Gong Ruini and the others plan to send so money back to the Gong Family before the end of the year.
Although they’ve already sent retirent funds, now that Gong Dajiang is bedridden and needs care, with Gong Tao’s family far away in the Northeast and unable to return to fulfill filial duties, sending money is better.
Although sending money might just make Zhao Lan angry since she wants Cai ina to take her child back to work as a nanny, to care for Gong Dajiang, and others.
However, once Gong Tao’s money is sent back, how will Zhang Lan broach the subject? With their ager earnings, if Cai ina takes two kids back with no grain supply, won’t they consu the family’s resources?
Supporting their family of three requires money, and since Gong Tao isn’t financially well-off, Zhang Lan thinks why bother supporting Gong Tao’s wife and children?
Better to send so money back, so they didn’t dwell on these issues afterward.
Zhang Lan believes she hasn’t leaked this matter, but she forgot there’s not only a troubleso son but also a troubleso grandson, Gong Xiaoyu, who impatiently ntions every ti soone asks why he doesn’t care for Gong Dajiang, how Zhang Lan planned to call Cai ina back to care, etc.
This talk from Gong Xiaoyu certainly represents Zhang Lan’s intentions; how wouldn’t it spread quickly?
Upon hearing this, Cai Ming’s friends promptly tell Cai Ming about it, causing Gong Tao and the others to feel lucky yet disdainful toward Zhang Lan.
Even though there are three daughters-in-law back ho, asking none of them to care for Gong Dajiang and instead planning for Cai ina to return is truly disgusting.
Cai ina responded nonchalantly, treating it like spending money for peace of mind, moreover, Gong Dajiang’s condition is deteriorating, and the money won’t be sent for many years, making Cai ina not angry upon reconsideration.
What bothers Cai ina is the Cai Family expecting her to send them money, making Cai ina feel helpless.
Cai Ming looked at the letter in his hand, "Does brother-in-law know?"
"You think he’s unaware?" The Cai Family suddenly sent a letter after long silence, clearly indicating an issue has arisen, "Dad and the others don’t act without gain, if there’s no advantage, wouldn’t write if not expecting money?"
Having been here for a year and a half, Cai ina could count the letters from the Cai Family and even recount each letter’s content.
"Ran out of money, huh? They’ve sent several letters already, which I’ve ignored." Cai Ming cold-heartedly replied, "Constantly asking if you’re managing well."
"Also asking if I’ve gone hunting or have surplus grain."
Ah, asking younger brother if there’s grain, "They wouldn’t expect you to mail grain back, would they?"
Despite increased production in past years, grain supplies rise while contributions remain high, no reductions seen, so grain divisions remain low, though money slightly increased.
Initially, they didn’t care about Cai Ming’s wedding affairs; how could they shalessly request him to send grain? Shouldn’t he eat?
Mail grain? Sister is too kind-hearted; for the Cai Family, so long as they live comfortably, others’ well-being doesn’t matter, even if the other is another son.
"They asked to sell grain and mail them money."
Sell grain? Then mail money back? "What will you eat?" Wouldn’t they expect Cai Ming to sell grain on the black market?
That’s no joke; though Cai ina and the others haven’t sold grain on the black market, they know grain prices rise rapidly, posing great risks.
Seeing his sister’s concerned expression, sotis you must brutally shatter the little illusions, "They specifically advised that grain prices are high on the black market, asking to sell there."
"They claim to sell grain on the black market often, saying it’s 5 cents a pound." Cai Ming doesn’t know if they’re bluffing, but selling their grain would an starvation.
Know that everyone in the city has limited grain; without substantial als, the little grain isn’t enough, and so not enough to eat, how could they sell grain?
Is this humane? Cai ina could explode in anger, "They don’t realize such actions would ruin you."
No wonder those two families can connive together; they share too many similarities, willing to do anything for their favored sons, not caring about others’ survival.
"No, don’t entertain them; recently people selling grain on the black market got caught." It’s unclear why there’s increased crackdowns on the black market.
Cai ina lost count of the incidents; once caught, consequences are public humiliation or forced labor.
"I won’t be foolish; why give them money?" Of course, the money would be for his brother’s leisurely life; not being foolish, he won’t indulge them.
"Since sister-in-law got pregnant again and had another child, she quit the factory, always on sick leave; how much can she earn?" Cai Ming knew his sister-in-law, "She expects Brother to beco like Gong Qiang."
"Probably they’re envious of you giving twenty yuan annually to the Gong Family." Their parents are such people, seeking money from children, treating sons and daughters equally.
Envious of this? Gong Ruini overheard and was dumbfounded; if jealous of even this, soone in the Cai Family must resemble Gong Dajiang.
No way, even if paralyzed, how could a daughter send that much money with sons around—just wondering if the painstakingly planning son, Cai Guoqing, would care for them well?
"Sis, don’t mind what parents say; just stay firm." Cai Ming continuously advises Cai ina.
Brother-in-law, Cai Ming knows, doesn’t want to spend this money, nor does the Gong Family, though due to public opinion, they do spend; the Cai Family, however, is a different matter, they don’t have to pay.
Cai ina was dumbfounded; does she look foolish? "I won’t give them money, rest assured."
Given the younger brother’s reluctance to work, she won’t pay, does she easily earn money?
Do they know how much effort they put into earning this money with their couple and two kids?
Ni Zi, such a little girl, even got tanned; Cai ina feels utmost pity.
Why should their hard-earned money go to those expecting to gain without working?
Despite dissatisfaction, she still has to read the letters; not reading wouldn’t bother her, but reading fills Cai ina with rage.
No way, what did they write to anger sister so much?
Cai Ming genuinely worried his sister might vent too harshly.
