Back then, watching the old mother struggling to raise two children, even with the team’s support, he tried to help them out privately, but she found out and made a huge fuss.
Now hearing that the siblings are doing well in the Capital City, she wants to take advantage of it.
He really doesn’t have the face for that.
"Why did you stop talking?"
Eldest Uncle Fang glanced at Eldest Aunt Fang, "What do you want me to say? When Laoer and his wife left back then, the siblings were still young. I wanted to bring them over to take care of them. You said if I dared to bring them, you wouldn’t live with me. I helped them secretly, and you made a scene so big that the whole team knew about it."
These words instantly left Eldest Aunt Fang at a loss for words, though she still felt uncomfortable.
"You secretly did things behind my back, it’s all your fault."
Eldest Uncle Fang let her rant.
She knows every little thing in the house by heart. If anything is missing, she’s afraid it would cause a fuss. Only when sending the retirement supplies did he push the envelope a bit.
After all, that’s his mother, his niece and nephew.
Sometimes he thought, if she didn’t want to live together, then so be it.
But he has four children to raise, and he simply can’t do it alone.
Now knowing that his niece and nephew and his mother are doing well in the Capital City, he feels very satisfied.
Eldest Uncle Fang had already inquired with Captain Zhao about his niece, nephew, and mother’s situation.
Far away in the Capital City, Fang Chaoyang had no idea that his aunt wanted him to send her money and things.
Even if he knew, he wouldn’t care about it.
Because they grew up relying on the retirement supplies their uncle and little uncle sent to their grandmother.
The children in their uncle’s and little uncle’s families would bully and beat them because they ate the grains their parents sent.
Honestly, who would feel grateful towards those who bullied and hurt them?
That’s simply impossible.
Over in the Capital City.
Wang Yuemei looked at Wang Dongmei who had come again.
Wang Yuemei really didn’t want to go out, having nothing left to say to this sister anymore.
"If you don’t come out, then I’ll just stay here, unless you’re not afraid of others overhearing."
Wang Yuemei glanced at Fang Meiyun, really not wanting to talk about family matters in front of her.
While working at the jewelry store here, she even got a meal subsidy. Brother Xiao He would come to find them during mealtimes, sometimes they’d eat together, and go home together after work.
Life feels pretty good now.
The most important thing is that the salary is not low.
Even though she only worked a few days last month, she still got her wages.
"Let’s talk outside."
The two of them went out and walked a bit further ahead.
Wang Dongmei squinted her eyes, scrutinizing Wang Yuemei. If she wasn’t mistaken, wasn’t that new clothes she’s wearing?
She used to wear her hand-me-downs.
Now, she’s wearing new clothes, and they’re not cheap.
It seems marriage really changes a lot.
"Why did you quit your job? Weren’t you doing just fine before?"
Wang Dongmei remembered Wang Yuemei had worked at the textile factory for many years.
She didn’t get a permanent position, but she never saw her quit either.
Back then, she even used family connections to land a temporary job there.
Now she quit, has she cut ties with the family?
After telling the family about it, her mom sent her over to ask.
"The wages are too low."
Apparently, her monthly wage was only about twenty, and she was a temporary worker. Unlike her, who had long been an official, with a salary twice as high, working in a much easier job, not in the workshop.
