Chapter 467: Money Blindness
Chen Kexin was so angry that she fell backwards. This was really a case of a dog biting Lu Dongbin and not appreciating the kindness of the person.
Helping others but making mistakes?
She looked at Sister Meihua, eager to know her attitude.
If Zhao Meihua is also so unreasonable, then I am mentally retarded and blind, and I would rather not have this friend.
At this moment, Zhao Meihua, who was in low spirits, looked at her mother-in-law like an angry female beast, and said in a loud voice: "She is my friend and is thinking about me. You have lived in vain at such an old age. What nonsense are you talking about?"
When Chen Kexin heard this, she felt as happy as if she was eating a popsicle in the hottest days of summer.
Sister Meihua is so awesome!
There is nothing wrong with my vision!
Grandma Xiaoliang curled her lips in disdain and said, "Humph, I'm doing this for your own good!"
Zhao Meihua said sarcastically, "You keep saying you're doing this for my own good, but what are you really thinking? Aren't you just after Xiaoliang's child support?"
This statement hits the nail on the head and goes straight to the heart of the issue.
Others may not know, but Zhao Meihua knows that the two boys from her uncle's family are older than Xiaoliang and are quite unreasonable. Every time Xiaoliang goes back home, he is bullied by his two cousins.
Not only did they snatch Xiaoliang's toys and food, they also beat and scolded Xiaoliang.
Xiaoliang was taken back to his hometown, and his fate was predictable.
Ever since she found out that the two little rascals were spoiled beyond measure and were doing whatever they wanted, Zhao Meihua had been extremely careful whenever she returned to her hometown and never let her children leave her side, thus bringing a brief period of peace.
Otherwise, why would she let her mother-in-law come to the staff quarters to take care of Xiaoliang.
Of course, she also promised to give her mother-in-law 20 yuan a month.
Thinking of this, she said firmly: "Mom, you can leave if you want, but Xiaoliang can never go with you."
Xiaoliang's grandmother insisted, "Meihua, are you stupid? Why did you give the money to someone else to look after your child? I am the child's grandmother. Besides, the air in the countryside is fresh. How can I not take good care of Xiaoliang?"
Zhao Meihua snorted coldly, "The market price for hiring someone to look after a child is ten yuan, but it will cost twenty yuan for you to take care of Xiaoliang. Forget it. Besides, your two precious grandchildren often bully Xiaoliang. You know that, don't you?"
Xiaoliang's grandmother was embarrassed for a moment, then said angrily: "Meihua, how can you talk like that? I'm just worried that you'll spend money recklessly, so I want to save some money for Xiaoliang. Fighting between children is nothing, how can it be considered bullying?"
Everyone present knew that the old man's words were nice, but he was selfish and biased.
Chen Kexin thought of what happened just now and replied sarcastically, "So the old lady gets paid for taking care of her grandson? Twenty yuan is higher than the salary of an apprentice. No wonder the old lady is not satisfied with the entire pension and wants to take the child away. It's obvious that she can't bear to give up the salary."
Xiaoliang's grandmother felt a critical hit of 10,000 points and immediately felt humiliated.
He looked at Chen Kexin with hatred and shouted, "We don't need an outsider like you to get involved in our family affairs."
"If the road is not right, someone will correct it; if things are not right, someone will take care of them. Don't take advantage of your age."
Xiaoliang's grandmother blushed and cursed: "How dare you..."
Gao Yunyi was worried that the old man might get angry, so he tried to smooth things over, "Old man, Comrade Chen is outspoken, please don't get angry."
Someone spoke up for her. Xiaoliang's grandmother, who had been devastated, quickly regained her composure and took the opportunity to say, "Director Gao, listen to what she said. My son's body is still warm, and an outsider is bullying me like this... wuwu..."
Xiao Liang, nestled in his mother's arms, saw his grandmother making a fuss, and his little brows immediately frowned and said, "Mom, I'm hungry..."
