Chapter 610 - 610 600 Peeled Tender Corn
?Chapter 610: Chapter 600: Peeled Tender Corn Chapter 610: Chapter 600: Peeled Tender Corn “I have no objection, as long as your elder brother and sister-in-law agree, that’s fine,” Shen Yunfang said with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile. From what she knew of Wang Dan, she wouldn’t agree to such an arrangement so readily; there had to be some benefit in it for her. Yet, this time when Wang Dan and her husband visited, they didn’t bring up the matter at all.
Li Hongjun felt a bit embarrassed, “My elder brother didn’t mention it, but my sister-in-law said their family isn’t wealthy either, and they have many children. So, if they were to take care of Dad, she wanted me to give her all the money I set aside for Dad’s pension.”
Shen Yunfang nodded upon hearing this, typical of Wang Dan’s style.
“But with Dad’s age, and my sister-in-law’s character, I’m worried if Dad doesn’t have any money at all, he won’t feel right. I mean, an old man like him won’t even be able to buy a pouch of tobacco without asking his daughter-in-law for money, right?”
“So, what do you suggest?” Shen Yunfang had a rough idea of what he meant, but she still asked.
“I was thinking, before my mother comes out, if we could give Dad an extra fifty yuan each year for his pension. That way he’d have some money in his pocket and feel more confident at my brother’s place, and stand a bit taller,” Li Hongjun said, rubbing his hands and trying to sweet-talk his wife.
An annual pension of a hundred yuan was already not small, and now he wanted to give fifty more. He, as a son, could voice this, but as a husband and a father, he felt ashamed. He knew he could make this request because he was aware his wife earned more. If the family had to rely solely on his salary, this request would end with him; his wages were barely enough to support his own immediate family after giving a hundred yuan to his parents, and anything more was beyond what he could afford.
