"Hubby, I don't object to mom taking care of the money, but she can't lower the quality of our family's life," Chen Li complained.
"That's right, that's right. Our family's life has finally improved a little. Aren't we working so hard just to make our family's conditions better? But even though our salary has doubled and our life seems to be even more miserable than before, then what are we after?"
Yun Xi saw the couple talking at the side and followed them, agreeing with them.
Yun Shan was rendered speechless by the words of these two people. The words of these two women were reasonable, and he, as a man, had no way to refute them.
In the end, Yun Shan was helpless and decided to reason with the Old Madam, but the Old Madamhad already put the money into the drawer.
"Mom, the food today was really too light. Look at the children, they are not used to it," Yun Shan complained.
"Look at you. You are already over forty years old, why are you still acting like children?! You are now living in the city, not in the countryside ... You should live a more decent life, you should at least buy a piece of household appliances for your family, right?! I'm just helping you to save up money to buy some big practical things. As for the children, I'll let them suffer a little now. When the conditions are better in the future, it's still not too late to make whatever they want to eat," the Old Madam said.
"Sigh." Yun Shan sighed heavily.
"It just so happens that you're here today. I have something else to tell you."
The Old Madam took out the account book again and pointed at some of the accounts on the account book, "Yun Xi is a girl. Sooner or later, she will be married off. Your wife gave her 30 yuan for one month's pocket money as a girl. You have to know that this 30 yuan is enough to cover the expenses of a rural family for nearly two months. She, a little girl, actually spent it all in a month."
The Old Madam did not like Yun Xi, so she naturally did not like her spending money.
"The children are currently studying, and some of them are for stationery expenses," Yun Shan explained to the Old Madam.
......
"Hmph." The Old Madam sneered.
"I'm not a fool. Yun Lian is also studying in high school, but I've never heard of her spending 30 yuan a month on stationery. Why are your children so special? Besides, what kind of stationery costs 30 yuan a month? Is it gilded? It's just that you, as a parent, don't educate Yun Xi properly and let her spend money indiscriminately. That's not acceptable!"
The Old Madam continued to scold.
"But it's not that I don't want to give the children their monthly allowance. It just so happens that you're here today. Call the two children over and give them some allowance."
The Old Madam saw that her son's expression was getting uglier and uglier. In order to have a chance to manage money in the future, she quickly changed the topic.
Taking advantage of the time when Yun Shan was out, she was calculating in her heart how much money to give the two children as allowance. It would be better.
Yun Shan could only listen to the Old Madam's instructions and call the two children into the master bedroom.
"Yun Xi, Yun Yang, from now on, the two of you will receive your pocket money from Grandma."
Seeing the two children walk in, the Old Madam carefully opened the drawer. She took out seven Yuan from it.
"Yun Yang, this two yuan is for you. Yun Xi, this five yuan is for you. In the future, if you can make do with stationery, you can continue to use it. If you can't use it, you can buy new ones. Also, you don't have to buy special quality ones."
The Old Madam's mouth was extremely chatty. In the end, she even instructed the children not to buy anything of special quality.
When Yun Yang saw the money, he happily kept it.
"Then, if I have used up these two dollars, can I still come over to grandmother's place to get more?"
Yun Yang blinked his innocent eyes and asked Yunshan.
Previously, Chen Li had given Yun Xi an entire month's worth of pocket money in one go. However, Yun Yang was still young and Chen Li was afraid that this child would lose the money. Chen Li would always give him two or three dollars each time. When Yun Yang had used up these two or three dollars, he could ask Chen Li again.
