"reasonable."
Yang Wanwan answered very quickly, without even having to think.
Nian Meili hummed in agreement. "Since you also think it makes sense, shouldn't we do something about it?"
"certainly."
This time, Yang Wanwan answered without hesitation as always.
"Then tell me, what are you going to do?"
Yang Wanwan smiled and said, "Grandpa and Grandma are so good to my siblings and me, so I will definitely be filial to them. I don't think you need to remind me of this, sister-in-law. We always bring them the best food. I know that this is not enough to repay Grandpa and Grandma, but we will continue to do so in the future."
That's all?
"Of course! Is there anything else?"
"So, your grandparents have given you several thousand yuan in subsidies over the years, and you're planning to repay them with just a few bowls of rice?"
Yang Wanwan blinked. "Sister-in-law, did you see Grandpa and Grandma give us several thousand yuan with your own eyes? When did they give it to us? Where did they give it to us? How come I had no idea!"
Yang Wanwan's blunt question immediately enraged Nian Meili. "Do I need to see it with my own eyes? Didn't your tuition fees over the past few years come from your grandparents?"
"Our tuition fees were all left by my parents! My parents earned a lot of money back then, which is why they were able to build such a nice house! Leaving a few thousand yuan for us siblings is no problem!"
Nian Meili said, "Your parents were in a car accident back then, and they spent a lot of money on treatment, I heard it cost almost ten thousand yuan, but they couldn't be saved in the end. Your third uncle said it himself, that ten thousand yuan was almost all the money your family had, leaving only two or three thousand yuan. How could there be any money left for you and your siblings to go to school? In the past five years, let alone more, your tuition fees must have been two or three thousand yuan, right? Where did this money come from? If it wasn't for your grandparents' subsidies, did it fall from the sky? Do you think we're all fools?"
The story of Yang Jinqiang and his wife being in a car accident during the 2016 Meilishuo event is indeed true.
At the time, Yang Jinqiang was still conscious and told Yang Dali and Yang Youneng where the money in their house was. There was a total of more than 10,000 yuan. After the rescue of the couple and the funeral arrangements, there were only about 2,000 or 3,000 yuan left.
Since even the driver died, naturally no one offered compensation.
Upon hearing this, Yang Wanwan's eyes turned cold. She coldly scanned the people in the room without saying a word.
Since she remained silent, Nian Meili became smug: "What I said was all right, wasn't it! Wanwan has nothing to say now!"
Grandma Yang said, "Meili, what you're saying is too strange. How could your grandfather and I possibly have that much money?"
Cao Xinchun said, "Meili didn't mean anything else. It's just that we didn't want all the money you've saved; it's all your retirement money. Meili means that Wanwan and her brother have grown up. Since their grandparents have taken care of them for so many years, they should know how to be grateful. Now that they're grown up, they shouldn't cause you two any more trouble."
Nian Meili hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, Grandpa and Grandma. I was just thinking that Wanwan and her brother are all grown up now and should be sensible. They shouldn't worry Grandpa and Grandma anymore. Grandpa and Grandma are almost seventy years old and should be able to enjoy their retirement. Other people's elderly people are already living a comfortable life at this age, but you are still farming so many fields and doing so much work. Our family doesn't need your concern, and neither does your second uncle's family. If Wanwan and her brother were more sensible and didn't need your concern, you could also enjoy your old age in peace."
This wasn't an exaggeration; in fact, it was quite filial. Everyone present praised Nian Meili for being very filial.
Grandma Yang said, "Isn't this how all rural people live? They don't have to worry about anything."
Grandma Yang had always been afraid of Cao Xinchun and Maodouhua, and dared not say anything strong. This was the most angry thing she could say.
As soon as she said that, she immediately attracted the attention of Cao Xinchun and Maodouhua, and Grandma Yang involuntarily shrank her neck.
Yang Wanwan stood side by side with Grandma Yang, took Grandma Yang's hand, and asked, "Sister-in-law, I'm just stupid, but you're a smart person. What do you think we should do?"
Nian Meili smiled smugly and said, "Since Wanwan wants to study hard, your sister-in-law will tell you directly because you're so dedicated. There are only a few months left until the New Year, so you shouldn't go to school anymore. Go out and work; your education is enough. Speaking of which, I started working in the first year of junior high, so you've already done well enough to finish junior high. If you really care about your grandparents, take Erye with you to work too. What's the point of girls studying so much? The sooner you start working, the sooner you earn money, don't you think? Also, if you want to be filial to your grandparents, you have to show some real action, not just talk the talk, right?"
Cao Xinchun also said, "Yes, Wanwan, your sister-in-law is doing this all for your own good. In four or five years, Wanwan will be of marriageable age. If you get married then, you can't just marry into the family with nothing, right? Your in-laws will look down on you. You should at least save up some dowry for yourself. Am I right?"
They really went to great lengths to get the siblings to drop out of school and start working.
They spoke in a high-sounding manner, and no one thought they had done anything wrong.
At that time, there were so many girls going out to work that no one would find it inappropriate for the siblings to go out to work.
That's perfectly normal!
First, Yang Wanwan and Er Ye went to work, and Shang Tao was left alone at home, so he definitely needed someone to take care of him. Cao Xinchun could then move in without any problem.
Wasn't it like this in my past life?
First, Yang Wanwan went out to work, and a few months later, Er Ye came along.
After Erye left, Cao Xinchun quickly found an excuse to move in.
Inviting a god is easy, but sending him away is difficult. After Cao Xinchun moved in, he acted as if he were the head of the third household, giving unsolicited advice on everything, living in whichever room he wanted, and doing whatever he wanted.
Later, Shang Tao also left, and the third house became Cao Xinchun's domain. She even arranged for her relatives to stay at Yang Wanwan's house and rented out two rooms.
They lived in the best house in Fuxing Reservoir Village without spending a penny.
Grandma Yang mustered her courage and met Cao Xinchun and Maodouhua's cold gazes, saying, "We've already paid for this semester's tuition. It's not too late to talk about it after Wanwan finishes her studies. There's no rush for these few months."
Nian Meili said, "Grandma's words make sense. It depends on what Wanwan and her brother plan to do. If they are truly filial, they should go out to work as soon as possible to earn more money and be able to support their grandparents sooner. If they don't want to be filial, they can never work and let their grandparents support them. I have nothing to say about that."
Shang Tao pouted, "My two older sisters don't work. We support ourselves and earn our own tuition fees."
