Madam Liu nodded repeatedly. "Exactly. Your second uncle and second aunt don't have much ability, and they can't help the family with much. As for that little bit of farm work, how could it possibly wear them out?"
They were honest people, but that didn't mean they could be bullied without a shred of guilt.
"Second Uncle, Second Aunt, don't be so modest. I've seen everything your branch of the family has done over the years. I was immature before and didn't have much ability, so I made you worry about me quite a lot."
"From now on, whenever there's anything I can help with, just tell me. I'll do my best to make it up to you and repay you."
Madam Liu was so moved that tears welled in her eyes. She wiped the corners of them. "Child, what are you talking about, repaying us? We're family. Do family members really need to quibble over so much?"
"Exactly, there's no need to repay us."
Su Huai'an wasn't good with words, so he could only echo his wife.
Su Qiao turned to the old man, whose face was full of gratification. "Grandpa, we're family, so this money naturally belongs to the family fund. However, I have a small suggestion I'd like to discuss with you."
Hearing this, Su Yaohui and Zhou Lihua both looked at Su Qiao, their eyes carrying a hint of anticipation.
The old man saw their expressions and felt somewhat disappointed.
He had initially blamed them, thinking that his eldest daughter-in-law had influenced his eldest son. Now it seemed that wasn't the case at all.
Sigh!
He was to blame too. He had spoiled his son so much that he had actually turned him into such a selfish person—not even as good as a fourteen-year-old girl.
Sigh!
