Qin Mei paused. No wonder Jie Jingchen had Grandpa write ten IOUs. At one hundred yuan each, ten notes would be enough for Granny to use ten times.
'That Jie Jingchen is far too calculating,' she thought. 'He plans ten moves for every one he makes.'
"If you do that, aren't you worried that your grandpa and granny will truly be left with nothing?" Qin Mei asked. She had witnessed Jie Anlin's ability to leech off his parents. He refused to pay for his own medical prescription and medicine. The two elders had no money, and he wouldn't even front the cost himself.
She had seen elders guilt-trip their juniors, but never a junior guilt-trip their elders. Jie Anlin was a real eye-opener.
"My dad isn't their only son," Jie Jingchen said, completely unworried. He knew exactly how resourceful Granny was. If she couldn't get money from the eldest's family, she would just switch targets. She would never pin all her hopes on one person.
