The village chief's family also learned of this news.
In particular, the eldest daughter-in-law Wang Hui and the second daughter-in-law Wu He both thought of their younger brother-in-law, who also worked in the coal mine.
My mind was churning. How much money must Fu Hongxing earn in a month to make new shoes for every child?
Thinking about the ten yuan her brother-in-law brought home each month, the two of them couldn't help but feel uneasy.
When Tan Qingshan returned home, he saw the expressions on his two sisters-in-law's faces and remembered what he had heard about the Fu family from his younger sister Tan Xiaohuan. He was momentarily stunned, but then he immediately came to his senses.
After finishing her meal, Wu He couldn't help but glance at her brother-in-law before cautiously asking, "Qingshan, how much does Fu Hongxing earn a month?"
I remember he entered the coal mine a little later than you, didn't he?
Upon hearing his second daughter-in-law's words, Tan Dingguo and Xing Lanhua's expressions immediately changed.
That's really hurtful!
After the third son started working at the coal mine, he received a fixed 10 yuan per month. The remaining money was not enough to cover his food expenses at the mine.
He was a young man, at the age where he could eat his way out of poverty.
Now, not only do they have to do the hardest work in the coal mines, but they also take the extra money they save back home, leaving themselves to eat irregularly, sometimes full and sometimes hungry.
Even so, his second daughter-in-law still suspected him, believing that Tan Qingshan was hiding money from the public.
Such words are really hurtful. I just don't know if this is the eldest brother's idea or the second brother's idea.
Seeing Wang Hui tremble as she spoke, and knowing that Wu He had made things clear, she stood aside and silently shut her mouth.
Tan Qingshan never expected his second sister-in-law to say that.
He paused for a moment, then explained, "Brother Hongxing was a company commander in the army. After transferring from the army to work in the coal mine, he became a purchasing officer, so his salary was already high."
I work in the mine, and I haven't been officially hired yet. As an apprentice, I earn 18.6 yuan a month.
"Once I'm officially hired, my salary will increase."
Seeing her youngest son's calm explanation, Xing Lanhua felt a surge of anger rising within her.
"Don't think I don't know. You all think this job should be done by the eldest and second eldest, so you think it's only right that Qingshan gets 10 yuan a month."
Don't you realize that you all agreed to Qingshan taking this job?
Although Qingshan became a worker, working in the mine is never an easy job.
No matter how much money Fu Hongxing earns, that's due to his own abilities.
If you're envious, then let your men find a way to earn it.
Upon seeing Xing Lanhua's aggressive demeanor, Wu He, who had initially mustered her courage, immediately deflated.
He couldn't help but mutter, "I was just curious, that's why I asked!"
Xing Lanhua felt a lump in her throat when she heard Wu He's words.
Having been scolded by Xing Lanhua, Wu He and Wang Hui finished washing the dishes with their tails between their legs and could only dejectedly return to their room.
Wu He, in particular, felt very uncomfortable.
"Qinghe, do you think your mother is being too biased?"
They are all her sons, so why does she only think from the perspective of the third son?
And then there's the eldest sister-in-law, who looks honest but is actually quite cunning.
She told me about this while we were chatting.
Just before it was time to leave, I blurted out the question and got a severe scolding from my mother, while my sister-in-law got away scot-free.
At this point, Wu He spat angrily to the side, clearly indignant.
