Xie Laoda continued, "Also, Third Brother, look at Zhao Chi and Zhao Shen, they've just reached school age, and Zhao Rui has only just learned to talk and walk. Plus, Tian Qiu is still young. If only Third Brother and Sister-in-law were to take care of this whole family, they'd be exhausted sooner or later. So, let Mom come to the family compound to help you and Third Brother and Sister-in-law. It'll greatly reduce the burden on you."
"Third brother, do you think what Big Brother said makes sense? If you think what Big Brother said makes sense, then when Big Brother returns, Big Brother will have a good talk with Mom and ask her to come over and help you guys as soon as possible. What do you think about this matter?"
Xie Heng neither nodded nor shook his head. He was still thinking about what Boss Xie said and had not responded for a long time.
Seeing Xie Heng's hesitation, the eldest brother Xie gritted his teeth and said, "Third brother, how about this? If Mom comes, then you don't need to pay the ten yuan pension you give her every month. After all, Mom lives and eats with you. You support her here and provide her with food and clothing, so you don't have to stop paying the pension. When Mom comes, if you are willing to give her some pocket money, give it to her. If you don't, that's fine too.
Third brother, you are the leader now and will go further in the future. If your sister-in-law still thinks about her family all the time like she does now, no matter how capable you are, you will only be sucked dry by the Zhang family. Besides, are the Zhang family so good?
If it happens once, it will happen twice, and if it happens twice, it will happen three times.
Your father-in-law might ask you to help his son enlist in the army today, and tomorrow he might ask you to help his son marry a wife, and the day after tomorrow he might ask you to help your brother-in-law get a promotion and a raise in the army. "Third brother, I don't need to tell you this, you understand it, right?"
Xie Heng's face darkened. Of course he knew what Boss Xie was talking about.
He had many reasons for not agreeing, including the ten yuan pension, the relationship issues between his mother and Zhang Yumei, and other daily matters. But now that Boss Xie had directly said that he would give his mother the ten yuan pension every month after she arrived, Xie Heng was somewhat tempted.
However, Xie Heng still did not agree directly. He just told Boss Xie that he needed to discuss it again and think about it carefully.
But Boss Xie saw that Xie Heng was gradually accepting the matter, so he stopped forcing Xie Heng to agree. So the matter did not come to a conclusion until Boss Xie left.
But after Boss Xie returned to the Jixiang Brigade, he immediately told Liu Pan'er about this matter. When Liu Pan'er heard that Zhang Yumei had dared to give her son's salary to her family, she immediately became furious. If Boss Xie hadn't stopped her in time, she would have called to scold Zhang Yumei.
Inside the Xie family, Boss Xie finally managed to calm Liu Pan'er down and told her he wanted her to go to the military family compound to look after Zhang Yumei. Of course, Boss Xie also told her that if she went to the compound, she would lose her monthly pension. He also mentioned the current Xie Heng, but she still hadn't agreed.
When Liu Pan'er heard that Xie Heng did not agree, she became furious again.
Liu Pan'er is not a fool. She knows that now that she lives with Boss Xie, Boss Xie has long been unwilling to support an old woman like her. If it weren't for her reputation, Boss Xie would have driven her away long ago.
Of course, there was also Xie Heng, and Boss Xie still wanted to rely on Xie Dazhu and Liu Paner to provide a future for his three sons. That was why Boss Xie was willing to support Liu Paner.
But now that there was such a good opportunity, not only did Boss Xie want to seize it, but Liu Pan'er also wanted to seize it. After all, who would want to work in the fields at such an old age? Who doesn't want to enjoy life to the fullest? But the only regret was that the ten yuan a month was gone, but that was a small matter. After she arrived at the army, Xie Heng would definitely give her money. She would be in charge of her son's money, and everyone else would be left alone. Thinking of this, Liu Pan'er, who had been feeling depressed just now, immediately became happy, as if she was going to go to the family compound to enjoy life.
Three days after Boss Xie returned to the Jixiang Brigade, after discussing with Liu Paner, Boss Xie called Xie Heng directly. Xie Heng initially thought that something had happened at home, but he didn't expect that it was his mother Liu Paner who answered the phone.
Liu Pan'er first showed concern for Xie Heng, and told him that after Xie's eldest brother came back, he told her that he had lost weight, so she, as his mother, came to care for him and asked him to take good care of his health. After reminiscing about the past with Xie Heng, Liu Pan'er continued, "Third brother, you have a really hard life. Look at you, your previous wife died, leaving you a widower, and your current wife is a spendthrift, and she only cares about her mother's family. Third brother, your mother is worried about you."
Xie Heng listened to Liu Pan'er's crying and rubbed his forehead. "Mom, it was my eldest brother who told you. Mom, I will take care of this matter, don't worry."
Before Xie Heng could finish his words, Liu Pan'er continued, "Third brother, don't blame your eldest brother. He only said that because mother forced him to. In fact, your eldest brother didn't want to say it.
Third brother, how are you going to handle this? Can you handle it? Your eldest brother said you've been very tired lately, and I'm worried about you! Third brother, there won't be any work to do in the fields soon, so how about I go to the army and help you look after your wife? And help you take care of your children?
As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Heng sighed and said helplessly: "Mom, I will take care of this matter." After that, Xie Heng didn't wait for Liu Pan'er to say anything else. He just said that he had something to do and hung up.
After hanging up the phone, both Boss Xie and Liu Pan'er were in a bad mood. In the end, they went home without saying a word.
But Xie Laoer found out about this, and he drank and laughed at it all night long.
Just a week after this incident, Xie Heng suddenly called Boss Xie and asked him to send Liu Pan'er to the army immediately so that she could help him take care of Zhang Yumei.
This made Liu Paner, who originally felt that she could not enjoy the happiness, instantly happy. Boss Xie was afraid that if this matter was delayed, he would regret it, so he packed Liu Paner's luggage and sent it over.
As for why Xie Heng suddenly agreed, the reason was simple. Of course, it was because Jiang Xiufen and Wang Xiuying's plot against Zhang Yumei had worked. Zhang Yumei must have embarrassed Xie Heng, so he hurriedly called Liu Pan'er from his hometown to watch over Zhang Yumei and prevent her from causing trouble again.
