As soon as I got home, I complained to Lin Ying, "My eldest brother and his wife proposed to go to the old house to celebrate the New Year with the third brother's family this year, but the dishes we brought were all vegetarian, and we were scolded by the third brother's family, and my mother was not happy either.
I guess my brother came to us to buy a chicken, or wanted me to catch one for him for free. But when I was not there, he went to Uncle Mazi's and bought a rooster for three dollars.
I heard that my mother scolded Uncle Mazi for this matter, saying that he was crazy about money. Uncle Mazi mocked her, saying that if you can't afford chicken, you don't have to eat it. No one is forcing you. It's a transaction that is consensual, but why is there so much trouble? If I had known, I wouldn't have sold it.
You know my mom is very proud. She was ridiculed like this on New Year's Day. She was so angry that she felt dizzy. This morning, she kept making a fuss about going to the hospital and asked Uncle Mazi to pay her. The captain couldn't stand it anymore and asked the eldest brother and the third brother to take care of my mom. "
Lin Ying was stunned. "What a mess! The old lady is really capable of doing this! But aren't the eldest and his wife the most concerned about their reputation? How could they make such a big mistake at the New Year's Eve dinner? This is not like the eldest sister-in-law's style!"
Xu Dahai pulled the corner of his mouth and said indifferently: "I heard that he is saving money and wants to buy a house in the city so that Ajie can go to the city to study. For the sake of his son's future, what does face matter?"
Lin Ying was speechless, curled her lips and said: "The eldest couple are really calculating. Fortunately, we have severed our relationship with the old house. In the future, we only need to give them some pension money and we won't get involved in other matters."
Xu Dahai nodded.
In order to avoid being approached by the old family and also for the sake of their youngest daughter, the couple stayed in the village for more than three hours before leaving.
In the evening, Xu Dashan and his brother came to look for someone, but they came back empty-handed. After asking, they found out that Xu Dahai and his family had left again.
Xu Dashan was completely furious now. "Is the second son rushing to be someone else's son-in-law? He doesn't even want the family anymore! He is determined not to care about our mother's life or death!"
Xu Dachuan was indignant, "It's probably all his wife's fault. My second brother would never be like this before! Look at my second sister-in-law! She thinks she's great just because her family has some money. What did she do to her?"
Xu Dashan let out a long breath, put his hands on his hips and said, "No! The second son has to pay for Mom's medical treatment and medicine! He can't hide away!"
The two brothers held their breath and went to the captain for help.
The captain really didn't want to deal with these trivial matters during the New Year. Besides, Xu Dahai was a good person and occasionally gave him some small favors, so he was more biased towards Xu Dahai in his heart.
"I think you two brothers are quite interesting! You never think of the sea when it comes to good things, but you immediately think of him when it comes to spending money! It was agreed at the beginning that he would share the cost of supporting the elderly with you equally. He didn't take the old man's house or land, so there is no reason for him to pay for the old man's medical treatment and medicine, right!
If he paid this money, it would be equivalent to paying the same pension money as you. Do you want to share the wealth you got from the old man with Dahai?"
When Xu Dachuan heard this, he immediately got furious. "Why? Those things belong to my parents. They can give them to whoever they want."
The captain shrugged, "We also owed a note when we broke up. Dahai doesn't need to pay for the medical expenses. Unless the old man gets sick and spends a lot of money in the hospital, he only needs to pay a small amount. The big part will have to be shared by you brothers. It's no use for you to come to me for this matter."
Xu Dachuan was unwilling to accept it. "Captain, my second brother has the help of his father-in-law. His life is much better than ours. Why shouldn't he pay this money?"
The captain laughed angrily, "You also said that Dahai was helped by his father-in-law. What is the relationship between his father-in-law and your family? To put it bluntly, the Lin family helped Dahai because of Lin Ying. How did your family treat Lin Ying? Do you need me to help you recall it?"
The two brothers were scolded and went back with gloomy faces.
Wang Fengying was furious when she learned that Wang Ximei spent eight yuan on medical treatment, and that the eight yuan had to be shared equally by her family and the third brother's family, while the second brother did not have to pay a penny.
She would complain to everyone she met in the village, saying that Xu Dahai and Lin Ying were too serious and ignored the kindness of the old man who raised them, and that they were cold-blooded. In short, she said everything.
Some people really believed it, while others were sober and helped Lin Ying to argue that Wang Ximei was biased and asked Wang Fengying to give half of what she had obtained to Lin Ying.
Wang Fengying was already angry, and as she spoke she started arguing with the other person.
The argument became more and more intense, and if the villagers hadn't stopped them, they would probably have started fighting.
Lin Ying and his wife had no idea about all this. Early in the morning on the second day of the New Year, they packed their luggage and took a bus to the city.
It was almost noon when they arrived at Nanyu.
Lin Yi and Lin Qin prepared a sumptuous lunch early in the morning to entertain the guests.
At the dinner table, Lin Qin brought up the matter of Xu Jian and Xu Kang taking special classes again.
This time, Lin Yi did not mention the expense or anything like that. Instead, he looked at his two grandsons seriously and asked, "What do you want to learn?"
Xu Jian replied loudly: "Saxophone, Teacher Bai told me about it before. I tried it and it was fun."
Xu Kang bowed his head weakly, "Grandpa, can I not learn?"
"no!"
Lin Yi and Lin Ying said in unison.
The little guy suddenly wilted.
Lin Yi smiled, "That's it, then. Ajian will learn that thing, and Akang will write. I hope his handwriting will be better in the future. I have a headache just looking at his poor handwriting this year."
"Hahahaha" several adults laughed wildly.
Lin Yi added: "Since the children have all gone to study, starting this year, I will pay for their specialty classes. You don't have to worry about it."
Lin Ying looked at Lin Qin in shock, "Little sister, you really are very good at predicting things!"
Lin Qin raised her eyebrows proudly, "Dad! We are grateful to you! How about you also give me the living expenses for school?"
Lin Yi immediately covered his pocket and said, "Go away, you are the richest person in the family, stop thinking about my little money!"
"Dad! You are too partial! Am I not your most beloved daughter?" Lin Qin continued to fight for her shamelessly.
Lin Yi ran away with his two little grandsons.
The atmosphere became even better after she made such a fuss.
Although Lin Ying and his wife didn't say anything, they thanked Lin Yi and Lin Qin from the bottom of their hearts.
The couple stayed in Nanyu for three days, helping with a lot of work, and only returned to Pingxi Town when it was almost time to open the store.
The two sons stayed in Nanyu directly, so they didn’t have to be sent here every few days.
Chen Wenjun started to get busy on the third day of the New Year.
After Lin Ying's family left, Lin Qin had free time again. She exercised with the children in the gym for a few days, but felt really bored, so she took some things to find Bai Junjun and settle the accounts from the New Year with her.
She didn't know where Bai Junjun's home was, but she knew where Bai Linlin lived.
When Bai Linlin saw her coming, she thought she had come to wish her a happy new year, but it turned out that she was looking for her to ask about Bai Junjun.
Bai Linlin immediately felt jealous, "If it wasn't for looking for Junjun, you wouldn't have thought of me!"
Lin Qin quickly put down the New Year gift, "How could that be! I still need to find you to enroll my child in a class!" (End of this chapter)
