Mother Li's face was filled with enthusiasm as she watched with satisfaction as her precious daughter sat on her special new stool.
Then he withdrew his gaze and looked at the family sitting together. He felt a rare urge to cry.
Those children have grown up now.
Mother Li felt that she had done her best for her deceased husband, and she would not feel guilty even if they met in the afterlife.
These thoughts were fleeting, and when she saw her little daughter's happy smile, Mother Li immediately felt that everything was worth it.
After looking at her other children, Mother Li raised her chin and coughed lightly twice.
"Ahem."
“The main reason we gather here today is to talk about the recent major events in our family.
While the whole family is free, let's talk about some things openly and fairly.
So that you don’t say that I, as a mother, am biased. Besides, everyone has been very busy this year.
It's so hard to get together, so we should really talk about the right things."
Jiang You sat down with a flushed face, and stretched out his hand to harass Yuanyuan constantly.
Pulling and tugging at her body.
Sometimes he pinches someone's hairband, sometimes he pulls someone's clothes.
His bored look as he teased the dog angered Li's mother.
In front of the whole family, Li's mother slapped Jiang You on the head.
This made the other party grin and smile at Li's mother ingratiatingly.
"Mom, I'm listening. I haven't seen such beautiful clothes.
I'll take a good look and buy one for you and my sister-in-law.
She can’t be the only pretty one in this family.”
Mother Li retracted her angry eyes with satisfaction.
This caused Yuanyuan to snort in dissatisfaction.
Sister-in-law, mom even has one for my eldest sister, but she just doesn’t buy one for herself.
This damn second brother, has he forgotten that I am his boss behind the scenes!
Ignoring Yuanyuan's death ray, Jiang You curled the corners of his lips in satisfaction and stared at Li's mother intently.
It seemed as if he couldn't feel Yuanyuan's gaze at all.
Mother Li ignored the interruptions of her children playing.
He continued to be proud and began to prepare to praise his little girl's great achievements.
"You all know about what's going on at home.
Today I will mainly talk about Yuanyuan going to college.
Qinqin will follow Ah Xu to Hebei Province to attend university starting tomorrow.
I might not see them for a while, but I never have to worry about them.
Now Ah Xu has made some progress, and you can stay away from her mother-in-law.
The days ahead should be good.”
While they were talking, Jiang You and Yuanyuan had already started fighting.
Yuanyuan used a dog mouth attack, trying to bite off the other person's moving hand.
Jiang You, however, grabbed Yuanyuan's slightly chubby face.
He successfully used the advantage of his long and big hands to firmly control Yuanyuan's little face in his palms.
Make it impossible for the other party to bite you.
Mother Li watched as her little daughter was at a disadvantage.
He reached out and twisted the second brother's ear.
"You little bastard, are you crazy? I'm not dead yet! How dare you bully your sister? Let me go!"
Jiang You let go of Yuanyuan with a grimace, but Yuanyuan, who was now free, bit his arm.
Jiang You wanted to push the other person away, but was afraid that his sister would get hurt.
The double blow made the usually strong man unable to help but wail.
"Mom, do you care?! Didn't you say you're never partial? You treat everyone equally at home!"
When Li's mother saw that her daughter had the upper hand, she laughed out loud with joy.
After proudly letting go of the brat, Li's mother returned to her previous position and pretended she saw nothing.
He rubbed his fingers, which had turned red from exerting too much force, and continued speaking.
"Let's get back to the topic. Yuanyuan and Qinqin are both going to college.
Your eldest brother also brought good news. The day before yesterday, he officially became the production director of the machinery factory.
In the future, you will also be a cadre, and your eldest brother has been worrying about the family for so many years.
So starting from this month, your eldest brother doesn't have to hand over all of his salary.
They also need to have their own little lives, a big tree has many branches.
Your eldest brother has worked really hard for this family over the years, and he has been married for so many years but still has no children.
Now those of you who have graduated have graduated, those who have jobs have found jobs, and even Yuanyuan’s college education is supported by her own allowance.
As your mother, I have made the decision. From now on, your eldest brother will not have to pay money home.
Do you agree with this?"
The people sitting below all agreed with what they heard.
But I didn't expect that the only voice of opposition would be Jiang Xun.
"Mom, I don't agree!"
Mother Li’s eyes were rolling up to the sky.
She had a pretty good guess as to what her son was thinking.
Sure enough, the next words confirmed Li's mother's guess.
“Mom, I think not only should I not stop paying, I should make the whole family pay as well!
The second and third children are both working now. You raised us with great difficulty.
It's time for us, your children, to repay you.
Second and third brothers, I know it’s not easy for you to start working.
But it’s not easy for mom to raise us to this age!
If we don’t pay, how will Mom, a woman without a job, make a living?
The family does have some savings, but if something really happens, that little money won’t mean much.
No matter what you think, I still have to pay money home!
Because my mother will live with me in the future, and as long as she is around, she will be the one making the decisions in our home.
My dear, there is more to this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. It will be even more exciting later!
