And he asked her to get it herself. What an unfilial son!
Old Mrs. Shen found it funny and continued, "Then the seven hundred yuan, my old man and I have already given it to Jin Xi. It's your money, you take it."
"This..." Jiang Meilan was a little surprised. The old couple actually gave all the money to Jin Xi without asking for a penny? This is too honest and kind. Most people would take some labor fees.
"It is also the old man's credit that we took the things to the town to sell. The money should belong to the Shen family anyway. I feel bad that you gave it all to Jin Xi. Besides, Jin Xi and I are staying at the Shen's house now, so we should give them some money. We can't eat and drink for free." Jiang Meilan said, and asked Huo Jinxi to take out the money and handed half of it to Old Lady Shen.
"Old lady, please accept this money. If you don't, Jin Xi and I will feel bad!"
Old Mrs. Shen hesitated for a moment. Knowing Jiang Meilan's character, she knew that if she didn't accept the money, Jiang Meilan would always be thinking about it. So she had no choice but to take the money and then told her about the gold ingots.
Jiang Meilan couldn't believe it. Oh my God, a gold ingot was sold for more than 7,000 yuan. The Shen family is about to get out of poverty!
But she was not jealous. After all, she lived a wealthy life before the divorce. But what could she do? Her husband took the money and went to fool around with other women. So Jiang Meilan didn't care much about money now. She didn't need to be rich, as long as she could maintain her daily life.
But the Shen family was different. They were all kind-hearted and had been poor for so many years, so they deserved to live a good life. With several thousand yuan more, she was happy for them from the bottom of her heart.
How to spend these 7,000 yuan is a problem.
Old Mrs. Shen suggested, "Old man, why don't we find someone to renovate the house, buy some new furniture and paint the walls, otherwise it will be too shabby. It would be best if we install electric lights so that the kids won't hurt their eyes when they come home to do their homework."
Fubao took a bite of the food and suddenly said, "Grandma, how about we move to the county town to live with mom and dad?"
Old Mrs. Shen choked, "This..."
Although the house is shabby, the old couple has lived here for most of their lives and they are reluctant to give it up.
Old Lady Shen rubbed Fubao's little head and said patiently, "Nannan, it's not that grandma doesn't want you to live with your parents, it's just that buying a house in the county town is too expensive, and our family doesn't have that much money. Besides, if we move to the county town, what will happen to the crops? So, let's just make this house look good. Especially Nannan's house, grandma promises to have someone make it beautiful for you, okay?"
Fubao understood that his grandparents did not want to leave the hometown where they had lived for decades, so he nodded obediently.
She just mentioned it, there was no rush. The county town was not enough to impress the old couple. When the Shen family really got rich and they saw the big city, they might change their minds.
Then they talked about Shen Jianlin. Jiang Meilan's heart tightened when she heard it, and she hurried to comfort them, "Grandpa and grandma, it was just a child's dream, don't take it too seriously. Aren't we advocating materialism and breaking feudal superstition now? The loud speaker in the village is promoting it every day."
"We don't want to take it seriously, but you know what Fubao said is very accurate. So I feel uneasy. So tomorrow my old man and I have to go to the temple on the nearby mountain to pray for the blessings of the Buddha and Bodhisattvas, so that we can have peace of mind."
