Previous Chapter Contents Next Chapter

Since Mr. She is still next door supporting his youngest grandson who is being scolded by his eldest son and grandson, there are only Mrs. She and their other two grandchildren in his family now.

Their grandchildren are the eldest son and youngest daughter of their second son. They were sent back to their grandparents' home to attend elementary school by their parents who had to work from dawn to dusk for business and had no time to take care of them.

Because of this incident, She Fenggang often made a fuss with Mr. She and Mrs. She, but Mr. She never sent the two children back to his youngest son as he requested.

She Fenggang, whose demands were not met, was increasingly displeased with his nephews and nieces. He was unwilling to see that only his younger brother could take advantage of his elderly parents, so he would even go to Grandpa She's house every day, rummage through their cupboards, eat their food, and drink their wine.

Mr. and Mrs. She were very angry at his rogue behavior. It was not that they felt sorry for the things their daughter and granddaughter gave them as filial piety, but they were angry at their son's greed, laziness, and lack of brotherhood.

Mei Zhijun had been hiding at Old Lady She's place until She Yufen came to call him and Mei Yali over for dinner. As they were walking on the dirt road in the village, he whispered to She Yufen, "How did you make the quarrel come about?"

She Yufen's face was not looking good. "I couldn't convince them. Grandpa said he would give money to Yujie when she goes to school."

Mei Zhijun stroked his chin and looked at She Yufen, "Grandpa probably doesn't have much money, but he's still supporting two children from my uncle's family."

After a pause, he said, "Why don't we add some too?"

She Yufen nodded, "I think so too. But I have to go back and calculate how much money our family can come up with."

Mei Zhijun smiled and said, "At least we can come up with a few thousand or eight hundred, which is enough for Yujie to spend for a whole semester."

She Yufen also laughed, "Fortunately you are a person who values kinship. If you were like Yali's uncle, Yujie wouldn't be able to continue studying."

Mei Zhijun looked at She Yufen with a helpless look, "You said it as if you wouldn't support your brother if I didn't agree."

She Yufen glanced at him and said, "How can it be the same? If we quarrel over this, how will you let Yujie spend the money?"

At this point, she couldn't help but complain about She Fenggang, "Dad has been reluctant to give Yujie money in the past two years. If mom hadn't saved some money, Yujie would have starved to death in school."

Mei Zhijun couldn't help but look curious when he heard this, "So Yujie's living expenses in the past two years were all given by her mother."

"Not at all. She didn't eat any of the eggs she saved. Every time she went to the market, she would carry a basket of eggs to sell. She would also sell the chickens, pigs, sheep, grain and other things at home. If Dad and Big Brother were not around, she would secretly keep a hundred or eighty yuan for herself."

Mei Yali had also heard She Yufen and Wang Xiulan talk about these things in her previous life.

In addition to reporting less when selling, Wang Xiulan would also report more when buying.

By using this method of "harming the public interest and enriching herself", she was able to secretly save a lot of private money every year.

Of course, she did not spend the private money on herself, nor did she take it back to support her parents' home.
