Feng Xiaojing looked at her strangely.
Feng Mian clapped his hands and said, "I just said it casually, don't let her know, or she will go and make trouble with her uncle again."
"I won't say anything nonsense, but this problem still needs to be solved. Mianmian, I don't have any idea now, what do you think we should do?"
"It is your responsibility to provide for her in her old age. No one can escape this. But twenty dollars is too much. It's too cruel."
"It's quite a lot. I signed it for the sake of studying. If she wants to sue me with that, will the court let me pay?"
Fengmian felt that this kind of agreement was definitely invalid. Regarding family conflicts, the relevant departments were always trying to smooth things over first. So it was highly likely that the court would mediate and let them resolve the issue through negotiation.
After all, they are mother and daughter, so it's best not to resort to litigation unless it's absolutely necessary.
"If you really want to pay her off, that's fine, but you can't let her get her way just by making a fuss. If she doesn't get what she wants, she'll keep doing it. What will you do if she makes a fuss just when she wants you to compromise?"
Feng Xiaojing frowned and nodded, "Mianmian, what do you think?"
"Your agreement is that she will support you through secondary school, and you will pay her twenty dollars a month after you start working, right?"
"Yes, but once she makes a scene, it won't count."
"If it doesn't count, then don't give her a penny. If you want the agreement to continue, ask her to give you money for your studies. You can ask her for living expenses and tuition. If she really gives you the money as agreed, you can give it to her after you graduate and get a job."
"She's such a stingy person, it's hard to believe she can give it to you."
"She won't give it to you, and you won't give it to her either. Anyway, she was the first to regret it."
Feng Xiaojing thought for a moment and said, "The school doesn't charge me tuition."
She was admitted with excellent grades and also applied for a subsidy for poor students, which actually didn't cost any money.
Feng Mian rolled his eyes at her and said, "According to the standard of ordinary students, let her pay as much as she deserves."
Feng Mian helped her calculate the bill and made a list of expenses.
Tuition, miscellaneous fees, materials fees, living expenses, daily necessities, etc., all together amount to twenty dollars per month.
"Twenty, is that too much?"
"Not much, that's good. Let that stingy woman vomit for a few years first. Don't feel any psychological burden. She raised you when you were little, so you can take care of her when she's old. This is what she should do. If you think it was harder for her to give birth to you than to your brothers and sisters, then at most you can pay more for her funeral and burn more paper for her when she dies in the future."
Feng Xiaojing chuckled when she heard her say that, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
The sisters-in-law came to help first. It still takes some time to prepare meals for the whole family.
They had been away for a year, and even though Feng Mian came back often, she seldom talked to her two cousins-in-law. Now that they were cooking together, they could chat together.
They talked about the people in the village, while Feng Mian and Feng Xiaojing talked about the people in school.
They had already discussed the business matters and never mentioned them.
It's not that Feng Mian is cruel and won't introduce his relatives even if there is a job. It's mainly because he was scared by Zhao Hui and doesn't dare to take the risk without knowing the situation.
What if it’s another bad relative?
After chatting with them, I found that both sisters-in-law were very nice, with normal thinking, and were typical honest country girls.
In the evening, uncle Feng Xinliang came, holding his little granddaughter Feng Chan in his arms.
Zhang asked when she saw this: "Why did you bring Chan'er here? Be careful that Zhao Hui will come and make trouble again."
Feng Xinliang said: "It was Zhao Hui who brought Chan'er to me, stuffed her into my arms and left. What could I do?"
Zhang took the child and looked at the little face. She sighed, "What a sin! He is so thin. Didn't every household have a good harvest this year? How come he is still so thin?"
Feng Xinliang said, "Zhao Hui works in the fields, and Xiaomei is at home taking care of the children. Don't you know what Xiaomei is like? Zhao Hui has spoiled her. She can't do anything. It's lucky that she didn't starve Chan'er to death."
