An Ze shouted in a deep voice: "My parents can give their things to whoever they want, it's not your turn to comment. Also, I can't just go into my dad's study, when have you ever been in there? How do you know what boxes are there!"

Wu Xiaolin felt guilty, "Anyway, your parents are partial to your sister. I am not fussing about this for myself, but for you! Your sister is married, and giving things to her is equivalent to giving them to someone else's family. Do you know how to calculate this?"

As he spoke, he became more confident.

She is not doing this for herself, but for her and An Ze's small family!

But Anze really doesn't bother to settle this account.

Dad told him that there were a few things left at home, all of which were women's dowries - grandma's dowry, mom's dowry, and they would be left to her younger sister as a dowry in the future.

"As a brother, how can I be calculating about my sister's things? Besides, my salary is enough to ensure that you and Tiantian have no worries about food and clothing. Those material possessions are really dispensable."

Wu Xiaolin was so angry that he laughed. "You are so noble. You are so generous to your sister. Why don't you be more generous to your wife and children? Do you know how shabby I am in front of other family members in my institute? They drink coffee and watch plays, and they don't even blink an eye when they buy clothes. I have to wear a woolen coat for the whole winter and I have to wear it again next year! Have you ever cared about my face?"

An Ze frowned and looked at Wu Xiaolin, "When did you become so vain?"

Wu Xiaolin: “…”

An Ze: "In short, I will do my best to provide you with a good life, but I still have to emphasize that my parents' money and things do not belong to me naturally. They have the right to distribute their own property. And the things they gave my sister were the dowry brought in by grandma and mom. Our family tradition is to leave the dowry to girls. Don't keep staring at it, and don't mention it in front of the two elders."

Wu Xiaolin felt unfair, "Why? Your family has nothing left, and you want to give all the dowry to your daughter?"

An Ze: "Did you take the wrong medicine yesterday? Why do you seem like a different person?"

Wu Xiaolin felt chest tightness and was silent for a long while before he said, "Okay, let's not talk about your sister's dowry. What about the money? Dad has such a high income, why doesn't he give us some subsidies? Did he give it all to his daughter? You lived in your sister's house for four years before, and you were just eating your parents, right?"

"I've said before, my parents' money is theirs to use. It has nothing to do with me, their son!" An Ze tried to open the door irritably, wanting to go out, but was stopped by Wu Xiaolin.

"Wait a minute, I haven't finished talking yet. You have to talk to your father when you come back this time. Tell him that your monthly salary is not enough and ask him to help you out."

An Ze couldn't believe it. "I'm 30 years old, and you want me to ask my parents for money? Also, my monthly salary of 106 yuan is not enough for you, how come it's not enough?"

Wu Xiaolin turned his eyes away guiltily, but soon he became righteous again.

"You are so stupid! If you didn't want it, I would give it all to your sister, and your sister used it all to support the Xiao family! Xiao Zheng said that he is a deputy division commander, and his salary is not low, but he comes from the countryside! There are a lot of poor relatives in the countryside waiting for him to help them out. I heard that he generously supports his comrades-in-arms, and no amount of money is enough for him to squander!"

An Ze waved Wu Xiaolin's hand away and walked out without saying a word.

He felt tired and felt that no matter what he said, he couldn't communicate with Wu Xiaolin.

Wu Xiaolin was not like this before.

The Wu family had been prominent for generations, but they fell into decline during the time of Wu Xiaolin's grandfather. Wu's father was a middle school teacher and had to take medicine all year round due to poor health, so the family had always lived in poverty. When Wu Xiaolin was a child, he followed his mother to wash clothes for others to earn money.

Wu Xiaolin failed to get into university because of the heavy family burden and too little time for study.

After failing the college entrance exam, Wu Xiaolin entered the university's printing factory as a female worker. In her spare time, she would attend classes as an auditor. That's how An Ze got to know Wu Xiaolin. She said she had a dream of becoming a translator, and even if she didn't get into university, she would still learn the language by herself.

An Ze was attracted by Wu Xiaolin, who was tenacious, strong and never lost his ambition even when he was frustrated.

After getting married, Wu Xiaolin followed An Ze to Hai City. She stopped studying, and her dream of becoming a translator was gradually thrown into the corner. She spent her days revolving around her family, comparing food, clothing, husbands and children with other housewives.

An Ze spent most of his time on work, and psychologically felt guilty about his family, so he was unwilling to think deeply about how different Wu Xiaolin was before and after marriage.

Then he suddenly realized that Wu Xiaolin not only had no ideals, but his heart and eyes were filled with money.

He gave all his monthly salary to Wu Xiaolin. With a family of three, how could it not be enough?
