"It's not just one or two days, it needs long-term care." Zhao Lei raised his voice, "My uncle and his family have no objection, but what do the neighbors think?"
"Will they say that Zhao Tiezhu is still a city dweller who has pensions but is taking advantage of his elder brother who doesn't have any pensions?"
"Do you think that they are pointing at my dad's nose and talking about him so rudely, which makes you happy?"
"My father is a strong-willed man. How could he not care about his reputation?" Zhao Lei asked repeatedly.
Zhang Cuiying was dumbfounded. Just when she heard that all these needed money, she subconsciously said a few words of reluctance. Who could have thought that the third brother would have so many words to fight back, which stunned her.
"I, I didn't, I didn't." Zhang Cuiying didn't dare to admit it, otherwise if Zhao Tiezhu heard it, she would be in trouble.
Zhao Tiezhu was just about to go into the house to put his things down when he heard the mother and son arguing in the yard. At first he was wondering what they were arguing about, but when he pricked up his ears he saw it was about this.
At first he also thought that giving money was too much. As an elder, isn't it normal to ask the younger generation to do some housework?
But then I thought again, if I don't pay my nephews and nieces to work, will they come whenever I ask them to? That's absolutely impossible.
Moreover, he cannot make too many demands, otherwise after a long time, no one will pay attention to him. It is better to pay them and let them do the work.
This way, no matter how much work my nephews have to do, they won’t feel embarrassed and will just do what they are supposed to do.
As for the villagers, he really didn't expect it. After all, he had been here for a few months and got along well with everyone. He chatted with them, played chess, occasionally went fishing together, went to the mountains and so on. It was really a good life.
At first they were also curious as to why Zhang Cuiying didn't come back with him. But when they heard that she stayed in the city to take care of her son, they stopped nagging him and he didn't think too much about it.
Now after listening to Zhao Lei's words, Zhao Tiezhu remembered that when the old people in the village got together, they would discuss the shortcomings of each family, saying which daughter-in-law was not good to her parents-in-law, which evil mother-in-law was not good to her daughter-in-law, and some were partial and so on.
If he doesn't give money and lets his nephews do the work, does his eldest brother and sister-in-law have any objections?
Even if they have no objection, and the nephew has no objection, will the niece-in-law have no objection? They will not complain about it outside. You can imagine what people will say about him. In short, his reputation in the village will become very bad.
It should be very difficult for him to integrate into the village. He is already so old and should know more about human relationships. However, such an old man is not as good as Zhao Lei.
No, at least she is better than Zhang Cuiying. This girl only cares about money. Especially when Zhao Lei has already explained so much, she is still making all kinds of excuses, saying that just giving a little bit of money will be enough, and there is no need to give money.
What does this prove? It proves that in Zhang Cuiying's heart, Zhao Tiezhu's face is not important at all, and money is the most important thing.
Zhao Tiezhu went straight in, "It was the third brother who proposed it, and I agree with it."
"I give you five dollars a month, and you don't do any work for me."
"Then why can't I pay them to do the work for me? At least I pay them and they won't nag." Yes, didn't Zhang Cuiying take the money? She kept nagging, which made people feel annoyed.
