Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

Chapter 1547 Good Luck Continues (37)
Seeing that both families only wanted Grandpa Li and not Grandma Li, Grandma Li regretted giving Li Qiuyun nine hundred yuan earlier. After all, if others knew that she had so much money, they would definitely want hers.

Now that's the case, I don't have much money left. If I'm forced to take care of the family I've chosen, I definitely won't be happy.

If the person taking care of you is unhappy, they will definitely not take good care of you in the end. When you are in bed, you might end up in a terrible state. She knew this from seeing other elderly people who had been paralyzed by stroke before.

Grandma Li was terrified at the thought of being horribly wrecked, wondering why she hadn't passed away quickly and had to suffer such torment.

Since everyone wanted Grandpa Li, they ended up having to draw lots.

The final result of the lottery was the same as in the original world: the third wife took care of Grandma Li, and the second wife took care of Grandpa Li.

—Because the person the third wife was supposed to take care of was Grandma Li. This was also the reason why the third wife heard that Grandma Li had given all her money to Li Qiuyun and had no money left to make, so she didn't want to take care of her and left her to the second wife.

After the family was assigned to different households, the third branch of the family, no matter how unwilling, had no choice but to take Grandma Li away, and then Grandpa Li was taken care of by the second branch of the family.

Now, a new problem has arisen: who will take care of Grandpa Li?

Actually, even though the third wife was unhappy about taking over Grandma Li's place, it was quite simple for them to take care of her. Since Aunt Li was unemployed and a woman, it was convenient for a woman to take care of another woman. But when it came to the second wife, Grandpa Li was a man. Would the men of the second wife be willing to take care of Grandpa Li? Of course not, so a huge disagreement arose.

Previously, Grandpa Li was always taken care of by Grandma Li, and then Grandpa Li would lend a hand when he was at home. Ding Ping never helped out once. After all, she had only just married into the family when her father-in-law became paralyzed. How could she be expected to take care of him? She didn't want to scare him away, or Grandpa Li would be left without a wife again.

But if Grandma Li doesn't take care of her, the only two people in the family who don't work are Sister-in-law Li.

Expecting Sister-in-law Li to take care of them? That's even more impossible. Generally, taking care of the elderly is the responsibility of their children, not their granddaughters-in-law.

In the end, it was Li's father who discussed with Ding Ping whether Ding Ping could take care of the child.

This was naturally the result of Li Qiuyun and Li Zhiguo's suggestion to Li's father, who said that besides Ding Ping, who else in the family had time to take care of Grandpa Li, so only Ding Ping could do it.

Ding Ping was naturally unwilling. Upon hearing Li's father's words, she knew that Li Qiuyun and Li Zhiguo had most likely instigated him to do so, and she couldn't help but feel unhappy. So she put on a stern face and said, "If it were Grandma Li who I take care of, that would be better. After all, we are both women, so there's nothing inconvenient about it. But Father-in-law is a man, and I'm not his wife. How am I supposed to take care of him? How am I supposed to handle him going to the toilet? How am I supposed to handle his bathing and wiping?"

"I'll give you twenty yuan a month." Mr. Li knew that Ding Ping had just married into the family and was expected to take care of her paralyzed father-in-law. It was impossible for her not to contribute some money. He was afraid of scaring Ding Ping away, so he offered to give her money. This was extremely difficult, since he had said that his money belonged to Li Qiuyun and Li Zhiguo when his wife was still at home, and he wouldn't give a single penny to his wife. Now that Ding Ping was here, he was willing to give her twenty yuan a month. In addition, he also paid for her meals. Mr. Li had already spent a lot of money on Ding Ping every month.

In the original world, Li's mother had a job, but Li's father made her quit to take care of Li's grandfather without giving her a penny. When the original owner returned after the divorce, Li Qiuyun and Li Zhiguo's families even scolded her for eating and drinking for free at home. In this world, Ding Ping doesn't have a job, but Li's father is willing to give her twenty yuan. The way the Li family bullies the original owner and her mother is evident.

