Chapter 188 Questioning - The Sickly Young Girl Eating Watermelons in the Courtyard
Lin Qing just found out the big secret and returned to the compound in a daze.
"Um?"
Lin Qing looked at Lin Shu who was holding her, her face full of surprise. How did she dance in front of her again?
Lin Shu looked at the doubtful expression on Lin Qing's face, and thinking of what her mother said today, she asked angrily, "Aunt, why don't you let my parents go back to my grandma's house?"
Lin Qing paused, "What did you say? I don't want your parents to come home?"
"Yes, my mother told me that when he and my father came back to my grandma's house last week, you stopped them from coming in!"
Lin Qing sneered, "Ha! Did your parents say that?"
"Yes, my mother said so!"
"Well...did your mother say why she didn't let them in?"
Lin Shu paused. Her parents didn't say anything about this. She looked at Lin Qing's expression. He seemed very confident, which made her hesitant.
Lin Qing didn't want to hear her answer. He glanced around and found that many people were watching the excitement!
"Your parents are going back empty-handed, are they going to come back and eat free meals with your grandma?"
"I……"
Lin Qing didn't wait for her to say anything, and continued, "For so many years, your parents have only paid for your food expenses, and have not paid for other retirement expenses at all. Don't you see how old your grandparents are? They have never received any retirement expenses from your parents. How dare your parents go back home empty-handed and eat for free?"
Lin Shu's face brightened and then turned pale. She knew a little about what happened in the past, but she felt that her parents were her grandfather's son and daughter-in-law, so what was wrong with going back for a meal?
Although Lin Shu didn't say these words out loud, Lin Qing could tell what she meant by the expression on her face. "Are you trying to say that it's okay for your parents to eat your grandparents?"
Lin Qing looked at her intently, "Then you are totally wrong. First of all, we didn't prepare meals for your parents. If they stay, we will have to pay more money and food. For your grandparents, it will be an unnecessary expense. Their income is not high to begin with. If they get sick in the future, it may be because of the extra money here and there."
"Aren't you and your uncle-in-law paid very high salaries?" Lin Shu blurted out.
Lin Qing smiled. Since you are shameless, don't blame others for not giving you face. "You are really interesting. Your parents, as the eldest son and daughter-in-law, have not done their best to support the elderly. They actually want me, a married daughter, to come. How dare you mention this in front of me?"
"I, no...my parents..." Lin Shu wanted to say how could her parents not support the elderly, but the fact was that they had never fulfilled their obligation to support the elderly.
"Don't talk so much in front of me. I will respect my parents, but if your parents haven't fulfilled their obligation to support you, don't even think about taking advantage of your grandparents."
After listening to this, Lin Shu asked again, "Aunt, do you really give grandpa and grandma one-third of their salary every month as retirement allowance?"
Lin Qing raised his eyebrows. Isn't this something he knows very clearly?
"So what if it is? So what if it isn't?"
Lin Shu's eyes were complicated, "Then can you please not give it to me?"
Lin Qing was amused by her words. "What nonsense are you talking about? Whether I give it or not is my business. Do you still want to interfere with me?"
Lin Shu's words came as a big shock to the other people in the compound who were watching the excitement. They didn't expect that Lin Qing actually gave money to her parents every month!
This shocked them greatly. Lin Qing, a married girl, actually gave pension money to her parents. This shocked several mothers-in-law in the compound. If it was their daughter-in-law, they would definitely not agree to it no matter what!
"Then why do you have to give it? Just because you give it every month, my mom also asks me to give it."
Lin Qing understood now. It turned out that when Zhang Mei came to Lin Shu to complain, she also asked her to pay them maintenance money!
No wonder Lin Shu specifically blocked her here, it turned out that her interests were affected!
Lin Qing couldn't help but laugh in his heart. He wondered if Lin Shu could handle his own mother if she could handle her mother-in-law.
"That's your own business, what does it have to do with me? I will give it to you if I want to, why do you care so much?" Lin Qing didn't care about that. She was happy to give money to her parents for their retirement, and that was her filial piety. She would not stop just because of a few words.
Lin Shu had a headache. Today, her mother came to her specially and first complained to her about Lin Qing not letting them in. Then she said that Lin Qing gave her grandparents money to raise their children. Then she began to hint that she should do as she was told. However, Lin Shu pretended not to understand. But she couldn't help but realize that Zhang Mei was her biological mother, so how could she not understand what she meant?
Seeing this, she pointed out directly, "Your aunt has given it, so you, the younger generation, have to follow suit. It doesn't make sense that other girls have money for old-age care, but mine doesn't. You don't want others to say that you are not as good as your aunt, right?" With the last sentence, Zhang Mei directly controlled Lin Shu.
Lin Shu and Lin Qing grew up together. What Lin Shu hated to hear the most was that she didn't give in to Lin Qing, so after being provoked by Zhang Mei, she agreed.
But after agreeing, she regretted it after Zhang Mei left, so she waited here for Lin Qing specifically, wanting her to give up supporting Lin's father and mother with money.
Since her mother insisted that she and Lin Qing learn it, if she could change Lin Qing's mind, then she wouldn't have to follow suit, right?
"Your mother didn't say that as long as I gave your grandma money for living, you have to give it to them, right?" Lin Qing looked at Lin Shu and directly told him Zhang Mei's intention.
Lin Qing thought about it and it seemed that it was not impossible. That person, who was selfish and liked to take advantage, how could he miss the opportunity to fleece the married girl?
"Aunt, you already know everything, so can you..."
Lin Qing refused directly, "Impossible, I'm not as heartless as your parents. Besides, why should I give your grandpa money for old-age care? Isn't it because your parents are doing nothing and haven't fulfilled their obligation to provide for your grandpa?"
"But……"
"Don't say anything more. I won't listen to you." Lin Qing didn't want to talk to her anymore, so he just bypassed her and went home.
Lin Shu stood there with a distressed look on his face, watching Lin Qing's back as he walked into the house, feeling extremely angry.
"Mom, mom, let me tell you something!" Mrs. Jiang, who was eavesdropping at the window, walked into the inner room and said to Mrs. Jiang who was lying on the bed.
"What's the matter?" Aunt Jiang looked at her eldest daughter-in-law and said impatiently.
