Chapter 150 Retirement Money
Gu Bei didn't know what Zhang Dahua was thinking. He was now worried about where to get the money.
He checked all his relatives and finally concluded that only Gu Yan was able to pay the money.
But Gu Yan had a lot of opinions about him and probably wouldn't easily agree to lend him money.
Especially since they had offended him just now.
It would be difficult for him to get money from Gu Yan on his own, so it seems he still has to rely on his parents.
Thinking of this, Gu Bei said to Zhang Dahua: "Mom, please help me. If you don't help me, I don't know what to do?
I'm not good at hunting, and if the shop can't continue to operate, my family of three will have no way to survive.
Mother, you love me the most, you can't bear to see me and your eldest grandson starve to death, right?"
Li Ying and Gu Xiang, who was about to come in after reconciling their faces, shuddered at the same time.
It's really disgusting that such a grown man is acting like a spoiled child with his mother.
But it was obvious that Zhang Dahua was very much attracted by his behavior. She felt very comforted that her son depended on her so much.
Although she felt relieved, she did not dare to agree. After all, it was fifty taels of silver. Even if she wanted to help, she couldn't.
"Son, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's that I don't have any. There's really no other way." Zhang Dahua said in embarrassment.
"No, Mom, you can help me. Only you can help me." Gu Bei said.
"I don't even have any money, how can I help you?" Zhang Dahua wondered.
"Mom, you don't have it, but the third brother does. Go ask him for it." Gu Bei said hurriedly.
"Third brother? No, I won't go. Third brother already hates me. He won't give it to me even if I go." When Zhang Dahua heard Gu Bei asking her to ask Gu Yan for money, she quickly shook her head and refused.
"Mom, you're his mother. Even if he hates you, so what? As long as you go and make trouble with him, he won't dare to refuse you.
If it really doesn't work, you can ask him for pension money.
You raised him, so it's only right that he gives you money for your retirement." Gu Bei's mind raced as he came up with another idea.
Zhang Dahua stopped talking. She had never thought about asking for retirement money.
The old man is still capable and doesn't need them to support him in his old age.
Gu Xiang, who was standing by, saw that her mother was about to be persuaded by her second brother again, so she quickly went over and pulled Zhang Dahua.
"Mom, didn't my dad tell you not to go look for my third brother?
If you go, my father will be angry, and third brother doesn't have much affection for us.
If you ask him for money again, you will only push him further away." Gu Xiang said angrily, looking at Gu Bei.
"Get out of the way, you little girl. What does this have to do with you? Why are you meddling in this?" Gu Bei walked up and pushed Gu Xiang aside.
Then he said to Zhang Dahua, "Mom, don't listen to the nonsense that dead girl Gu Xiang says. The third child is your son, and it is only natural that he will take care of you in your old age."
"What do you mean by natural and right? Then how much money will you give to mother for her retirement?" Gu Xiang asked sharply.
"What...what does it have to do with you? I will definitely take care of my mother in her old age." Gu Bei was speechless after being retorted by Gu Xiang.
"Huh, from now on? You're just saying nice things. You're not unfilial, but you're filial to your father-in-law and mother-in-law.
My parents have never seen a penny of your filial tribute, nor have they ever eaten a bite of your snacks.
You took plenty of the pheasants and rabbits Dad hunted, though." Gu Xiang looked down on Gu Bei.
Gu Bei was exposed and became angry and wanted to hit Gu Xiang.
Gu Xiang was not stupid either. She ran away as soon as she saw that she was going to suffer a loss.
After running for a while, he looked back and made sure that Gu Bei was not chasing him, then he stopped in frustration.
Gu Xiang kicked the grass on the roadside with her feet and muttered to herself.
"Hateful, second brother is so annoying, he only knows how to come back and ask for things and money.
My parents have already said that they will start saving for her dowry from now on. As soon as Gu Bei arrived, he asked his mother to pay the rent for his shop.
The mother was the same. In her heart, it seemed that Gu Bei was the only child she had.
Whenever it comes to Gu Bei, he ignores everything else."
The more Gu Xiang thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. Normally, she was favored at home. After all, she was the only daughter.
But whenever her mother encountered something concerning her second brother, she seemed to be possessed by a demon. There was only Gu Bei in her mind and eyes, and the other children seemed to not exist.
Gu Xiang didn't want to go home, but didn't know where to go.
After thinking about it, I decided to go find my third brother. I followed the path to Gu Yan's house.
Now Gu Yan and Li Wanqing are still packing the wild ducks.
"Third brother, third sister-in-law." Gu Xiang climbed up the mountainside reluctantly and came to the cave where Gu Yan and his friends were.
"Gu Xiang? Why are you here?" Gu Yan was working with his back to the mountain road and didn't notice her coming up.
Gu Xiang didn't know what to say, so she just stood there without saying anything.
"Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you? What happened? Why are you crying?" Li Wanqing was hanging the pickled wild duck on the wall.
When I heard Gu Xiang's voice, I turned around and saw that Gu Xiang's eyes were red, obviously she had been crying.
It would have been fine if someone else had asked, but now that Li Wanqing had asked, Gu Xiang immediately burst into tears of grievance: "Third sister-in-law~."
Li Wanqing and Gu Yan looked at each other. Did something really happen?
Gu Yan shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.
What could Li Wanqing do? She could only go up and comfort him.
"Come on, stop crying. Sit down and talk about it." Li Wanqing brought a small stool and put it on the ground.
"Third sister-in-law." Gu Xiang choked up and told the story again.
Then he said, "Third brother, I'm afraid mother will come looking for you again. I heard that second brother's rent is still short of fifty taels of silver.
No one else in our family can afford it except you.
My second brother told me to ask you for money for my retirement. I think I’m tempted.”
"Is that all? Don't worry, I won't give any money to anyone who comes.
I said this morning that there will be no brother named Lao Er in the future, and I meant it.
As for my mother, it’s not impossible for her to ask for retirement money, but my father is still able to work and doesn’t need his children to support him.
When my father can no longer work, I will contribute as much as my elder brothers contribute to his retirement.
In short, I will pay no less than what I owe, and no more than what I shouldn't. "Gu Yan had already thought about it. He would not shirk his responsibilities, nor would he interfere in matters that were not his business.
"Your second brother is really something. Doesn't he know that Li Yingdi took all the money back to her parents' home? Now he can't even pay the rent?" Li Wanqing complained.
"Who knows? Ever since he met Li Yingdi, Gu Bei's mind has never been clear." Gu Yan sneered at Gu Bei's behavior.
"Third sister-in-law, third sister-in-law, where is my little nephew?" Gu Xiang had cried for a while, but now she had recovered. She looked around but didn't see the baby, so she asked quickly.
"He's sleeping in the house. He should wake up soon." Li Wanqing replied.
"Third sister-in-law, can I go in and see him?" Gu Xiang asked.
"Go ahead, there's nothing wrong with that."
