Return to 88: Starting from Marrying My Sister-in-law

The two sisters were quite uninhibited in their witty remarks, since there were no outsiders present.

Yin Mingzhu also breathed a sigh of relief.

He sensed that his younger sister wasn't particularly averse to his arrival at this time.

"What an adorable baby."

"Auntie, I really like you. How about I stay and keep you company for a few more days, okay, Fanfan?"

Holding her little nephew in her arms.

Yin Mingzhu pressed her face against the child's face repeatedly, as if she particularly liked children, but her eyes were constantly watching her younger sister's reaction after hearing what she said.

Yin Mingyue smiled and said, "This courtyard house has plenty of rooms. Since you also like our Fanfan, why don't you move in as well?"

Yin Mingzhu's expression froze for a moment. "Little sister, do you really think so?"

She felt that her younger sister seemed a little off today.

Things are a little different from before.

My younger sister would never have said something like this before; at most, she would neither approve nor disapprove. But today, she actually took the initiative to invite her older sister to move in with her.

Is it...

Is it because she had a son that she felt confident?

This courtyard house had just been renovated not long ago. When my younger sister's family moved in, my mother came along with them.

So her eldest daughter, who works in Beijing, naturally moved here as well and lived here for a while.

Speaking of which, this courtyard house has had Yin Mingzhu's room from the very beginning, and it was decorated according to her personal preferences.

However, later, my younger sister and her family moved back to Shenzhen.

If she, as both the older sister and the sister-in-law, continues to linger here as before, treating this place like her own home, then that would be a bit inappropriate.

So no matter what her mother said, she let her live here because it's close to the TV station, the transportation is convenient, and the environment is good. It's so much better than the small apartment room she lives in now, which doesn't even have a private bathroom.

But she wasn't shameless enough to do that. After her mother flew back to Shenzhen to take care of her pregnant younger sister, she packed her bags overnight and moved back to her own studio apartment.

Coming here today was naturally a breeze.

Yin Mingyue shook her head, knowing what her sister was surprised about. "So much time has passed, I've almost forgotten about the past. Why do you still care? If there really is something... well... you can't stop it anyway, so why not let nature take its course?"

That being said, if that day really comes, Yin Mingzhu doesn't believe her sister can handle it calmly.

However, since the younger sister has this confidence and has already begun to let down her guard against her older sister, she naturally won't refuse this kindness.

So he immediately put on a very happy look and nodded, saying, "Then I'm really moving in? You're not allowed to regret it later."

Yin Mingyue smiled and shook her head, taking the son from her sister's arms and saying, "Fanfan is hungry, I'll feed him some milk first."

Having failed to continue what a great mother should do, Yin Mingyue, in front of her sister, lifted her clothes at this moment.

When I felt a tightness in my chest, my son had already bitten me and was sucking with all his might.

Yin Mingyue's eyes narrowed as she said, "I will keep my word, but you should think it over carefully, sister. Once you've done something, there's no going back. You've already made the wrong choice once before, so don't make the same mistake again."

This statement is not just a double entendre, but even a triple entendre.

After hearing this, Yin Mingzhu's expression suddenly became somewhat unnatural.

She gave her twin sister a deep look as she picked up her clothes to breastfeed her child right in front of her, the older sister. "Sister, you're right. I should be more careful. I just didn't expect that after you got married, only a few years later, you not only got rid of your stuttering but have also become quite eloquent."

Yin Mingyue said calmly, "This is naturally all thanks to your kindness, sister."

Yin Mingzhu's eyes narrowed. "Is that so?"

Yin Mingyue raised her hand and gently patted her son's back, stroking him back and forth to prevent him from drinking milk too quickly and choking.

Only after she had finished doing all that did she slowly and calmly say with a smile, "Sister, don't be angry. I was just telling the truth."

After hearing this, Yin Mingzhu smiled instead of getting angry and said, "That's right, I'm just telling the truth. You're not angry, are you, little sister?"

Yin Mingyue shook her head. "My stuttering problem has long been cured, so naturally I won't be angry with you anymore. It's just that you... I'm not very well-educated, so I might speak without thinking. I hope you, the academic genius, can be more tolerant of me."

She brought it up again and again. Just mentioning the word "academic superstar" gave Yin Mingzhu a headache.

After studying for so many years, neglecting sleep and meals, I dreamed of coming to the capital to see the outside world. But now that I'm here, what I've gained over the years is not as much as my silly younger sister who dropped out of school early because of her stutter.

Take a deep breath.

Yin Mingzhu desperately suppressed the discomfort in her chest and forced a smile, saying, "Little sister, what kind of person do you think I am? Of course I'm not that petty. Don't worry, we sisters have a deep bond. We won't target each other over such a small matter, right?"

What a double entendre.

Yin Mingyue felt that if she continued to go along with her sister's words, she would be cornered and left speechless.

No wonder he's a top student.

So he changed the subject, asking, "Sister, are you going to continue working as an assistant host at the TV station this time you're back?"

Because her mother had previously told her that her older sister, Yin Mingzhu, was likely to leave CCTV and do something else.

Although she was still very confused before.

After all, working at CCTV as a reporter and a glamorous host has always been my sister's dream since she was a teenager.

For this, I studied diligently and even made the decision to betray my brother Lu Yang. Now, I've finally achieved it after much difficulty.

The dream has come true and is now reflected in reality. It's only been a few short years. Are we going to give up already?

She didn't quite understand or could guess what her sister was thinking, but since her mother had said so, it must mean that her sister had mentioned it to her mother at some point.

As long as it has been mentioned, that's fine.

Since it has already been mentioned, it doesn't prevent her from saying these things now.

Yin Mingzhu, on the other hand, was not at all surprised that her younger sister knew about her idea of ​​leaving CCTV.

