604: Chapter 605 Sister Like Mother 22_1 604: Chapter 605 Sister Like Mother 22_1 How could Huang Xin be expected to work in the fields?
He was only interested in the money from selling the grain.
“Mom, look.” Huang Xin turned to Zhao i, hoping she would step in.
Why would Zhao i speak up?
This girl claid she wouldn’t bother with family matters and was thoroughly against doing any housework.
A person who doesn’t even do housework, how could she be expected to work in the fields?
“You know I’m unwell and can’t work in the fields, why don’t you give it a try?” Zhao i understood what Huang Xin ant, he simply disagreed with renting out the land.
Since he was reluctant to do so, let him do the work.
Zhao i certainly didn’t have any reservations now.
It couldn’t be that she spared her son from labor only to end up doing the work herself.
Ah, Zhao i was unwilling to do the work, so how could Huang Xin be willing?
“Mom, didn’t you say I’m still a child?”
“That was before, when your dad was here.
Back then, it made sense for you to say you were a child.
But your dad’s gone now, and you need to learn to grow up.”
Zhao i insisted, either they rent out the land, or Huang Xin had to work.
Huang Xin was reluctant to part with the money, but even so, it couldn’t be more important than oneself.
“Fine, let’s rent it out, but we can’t let it go for cheap, especially since it will be harvest ti soon.”
“Our family always has a bountiful harvest.” Huang Xin worried that Zhao i would be smooth-talked into renting out the land for the price of cabbages.
The more he thought about it, the more Huang Xin decided that he had to be the one to make this decision.
“Of course, when it cos to the money, it should go to .” Huang Xin wasn’t going to diate for nothing; naturally, he must have a service fee.
What?
Huang Lina didn’t expect that Huang Xin would simply decide who to rent the family land to and then take the rent for himself; of course, she was indignant.
“How can the money go to you?
I’m also part of this family.
There’s so much land, and I have my share too,” Huang Lina argued furiously with Huang Xin.
The person she hated most now, apart from Zhao i, was Huang Xin, who clearly knew she was a girl, who clearly knew she needed to doll herself up.
The end result was tightfistedness all around; the elder withholding compensation from her, then the younger squandering the family’s possessions without sharing any money with her.
“And furthermore, a portion of this money belongs to our elder sister.
How can you not give her share?”
Huang Lina, having no luck arguing with Huang Xin, brought up Huang Man as leverage.
Huang Man, just finished bathing and doing laundry, heard what was happening in the yard, “That money is none of my concern.”
“I won’t take it; you all decide how to divide it.” Huang Man sat down to wash clothes after speaking her piece.
Hearing this, Huang Lina was very upset.
She was clearly fighting for this guy’s benefit, yet she went and said sothing like that.
What was this supposed to an?
Was she trying to show how magnanimous she was?
Making her look like a greedy person in contrast?
Huang Lina grew angry thinking about it.
“Big sister, you’re a teacher with an inco.
Of course, you wouldn’t care for these bits and pieces.”
“It’s not that I don’t care, it’s that I’ve been used to keeping my head down and working hard since I was little.
Asking for things is pointless—I’ve learned not to expect much.”
“I know better.
When trouble cos, the only one who can help is myself.”
“You’re different.
Aren’t you mom’s favorite little darling?
You and Huang Xin get along well.
You could discuss this with them.”
Aren’t they always very close?
Now it’s just about raising a small request.
Negotiate?
“Negotiate what, they’re not going to give the money.” The more Huang Lina thought about it, the more furious she got, hoping Huang Man would help speak up for her.
“Sis, could you please help out?” Huang Lina looked to Huang Man with hopeful eyes.
Huang Man, by nature cheerful, “I’ve given up on it myself, so why would I fight for you?”
“So I play the villain, Huang Xin gets annoyed with , and you reap the benefits?” Huang Man wouldn’t give Zhao i any face, and even less so to Huang Lina.
Huang Lina’s face turned ugly after being bluntly criticized by Huang Man.
Huang Xin wasn’t afraid of Huang Man at all; there was no way she could take money from him.
After hearing Huang Man’s attitude, he was genuinely happy, even though he had previously had a confrontation with her, it didn’t affect his good mood now.
Huang Man didn’t care how unsightly soone’s face was; she quickly finished washing her clothes and returned to her room to continue practicing with test questions.
Since receiving her paynt, Huang Man had also bought so things for herself, like clothes and other daily necessities.
Yes, that’s right, just daily necessities, nothing even slightly luxurious.
It’s always good to keep wealth under wraps in any situation, so that even if people knew she had money, they knew she was saving it for her studies.
Huang Lina looked at Huang Man with displeasure.
Since Huang Man could earn her own money, she clearly looked down on these trifling sums.
But Huang Lina was out of cash, and who knew what got into Zhao i’s head, or maybe she was just inherently selfish and it had gone unnoticed before because Huang Man had always been the one to take the heat.
“Anyway, I don’t care.
If you don’t give my share of the money, I won’t see the land as just being rented out, I’ll continue to make trouble.”
“Even if the land under my na lies idle, I won’t rent it out.” Since Huang Man wouldn’t help her, it didn’t matter, she could make her own decisions.
When Huang Lina said this, her voice rose considerably, and of course, everyone enjoying the cool evening overheard.
Everyone knew that renting land from the Huang family was no easy feat, yet they didn’t expect Huang Man to be completely indifferent.
On the contrary, it was Huang Xin and Huang Lina who had many conditions, one of which was that the money had to be right.
Later, hearing Huang Lina say she must get her share or else she’d cause trouble, so people were outright frightened and gave up on the idea.
Out of the four mbers of the Huang family, one relinquished their rights, while the other three each had their own ideas, which truly baffled everyone.
Huang Xin beca furious, “Fine, you take this money, and from now on, your tuition and everything else co out of it, don’t expect the family to give you any more money.”
Huang Xin said angrily, “Mom, you’re not allowed to give Huang Lina any more money.
If you give her money, she’ll just waste it on chasing celebrities.”
“It’s a waste to give it to her.” You want money?
Fine, take it, but don’t expect to get any more.
“How co I don’t get a share of Dad’s compensation money?” Huang Lina was furious.
“The eldest sister didn’t ask for the money,” Huang Xin said angrily.
“You’re always trying to compare yourself with the eldest sister.
Why don’t you compare yourself to her on this?”
Indeed, Huang Man had given up that money.
Huang Lina was originally happy about Huang Man not wanting the compensation, because with one less person to share it, she could get more money.
But now, they were using this issue to block her argunt, “She can make money, doesn’t rely on the money from the family.”
“Then you can make money too,” Huang Xin glowered at Huang Lina fiercely.
In his eyes, anyone who ddled with him or tried to take his money was no good.
“You tell to make money, but how?” Huang Lina was on the verge of cursing.
“Don’t say I should tutor.
With my grades, who would hire ?” Did Huang Lina not want to make money?
Of course, she wanted to earn money, but no one was willing to hire her.
“Go be a waitress,” Huang Xin recalled a hiring sign he had seen that day at a shop.
“The inco is pretty decent,” he reported the salary casually.
