sincerity must be there.

Wang Miaomiao didn’t hesitate either, taking the money and promising to handle the house matter.

After all, she had only this brother, and her relationship with Xiao Xue was special. How could she not help?

The old couple had simple lifestyles, and with their daughters’ help, they managed well. Yang Zhigang often provided meat and vegetables, and Wang Miaomiao took care of any additional needs. The couple had been able to save quite a bit over the years.

However, buying a house in Beijing took a lot of effort. Wang Miaomiao even got Jiang Yan involved to buy another courtyard next to Xiao Xue’s, connecting them for more space.

The remaining money was soon covered by Wang Miaomiao without a second thought.

Liu Yulan offered to pay her back over the years, but Wang Miaomiao refused outright.

Rolling her eyes, she said, "If you give it to me, I’ll double it back to you. It’s just a small amount, and your daughter and son-in-law aren’t relying on it. Besides, this house is for your daughter’s brother and your son-in-law’s niece. Why split hairs? If you keep bringing this up, I’ll get angry."

What could Liu Yulan do but bring large packages of pickles, mushrooms, and gifts the next time she visited Beijing?

They got the house, but renovating such big courtyards wasn’t cheap. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

It was unrealistic to expect Liu Yulan and Wang Baoxing to pay for it.

Wang Miaomiao wanted to handle it, but the Cheng Family disagreed.

Cheng Hongbing was already satisfied enough with the Wang Family and deeply grateful to Wang Miaomiao.

If the renovation costs fell on her, it would be inappropriate. No matter how close relatives and friends are, one can’t take advantage endlessly...

Relationships can’t withstand such strains.

Thus, Cheng Hongbing insisted that since the house was bought by the groom’s side, the bride’s side would handle the renovation. Marriage was about two people and two families, so both sides must contribute. As their father and future father-in-law, he had to do his part too.

Having put it that way, Wang Miaomiao accepted it happily. Everyone was doing this for the couple’s future happiness, working together harmoniously.

So, the renovation matter was taken over by Mr. Cheng.

For Cheng Xue, it wasn’t her intention to use her father’s money, as she didn’t lack funds herself. But it was rare to see her father so enthusiastic and energized about something, so she didn’t want to dampen his spirits.

However, she still had a brother to consider. If their father burned through his savings for her, what about her brother who was still single and struggling...

So, Cheng Xue secretly bought another courtyard house and registered it under Cheng Qi’s name. It was quite far from home, over half an hour’s journey. But good properties are rare to come by...

In July, Wang Jia Bao’s job was secured in Beijing, helped by the Jiang Family, at a special government department.

Upon receiving his paycheck, he handed over his salary card to Xiao Xue in front of everyone, without a second thought.

Earning his future father-in-law’s approval and his future wife’s playful glance.

Wang Miaomiao suddenly felt like both a bride and groomswoman, watching the affectionate couple made her want to smile widely.

And she really did smile.

However, this smile was perceived differently by some.

"What? Jealous? Isn’t my salary card also in your hands?" Jiang Yan teased, holding her hand under the table and tickling her palm with a mock grumble.

Wang Miaomiao shot him a speechless look, "What are you thinking? Don’t you think they look like a perfect match? Handsome and beautiful, like a golden couple... They’re such eye candy."

Jiang Yan raised an eyebrow, "Don’t you think those words describe us best, and they’re just leftovers?"
