Chapter 979: Plan
“You are part of our family, and me and our parents raised you, so you should repay us. Yes, those were the words I said, but I had no other choice! We are a poor family who can’t afford medical treatment. You don’t want your parents to be burdened with any debt, do you?” Shen Tai’s brother said reasonably.
Having said this, he also could tell that Shen Tai was not willing to leave.
He noticed that the clinic looked filled with money, so he replied. “I will never let you stay here and work for free, but…”
Shen Tai’s brother glanced at Gu Chaoyan.
“But if you are paid, you can stay. If you aren’t, you better go home and continue with your labor work!” Shen Tai’s brother said.
Hearing his words, Shen Tai became even more annoyed.
He had always been devoted to his family, and the efforts he had made should be counted as his repayment to them, for he had never taken anything from his family after working for them for over a decade.
What he wanted to do right now was to pay his gratitude.
“Brother, I am already 20 years old, and you don’t have a say about what I decide to do. Since I already made up my mind that I want to repay my gratitude, that will be what I do, so stop trying to figure out a plan.” Shen Tai replied.
Shen Tai’s sister-in-law didn’t seem happy when she heard his words. “That is not a plan! Yes, you are working hard these years, but what about in the future? You and your brother are both men, and we need to help our parents when they are old. You aren’t thinking about leaving them to me, are you? Shen Tai, it is you who is making plans!”
…
Shen Tai’s face turned totally red, as he heard what his sister-in-law said.
His brother had gotten the family’s land, so it should be his brother who supported the parents when they became old. Shen Tai would not leave their parents behind, of course, but his brother had already been given so much more, so he should make more efforts.
Now his brother had gotten all the good things…
Even if Shen Tai had a good temper, he still did not think that it was a fair decision.
“I will definitely support my parents when they are old, but sister-in-law, you better not talk as if you were not responsible. I have my own plan regarding how to support them, and if you don’t want to support our parents, that is fine too, give the land back to them, and I will support them to the end of their days!” Shen Tai replied....
When Shen Tai’s sister-in-law heard that she was asked to return the land, she got so annoyed that she started to shout like a crazy woman.
Gu Chaoyan frowned. She got very annoyed hearing those small family affairs.
If not for Shen Tai, she would have moved those people out of the room already.
Hearing the conversation, she believed that Shen Tai was a nice man. He might be a bit timid, but he was a man who had his own principles. He was insisting on his own ideas.
One, he intended to express his gratitude, and two, he was even willing to support his parents that favored his brother.
These two points were already enough in her eyes. At least, he was qualified enough to work for Xinlin Clinic. Therefore, she decided to help Shen Tai.
Gu Chaoyan looked at Shen Tai’s brother and his wife, asking, “If Shen Tai is working for me here, how much do you want to get from him?”
The couple, who had been blaming and scolding Shen Tai for desiring the family’s land… suddenly, had their eyes widened hearing about the potential payment.
They ceased fighting.
This woman manager of Xinlin Clinic, who was running a clinic in the capital, must be very rich.
Shen Tai’s brother and sister-in-law kept thinking about a solution.
They were trying to remember how much those workers from the village were paid when they were working in the capital.
