Over the next month, my younger sister-in-law was busy contacting overseas agents.
One day, when I came back from work, she reached out to me with a smile, "Sister-in-law, can you lend me another twenty thousand yuan?"
Xu Xin was ten years younger than Xu Feng, and she was usually quite spoiled by the family.
After I started dating Xu Feng, sometimes when she wanted to buy clothes, cosmetics, or something, I would give her three to five hundred yuan.
But this time, she asked for twenty thousand at once.
I asked, "What do you need so much money for?"
My younger sister-in-law said shyly, "I just met a boyfriend, and next week is his birthday. I want to buy him a gift."
I was taken aback, "You are about to study abroad soon, why are you getting into a relationship now?"
"I'm not going anymore." My younger sister-in-law said indifferently, "When it comes to studying abroad, how can it be more important than my relationship with my boyfriend?"
"What about the two hundred thousand I gave you last time?"
"Spent it, bought a car for my boyfriend," she said casually, as if she had bought a Lego set.
I held my breath, "Xin Xin, this two hundred thousand was for you to study abroad. If you're not going, you should return the money to me."
"I already said, this money was used to buy a car for Song Fan."
"If you have money, you can buy anything for your boyfriend, but you can't use my money to support a man."
"Sister-in-law, why are you speaking so harshly? What do you mean by using your money to support a man? It's just two hundred thousand, it's not a big deal for you, why do you have to argue with me about it?"
We argued, and Xu Feng and my mother-in-law came over.
"What's going on? Why are you arguing?"
"Ask her," I pointed to my younger sister-in-law.
Xu Xin leaned against my mother-in-law, saying with grievance, "Sister-in-law is bullying me. I got a boyfriend, and she scolded me."
My mother-in-law glanced at me, "Xin Xin is not young anymore, it's time for her to have a boyfriend."
"Mom, it's not about having a boyfriend..."
"I bought something for my boyfriend, and sister-in-law thinks I'm spending too much money," Xu Xin interrupted.
My mother-in-law was a little upset, "Young people in love, it's normal to give each other gifts. Xin Xin, tell mom how much you spent, mom will give it to you."
I looked at my younger sister-in-law coldly.
Xu Xin hesitated and couldn't say it for a while.
"It's okay, with mom and your brother here, just say it."
"Twenty... thousand."
"What?" Xu Feng couldn't believe his ears, "What did you buy that cost twenty thousand?"
Xu Xin pouted, "I bought a car."
Seeing her brother about to explode, she added, "Actually, I didn't buy a fancy car, just an Audi A1. Song Fan was not happy, saying the car was too cheap."
I sneered, "Complaining about a free meal, truly an eye-opener."
"You're not allowed to insult my boyfriend." Xu Xin jumped out of her mother's arms, "You can drive a Land Rover yourself, why can't Song Fan complain about the car being too small?"
"I earned the Land Rover with my own ability. If he's a man, he should return the money for the car."
"Gifts shouldn't come with a price tag. I won't do something so embarrassing."
"Fine, this is the money you borrowed from me. If you don't ask him for it, then you have to repay it yourself."
Xu Xin burst into tears, "I don't have any money! You're forcing me to die."
My mother-in-law hugged my younger sister-in-law, comforting her while saying, "Xin Xin is still young, she lacks discretion in her actions. Spending two hundred thousand on a car is indeed a bit much. But since she has already given it away, it wouldn't be good to take it back. Xue Ning, for the sake of my face, don't argue with her."
A whole two hundred thousand! Just a simple 'don't argue' and it's all water under the bridge?
I said lightly, "Two hundred thousand is not a small amount. Xin Xin, you should tell your boyfriend to sell the car and return the money, even if it means taking a loss, to repay it as soon as possible."
