"Chen Bingbing, you look so smart, how could you be so stupid?" Aunt Zhang Hua was so shocked that she couldn't find words to describe Chen Bing.
They were all old neighbors, and everyone knew that old lady Chen Ju favored her eldest and youngest sons, because she had three sons but only one daughter, so Chen Ju also favored her only daughter.
Only Qiao Laiwang, the second child, has been dull since childhood and has the least sense of existence in the Qiao family.
Over the years, Chen Ju has been secretly subsidizing the other three children, and the neighbors have seen it countless times.
Where did Chen Ju get the money to subsidize her other three children?
The neighbors were puzzled before, but now they understand.
I'm afraid that all of Qiao Laiwang's salary was used to subsidize the other three children.
"Your mother-in-law..." Aunt Zhang Hua sighed and shook her head, thinking that the old lady said she would help the young to save money, and other old ladies might really mean it.
But the money Chen Ju saved for Qiao Laiwang might have gone to other families.
Another neighbor also shook his head and said, "I was wondering, Lily has loved studying since last semester, why did she suddenly drop out of school?
When I asked Aunt Chen Ju about this, she actually said that Lily didn't like studying and didn't want to go to school, so she didn't register her. ”
Qiao Xinyi immediately said, "My mother also said that Qiao Baili has loved studying since she was young, and her grades are also very good."
Qiao Xinyi, who was known for her family's ugliness, was sensible and did not disturb everyone's cooking and eating, so she went back to the Qiao family.
As soon as she entered the door, a glass of water was thrown towards Qiao Xinyi, but she was prepared and dodged it in time.
"Grandma, please watch out as you pour the water. I still have a wound on my head. If it splashes on me, my wound will get inflamed and I'll have to spend my mom's money to go to the hospital." Qiao Xinyi patted her chest with a lingering fear.
"It's not easy for my mom to earn money. I can't let her waste money. Qiao Yunbai is still in school. If my mom has no money, Yunbai will have to drop out of school."
Xiao Shou had a loud voice, and Aunt Zhang Hua heard it and came over with a shovel.
"Aunt Chen Ju, you are unhappy and you are taking it out on a child who just came home the day before? You are getting more and more confused as you get older!"
"What's the matter? Are you angry that the kid accidentally told you something? You feel embarrassed, but don't worry about it."
"After one or two decades, I'm still afraid to tell you the result."
Aunt Zhang Hua pouted and looked at Qiao Laiwang, "You too, it's a relief that we neighbors think you're an honest and kind person. I never thought that a grown man like you would rely on your wife to support your family. I really have nothing to say to you,
Ask your mother to take out the salary book that you have saved for twenty years and show it to you. Half of the salary is reserved for you in the salary book. I have to say that Aunt Chen Ju really loves you as her son! ”
Qiao Xinyi simply applauded Aunt Zhang Hua!
She needs such an assist!
She announced, starting from today! She sincerely likes every morning glory!
"Zhang Hua, don't talk nonsense about our family. My mother said that the new daughter-in-law should not manage the family's money. She would subsidize her parents' family and spend money without knowing how to save. My mother came here and is used to being the head of the family. She can save money, so she helps me save my salary."
Of course Qiao Laiwang didn't believe Zhang Hua's instigation. He felt that he was the most filial among his brothers and sisters, and his neighbors often praised him.
Even his relatives praised him as the most filial among his brothers and sisters.
He provided for his mother's retirement and did not fight with his eldest brother for the old house. His mother lived with him, so it was impossible for her to use his salary to support other brothers.
"Yes! What does our family's business have to do with you, Zhang Hua? Why are you meddling in other people's business? You like to worry so much, why don't you go to the street office and worry about everyone else?"
Chen Ju felt a little guilty at first, but when she heard that her second son trusted her very much, she started to tremble again.
Qiao Yunbai stood at the door. He looked at Chen Ju and then at Qiao Laiwang, his biological father.
Still whispering, "Five years ago, my uncle and aunt came to my house to borrow money from my grandmother. They borrowed 500 yuan, saying they were buying a job for my cousin."
"Two days later, my uncle and aunt came too. They said it was inconvenient for them to go to work so they had to buy a bicycle. They came twice and borrowed 400 yuan."
"My aunt, uncle and uncle came last week and borrowed 300 yuan from grandma, saying they wanted to find a connection to help my cousin get a permanent job."
Qiao Laiwang looked towards his biological mother with great enthusiasm.
One for five hundred, one for four hundred, and one for three hundred. This month I spent twelve hundred.
The old lady gave her job to the third child, Qiao Dongmei, before she reached retirement age, so she did not have any pension.
Where did the twelve thousand that the old lady lent out come from? Isn’t all Qiao Laiwang’s money?
Qiao Yunbai continued, "Last summer, my uncle and my younger uncle borrowed another 200 yuan from my grandmother, saying that the weather was too hot and they wanted to buy a fan for the house."
Qiao Yunbai was unhappy when talking about this.
"We don't have any bicycles at home, but each of their families has at least two, and my uncle's family has four!"
"Isn't it hot in our house in the summer? But we don't even have an electric fan at home, but they have one in every room, even in the living room."
"Grandma told Dad this morning that it wasn't worth it for my eldest sister, a little girl, to go home and buy meat. Grandma took all the money and meat coupons that Mom gave Dad. When Dad went to work, Grandma immediately went out to the meat station and bought a pound of pork belly with Mom's money and meat coupons to send to my uncle."
A long time ago, perhaps because they thought Qiao Yunbai was too young, Qiao Yougen and his siblings did not force Chen Ju to ask for money.
But I didn't expect Qiao Yunbai to be precocious, or maybe because his family was not well off, so Qiao Yunbai only cared about money-related matters.
As long as Chen Ju showed the slightest sign of going to withdraw the money, Qiao Yunbai would not go to school, but would secretly hide outside the post office, waiting to see who Chen Ju would give the money to.
In the morning, after Chen Ju took away the money and meat tickets, she said she was going out. Qiao Yunbai became concerned and followed her quietly.
Over the years, Chen Ju is not as clear as Qiao Yunbai about where Qiao Laiwang's salary for the past twenty years has been spent.
Although Qiao Laiwang and his siblings said they were borrowing the money, they had no intention of paying it back.
Chen Ju had no intention of asking her children to pay back the money, so she never kept accounts.
But there was a palm-sized notebook in Qiao Yunbai's schoolbag that had been with him for several years, in which every penny he knew about was recorded.
For so many years, Qiao Yunbai never found a chance to talk about these things. He felt that if he didn't say it now, he probably wouldn't have the chance to say it in the future.
Qiao Yunbai ran back to his room, found the small notebook from the study and handed it to Chen Bing, "Mom, I wrote down everything I know here, but there are still many things I don't know."
Chen Bingbing had a wooden face and didn't show any intention of reaching out to take it. For her, she steeled her breath. She didn't care about Qiao Laiwang's money, nor did she want to care about it. She could support the child by herself.
Qiao Laiwang ran over quickly and snatched the notebook away.
