Zhou Jiao playfully smiled at her and said, "Oh my, even my rich mom can be frugal now. Okay, I’ll listen to you, get it resolved early. If they truly need us in the future, we can lend a hand. Mom, don’t worry, didn’t you say it yourself? Problems that can be solved with money aren’t problems. Don’t fret, you’re already married. Everyone has their own home, we’ll help wherever we can. As long as you and Dad are doing well, that’s all that matters. Those things can’t be taken with you when you’re born or when you die, they’re just external possessions."
Lin Lishan rolled her eyes at her, "That was something I carefully prepared for you, it’s a heartfelt gesture, you know? All our family savings are with your grandmother. This time, your dad ran over to you like his tail was on fire. Your grandmother took the money from your eldest uncle, and didn’t mention returning my deposit slip.
Your little aunt bought a yard a few years ago, probably subsidized by your grandmother. I don’t know if she used our family’s money for that. Logically, she should have mentioned it. Your mom’s not stupid!
Oh my, you wouldn’t believe I have nowhere to speak. Your grandmother seems really old, doesn’t know how to refuse money from your eldest uncle, holding onto money tightly. I don’t know what she’s thinking, she can’t even spend her salary, so why bother? Your uncle’s wife is there talking about buying a yard for your cousin, and your little aunt just smiles without a word, I didn’t know what to do, it was your dad who pulled me out so I could finally breathe."
Zhou Jiao knowingly nodded. For her Yang Chun Bai Xue mom to sneak away in fear, the situation must be much more severe than she expressed. Her mom is so sensitive to things being wrong, there should be other issues.
After a moment of silence, Zhou Jiao gently asked, "Is my little aunt’s family in financial difficulty? It seems my elder cousin sister is about to get married soon, and her fiancé should be quite well-off. Grandma is also preparing for my second uncle’s eldest son to find a match, maybe everything’s ready, just waiting for him to come back and get married. The eldest grandson is of age, I guess Dad and Uncle in Beijing will make sure the next step is my elder cousin brother being transferred back to Beijing."
Lin Lishan smiled proudly, "No wonder your grandfather always praises you for being smart. Your little aunt’s husband was chosen by her. The whole small family is her responsibility. When she first got married, she didn’t dare to have kids, not until she was 25 did she have your younger cousin, now she has two sons. Your little aunt always stayed by your grandmother’s side, and is closest to her. Your uncle-in-law is a good man, and as his younger siblings have grown older over the years, his burdens have lessened.
