Far away in Kyoto, Li Yueniang, who was receiving half of Su Yi's salary, immediately quit her job cleaning the streets and office toilets when she got home.
She's already in her late sixties, almost seventy, and she doesn't want to suffer like that.
She should live a few more years so that her children and grandchildren can take good care of things in Kyoto.
For the past few months, she has always been the first person to arrive at the military region's finance office on payday.
With this retirement money, she can eat and sleep well.
All I do when I'm bored is cause trouble for Su Yi and Qin Xiangxiang.
Not only did it annoy the two of them, but it also allowed them to occasionally get a free meal.
She felt happy every time she saw that couple suffering so much, looking like they were cross-eyed.
But if the two of them go too far, she will mediate and try to ease their tension, because she is afraid that they will really break up.
Basically, they're determined to make things difficult for them, yet they also won't let them separate.
I received a letter from my eldest son today.
Knowing that everything was settled over there, she was even more motivated.
Upon reading the latter half, the large section written by her daughter-in-law, Li Yueniang was furious.
The son and daughter-in-law could have simply gone to that small county town and settled down there.
If it weren't for that bitch Qin Xiangxiang reporting them to the Revolutionary Committee, they wouldn't have been intercepted halfway and suffered this ordeal.
Li Yueniang took out paper and pen and quickly began writing a reply.
Thinking that I hadn't written to my granddaughter in a long time, I took out another piece of paper and wrote her a letter, planning to send them together later.
After writing the reply, she took the letter from Su Changqing and went to cry to Su Yi without hesitation.
She understood what her daughter-in-law meant: she wanted money!
This isn't just her son and daughter-in-law; besides, she doesn't have any income.
Therefore, this money must be deducted from Su Yi's account.
As for where his money came from, that was none of her business.
After reading Su Changqing's letter, Su Yi immediately understood Li Yueniang's meaning.
"Didn't I already give you half a month's salary?"
Where would I get the money now?
"I have to support my family with my salary for half a month, but how can you spend all that money by yourself?"
You should know that his monthly salary is over 160 yuan.
Li Yueniang didn't even need to go through him; she directly received 83.7 yuan from the military region's finance department every month.
She also has a house in Kyoto, so she doesn't have to pay for accommodation. An old lady like her can spend more than eighty yuan a month.
Even if she ate meat every meal, she still couldn't swallow it.
Li Yueniang got angry when she saw Su Yi's questioning look.
Before she could even process what he said, his withered claws had already grabbed his short hair.
Slap, slap, slap! Three slaps landed on his head.
What's your attitude?
"Look at yourself, what kind of person are you?"
"You're still a division-level officer!"
"Who am I? I'm your wife and mother. Do you know how hard it was for me to raise you, changing your diapers and feeding you?"
Is this how you treat me?
"I bore your children and took care of your parents until they passed away, and this is how you treat me?"
"Shouldn't I take those eighty dollars?"
"Shouldn't it be a matter of course for you to support me?"
Su Yi shrank back, his face flushed, and shouted, "Let go! Let go of me!"
"Shrew, reckless."
"I hadn't even finished speaking when you hit me again!"
"I'm telling you, if you dare hit me again, I'm going to fight back!"
“I’m a shrew, I’m reckless. Let me tell you, Su Yi, if you dare to ignore Changqing, I’ll go find the chief of staff.”
"I didn't say I wouldn't take care of Changqing, I just asked about your salary."
"Could it be that you're not coming to me now to ask for money?"
"I'm asking you for money."
Su Yi clapped his hands. "Don't you know how much I make a month?"
"You've already taken half, so I only have 83 yuan left. You can spend your 83 yuan on yourself, but I have 83 yuan to support my whole family!"
"You're talking nonsense. Doesn't Qin Xiangxiang have her own salary? Why would she need to spend your money?"
"Does Su Meifang and Su Chang'an not get paid? They're both so old, do they still need you to support them?"
"I already calculated it for you."
“You only have a housekeeper at home, and the military region also provides subsidies. After deducting the monthly allowances you give to your comrades, you should still have at least twenty or thirty yuan left!”
"This is now. Before, when I wasn't taking your salary, could you spend all of your 150 or 160 yuan a month?"
Su Yi was getting impatient with Li Yueniang.
"How come I didn't have any other expenses? Just the last two months, Meifang was dating, and Chang'an and Jin Dongjin were in the army. Didn't I need to make some arrangements?"
Li Yueniang pouted and hit Su Yi on the head with another shovel.
"Well, you surnamed Su, I've seen through you now. You really do have a stepfather just like a stepmother."
"So all you're doing now, going around in circles and calculating the bills, is it just that you don't want to pay?"
"So Su Meifang and Su Chang'an are your children, but Changqing isn't your biological son?"
"Your sons are all quite successful, poor Changqing."
