"Alright, you decide what to do. There's only so much silver at home. Take most of it with you when you leave. Copy books whenever you have time on the road, okay? You're the only one in the family who can earn money."
"I know."
Zhao Dawen thought to himself that he was having a miserable time, copying books every day until he had calluses, but he couldn't spend a single penny of it.
For the sake of their child, he and Wang lived frugally, not daring to live a good life even though they could. They didn't know if it was worth it. If their son was filial, that would be fine, but if he wasn't, he felt like strangling them.
Do you think our son will be filial to us in the future?
"Of course they will. They're not like the big pillars. Our kids are great. We've raised them very well over the years."
Zhao Dawen nodded; he also felt that his own child seemed more reliable than his second son's. The reason he wasn't at ease, however, was because of himself.
He used to seem filial, sensible, and reliable, but he never really intended to take good care of his parents. He just used them as a stepping stone and a source of his own money.
Inside Erzhuzi's house, the young woman closed the door as soon as she got home.
"Honey, what kind of gift do you think Uncle San's family will give our child?"
Erzhuzi said he didn't know either, "They probably won't give too much; Uncle San's family is actually quite stingy."
Really? Why doesn't she think they're stingy?
"I think my third uncle and third aunt are great."
Erzhuzi quickly got up to look outside the door, and after finding no one there, he closed the door again.
"Never say this in our house, especially not in front of Mom and Dad, understand?"
"Do you think I'm stupid?"
It's obvious to anyone how her in-laws treat her third uncle's family. Actually, she thinks the reason her in-laws dislike her third uncle's family so much is because of jealousy and envy.
To put it bluntly, they're petty and can't stand seeing others do well. They're doing well but won't help them.
Pshaw, they don't owe them anything, why should they?
The young woman handed the child to her husband and took two boxes out of her bosom.
The box given by the Song family was larger, while Xiaoyu's was relatively smaller.
Erzhuzi stared intently at the box...
The box was opened, and the two of them exclaimed in surprise at the same time, then covered their mouths simultaneously.
"I told you my third uncle's family are good people. If you say they're stingy again, I'll turn on you immediately."
"I was wrong, I was wrong."
The main problem is that their family has never been generous to them in recent years.
"You're the best wife. They must like you to give you such a big gift. Look at your parents, they never get anything from you."
Erzhuzi was smug, holding his daughter without stopping him from crossing his legs. When his wife gave birth to their daughter, his mother had a stern face. In his opinion, their daughter was more valuable than his wife.
He should listen to his wife more from now on, because listening to his wife will bring him wealth.
The young woman took out the silver bracelets from the box. Both boxes contained silver bracelets, a total of two pairs, or four bracelets.
"My lord, it feels quite heavy."
The woman carefully touched the silver bracelet, saying, "This is the first time I've ever seen silver in my life."
"Look at you, so useless. I saw my father taking money when I was a child and went to school."
The woman glared at him, "Your father didn't give us any money when we divided the family property!"
Erzhuzi shut up.
"These two pairs of bracelets must be worth a lot of money, right?"
"Of course, you'd better hide well, there's a thief in our house."
