"Amei," Jiang Mei's mother had grown wiser now, refraining from losing her temper immediately. She sighed, "After all, you siblings share deep bonds. With your elder brother and sister-in-law in such a situation, if you didn't have the means, I, as a mother, wouldn't come to ask you for this favor. But now, you don't have a second child in your family, do you? Only Dongzi. Your current husband earns so much more than your former one. If you say you can't help, how can I explain it to your brother and sister-in-law?"
The problem was, she couldn't just splurge the money her husband gave her.
In fact, Zhao Wensheng had a terrible relationship with her mother and elder brother's family. It was a relief they didn't physically fight when they met, let alone give money.
If she had to give money to her parental home, it could only come from her own pocket.
