“Mother, although Sulan’s difficult childbirth was not caused by you, she is still a member of our Yu family!”
She needs money to have a baby, so the government should definitely cover it!
Although spending 500 yuan is indeed a bit much, it's for saving a life, so it doesn't matter.
So the money has already been spent, where are you going to get the money from Cheng Yuan?
Don't make things difficult for the younger generation.
If you really don't like our household, you can just move out.
Yu Dazhu couldn't stand seeing his mother treating Su Lan like an outsider.
That's really going too far, Mom.
Fortunately, my daughter-in-law wasn't home, otherwise I don't know how heartbroken I would have been to hear those words!
Su Lan didn't mind that the Yu family was poor; she married into the family even though they had nothing.
She endured hardship and toil at their home, was well-behaved and sensible, and never complained.
I never expected that my mother would still treat her like an outsider.
"Five hundred yuan is gone, brother, you make it sound so easy!"
Just by moving your lips, opening and closing them, five hundred yuan is gone.
This is basically more money than we rural folks earn in a year.
How long will this be enough for our family to eat and drink?
So you let your daughter-in-law spend it all by herself?
Su-lan is your daughter-in-law, so of course you'll side with your son.
If it were my daughter-in-law or my second son's daughter-in-law who spent 500 yuan, you definitely wouldn't agree either.
Am I right?
Yu Sanzhu was immediately displeased when he heard his elder brother say that.
"Third brother, that's not what I meant at all."
If you and your second brother's daughter-in-law were in this situation, I wouldn't say a word even if it cost me 1000 yuan, let alone 500.
This is money meant to save lives, not for eating, drinking, and having fun.
Yu Dazhu defended himself.
He wondered why his third brother would think of him that way.
"There are no 'what ifs.' Now that your daughter-in-law has spent these five hundred yuan, your eldest son's family must bear the cost."
This is the money our father left for our mother's retirement; no one is allowed to use it.
Your son is something else, he just snatches it without warning.
"When you finally reach the underworld, how will you face your deceased father?"
Yu Sanzhu's few words left Yu Dazhu speechless.
"Yu Laosan, what did you just say?"
He said that the five hundred yuan was my grandfather's retirement money left to my grandmother.
How can you say that?
Where did I say something wrong?
That money was originally left by your grandfather to your grandmother.
Yu Sanzhu stammered, clearly feeling guilty.
"My grandfather has been dead for ten years. Although I was only eleven years old at the time, I remember it very clearly."
At that time, the family didn't even have enough money to hold a funeral.
The village chief also lent our family twenty yuan.
Uncle Zhou, am I right?
Yu Chengyuan turned to ask the village chief.
"Cheng Yuan remembers correctly, there was indeed such a thing."
Zhou Jianguo nodded.
At this moment, two more middle-aged men also spoke up.
"I also lent ten yuan to Aunt Wang."
"My family lent five yuan to Aunt Wang."
"This Yu Laosan is just talking nonsense here."
Ten years ago, in this impoverished, remote area, every family was dirt poor. How could anyone possibly save 500 yuan?
"Back then, the Yu family had three sons and a daughter, and they couldn't even make ends meet. They didn't have enough food to eat!"
"Exactly, exactly, what's the point of saving any money left..."
Yu Sanzhu's face turned pale and then red, and he stammered, "I don't know, my mother told me."
They directly shifted the blame to the Wang family.
Wang glared at the third son and waved her hand, "Alright, stop discussing whether it was left to me by the old man, it's none of your business."
I don't need to explain to outsiders like you.
You should all go home now and stop crowding in my yard.
The division of the family property is our own business, and it's none of your business as outsiders.
Wang began to drive people away.
"Don't go, everyone. We need witnesses to the division of the family."
Village Chief Uncle Zhou is a witness I invited; how can he leave?
Otherwise, if the family assets aren't divided properly, there will be endless disputes later.
Yu Chengyuan paused for a moment, then continued.
"Let me explain where Grandma Wang's five hundred yuan came from."
It's common knowledge that my brother has been working in a coal mine for about a year now.
He has 120 yuan a month, and my brother only keeps 2 yuan for himself each month, giving the rest to her.
And I foolishly gave her all the money I made from selling the wild animals I caught in the mountains.
My dad gave her all the little money he occasionally earned from odd jobs outside.
As for my second and third uncles, they didn't earn a single penny, let alone their sons.
She never buys new clothes for us, the eldest son's wife, let alone anything else.
She only spends money on her grandson, Yu Erbao, and grants his every request.
The other grandchildren can also benefit from this, as they can get a new set of clothes for the New Year.
She hid the rest of the money, of course.
Now you all understand where this 500 yuan came from, right?
"So the money they used to save their lives was actually earned by their family!"
Ping An earns 120 yuan a month, and she only keeps 2 yuan for herself. That Wang woman is too ruthless!
"How dare she ask someone for that 500 yuan back? She's shameless!"
"If Chengyuan hadn't told us about this today, none of us would have known!"
“I think the Wang family must still have money. How could they only have five hundred yuan in a year?”
