"Brother-in-law, don't be angry. It's not that I don't trust you, but for Dad's health, I need to be extra cautious. After all, it wasn't you who got up in the middle of the night and carried Dad to the hospital." Ma Dong said with a strange smile.
Lin Yi looked towards Yu Fugui.
Yu Fugui sighed secretly and said, "It's okay, nothing will happen if you eat it, I believe Xiao Yi."
"If it weren't for him, I would have been buried in the earth long ago."
Yu Fugui still trusted Lin Yi very much, so he picked it up and ate it without saying a word. Lin Yi's expression eased a little, but he didn't have a good impression of Ma Dong.
Then Lin Yi and his family moved in.
Because the place is big enough, and Lin Yi knows that he doesn't have much time left on Earth, he wants to spend more time with the elderly and fulfill his filial duty.
With more people, there will be more food and drink. Ma Dong has never been familiar with Lin Yi's family. Adding to the matter of the elixir, he is even more dissatisfied. On this day, he muttered to Yu Qinglian: "How much did our family spend today? I calculated that it was nearly a thousand."
"It's okay. My brother Lin and the others won't be staying here for long, and they're not short of money." Yu Qinglian shook her head.
"What does being rich or poor have to do with us? Can you give us one million? Not even one million, a few hundred thousand will do." Ma Dong said with a few cold snorts.
"During this time, you have been at home taking care of the baby. I am the only one supporting the family. Dad is not in good health and has to go to the hospital every now and then. Our family can't afford it. Find a time to talk to your brother and let them go early."
Ma Dong urged.
Yu Qinglian suddenly became a little angry.
"Ma Dong, why are you so stingy? Why didn't I see you were such a person before we got married? You've only lived here for two days, and I've received a lot of favors from my brother before. Are you still a human being if you chase me away like this?" Yu Qinglian said somewhat unhappily.
Ma Dong coaxed again: "Qinglian, I know you and your brother have a good relationship, but in this society, it costs money to talk about love."
"Our child is born, and we have to spend a lot of money. If I don't plan it out, how are we going to live in the future? I'm thinking about our future." Ma Dong explained with emotion and reason.
Although Yu Qinglian felt that what Ma Dong said was unpleasant, it was indeed what they were facing.
Because my father was often ill, although I had saved a million before, the price of goods has increased by almost five hundred times in the past ten years, and that little savings is no longer worth much.
Now, I am unable to work as I am in confinement, and my husband Ma Dong’s performance has not been very good recently, so his income has been greatly reduced, so our life has become tight.
The sudden addition of a few mouths to feed gave them a complete headache.
But she really couldn't bear to drive Brother Lin and the others away. No matter how she thought about it, Yu Qinglian felt very conflicted.
"Okay, I know you don't want to be the bad guy, so I'll do it." Ma Dong said, patting his chest.
"Honey, this isn't a good idea. I always feel like it's too much." Yu Qinglian still felt uncomfortable.
Ma Dong said earnestly: "Qinglian, you said that we should live a down-to-earth life. You said it yourself. Our current conditions can't support a family of five. Besides, they have lived in our house for a week. They should have left long ago. I don't know where you got the shamelessness from. I really..."
Ma Dong looked unhappy. He was basically the one who had to bear all the expenses at home these days. He had complained about this for a long time and now he finally expressed it out loud.
