Qiao Qiuniang's face stiffened. She raised her head and stared blankly at Qiao Qingnian. Her smile was timid and her voice was weak and lacked confidence.
“Dad, what are you saying? How can such a large sum of money not be considered money? I’ve never seen so much money in my life.”
The money was in Lewazi's hands, so the couple couldn't ask him for it.
Moreover, it was only after paying off their debts that the couple realized how much money Lewazi had actually earned.
Even if they knew, they couldn't bring themselves to say it!
This money was all earned by Lewazi. If Lewazi wants to spend money to help his friends, can they say he can't spend it?
Besides, Lewazi never skimped on their daily expenses. They ate and drank as usual, without missing a beat. Even if she didn't give them money, she didn't think it was a big deal.
In the past, I was always short of money. I felt uneasy and uncertain if I didn't have money in my hands.
Now that she knows Lewa is a capable person who can earn any kind of money, and that she won't miss out on this opportunity, she no longer feels uneasy.
It doesn't matter who holds the money; their family is living comfortably and doesn't lack money.
As long as we don't go back to those days of having no food or drink, and lacking clothing and food, that's fine.
She doesn't have many desires; as long as her family is healthy, warmly dressed, and well-fed, that's enough for her.
Moreover, ever since Lewazi started earning money for the family, their lives have become much more comfortable, and they even eat and drink better than those wealthy families.
Eating lavish meals every day and living in comfortable accommodations was far beyond her expectations.
This is a life she never dared to dream of before.
This is enough to show that Le Wazi is capable, and she is happy to let Le Wazi manage things.
Even when Lewazi went out this time, although he went out secretly behind their backs, he still brought back a lot of food for the family. Not only did he bring back all kinds of pork, mutton, chicken, duck and fish, but he also bought a whole new set of clothes for the family.
Even the clothes worn by her entire maternal family were not overlooked.
They were treated to the best food, drinks, and clothes.
Is this something an ordinary six-year-old child could accomplish with such effort?
Isn't this enough to make Dad acknowledge Lewa's abilities?
At this moment, she truly felt that her father was being too harsh and prejudiced against Lewa, and that her Lewa was more outstanding than any other child.
If it weren't for keeping her family busy, would her little one be running around outside every day at such a young age?
She also wanted her daughter, Jiale, to grow up to be a well-bred young lady, like the young ladies and gentlemen of wealthy families, able to stay at home and learn some of the skills that young ladies learn.
But her whole family is waiting for Lewa to support them, so how could she let her Lewa stay at home like a young lady, never leaving the house?
Her son, Le Wazi, is already burdened with the responsibility of supporting such a large family; this is a burden that no single child can bear.
Does she expect her daughter to both earn money and be a proper young lady at home?
How is that possible?
"You two should teach your child some manners. Look at the manners of your family."
A six-year-old girl managing the household—what kind of image does that have?
Qiao Qiuniang licked her lips, put down her bowl and chopsticks, and for the first time mustered the courage to look up at Qiao Qingnian and say something disrespectful she had never said before in her life.
"Dad, all the food on this table, everything you're eating, was brought back from outside by Lewazi."
All of this only came about after Lewazi took over the household.
If it weren't for Lewazi taking care of everything, if it weren't for Lewazi managing the household, our family wouldn't have enough to eat or drink.
It's even less likely that they would live in such a nice house.
All of this was given by Lewazi. Do you really think she doesn't have the ability to manage a household?
My husband and I aren't very successful, and we don't make much money.
Our husband and I can't provide you with this kind of life; it's all thanks to Lewazi's hard work.
Even the cotton clothes you're wearing were bought for you by Lewazi from outside.
When my husband and I were in charge of the household, our family didn't have a good life. We even had trouble getting enough to eat and wear, and the house we lived in was drafty and leaky.
But things are different now. Ever since Lewazi took over the household management, I no longer have to worry about making a living or about not having enough to eat for the next meal.
I never want to hear any more complaints about Lewazi from you. Lewazi is the apple of my eye.
She works tirelessly for her family, and yet you still say such things to her. I feel sorry for my own child.
She's back, and instead of caring whether she was tired, hungry, or suffered any injustices outside, you say she needs to be disciplined.
I am very satisfied that I have been able to raise such a child.
I'm also glad she's not as timid as me; in fact, I'm quite happy that she's so lively and unruly.
Qiao Qingnian stared at the daughter he had raised since childhood in disbelief, as if he didn't recognize her at all.
When did his daughter learn to talk back?
When did I ever speak to him so loudly?
With trembling hands, Qiao Qingnian pointed at Qiao Qiuniang, opened his mouth but couldn't utter a word.
"You, you, you—"
An Dalin put down his chopsticks, his face beaming with unprecedented joy. He never imagined that his daughter-in-law would say something so original.
However, there is a lot of truth to what he said.
There is no doubt that all of this is thanks to his precious granddaughter.
The only thing that's absolutely perfect about his precious granddaughter is that he can't find fault with her.
But this old-fashioned in-law always wanted to cause trouble for his granddaughter.
“My dear in-law, we are truly delighted to have you staying here, but you need not worry about our family's rules for daily life.”
You can just stay here and enjoy your retirement; I guarantee you'll be treated to the best of my ability.
Qiao Qingnian slammed down his chopsticks and bowl, walked away with a cold face, and didn't even finish his meal.
Such situations were commonplace at the An family's dinner table, and everyone ate their meals silently, not daring to utter a sound.
The dinner table fell silent for a moment, with only the sound of eating audible.
The Qiao family's side was in a rather awkward position; they were essentially eating, drinking, and staying there for free.
All the food, drink, and daily necessities were provided by the An family. From their perspective, they couldn't possibly say something as indifferent as Qiao Qingnian.
Moreover, the family had long been used to Qiao Qingnian's temper after living together for so many years.
Such things were commonplace in the Qiao family. They could always hear complaints, but they would just listen silently and never dare to refute or argue with Qiao Qingnian.
It's easy to imagine how much Qiao Qingnian's dignity was humiliated and how much he lost face when Qiao Qiuniang suddenly spoke up at the dinner table.
