A woman in her 1970s remarried a tycoon with no heir, and gave birth to triplets, stunning the famil

Upon hearing this, Liu Guiying held her breath and dared not speak.

Grandma Sun was even more pleased with herself; she knew that mentioning this would definitely scare the second son's family.

No wonder Sister Guiying is so eloquent and unwilling to suffer losses. Even though her mother-in-law lost her child, she still tolerated her so much.

It turned out they were afraid that Battalion Commander Sun would lose his job, but being controlled like this wasn't a solution.

Jiang Linwan: "Auntie, whether someone is filial or not is not something you can just say casually. Even if you complain to the leaders, they will judge Brother Sun's character based on your family's circumstances."

If he is truly disrespectful, his superiors will naturally punish him. At the very least, he will receive a major demerit; at worst, he might lose his job.

"Now that you've lost your job, you won't have any money to give your parents each month..." She deliberately took a bite when she mentioned giving money to her parents.

Not only did Grandma Sun's expression change, but Liu Guiying's expression also changed. Yes, if her husband really lost his job, her in-laws wouldn't get any benefits either.

Twenty yuan a month is enough for the expenses of those people in the countryside for almost a year.

Not to mention that they earn twenty a month, which adds up to two hundred and forty a year.

Her mother-in-law was still not satisfied and kept spending her money.

"Mom, go ahead and make a fuss. We'll give you and Dad twenty yuan a month. That's enough for you two to eat fine rice every day for a month, and you won't even run out of money."

How come you don't have enough money? Did your eldest and third brothers mistreat you and steal your money instead of letting you spend it?

"If that's really the case, your son and I will go back on our next leave and ask the team leader what should be done about the eldest and third brothers abusing the elderly."

Grandma Sun immediately calmed down: "Second son, don't talk nonsense. Your eldest brother and your third brother treat your father and me very well. They often buy us meat to eat."

"Since your eldest brother and third brother buy you meat all the time, and we give you so much money, how come it's not enough?"

"Could it be that my dad has picked up some bad habit? That won't do, Miao's dad, you need to ask your superior for leave right away. We have to go back and talk to him. He can't have picked up any bad habits." Liu Guiying said, urging Battalion Commander Sun to ask for leave.

Grandma Sun panicked even more: "No, don't go. Your father and I actually have enough money. I'm just worried that you two will spend money recklessly and then run out of money when the children grow up."

So I'd like to advise you to save your money. Oh dear, it's already noon, I'll go cook.

After saying that, Grandma Sun rushed into the kitchen. Liu Guiying and Jiang Linwan exchanged a glance and smiled at each other.

"Sister Guiying, I'll head back now." Jiang Linwan said and left, feeling as if she had forgotten something.

When she got home, Xiao Chunya and Xiao Xiangdong had already returned from school, and Xiuwan was with them.

When Tian Xiangdi saw Xiuwan return, she looked on with envy.

She is six years old this year, which is the age for her to go to school, but her parents say that it is useless for girls to study and that it is better for them to stay at home and help with chores.

"Hurry up and eat, then go do your homework," Aunt Liu called out. The group lined up to wash their hands, with Tian Xiangdi following behind.

Xiao Chunya looked at her with some curiosity: "Are you also from a Hope Primary School? What grade are you in?"

Tian Xiangdi shook her head awkwardly: "I didn't go to school."

Xiao Chunya looked surprised: "You haven't started school yet? How old are you?"

"Six, six years old," Tian Xiangdi whispered.

Xiao Xiangdong looked on with envy: "That's great. I don't want to go to school either. I get sleepy just looking at those books. Your parents actually agreed to let you not go to school."

Did you hire a tutor to teach you at home?

"No, no, my parents won't let me go to school." Tian Xiangdi lowered her head further and further.

Xiao Xiangdong was even more shocked. Were there really such good parents? He was about to continue speaking when Jiang Xiuwan stopped him: "Xiao Xiangdong, if you can't speak properly, then don't speak."

"What's wrong with me!" Xiao Xiangdong looked completely bewildered.

Jiang Xiuwan pulled Tian Xiangdi along and led her directly to Jiang Linwan: "Auntie, shouldn't Xiangdi go back to school too?"

She doesn't have parents now, so how can she go to school?

When Tian Zhaodi was a child, she secretly followed others to learn and could recognize some characters, but not many.

My younger sisters either only attended school for a few years or never went to school at all.

Tian Xiangdi was too young, so no one thought about teaching her to read.

"Xiangdi, do you want to go to school?" Jiang Linwan asked her with a smile.

Tian Xiangdi glanced timidly at Jiang Linwan: "Can I?"

"Why not? If you want to go, I'll take you to complete the enrollment procedures."

Tian Xiangdi glanced at her older sister and whispered, "But going to school costs a lot of money."

Jiang Linwan: "It's worth the money, as long as we go and learn seriously."

If you can't read, you'll be confined to a tiny place your whole life.

Reading may cost money, but it gives you confidence.

"Being educated means you can distinguish right from wrong, find your own way to make a living, and not have to wait for others to give you handouts."

The Tian sisters had never heard these words before; they had only heard that it was a waste of money for girls to go to school.

She'll just get married and leave to have and take care of other people's children anyway; she'll be completely useless.

"I want to study," Tian Xiangdi said earnestly after thinking for a moment. "I also want to learn as much knowledge as Sister Jiang so that I can treat and save lives."

Jiang Linwan rubbed her head: "Then go, but winter vacation is coming soon, so you won't be able to study for more than a few days."

If you'd like, Xiuwan can teach you to read at home recently, and I'll take you to register for school after the New Year.

"Okay, thank you, Sister Jiang," Tian Xiangdi said excitedly.

Jiang Linwan felt a pang of sadness looking at her sensible appearance.

In the afternoon, she went to the hospital. When she got there and saw the knitting needle that she had accidentally broken, she remembered why she had gone to Guiying's house at noon.

She patted her forehead in slight disdain, wondering why her memory had been getting worse lately, forgetting even such a small thing.

"Dr. Jiang, someone is looking for you," Dr. Luo called out.

Jiang Linwan saw the old woman carrying a basket at the door and was somewhat surprised: "Aunt Qiao, what brings you here?"

Aunt Qiao walked towards her: "Dr. Jiang, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, I would have been really deceived by my sister-in-law."

She's perfectly healthy, yet she lies in bed pretending to be healthy every day, making me take care of her for nothing all these years.

Upon hearing this, Chen Ximei and the others left one by one, full of gossip: "What happened? What do you mean by faking paralysis?"

Aunt Qiao was furious: "My sister-in-law, just to be lazy, fell down and lay in bed for a few days, then pretended to be paralyzed and lied to me for eight whole years."

For the past eight years, I've bathed her, cooked for her, served her meals, and even paid for her medical treatment. I never imagined it was all a lie.

"My mother-in-law even helped my sister-in-law hide it from me; they all think I'm a fool." Aunt Qiao became more and more agitated as she spoke, and she even burst into tears.
