Reincarnation in the 60s: My Spatial Supermarket Brings Forth Wealth-Chapter 343 - 341: Moral Blackmail?

"Yes! They were held back because of their lack of education! It’s such a pity!" Xiao Xue continued along with her grandma’s words, "Nowadays, everything depends on qualifications. Without education, it’s really tough! By the way, Grandma, the youngest cousin brother and sister might still have time to go to school. If nothing else, we should send them to study!"

Li Xiuying choked a bit, "They are already over ten years old. Is it too late to start schooling now?"

Xiao Xue touched her nose, "It’s a bit late, but still better than the older cousins. If necessary, I can help find a school! They need a future no matter what! At least if they can read, they could get into some factory or something!"

She knew what her grandma was up to, but they didn’t want to count her grandma’s face with the uncles, otherwise, how upset her mom would be.

"Does getting into a factory require qualifications too? So troublesome?" Li Xiuying didn’t understand much about it. "Didn’t your dad, and also your uncle and aunt, not need qualifications? Your dad didn’t even go to elementary school, yet he became some sort of... leader!"

Xiao Xue couldn’t help but laugh, "Grandma, that was because there were job recruitment quotas, and my dad did labor work. Also, can the Capital City be compared to our place? They definitely require education! But if my cousin brother is willing to do labor work, I could try hard to find him a construction job or something! Otherwise, since we don’t have job recruitment quotas now, it’s impossible to get into those two factories in Pingyang Town, especially without qualifications, let alone factories in the Capital City!" Xiao Xue outlined the limits of the help she could offer to her grandma.

It’s not that they wouldn’t help, but they simply lacked the capability. If they could work hard themselves, she wouldn’t have a problem arranging a job for them.

"Oh dear, is construction work harder than farming? This is still no different, right? Xiao Xue..." Grandma put down her chopsticks, "Now that you all have made it, you must help your cousin brothers more!"

Xiao Xue found it hard to listen to this. What does it mean that they should help the cousins now that they have made it? Did they help them when they were in dire straits?

Weren’t those two aunts not making things worse when they had nowhere to go and couldn’t afford to eat?

Yes, grandma and grandpa helped them a lot, but gratitude can never offset hatred. Her mom hated them, and so did she.

Her grandparents were good to them, and they could repay them. In the future, they would take care of grandma and grandpa in their old age. That was not an issue. And she had always intended to do so.

Ever since she came over here, she never deprived them of food or meat. She knew grandma and grandpa secretly supported their grandson and granddaughter, acting like they only favored the grandchildren before her, not caring about their own grandchildren at all.

She didn’t care; she understood people. No elder doesn’t care about their own grandchildren, so if they supported them, they did. She just delivered enough for two people every month without fail.

But this didn’t mean she could ignore past grievances and give her all.

If grandma and grandpa couldn’t let go of their son and grandchildren, she could still feed them with good food every month, but she wouldn’t take care of their sons, or grandchildren! She didn’t want to be the fool, feeling disgusted, and it wouldn’t be easy for her mom either.

"Grandma!" Xiao Xue also put down her chopsticks, "There’s a difference between help and help! For example, if my younger uncle is in trouble, I can help without reservation. Even if I don’t have it, I would borrow to help! That’s familial obligation! Because the younger uncle never harmed us!

But if it’s the older uncles in trouble, I might casually hand out something, or I might just ignore it! That’s my duty! Not adding insult to injury is already my kindness! After all! When we were down and out, not only did they not help, but grandma also knows full well what they did back then!

I know you’re concerned about your grandchildren, but also put yourself in my shoes! How can I possibly do such disgusting things at your pardon!"

Xiao Xue didn’t want to be too shifty with her grandma, as it won’t only hurt feelings but also be unappreciated.

By making everything plain and clear, regardless of her grandma’s reaction, she would make it clear! She would help if she wanted to, and she doesn’t want to, don’t try moral blackmail!

Saying things like now that they have succeeded, they should help this person and that person...

Success wasn’t dependent on them, and if helping because of success is necessary, that belongs to moral blackmail!

"Xiao Xue! Grandma knows, what your two aunts did back then was wrong, was too much, but that was because of poverty. At the time, grandma and grandpa couldn’t bear not having anything for themselves to eat; they secretly gave it to your mom so she could eat more... And your little uncle, he also starved with us until he was unrecognizable. Grandma doesn’t want to dwell on the past, but Xiao Xue, could you help your cousin brothers and sisters for the sake of the help grandma and grandpa provided to your parents years ago?" Grandma looked visibly embarrassed. She had never asked this granddaughter for a favor before, and pleading with her now made her a bit embarrassed.

But, of course, Xiao Xue never let grandma and grandpa speak out; she would often send things over herself, even for the younger uncle’s job, she sent it over voluntarily.

"I know!" Xiao Xue lowered her head, recalling the memories of the original owner, "Grandma and grandpa were genuinely good to my mom and me; we are thankful for a lifetime, never daring to forget, and there was the younger uncle, who was also young back then, who endured much hardship for us. So in the future, when Xiao Xue succeeds, she definitely won’t forget. In the future, I plan to bring you two elders to the Capital City for retirement, and as for the younger uncle, if they are willing, I will still bring them over, arrange jobs, arrange everything, even if I find it difficult, I will try my best to help them because I feel it’s worth it!

But for others,

I don’t need to do this, because! They’re not worth it."

She made her point clear and precise if Li Xiuying still didn’t understand, she would have lived in vain for over sixty years.

She sighed, lowered her head to pick up her chopsticks to eat without saying anything more. She knew her daughter resented her two brothers. If only her daughter-in-laws hadn’t acted so excessively when Xiao Xue had a high fever, her daughter wouldn’t be so full of hatred today. Everything was fate.

She couldn’t press too hard. Otherwise, her daughter’s family would alienate from her. Although she cared deeply for her grandchildren, her daughter was also her treasure. She couldn’t let her be disappointed again.

Xiao Xue knew that her grandma still understood limits, not going too far.

The two of them escorted grandma home and received a very warm reception.

"Xiao Xue, got pregnant so soon? That’s great! Take it easy! Let your big aunt hold you!" Feng Minghua practically backtracked to home.

Zhang Yuan quickly went forward to support his wife, "Big Aunt, let me handle it!"

Not giving others any chance at all.

He was afraid, afraid his wife would get hurt again, afraid that this prodigal big aunt might do something excessive again. He was already terrified and couldn’t let anything unexpected happen to his wife again.

Liu Lingling glanced and found it funny. This sister-in-law had really developed amnesia, having forgotten all about causing a scene at their wedding. Looking at this bootlicker behavior, there must be some ulterior motive, right?
