Chapter 138: Elderly Care - The Sick Young Aunt Eats Watermelons in the Courtyard
Lin Qing carefully told her mother some gossip in the courtyard.
"I never thought your yard is so lively!"
"Yes, yes!" Lin Qing nodded.
"Oh, oh, by the way, Mom and Dad, I almost forgot to tell you that Lin Shu also has a job."
"Oh, didn't she fail the exam?" Mother Lin remembered that this was what her daughter told her the last time she came back!
"Yes! She did not pass the exam, but somehow she got a job as a colleague at the Women's Federation."
"What's going on?"
"I don't know much about it either. I just know that she was busy for several days, leaving home early and returning late every day, and then she got a job two days ago!"
"Is that so? Anyway, you don't have to care about her or whose connections she follows!" Lin's mother felt that ever since Lin Shu spoke up to snatch her daughter's marriage, she felt that she was becoming more and more evil.
"Yes, don't bother with her." Father Lin heard from his wife that the last time he went to see his young lady, the granddaughter Lin Shu pretended not to see his wife, the grandmother. Since she doesn't respect his wife, why bother with her.
"I didn't want to care about her, but she seemed to be showing off after getting a job. She even came up to me and tried to lecture me."
"She is just a junior, and she wants to lecture you?" Lin's mother was unhappy when she heard this.
How dare Lin Shu, a junior, go to the elders and preach?
"Don't worry, Mom, I won't listen to you! I even talked her back!"
"You should fight back. Really, he is so disrespectful. He is a junior and wants to lecture you, an elder. How has Zhang Mei taught you all these years?" Mother Lin was becoming more and more dissatisfied with her granddaughter, Lin Shu.
"Oh, mom, don't be angry! I didn't say this to make you angry. I just wanted to share my happiness with you. Let's talk about something else."
In order to make his mother happy, Lin Qing told Lin Shu about Aunt Jiang's request for salary.
"She deserves it! She was the one who wanted to snatch this marriage away. She has done something wrong and now she has to bear the consequences." Ever since Lin's mother found out that Jiang Yang's mother was the murderer, she has been very glad that her daughter did not go on a blind date.
Now she is even more thankful. Mother Lin said thankfully: "Oh, you are married to Xiao Cen. Xiao Cen's parents are not here. There are no elders to oppress you two. You can live a much more comfortable life now."
"Yes, yes! I am living a very comfortable life! Hehehe!"
"You!" Seeing her happy look, Lin's mother couldn't help but pinch her little nose.
"Mom~" Lin Qing sneered and tried to avoid it!
Father Lin just stood by and watched the mother and daughter making a fuss, smiling.
Life is so good now!
The girl has also found a good home, and her health seems to be getting better and better!
Lin Qing happily spent a day at home with his parents and returned to the compound the next afternoon.
"Xiao Lin, are you back from your mother's house?" Aunt Li was chatting in the yard and happened to see Lin Qing walking into the yard.
"Yes, mom!" Lin Qing replied.
"Oh, your parents really love you. Every time you go back to their home, they bring back a lot of bags." Aunt Su said suddenly.
But after she finished speaking, she glanced at Aunt Jiang and said, "Oh, by the way, Aunt Jiang, isn't your second son's wife Lin Qing's niece? Why didn't she bring back any bags?"
Aunt Jiang gritted her teeth in anger. She also wanted to know why there were such big differences among the Lin family.
Lin Qing would not allow Aunt Su to slander her parents. "Aunt Su, you don't know this, right? My parents have already separated from my eldest brother and his family!"
So what Lin Shu's parents prepared for her to bring back had nothing to do with her parents.
???
What? Split up the family?
Aunt Li and the others were quite surprised.
Aunt Li asked with a puzzled look in her eyes: "I remember that your parents only had you and your eldest brother as children!"
"Yeah! So what?"
Aunt Su didn't expect things to turn out like this. "Then don't your parents need your brother and sister-in-law to support them in their old age?" Aunt Su shouted until her voice broke.
Lin Qing couldn't help but sneer, "My brother and sister-in-law? They have only paid for my parents' food expenses over the years, but I haven't seen them give any pension money. It's a pipe dream to expect them to support me in my old age!"
She would not cover up for Lin Shu's parents. Since they moved out, they have never come back to see her parents and have never given them a penny for their retirement. The two old people now rely on her father's salary to live.
Of course her father's salary is more than enough to support two people. After all, he used to support three people. Now that she is married, supporting two people is certainly not a problem!
So she guessed that her eldest brother felt that her father's salary was enough for his and his mother to live on, so he had no intention of giving them any pension.
"Raise a son to take care of you in your old age, raise a son to take care of you in your old age. If this son you raised is no longer useful, then just kick him out! Anyway, my parents still have me as their daughter!"
"Then you are also a married woman!" Aunt Su said again.
"So what if I'm married? My parents are still my parents, so are they just ignored? Anyway, compared to them, I'm definitely more filial than my brother and sister-in-law!"
She would give one third of her monthly salary to her parents. After all, her family had little savings due to her health over the years, and she was afraid that her parents would not have enough money in their pockets when they needed it urgently.
Of course, her parents didn't agree at first, but Lin Qing persuaded them to agree.
In fact, they were very happy about the filial piety of their daughter, but they were afraid that their son-in-law Cen Xi would be unhappy. In the end, it was only after Lin Qing asked Cen Xi to explain it to her parents in person that her parents happily accepted it.
"So, are you going to support your parents in their old age?"
"That's for sure!" Lin Qing answered without hesitation.
Aunt Li is really jealous of Lin's father and mother for having such a daughter. Although her child seems fine now, who knows what will happen in the future?
Lin Qing, a married daughter, still wants to support her parents in their old age, which shows that she is extremely filial. But on the other hand, it can also directly illustrate how unfilial Lin Shu's parents, that is, Lin Qing's brother and sister-in-law, are. Otherwise, why would they need a married daughter to support her parents in their old age?
Aunt Su and Aunt Jiang were somewhat shocked by Lin Qing. There were really few married ladies who vowed to support their parents in their natal family, especially when there were other brothers in the family. Lin Qing was the first one they had ever seen.
