Chapter 165 Are you still leaving?

Gu Zhenhua thought Lin Xiangnan would definitely have a way, so he didn't care much. After all, that was Lin Xiangnan's mother, and as a son-in-law, he should be honest.

The 20-day home visit leave will take two or three days of travel, and the rest of the time will be spent visiting relatives and friends, so time actually passes very quickly.

When it was time to leave, Lin Xiangnan began to ask Hu Meili, "Mom, will you go with me?"

"When did I say that?" Hu Meili glared at her and said unhappily, "Why are you asking me at this time? Take your own child with you."

"I carry it with me every day." Lin Xiangnan said with a smile, "It's just that Xiaobao and the others like you even more."

Even in his previous life, Lin Xiangnan had never thought that he would raise a child himself.

The huge amount of property she inherited was not just for show. When she lived alone, she had to hire a housekeeper. If she had children, it would be even easier.

Thinking of Hu Meili's temper, Lin Xiangnan said generously, "Mom, come with me and I'll give you more money, okay? I'll double your pension money."

The appearance of this nouveau riche made Hu Meili's mouth twitch.

"Where did you learn this? You are such a jerk." Hu Meili said honestly, "It's not about the money. As an elder, it's your duty to lend a hand when young people are too busy at work. If you give too much money, people will gossip about you."

The key point is that Hu Meili has more than one child, Lin Xiangnan.

Lin Xiangnan is rich and generous, but the other two children are not. The two brothers Lin Xiangdong only give her ten yuan every month.

Lin Xiangnan gave too much, and the other two couldn't keep up.

With three children in the family, it is impossible to be even on small details, but on big issues, Hu Meili still tries to strike a balance.

She didn't expect to get more money from Lin Xiangnan, she just hoped that Lin Xiangnan would give in, admit his mistakes, and be more restrained in spending money.

"Okay. Then I won't charge you any more. What do you have to do to make me come with you?" Lin Xiangnan brought out his own children. "You brought up Dabao and Xiaobao. Are you willing to let them go?"

"You're still asking me? Why did I go home? Don't you have any idea?" Hu Meili got angry when she talked about this. "You obviously know the answer, but you still wrote to me to make me angry. You are such a heartless thing. Who am I advising you to save money for?"

Upon hearing this reason, Lin Xiangnan immediately promised, "Isn't it just to spend less money? I'll listen to you."

"Hmph, you can't trust your mouth at all." Hu Meili continued to make fun of Qiao.

But Lin Xiangnan was not a person with a good temper. After begging for a few words, seeing that Hu Meili was still so stubborn, she didn't want to do it anymore.

"Mom, if you don't want to go, forget it. Please ask for help if there is anyone in my hometown who is willing to go to the family compound to help take care of my child. I will ask someone else to help take care of the child for me."

"What do you mean?" Hu Meili asked, "You want to pay someone to take care of the child? Then what are you doing?"

Lin Xiangnan said confidently, "I'm watching from the side."

"Just watch?" Hu Meili was so angry that she laughed. She gritted her teeth and asked, "Are you comfortable asking someone else to take care of the child?"

"I've already told you, I'll be watching from the side. If there's anything inappropriate, I'll just ask her to change it." Lin Xiangnan looked indifferent.

Living habits do need to be adjusted. But rather than suffer, Lin Xiangnan would rather spend time to adjust. Besides, Gu Zhenjun is at home most of the time, and he has his own people watching him, so he is not afraid of people messing around.

When she said this, Hu Meili was in a dilemma.

"You are such a heartless thing. When I knew you had a baby, I rushed to the family compound to take care of you. Now that the baby has grown up and you have become independent, you want to kick me away, right?"

Hu Meili is not a reasonable person. When the result was not to her liking, she immediately turned the tables and started to throw a tantrum at Lin Xiangnan.

"Mom, are you kidding? You were the one who didn't leave with me, and you're the one making a fuss now."

Seeing Hu Meili making a fuss, Lin Xiangnan suddenly realized that she wanted to go back to her family compound with her, but wanted to negotiate conditions.

Feeling that the initiative was back in his hands, Lin Xiangnan calmly sat down on the chair and slowly poured himself a glass of water. "Mom, what do you want? Just tell me. Don't play tricks on me."

Hu Meili was also afraid that Lin Xiangnan would not give her a way out, so she did not dare to continue laying the groundwork and immediately expressed her thoughts.

"Go get a passbook, write your own name on it, and deposit twenty dollars into it every month. I'll keep the passbook for you."

"Ahem~" Lin Xiangnan, who was drinking water, almost choked. He asked with a smile, "You made such a fuss just for this?"

"Why not for this?"

Hu Meili said in a firm tone: "I know you love to eat and play. But you must save at least 20 yuan a month, no less. If you feel that the money is not enough, you can work more and earn more money."

The two brothers Lin Xiangdong earn more than 20 yuan a month, and they can save half of it. Lin Xiangnan and his wife earn more than 100 yuan a month, but Hu Meili only asks Lin Xiangnan to save 20 yuan, which is already a very low lower limit.

Lin Xiangnan spent money lavishly, and Gu Zhenhua didn't care. As an elder, she could only force Lin Xiangnan to save money.

"You are a person who always makes promises, but when it comes to spending money, you don't remember those words at all. This is all I can do." Hu Meili assured: "Don't worry, I will hold the passbook for you. I won't spend your money. You can look at it anytime you want."

Lin Xiangnan was somewhat touched, but also somewhat helpless. "Okay, okay, I promise you. As soon as Gu Zhenhua's salary is received, I will go to the bank with you to deposit the money, okay? It's just twenty yuan, not a big deal."

She agreed too readily.

Hu Meili felt uncomfortable when she saw it. Her bid was still too low.

After all, it was her own child, so Hu Meili didn't care about the spirit of the contract at all and raised the price on the spot.

"Actually, I don't think twenty yuan is too much. How about forty? Gu Zhenhua makes more than a hundred yuan a month, and if you work, you can also make twenty or thirty yuan."

"?" Lin Xiangnan looked at Hu Meili in shock, "Mom, you are asking for a higher price."

Hu Meili urged arrogantly, "Just tell me whether you agree or not. If you don't agree, I won't go back to the family compound with you."

"disagree."

Not to mention those worth twenty or thirty, when Lin Xiangnan spends one or two hundred to buy antiques, he doesn't feel bad at all.

But she couldn't just do what Hu Meili wanted so easily, otherwise Hu Meili would go even further.

"Mom, since you are not sincere, I will go find grandma and ask her to help me find a suitable person to take care of the child." Lin Xiangnan stood up and left.

"Stop right there. You can't go."

"The talks have all collapsed, what else is there to say?"

Hu Meili took the initiative to lower the price, "Forty is not okay, then thirty is fine. It can't be lower... Twenty, twenty is fine... What do you mean, I said twenty, and you're still leaving?"
