Lin Yongnian looked at his eldest daughter-in-law with dissatisfaction. The second son was right. That was his money. He could give it to whomever he wanted. She was in charge.

Lin Guodong slammed the table, "Lin Jianshe, who are you talking about?"

Lin Jianshe was stunned for a moment, and also slammed the table, "Just tell me what's wrong with your wife?"

"I think you're looking for a fight."

"You try to hit one." The two brothers were on the verge of a fight.

Lin Yongnian was so angry that his face turned blue and he slammed the table loudly.

"I'm not dead yet. If you want to fight in front of me, get out of here with me."

The two brothers immediately stopped fighting.

Lin Yongnian scolded with a stern face, "You are so petty for a little money, brother. I know who taught you to be so petty."

놛I have never taken care of a child before, so it must be Li Shuping who taught her.

"This is just a small amount of money." Zhang Jiao retorted, and quickly calculated in her mind, "This is 668 yuan!"

Lin Yongnian: "...Where did 668 come from?"

Zhang Jiao counted on her fingers and said, "The difference between my betrothal gift and Liu Qin's is 488, and the difference between my getting off the car and Liu Qin's is 180, so the total is 668."

"Dad, I want to argue with you about the previous betrothal gifts. The betrothal gifts between me and the second son's wife are so different. Others will say that I, Zhang Jiao, am not as well-liked by my parents-in-law as the second daughter-in-law of the Lin family, so the betrothal gifts are so much less than that of the second son's wife."

"My parents used to be formal employees of a shoe factory, and I am also a formal employee of a quilt factory. My conditions are only better than Liu Qin's, not worse than hers! If I don't care, then I am admitting that I am like Liu Qin in every way, so I can't care."

"It's just like that." Lin Jianshe muttered softly.

With her big basin face and flat nose, how can she compare with Qinqin from the Dong family?

Liu Qin glared at Zhang Jiao angrily. She said these words obviously looking down on her parents and her as temporary employees!

"What did you say?" Lin Guodong heard it, but didn't hear it clearly.

Lin Jianshe shook his head, "Nothing."

As Lin Yongnian listened, he felt that what his eldest daughter-in-law said made some sense. The difference in the amount of the betrothal gift was so large that outsiders would definitely gossip about her, and anyone would feel uncomfortable.

"So what do you want to do?" Lin Yongnian asked Zhang Jiao.

Zhang Jiao pursed her lips and took a deep breath. "I'll make up the difference between the betrothal gifts and the money for getting off the bus between me and Liu Qin. I'll tell you about the 800 you gave me, second brother."

I gave the 800 to mom, and it will all belong to everyone from now on.

Lin Jianshe: "Can you say that?"

Zhang Jiao clapped her hands and said, "I can say that because your eldest brother got his job by himself, without relying on his family or spending any of their money, I can say that."

Lin Jianshe: "Then I went to the countryside to work on the land, while my elder brother and Xiaoyu are enjoying a good life in the city. It is only right that my parents spend money and effort to find me a job as compensation."

Among the three siblings, only one went to the countryside.

Lin Guodong frowned and said impatiently: "That was because you didn't get into high school, and you didn't find a job in the city, so you went to the countryside. At that time, I got into the machinery factory through interviews on my own, so I didn't need to go to the countryside."

Xiaoyu is still in school, and she is the only one in the family who meets the requirements to go to the countryside.

Moreover, I had only been in the countryside for a few years when the policy of allowing educated youth to return to the city was announced.

Compared with the hardships endured by the educated youth who had stayed in the countryside for more than ten years, it was far worse.

"Besides, during the years when you went to the countryside, mom would send you money and things every few months. The money and things mom sent you were enough for you to eat and drink even if you paid for it. Don't even mention how much hardship you suffered in the countryside." Lin Guodong sneered.

Lin Jianshe: “…”

My family sent me money and things, but I didn't do much work in the countryside. I didn't have to work hard in the fields every day to earn enough to eat, just like other educated youth.

Lin Yongnian's head hurt from listening to the quarrels, and his brows knitted into a "川" shape. "Okay, stop talking."

Lin Guodong shut his mouth.

Lin Yongnian looked at Zhang Jiao earnestly and said, "Although the betrothal gift given to you is less than that given to my second son's wife, in your mother's and my heart, you and Liu Qin are the same. We did give less back then, but your family asked for so much, and this number was considered high back then."

(Mrs. Li: Don’t take me with you, thank you.)

"Since you brought this up, I will definitely make it up to you."

The money will be used to make up for it, but I also need to explain this principle clearly to my eldest son’s wife.

Hearing this, Zhang Jiao's expression eased a little.

"But as the eldest sister-in-law and the eldest daughter-in-law of our Lin family, you must take the lead, be friendly to your brothers and sisters, and be more lenient to your younger brothers and sisters." Lin Yongnian hopes that this eldest sister-in-law can shoulder her responsibilities as the eldest sister-in-law and the eldest daughter-in-law of the Lin family.

Zhang Jiao would still listen to her father-in-law because his salary was high, higher than hers and Lam Kwok Tung combined.

"Don't worry, Dad. I will." As long as her younger brothers and sisters respect her as the eldest sister-in-law enough, she will be friendly and lenient to them.

Lin Yongnian nodded with satisfaction. "I don't have that much money right now. When I give your mother the 100 yuan that my second son gave me, I will give you 50 yuan a month, until you are fully reimbursed."

The old man doesn't have it, and Zhang Jiao can't force it. It's fine as long as the money is given.

“Gu——”

Lin Yongnian's stomach growled loudly; he was really hungry.

"Eldest daughter-in-law, the second daughter-in-law cooked last night, so you cook tonight. Just make some noodles for a simple meal."

"From now on, the money for buying vegetables should be shared equally by the eldest and the second oldest. If you can do this for just this month, I will pay for the vegetables in the future."

After this was said, Liu Qin didn't say anything about fairness anymore. After all, they were only paying for the food this month. If you still care about making your father-in-law unhappy and have to pay for the food in the future, it will be more harm than good.

One month's food expenses are a drop in the bucket compared to the food expenses of countless months to come.

After washing the dishes, Li Shuping saw the soy sauce bottle on the counter. She picked it up and was about to put it in the cupboard, but found that the weight was not right.

When she took a look under the light, she saw that only half of her bottle of soy sauce was left.

"Hey, this Aunt Yuan looks quite kind, an old lady, but she is so ruthless."

When the lady borrowed soy sauce, she thought that the other party wanted to take advantage of her, but because she was the first person in the courtyard to show kindness to her, she still lent it.

I didn't expect her to be so shameless. People say she is becoming more and more shameless, but I didn't expect it to be true.

"Hmph, I'll find her tomorrow."

Now she will suffer in vain.

It was late at night and Zhang Jiao was still awake. She lay on the bed and complained to Lin Guodong about Liu Qin.

"If anyone wants her to buy groceries, there is a supply and marketing cooperative in our alley, and it is very convenient to buy groceries there. If we ask her to buy groceries, it will definitely cost us a lot of money."

"Yeah." Lin Guodong responded with his eyes closed, feeling tired and wanting to sleep.

"I want to send Junjun to the nursery tomorrow."

Lin Guodong: “…”

Zhang Jiao pinched him without getting a response, "Don't go to sleep yet, how about sending Junjun to mom tomorrow?"

"Well, go ahead and send her off. She has nothing to do anyway." Lin Guodong turned over.

Zhang Jiao pinched Lam Kwok Tung again, and finally the child fell asleep first. He also knew how to seize the opportunity and just went to sleep. We all don't have that anymore, it's really useless.