Ding Ping was naturally dissatisfied when Li's father offered her twenty yuan. She immediately said, "I'll only do it if you give me fifty yuan. Otherwise, I won't do something so tiring and embarrassing." She had to take care of her son, so she didn't have time to take care of Li's father.

Of course, the main reason is that she has always been used to taking the easy way out and can't endure hardship. She would never take on such a difficult task unless the money is high enough, like the fifty yuan she mentioned.

“I think you should let Cao Li do this. His temporary job only pays about twenty yuan. You can give him the money you gave me. He's a man, so it's more convenient for him.”

Mr. Li thought this made sense. After all, Ding Ping wanted fifty yuan, which he couldn't possibly give her. His salary, after deducting food and drink, was only that much left. Every month, Li Qiuyun and Li Zhiguo would ask him for five or ten yuan every now and then. As a result, he couldn't save fifty yuan a month, not even twenty. If he could come up with twenty yuan, the amount he could give to Li Qiuyun and Li Zhiguo each month would be less.

Therefore, it makes sense to have Cao Li take care of him.

He thought it would be alright for Cao Li to take care of him, since he had said he would give him the same amount of money Cao Li earned at work, but Cao Li still refused.

You should know that in the original world, Li's father did not give Li's mother such a good thing, nor did he tell her that as long as she was willing to take care of Li's grandfather, he would give her as much money as she earned from her job. Even so, he still had the audacity to ask Li's mother to take care of Li's grandfather, and even complained that Li's mother did not take good care of Li's grandfather and Li Zhiguo and others. When the original owner returned from the divorce, he even scolded the original owner for eating and drinking for free.

Therefore, evil people should be tormented by other evil people.

It's normal that Cao Li was unwilling.

Although his job is temporary, he might be able to become a permanent employee if he stays long enough. What if he gets a raise? But if he takes care of Grandpa Li and wants a raise, there will be endless arguments and trouble, and there's no chance of becoming a permanent employee.

Moreover, he was a grown man, unemployed, and staying at home to take care of Grandpa Li. He would lose face if he went out, so naturally he was unwilling.

Cao Li was unwilling, and Li Qiuyun naturally wouldn't force him to agree. After all, all of Li's father's money belonged to her. Since Li's father's money was hers, the twenty yuan he gave her wasn't appealing. Wasn't it the same as her giving Cao Li her own money? Why should she? Why should Li Zhiguo's family provide care while her family did?
Even if both families send someone to take care of him, it's still unfair. After all, wouldn't that mean her family would lose Cao Li's salary? That would be too unfair, since Sister-in-law Li doesn't work either. Even if both of them take care of him, it would still be her family that suffers. So, Li Qiuyun wholeheartedly agrees with Cao Li's refusal to take care of him.

In fact, when Li Qiuyun saw that Grandma Li had also suffered a stroke and become paralyzed, she couldn't help but regret giving Linlang 150 yuan earlier.

You see, the eight hundred yuan that Grandma Li gave her before was stolen, so Grandma Li gave her another hundred yuan this time. Fearing that something else might happen, she quickly gave it to Linlang.

If she had known that Grandma Li would suffer a stroke and become paralyzed so soon, she definitely wouldn't have given Linlang any more money. After all, there was one less person living in the house, and the house was big enough. There was no need to give Li Linlang any money and make her vacate the house.

She was already feeling bad about the money she had lost, so when she saw Li's father using her money to pay Cao Li to take care of Grandpa Li, which meant she would lose Cao Li's salary, she naturally wouldn't agree.

Her family was unwilling, and then Li Zhiguo and his wife were also unwilling, saying that the money of Li's father belonged to both of their families, and that since he had given Li Qiuyun and her husband twenty yuan a month, not giving it to them would harm their family's interests, so they were unwilling.
