Before Old Mrs. Qin left, she quietly left some money for Old Lady Qian.
"Xiangjun, do come and visit when you have time."
Old Mrs. Qin said, "Alright, I won't leave until after the New Year. If you want to talk, you can find me just the same."
"Mmm." Old Lady Qian watched as the family of four walked away before turning around.
"Mom, just now I saw Mrs. Qin slip something into your pocket. Did she leave you money again? It's almost the New Year, and our family doesn't have money to prepare for the holiday goods yet." Old Lady Qian's daughter-in-law, Kan Cui, said while eyeing Old Lady Qian's pocket.
Old Lady Qian reached in and felt a handkerchief with what seemed like money wrapped inside it. "No."
She wouldn't give the money to this daughter-in-law anyway.
Knowing full well the household was strapped for cash, yet the day before, she had sent half a sack of rice back to her parents' home, clearly not considering her husband's family as her own.
