"I... I certainly didn't mean that." Sheng Yanjun didn't expect Nanqiao to say that, and he subconsciously refuted. If this word were to spread to the village, he didn't know what others would say. Originally, the villagers had talked a lot about Sheng Yanchuan earning money to support his family. They said to his face that he had a good brother who could earn money for the family, but behind his back they scolded him for being incompetent and having to rely on his brother to marry a wife.
He knew all this, but these were facts and he couldn't refute them.
Although he acknowledged Sheng Yanchuan's support for the family, he was determined not to let the news of Nanqiao supporting the Sheng family spread.
"Oh, so what did Brother Sheng mean by what he said just now, that Sheng Yanchuan lives a carefree life and doesn't care about the lives of his family members? Is someone in the family dying? Is it Brother Sheng? Or Sister-in-law?"
"I think you look pretty energetic, right Yanchuan?" Nanqiao said as he looked at Sheng Yanchuan and asked with a hint of ridicule.
"You! What has your business to do with our brothers' affairs? If it weren't for you, how could there be these conflicts in our family? You even dare to curse us now. With someone like you, Sheng Yanchuan will divorce you sooner or later."
Sheng Yanjun said this in a panic, and Sheng Yanchuan immediately stood up and beat him up. No one can say that Nanqiao is bad, even the eldest brother has to be beaten first.
When Sheng Yanchuan stood up, Nanqiao held Sheng Yanchuan with her soft little hand.
Sheng Yanchuan looked back at Nanqiao, only to see the smile on the girl's face disappear. She looked at Sheng Yanjun and the other two with a cold face. He had tolerated the couple for a long time. She didn't know why the family split up before, and thought it was as simple as Sheng Yanchuan said. It was not until Li Zhuoran and Shen Nian told her the rumors in the village that she found out. At that time, she didn't expect that she might be involved.
"Brother Sheng, I call you Brother because you are Yan Chuan's brother. Do you really think that anyone can stand in front of me, Nan Qiao, and point fingers at me and accuse me?"
"Is the conflict in your family because of me?"
Nanqiao said with a sneer
"Is it because of me, or because you are incompetent and want to rely on your parents? You are greedy and have supported your brother so much that your family is starving to death. Now you can't survive and you have to slap yourself in the face. What qualifications do you have to come to me and accuse me?"
"Before you accuse me and Sheng Yanchuan, check your conscience first. Apart from being the big brother, what other qualifications do you have?"
Nanqiao said as he looked at Sheng Yanjun who was dejected, Huiping who was shrinking in the back, and Aunt Xiumei who was in a dilemma.
Nanqiao suddenly lost his mind and sat down on the couch again.
"Mom, I have no objection to what Yan Chuan just said. It is indeed you two elders who are in charge of the family. Just make the decision. There is no need to bring them here to inform us."
"I... I also want our family to live in harmony." Aunt Xiumei didn't expect that the originally planned trip would turn out like this. She didn't know what happened to her eldest son who usually spoke little and suddenly had such a bad temper.
"Well, but there are some things that we cannot control. If you are willing to let them go back and live with you, then live together. If you want them to take care of you in your old age, I have no objection. Sheng Yanchuan and I will still fulfill our obligation to support you."
"Qiaoqiao, that's not what I meant. I asked them to come..." Aunt Xiumei didn't know what to say halfway through. Indeed, whether it was the division of the family or asking them to move back, it was to inform Sheng Yanchuan.
"Mom, since you plan to let my eldest brother and his family take care of you in your old age, Qiaoqiao and I will give you 10 yuan a month for living expenses. I won't take the rest home. After all, Qiaoqiao is pregnant now, and I have to support the family," Sheng Yanchuan said, looking at Sheng Yanjun with a cold face.
10 yuan a month, 120 yuan a year, is indeed a considerable sum in the village. Every household may not be able to save a few dozen yuan after earning full work points a year.
But this was before. After seeing Sheng Yanchuan and Nanqiao's luxurious houses, the ten dollars in front of her seemed insignificant in Huiping's eyes.
"It's only 10 yuan. I'm afraid 10 yuan is not enough to pay for the coal in your house," Huiping muttered in the back.
"My sister-in-law has a high standard now. She always gives 200 yuan to her parents' home. We small households can't compare to her."
Hui Ping lowered her head even lower when she heard this, and Sheng Yanjun was also very embarrassed.
"No, you don't need to give money to your family, just live your life well." Aunt Xiumei waved her hand and refused to take the money.
"Mom, please keep this money. This is what I have to pay." Sheng Yanchuan took out a big unity note from his pocket and gave it to Aunt Xiumei.
The town's transport factory pays 45 yuan a month. In the past, I kept 5 yuan for myself and gave the rest to my family.
Now that he is married, he has to support his family. No one can say anything wrong if he gives his family 10 yuan and keeps the rest for himself.
As for more, Sheng Yanchuan has it, but he can't give it to me...If my eldest brother's family still can't be relied on in the future, he will take on the responsibility of providing for his parents in their old age, but he won't give more money now.
"Sister-in-law, I'm back"
Just as the atmosphere among them was becoming more and more awkward, Taohua's voice came from the yard.
"Hey, mom, brother, sister-in-law, you are here too."
"Hmm" Aunt Xiumei and Sheng Yanjun hummed and said nothing more.
Nanqiao asked, "Why did you come back this afternoon?"
"It's too cold these days. We can't stay in the classroom, so we're going to have winter vacation early." Taohua warmed her hands with the heater, took off her coat, and sat down next to Nanqiao.
"I haven't had time to cook yet. What do you want to eat? I'll ask your second brother to make it for you later." Nanqiao looked at Taohua and smiled tenderly.
"What happened at home?" Taohua realized that something was wrong at home. Her second brother loved her second sister-in-law very much. How could he not cook at this late hour? Her second sister-in-law would be hungry...
