Of course, Mei Yongfu's daydreams naturally ignore the actual situation of Mei Yinan's household, so that saying about getting rich quietly does ring true—if you've got no money, nobody thinks about you, let alone if you have some.
Even if Mei Yongfu knows Mei Yinan isn't likely to give him anything, he'll still give it a shot.
Next up is Mei Yifang—the second sister Mei Yifang is the best at saving money. Though her family has spent quite a bit, and even bought a flat in this community, they don't really have much else to spend on right now. There's always some backup cash around, so why not borrow a bit? Even if it's just a little, every bit adds up.
If this were before, Mei Yongan would still be ahead of Mei Yifang in the pecking order, but now, this penniless eldest brother isn't worth respecting much. Who told him to be broke? He might not even be able to get by himself, not to mention the mortgage. Mei Yongfu chooses to totally ignore Mei Yongan.
