Jiang Yuzhu looked at the angry expression of Old Lady Xu and knew that Xu Lei's concealment of his salary had been discovered.
She felt something was wrong when she heard talking in the yard just now.
But there's nothing scary about her.
What does Xu Lei’s salary have to do with them?
Do you think that just because you know that his monthly salary is only more than 80 yuan, you should ask them to give more money to the family? Impossible!
"This is your son's business, why are you asking me?"
"Ask your son!"
Jiang Yuzhu ignored the old lady and went into the house to rest.
I didn't expect it to be discovered so quickly.
But what if they find out? If there’s a fight, the worst that can happen is we’ll split up.
As soon as the old lady saw Jiang Yuzhu's expression, she knew that she knew.
And the third brother gave all the money to Jiang Yuzhu.
Otherwise, with Jiang Yuzhu's temper, she would have made a fuss if she knew the third brother had hidden the money.
The fact that she is so calm now means that the money from the Third Brother has been handed over to her.
He is really her good son.
He had so much money, but he still tricked her into paying a 500 yuan betrothal gift.
He didn't give the money to his mother, but gave it all to his new wife.
The old lady was so angry that she slapped her thigh and said, "What a sin I have committed!"
"Mom... don't be angry, I'll pour you a glass of water." Xu Meili was very panicked when she saw the old lady like this.
Hurry and pour some water for the old lady.
"Beautiful, my daughter, I'm lucky I still have you, otherwise I would be pissed off to death by your brothers, each one more annoying than the other!"
"It's okay, Mom, you still have me." Xu Meili hugged Old Mrs. Xu and comforted her.
While Jiang Yuzhu was making the meat sauce, she had already prepared lunch. The dumpling soup she made, which included eggs, bok choy and tomatoes, was warming in the pot.
Last time, Jiang Yuzhu bought a set of pig offal, ate part of it, and braised the rest in sauce.
This way it won't break easily.
It’s convenient to take it out and cut it into a plate when eating.
When the Xu family came back, they felt that something was a little unusual today. Why was the yard so quiet?
"Old lady, we are back, let's have dinner."
"What are you eating? I'm so angry!" The old lady shouted when she saw the old man coming back.
"What's going on?"
"Who offended you?"
Aren’t things going well these days?
He saw that the old woman and the third son's wife were getting along better and better.
It is impossible for a daughter to make the old woman angry.
Then who else?
"Fourth son, have you made your mother angry again?" The old man turned his gaze to his eldest son.
There are only a few people in the family.
"Dad, I'm being unfairly accused. I...I've been working with you guys for most of the day. I didn't do anything, I didn't even go to the bathroom. How could I possibly come back and make Mom angry?"
"Not him."
"It's the good son you mentioned, Third Brother!"
Every time she talked about the third brother, the old man always defended him.
It's okay now.
What an ungrateful person he is. I raised him for nothing. He is hiding something from his mother.
Old Mrs. Xu was very angry.
The main thing is that she has been kept in the dark.
I have been hiding this from her for so many years.
So much money.
"Third brother?"
"What happened to the third brother? Isn't he doing well in the army?"
Mr. Xu smiled without taking it seriously.
This made Mrs. Xu even angrier.
"Your good son, do you know that he is now the battalion commander and how much is his salary?"
The old lady asked Mr. Xu.
"You...why are you asking this?"
"He's over eighty years old. What about this third brother? He's still hiding something from us. He gets so much salary every month. Where's the money?"
"Where did the money go?"
The old lady kept clapping her hands with her palms facing upwards.
The old man sighed, and this time he didn't smoke his pipe. Instead, he took out the cigarettes Xu Lei bought for him.
I lit one.
"Who told you that?"
"Humph, if Li Erlong from next door hadn't come over and confessed his love to Meili, saying his monthly salary was fifty-two yuan, I wouldn't have known that my son had deceived me for so long!"
"What?"
"Third brother... a month... so much allowance!"
"Mom, you have to take care of it. The third brother earns so much a month, and he's still haggling with us brothers and nephews. That's too much."
"We haven't split up the family business yet. Logically, the third brother's salary should be handed over in full. He's actually keeping it for himself. That's so unfair!"
More than eighty yuan a month.
My sister-in-law's eyes were red.
Eighty dollars a month, how much does that make in a year?
They work so hard and earn so little throughout the year.
In the end, only a little over a hundred yuan was left.
But the third brother earned that much in just one month.
The gap here made her feel very unbalanced.
Both brothers felt very uncomfortable.
The fact that my younger brother is hiding this from them shows that he doesn't trust them and is on guard against them.
"How much money Xu Lei makes has nothing to do with you?"
"How did he earn his money? He risked his life for it, paid for it with his own blood. Why should I tell you and give it to you to spend?"
"If you have any grievances, go and earn money yourself if you have the ability!"
"If you don't have the ability, then shut up and do your job."
Jiang Yuzhu was in the room, so how could she not hear what they said?
Since ancient times, people have been more concerned about inequality than scarcity.
What is fair? Is it fair only if Xu Lei’s salary is used to support the whole family?
That would be so unfair to Xu Lei.
Being a foster parent may be his responsibility and obligation.
But do we also have to take care of our brothers, sisters, nephews and nieces?
Ten dollars a month is good enough.
This is before the family is divided. If the family is divided, she won’t give a cent.
Live your own little life.
