Chapter 344 Exorbitant Demands

“You’re living comfortably now that you’re away, right? You don’t have to squeeze into this small house with us anymore. I heard you changed jobs and got a raise. The household expenses are quite high, so you should give us a little more money for household expenses. Also, your younger brother is about to graduate from high school, and there are many places where money is needed for college. From now on, you should give the family an extra 3,000 yuan every month. Your brother will also need living expenses for college.”

Gu Panzi looked at her mother in surprise, "What? I have to pay an extra 3,000 yuan? Mom, do you know how much I earn in a month? I just graduated not long ago. I used to give the family 3,000 yuan. Now you want me to give 6,000 yuan a month. I only earn 6,000 yuan in total. Are you telling me to starve myself?"

"That's none of my business. It's your own problem, so you can figure it out yourself!"

Gu Panzi was truly desperate about this family. Why could this family be so lazy and unwilling to work, leaving all the pressure on her alone?

If they had treated her even a little better emotionally, she wouldn't feel so wronged.

She inexplicably thought of what Tang Wan'er had told her before: there's no need to...

You have to be so soft-hearted.

"3000 a month, take it or leave it. If you don't want it, fine, but you won't get the 3000!"

Upon hearing this, Mr. Gu immediately stood up from the sofa. "You brat, you think you're all grown up now? We've raised you with so much care, and all we're asking for is a little money so you can repay the family. You can't even pay this small amount? Did we raise you for nothing?"

"A little bit of money?" Gu Panzi's eyes were brimming with tears.

For them, raising her was like cultivating another ATM, and the kind that has no restraint at that.

“You don’t go out to work, leaving me to support the family alone. If any of you went out to work, even earning just 2,000 a month, this family wouldn’t be living like this. You all have hands and feet, why should I support you? 3,000 a month is already more than many people earn by working. Not only are you eating, drinking, and taking my money for free, but are you going to go even further now? Gu Yaozong is your son, supporting him is your responsibility, what does it have to do with me?”

Upon hearing this, Gu's mother immediately became displeased.

"How can you talk like that? Isn't Yaozong your younger brother? Isn't it the older sister's duty to support her younger brother?"

"Which legal provision states that an older sister must support her younger brother? I do not have custody rights. It is my own choice to give you money, and you cannot sue me if I choose not to!"

Gu Panzi had never spoken to her parents like this before.

Mr. Gu couldn't stand such an attitude, so he reached out and slapped Gu Panzi.

"You haven't learned anything good outside, all you've learned are unfilial words. Today I'm going to wake you up, you unfilial daughter!"

Gu's mother also came over and pinched Gu Panzi's arm several times.

In the past, Gu Panzi would probably have let them beat and scold her, because only in this way could they completely vent their anger.

But now she wants to rebel, to be like Tang Wan'er, and not let anyone bully her anymore.

She suddenly pushed Mr. and Mrs. Gu away forcefully, and then ran outside.

Gu's parents chased after him, yelling and cursing.

"You brat, stop right there!"
