Xiao Hu was still acting like the boss, saying, "Wang Dong, I called you here today because of your grandmother's care. I see you all have jobs, so taking time off to take care of her is definitely not an option. How about we discuss how much each of us should contribute, and whether we should hire someone to take care of her or send her to a nursing home?"
Qi Zhijun didn't say anything, Qi Zhifang just watched coldly, and Wang Dong and Wang Hong's faces were even more unpleasant. Li Qiuxiang then said with a smile, "How much would it cost to send someone to a nursing home?"
Xiao Hu was secretly pleased. See, I'm right after all. Even this troublemaker agreed to the plan. He said, "A regular nursing home would cost about 100 yuan a year and be fine. There are cheaper ones for 80 yuan and more expensive ones for 200 yuan. I don't think it's necessary to be that good." But what Li Qiuxiang said next was not so nice and almost made Qi Zhifang angry.
Li Qiuxiang immediately shook her head, "No, no, no, this old lady was domineering and tyrannical when she was young. She raised her whole family on a shoestring budget, just to save a few bucks to help those good-for-nothing sons who messed around with women. She certainly got her fill of eye candy, but it ruined her health! Now that she's old and can't move, we, as her children, can't let her degrade herself any further. So we'll go to the best one, the one that costs 200." Everyone was shocked by this statement. Had Li Qiuxiang forgotten to take her medicine before leaving home?
Then the older sister smiled and said, "Let's count how many there are. Qi Zhijun's family, you wild man can barely count as one with Qi Zhifang, Wang Fang's family, Wang Hong's family, Wang Dong's family, that's forty yuan per family, am I right?"
No one could disagree with that! They could only remain silent. Li Qiuxiang nodded and said, "Silence means no objection. Okay, it's settled then, let's go!"
Xiao Hu stopped him, saying, "Since you put it that way, I have no objection. But why don't you give us the money as soon as possible so we can arrange for the elderly to go to a nursing home?"
Li Qiuxiang pointed at Qi Zhifang and said, "Go ask her for it! None of us saw a single penny of the money your leader gave her to raise her child back then. She's been saving it all up for this day! I've roughly calculated that it should last about three years. Come back to me when the money runs out! That's settled then. Don't ask us for the food coupons either. We don't want them. We'll keep them for my retirement!"
Then he said to Wang Dong and Wang Hong, "What are you standing there for? Go home, you have to go to work tomorrow!"
Qi Zhifang's face turned pale, and she said tremblingly, "What do you mean? There's nothing... " When she saw the way Xiao Hu was looking at her, she cried again.
Li Qiuxiang chuckled and said, "This afternoon, Donglaishun, hahaha, sorry, I was right next to you!"
"A rich guy who can spend 500 yuan in two days! You think you can't afford to send your mother to a nursing home?" He then looked at Xiao Hu, giving him a thumbs up. "You're really something! I admire you the most. If you had been born a few hundred years earlier, what would Chen Shimei have to do with this?! Even Emperor Gaozu of Han would have to bow down to you when it comes to abandoning his wife and children! Tsk tsk tsk! And you still have the nerve to stand here so righteously? With that kind of free time, if your parents are still alive, go back and fulfill your filial duties. If they're dead, go and repair their graves. Remember, filial piety is the most important virtue, or you'll be the first son of a bitch struck by lightning. Asking your mother for money? Where do you get the nerve!"
