“Say, aren’t you being too nosy! It’s fine if you want to stick your nose into my father’s business! Why are you so concerned with our issues! When it comes to us, naturally there’s my father and… Auntie Li in charge!” Xu Cai said after taking a glance at Li Gui.

Xu Cai’s attitude towards Li Gui had softened a lot from her initial prickly attitude. It seemed that Xu Ba had put in a lot of effort into talking to Xu Cai and Xu Hang, and Xu Cai had gradually accepted Li Gui’s existence.

“Xu Cai! How can you say that!” Xu Ba looked at Xu Cai and said in a low voice.

Qiao Mei had influence over everything in the family. Whatever Qiao Mei said was the rule and they did not have the clout to refute.

“I give each of them 25 dollars a month for their living expenses on top of the tuition fees,” Xu Ba said.

Qiao Mei nodded in understanding. Then, she looked at Xu Cai and said, “In the future, each of them will get 60 dollars a month. If there’s any excess, the two of you should save it up. Also, every month, one third of Uncle Xu’s salary will be given to the two of you to set aside for your future dowry and betrothal gift respectively.”

After Xu Ba went to work in the south, his salary had more than doubled. From his previous salary of just over 100 dollars, it had increased to more than 300 dollars a month now.

Xu Cai and Xu Hang were both a little surprised. They had thought that Qiao Mei would deliberately lord over them and reduce their pocket money. They did not expect that not only did Qiao Mei not do that, but she even gave them more money. This was an amount which was even higher than the salary of the workers in some factories.

“In the future, it’s also fine if you want to go overseas to study. As long as your request is reasonable, you can rest assured my mother won’t leave you to your own devices. However, all the expenses will have to come out of Uncle Xu’s salary and the Xu family’s money,” Qiao Mei said seriously.

The cost of living would only keep going up. If their pocket money was only increased at that time, it would be something that they already expected. However, if they were given an increase now, it would make them remember how nice Li Gui was to them.

The three members of the Xu family looked at each other but did not say anything. They could not find any fault with Qiao Mei’s actions, especially the part regarding the future betrothal gift and dowry. Xu Cai and Xu Hang were both very grateful to Qiao Mei.

Back then, Old Madam Xu had said that she would only give Xu Hang a betrothal gift of 500 dollars, not a single cent more. If the girl should ask Xu Hang for more money, then that girl was not good! That girl must be the materialistic one!

However, by Xu Ba marrying Li Gui, their lives were getting better! Not only could they live in a nice house, but their standard of living had also improved. Although their lives had turned out different from what they had imagined, their current lifestyle was considered exceptional in this era and many people would be so envious of them.

By the time they graduated, they would not have to worry about getting a job. They could just go to Li Gui or Qiao Mei’s factory and have an easy life for the rest of their lives.

Now that the financial issues were settled, it was time to talk about the issue of the traditional customs. Every year, during the new year, the married woman would have to spend the occasion at the man’s house, but Qiao Mei could not quite accept such a custom.

Qiao Mei could not accept the fact that she would not be able to see Li Gui during the new year in the future. This matter would have to wait until Old Madam Xu came. At the dining table, Qiao Mei brought up this issue. Her proposal was that the families would take turns to celebrate the new year, alternating between Xu Ba’s family and Li Gui’s family. Neither would suffer a loss or take advantage of the other.

Old Madam Xu agreed without any hesitation. Whatever request that Qiao Mei made, even if it was unreasonable, Old Madam Xu would accept it. All she wanted was for Li Gui to marry into the family first.

How could a woman who had been divorced twice have the cheek to get a third divorce! When the time came, Li Gui would be a member of the Xu family for the rest of her life and the family could do whatever they wanted with Li Gui!

After all the arrangements were settled, they sat down to have a meal. Qiao Mei looked at all these people and felt a little melancholic. All the Xu family members had ulterior motives. Some of them may want to be nice to Li Gui but some of them just wanted to suck all the blood out of Li Gui.

“If all of you had behaved nicer back then and your Xu family had agreed to these arrangements earlier, they might even have a child now,” Qiao Mei said.

“Cough, cough, cough… What nonsense are you talking about… What child!” Li Gui said with a red face.

The Xu family members did not reply and all of them kept their heads lowered. They knew that this was Qiao Mei’s opening gambit! It was to let them know clearly who was the one in the family who had the authority to speak.

Qiao Mei was well aware of their dirty thoughts, but as long as Li Gui was willing to go through with this, Qiao Mei had nothing to say. She only wanted Li Gui to be happy.

“Then can we discuss the date of the wedding now?” Old Madam Xu said as she looked at Qiao Mei with a fake smile on her face.
