In the book, the female supporting role dreams of being an idle fish

"Okay." Jiang Xiu first applied medicine to Huaibei, and then asked Huaibei to look after Huaixi.

I was about to go to the kitchen to help, but my sister-in-law Gu Lixia had already prepared the meal.

"I'm back." This is Huainan who came back alone.

"When Huainan was a child, he was always grateful that he didn't wear shoes in vain, because he would always come home just in time for dinner."

"For lunch today, the third brother will have a steamed egg. We'll have rice, stir-fried bok choy, and shredded potatoes with vinegar."

After Jiang Wen came back with water, the family sat down and started eating, and Jiang Wen finished first.

"After dinner, it's Huainan's turn to clean up. Practice slowly, you'll be the one who takes charge of the family in the future."

"When you came back, your aunt, who was your age, was already the head of the family. She cooked, cleaned the house, and did sewing and mending. Other than that, I helped with the laundry."

Jiang Huainan didn't want to do it, and muttered, "But I didn't have to do it before, I was a boy."

Jiang Wen started to get upset. He had originally planned to let Huainan take his time, but now he was really angry. "You can skip meals. After summer vacation, when Huaibei goes to school, you two can take turns. Huaibei, are you up for it?"

"I do it. I'm a good kid. Yesterday I wanted to carry the vegetable basket, but my aunt wouldn't let me."

Jiang Wen was very satisfied with Jiang Huaibei's attitude. "Next year, we will take you there and you can go shopping for groceries by yourself."

Then he said to Jiang Huainan, "Before, your father had free time. Didn't your father work? In the past, your aunt and I felt sorry for my father, your grandfather, and the third child. That's why we didn't let you do it. We are just uncles and aunts. If you have ambition, don't eat. It's up to you."

"Brother, let me go wash." Jiang Xiu tried to smooth things over.

"You've been in Huaibei and Huaixi all morning, go and take a rest." Jiang Wen sent Jiang Xiu away.

"Bring the third child to your house. You took care of him for two hours, and your aunt took care of him for the whole morning, without saying anything. Haven't your aunt and I taken care of him enough since he was born? Can't you see?"

Jiang Wen was completely angry, partly because his nephew was already 9 years old and had no idea about the current situation at home.

You are already half an adult, why are you unwilling to wash pots and dishes?

Another reason was what Gu Lixia said, that she resented him for breaking his leg.

I didn't believe it at first.

After all, the child is still young and is our family member.

But it was just washing dishes, something that wouldn't take ten minutes, and yet this kid had this attitude. "When you came back, you were the same age as Huaibei is now. You figure it out for yourself."

No one took action and everyone returned to their own rooms. Jiang Xiu did not dare to take the third child with her.

Jiang Huainan stubbornly refused to wash the pots and dishes, and even asked about Huaibei's injuries. "Huaibei, what happened to you today?"

"I fell down by myself. There were rocks on the ground." Jiang Huaibei was still young and didn't understand what this meant. "Brother, aren't you going to wash the dishes?"

"No, why should I? I'm not the only one eating this." Jiang Huainan insisted on not washing the dishes.

"Then I'll go. I can wash the dishes too." Jiang Huaibei said as he was about to go downstairs.

"I'll go too." Jiang Huaixi also spoke.

"No one is allowed to go." Jiang Huainan was unhappy and shouted loudly to his two younger brothers.

"All of Dad's compensation must be given to me. I am the eldest in our family. Grandpa's money should be divided equally between us. Why did Second Uncle hide all the money?"

"But where would you put it if I gave it to you? If you put it at home, what if we're all at school or work and someone comes in and steals it?" Jiang Huaibei didn't quite understand his eldest brother's idea. After all, it wouldn't be lost if he kept it with his second uncle.

Jiang Huainan felt that his two younger brothers were extremely stupid and had no idea how to protect their family's property.

"Second Uncle is holding back this money because he wants to tell us that we've spent it all when we grow up. He just wants to pocket all that money for himself."

After hearing what his eldest brother said, Jiang Huaibei was the first to disagree. After all, he was already six years old and had only had memories for two or three years.

"Nonsense. I don't remember much when Mom was alive. But when Dad and Grandpa were alive, whenever Second Uncle bought something, he would share it with the three of us and Auntie. He wouldn't even eat it himself."

Jiang Huainan also admitted that his second uncle treated them very well at that time. But everyone told him that the human heart is unpredictable.

"You also said that, that was when Dad was alive. Now that Dad is gone, they took the money away. When we grow up, we definitely won't have a penny. I'm better off. They signed the guarantee letter, so I can take over. What about you and my third brother?"

Jiang Huaibei didn't believe his eldest brother, "You really think too much. When Dad and Grandpa were alive, Grandpa's job was to be given to Second Uncle. Second Uncle said he wanted my aunt to go to work while he went to the countryside."

"Since you want this money, just ask Second Uncle directly. Let's go and talk to Second Uncle now. Anyway, I must leave it with Second Uncle."

After saying that, he turned to the third brother and said, "Third brother, where's yours?"

"Just like you, leave it with Second Uncle."

After hearing his brother's request, Jiang Huaibei thought his brother was a sensible person. "Okay, let's go over and call out my aunt, uncle, and aunt."

Jiang Huaibei came out and called his aunt first, "Aunt, big brother has something to say. Please get up and go to the main room."

"Second uncle, second aunt..." Jiang Wen responded before Jiang Huaibei finished speaking. After all, the yard was only this big, and he had heard it a long time ago.

"Get up immediately. I don't know what's going on in Huainan." Gu Lixia and Jiang Wen had just laid down when they got up again.

The whole family sat in the main room.

Jiang Huainan took the initiative to state his demands, "My father's compensation is 6000, and my grandfather's compensation is 8000. I want to get my own money and keep it for myself."

Jiang Xiu opened her mouth to persuade, "Huainan, now your second uncle is just saving it for you. When you grow up, I will definitely give it to you. This aunt can promise you."

Huaibei interrupted, "Mine and the third brother's are kept with Second Uncle, right, third brother?"

"Yes."

Huaibei and Huaixi gave Jiang Xiu some comfort, but for Jiang Xiu.

Huainan is also very important.

……

"Okay, you can take 2000 from your father, and your grandfather's 8000 will be used to ensure I get married, and your aunt gets married, so there will be 7000 left."

"Your family will get 3500, and 500 will be considered as my friendship price for taking care of you until you grow up. You can take 1000. I'll give you a total of 3000. Is that okay with you?"

"Okay." Jiang Huainan nodded in agreement.

"Lixia, go get the money. Now that we've laid it all out in the open, I don't think your father's job will be mine in the future. I'm only taking over your second aunt's current job."

"But I don't plan to let your aunt go to the countryside."
