Chapter 279: Fight Back from Yao Yao (3)
The lady was named Miao Cuilan. She was stunned by Jiang Yingqiu’s words.
That meant she could accept if her daughter-in-law would not be willing to raise the two nephews.
This…
Miao Cuilan regretted her decision.
She had a pretty daughter and always wanted to marry her daughter to a good family. So she could enjoy her life in the future.
She wanted her daughter to be married to a man from the city. However, her whole family were farmers. None of them knew anyone from the city. There was no way for her daughter to find someone there.
Since the city was not an option anymore, she wanted to find a good family here.
The Jiang family was the best here.
Jiang Feng was the brigade leader and his sons were very capable. However, all of them were married and had children. The youngest child was a few years old now.
The Gu family was not bad as well.
In Miao Cuilan’s perspective, though the Gu family was a landlord family, the few grandchildren all worked outside. If her daughter married any of them, she could follow them to the city and did not have to stay in the countryside.
However, she still could accept the background of the Gu family.
Mo Beihan was another person who worked outside.
The Mo family was living a harsh life in the past. Jiang Yingqiu’s husband ran away and her eldest son passed away. She had to raise children by herself. They almost starved to death.
She was not very old but was full of illnesses. She fell sick every autumn and needed people to take care of her.
No one knew how much was Mo Beihan’s salary though he worked outside. Many workers in the factory earned about 30 to 40 yuan per month. It was considered as a high pay if the salary was above 40 yuan. Most people thought that Mo Beihan’s salary was at that standard.
Mo Beihan worked outside when he was still quite young. His starting pay must be quite low. Only until these recent two years the Mo family’s condition slowly improved.
The Mo family’s status was not good. The family had two boys and a sick person to take care of. They renovated their house two years ago. Mo Beihan’s savings must all be spent.
But he was very good at hunting. The family could have a few meals with meat when he was back.
In fact, in the beginning, everyone really did not think the Mo family had much money. After all, the impression from the past was deep in everyone’s mind. Jiang Linshi showed off to everyone that Mo Beihan earned a lot of money.
She showed off Mo Beihan’s ability to make money to everyone, and even preached that he was their Jiang family’s child.
With Mo Beihan’s conditions, it should be no problem to take his wife to the city and start their own small family. But Jiang Yingqiu and the two children would be a burden.
Without Mo Beihan, Jiang Yingqiu would definitely not be able to support these two children. Everyone believed that Jiang Yingqiu would never let her future daughter-in-law be in charge. She would let her daughter-in-law take care of the entire family.
The future daughter-in-law must take care of her own child, two nephews and sick mother-in-law. The person would be a maid in the family.
Most of the families were not willing to accept that.
Miao Cuilan was one of them.
She wanted her daughter to marry Mo Beihan but did not wish to take care of Jiang Yingqiu and the two children.
However, based on what Jiang Yingqiu just said, it seemed that she could accept her daughter-in-law not willing to take care of them.
