Chapter 34 You have to have money!
34 You have to have money!
"Really?"
Tang Xu's wife and Tang Hui's wife were both stunned and hurriedly said.
Tang's second aunt didn't say much about this, she just said: "You two should still take turns cooking. Your father will get 14 yuan per month for food. You take turns to be the head of the household, half a month each."
Her eldest son is Tang Xu, her second son is Tang Hui, and there is also her second uncle Tang, who is currently working as a housekeeper.
When the whole family was gathered, Tang's second aunt announced the matter.
Both Tang Xu and Tang Hui were very surprised.
"Mom, my cousin's tea egg business is so good that it's not enough to just ask Xiaoxue to go over there. Do we have to call you as well?" Tang Xu said.
Tang's second aunt was very dissatisfied with her eldest daughter-in-law, and therefore had no good face towards her eldest son.
He didn't pay any attention to him and went straight to telling him about the two families who took turns cooking and how Uncle Tang gave them fourteen yuan a month for food expenses.
As for other matters, Aunt Tang has already assigned them all.
After that, he called the eldest son to come to Lao Qin's house and tell Shen Yiyi that she would come early tomorrow morning!
When Tang Xu came back, he also brought back two kilograms of tea leaf eggs.
The fact that Tang's second aunt was coming to work naturally caused quite a stir in the Tang family.
So, Uncle Tang, Aunt Tang and Tang Xue all have jobs.
Tang's second aunt and Tang Xue, both mother and daughter, are paid 30 yuan a month, so that's 60 yuan left.
Including Uncle Tang’s thirty-three.
Their income for three months is only 93 yuan, which is definitely a high income!
Tang Xu's wife came up with this idea.
When I went to bed at night, I told Tang Xu about this, "Do you think Mom will give us some money?"
Tang Xu sneered, "Don't even think about it. Mom won't give you a penny more from now on. You're hurting Mom too much!"
Tang Xu's wife couldn't help but hit him, "How did I hurt her feelings?"
Tang Xu gritted his teeth and said, "For so many years, have parents been subsidizing our two families? Seeing that we have a hard time, Dad spends every penny of his salary every month! As a result, after Xiaoxue got divorced and came back, she couldn't subsidize us. How can you be so shameless? Xiaoxue got divorced and came back because she really had no other choice. Do you act like a sister-in-law? Now you still want to subsidize us, what the hell do you want!"
Tang Xu's wife immediately said: "You still blame me, but it's because you are incompetent!"
"What else can you blame besides the heavens and the earth? I think my monthly salary of 45 yuan is not low! All the money goes to you, and you have not had a penny left over all these years! Even the children have to ask their parents for money to go to school! Don't think I don't know that you took all the money back to support your parents!"
Tang Xu's wife felt guilty, "Don't I have to honor my parents..."
"You respect your parents, but I don't have to respect my parents, right? They owe us, so they have to subsidize us to satisfy you, right?"
Tang Xu's wife immediately said, "I married into your family and gave birth to four children for you, but they all took the Tang family's surname!"
Tang Xu: "If you say that, who did you marry? Wouldn't it be better for you to stay at home and find a son-in-law? MLZL changed my surname to Tang, so he is no longer your child. How wronged have you been?!"
"Tang Xu, you actually said something worse than pigs and dogs. I gave birth to my child in the gates of hell!" She burst into tears.
"You can curse at me all you want. Anyway, I've seen through you. You're an ungrateful person! From now on, I won't give you a penny more than enough for living expenses. I'll save it for myself!" Tang Xu said gritting his teeth.
His salary is not low, but he still has to borrow money from his parents for his children's tuition.
But now my parents are deeply hurt by them, and they will not have a penny in the future.
Of course he has to take control of the financial affairs himself. If he lets this woman run the household, the whole family will have to starve!
Tang Xu's wife didn't expect that a conversation at night would cause her to lose the financial power. She was so upset that she wanted to cry but had no tears!
But they were not the only ones whispering, Tang Hui and his wife next door were also doing the same.
"We can afford to pay 30 yuan a month for two people, which means 60 yuan a month. How good must the tea leaf egg business be?" asked Tang Hui's wife.
Tang Hui said: "Of course it's good, otherwise how can we call mom over as well?"
Tang Hui's wife couldn't help but ask, "Do you think Mom will still subsidize our two families like before?"
"You still want this?" Tang Hui said in astonishment, "Xiaoxue has only been here for a short time, and she caused such a commotion. You two are good sisters-in-law and good daughters-in-law, and now you want them to give you some money when they make money? You are so shameless."
Tang Hui's wife started to curse, "What does it have to do with me? It's all because of that troublemaker next door. Xiao Xue was so mean to her after she came back! I didn't do that."
"You have nothing, and you are not much better. Do you think I am blind? You treat Xiaoxue like a maid!" Tang Hui said.
Of course he also told his wife privately, and he agreed to it in person but then acted the same way again.
If they talk too much, they will start quarreling again. His younger sister even told him privately that it’s okay for her to do some work and tell him to stop quarreling!
Tang Hui's wife felt a little guilty when she heard this, "But at least I'm not like the guy next door!"
"Don't think about giving him subsidies. The key is to take good care of your father. There may still be some room for recovery." Tang Hui gave her advice.
Tang Hui's wife's eyes lit up when she heard this, "You're right!"
Tang Hui glanced at the woman's little thoughts and was too lazy to care about them.
*
Uncle Tang heard from Aunt Tang that his daughter was living well and happily at her aunt's house, and had even gained some weight.
"The clothes are beautiful too. Yi Yi picked them out for me. I couldn't help but feel happy when I saw them." Aunt Tang said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Uncle Tang felt relieved.
I'm just a little hesitant. I want to live at my brother-in-law's house. Is that too much trouble?
When Tang's second uncle heard him say this, she said, "It's true that Xiaoxue lived at home before, but now Yiyi has opened a workshop outside to make tea eggs. Xiaoxue and I will move there tomorrow, and we won't disturb my younger sister and brother-in-law."
"That's good, that's good." Uncle Tang heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that.
Tang's second uncle said, "Old man, you don't have to worry about them treating you badly here. We all have jobs now, and they can only curry favor with you!"
Uncle Tang said, "Don't say that."
"Don't say that." Tang's second uncle sneered, "If we have money, we are parents, and if we don't have money, we are old men and women! I understand clearly that we still have to have money ourselves!"
Rely on your son and daughter-in-law? This is a joke. Even if you give them your heart, you won't get a good one in return!
In fact, she could have stayed at home to take care of the children and let her two daughters-in-law sell tea leaves and eggs wholesale, which would probably have earned more.
But why should she sacrifice herself to help them?
You have to be able to earn money and have cash in your hands; this is the most secure and safest way!
If they make money, maybe they can turn their eyes on her!
So go wherever it’s cool!
She raised a son and helped take care of grandchildren for so many years. She has done her duty more than enough and has a clear conscience!
Uncle Tang didn't say anything.
But this time he was actually a little sad.
"I will come back every month when the salary is paid. I will save our money in the future and not spend a penny that should not be spent! We will probably be very busy over there. You can come to see us when you are on vacation. You can bring your clothes with you and it is no problem for you to stay with us." said Tang's second uncle.
"Okay." Uncle Tang nodded.
