Chapter 94: Digging a Hole
Ying Sisi almost laughed out loud.
So you need me, huh?
But you have asked the wrong person.
How could I possibly help you?
Besides, you're twisting the truth.
“How can I help?” She asked insincerely, teasing Song Hanmei.
“You can ask your father-in-law to mediate your sister's situation. He's a big shot. It's just one word from him.”
“I'm just a junior. Would he listen to me? You should go with Dad.” Ying Sisi declined.
If it were Li Junlu's matter, she could speak up.
It's inappropriate for me to ask my father-in-law to help Li Yuwei, right?
It's acceptable to ask for help after I marry into the Qin family and live with them. But I haven't married in yet. Is it appropriate for me to do this?
You're trying to dig a hole for me, aren't you?
“Your dad and I can't bring ourselves to ask.” Song Hanmei tried her best to persuade Sisi to help. “You have to do this.”
Ying Sisi waved her hand. “I can't.”
Song Hanmei's face turned cold. “You're wasting my affection.”
Ying Sisi thought, You can't pretend anymore? She also put on a cold face. “I don't need your affection.” She went into the bathroom to brush her teeth and wash her face. She went back to her room, rubbed some face cream on, and rode her bike to the street.
When Song Hanmei saw her leave.
She gritted her teeth.
“This little vixen.”
Li Yuwei cried from her room. “Mom, what if she doesn't want to help? I don't want to lose this job.” Feng Shuangxi is going through a rough patch right now. If she loses her job, how will they live if they get married later?
They'll have to rely on their parents for support.
They'll still criticize and look down on Feng Shuangxi.
If Feng Shuangxi becomes successful later, will he feel good when he thinks about this?
It will be hard for her to be stuck in the middle.
“What's the use of regretting it now? Who told you to go to the black market?” Song Hanmei still didn't understand why Li Yuwei went to such a place.
“I was curious. Wuu wuu…” Li Yuwei couldn't explain. She couldn't tell Song Hanmei that she took Feng Shuangxi to get a feel for the market beforehand, could she?
“Curious? Are you curious? You… I have no words for you.” Song Hanmei felt exhausted.
Li Yuwei sniffed. “Mom, if all else fails, you can go directly to Qin Yanci's dad. Tell him that if he doesn't help, you'll tell everyone about his lust for his daughter-in-law. He'll definitely compromise.”
“Do you have any evidence? If you can get evidence, I'll go right now. If it's just hearsay, I'll be asking for trouble if I go. I saw Sisi's reaction clearly. It wasn't like you said. She's avoiding the issue. You said that you made a— Ugh, I've said enough. I don't want to talk. I have to go to work today. Stay home and reflect on yourself.” Song Hanmei took her bag and left.

After Sisi entered the department store, she went straight to the fabric section. She chose a light-colored fabric and a slightly brighter one and asked for the price.
“This is cotton. It's one yuan and two cents per meter if you have a ration coupon. It's one yuan and eight cents if you don't.”
Ying Sisi said, “Six meters of each.” Grandma is thin. One cotton coat plus the lining and outer fabric for pants should be enough.
The clerk wrapped the fabric. “Miss, it's ten yuan and eight cents.”
“Okay.” Ying Sisi was about to pay when someone called out to her.
“Sisi.”
Ying Sisi turned around and was surprised. “Mom, why are you here?”
“I came early to do some shopping.” Mother Qin walked over and scanned the fabrics. “Buying fabric to make clothes? Would that color look too old on you? How much is it?”
“It's for my grandma. It's ten yuan and eight cents.” Ying Sisi handed the money to the clerk.
Mother Qin pressed her hand down. “I have ration coupons.” She asked the clerk. “How much is it with ration coupons?”
“Seven yuan and two cents.”
