Jiang Xiu was speechless for a moment. She really didn't dare to open the door and let Mrs. Qiao Zhang in. She had been the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law for more than 20 years, so she knew something about her. She was not big-hearted but petty.

Lin Anan stopped Jiang Xiu and asked her, "Does the Qiao family have any elders who are fair and respected by the younger generation?"

"Yes, your second grandfather, your grandfather's second uncle, is over eighty this year."

"Then invite the second old man here and discuss a pension plan, otherwise there will be trouble in the future."

Speaking of Potian, Mrs. Qiao Zhang is the mother-in-law and Jiang Xiu is the daughter-in-law.

Shanzi was clever and climbed out from the wall to call the old man. It was not until the old man arrived that Jiang Xiucai opened the door and let them in.

Mr. Qiao is in his eighties, neither deaf nor blind, a very kind old man.

Jiang Xiu poured hot water and gave one bowl to the old man and another to Qiao Zhang.

Mrs. Qiao Zhang curled her lips, "Second uncle, I am an old lady who has benefited from you. I came alone and couldn't even get in through the gate."

The old man took a sip gently like he was tasting tea, "Then you need to reflect on it. I'm no good as an old guy. I can enter anyone's house."

One sentence left Qiao Zhang speechless.

Lin Anan walked out to meet the old man. Logically speaking, she should have gone to see him at the door a long time ago. Jiang Xiu was afraid that she would not approve of the Qiao family, so she delayed until now.

"Are you the girl found in the woods?"

The old man was very smart. He directly recognized the identity of Lin Ananqiao's family by getting it back instead of exchanging it.

"Second Grandpa, she is An An."

Lin Anan also called grandpa.

"Well, with big eyes and a high nose, they are from our Qiao family."

This scene stung Ms. Qiao Zhang, and she coughed and said, "Second uncle, let's get down to business. I am over sixty this year and can no longer work. I have to rely on my son and daughter-in-law to support me in my old age."

The old man asked: "What kind of pension plan?"

"I live with the third son. The third son takes care of my food and accommodation, and the second daughter-in-law pays for it."

As I thought...it's so beautiful!

The old man asked Jiang Xiu, "What your mother-in-law said, does your granddaughter-in-law have any objections?"

"I can pay, but there's always a certain amount, right? Shanzi is still young, so you have to rely on me. Even if I promise, I can't do it beyond my capabilities."

The old man turned his attention to Qiao Zhang again.

"Ten yuan a month, one hundred and twenty yuan a year."

It's really a big deal. A formal worker's salary is only forty or fifty yuan a month. Besides, those who forage in the soil of Jiangxiu may not be able to save fifty yuan a year.

Lin Anan couldn't hold it back and burst out laughing.

Mrs. Qiao Zhang became angry and said, "Why are you laughing? You also have things to do when you are old and rely on your son to support you, and you don't have a tutor!"

Jiang Xiu said protectively, "You want to scold me? An An has only been back for a few days? She has nothing to do with the Qiao family."

Lin Anan asked the old man, "Grandpa, how much does a pound of wheat cost this year?"

The old man was twiddling his pipe, "I heard others say it's 13.1 pounds."

"One cent and thirty-one pounds. One hundred and twenty yuan can buy more than 900 pounds of wheat. Third uncle will pay another 900 pounds. That means grandma needs 1,800 pounds of wheat a year. This is enough food for several people. ah?"

Mrs. Qiao Zhang said, "Why is it 1,800 pounds? The third child is waiting here. He doesn't have a family yet, so he doesn't need to go out."

Lin Anan asked the old man, "Grandpa, don't sons who can't marry a wife have to support their parents in their old age?"

"Of course you have to support yourself in old age. Whether you have a wife or not is your son."

"Then why do I think Third Uncle doesn't need to take care of him in old age? He says he's here to take care of him. The old man can do laundry, cook and go to the fields. Who is taking care of whom?"

Mrs. Qiao Zhang screamed, "I am already over sixty years old. If I don't take care of my old age, I will lose my conscience!"

Jiang Xiu just wanted to speak, but Lin Anan blocked him, "My mother didn't say she wouldn't provide for her in old age. If you want to accomplish something, don't ask for it. One hundred and twenty yuan a year, don't even think about it, my mother can't afford it." .”

"Why can't you get it out? It's enough for you to sell a few clothes at the market..."

It turns out that the real reason is here. Mrs. Qiao Zhang was jealous when she saw Lin Anan making money.

Lin An'an sat up straight and said with a smile: "I am a granddaughter. I have grown up so big that I can't afford a mouthful of food from my grandma and uncle. What does it have to do with how much money I earn? A granddaughter has no obligation to provide for grandma in her old age, and neither does my mother." ...Providing for old age is the obligation of the son and daughter, not the daughter-in-law."

Ms. Qiao Zhang's triangular eyes widened. She came here to make her daughter-in-law and her family feel uncomfortable. But she failed to make them feel uncomfortable. She couldn't even get rid of any wool?

"Damn you, you should have gone to enjoy your happiness early, leaving me alone as an old woman. Anyone can bully me!"

The old man banged the cigarette pot on the table, "If you want to cry, go cry outside. Then I'm leaving."

Mrs. Qiao Zhang quickly grabbed the old man and said, "Second uncle, you have to make the decision for me."

"Then talk nicely."

Mrs. Qiao Zhang nodded, "I listen to my second uncle. Even though I am not Shulin's biological mother, I have been dragged into marrying a wife since I was five or six years old. There is no merit but hard work. If he is gone, can the wife and children not be taken care of in old age?"

Lin An'an said: "I didn't say that I won't provide for old age, I said that legally my mother doesn't have to provide for old age. In other words, my mother can be upright and cheat, but my mother won't cheat, but she won't be taken advantage of."

"It's okay to support you in old age. You have two sons. We will share it equally with your third uncle. Your ration land will be divided into two. How much food you have to pay every year can be determined by me. I can't just let you talk about it."

The old man praised again and again, "This boy is right. You know how you treat Shanzi and your mother. It is already difficult for them to live... Well, let's divide your ration land and give you one hundred and fifty a year. A pound of wheat, fifty pounds of corn, five pounds of peanut oil.”

Mr. Qiao Zhang quit, "I can't even grow more than this amount of grain myself..."

The old man stood up and walked out with his hands behind his back, "Then you can plant your own seeds. It's not like you can't climb even if you are seventy or eighty years old. How can you live in old age!"

Rural people don’t have pensions. They live until they are old and can’t move anymore, so they let their children pay for their pensions.

Mrs. Qiao Zhang's purpose was to get money, not a hundred pounds of food. The old man had already seen through it.

"Second uncle..."

The old man had already walked out.

Shan Zi shut out the door together with Qiao Zhang.

Jiang Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, "I finally left."

"She won't let it go like this, and she will still make trouble. When I make money, we will move to the city, far away from them."

Lin Anan has gradually integrated into this family, so she naturally thinks about this family. Business in the county town is easier than in the countryside, Shanzi can go to school in the future, and most importantly, he can stay away from the mother and son with evil intentions.

Jiang Xiu shook his head, "Going to the city? I can't even think about it."

"There's nothing I dare not think about. We'll go there at the end of the year."

Lin Anan now wants to find a stall keeper, and let Jiang Xiu and Shanzi go to the school gate to sell headwear and stickers, making full use of resources.

"Your grandpa's great-granddaughter is one year younger than you. She is good at carrying a hand and shoulder. She is also kind and can drive a car..."
