Chapter 10244
Yang Ruoqing did not open the New Year's red envelope, but she knew that the amount of money contained in each red envelope was absolutely the same.
The distribution to each household is based on the number of children. The more children there are, the more red envelopes will be given.
But the shares are all the same, there will be no preference for one, and there will be no distinction between men and women.
Why is Yang Ruoqing so determined now?
There are two reasons.
The first reason is that a long time ago, when the old Yang family had not fully recovered, except for the third bedroom, which had no worries about food and clothing, the other families, including Old Yang himself, Life is still tight.
At that time during the Chinese New Year, Lao Yangtou and Mrs. Tan gave red envelopes only to the male grandchildren in the family, not to the granddaughters.
Even if it is given to the grandchildren, the amounts in the red envelopes received by the grandchildren are different.
The eldest grandson Yang Yongxian had the largest amount in the red envelope, followed by Daan.
When it comes to other grandchildren, it is almost meaningless, so this matter has made many people dissatisfied for a long time.
As time went by, the granddaughters also received red envelopes. However, the red envelopes given by the granddaughters were meaningless and could not be compared with the grandchildren, and the grandchildren could not be compared with Yang Yongxian.
Until the end, the grandchildren gradually grew up and got married respectively, and the fourth generation of the family began to spring up like mushrooms after a spring rain.
At this time, Lao Yangtou and Tan simply made a clean cut and announced that they would no longer give out New Year's red envelopes to their grandchildren, but would only give them to their great-grandchildren.
This is the first reason, and the second reason is because the conditions of the Lao Yang family today are simply not on the same level as they were a few years ago.
Every room is up, and every room is more filial to the old man and old lady than before.
Especially the two brothers Yang Huazhong and Yang Huazhou. Yang Huazhong lives in the village all year round. While the old man and old lady share the food, clothing, housing and transportation with other houses, the old man and old lady usually have headaches and fever. It is Yang Huazhong who is in charge.
Seeing a doctor, taking medicine, and taking various health supplements are all supplementary to the public expenditure, and will not be shared with other rooms. It is completely paid for by himself.
In addition, Yang Huazhong took care of all the clothes and shoes for all seasons for the old man and old lady, and the old man’s tobacco and alcohol expenses.
There is no need for the old man and old lady to pay a penny themselves, so in terms of living expenses, the old man and old lady spend almost nothing!
Not only that, during the holidays, Yang Huazhong would also take the lead in honoring his two elders, giving them not only gifts but also money.
Because Yang Huazhou has been managing a restaurant in Qing'an County for many years, he cannot stay with his two elders to fulfill his filial piety.
So in his case, he even converted the owed filial piety and companionship into items and money. Only in this way could he make up for the guilt he felt towards his two elders.
Even Yang Huaming would occasionally secretly give his two elders pocket money or something without telling Mrs. Liu when his conscience found out.
Yang Yongjin and Yang Huazhou are in similar situations, so the uncle and nephew treat them in similar ways.
Yang Yongzhi was different. In addition to supporting his family with the money he earned at the Taoist temple, he had to save the rest for Hong'er to study.
The money he earned was almost penniless and handed over to Zhao Liuer for safekeeping. At the same time, he did not smoke or drink. He had two meals and drinks during the day at the Taoist temple, saving as much as he could.
His money is so tight, so he definitely can't spare much money to honor the old man and the old lady.
But as a biological grandson, he lived with his grandma in the front and backyard. Usually when his grandpa would shout something, he would immediately go over to help. The same goes for Zhao Liuer. Whenever she cooks something delicious, she will give a bowl to her grandma in the east room.
When I went to wash, I took the dirty clothes and shoes from the old man's house to be washed.
When the weather is sunny, she picks the bedding in the backyard to dry. She also puts the cotton batting in the house of the old man and old lady on the wall to catch the sun, and waits until the sun sets in the afternoon. After sinking, Mrs. Tan stood at the door of the east room and shouted, and Zhao Liuer immediately came over to take care of it.
From drying to making the bed again, she did the whole process by herself, without any hassle from the old man or the old lady.
Having said this, some people may ask, shouldn’t these tasks be done by Mr. Liu who lives in the west room opposite the east room?
You know, compared to Zhao Liu'er, the grandson's daughter-in-law who has a more distant responsibility, the fourth daughter-in-law, Mrs. Liu, is the one who should really be responsible for the food and daily life of the two elders!
Haha, the person who asked this question, please go to the West Room and take a look. The bed covered by Liu's bed was originally a twelve-pound quilt, but now it has been turned into a twenty-pound quilt by her. You Just got it!
Ms. Liu has no intention of taking care of her own bedding, let alone taking care of her parents-in-law’s? This is too difficult for Mr. Liu.
Okay, finally let’s talk about Yang Yongqing.
In the past many years, Yang Yongqing has contributed the least to the old couple.
Without money, I can’t contribute much.
He was generous with his own business, making a little money, just like working a temporary job. After earning a few days of living expenses, he would take a few days off. After a few days, he would see himself, his daughter, my mother, and his stupid wife starving. , he no longer slept at home. He ran out for a few days to earn ten and a half days' living expenses, and then found another reason to go home to rest and lie down.
But tonight he made a promise that he would not do this again in the future, and that he would work hard to support the fourth bedroom!
At the end of the day, what I have to say is Yang Ruoqing, Daan Xiaoan, the three girls, and several grandchildren.
They are the big ones who give money to old men and old ladies, the big ones!
Among them, especially the third girl, she has the deepest relationship with the old lady.
In addition, Liu Xueyun eats from the Yamen, and the young couple owns properties, fields, and shops in Canngle County...
So every time the third girl takes her son back to her parents' home for a short stay, in addition to buying jewelry and clothes for the old lady, she also Give private money to the old lady.
The old lady herself let it slip once. That time alone, the three girls gave the old lady four taels of silver.
So to sum up, today’s old men and women have a lot of private money in their hands.
Even if the coffins of the past few years were secretly given to Yang Huamei, even in Liu's joking words, the new house of the old Wang family was not built by Dabai, nor was it built by Yang Huamei. That house was built by Tan Mr. and Lao Yang's heads were covered.
To put it bluntly, it was built by the old Yang family, so everyone in the old Yang family can confidently live in the new house of the old Wang family!
Although these words were made out of jealousy by Mr. Liu, it is indeed the case.
Yang Huamei is not a woman who has given birth, how can she have the confidence?
To put it bluntly, isn’t it from my mother’s family?
Especially the parents' money, this is the most direct, intuitive and effective way to subdue the old Wang family.
