If this were...

Wang Jinlan couldn't help but have other thoughts in her mind, so she quickly whispered to her man, and the two of them discussed it in a low voice.

"Mom." Wang Jinlan touched her mother's hand and said with her usual smile, "It's not easy for Yanmei to make money, so I'll give her two thousand yuan in alimony, but I have another request."

Wang Yanmei remained silent.

Chen Xiaoqing waved his hand, obviously letting Wang Jinlan make the decision.

Wang Jinlan looked at the silent man opposite her with sparkling eyes, "I know you have a big company in Kyoto. As long as you arrange for my son-in-law to work as the general manager, and arrange a job for my son after he graduates from college, we will agree to a monthly alimony of 2,000 yuan."

My son-in-law works as a delivery man in the county town. Even when his income is good, it's only around 6,000 to 7,000 yuan. If he becomes the general manager of a large company, he would probably make at least 100,000 yuan.

This is more cost-effective than asking Yanmei to pay 20,000 yuan a month.

Xu Qingzhi almost thought he had heard it wrong.

She followed her aunt Wang Jinlan's gaze and saw Huo Fengyan.

Just... don't be too outrageous! Her smiling tiger aunt not only wanted to suck her family's blood, but also didn't let go of people who had nothing to do with this matter. It was too whimsical.

Wang Yanmei couldn't hold back her temper this time, and slammed the table and said, "Wang Jinlan, Xiao Huo has nothing to do with this matter. You are just angry that I sued you for repayment and found a way to pay alimony. You and your family still want to continue to take money from me."

"Yanmei, what you said is not kind. Your father and I have raised you for so many years, what's wrong with asking for alimony..." Chen Xiaoqing hadn't finished his words.

Wang Yanmei interrupted sharply, "It's not too much to ask for alimony, but haven't I given you money every year before? Dad was sick and in the hospital, and you, as a mother, teamed up with my own sister to cheat money from me."

"When did I, as your mother, ever work with your sister to cheat you out of money?" Chen Xiaoqing's face turned pale and she retorted in a loud voice, as if she felt that the louder the voice, the more reasonable it was.

"Mom, I'm awake now!" Wang Yanmei howled in the same loud voice, and then her voice trembled with a bit of unbearable: "Just... stop treating me like a fool."

"I gave a lot, but when I really ran out of money, I couldn't do anything. Every time you called me, saying that Dad's health couldn't hold on, and it would be better if he died!"

"Which child can bear to hear such words? You just take advantage of my filial piety and cheat me out of money again and again."

"Also, you and dad acted very well. In front of Wang Jinlan, you acted like you were on my side. But in reality, this is what you said when you first found out that my sister cheated me out of money. You said that I was wronged, but then you excused my sister, saying that she was confused and my brother-in-law was not doing her job well. But we are a family after all, so let me let this matter go."

"You are so partial as parents! You are afraid that Wang Jinlan's family will spend a penny more, so you find ways to take my money. Last time Dad was hospitalized, our whole family rented a house near the hospital to take care of him. Do you still think I am not kind? Qingzhi bought Dad 60,000 yuan a stick of ginseng. You said nice things to Qingzhi, praising him for being filial and saying that the ginseng tastes good. Qingzhi said he would buy a few more sticks later. How come you don't feel sorry for Qingzhi at all? It's not easy for him to make money. That's 60,000 yuan a stick of ginseng!"

Wang Yanmei's emotions broke out and she cried as she spoke.

The middle-aged woman in her forties cried more sadly than a child whose ice cream fell on the roadside.

Xu Qingzhi felt very distressed. He stood up and handed over a piece of paper. He put his hands on his mother's shoulders and leaned his head slightly on her arm.

Xiao Qingzhi leaned lazily on her mother's arm, "Mom, watermelon is so delicious. I wish I could lean on you and eat watermelon like this for the rest of my life~"

Wang Yanmei usually scolded her daughter, saying that she was not polite at all. But that time, she was very kind and filial. She reached out and touched Xiao Qingzhi's head, "When you grow up, you will leave your mother."

"No, I want to be with my mother all my life." Xiao Qingzhi rubbed his head and looked at the big watermelon in his mother's arms with a firm gaze.

Like now.

She silently expressed with her actions: Mom, I am here, I will always be here.

After hearing this, Chen Xiaoqing suddenly fell silent.

After a long while, Wang Kaifu, who had been silent all this time, said slowly in his old voice: "Yanmei, we don't want this alimony anymore."

Wang Jinlan: “Dad!”

Wang Linlin: "Grandpa, what's wrong?"

"I have a pension, which is enough for your mother and I to live on." Wang Kaifu stood up slowly and looked across: "Yanmei, Dad has always known that he has treated you badly since you were a child."

Wang Yanmei looked over with tears in her eyes.

Wang Kaifu said softly, "Okay, kid, don't cry. You and Fuqiang are making money now, and Dad is very happy to see that your life is getting better and better."

Then, Wang Kaifu took out a small wallet from his pocket, which contained several red banknotes. He took them all out and placed them on the table and pushed them over: "Take them, and have a good meal with Fuqiang and Qingzhi tonight. Dad will treat you."

After Wang Kaifu finished doing all this, he just walked out.

Chen Xiaoqing chased after him without saying a word.

Wang Jinlan had not expected this and hurriedly chased after him: "Dad, why did you leave so suddenly!"

The fourth aunt and the fifth aunt also followed.

Wang Yanmei looked at the red banknotes in front of her, picked them up, and folded them in half again and again like her father taught her when she was a child, and then put them in her trouser pocket.

Xu Fuqiang looked at his wife worriedly.

Wang Yanmei wiped the tears from her face and returned to her heroic self: "Let's go, I'll go home and cook. The food outside is not as delicious as the food at home."
