Qin Ming attempted to help his mother up from the ground.
Unexpectedly, He Guixiang slapped her son right across the face.
The sound was loud.
Jiang Yue, feeling sorry, wanted to co over to help persuade the mother-in-law.
Instead, she was pulled aside by Jiang Xiaoxiao.
He Guixiang’s slap aid at Jiang Yue missed, nearly making her stumble forward.
Upon seeing Jiang Xiaoxiao, He Guixiang was filled with resentnt.
Why is this Jiang Xiaoxiao everywhere?
Here she cos again!
The last ti Jiang Xiaoxiao appeared, their family ended up falling apart.
The eldest son left them rcilessly, and now, here she is again, when they’re asking the eldest son for food.
"Eldest, you have lost your conscience. You and your wife are living comfortably here, just look at how well-fed and full your wife is. Yet you completely disregard your old father and mother in the countryside.
The disaster is so severe that the family is starving, yet you act as if you know nothing? Are you still human? We raised you to be like this. Tell , are you even human?"
He Guixiang was scolding Qin Ming, pointing at his nose.
Qin Ming touched his face, initially feeling a bit pleasantly surprised when his parents first ca to find him, thinking they were there to see their granddaughter.
Who knew they would start berating him right away and imdiately demand that he send 500 jin of grain back ho.
jin of grain?
What a joke, even if the couple stopped eating and drinking, it would still take several months to save up 500 jin of grain.
For workers like them, an adult gets only 28 jin of refined grain and 10 jin of coarse grain per month, and that’s because they have good benefits from the power plant.
Thanks to being power plant workers, they’re given a bit more, but Jiang Yue doesn’t get the sa benefit and receives significantly less.
If they send the grain ho, are they supposed to survive by drinking the northwest wind?
As a result, as soon as he managed to say that they had no extra grain at ho and could only provide 100 jin,
he knew well that Jiang Xiaoxiao ca from the farm for the sole purpose of taking away the 300 jin of grain they had intended for her.
And now his parents ca, and he would give them another 100 jin.
He couldn’t just stand by and watch his parents go hungry.
After all, these were his biological parents.
Watching them freeze and starve, he couldn’t bear it, but as soon as he opened his mouth,
his mother imdiately sat on the ground and began to curse loudly.
He Guixiang was just the sa as before, and now that she was in the city, she didn’t care about anything. After all, no one here knew her.
She wasn’t afraid of anyone exposing the truth about her role as the won’s director, she was simply playing the part of an unruly old mother coming to demand grain.
Qin Dazhi stood on the side, not saying a word.
After all, he was the production team leader and couldn’t behave as outrageously as his wife here.
But by not speaking and just sighing, in the eyes of the discerning, he appeared as a helpless and suffering father.
The couple coordinated well.
Qin Ming felt infuriated, yet he couldn’t hit or scold them. Qin Ming truly felt so hatred towards himself, wishing he were better off dead.
Having parents like these, Qin Ming was fed up with his own life.
Jiang Xiaoxiao watched in annoyance, thinking the Qin couple were like cockroaches that couldn’t be killed.
In their past life, they leached off their sister-in-law and brother-in-law; in this life, it was still the sa.
Even a thousand yuan couldn’t satisfy their greedy desires.
Is this human nature?
Jiang Xiaoxiao sotis couldn’t understand, though her parents weren’t her biological ones, how they treated their children, while the Qin parents were so different?
People truly aren’t the sa.
"Uncle and aunt, what are you doing causing such a scene again? If I’m not mistaken, my sister and brother-in-law gave you a one-ti paynt of a thousand yuan as pension money, agreeing there wouldn’t be further support needed from them. Wasn’t the village head accountant a witness?
Or am I recalling incorrectly? Or are you saying that even giving a thousand yuan isn’t filial? Everyone, villagers and neighbors alike, are we not clear on our customs here? Does pension money start at five thousand, ten thousand to be enough?
Are people eating gold and silver?"
Hearing that, soone couldn’t help but laugh.
"It’s not as absurd as you’re saying! Workers here in our factory don’t even earn much for a month; it’s only 28.5 yuan. To send 5 yuan ho as pension money, that can support a whole family.
The spending in the village isn’t like in the city, where expenses are fewer. Families who can send 5 yuan ho should be lighting incense in gratitude.
Many families, like mine, have many mouths to feed and can’t even support their children. Just sending 2 yuan to the grandparents makes them happy.
Your sister and brother-in-law actually gave their parents 1,000 yuan as pension money. My gosh! With a monthly amount of 5 yuan, that would last years. Moreover, with interest rates so high right now, this money, if deposited in the supply and marketing cooperative, would earn over 100 yuan in interest a year alone. Is this even pension money?
It’s more than enough to support a whole family. If I had a son and daughter-in-law like your sister and brother-in-law, I’d be lighting incense and cherishing them; how could I co asking for more?"
"Oh dear, this is being insatiable; didn’t see that coming. This is bullying the honest son and daughter-in-law, isn’t it? They gave a thousand yuan and still it wasn’t enough. And now they’re here asking for grain. Don’t you know, us city folks don’t have grain like you rural folks do?
You guys produce grain and more or less have so extra at ho. We city folks rely on household registration to supply our grain. That is all we have. They even have a child to raise, think about it, is the monthly grain enough to eat?
You don’t even think about supplenting their grain a little, yet you co asking for their grain. Didn’t see they are real parents?"
The old lady nearby spoke up, mainly because how could anyone not see how things had progressed to this point?
This was clearly Qin Ming’s unreasonable parents. Even after being given 1,000 yuan, you still should let the couple live, right?
And now they’re here to ask for grain.
People in the city know each other’s situations well, the provision of grain is fixed. Even if you had money, you couldn’t buy extra.
If they want to bring grain back to their hotown, they’d have to save from their own rations. How could they even save any?
With the two of them caring for several-months-old infant and needing to work every day, if they aren’t well-fed, and sothing happens at work, who would allow them to rest and not work?
In case sothing unfortunate happens on the job, it could be life-threatening.
Qin Dazhi seeing this, knowing that the situation was exposed by Jiang Xiaoxiao.
He felt resentnt, as Jiang Xiaoxiao had stirred up tensions last ti to the point that their family’s dirty laundry was aired out.
Now everyone in the village knew about their family’s matters, and everyone said how foolish Qin Dazhi was to sever ties with a perfectly good son and let things reach a point where his son was heartbroken, how could he expect him to care for them in the future?
Especially the director and the accountant, always watching him coldly.
He’s troubled.
Who would have thought Jiang Xiaoxiao would cause trouble again in the city? She really is the bane of their family.
The problem is if they can’t get grain, their family can’t even make ends et.
