Chapter 81 - 80 Shameless
Cai Meina is growing increasingly frustrated with her family’s greed, yet she’s even more worried that her husband might relent.
Lately, they’ve been making quite a bit of money; what if her husband decided to be generous?
Luckily, her husband isn’t that dense, "Don’t worry, I won’t give them anything. I’ll just pretend I never received these letters."
Cai Meina decided to act as though she hadn’t seen these letters. After all, they are considered problematic elements, and correspondence is subject to review, so lost mail isn’t unusual.
"Mom, should we keep these letters?" Gong Ruini thought they should keep these letters as evidence of how shameless their grandparents and parents were.
The important thing is, it seems like these letters were written by the head of the family. If they later claim that Gong Tao is unfilial, these things can strip them of their dignity.
No matter how much they want a son to be filial to his parents, is there such a shameless request?
Keep them? Cai Meina’s initial thought was to treat them as if they hadn’t been received, so naturally, they shouldn’t keep them. But why did her daughter suggest keeping them?
Zhan Jing snapped out of the Gong and Cai families’ shamelessness and wholeheartedly supported Gong Ruini’s suggestion, "It’s leverage. If anyone accuses you of being unfilial, you can counter—it’s not that you’re unfilial, but that you can’t be."
"Come next year before the New Year, send them some money and tell them you’ve finally earned some work points after being in the Northeast for over a year, saved from what little you could."
