"Aunt, please sit down first and listen to me." Qiao Youfu also stood up.
Qin Xue held onto the table and said, "Mom, don't worry. We know you didn't come here for the money because you feel bad for me and Zhuzi. Just listen to what Youfu has to say."
Seeing her trying to stand up tremblingly, Liao Fuzhen quickly helped her sit down and asked, "Why are you standing up? Your feet are so swollen."
Qiao Youfu said quickly, "Aunt, we know you feel bad for us not having any elders to help us, but I can't take advantage of you. Look at you, you are still helping with housework at your age."
Liao Fuzhen said, "What do you mean by 'taking advantage'? Isn't Zhuzi supported here? He is given cotton-padded clothes, shoes, school bags, tuition, pens, etc., and even food.
If Zhuzi had to rely on me and his grandfather, he wouldn't have such a good life. To be honest, it is our Xu family that will remember your kindness. ”
"Hello, Zhuzi. We are both happy. We don't think you are taking advantage of us. We are happy to be able to help you. We are just afraid that we are useless and can't help much."
Qiao Youfu sighed, "Aunt, I know you feel that you are a little sorry for Zhuzi returning to Xujiadong after being raised by my family. In fact, you don't have to think so. When we were discussing the marriage, you told me all the conditions, and I am happy with it.
Besides, even if Zhuzi goes back to Xujiadong, will he still call me dad? A truly filial child will be filial no matter if he has my surname or not, or where his father is. An unfilial child will still be unfilial even if he changes his surname or where his father is. ”
"Zhu Zi is very sensible and well behaved. You and Xiao Xue have taught him very well. I believe he is a grateful child."
Liao Fuzhen nodded, "Yes, my Zhuzi must be a good child."
Qiao Youfu continued, "I know you don't want to accept this money, but I still suggest you accept it, if not for anything else, just for Zhuzi."
Liao Fuzhen was stunned. It was because of Zhuzi that she felt that the money could not be accepted.
Qiao Youfu explained, "To be honest, if you help me out here, I can work outside with peace of mind. I can earn more than ten or twenty yuan, so don't refuse this money.
In the future, Zhuzi will return to Xujiadong, marry a wife, and renovate his house, all of which will require money.
You two are old now, and it will be Zhuzi's responsibility from now on. It will be for Zhuzi's good if you accept the money.
You know, I'm not young anymore, I'm almost 40, and the baby isn't even born yet. It'll cost a lot of money to raise the child. I can make some money now, but no one can say whether I can make more money in the future.
I'm not saying that I won't care if Zhuzi gets married and starts a family in the future, but by that time I'll be over 10 years old and the two younger ones will only be in their teens. I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of everything at that time.
So, auntie, don't be polite with me about this money. While I can still earn it now, just consider it as saving it for Zhuzi. ”
Liao Fuzhen opened her mouth and turned to look at Qin Xue.
Qin Xue nodded at her and said, "Mom, we really need your help, and we are willing to pay for it. Besides, Zhuzi is also our child, so he is just our left-handed child.
If you don't accept it, we will feel uneasy. ”
