Chapter 1685
“of course, she can’t be compared to the first one! You won’t dare to let her have anything. She is not of one mind with you!”
“That’s right! Greedy!”
“Think about it, is this reasoning correct? It’s my salary and my house. You’re just staying here, of course, I have to take care of my relatives, why would I have the leisure to take care of your relatives?”
“That’s right! That’s the reasoning. It’s a pity that she is a woman from the rural areas, so she is greedy and not sensible! ”
“She needs to be disciplined! ”
“She needed to be taught a lesson, then she won’t dare to do it again! ”
“Look at her now. She still obediently went into the house to cook for you. She can’t bear to leave. Where can she go if she leaves? Surely, she can’t sleep on the street!”
“She’s so unappreciative!”
All these were said aloud, without hiding from the old lady in any way. The old lady remained very calm. That night, all the old man’s children had dinner at home. After they were done, the old lady cleaned up the dishes. She even poured a bucket of water for the old man to wash his feet at night, and she personally scrubbed his feet for him, so much so that the old man even slept with her once in a fit of anger. She was all very calm.
The following day, all the children had returned to their respective homes, and the old man had gone out for a stroll and light exercises. The old lady then searched all the possible places that could hide money in the house. Sure enough, she truly found fifty thousand dollars! she put the money in a satchel and headed straight to her grandson’s school. That was four years with meals and accommodation included. Her grandson could then safely finish his nine years of mandatory education.
When she came out of her grandson’s school, the old lady still stuck around outside the school as she could not bear to leave. “Baby, I’m sorry. I have given you everything I could give you. stay in school these four years and don’t create any trouble. After four years, your father should also be released. This way, you will have a father. My child, you have to be sensible and study well. When your dad is released, have him work and earn money to pay for your high school tuition. You have to go to college. Don’t be a butcher like your father. So uncultured and impulsive. Baby, I have to part with you forever now. You have to stay well.”
The old lady cried inconsolably outside of her grandson’s school until she had no tears left to cry anymore in the end. she washed her face by the river, then she returned home.
When she got home, the old man did not even notice that she had cried. He just looked at her with disgust. “I have not disciplined you and you’re so audacious now? Where have you been today? You didn’t even make lunch! I had to order delivery! The delivery food is so disgusting and so high in fats! You know that I have high blood pressure! I can’t have oily and salty foods! Yet, you didn’t come back to cook! Where on earth did you go? You have not been home all day! You haven’t even done the laundry!”
