My parents don’t write English well but my mum can somewhat read and speak it. We’re also not too well off when it comes to money barely having enough to pay bills and feed ourselves.

I generally manage everything from text messages to paying bills.

My mother currently does this carer job, not really contracted, and the main family went on holiday leaving this one guy from the extended family to take care of pay for the care workers. Everything was going somewhat smoothly until it came to salary. This guy would come up with every excuse in order to not pay any money, he eventually ended up paying everything to the other workers except my mother. When he said he said he’d pay he left on holiday for a week, and from what my mum tells me he is a real estate agent with a springing business.

In any case, he just came back from holiday and my mum asked me to text him to ask for the money. I was a bit angry at that point since this is $910 he hasn’t payed us. I tried to not make my tone angry but I was very blunt with my point, slightly demanding. My mum started accusing me off being rude with the little she could read worrying that he won’t pay us all the money.

The main family hasn’t offered to pay instead pressuring the guy to pay what’s left.
