Chapter 128 Wu Family Quarrel
Xie Yi was tired from studying and his head was itchy, so he walked out of the room and prepared to go outside to get a frozen persimmon to eat. As soon as he went out and closed the door, he turned around and found his mother looking at him with a puzzled expression.
He was really confused. He didn't cause any trouble today, so why was his mother looking at him like that?
"Mom, what's wrong with you?"
Gao Xiulan asked quietly, "What are you doing in the room? So quiet."
"Oh, I'm studying! I'm reading with Xiaotong."
Xie Yi looked as if it was a matter of course.
Gao Xiulan opened her mouth wide when she heard this, unable to close it for a long time, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
She really didn't expect this to happen. It turns out that marrying the right wife makes all the difference.
"Study hard, mom will make you something delicious tonight, you can study slowly."
When Gao Xiulan heard that Xie Yi wanted to eat frozen persimmons, she quickly took out a few and stuffed them into his hands.
"Well, go eat. I'll cook. You can learn slowly. Mom won't rush."
Xie Yi was dragged and pulled by Gao Xiulan into the house and the door was closed.
He stood at the door behind the room, looking at the frozen persimmons in his hand, sighed, and resigned himself to his fate as he continued to study.
Gao Xiulan was happily cutting and washing vegetables in the kitchen, and whispering to Xie Dajiao while she was working.
She looked outside and said, "Old Xie, my son is actually studying with Xiaotong. Oh my goodness, I can't believe it."
Xie Da Jiao agreed cheerfully: "Learning is a good thing. It's not bad to read more books."
"Who says it's not true? That's the truth!"
Wu Shengli, who was in the west room opposite, stood with his hands on his waist, looking at the bicycle without a seat leaning against the wall in the main room, sighing and wrinkling his face.
Wu Jiabao went out to play early today, and now there are only the couple at home.
"Look at you, you just show off all day long, and you still have the nerve to blame me!"
Diao Yulian sat there eating breakfast and spoke sarcastically to Wu Shengli.
Wu Shengli was instantly like his tail was stepped on. He pointed at Diao Yulian who was glaring at him with a crooked mouth and gritted his teeth: "You woman, if you can't speak, then shut up!"
Diao Yulian had just put down the bowl and was about to continue arguing with him when she turned sideways and pointed, then looked up and saw Wu Chunyan standing at the door.
She was instantly shocked and stammered, "Chun...Chunyan, why are you back?"
Wu Shengli suddenly turned around and looked in surprise at Wu Chunyan who walked into the house with a bag and a pale face.
He hadn't seen his eldest daughter for a long time, and for a moment he felt a little strange about her.
After Wu Chunyan entered the room, she closed the door of the main hall.
Diao Yulian immediately adjusted herself and snorted coldly, "You've grown so independent that you didn't even come home for Chinese New Year. I've really wasted my time raising you!"
Seeing how thin Wu Chunyan was now, his mind wandered away.
"You didn't come back to ask us for living expenses, did you? I don't have any money to give you."
Wu Chunyan's voice was hoarse as she looked at her parents, who were defensive and showed no concern at all, and said directly, "I came back because I have something to discuss with you."
Wu Shengli grabbed the frantic Diao Yulian and said sternly, "What's the matter? Daya, tell me."
His bicycle seat had just been stolen and he was already feeling upset. He also felt a little uncomfortable when he saw his eldest daughter running back without even saying hello.
Wu Chunyan looked at the two people in front of her with impatient expressions and said, "I may not be able to give you the five yuan next month. I don't have any money on me. I had to borrow money for the ticket to come back this time."
As soon as these words were spoken, Diao Yulian, who was standing behind Wu Shengli, was blown away like a firecracker.
She stepped forward and shoved her daughter, shouting at the top of her lungs, "What? You're getting so bold! I raised you, and now that you've become successful, you don't recognize me, right?"
Wu Shengli also echoed with a sullen face: "Daya, you are studying outside, and we don't want your money. We are just helping you save it. When you get married in the future, this money will be your dowry."
That’s what they say, but how much is left at the end of the day depends on the conscience of the couple.
"I didn't say I won't support you. Can I send money back every month after I get a job?"
Wu Chunyan's voice was filled with tears. She really didn't have much money now.
Diao Yulian, who was at the forefront, was still used to being the bad guy: "No, I won't give you five dollars a month. There's no negotiation on that."
Wu Shengli also agreed with this, singing the good cop song on the side: "Daya, you are alone in a foreign place, and your mother and I are worried that you will be cheated of your money by a man with bad intentions."
If he loses both his money and his life, then he will lose his own money. He will not do such a losing business.
Wu Chunyan clutched the bag tightly in her hand and asked, "If it's five yuan this year, will it still be five yuan next year or the year after?"
Diao Yulian felt uncomfortable. She also felt that five yuan was too little. She had originally wanted six yuan after the New Year.
She hesitated at this moment: "Then if you earn more in the future, won't you have to give more?"
"We don't want your money. Just like your father said, we are saving it for you. We are just worried that you will be cheated."
As Diao Yulian spoke, she almost believed it.
"I want to save my money for myself. The five dollars I send home every month is more than enough."
When Wu Chunyan was working at home, she also gave her family living expenses every month, and five yuan was enough to supplement the household expenses.
And given her mother's lavish spending habits, it's hard for her to save any money.
Nowadays, if many families have a boy, most parents will tacitly give the house and money to the boy, and the daughter will be a guest when she comes home after she gets married.
Correspondingly, boys take on the responsibility of supporting their parents, while girls come back to take care of them.
"It's five dollars at most. I can't afford more."
She was being honest, saying that there were very few parents in their forties who wanted to raise a daughter who was still in school.
"I need to send money home every month. You can't ask for five dollars last year and six dollars this year. The retirement plan should be clearly stated in writing."
Diao Yulian refused without a second thought: "That won't do. As parents, do we really have to listen to you?"
She is not stupid. If it is written on paper, it will become evidence, and it will be difficult for her to ask for more money later.
Diao Yulian couldn't control her voice at all in the main hall, and everyone in the compound leaned out to see what had happened to the Wu family.
The Zhou family, who lived just across the wall from the Wu family to the west, listened with great interest, their mouths pressed against the wall. After thinking for a moment, they quietly left the house.
Gao Xiulan and Xie Dajiao in the east were also talking about this at home.
"What's going on with Diao Yulian so mad so early in the morning?"
"No, I have to go out and take a look."
Xie Da Jiao couldn't stop him and followed behind. They got off the kang and opened the door, and saw that many people had gathered in the yard.
Jin Qiaofeng was running around outside, trying to squeeze in through any opportunity.
"Qiaofeng, what's going on? There are so many people."
Jin Qiaofeng whispered, "The eldest daughter of the Wu family is back and making a fuss at home!"
Gao Xiulan became excited when she heard this, and squeezed in together with Jin Qiaofeng.
As soon as I entered, I saw Zhang Dazui and Yu Afen in the crowd, and I also saw Director Ma wearing a hat and looking hopeless.
Oh no, something happens again!
