According to Chinese tradition, most of the money a child earns before getting married is given to his or her parents for safekeeping.

This seems to be a gene engraved in the bones of the Chinese people, as if this is what it means to be a family.

But I have to say that children who give their money to their parents for safekeeping usually save it. But most of those who keep the money in their own hands end up not being able to save it. I don’t seem to be a big spender, but somehow, when I counted the money, it was gone without me noticing.

Come to think of it, people of our parents' generation generally had low incomes, but they were always able to save some money. However, young people today have high incomes, but often feel that they don't have enough money and can never save any.

After hearing what Shen Qiansan said, Chen Shubao disagreed and said, "Brother-in-law, don't say I'm rich now. Even if I didn't have money, I'm the one who supports my parents. Why would I need you to give me money?"

Still with the traditional concept, he felt that his sister was already married. As the saying goes, a married daughter is like spilled water. Although his sister and brother-in-law are relatives, they are only relatives, and they are two families after all.

Since we are two families, we cannot use the money from my sister and brother-in-law's family.

If that is true, what is Chen Shubao?

You will be looked down upon by your neighbors and relatives.

Shen Qiansan is a reborn person, and his concepts are different. In this society, gender equality is just a slogan, but it is written in the law that daughters also have the obligation to support their parents.

Shen Qiansan said: "What are you talking about? Aren't your parents my parents? We both have the obligation to support them. Giving them money is also showing filial piety."

Chen Shuting said: "You can be filial, but I am the only one who can take care of them in their old age!"

He was firm in his attitude and refused to give in at all.

Shen Qiansan saw this and couldn't help but sneer, "Okay, you have the final say!"

There is no need to argue about winning or losing in this kind of thing.

If we continue to argue, it will become an endless dispute.

Many conflicts in families are not big deals in the first place. They are often caused by small things or some conflicts in concepts. They start from small arguments and gradually evolve into fierce conflicts.

The final result, apart from hurting each other and making those who argue get angry, is that there is no one who is better, and there is no real winner.

It is true that you win the argument but hurt your feelings.

Having lived two lives, Shen Qiansan is well aware of this truth. How could he continue to argue with Chen Shubao?

Seeing that Shen Qiansan actually gave in, Chen Shubao was surprised. Whenever he dealt with Shen Qiansan, he was almost always suppressed and he had never won.

I didn't expect that I would win this time!

This made Chen Shubao very happy, and he smiled and said, "Brother-in-law, I know you want to be good to my parents, but I will take care of my parents, you just need to be good to my sister!"

Shen Qiansan smiled slightly and asked, "Do I need you to tell me this?"

He ignored Chen Shubao's pride and casually asked about the development of Shenzhen.

Compared to caring about how Chen Shubao was doing sales in Shenzhen, he cared more about this.

Although as a reborn person, he knew the general trend of the times, but he did not experience the development of this street town in his previous life and did not know many details.

This time of rebirth, he has not yet been to Shenzhen to see it with his own eyes, so naturally he wants to inquire about it.

Chen Shubao was also quite interested in this and started to talk about it. The tall buildings rising from the ground, the busy streets with all kinds of cars, the various small commodities in the market, the factories and even small workshops that have sprung up like mushrooms after rain, and the colorful nightlife at night...

The same thing, Chen Shubao was foaming at the mouth as he spoke.

Shen Qiansan listened carefully and asked questions from time to time, and Chen Shubao answered them in a show-off manner.

Before they knew it, the two had been chatting for an hour or so, and Shen Qiansan had obtained a lot of useful information.

Looking at the time, Shen Qiansan said: "Okay, I'll find you to learn about this today. It's getting late and you still have to go to Lan Yue's house, so go early!"

Chen Shubao agreed, "Then I'll go first!"

He stood up and walked outside. Just as he reached the door, he seemed to remember something, and suddenly stopped, turned around and said, "Brother-in-law, I won't be back for dinner this afternoon, don't wait for me!"

Shen Qiansan only thought that he was going to have dinner at Lan Yue's house, and couldn't help but laugh teasingly: "It's so early, and you are planning to have two meals at Xiao Yue's house!"

In Qingwa, when visiting someone's home, most people just eat a meal and then leave, unless a distant relative wants to stay overnight.

The main reason is that they are afraid of causing trouble to the host. After all, when the host entertains guests, he will try every means to prepare delicious food.

Another reason is that in the past, everyone’s life was not rich and there was not much to eat.

When you go to someone's home for a meal, they will have one less portion of food.

In the countryside, it is said that only lazy people who have nothing to eat will go to other people's homes to eat for free. Relatives can't say anything to each other because of face, but it is quite annoying.

It is for these reasons that people in Qingwa City usually only have one meal when they visit someone else's home. This has almost become a rule without a rule, and most people abide by it silently.

In addition, there is a popular saying in Qingwa that if you have nothing to do when visiting someone's home, don't go at mealtime.

If that happens, it will be like you are going there to eat for free, and will be gossiped about by outsiders.

Instead of rushing to the host's house at mealtime, you can stay longer at the host's house during the meal. You will have time to say what you need to say, and time to do what needs to be discussed or done.

Chen Shubao also understood these rules. After hearing what Shen Qiansan said, he quickly said, "I will have a meal at Sister Lan's house, and then in the afternoon I..."

He suddenly stopped talking and looked at Shen Qiansan with a guilty conscience. He thought that he must not tell anyone about his meeting with Zhou Xiaozhou.

Seeing Chen Shubao hesitated to speak, as if he had something to hide, Shen Qiansan couldn't help but feel strange for a moment, and said casually: "You have something to do this afternoon, then go ahead!"

I didn't get to the bottom of it.

We are all adults, who doesn’t have their own private matters?

Shen Qiansan is not the kind of person who would dig deep into the matter to get to the bottom of it.

Chen Shubao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said, "Then I'm leaving!"

After saying that, he left quickly as if escaping.

Watching his brother-in-law disappearing from his back, Shen Qiansan smiled silently and ignored him. He cleaned up the tea table and went into the study, intending to read a book.

"Jingle Bell……"

As soon as I entered the door, the phone on the desk rang.

Shen Qiansan walked forward slowly and picked up the phone.

"Third brother, it's me, Hanyu!"

Before he could say hello, Zhao Hanyu's voice came from the other side.

"Oh, it's Hanyu!" Shen Qiansan greeted him calmly and asked, "What's the matter?"
