Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

Chapter 1548 Good Luck Continues (38)
There's a reason why Li Zhiguo and his wife were unwilling for Li's father to give Cao Li more than twenty yuan to take care of Li's grandfather. Like Li Qiuyun, they both felt that Li's father's money belonged to them. Under this premise, if Li's father gave money to Cao Li's family, it would be equivalent to their family giving money to Cao Li. Naturally, they felt they were being taken advantage of and were unwilling to accept it. After all, in their view, they had no obligation to support their grandfather, so why should they pay for it?

—This is truly a dead end. There's nothing they can do. They've started treating Li's father's money as their own, not his, so no matter how much money Li's father spends, they're unwilling to accept it.

This is also why, in the original world, they made Li's mother quit her job to take care of Li's grandfather without giving her a single penny. In Li Qiuyun and Li Zhiguo's eyes, Li's father's money belonged to them, and they had no obligation to take care of Li's grandfather, so naturally they didn't have to pay any money. In other words, Li's father didn't have to give Li's mother any money.

Under the same premise, when the original owner returned and ate and drank for free, they felt that she had eaten their food and were therefore unhappy.

Ultimately, it all boils down to selfishness.

They knew the money belonged to Li's father. Li's father only said that the future property would be divided equally between the two families, but he didn't say that he couldn't control his own money now. But in the eyes of those two families, Li's father's money was theirs, and Li's father had no right to control his own money. Even though Li's father paid money to take care of his grandfather, they didn't pay any money and felt that they were being taken advantage of.

Upon hearing what Li Zhiguo and his wife said, Li Qiuyun wanted to roll her eyes and scold them: "Don't worry, Cao Li has no interest in taking care of Grandpa at all! He has a job and can earn more than twenty yuan, so why would he care about this? But since your family is making such a fuss, I'll put it this way: you think that Dad is giving my son Cao Li twenty yuan to take care of Grandpa, and you're not happy about it, but if Dad asks my eldest cousin's wife to take care of Grandpa and gives you twenty yuan, I won't be happy either, since that's exactly what you've been doing."

It didn't matter if Cao Li didn't want to take care of him; the key was not to let Sister-in-law Li benefit from it. She wasn't stupid; it wouldn't be worthwhile for Cao Li to take care of him. Sister-in-law Li didn't have a job, so if she could get paid for taking care of Grandpa Li, it would be worthwhile. Therefore, she naturally wanted to stop Li Zhiguo and his wife from applying to Li's father to take care of Grandpa Li.

Li Zhiguo and his wife were naturally unhappy to hear Li Qiuyun's words, because Li Zhiguo really intended to have Li's sister-in-law take care of Li's grandfather. He thought that since Li's sister-in-law was unemployed, she could do this kind of thing. However, while he said he was taking care of Li's grandfather, he actually wanted to get more money from Li's father in a roundabout way. As for taking care of him, he would just do it casually.

But Li Qiuyun exposed their plan at this moment. What she said was exactly what they had done before, so they couldn't say anything now.

If she doesn't get the money, then Sister-in-law Li definitely won't take care of Grandpa Li anymore.

Now that's a problem. Cao Li doesn't want to take care of Grandpa Li, Ding Ping doesn't want to either, and the others are even less willing. So who will take care of Grandpa Li?
This is not something they can delay, because Grandpa Li needs someone to take care of him all the time. If they don't make a decision and continue to discuss it, no one will take care of Grandpa Li, and he will make the house stink if he needs to relieve himself frequently.

Li Qiuyun and Li Zhiguo suggested that Grandpa Li take out money to hire someone to take care of him. The reason they made this suggestion was that Grandpa Li's money might not necessarily belong to Li's father. In the future, it might end up in their hands and become Uncle Li's money.

Since the money might not end up in their hands, wouldn't it be perfect to use it to hire someone to take care of things? It would save them trouble, as long as it doesn't cost them their money.

They're not worried about the third branch of the family finding out they're using Grandpa Li's retirement money. They'll just keep quiet and say it's Li's father's money. Who would know then? Anyway, Grandpa Li is living with them now, so he definitely won't say anything, lest they mistreat him later. Uncle Li's auditing is useless. If things really get really bad, then they can just switch caregivers.

It was good to find out that Grandpa Li had a pension before, but now it seems that Grandma Li is also good, at least she's a woman, so the women in the family can take care of her, which is convenient.

If Uncle Li San makes a fuss about this, he'll be the one who gets the trouble.

They didn't know that Grandpa Li had previously given 500 yuan to Li Zhiguo and Uncle Li, and didn't have much money left. They made this suggestion because they thought Grandpa Li had a lot of money.

It's no wonder they think that way, mainly because Grandpa Li not only has a pension, but also the filial piety of his father and uncle. Logically speaking, he should be able to save a lot of money.

But actually, that's not the case at all. Before, Grandpa Li gave up his job to Li Zhiguo, and in order to compensate the third family, Grandpa Li took out a large sum of money to compensate them.

He had finally managed to save some money over the past ten years, but then he took out 500 yuan and gave it to three families. Where would he get any money left? Of course, the main reason was that Grandma Li had taken a lot of money from him, so after taking out those two large sums of money, he didn't have any extra money.

In addition, to compensate them for not helping Li Zhiguo take care of the children, but not the children of the third wife, Grandpa Li gave Uncle Li some money. As a result, Uncle Li not only did not give them any of his pension money, but Grandpa Li also had to give Uncle Li money out of his own pocket. In addition to the elderly couple's expenses and Grandma Li's continued exploitation, it is normal that Grandpa Li did not save much of his pension.

At this moment, Li Zhiguo and Li Qiuyun suggested that Grandpa Li use his retirement pension to hire someone to take care of him. Li's father was embarrassed to bring it up, but he agreed in his heart. There was no other way, as Li Zhiguo and Li Qiuyun both said that his money was theirs and they were unwilling to use it to hire someone, so they could only use Grandpa Li's money.

Mr. Li was a man who listened to both his grandparents and Li Qiuyun and Li Zhiguo. Now that his grandfather had suffered a stroke and was paralyzed, he could basically ignore his words. So, he naturally listened to Li Qiuyun and Li Zhiguo. Therefore, he couldn't speak up about this matter himself, so he asked Li Zhiguo and Li Qiuyun to tell his grandfather about it.

Although Grandpa Li was paralyzed from a stroke and his speech was somewhat affected, he could still speak slowly. When he heard what Li Qiuyun and Li Zhiguo said, he was naturally furious. After all, wasn't it only natural for the second wife to take care of him? A whole group of people couldn't spare a single person to take care of him, and he had to pay for someone to take care of him himself. How could Grandpa Li not be angry?

You should know that Grandma Li lives in the third branch of the family, so it's definitely the people in the third branch who take care of her. She doesn't need to pay to hire someone to take care of her. The reason for this certainty is that Grandma Li doesn't have a pension and doesn't have much money on hand, so she can't afford to hire anyone.

The third wife was willing to take care of the old man, but the second wife was not, and he even had to pay for someone to take care of him himself. How could Grandpa Li not be angry? Thinking back, I really didn't realize that Li's father, who was so filial, was actually this kind of person.
