"Mom, we were too busy and didn't get a chance to tell you," Ji Ying didn't want to argue over such a trivial matter.
And besides, who cares whose chilies we buy?
My eldest son just got married, my younger son is still going to university, and my daughter is also looking to get married. We initially split the household because we couldn't bear it any longer.
But now, to argue with my mother-in-law over a little nothing — if word got out, it would sound terrible.
Ji Ying, smiling beamingly, had brought in a daughter-in-law after splitting from the family. Although they were in debt, selling bean sprouts every day could make them a few bucks, and saving up over a month, a hundred or so dollars was not a problem at all.
Also, with the Chili Sauce Factory they had recently set up, she wanted to improve the factory and, in the future, not to mention making a few thousand, at least making a hundred or so dollars should be achievable, right?
