Not far from the gate, Huo Qianjin spoke up: "Sister-in-law, you really shouldn't have said those things today."
Duan Zhuangyu was about to say something when Huo Qianjin raised his hand to interrupt her: "Didn't Gaodi tell you about the family's situation? When Auntie Jiang came in, Gaodi was already four or five years old, well able to remember things. The things my mom left behind were all packed into a small box by my dad before Auntie Jiang entered the house. Only Gaodi and I had the key, and until we became adults, Dad decided to give them to us brothers.
Not just for us, but the same for my older brother and sister. The keepsakes left by their mom were only given to them by Dad, so there's no such thing as fairness or unfairness in the family.
Moreover, after Auntie Jiang came in, she started keeping a ledger of Dad's income. All household income and expenses are clearly recorded; nothing is hidden from us."
