He Yushen nodded understandingly, "Don't worry, I won't give it to you."
"I'm only giving you my money; no one else can have it."
Even if his parents came to ask for money, he wouldn't have any in his pocket.
Just then, the He family called.
I don't know who gave me the phone number, but they all called.
He Yushen picked up the phone in a loud voice, "Hello?"
The other party was startled, probably because they rarely use the phone and their reaction was slow.
"Sixth Brother? Is that you?"
He Yushen hummed in response, "Who are you?"
Old Man He was about to say a few words, but Old Woman He interrupted him.
"I'm your mother! You brat."
They ran away without a word back then, "and now they're not even coming back for the New Year?"
He Yushen pretended to be poor, "I also want to go back, but I don't have money for a train ticket. How about you send me some money?"
If he hadn't witnessed Sheng Yueqing's performance earlier, he might still be foolishly being tricked into saying the truth.
Now he knows how to pretend to be poor.
Grandma He didn't believe it. "I heard that you and your wife run a shop in Shanghai. How could you not have money?"
"Your family is so poor that we can't even afford to eat, and you don't even bring back a little bit."
"Your father and I are starving. Send us some money quickly."
He Yushen sighed, "If I had money, I would have sent it back long ago."
"I'm still running errands and moving goods for others."
"We still owe someone money from before, and we're still paying it off. Mom, could you lend me some?"
Old Mrs. He retorted angrily, "Nonsense, where would I get the money to lend you?"
"You little rascal, did you give all your money to your wife?"
She knew that He Yushen was good at making money and hardworking, so it was impossible for him to be poor.
He Yushen replied naturally, "Of course I'll give it to her. My wife still owes people several thousand yuan, so of course I have to make up for it."
We're planning to expand the store next year, which will cost several thousand.
Old Mrs. He was furious, "Couldn't you have sent some back? If you give it all to her, what will your father and I eat?"
He Yushen said earnestly, "Eat grain."
“The land at home is so big, and now that the land has been divided up, we don’t have to hand over grain anymore. There’s so much grain, enough for you to eat for a lifetime.”
Old Mrs. He choked on her words, unable to finish, "You."
"You unfilial son! I'm just asking you for some household expenses, and you keep making excuses like this? Don't you even recognize me as your mother anymore?"
He Yushen said, "I admit it, but you have plenty of food and drink, while I'm short of money. Why would I need to give you money? I don't even have any money myself."
Old Mrs. He didn't believe it.
“You’re strong, you can earn money by doing just a little work. Send me two hundred back every month from now on.”
"Consider it your retirement money for me and your dad."
He Yushen countered, "How much do my five older brothers give you each month?"
Old Mrs. He choked, remembering that they had agreed on a monthly salary of one yuan and fifty cents.
He Yushen left behind some money when he left.
But what can you do with that little bit of money?
Her eldest grandson still needs to attend a good school.
He Yu knew that she favored her eldest brother's family.
Especially the eldest brother's son, who was the apple of Old Mother He's eye.
Although the other brothers weren't as pampered as the eldest, their mother treated them well too.
He was the only one who treated him so casually, like he was someone they had picked up off the street.
"Anyway, I don't have any money. I'll still give you 1.5 yuan a month as usual, that's all."
“If you’re going to raise prices, all six of your sons should raise prices together. It’s impossible for just me to raise prices.”
"Also, if you try to cheat me, I won't give you a single penny!"
He's not the same carefree, easily fooled old Mrs. He he used to be.
If Old Mother He is biased towards him, it is only right that he gives her more.
But she didn't care about him or whether he lived or died.
Even the strongest man would feel disheartened. And with Sheng Yueqing as a comparison, he finally understood what truly meant to be good to him.
Of course, we can't rush to do it.
His wife had just gotten rid of the Sheng family, so he couldn't let her down.
"Anyway, I don't have any money. I'll borrow from you guys when I'm in trouble later."
Mother He...
She was so angry she almost slammed the phone down.
But the phone belonged to someone else, and when that person glared at her, she didn't dare to do it anymore.
All he could do was threaten, "He Yushen, if you don't give me the money, I'll come to Shanghai to find you."
He Yushen glanced at Sheng Yueqing, seeing that Sheng Yueqing had given him courage.
He finally spoke, "Then you can come. Help me with my luggage, and I'll go back with you."
"I'll come and stay with you guys then, since my little shabby house is too big for me."
"If we have children in the future, Mom, please raise us."
Mother He...
She never expected that her honest and simple son would be so difficult to deal with.
She would retort with ten sentences for every one she said.
She was so angry that her head ached.
"He Yushen, you..."
He Yushen didn't give her a chance to scold him, "Mom, when are you coming to see me? Bring me some food and money when you come."
"The prices here are so high. A bowl of noodles costs more than a dollar. I can't afford to eat anymore."
"Remember to bring some food when you come."
Grandma He was so angry that she slammed down the phone.
His chest heaved with anger.
The He family frowned deeply as they looked on. "How did Sixth Brother become like this?"
In the past, He Yushen would give them money as soon as they asked.
Why are you picking at it like this now?
And they even turned around and asked them for money?
Old Mrs. He was so angry that her hands trembled. "It must have been that vixen Sheng Yueqing who instigated him. In the past, the sixth son always listened to me the most."
I shouldn't have arranged this marriage for him in the first place.
If he had married someone easy to manipulate, all of Lao Liu's money would be hers now.
