Chapter 335 You Must Have Private Money

"Hey, hurry up and eat." Lin Xiangnan picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and put it in the younger brother's bowl, winking and warning: "Don't talk nonsense."

In the sympathetic eyes of his brothers and sisters, Lin Xiangxi immediately threw a tantrum, "Okay, okay, I led mom astray! I'm the worst villain in the family!"

"You can't say that. It's also my fault that I was busy making money and had no time to teach you." Hu Meili reluctantly looked for the reason in herself.

Back then, life was a problem, so how could we talk about education? It was good enough if the family could fill their stomachs.

While chewing the bones, Dabao and Xiaobao praised Lin Xiangxi affectionately: "My little uncle is not bad. He is very good. He is the best little uncle in the world."

That's not a bad thing. Whatever they want to eat, as long as they tell him the name of the dish, Lin Xiangxi will immediately arrange it for them without worrying about the trouble.

Hu Meili wanted to take this opportunity to teach her children a lesson, but after being interrupted by the two children, her expression immediately became kind, "Good boy, eat more vegetables~"

But when she looked up at Lin Xiangnan and the others, Hu Meili's expression became melancholy again.

There is not a single good person in the family. No one is a gentleman. How can we teach our children like this?

"You two should pay more attention to your children in the future." Hu Meili reminded Lin Xiangnan: "Education issues must be addressed from the very beginning."

"Of course I care." Lin Xiangnan said with a smile: "Gu Zhenhua and I do our best to educate our children. With us as role models, the two children will not be too bad. "

Hearing this, Hu Meili smiled speechlessly.

Judging from the tempers of Lin Xiangnan and his wife, they would definitely become two annoying little bastards in a dozen years. Their abilities would definitely be good, but their tempers would definitely be bad.

Hu Meili originally wanted to say a few more words, but seeing Lin Xiangnan's proud and complacent expression, she could no longer persuade him.

When Lin Xiangnan reaches her age, it will be good to be a little bit childish, which can keep her energetic. She hasn't worked for the past two years, and she hasn't beaten her children much, so she is not as flexible as before.

Thinking of that scene, Hu Meili's mouth corners began to rise unconsciously, and then she advised the two babies to eat meat, "Eat more, so that you can grow stronger and run faster in the future..."

"Grandma eats too."

"Hey~ Grandma eats too, our child is so well-behaved." Hu Meili said with a bright smile: "Only my child is so cute."

Hu Meili was coaxed by the child, and Lin Xiangnan didn't dare to stroke the tiger's whiskers anymore, and just ate his meal obediently.

Because Hu Meili wanted to sell goods after get off work, the family's dinner time was later than usual. Before they finished their meal, they heard crying in the yard.

Grandma Hu was warming herself by the fire at this time, and an older sister hugged her and cried.

"Who is this? He looks familiar." Lin Xiangnan asked curiously.

"This is the younger sister of your second uncle's eldest daughter-in-law. You should call her Aunt Nine." Hu Meili said as she put some food into her bowl. She only picked up vegetarian dishes and did not dare to pick up any meat.

"Why is she called Aunt Jiu? I remember that my cousin's wife's family didn't have that many brothers and sisters." Lin Xiangnan continued to ask.

"Oh, what a bad memory you have. Her name is Song Chujiu, so of course she's Aunt Jiu. You've seen her when you were a kid..."

Before she could finish her words, Hu Meili had already run away with the bowl in her hand, running to Grandma Hu and joining in the fun from a close distance.

As soon as she left, Lin Xiangnan and the others inexplicably sped up their eating pace.

When Gu Zhenjun saw this, he said consciously: "I'll wash the dishes. You guys go join in the fun."

At this moment, there were already quite a few people standing around Grandma Hu, including her aunt, cousins, and a few familiar neighbors.

Everyone was trying to comfort Song Chujiu who was crying sadly.

Hu Meili had finished the rice in her bowl and was holding the empty bowl in her hand without moving.

"What's going on? What's happening? Mom, tell me quickly." Lin Xiangnan pulled Hu Meili to inquire about military intelligence.

"A few months ago, your ninth aunt's husband died of illness. After that, the children didn't like her anymore and didn't even give her a full meal. After all, she had taken care of the children for so many years, but now she is a bunch of ruthless people..."

"Then why did she come to cry to grandma?" Lin Xiangnan continued to ask.

"This match was made by your grandma. And she is related to our family, so of course she will come to your grandma if she has any problems."

In the past, when Lin Xiangnan was young, Hu Meili was embarrassed to tell her about all the bloody love and hate stories. But now that Lin Xiangnan is married and has children, Hu Meili naturally has no scruples.

"When your aunt was young, she was tricked into getting pregnant before she got married. Her family disagreed with the marriage because of the gift money, so she had to secretly abort the child. As a result, her body was damaged and she couldn't get pregnant again. This matter is not a secret among them, and your aunt can't find a suitable partner."

Lin Xiangnan secretly opened his mouth wide. No wonder the conservative older generation could give birth to 1.4 billion Chinese people. Looking at it this way, they are not very conservative.

"It's already like this, and my grandma is still helping with matchmaking?"

"It's just a matter of getting what you need. The man Song Chujiu married is a logistics worker at the hospital. He knows your grandfather. There is no one to take care of the four boys in the family, so he wants to find someone like Song Chujiu who can take care of the children but can't have children. If he has another child, the family can't afford it."

This requirement is not only difficult to find in the city, but also in the countryside. If both sides are suitable, then they can be matched as a couple.

Grandpa Hu had a good vision. When Aunt Jiu's husband was alive, she had him protecting her, so she didn't suffer much. She was just not allowed to have much contact with her parents' family so that she wouldn't have to subsidize them. In terms of food and clothing, she didn't suffer any detriment.

As a result, as soon as the man died, the stepson began to take charge of the family, and Song Chujiu couldn't even have a full meal.

"Before my husband died, he left me 70 yuan in private money. But when my eldest son started dating someone and discussing marriage, I gave him the money. I thought we were a family, but who would have thought he would treat me like this..." Aunt Jiu cried heartbreakingly as she talked about her sad moments.

The soft-hearted people among the onlookers also started crying.

Even Dabao and Xiaobao, seeing the other child's expression, frowned and looked like they were about to cry.

Hu Meili looked around with a serious expression. Seeing that Gu Zhenhua was far away, she whispered to Lin Xiangnan, "Don't learn from your aunt Jiu. Women must have some private money. No matter how good Gu Zhenhua is to you and how filial your children are, you must keep some private money as a backup."

In Lin Xiangnan's surprised eyes, Hu Meili said proudly: "That's what your grandma taught me. If your aunt had half the wisdom I have, she wouldn't be crying like this now."
