Gu Yunyang pondered for a moment and said, "Since you can't accept the first one, it seems you don't want to take care of Gu Hansheng."

Indeed, it's true what they say: "Husbands and wives are like birds in the same forest; when disaster strikes, they fly away separately."

An awkward silence fell over the room. Gu Yunyang continued, "Then I'll give the money to my uncle so he can take care of Gu Hansheng. As for you, we'll stick to the previous agreement. When you turn fifty, I'll give you three yuan a month for retirement."

Ning An's face contorted with rage: "Three yuan isn't enough! It's not even enough for food, I..."

“You’re not disabled, you’re only almost forty years old, and people like you earn ten work points every day.”

You can't even support yourself? That's truly pathetic.

Gu Yunyang didn't hold back, cursing Ning An as worse than a piece of trash.

Gu Hanping was willing to take care of Gu Hansheng, who was originally his own younger brother.

Besides, Gu Yunyang said he would give three yuan a month, which would be enough for Gu Hansheng to eat.

But the atmosphere at the scene made it difficult for him to speak.

Gu Yunyang thought for a moment and said, "That's true."

Ning An thought Gu Yunyang would be more lenient, but to her surprise, Gu Yunyang did indeed become more lenient.

He said, “Then how about this, I’ll give you five catties of refined grains and fifteen catties of coarse grains every month. I think that should be enough, right? I’ll hire someone to help me grow my private plot. As for vegetables, you can just have me pick them from the field, no limit.”

Ning An's face contorted in a ferocious expression. If there weren't so many people around, Gu Yunyang had no doubt that she might have rushed over and bit him.

You actually dare to say five catties of refined grains?

Ning An said, "Isn't our retirement allowance based on your circumstances? You eat so well, and this is all you get? Five catties of fine grain? It's not even enough to fill a tooth gap."

Gu Yunyang scoffed, "This is the first time I've heard of retirement allowances being based on the son's financial situation. Does that mean the sons in the village who aren't well-off don't need to provide food or money? Because their circumstances don't allow it."

After a pause, Gu Yunyang continued, "Besides, I've never even eaten a single grain of fine grain from you. Is five catties of fine grain a month too little?"

"That's sixty jin a year. Ask the brigade leader, ask the clan elders, how many jin of refined grain they get in a year."

Several clan elders, misled by Ning An's words, still wanted to speak.

But thinking about it carefully, it does seem to be true.

The village provides elderly care services, but there are slight differences depending on the circumstances.

But there is little difference in general.

Gu Yunyang was indeed well-off; he even prepared dowries for his older sisters.

Wait a minute, isn't this something parents should be doing?

No wonder none of the children are willing to support them in their old age.

Who can you blame for the mess you created?

And Gu Yunyang was right. He hadn't even eaten a single grain of rice with Gu Hansheng and Ning An, so the fact that he was willing to give them five catties of fine grain a month was already quite generous.

A family might not even get a lot of refined grains in a year.

An elder added, "Five catties of fine grain is quite a lot. He didn't eat much afterwards, just two ounces of fine grain mixed with coarse grain for each meal. You really can't say anything more about these conditions."

Ning An's chest heaved; she was furious.

These old geezers, don't they realize they're parents too?

If all children are like this in the future, and I don't give them any money for their old age, let's see what they do on their own.

"And what's your third option?" Ning An asked again, unwilling to give up.

Gu Yunyang chuckled softly, but the sound was like a heavy hammer blow to Ning An's heart.

She had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, the next moment, Gu Yunyang said, "If you can't satisfy the first two demands, then I'll hire an older woman to take care of Gu Hansheng. You just need to take care of yourself. That way, you shouldn't have anything to say, right?"

"If you feel that Gu Hansheng is getting in your way, I can even let him move into Auntie's house. Anyway, he's only the mental age of a five-year-old; no one will suspect anything between him and Auntie, right?"

Ning An's face was extremely pale.

This person dares to say anything.
