"What? Third sister-in-law, you and Third Brother want to take Mother to City B?"
The Jiang An brothers were both shocked and looked at each other for a long time.
Although Lin Fangfang was surprised when she heard this, she still asked calmly:
"But, Third Brother's wife, you and Third Brother's studies are more important, how are you going to take care of Mom?"
"Sister-in-law, we've discussed it. We won't live on campus. We'll rent a house near the school. Then we'll go to school during the day and go home at night."
Su Miantang calmly explained her plan. Now that she had been admitted to university, the next step would definitely be to take her good sister with her.
City B is the capital. Whether in terms of food, accommodation, or future development, it is better than the current small mountain village.
Her good sister was a native of City B in her previous life. Going with them was like returning to her hometown.
There is no one there who knows them now, so they have to do something and cover their tracks well, so as not to be too convenient.
As for taking care of them, we can hire a nanny to do the laundry and cooking for their family during the day and go home at night. You can hire one by spending money.
In short, money makes the world go round!
However, City B is a big city after all!
The level of consumption there is far higher than most people can imagine.
At this moment, my third brother and his wife are still studying hard in school and have not yet entered society. They have no stable source of income at all.
If we take my mother over there to live with us, wouldn't that just add a heavy burden to them for no reason?
At this point, Jiang An's heart tightened, and he couldn't help but speak up again:
"Third sister-in-law, although we as children want to be filial, the reality is here.
You two are still students, and your living expenses are already quite high. Is it really okay to bring our mother along with you?"
When he said this, Jiang An's eyes revealed a barely perceptible worry and reluctance.
He knew very well that it was not easy for his mother to raise him and his brothers and sisters with great difficulty. Now he was unable to give his mother a better life, and he couldn't help feeling guilty.
Facing Jiang An's worries, Su Miantang smiled slightly and said comfortingly:
"Brother, don't worry! You don't have to worry too much about financial issues.
The newspaper I currently work for is quite large and also has an office in City B.
After we get through this, I can definitely continue to take on some writing assignments from there and earn royalties to support myself.”
Besides, she had made a small fortune selling wild boars before!
Together with the savings she and her husband have accumulated through hard work over the past six months, it is enough to cover daily expenses.
“Oh, by the way, I received two scholarships from county leaders a few days ago!
Although it may not be realistic to use this money to buy a house in City B, it will definitely be enough to ensure the basic living of the three of us.
What's more, once we arrive in City B and settle down, we will definitely find ways to find more ways to make money.
In short, please believe that we will be able to take good care of Mom and let her enjoy her old age."
"Stop interrogating the third brother's wife like she's a criminal!"
Song Yue couldn't stand her son and daughter-in-law questioning her best friend any more, and finally couldn't help but stand up and speak for her.
Song Yue looked at everyone present with a serious face, and then said slowly:
"After careful consideration, I have decided to move to City B with my third son and his wife.
After all, they are a young couple working hard out there on their own, and I can’t let them go.”
Song Yue's words were sincere and heartfelt, but when they fell into the ears of the two brothers Jiang An and Jiang Lai, and the two sisters-in-law Lin Fangfang and Qian Duoduo, they were interpreted with another meaning.
It turned out that the reason why the mother insisted on following the third brother's family to City B was actually because she was worried that if the third brother's wife got into college, she would see the colorful world outside, become more discerning, and look down on her own third brother.
That's why the old mother wanted to stay close to her child so that it would be easier to look after him.
Faced with such a situation, although Jiang An and others felt a little reluctant, they could not find a suitable excuse to refute it for a while.
After a moment's silence, Jiang An was the first to break the deadlock. He cleared his throat and said:
"Mom, since you have made up your mind to go with me, we as your children naturally cannot stop you, so we won't say anything more.
But please rest assured about one thing, the three of us are brothers from the same mother. Even if we separate, the brotherhood we share will never be severed.
I've already discussed this with Fangfang. Every three months, we'll give my third brother and his wife some living expenses. Although the amount isn't much, it's a small token of our appreciation and a small contribution."
When Jiang Lai heard this, he straightened his back immediately, looked at his mother with a firm gaze and said:
"Mom, you see, Duoduo and I have the same idea as big brother!
Let's work hard together to earn money and support my third brother and his wife's education. That's no problem!"
Lin Fangfang and Qian Duoduo on the side nodded hurriedly to show their agreement.
You know, the reason why they can make money from this small business now is all thanks to the help of the third brother in making connections!
However, in recent times, several competitors have suddenly appeared outside the factory, causing their originally good business to decline significantly.
But fortunately, my third brother and his wife are very capable!
One of them ranked first in the county's college entrance examination, and the other ranked third.
With this excellent performance, we managed to bring back those lost customers.
Lin Fangfang knew that she didn't have the ability to provide more substantial help to her third brother and his wife, but if everyone worked together to raise some money to support their studies, then there would definitely be no problem!
At this moment, Su Miantang wanted to open his mouth to refuse this kindness, but the words seemed to be stuck by something when they came to his lips. He was deeply moved by the kindness of his brothers and sisters-in-law.
At the same time, her arm was gently touched by her good sister next to her.
So, she changed her mind and said:
"Thank you, eldest brother, second brother, and eldest and second sisters-in-law. We will always remember your care and concern for us!"
She suddenly understood what her good sister meant. Refusing would only make the first and second wives feel bad and create a rift between them in the future.
Accept the kindness of the two wives, and wait until they both have the skills and ability, then help the first and second wives, and help each other and be close to each other.
It was also because she and Ayang helped the first and second wives set up stalls and do small business, and they wanted to repay the couple.
This is a matter of reciprocity. If one side only gives and the other side doesn't know how to be grateful and just keeps asking for more...
In this way, before Jiang Yang resigned and returned home, the family had already discussed his future path of study.
