Chapter 306 Let’s Stay Away
Li Xiuli patted her mother's rough hands and patiently replied, "They are all my family's things."
"Tangtang and his four siblings all have formal jobs now. Life at home has improved, and I'll be able to be filial to my father and mother in the future."
Life has been difficult these years. Let alone being filial to my parents, it’s good enough if I don’t take anything back.
It's not that she doesn't feel uncomfortable.
Li Xiuli could only be happy that she would have the opportunity to be filial to her parents in the future.
After hearing what his daughter said, Old Man Li felt like he was dreaming.
He coughed lightly and said, "Tell me in detail..."
Li Xiuli took a small wooden stick with a missing leg and sat beside the bed, telling the old couple about the changes in the Lin family.
Seeing her mother talking to her grandparents, Lin Tang made two bowls of malted milk with hot water.
As the sweet smell came out, the room seemed to brighten up.
Old Man Li and Mrs. Li haven't eaten anything decent for at least a month and a half.
I couldn't help swallowing when I smelled the sweetness.
"What is this? It smells so good." Mrs. Li said embarrassedly.
Li Xiuli felt very distressed.
He took a bowl from Lin Tang and handed it to the old couple.
"This is malted milk. Tangtang bought it for you. It can nourish your body. Come and try it, Dad and Mom."
Old man Li took it with trembling hands, his eyes sore.
"...Hey, Dad, my granddaughter is so filial!"
It’s much better than having grandchildren watching them being kicked out of the house!
Mrs. Li saw that the boss looked more energetic.
He turned his face away and wiped the moisture from the corners of his eyes.
A smile filled his eyes.
"We have talked so much that we forgot about Qingshan. Xiuli, didn't you say Qingshan is here too? Where is Qingshan?" Mrs. Li asked, remembering him.
The smile on Li Xiuli's face froze.
It was hard for her not to mind that Wu Chunhua deliberately did not convey the message to her.
Although it was a favor for Wu Chunhua to bring a message to him, it was his duty not to do so.
However, they had known each other for decades, and Wu Chunhua was too cold-hearted in such a matter of life and death.
never mind!
It's all over. Stay away from that person from now on.
After figuring it out, Li Xiuli explained, "Something happened to the Wang family, and Qingshan went to report the death to the Wu family..."
"Announcement of death?" Mrs. Li opened her eyes wide, "Who is in trouble?"
She went to pick wild vegetables yesterday afternoon and saw Chunhua and Wang Jinbao. So the one who got into trouble was either Chunhua's husband or her daughter?!
Li Xiuli: "...Wu Chunhua's daughter fell from a ladder and died last night."
Mrs. Li was stunned for a moment.
With a cry of regret, he said:
"How did this happen? That girl is about the same age as Tangtang. It must have been difficult for her to survive the famine and grow up this big."
The old man is soft-hearted and can't stand hearing such things.
Li Xiuli didn't want to talk about the Wang family, so she simply changed the subject.
"Dad, Mom, Tangtang bought a bicycle for our family. It will be convenient for me to come back in the future."
"If you have anything to say, please let me know. I'll tell the villagers later."
It’s not that I don’t want to bring my parents over and take care of them myself.
Rather, the elderly believe that a nest of gold or silver is not as good as their own doghouse, and they also believe that it is difficult to leave their hometown, and they are afraid of being criticized if they ask their daughters to take care of them in their old age.
They would not be willing to go to Shuangshan Brigade.
Mrs. Li felt warm in her heart and did not refuse.
"Your father and I are still capable, so we won't burden you for the next two years. When we can't do it anymore, we will make things difficult for you many days." She said with a smile.
The wrinkled face and gray hair make people feel sad.
Li Xiuli felt like there was a stone blocking her chest and she couldn't utter a word.
"How can you say I'm a burden!" Lin Tang retorted in a soft voice.
There was a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.
"Grandpa and grandma raised my mother when she was little, and my mother is taking care of you two. Isn't this what we should do?"
As he said that, he took out a hundred yuan and stuffed it into Li Xiuli's pocket.
Everyone in the room was puzzled.
Lin Tang deliberately said in front of the two elderly people: "Mom, this money is my filial piety to you. It is your private money. You can do whatever you want. I will give you more when you have spent it."
To be honest, Li Xiuli manages a large family and always thinks about her family, so she has never had any private money.
This is the first time.
Li Xiuli was stunned.
She said with a smile: "Why do I need private money? My family has enough food and shelter, so I don't need it."
He reached out and wanted to put the money back.
Lin Tang held her hand and didn't take it.
"Why not? Mom can honor my grandpa and grandma if she doesn't need it."
This is an opportunity to give money to the two elderly people.
Mrs. Li quickly waved her hands and said, "We don't want it. If you really want to, just send some food."
Her granddaughter was so thoughtful, and she felt incredibly warm inside.
"Who would complain about having too much money?" Lin Tang said with a smile, "In life, eating, drinking, defecating, urinating, and sleeping all cost money."
“There aren’t many places to spend money in the village, but there are some.
If you and my grandfather are reluctant to spend it, then save it. Money is confidence."
After persuading the old couple, he looked at Li Xiuli.
"Mom, my three brothers all have serious jobs now, and we've built a yard. Let's discuss this when we get home. We'll each give you and my dad a few dollars a month. You can buy whatever you want and use it however you want."
This idea was inspired by what happened to her grandparents today.
The elderly in rural areas have no security at all.
If children don’t keep their parents in mind, their later life will be miserable.
Li Xiuli was stunned for a moment, then reacted and said, "Your father and I have enough food and shelter, why do we need money? It's not easy for you to earn money, so save it for yourselves."
She and the head of the household were still capable, so why were they asking for money from the child now?!
Lin Tang is sometimes very stubborn.
Especially when it comes to respecting parents, he is very tough.
"I don't care. I'll discuss it with my brother and the others when I get back..."
Hearing her words, Lin Qingshan walked into the house with a smile, "I agree!"
"But Tangtang doesn't need to pay for it. Qingshui, Qingmu and I will..."
Before he could finish his words, he met Lin Tang's death stare.
"Brother, are you creating a rift between men and women? Why shouldn't I have to pay? Am I not my parents' biological child?" The little girl said angrily with her face puffed up like a bun.
Lin Tang knew that her brother had no other intentions, but she still felt uncomfortable.
Maybe it's because... I feel left out?!
Lin Qingshan, who just felt sorry for his sister who had a hard time making money, said, "..."
"...I didn't." He explained quickly.
There was a hint of urgency in his calm expression. "I just think you girls have too many places to spend money. I don't mean that..."
Seeing that his elder brother was anxious, Lin Tang softened his heart first.
"Okay, okay, I know what Big Brother means, but I don't want to be out of sync with you guys!"
Lin Qingshan immediately reflected on himself.
I would feel uncomfortable if I thought about being excluded.
He said in frustration, "I was mistaken."
After this incident, he realized that anything said or done in the name of doing good for others is disrespectful in the name of love.
Lin Tang smiled slightly and said, "It's okay, I know Big Brother is doing this for my own good."
