Volume 1 Chapter 241 Wang Chunmei comes back for dinner
Even though 300 yuan seems like a lot of money, when Sheng Wanyan and Gu Tingxiao are not around, the four elders in the family, Brother Gu and Sister-in-law Gu, never run out of nutritional supplements.
There are also clothes for the four elders, some daily snacks, and meat that the elders can often eat.
It is inevitable that the elderly will have some physical discomfort, and it is Mrs. Gu who is responsible for taking care of them.
These are much more valuable than the 300 yuan, and many of them are invisible to the public.
However, Sheng Wanyan and Gu Tingxiao cannot assume that others did not do it just because they could not see it.
They are thousands of miles away and cannot push the responsibility of the old man onto Brother Gu and Sister-in-law Gu.
Brother Gu and his wife have children, and they have to take care of their own family, and take care of the elderly after work.
They are thousands of miles away, if they can't contribute their labor, then they can contribute money!
Gu Tingxiao often brought things back home during this period. When Mrs. Gu saw this, she couldn't help but admire Sheng Wanyan's attentiveness.
But even so, Mrs. Gu was still worried about whether Sheng Wanyan and Gu Tingxiao had enough money.
"This is too much. You are in the army, and your children will have many places to spend money."
Mrs. Gu held Sheng Wanyan's hand, and she was naturally happy that her sister-in-law understood her hard work.
But as the future mistress of the Gu family, her mind and vision are different.
She would subconsciously think about how her younger brothers and sisters were doing at home and how she, as the eldest sister-in-law, could help.
As the saying goes, when one prospers, all prosper; when one suffers, all suffer. She comes from a scholarly family and understands these principles best.
"Don't worry, sister-in-law, we know what's going on."
"Usually you have to take care of the elders at home. Ting Xiao and I are thousands of miles away and we really can't help."
"So don't refuse these. Elders are our responsibility as all of us."
"If we can't be around to take care of them, let us pay for it, and we'll feel at ease in the army."
When Mrs. Gu heard this, she was deeply moved. Wang Chunmei didn't see her efforts in Kyoto, as if the elderly in the family had nothing to do with the fourth room.
Fortunately, Gu Tinghao is a filial son and buys four cans of milk powder for the elders in his family every month.
Wang Chunmei never thinks about the contributions she has made as the eldest sister-in-law.
She believes that the elderly in the family have pensions and wages, and they live with the eldest wife in their old age, so these will definitely be given to the eldest wife in the future.
She was terribly afraid that she would suffer a loss, but the property had been divided, so it was fair and just!
How to distribute the pensions of the two elderly people in the family and the wages of my parents-in-law is their own business.
I don’t know what Wang Chunmei is thinking. Why is she so petty?
To put it bluntly, the elders in your family are all important people, and you will reap benefits in the future if you are more filial.
But Wang Chunmei couldn't even figure this out! ! !
She really didn't know whether to say she was smart or stupid.
When the elders in the family saw Gu Tingxiao buying so many things, Gu's mother was worried that it was Gu Tingxiao's own idea.
Pulling him aside, she asked quietly, "Tell me the truth, have you discussed this with Yan'er?"
"So many things cost a lot of money. When your child is born, you will have a lot more things to spend money on."
"Yan'er is such a good child, you can't just do it on your own without consulting me!"
Gu Tingxiao frowned when he heard what his mother said. What was his mother thinking about?
"Mom, this was all Yan'er's initiative."
"Don't worry, we've discussed this."
Mother Gu felt relieved upon hearing this and patted her chest to calm down.
"That's good. That's good."
After Gu's mother recovered, she took Sheng Wanyan's hand and praised her, and said a lot of intimate words.
"Yan'er, don't spend so much money next time."
"We have our own salary. You are about to give birth, so you have to save money for the child."
"When the children grow up, there will be more places to spend money."
Gu's mother gave birth to four children, but she knew how much it cost to raise a child.
Just like Brother Gu and his wife’s child Gu Jinfang, a single meal made Brother Gu and his wife go bankrupt.
Because Brother Gu and Sister-in-law Gu don’t dare to have a second child, for fear that they might give birth to another one who is so greedy.
Will the whole family starve together then?
So Brother Gu and Sister-in-law Gu don’t dare to accept it because they can’t afford to raise it!
One is enough to worry about, if there is another one, Brother Gu and Sister-in-law Gu will probably have to use up their coffin money.
Mother Gu gave most of the things to the two elderly people. She and Father Gu were in good health and did not need so much.
Sheng Wanyan didn't say anything when she saw it. She thought that when the country opens up in the future, Gu's father and mother won't have to worry about it anymore.
With these things, Brother Gu and Sister-in-law Gu can be said to have reduced a lot of pressure in the past six months.
After all, these nutritional supplements are really expensive. Even the combined salary of a couple is more than 200 yuan a month.
But the expenses of maintaining a family are high, and we also have to save money for Gu Jinfang's future.
Sheng Wanyan and Gu Tingxiao bought so many things, so of course they could not hide it from Wang Chunmei's eyes.
Wang Chunmei kept mocking Sheng Wanyan and Gu Tingxiao in her heart, those two fools. They bought so many things for the old man, but wasn't it all wasted?
They are really two idiots. This is not the way to curry favor with someone!
What’s the point of currying favor with the elderly? How long can Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu live?
Wang Chunmei touched her belly and thought that when she was in confinement after giving birth, she would find a way to ask Gu's mother to give her some food.
Only when I am in good health can I have enough milk to give to my son!
That was Mother Gu's grandson, and she didn't believe that Mother Gu would watch her grandson without milk to drink.
But Wang Chunmei got the wrong idea. Gu's mother never thought of taking care of her during her confinement.
As for the baby in her belly, she, as a grandmother, is not a parent. If her parents are not anxious, why should she be anxious?
If worst comes to worst, there is still Gu Tinghao. Wang Chunmei wants to use the child as a threat, but Gu Tinghao will not watch his child starve to death.
———
After the nanny came back, Sheng Wanyan would go to the kitchen from time to time to put spiritual spring water in the soup or rice when no one was at home.
Just add one or two drops each time, and after drinking the Lingquan water for half a month, my family members' complexion has obviously improved a lot.
Sometimes Gu Tinghao would come to see Gu Jingjing and stay for dinner, enjoying the nourishment of the spiritual spring water.
As for Wang Chunmei, she has never come since Grandpa Gu spoke last time.
Sheng Wanyan and Gu Tingxiao are going back to the army, so it is natural that I have to practice it for them.
Since Gu Tinghao came to eat, naturally Wang Chunmei came too.
Everyone didn't say anything when they saw Wang Chunmei coming. After all, Gu Tingxiao and Sheng Wanyan were leaving tomorrow.
Naturally, the brothers and sisters need to have a good reunion, as they don’t know when Gu Tingxiao will come back next time.
She will naturally not be able to come back for the next Chinese New Year, and by then Sheng Wanyan’s child will only be a few months old.
