Everyone at the dinner table was silent, and no one dared to speak at this moment.
Yuan Qin pulled Jiang Wu's arm expressionlessly, hoping that her man could protect her, but she got a cold look in return.
"Dad, Yuan Qin's words don't count," Jiang Wu said in a deep voice, "Our family will not reduce a penny of the household expenses for you and mom. In addition, I will give you an extra ten yuan every month to raise Xiaobao."
Just now when they were outside, Grandma Jiang had told Jiang Wu about Wang Xiaobao's life experience. He had met Old Wang before and had been instructed by him, so he was not surprised at all to hear that his father wanted to keep Wang Xiaobao.
"What?" Yuan Qin couldn't believe her ears and pointed at Wang Xiaobao and cursed, "You actually want to use our family's money to support him?"
"Yes!" Jiang Wu replied bluntly, "Whether you like it or not, I have made up my mind."
Yuan Qin was furious, but there was nothing she could do because her husband was the head of the group and earned about 100 yuan a month.
Giving his parents twenty-five yuan every month is already enough, and now he has to give Wang Xiaobao ten more yuan. Yuan Qin was so angry that she wanted to explode on the spot.
Ye Xuanhan watched the fire from the other side, frowning.
...
...
If Jiang Wu and Yuan Qin continue to quarrel, I'm afraid they won't be able to enjoy the meal.
She observed Grandma Jiang's expression, which was a little sad. It seemed that she was looking forward to today's meal.
After all, Jiang Wu stays in the army all year round and has little free time. He never goes home. Jiang Yue comes often, but it can never be considered a family reunion.
We finally got together today, but something terrible happened.
"Dad, you don't have to pay for Xiaobao's living expenses," Ye Hanhan said. "Jiang Wang and I don't have many places to spend money, so we can afford Xiaobao's living expenses."
If I could go to Professor Zhang's house and take back Old Wang's things, raising not only one baby, but even ten wouldn't be a problem.
Ye Xuanhan had a backup copy of the note in her hand, which she had copied word for word.
Grandma Jiang’s two little goldfish and gold bracelets alone were enough for Wang Xiaobao to eat for a year.
Even if he doesn't have these things, he can use the money in Ye Hanhan's space for emergencies.
Jiang Yue tugged at the corner of her man Zhao Yongli's clothes, then leaned close to his ear and said a few words.
Then Zhao Yongli said: "Jiang Yue and I will also take out ten yuan every month as Xiaobao's living expenses."
Then Jiang Yue looked at Jiang Wu and said indifferently, "Brother, don't get involved. We still have two children to raise at home. If you take out all the money, how can your sister-in-law buy a new dress for Jiang Mei?"
Jiang Yue didn't really want to target Jiang Mei. Although she was not close to her niece, she wouldn't say anything bad about her.
But Yuan Qin’s words made Jiang Yue a little angry, and she impulsively took her anger out on Jiang Mei.
Speaking of skirts, everyone's eyes fell on Jiang Mei's white floral long skirt. It was exquisitely made and had neat seams, and it didn't look like a cheap item.
According to current prices, Ye Han guessed that the skirt was worth about ten yuan.
When Jiang Mei heard that the fire was on her, she angrily dropped her chopsticks and started crying. Yuan Qin hurried to comfort her and didn't bother to refute Jiang Yue.
Jiang Wu moved his lips and wanted to say something, but Grandpa Jiang glared at him instead, and in the end he said nothing.
Ye Yanhan quickly tried to smooth things over, "Grandpa, what about the third thing? What is it?"
Grandpa Jiang said that he would announce three things today. Everyone knew the first two, but Ye Hanhan couldn’t guess the third one.
Hearing Ye Xuanhan's voice, Grandpa Jiang's expression improved a little. "The third thing is related to all of us present here. I won't tell you about it for now. I'll tell you after dinner."
Although Yuan Qin was comforting Jiang Mei, she did not miss what Grandpa Jiang said. When she heard that it was related to everyone, she began to think about what it was.
"Dad, what's going on? Why are you still keeping it a secret?" Jiang Yue asked curiously.
Although Grandpa Jiang was a little angry about the unpleasant incident that just happened, he suppressed his temper when he thought about what would happen next.
"You'll know after you finish eating," Grandpa Jiang said, "This is a table full of delicious food, but your mother made it herself. Eat it all, don't waste it."
After Grandpa Jiang spoke, everyone started to eat.
Yuan Qin and Jiang Mei were both upset and refused to pick up chopsticks to eat. They sat there with empty stomachs for more than half an hour.
After dinner, Grandpa Jiang said to Grandma Jiang, "Old lady, go to the house and get the things out."
Grandma Jiang sighed, slowly stood up, and then went into the inner room.
Everyone looked at each other, not understanding what the old man was trying to do.
Grandpa Jiang said: "I haven't done anything great in my life. When I was young, I made some money with my wife, and later I donated most of it, so I don't have much left."
"Dad..." Jiang Yue interrupted Grandpa Jiang, "Why are you saying that? It makes me uncomfortable just listening to it."
"You have to listen to me even if it hurts," Grandpa Jiang frowned and continued, "I don't have much money left now, only 200,000 yuan, so, while we are all together today, let's divide the money clearly, so that your mother and I don't have to worry about it when we are old."
Ye Hanhan was a little surprised to hear that Grandpa Jiang still had 200,000 yuan.
You have to know that in that era the domestic economy was not very developed and a person could only save a few hundred yuan a year.
Grandpa Jiang actually had a deposit of 200,000 yuan, which is equivalent to 20 million yuan in later generations. It is no exaggeration to say that it is a huge sum of money.
When Yuan Qin saw that the old man wanted to share the money, her eyes lit up instantly.
"Dad, I don't agree," Jiang Yue burst into tears, "Why share the money? You and mom are still young. Even if you share it, we don't want it."
"Sister-in-law, I don't agree with what you said," Yuan Qin objected, "My parents want to divide the money early because they don't want to worry about this in the future. Do you want to wait until they are lying on the bed and can't move before arguing about this?"
What Yuan Qin said was so harsh that Ye Xuanhan could hardly suppress his anger.
Jiang Wang on the side looked at Yuan Qin coldly, feeling depressed.
Jiang Yue said angrily: "Bah, you are the one lying there unable to move, my parents are fine."
Everyone thought that the angriest person should be Grandpa Jiang. After all, anyone would feel uncomfortable if someone told him that he would be unable to move in the future.
But Grandpa Jiang just sighed and said, "She's right. That's why I thought about dividing the money."
Yuan Qin raised her chin, as if she was happy that she had won the game.
No one looked at her, and no one even bothered to pay attention to her.
Soon, Grandma Jiang came out with a cloth bag in her hand.
Only Yuan Qin stared at the cloth bag, while the others looked at Grandpa Jiang with some concern.
