Witty Wife, Better Life

Chapter 834: Chapter 824 We’ll pay, you do the work Chapter 834: Chapter 824 We’ll pay, you do the work “Big sister, you’re wrong there. Although Hongjun might be unreliable and unable to take care of the elderly, our family still has me. If you’d let us take care of Dad, I’d find a male caregiver who can lift him. Watching over the caregiver take care of our dad is just as good,” Shen Yunfang said with a chuckle, knowing that her sister-in-law was upset. But regardless of whether there’s money, as a son, there’s an obligation to care for the elderly. The situation is clear: if you don’t want to take care of the elderly, you need to pay for someone else to do it. If you don’t want to pay, then you must put in the effort. Allowing her sister-in-law first pick was already very generous.

Wang Dan pursed her lips—it was still about who had more money.

“Alright, your place is so far, and having the old man move there would just trouble you. Let’s just take care of him, considering that your big brother is always either out in the fields or at home, not as busy as Hongjun and able to lend me a hand,” Wang Dan made the most advantageous choice. Not only would this avoid offending the second brother’s family and maintain a good reputation, but there would also be an extra twenty-five yuan coming in each month. No matter how you look at it, this was the right choice.

“Since that’s the case, I’ll have to trouble you from now on, big sister,” Li Hongjun breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

He didn’t lack the desire to care for Dad, but as his sister-in-law said, given the nature of his job, he might have to leave for task any day, and he didn’t feel comfortable leaving Yunfang alone at home to take care of the elderly. Besides, their home wasn’t that big; if Dad came to live with them, the kids would have to sleep on the living room floor. It would be manageable for a day or two, but not over the long term. But most importantly, what was this about a male caregiver his wife mentioned? If he had to leave for task and his wife was at home alone with a male caregiver… he wasn’t foolish. He wouldn’t even consider it. All things considered, if Dad could stay in his hometown and be looked after by his older brother and sister-in-law, that would be the best option.
