Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

Chapter 1525 Good Luck Continues (14)
Grandma Li didn't dare to utter a single word after hearing Aunt Li's insults.

Ever since Li Qiuyun's money was stolen and she made a scene, Grandma Li knew she would be targeted by her youngest son's family and Li Zhiguo's family. She was mentally prepared, so she just let Aunt Li scold her without saying a word, lest she make Aunt Li even angrier and cause a big argument.

She didn't want to make a scene and become a laughing stock for the other families in the yard. After all, her family had already been the butt of jokes several times recently, and she couldn't afford to be laughed at again.

Grandma Li thought that if she kept quiet, the matter would be over, but how could that be? Seeing that Grandma Li was pretending to be dead, Aunt Li said, "Don't think that you can get away with this by not saying anything. If you don't give us eight hundred yuan, we won't leave. If I find out that you are being biased like this again, we won't take care of your elderly care anymore. Go find the second son."

Although the family has separated, and Grandpa Li and Grandma Li live with Li's father, according to regulations, the two brothers must pay a sum of money for their retirement every month. Although it is not much, it is still required. When Grandpa Li and Grandma Li are sick, the two families take turns taking care of them.

If Uncle Li's family really washes their hands of the matter and refuses to take responsibility, then Li's mother and Linlang will be in big trouble.

Why did Uncle Li's family shirk their responsibilities? It's not Li's father who's unlucky, but Li's mother and Linlang who are unlucky!
The reason is extremely simple.

Although Li's father doesn't give Li's mother money, when Li's grandparents are sick, unless it happens to be his day off, he will make Li's mother take care of them. His reason is that he has to work and can't leave, while Li's mother's job pays low wages and it doesn't matter if she takes time off.

The original owner didn't want her mother to work too hard, so she helped out when she saw Li's mother taking care of her. But if that happened to Linlang now, wouldn't Linlang be the one in trouble?

Of course, Linlang would never take care of her. In fact, she didn't even want Li's mother to take care of her, after all, what kind of person was Li's father? He outsourced his filial piety.

If Li's mother were given money to take care of him, she could be considered a caregiver, which would be acceptable. The problem is that Li's father doesn't give his mother any money, yet he expects her to take care of him. Why should she do that?

So next time something happens to Grandpa and Grandma Li, Linlang won't let Li's mother take care of them. She can already foresee what Li's father will say. He'll definitely say something like, "My job pays well, it's not worth taking time off. Can't you even take care of them for a bit? Why is the whole family so petty?"

When it came to the matter of wages, he didn't give Li's mother a single penny. At this point, he stopped mentioning that the family shouldn't be so calculating, since if he wasn't calculating, why wouldn't he give his wages to Li's mother?

Besides, his high salary means nothing to Linlang as long as he doesn't give it to Li's mother. In fact, he might even give more money to Li Qiuyun and Li Zhiguo because he saves more money. On the contrary, if Li's mother takes leave, her salary will decrease, which will also harm her interests. So, if Li's mother takes care of Li's grandparents on behalf of Li's father, the more Li's father earns, the less friendly he will be to Linlang. She must be a fool to let Li's mother take care of them.

So now that Linlang saw Aunt Li's warning about taking care of her in old age, she was already thinking about how to take Aunt Li's mother away as soon as possible, because she knew that Aunt Li's warning about taking care of her in old age was not fake, but that she would really carry it out - in the original world, Aunt Li later found out that Grandma Li had given Li Qiuyun eight hundred yuan, and in the end she quit.

Li's father, using the excuse of needing to work every day, neglected to care for his parents, leaving the responsibility of caring for them to fall on Li's mother, who received no money whatsoever. Li's mother, being a person of that era, probably believed that a daughter-in-law should care for her in-laws, so she took leave without hesitation to care for Li's grandparents, never considering that not earning money would harm the original owner's interests. Originally, Li's father wouldn't give any money to the original owner, only to Li Qiuyun and Li Zhiguo. He had agreed that Li's mother's money belonged to the original owner, but in the end, he made Li's mother care for his parents without giving her a single penny—this was indirectly taking advantage of the original owner.

As for Li's mother, she was a bit naive and obediently served as the Li family's free caregiver. You see, if it weren't for Li's mother taking care of him, not to mention that Li's father couldn't take care of himself and wouldn't be able to earn money without working, at least they would have to hire a caregiver to take care of Li's grandparents, which would have cost a lot of money. At the same time, since Li's mother didn't take care of Li's parents, she could go to work and earn money, and the original owner of this body could also get more money.

With this exchange, Li Zhiguo and Li Qiuyun will lose a large sum of money, while the original owner of this body will gain more.

Unfortunately, Li's mother was too foolish. Although she was wholeheartedly devoted to her daughter, she was so foolish as not to consider her daughter's feelings in this matter, and ended up doing all the work for someone else.

So in this life, Linlang wants to take Li's mother with her to take care of Li's grandparents who are paralyzed by a stroke. In the future, both Li's grandparents will be paralyzed by a stroke, and they will not die immediately. Instead, they will live in bed for more than ten years. Li's mother will take care of the two of them and will not be well taken care of. The two of them will often scold Li's mother and say that she is not good to them. When people come, they will say that their daughter-in-law is abusing them. They are really getting worse as they get older. Linlang does not want Li's mother to suffer like this.

I don't know if Li's mother would be willing to divorce. To be honest, there's absolutely no need for Li's mother to stay in the Li family. After all, Li's father doesn't give her a penny, so what's the point of her staying?

Don't say that the groceries at home were bought by Li's father, so that Li's mother doesn't have to spend money on groceries. If Li's mother were to make a profit, you have to understand that at this time, resources were scarce, and the money spent on groceries was really a small amount, because normally you couldn't buy many vegetables. What you ate most was staple food, and staple food required food coupons. Naturally, Li's mother's food coupons had to be handed over. After all, these coupons were made according to the population. If she didn't hand them over, Li's father's coupons alone would definitely not be enough.

Not only grain coupons, but also meat coupons, oil coupons, cloth coupons, and the like had to be handed over. The family would pool their resources for use, and all of these were money that could be transferred to others for cash.

The amount of ration coupons that Li's mother handed in alone was more than enough to buy groceries. After all, she paid a lot, but she ate little. Male laborers like Li's father, Li Zhiguo, and Li's grandfather ate much more, but they paid about the same amount of ration coupons. Adults' monthly ration coupons for food, oil, and meat were basically fixed, regardless of gender. So, since Li's mother ate less, she was naturally taken advantage of. Moreover, she only ate breakfast and dinner at home, so how much could she possibly spend?

In addition, it's not that Li's mother doesn't spend money on the family; sometimes she spends money on groceries and other necessities, which adds up to even more money.

Not to mention that in the future, Grandpa Li and Grandma Li will have to take care of Grandma Li for more than ten years without working or earning money, and they will be scolded every day. Who would want to stay there? It would be so upsetting.

In other words, what Li's mother received and what she gave were completely unequal. Staying in the Li family was just being taken advantage of, and there was no need for her to stay at all.

Well, if Li's mother is old-fashioned and unwilling to divorce, Linlang can use the dream prop to play the story of how Li's mother was scolded by her grandparents every day in her previous life while taking care of them, and how people would come to complain that she abused them. She can also put aside the fact that Li's mother was unemployed and unable to earn money, and that she couldn't help her daughter because of her own miserable life. Linlang doesn't believe that Li's mother is not moved at all by seeing her daughter's miserable situation.
