Chapter 19: The Insurmountable Generation Gap

Xu Na's words did not persuade Xu's father.

Xu's father also had his own insistence, "How can this work? I agree. He is a relative. Even if we spend more money on our family, we can't use other people's."

"You promised the person Hu Xingwei first contacted you. If you don't spend money, what's wrong with your relatives? If you don't spend money, you have to spend money on his. This is not the same thing at all. If his family really has difficulties, you can use money to help him. Now someone will sow you for free. You don't need to spend money on supporting your relatives." The subtext below clearly shows: Isn't this a disease?

Xu Na continued, "Didn't you tell me about this?"

"What did I say to him about our family? I didn't say anything."

Judging from her father's attitude, she didn't listen to what she said.

Such things are not the same once or twice. For example, the grains that were farmed and sold in the past three years were collected by Uncle Eight. Uncle Seven and Uncle Eight belonged to the family, and the brothers of Uncle Xu’s uncle.

There was no payment for rice money for three years. Xu Na said that Xu's father always said that he would give it to him early if he had money, and he would not have it even if he had no money.

As a result, every year when he had no money to farm, Xu's father began to force Xu's mother to borrow money. Xu Na couldn't bear to see where his mother went to borrow money, so in the end, Xu Na paid for farming every year, and Xu's father's money to sell grain was always owed.

Xu Na is so good-natured that she is very angry because of this.

When Hu Xingwei mentioned his parents, he frowned. Xu Na understood that it was more because of her father, who lived a lifetime of face and always felt wronged.

"Don't worry about this, I know the family's affairs." Xu's father saw his daughter silent and knew that she was unhappy. He also made the same sense. "In the past few years, as long as our family has a job, your seventh uncle will come to help immediately. How expensive is labor now? People don't want a penny, why? It's not because they are relatives? You think simple. There are always people who come and go back and forth in this relative and neighborhood. You don't understand these."

"Yes, yes, what you said is reasonable." Xu Na did not argue anymore, but thought in her heart that she would never care about this matter again, while urging her daughter to wash her hands and have a meal.

When Xu's mother heard the meal, she said, "Tonight, stew fish, call your uncle Houtun and ask if he had eaten or not. She would come and eat it."

"You miss your third brother if you want anything you want every day. The food is better than ours, so you can calm down." Xu's father was unhappy.

Xu's mother was not angry, "San'er and his wife went out to work. The third brother was the only one in the family, and they were blind. They were over seventy years old. How much could they eat? You must be afraid of eating too much, so I will give it to my third brother."

"Okay, okay, then call me, I won't stop me." Although Xu's father complained a few times, he did not stop me.
