Chapter 2057: Chapter 2058: Old Mrs. Zhang’s 1970 Reformation of Her Ungrateful Children 89

Feng Xia didn’t expect that when she casually mentioned she didn’t want to learn, Zhang Yu would raise her voice and say not to expect any pickled vegetables in winter.

This made her furious, she really didn’t understand what was wrong with the old lady.

Obviously, there are only three children, and relations with Wei Xuan are completely severed, even though not with Wei He, the relationship can be described as indifferent based on her observation.

Feng Xia thought that since Zhang Yu has only three children and has already fallen out with Wei Xuan, she would definitely try to maintain a good relationship with her own family.

Who would have thought her temper remained so bad, "Mom, have you thought about it, when you get old."

Hmph, even the topic of old-age care can’t suppress the old woman.

Zhang Yu looked at Feng Xia proudly and smiled, "Don’t worry, I’ve never thought of relying on you for my old age care."

"Do you remember I mentioned before, that whoever is filial will get the house."

"If all three children are unfilial, I don’t mind leaving the property to an outsider." Zhang Yu snorted coldly, "Feng Xia, don’t stop me from severing ties with Wei Xuan."

"And just because the relationship with Wei He is indifferent doesn’t mean I’ll depend on Wei Jiang in the future."

"Tch, and you think you can threaten me with old-age care." Zhang Yu was speechless.

She shouted towards Wei Jiang, "Wei Jiang, take care of your wife."

"I don’t want to hear any of you in the future saying that we need to rely on you, it’s not happening."

"I can sever ties with Wei Xuan, I can kick out Wei He and make them rent a house, and I can also kick you out, Wei Jiang."

"I haven’t kicked your family out, not because I’m thinking of relying on you for old-age care, but because you haven’t completely offended me yet."

"Remember, Wei Jiang, if you keep stepping on my bottom line, all of you will be kicked out."

"It’s outrageous, living in my house, and you think you can threaten me." Zhang Yu said towards Wei Jiang’s room.

"Wei Jiang, take care of your wife." After rolling her eyes at Feng Xia, Zhang Yu turned and left.

Wei Jiang didn’t dare to go out, afraid that once he did, getting scolded would be the least of his worries; he was mainly concerned that if the old lady got too angry, she might kick the whole family out, then what would they do?

Didn’t see that the old lady could even kick out her favorite son and sever ties with her favorite daughter so easily.

After hearing Zhang Yu’s footsteps leaving, Wei Jiang carefully opened the door, signaling Feng Xia to quickly come inside.

Seeing Wei Jiang’s displeased face, Feng Xia couldn’t help but stiffen, "I’m sorry."

"Sorry?" Wei Jiang thought of someone’s behavior just now and was really angry, "I don’t need your apology."

"I’m telling you, Feng Xia, if you offend the old lady again in the future, then you can just leave."

"And you all," Wei Jiang glared at the two children, "be polite to your grandma from now on."

"If I find out any of you offended the old lady, no matter who it is, I won’t let it slide." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

"Think about your uncle’s life after moving out." Wei Jiang had seen Wei He’s rented house; the environment was chaotic and couldn’t compare to theirs at all.

The place wasn’t very big, the lighting wasn’t good, and the surrounding neighbors were not worth mentioning, and such a place still cost ten yuan in rent.

He remembered Wei He mentioning once, that being able to rent two rooms was already quite good, and said this price was really very cheap, "If we have to rent ourselves, finding a place for ten yuan won’t be easy."

"Waiting for the company to allocate a house, who knows when that will happen." Wei Jiang took a deep breath, "It’s all Li Juan’s fault."

Wei Jiang got angry just thinking about it, "If it wasn’t for her speaking ill of the old lady to the children, how would the old lady get upset?"

At this moment, he didn’t mention his excitement when he first heard about the family division from the old lady, back then he was really happy, thinking he could spend money however he wanted.

But who could have thought, it was only after the division that he realized how hard life was, with tuition for two kids and their clothes needing to be prepared by himself.

In the past, holiday gifts for the Yue family were prepared by the old mother, he used to think it was stingy and not respectable, but now he discovers that spending money on such gifts is indeed quite a bit, it really pained him.

Thinking about before, they only needed to pay a living expense of 15 yuan, and there was meat to eat every week, now, with 15 yuan a month, what can you do, it’s not nearly enough for even slightly better food.

Feng Xia had mixed feelings about the family division, happy that the money was theirs, but upset that she thought she would be in charge of the household affairs, only for the financial power to shift from Zhang Yu to Wei Jiang.

What was worse was that before, she had five yuan of pocket money each month, and she could give one or two to her family, but since the division, Wei Jiang gave her only fifty cents a month, reasoning that she didn’t buy things for the two kids and wasn’t willing to spend on herself, so she must be subsidizing her family.

Pocket money decreased, but chores increased, and she had to do everything herself, now getting up early every day to buy groceries, or else everything left after work would be picked over, coming home meant cooking and being criticized for not cooking well.

Dirty clothes and such were all waiting for her to wash, sigh, Feng Xia regretted it now, Wei Jiang might not waste money, but would the old lady waste money if the finances were with Zhang Yu?

After scolding Li Juan in his mind, Wei Jiang noticed that Feng Xia was still standing there dumbly, "Aren’t you going to cook? You know we’re hungry."

Feng Xia shivered, quickly went out to cook, and at this time noticed that the old couple was already eating at the table, feeling relieved when she saw there was no fish or meat.

Although there was some egg custard on the table, at least it wasn’t meat, so it wasn’t noticeable.

Zhang Yu of course knew what Feng Xia was thinking when she saw her glance over, just relieved the family wasn’t eating fish or meat today.

Childish, truly childish, we’re not having fish or meat because there’s something better today, "Old man, eat slowly, there’s some meat floss under the egg custard, have more."

"You should eat more too." Wei Dazhi suggested Zhang Yu eat more, "You’re also working hard fishing every day."

"It’s fine, in a few days, I’ll relax, I’ll just rest at home by then." Zhang Yu glanced at Feng Xia, "Now I’m really relaxed, I don’t have to wake up to a pile of work waiting for me every day like before."

"I’ll go out a few more days and then I’m preparing to finish." Although some fishing friends did say to call her when they dug their fishing holes, she didn’t plan to go out again.

After all, standing on the ice is cold enough, now while I’m still young, I’m using my body, but once I’m older, I’ll know the consequences.
