Urban Hidden Dragon

Chapter 258
Zhao Dong hurriedly explained from the side, "Sister-in-law, it's like this, Xiao Fei's house is going to be redecorated, and she will be transitioning at our house during this time."

The sister-in-law was stunned, "You mean, Xiaofei is coming over? Move to our house?"

All along, she only knew that Sophie's family was good and she was the leader in the company. As for how much money her family had, she never asked in detail.

Now that she heard that she was going to move to the Zhao family's old house, she didn't react for a while.

Coming from Sophie's family, she is willing to come to the old house, isn't it a joke?
It's not that old houses are bad, but she heard that Sophie lived in a villa before, can people get used to living in old houses?

Besides, this matter is not as simple as moving here.

If she stayed for three or five days, she would definitely give her a warm welcome, after all, they will be a family in the future.

But what if the two of them live for a long time?
Accommodation is one aspect, it is simple, just provide a bed, what about daily life?
In the past, Zhao Dong seldom lived at home, and seldom ate at home. Of course, she would not care about coming back once in a while.

But if it is a long-term stay, then there are more considerations.

Food, water, electricity, gas, including garbage cleaning fees are all additional expenses.

And more importantly, who will prepare three meals a day?
Judging by Sophie's appearance, she must be the kind of daughter who doesn't touch the spring water. It is unrealistic to ask her to go to the kitchen.

Besides, she is not yet the daughter-in-law of the Zhao family, and it is impossible for her to be in the kitchen.

But you can't leave all the cooking to yourself, can you?

It was her duty to support the elderly. Both Zhao Dong and Sophie were young and strong, so why should she serve them?
After working for a whole day, taking care of three old and young ones is already tiring enough. Adding the two of them, is this using her as a nanny?

If you eat it separately, it's simple, and you definitely don't have these concerns.

But will mother agree?

Seeing his sister-in-law hesitate, Zhao Dong also had a headache.

When he thought about it before, it was quite simple, thinking that moving here would be the end of the matter, but now he suddenly realized that he hadn't considered the family's shortcoming and interpersonal relationship.

Although he and his eldest brother are brothers and don't care about those things, sister-in-law and Sophie are two families after all.

It's okay to meet occasionally, but if we live together, we must make a clear distinction, otherwise sooner or later there will be rifts.

But how should I say these words?
Zhao Dong was in trouble for a while.

It was the eldest brother, who took a sip of the wine and said cheerfully: "Haha, that's fine, you have some skills, so you brought Miss Su to the door?"

Mother Zhao also said cheerfully: "Xiaofei is willing to come, we have to welcome it. But she and Xiaodong are just boyfriend and girlfriend, it's not suitable to live together, so I want to give her my room."

The sister-in-law raised her brows, and trouble really came!
She didn't say anything, there were three rooms on the east and west sides, and it was enough to live in either side.

It's just that I feel a little uncomfortable. Xiaodong has been serving as a soldier outside these years, and her mother is supported by her.

Now that Xiaodong has retired from the army and found a stable job in Tianzhou, seeing that he has found a girlfriend, he sends his mother to her side?

She knew her uncle well, and with his personality, he would definitely not make such a request. The only possibility was that Sophie spoke.

My sister-in-law used to like Sophie very much. She felt that she was temperamental, educated, and beautiful. If she could marry into the Zhao family, she would also have a bright face.

But today, I couldn't help but make a mistake. If I played such a trick before I entered the door, it would turn the world upside down in the future?

Moreover, she felt that Zhao's mother's position was wrong, and she was partial to Zhao Dong. Could it be that she also favored the youngest son's girlfriend?

Then she can't do it!
Seeing that the sister-in-law didn't speak, Zhao's mother frowned, "Boss, daughter-in-law, do you have any objections?"

The eldest brother hurriedly smoothed things over, "Mom, what's the matter, what can she say? This is a good thing, we are too happy!"

The sister-in-law also followed suit, "That's right, it's indeed a good thing, but...Mom, Miss Su will move to our place in the future, what can we do with the food?"

I don't blame her for thinking too much. The current meal is prepared by Zhao's mother for lunch, and she prepares for morning and evening.

Mother Zhao gets 500 yuan a month, and she makes up the rest.

Zhao Dong occasionally went home for a meal, so he didn't bother to open his mouth to ask for it.

After all, if Sophie moves here, can't she still be like this?
Zhao Dong hurriedly said: "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I will definitely take the food expenses. Xiaofei and I won't come back at noon, and I have to trouble my sister-in-law for the rest. 5000 yuan per month, do you think it is enough?"

The sister-in-law was overjoyed. According to her initial thought, Zhao Dong could just spend 3000 yuan, which could barely maintain the balance of payments. At least she didn't need to subsidize too much.

In the end, it didn't come to fruition, my uncle was quite sensible, and he opened his mouth for five thousand.

In this way, there will be a lot left in her hands.

But before she agreed, Mother Zhao said, "What kind of food expenses do you need? You haven't married yet, so you still need to pay for meals at home?"

The two mother-in-law and daughter-in-law rarely argue.

"Mom, you can't say that. If there is only Xiaodong alone, I will definitely not say anything, but Miss Su's side can't be counted on our heads, right?"

"Since Xiao Fei is willing to come, she is a guest. Could it be that you still want to collect money?"

"If you stay for three or two days, you are called a guest. If you stay for three or two months, you are also called a guest? Even if you rent a house, you still have to pay rent!"

"What do you mean, Xiaodong will pay you rent when he goes back to his own home?"

"Mom, I didn't mean that."

"No matter what you mean, as long as you don't have a family, you don't get food expenses. This is a rule I set. If you want to deny it, unless you are not the daughter-in-law of the Zhao family!"

The sister-in-law was defeated.

The eldest brother hurriedly smoothed things over, "Yes, yes, just do what Mom wants."

Zhao Dong also opened his mouth, "Mom, sister-in-law is right, I should take the money."

Zhao's mother glared at him, "What's the matter, the wings are stiff, and I can't control you anymore?"

Zhao Dong could only shut up obediently.

……

After lunch, mother Zhao and elder brother went back to tidy up their rooms.

The sister-in-law went to clean up the kitchen, and Zhao Dong followed after picking up the bowls and chopsticks.

He persuaded and said: "Sister-in-law, I blame me for this matter today. I should have greeted you in advance. It is really urgent, so don't take it to heart."

"Xiaodong, needless to say, my sister-in-law is right about things and wrong about people."

"Yes, yes, family, don't hurt your peace."

As he spoke, he hurriedly took out a card from his pocket and stuffed it into the hands of his sister-in-law.

The sister-in-law wiped her hands, "Xiaodong, what do you mean?"

Zhao Dong explained, "Sister-in-law, in fact, Xiaofei and I have discussed it a long time ago. You will keep the money, and I will pay in a fixed amount for living expenses every month."

"Xiaodong, what mother said just now is very clear, I can't take this money!"

Although the sister-in-law was not convinced, she still obeyed her mother's decision.

Zhao Dong said firmly, "If you don't accept the money, Xiaofei and I will rent a house outside, and we will definitely not come back to live in it!"

The sister-in-law was even more embarrassed, "Xiaodong, aren't you embarrassing me? If you let your elder brother know, you would think I kicked you two out!"

"Then you just accept the money. I won't tell mom, and don't tell brother, it's settled!"

Looking at the back of Zhao Dong leaving, the sister-in-law felt guilty.

She even regretted it a bit. Even if the two of them come back, they will only stay for three or two months at most. Is it necessary to argue over this matter?
