After returning home in the evening, Second Brother Yun didn't tell his father-in-law about the incident; he only shared it with his wife.
"You did the right thing," she said. "Those people are jobless, and if they can be sent away with money, then use money. The real worry is that they might come knocking often."
This was a problem.
The noodle shop was making money, which was why Second Sister-in-law Yun used to count the cash every night. She hadn't deposited it in the bank, planning to buy a house as soon as they could afford one; otherwise, the prices would go up.
"Little sister wrote to us, saying that once we have money, we can buy a house," Second Brother Yun felt that his sister had good foresight. They had made a profit from buying a storefront property previously.
"As for buying a house, we'll see. Don't worry, we have three children; in time, each will have their own apartment."
Second Sister-in-law Yun did not favor sons over daughters.
