He sighed deeply in his heart and looked up with a grave voice, "Mother, do you mean to say that our family does not have enough money to spend now? I give you two strings of cash every month, originally thinking that it should be more than enough... If that's the case, starting next month, I will add a bit more, how does that sound?"
"I didn't say you should chip in your two cents, just listen quietly, will you?!" Meng's mother was displeased and stared at him furiously, scolding, "You only earn those few wages each month, all of which you give to me, but don't keep a few extra on yourself. In case anything happens, it would be embarrassing to be short of money, wouldn't it? People will laugh at you!"
