Wang Xiaoting was furious when she learned what Li's mother had done.
"No wonder Mom didn't invite you to eat with us. So that's why. If it were me, I wouldn't want to talk to your mom either. How could she do such a thing?"
Wang Xiaoting complained, "Now look what happened, I didn't get the money, and I've gotten myself into all this trouble."
"No wonder she didn't say anything when she came back. Turns out she lost 1,500 yuan. That's so much money. It would take me three or four years of working to save up 1,500 yuan, and your mother just lost it like that." It makes me so angry just thinking about it.
Li Aiguo listened without saying a word.
Li's mother, with her two children, stayed in her room, pretending to be mute.
Wang Xiaoting realized this was the first time she had learned who He Tingchuan's parents were.
Even after retirement, they still have connections.
Following them will definitely be a good thing.
Unfortunately, it was all ruined by Li's mother.
Wang Xiaoting doesn't want to see Li's mother right now: "Aiguo, Mom is always getting into conflicts with people in the family compound, and now she's offended Nian Gao's mother. I don't think she's suitable to stay in the family compound. Why don't you send her and her two younger siblings back to their hometown?"
Upon hearing this, Li Aiguo frowned: "My mother has gone back. Who will take care of our two children?"
Wang Xiaoting had already thought it through: "I can have my mom come over. She's not talkative and doesn't like interacting with others, so she'll definitely be fine taking care of the child and won't cause us any trouble."
Li Aiguo was unhappy.
Wang Xiaoting kept saying things in Li's mother's ear, saying this was bad and that was bad, that this person in the compound had a problem with Li's mother, and that person had a problem with Li's mother.
He also privately talked to Li's mother, saying that the two children were growing up, the house was only so big, and the younger siblings should have their own space. They said that things were just like this at the station, so it would be better to go back to their hometown.
It was said that Li's mother went back to her hometown and gave her thirty yuan a month for living expenses.
I send gifts back home during holidays and visit them whenever I have time.
Li's mother refused: "I've been away for many years, and my old house is gone. I have nowhere to live."
“Let Aiguo pay for your house construction. Aimei can also help you make money.” Wang Xiaoting calculated: “If she can come up with 1,500, she can come up with another 1,500.”
"Besides, Aimee is also your daughter. Beijing is much better than the local area. She is a doctor. If you take your younger siblings to Beijing, they will be Beijing residents after they settle down."
Li's mother was tempted, but dared not take action.
Knowing that Li Aimei's daughter already harbors resentment towards her mother.
If that 1,500 yuan hadn't been lost, not only would the daughter-in-law have kicked her out, but she could have used the money to go back to her hometown and build a house.
It's not that we don't have money.
What can you do with 30 yuan a month?
Her son earns over a hundred yuan a month, but she only gives him thirty. That's like feeding a beggar!
Seeing that her daughter-in-law wanted to send her away, Li's mother refused and used the excuse of taking care of her grandchildren.
Wang Xiaoting said, "I can send them to a daycare center where there are people who take care of the children. It's fine to leave the children there. I can't always make things difficult for Mom. You're getting old, you should take good care of yourself."
Li's mother almost spat in her face, never expecting that the other woman would be even more ruthless than she was.
Li's mother said, "I'm fine with going back to my hometown to retire, as long as you give me fifty yuan a month for retirement. My younger brother and sister also need to be supported by Aiguo. Ten yuan a month for each of them isn't too much, is it?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Xiaoting immediately spent 70 yuan.
Li Aiguo earns 127.5 yuan a month, gives 70 yuan to his mother, leaving his family of four with only 57.5 yuan.
Adding her own salary of fifty yuan, it only amounts to 107.5.
Wang Xiaoting was definitely unhappy about losing so much money all at once.
"How can Mom spend so much money by herself?" Wang Xiaoting advised, "How about giving us 50 yuan in total? We also have to raise children. Mom, you know it's not easy to raise two children."
Li's mother wouldn't budge an inch: "I won't go back to my hometown to retire until I get seventy yuan. We'll go back to our hometown when you give me seventy yuan."
Wang Xiaoting was reluctant to spend so much money, so she privately approached Yun Jin and said, "Sister-in-law, could you call Aimei? I want to talk to her for a few minutes."
"I don't know her phone number. You should write her a letter if you need anything!" Yun Jin wasn't going to be fooled.
Li Aimei has already severed ties with her mother, and she will not allow anyone to disturb Li Aimei's peaceful life anymore.
Wang Xiaoting noticed Yun Jin's wariness and explained, "It's nothing else, it's just that my mother-in-law is thinking of going back to her hometown to retire, so I just wanted to let her know."
"What are you saying? Do you want her to also bear the cost of retirement?" Yun Jin blurted out.
Wang Xiaoting smiled awkwardly: "She is also my mother-in-law's daughter, so it's only right that she contributes some money to support her in her old age."
"If I remember correctly, she bought off the mother-daughter relationship for a thousand yuan, so she's no longer considered your mother-in-law's daughter." Yun Jin looked at Wang Xiaoting with a calm gaze: "Don't go too far. If you try to take all the benefits, you might not be able to handle it."
Wang Xiaoting retorted angrily, "It's just a phone call, it's not like I'm asking my sister-in-law to pay. Can't I pay for it myself?"
"Then go ahead and hit me!" Yun Jin provoked.
Wang Xiaoting asked bluntly, without any hint of asking for help, as if Yun Jin was obligated to tell her: "What's the phone number?"
"......"
Just as Wang Xiaoting was marveling at how easy it was to pronounce a Beijing phone number, Yun Jin continued, "...Go up the mountain to fight the tiger. The tiger doesn't eat people, it only bites the black-hearted!"
Wang Xiaoting: "......"
Wang Xiaoting left with a grim expression after failing to get a phone number. When asked, she rambled on and on, saying she wanted to call Li Aimei, but Yun Jin wouldn't give her the number, and her tone was reproachful.