Chen Kexin touched the hair of the awesome little guy with a smile on her face and said, "Auntie Chen just made some porridge. I'll bring it to Xiaoliang right away."
"good!"
Everyone in the room left, leaving only Sister Gao and Dong Li.
Dong Li hurriedly said, "Sister, I'll go get the bowl with you."
Xiaoliang's grandmother was interrupted by her grandson's inspiration and stopped acting.
Sister Gao was worried that the old man would make trouble again and not leave, so she said to Chen Kexin who was serving the porridge, "You guys eat, I'll go home and eat later."
The porridge contained water from the source stream, which has a nourishing effect on the human body. Chen Kexin patiently advised: "Don't be polite, Sister Gao. I made a lot of porridge. Have a bowl of porridge to fill your stomach."
Zhao Meihua said sincerely: "Sister Gao, you have been running around for my family's affairs today. It would be a waste if we can't drink all this porridge. Please don't be polite."
Sister Gao then nodded and said, "Okay, I'll drink one bowl then."
Grandma Xiaoliang glanced at Chen Kexin with a gloomy face. She wanted to say something but didn't, so she swallowed it back.
Chen Kexin understood what she wanted to say and felt amused. She was just a fool who was blinded by money.
When the porridge was served, the fragrance immediately spread.
Although several people had no appetite, when they drank the porridge, they found it sweet, soft and refreshing.
The side dishes are just the right amount of salty and light.
Of course, Chen Kexin also added ingredients to the side dishes.
Chen Kexin, Dong Li and others only drank one bowl each.
Xiaoliang drank two bowls, and Xiaoliang's grandmother drank three bowls.
Although they cooked a lot of porridge, because there were so many people and Xiaoliang and his grandchildren drank a lot, the porridge and side dishes were quickly gone.
After the meal, Chen Kexin took out ten yuan and handed it to Zhao Meihua, saying, "Sister-in-law, I went to the kitchen to cook just now, and Auntie said that we have to pay for the meal. This is the meal money for the three of us."
She just wanted to slap Sister Meihua in the face and let her see the true face of her mother-in-law.
Of course, the meal money she promised should be given to Sister Meihua. The old lady was dreaming of making a little money.
Zhao Meihua drank a bowl of porridge and felt her cloudy head clearer.
Hearing this, she looked at her mother-in-law with dissatisfaction and asked, "Mom, how could you do this? They are my best friends, and Sister Gao is busy with our affairs. Do you have a conscience?"
After a moment of embarrassment, Xiaoliang's grandmother stiffened her neck and said, "I don't care. We bought all the food and oil with our own money. Why should we give it to outsiders? If you don't want it, I will!"
Everyone understood that the last sentence was what she really wanted to say.
Zhao Meihua said with a headache: "Mom, it's getting late, you should go to bed. Don't you want to go back tomorrow?"
Grandma Xiaoliang looked at the money in her daughter-in-law's hand unwillingly and said, "Okay, I'll go and have a rest then."
Seeing her mother-in-law leave, Zhao Meihua handed the ten yuan in her hand to Chen Kexin and said, "Sister, please don't mind. My mother-in-law is just like that. Keep the money."
Chen Kexin said sincerely, "Sister Meihua, she is she and you are you. If you mind, I would have left long ago. This money is not for meals. It's for Xiaoliang. I said that just now to slap him in the face."
Originally, Chen Kexin wanted to give Zhao Meihua fifty yuan, but then she thought about the fact that Dong Li and Sister Gao were present. What would they do if she gave them so much?
Sister Meihua is an orphan and a widow, so I don't need to rush to support them.
Hearing her say this, Sister Gao and Dong Li each took out ten yuan.
Zhao Meihua was humble for a while, then accepted the thirty yuan with gratitude on her face.
Sister Gao stood up and said, "I should go back now. You sisters should accompany Sister Meihua."
Chen Kexin and Dong Li nodded.
The moment Sister Gao opened the door, she heard a familiar cry of "Ouch..." and someone fell to the ground.
