Chapter 411 Zou's Mother Wants Money
Zou Wan was overwhelmed when she heard her mother's words. She frowned and said, "Why did my brother come to me when he didn't have money to buy a house? Did my money come from the wind? I don't even have enough money every month! I just gave you another 1,300 yuan. Mom, please feel sorry for me too. I'm also very tired at work."
Zou's mother slapped her daughter hard and said angrily, "How come it has nothing to do with you? You are the biological sister, how can you just watch your brother when he is in trouble? Miaomiao said she would help Ajie, how can you, as the eldest sister, not give her money?"
"Mom, what's there to be embarrassed about? Ajie is already a father, you guys should just spoil him. He always wants to take money from me and Miaomiao, but don't we have to live too? It's ok for me to spend some money on you normally, but I really can't do anything about him buying a house this time. Besides, isn't there enough room for them to live in? Why do we need to buy a house?"
Zou Wan knew that since her mother had asked, it would not be enough to just give her 10,000 or 20,000 yuan. If she agreed to lend it, it would be a one-way trip.
"Oh, you live in a big villa, but your brother's family deserves to live in a shabby house? Wanwan, you are not poor, so what's wrong with helping your brother? You are all brothers from the same mother, so don't be so stingy." Zou's mother now regrets letting her eldest daughter go to school for so long. Look at what she has learned in school? She doesn't even have the most basic love for her younger brother. She is worse than her second daughter, who went out to work before graduating from high school. Now she, as a mother, listens to everything she says. How easy it is to control her.
Zou Wan's eyes widened and she asked, "How do I have money? I earn 3,500 yuan a month, and I have to save 1,000 yuan for Ranran every month. My child's kindergarten costs several hundred yuan a month, plus the family's food, water, electricity, gas, etc., which one doesn't cost money? My salary is not enough to cover everything."
"Oh, are you stupid? Why do you spend your own money? Ranran's surname is Bai, right? You asked Chen Guang to take out the money. Besides, why do you save a thousand yuan for a girl every month? Oh, by the way, since you save money for Ranran every month, you can use the money to buy a house for your brother first. Don't worry, your brother will definitely return it to you when he has money." Zou's mother continued to persuade her earnestly, and she was determined to get her eldest daughter to take out the money.
"Mom, I told you not to have any ideas about Ranran. That's the money I saved for her. No one is allowed to touch it."
"Since you don't want to touch Ranran's money, then you can give me 100,000. The Chen family is so rich, 100,000 should be a piece of cake." Zou's mother stopped pretending. Since the eldest daughter said that she had no money, then her husband's family must be rich, right?
"Mom," Zou Wan looked at her mother in disbelief, "My brother asked my in-laws for money to buy a house? Listen to what you said, are you right?"
Mother Zou shrugged and said shamelessly, "Why is it wrong? I raised such an excellent daughter and gave her to the Bai family. She also gave birth to a granddaughter for them. What's wrong with giving them some money?"
"What's wrong with paying a little money? Mom, ask yourself, when I got married to Guang, my parents-in-law gave me a betrothal gift of 100,000 yuan. Did you give me any? In order not to be looked down upon by my in-laws, I gritted my teeth and said in front of my parents-in-law that you gave me 50,000 yuan just to save face. At that time, did you consider my situation?"
Originally, her husband's family was much better off than hers, and he was also a good person. She always felt inferior in front of her husband. Yes, she was unlucky and had no choice but to have such parents, but she didn't want to be controlled by her parents all the time and be sucked blood by them like a blood bag. Her husband said that he was jealous of his sister-in-law and told her to ask for fairness from her own parents. Haha, she still wanted fairness, and it would be good enough if she was not crushed to death.
Zou's mother looked at her eldest daughter's sad face and grumbled, "We didn't do anything wrong! Who doesn't accept a gift when marrying off their daughter? The Chen family is so rich, why can't I accept 100,000 yuan? Besides, when you got married, didn't I give you six quilts and a set of tableware as a dowry? That also cost me a lot of money, right?
Moreover, when your second sister got married, I received a betrothal gift of 10,000 yuan, and I didn't give her anything as a dowry, which was good for you. Your second sister is now saying that I am partial to you. I treat you well, but you are still not satisfied. "
Zou Wan sighed deeply. She knew that it was pointless to say these things to her mother. She didn't feel guilty at all, nor did she think that she had done anything wrong.
"Okay, let's not go over the past. It's boring. I have to save money every month to make up for the 50,000 yuan gap. Otherwise, if someone asks me where the 50,000 yuan returned as a betrothal gift went one day, how will I answer?"
Zou Wan was also tired. She should have known that her mother only thought of her eldest daughter when she asked for money.
"So you mean you won't help your brother?" Zou's mother frowned tightly. She didn't come here just to attend the wedding banquet, but mainly to ask for money for her son. How could she go back empty-handed?
"It's not that I don't want to help, I really don't have money." Zou Wan stared at her mother, then sighed, "I only saved more than 10,000 yuan, and I'll give Ajie 10,000 yuan. Is there any more?"
"Ten thousand? Wanwan, you are not as good as Miaomiao. She has taken 30,000. 100,000 is not here, so what about 80,000? 50,000, 50,000 should be fine, right?" Zou's mother was also anxious. She had already backed down, and her eldest daughter couldn't be so ignorant!
Zou Wan waved her hands and said weakly, "It's just 10,000 yuan. You can take it or not. If it doesn't work out, I'll divorce you and take the child back to my parents' home and let you and dad raise us."
"Well, that won't work. We don't have a place for you to live. Forget it, ten thousand is ten thousand. Here, give it to me now." Zou's mother stretched out her hand towards Zou Wan and said.
"Mom, what good family would keep so much cash at home? I'll go to the bank tomorrow and give it to you. By the way, you're going back tomorrow, right? When do you plan to go back? Let Chen Guang take you there."
Zou's mother waved her hand and said, "We won't go back yet. Let's stay at your house for a few days. Your house is comfortable to live in. It's just right that Ranran is on vacation, so I'll take care of her for a few days."
Zou Wan thought about it and nodded, "That's fine. Chen Guang and I both have to go to work. You and dad can help me look after her for a few days. Her grandparents are also busy these days."