Because their mother wasn't someone who could keep secrets.

She likes to confide in her twin daughters about everything. She tells her younger sister everything that happens to the older sister, and sometimes she tells her older sister some things that happen to the younger sister.

Even her cheap brother-in-law.

Mom sometimes tells her eldest daughter on the phone what business she's been doing lately and how big of a project she's invested in.

Yin Mingzhu thought about it carefully and felt there was no need to hide it from her sister, so she said frankly, "Yes, that's right. I've decided to resign, and I've even written and submitted my resignation letter. I'm just waiting for approval. So, I'll probably have to move out soon. After all, the apartment I'm currently living in was allocated to me by my workplace. Now that I'm no longer working at CCTV, my years of service are far from enough, so I'll have to move out and return the apartment. Sister, you won't regret letting me come over and save on rent, will you?"

Working at CCTV was her dream before, but it depends on who you compare yourself to.

Take this courtyard house right here, for example. Although its property value is not as high as many apartment buildings, this courtyard house is huge!
This is a three-courtyard house. Even if the house price is slightly lower, the total price is still quite high, several million yuan. And that doesn't even include the cost of the exquisite decoration and renovation of the ancient building. If she continues to stay at CCTV, she simply cannot afford it even if she works for 100 years.

Not to mention the large villas in Shenzhen and the big yachts moored at the Snakehead Wharf.

It was only after seeing better things that I suddenly realized that my childhood dreams were not so lofty after all.

So, on countless nights, she silently told herself: Yin Mingzhu, you deserve better.

Do it when you think of it.

Once you have a goal, you must work towards achieving it.

Yin Mingzhu happens to have no shortage of execution ability, so after returning to Beijing from Shenzhen, she only pondered for less than two nights before making up her mind to resign from CCTV and start her own business.

That's right, it's starting a business.

As for the source of funds, she had already thought it through. Since it was money that the guy didn't want, then the 30 yuan should belong to her, Yin Mingzhu.

It was just the right amount of capital she could use, and she had also worked hard to save some money over the years, which added up to about 50 yuan, enough to start the company she envisioned.

As for donating the money?

That guy did say that, that's true, but why should I listen to him?
The money was personally handed to her by Mr. He, and it was agreed that she, as the middleman, would receive a commission.

However, because the business deal fell through and she had tricked that guy, she felt guilty. That's why she decided to make a trip to Pengcheng to give the money to him to make up for his loss.

But they didn't want it themselves!

Then forget it. As for advising her to donate the money to charity, pshaw, only a fool would do that.

If Yin Mingzhu had 100 million yuan in cash savings right now, she might grit her teeth and actually listen to that guy and donate all of it, or at least a portion of it, to avoid being looked down upon by him.

If Yin Mingzhu had 1000 million yuan in cash savings right now, she wouldn't hesitate at all. If that guy just said one thing to persuade her to donate the money, she would not only agree to donate, but she would also add the same amount. It's just 30 yuan, right? She can donate it, it's not like she can't afford it.

Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs".

She really does have 30 yuan, no more and no less, just that 30 yuan. Anything extra is money she earned through hard work, and it's not even as much as that 30 yuan. Is it realistic for her to donate that money?
Yes, she really disliked being looked down upon by that guy and was very eager to prove herself in front of him, but was it necessary to turn down money?

Is it really that hard to face reality?
Let me say it: I am mercenary and I love money. But if I succeed in my business in the future and become as rich as that guy, I can use the money to do a lot of good deeds and help more people. Isn't that more meaningful than donating all 30 yuan now?

Yin Mingzhu has lived up to her own conscience, which is why she dares to sit here with confidence and openly share her vision for the future with her younger sister, who is curious about why she, as the older sister, suddenly resigned.

After hearing this, Yin Mingyue remained silent for a long time. Finally, considering that the person in front of her was her own sister, she said, "Since you've decided to start your own business, then go for it bravely. I support you."

She didn't even mention 30.

Even if the donation is given to a charity, it may not all be spent on the poor; it might even be misappropriated somewhere else.

Since marrying Lu Yang, Yin Mingyue is no longer an innocent girl. As a top-tier wealthy wife in the circle of the rich, she has attended countless charity salons held by charitable organizations. With more exposure to such things, she naturally learns a lot of inside information.

Rather than letting this money disappear in the end, well, it's better to use it to help my sister start her business.

"But sister, I heard from Brother Lu Yang that starting a business is very busy. Some people work from dawn till dusk every day, as busy as a spinning top. Forget about dating, even eating, drinking, and taking a dump are too slow. You should think it through. Once you start a business, it's like falling into a deep sea, and you'll never have a comfortable life again. Brother Lu Yang wouldn't lie to me. Maybe, sister... we should just give up, okay?"

She had a ready-made job, a secure position, a decent status, and a respectable life. If Yin Mingyue had to choose, she would definitely choose to stay at CCTV.

What a great job, isn't it?

comfortable.

The most precious thing in a person's life is peace and comfort.

“You don’t need to persuade me anymore. I know what I’m doing. Being content with the status quo is not my choice, Yin Mingzhu. I will always be chasing my dreams. Now that my childhood dream has come true, I should pursue the dream I want to have now. Sister, you should wish me well, right?”

Yin Mingyue hesitated for a moment and said, "But sister, Brother Lu Yang is coming to Beijing this time because he has a very important project to discuss with the leaders of CCTV. If you were still at CCTV, you might get a promotion."

Lu Yang never hides anything from his wife. His purpose in coming to the capital this time is to spend money and advertise to help his company's products increase brand influence.

Yin Mingzhu: "..."

No, sis, you're only telling me this now? Are you sincere, really sincere? Don't you think it's too late?
How infuriating! (End of Chapter)
