?Chapter 688: Chapter 678: The Purpose of Li Xianghe Chapter 688: Chapter 678: The Purpose of Li Xianghe Li Hongjun furrowed his brows, analyzing the feasibility of the situation in his mind.

“See, I told you, each of you has gone off to live your own lives, leaving only Dad here by himself. If it weren’t for me, his own daughter, taking care of him, our father, an old man, would be so pitiable,” Li Xianghe seemed to see hope again.

In fact, she shouldn’t be lacking money and shouldn’t need to bother coming back to her maiden home every year for that one hundred yuan of elderly support. But family matters are only known to those within, and the husband she chose, although a regimental commander with a monthly salary not less than Li Hongjun’s, left little in her hands.

Out of her husband’s salary, apart from his personal expenses, the remaining thirty yuan went straight to his mother’s hands for redistribution. In the end, less than ten yuan would trickle down to his wife. For someone fond of comfort and disinclined to exertion, ten yuan really wasn’t much.

It’s not that her husband was particularly filial, but he had been under his mother’s thumb for so many years, and still didn’t dare to rebel. Xianghe, however, thought of rebelling. Why couldn’t she handle her own husband’s salary instead of giving it to her mother-in-law? Faced with a daughter-in-law’s defiance, her mother-in-law simply stated that if she didn’t receive the salary, she would go directly to her son’s unit and speak to the leaders to see what end a disloyal person like that would meet in the military.

It was a show of who was more ruthless, and, of course, it could only cow someone as unsophisticated as a rural woman like Xianghe. So in the end, Xianghe was genuinely frightened into submission. Unable to access her husband’s money, she could only turn her thoughts to her parental home.
