"Give me anything! You're not allowed to give me anything! Second brother, don't you treat me like a brother, or Huihui and Sisi like your nieces?" Uncle Gu was displeased.
In his view, there's no such thing as giving money. The children are just helping out, and we're all family, so why should we give them money?
In his mind, it was acceptable for a brother's family to buy their daughter delicious food and beautiful clothes, and to add to her dowry when she got married, but to ask for money for doing something was considered too formal.
“Uncle, listen to me!” Cai Xiaolian tugged at Gu Shouxin, telling him to be quiet so she could speak. “Uncle, this shampoo and conditioner set was all made by the four sisters. Although Nian Nian invented it, she doesn’t have the energy to make so many things to sell all by herself! Huihui and Sisi don’t just do simple things like gathering pig feed or tending the vegetable garden for us like they used to. So, we absolutely have to give them the money.”
"No matter who it is, there has to be a reward for doing things, right? I discussed it with his father, and since all these things were done by the four sisters, the money will be distributed among the four sisters. His father and I will not take it."
“The four sisters had already reached an agreement on how to divide the money and how to divide the work when doing this. Huihui is not young anymore, and Sisi will be ten years old this winter. They are both sensible girls. We should let them decide their own money.”
“Uncle, this is the children’s own business. These are the girls’ own ways of making money. We adults can’t let them just put in the effort and not get anything in return, right?”
"Yes, yes, sister-in-law is absolutely right!" Zhang nodded repeatedly. It seemed that the second son's family was not just planning to pay wages!
"Second brother, sister-in-law, since you put it that way, why don't you just give the money to your parents and leave it there? Huihui and Sisi can just go to their grandparents for it when they need it! When they get married, they can take it all with them as their own money!" Uncle Gu pursed his lips, thought for a while, and said, "Father, Mother, could you please help us put the money away for our granddaughters?"
"Dad! There's no need to trouble your parents! We'll help you put it away." Zhang said anxiously, and then said to Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu, "Dad, Mom, you've worried your whole lives, it's time for you to enjoy your old age. Let me and your dad do it."
"No way!" Before the old couple could speak, Uncle Gu refused. "Daughter-in-law, don't think I don't know. You hide your money in your smelly shoes and socks. Our precious daughter smells nice now. Do you want them to hate the money because it smells bad, so you can hide it and use it yourself?"
"Dad! You, how could you..."
"Ahem, alright, let me say a few words!" Grandma Gu had almost finished eating, coughed twice, and looked at the eldest couple.
"Mom, you can keep eating! You really don't need to worry about it!" Zhang looked at Grandma Gu with a pitiful expression.
"We agreed last time that you'd take care of your son and I'd take care of my granddaughter. As for the money, forget about it. I know what you're up to! Let me tell you right now! You want to use Huihui and Sisi's hard-earned money? Dream on! Raise Enzi and Renzi properly and make them filial to you! Anyway, in your eyes, married daughters are like water spilled from a cup, so you shouldn't concern yourself with their affairs." Grandma Gu slammed her hand on the table, sealing her decision.
Zhang dared not say anything more, fearing that if she did, the old lady would not even let her take care of her grandson.
But then she thought, if she asks those two brats for money in the future, would they dare refuse?
Huihui would probably dare, but Sisi definitely wouldn't.
Okay, it's decided then!
