Aunt Liu wasn't going to fall down, but she was tripped by Zhang Hui's outstretched foot and fell hard on her butt.
"Ouch! It hurts so much! Zhou Lin, you are so bold that you actually dared to push me! Zhang Hui, pull me up. If I don't beat this unfilial son down today, I will not be named Liu!" Aunt Liu was furious and struggled to stand up from the ground with a red face.
Zhang Hui also pulled her mother-in-law up with all her strength, but before Aunt Liu could straighten her back, she felt a sharp pain in her tailbone, as if a steel needle had pierced her. The pain went up along the tailbone and directly to her head. Aunt Liu couldn't even straighten her back.
"Zhang Hui, look, did I get the needle?" Aunt Liu said as she touched her butt, but felt nothing.
"Mom, stop pretending. You've used this method several times. I won't give in this time, so get out of my room right now!" Zhou Lin thought her mother was pretending to be sick again, so she waved her hands impatiently at Aunt Liu, signaling her to stop pretending.
"Mom, walk straight, don't stick your butt up." Zhang Hui saw that Aunt Liu's posture was too ugly. How could you walk with your butt up in the air?
"Me! My butt hurts so much, it must be broken! I also want to stand up, but the pain is unbearable." Aunt Liu tried to stand up again, but another sharp pain came, and she was sweating profusely in pain.
Zhou Lin also noticed that her mother was acting strange. She usually didn't pretend to be sick so convincingly. Zhou Lin quickly went to her mother's side to check on her.
"Get out of my way! Stop pretending to be distressed here! Zhang Hui, help me go back to the house and lie down for a while!" When Aunt Liu saw Zhou Lin coming to care about her, she started scolding him.
...
...
"Okay! I won't pretend. From today on, we won't care about each other!" Zhou Lin felt that whatever she did to her mother was wrong, so she just ignored it! Since her mother could walk, it should be just a temporary injury. She would probably be fine after lying down for a while.
"Zhang Hui, see this. This is the daughter I raised with great difficulty. From now on, I won't count on her anymore. I will count on you." Aunt Liu said as she held Zhang Hui's hand and went back to the house with Zhang Hui's support.
"Mom, lie down and rest for a while." Zhang Hui helped Aunt Liu lie down on the bed. She poured a cup of hot water and brought it to Aunt Liu.
Aunt Liu was touched by Zhang Hui's concern for her. She pulled Zhang Hui to her side and whispered to her, "Zhang Hui, there is some pocket money Zhou Lin gave me in my cupboard. Take 20 yuan and buy yourself some nice clothes."
"Mom, that's the money your sister-in-law gave you, just keep it." Zhang Hui declined.
"Just take it if mom asks you to. I'll ask Zhou Lin for money when I run out of money! She earns so much but can't spend it all. It's a bargain for her to live in our house and let her pay for her food and accommodation." Aunt Liu urged Zhang Hui to get the money quickly.
"Then I'll go get it." Zhang Hui hesitated and opened the cupboard awkwardly, then took out twenty yuan according to Aunt Liu's instructions.
"Mom, how much does Zhou Lin give to the family every month?" Zhang Hui asked curiously.
"It's not fixed. She doesn't pay on her own initiative, so I ask her for it. It should be at least a hundred or eighty yuan a month. She doesn't keep accounts anyway. I just ask her for it when I remember it." Aunt Liu said proudly, feeling that what she was doing was very honorable.
"Oh, that's more than what Zhou Xuan earns in a month." Zhang Hui's eyes lit up when she heard that it was a few dozen yuan a month. It seemed that the old lady had saved a lot of money.
"No, let me tell you. Zhou Lin is rich! When you are out of money in the future, come to me and I will give you pocket money." Aunt Liu tried her best to win over Zhang Hui, wanting her to serve her and take care of her in her old age.
"Okay! Mom, you are so good to me!" Zhang Hui is very good at coaxing people. She hugged Aunt Liu and shook her vigorously to show her intimacy.
"Ouch, your butt hurts, stop shaking. Hurry and keep the money. Don't say it was given to you by me." Aunt Liu instructed.
"By the way, Mom, since you have dozens of yuan in pocket money a month, why don't you let Zhou Xuan hand over the 15 yuan salary. This way we will be more well-off. I'm thinking of saving some money to buy you a gift for the New Year." Zhang Hui took the opportunity to talk to Aunt Liu about handing over the salary.
"This..." Aunt Liu didn't expect Zhang Hui to say that.
"Mom, think about it, the money Zhou Xuan handed in was finally given to me as pocket money. Doesn't this mean we didn't hand it in? Then why make so much trouble?" Zhang Hui continued to persuade.
"Okay! Then we won't let Zhou Xuan pay."
Seeing Aunt Liu relax, Zhang Hui was even happier. She immediately stood up and said, "Mom, you fell today and you're not feeling well. Let me cook for everyone!"
"Thank you for your hard work!" Aunt Liu was very surprised that Zhang Huineng would take the initiative to do housework.
Zhang Hui happily left the house with the money. As soon as she left her mother-in-law's house, she saw Zhou Lin lingering at the door.
"Mom, are you okay?" Zhou Lin pulled Zhang Hui and asked.
"It should be fine. Do you have anything else to say? If not, I'm going to buy groceries." Zhang Hui looked at Zhou Lin, who seemed to be hesitant to speak, and thought that she must have something to say.
"Zhang Hui, help me close the door. I don't want to see certain people!" Aunt Liu heard Zhou Lin and Zhang Hui talking at the door, so she asked Zhang Hui to close the door of her room.
Seeing that her mother was so annoyed with her, Zhou Lin simply decided not to go into the house. Zhou Lin took out fifty yuan from her pocket and gave it to Zhang Hui, saying, "Buy her some food for Mom these two days."
"Why don't you buy it yourself? It's so much money, I can't afford to compensate you if I lose it." Zhang Hui frowned when she saw the money in Zhou Lin's hand.
"Mom doesn't want to hear my voice now, and I don't want to see her. Sister-in-law, please do me a favor. I don't want the money left over from shopping. Please buy some food for Zhou Zhou and Xiaohu." Zhou Lin stuffed the money to Zhang Hui and went out.
Zhang Hui looked at the fifty yuan in her hand, and then touched the twenty yuan given by her mother-in-law in her pocket, and she was overjoyed. What a good day today is, it made her so rich!
Zhou Lin went out and happened to see Ye Li going out as well. The two of them walked out of the courtyard together and headed towards the factory.
"Zhou Lin, this is for you."
Ye Li suddenly stopped halfway, took out an envelope and handed it to Zhou Lin.
"Sister Ye Li...this is the medical expenses for Brother Jiang. Why are you..." Zhou Lin was stunned. She didn't expect Ye Li to return the envelope to her.
"You can secretly put the money in the fruit and take it back. I appreciate the kindness."
Seeing Ye Li say this, Zhou Lin no longer refused. She took the envelope and put it in her bag.
"Sister Ye Li, after the dormitory building of our factory is completed, please reserve a single room for me." Zhou Lin suddenly looked up at Ye Li, tears glistening in her eyes.
