Li Xiuhua was also angry; she didn't understand why Lin Aiguo was so shameless.

"Lin Aiguo, have you forgotten that you're still working at your daughter's steel factory and receiving a salary from them!"

Lin Aiguo ignored everyone and blurted out, "Work? You have the nerve to mention working! I don't need to be working myself to the bone there, Lin Qingyu should be paying me!"

Lin Qingyu looked at him with a cold smile, "Hmph! Father, you're right. If you think going to work is too tiring, then you don't need to go anymore."

"But I'm not giving you the money, what can you do about it?"

"You, do you have any conscience? I'm your father!"

"So now you know you're my dad? But I just don't want to give you money, and you can't do anything about it! Go ahead and sue me if you dare!"

"You, you..."

Lin Aiguo was about to lose his footing, his body swaying precariously.

Lin Qingyu continued, "It just so happens that Wei Dong is studying law. You can have him tell you how much money I'll have to give you every month if you sue me in court!"

"No matter where you go to reason with me, I'm not afraid of anything. Ask yourself honestly, all these years, has your mother ever owed you anything?"

Lin Qingyu's voice wasn't loud, but Lin Aiguo felt it was deafening.

He walked home dejectedly, and Lin Qingyu felt much better.

Over the years, she always felt a little sad. Li Xiuhua carried too much on her shoulders, especially in this life, on the day Lin Aiguo's leg was cut off.

Lin Qingyu thought Li Xiuhua was going to get a divorce, but at that time no one in the village was getting a divorce.

Even if the man in the family is incompetent, no woman would divorce and live alone.

Lin Qingyu was packing her things when she suddenly heard a commotion in the courtyard.

Li Xiuhua was holding Gu Jue, while Gu Shi was tidying up firewood in the kitchen.

Ignoring the clothes in her hands, Lin Qingyu threw them aside and ran out.

I immediately spotted Zhao Hongxia rolling around in the yard, a real rolling around.

"Oh dear! Why is my life so miserable?"

"God! Please help me!"

“I’m practically halfway to the grave, and my daughter-in-law doesn’t want to take care of me anymore. My granddaughter has money but won’t give it to me! She just wants to leave this old woman to fend for herself!”

She started screaming as soon as she came in, without saying a word, just crying and shouting.

The gate to the courtyard wasn't closed, which allowed her to barge in.

Li Xiuhua held the child and looked at her indifferently, without a ripple in her heart.

"God! Please have mercy on this old woman!"

"I'd rather be dead!"

Zhao Hongxia continued to throw a tantrum on the ground, completely unconcerned that anyone was watching her.

When Lin Qingyu came out, she saw Zhao Hongxia kneeling on the ground, patting the ground, kowtowing, and pounding her chest.

She walked over, stood next to Li Xiuhua, and looked across the street, only to find that Zhao Hongxia had come alone this time.

The two women stood quite a distance from Zhao Hongxia, afraid that the old woman might run up to them while crying.

Gu Shi saw this scene from the kitchen doorway. He was holding firewood and piling it up, and he couldn't just let go all at once.

Seeing that Zhao Hongxia posed no threat, Gu Shi put down what he was holding and then went out to stand next to Lin Qingyu.

There are now three people, each holding a child, standing in the corner of the yard. Zhao Hongxia is kneeling at the gate of the yard, constantly shouting and cursing.

People from the supply and marketing cooperative across the street came out to watch the spectacle. Each person held a handful of melon seeds, and seven or eight people stood there watching the show.

Zhao Hongxia probably felt a little tired, so she straightened up and secretly glanced at him.

When she realized that the three people were so far away from her, she wanted to crawl over to them on her knees.

Lin Qingyu quickly stopped her: "Grandma, please don't come over kneeling like that, we can't bear it!"

"Did I want to kneel? It's all because of you, you unfilial descendant, who dared not give me a single penny and even said you'd let your father sue you!"

As Zhao Hongxia spoke, she stood up, walked directly in front of the three of them, and pointed at Lin Qingyu's nose while cursing.

"Tell me, is it even human to tell your dad to sue you? How dare you say that? Giving your dad money is perfectly justified!"

Gu Shi stepped forward and stood directly in front of Lin Qingyu, so Zhao Hongxia dared not point anymore.

But she didn't stop talking: "Lin Qingyu, your father gave birth to you and raised you, and you turned out to be such an ungrateful wretch! Tell me, do you have any conscience at all? Your conscience must have been eaten by dogs long ago!"

After talking for so long, Zhao Hongxia finally took a break.

"Have you finished speaking? Grandma, let me tell you, no matter what you say, I still stand by what I just said."

"I've lived up to my conscience. Even my father hasn't said anything. What are you doing here causing trouble?"

Lin Qingyu hid behind Gu Shi. She really didn't want to be pointed at and scolded, and she couldn't fight back.

She could hear the people from the supply and marketing cooperative talking from where she was standing.

Seeing that Lin Qingyu was so firm in her attitude and still wanted to continue to throw a tantrum and suppress her, Zhao Hongxia continued to curse.

"You ingrate! How dare you say you have a clear conscience? Tell me, who gave birth to you, raised you, sent you to school, and helped you get married, and to such a good man as Xiao Gu! Tell me, tell me!"

“She’s my mother, my mother. No matter what you say, she’s still my mother.”

Lin Qingyu's single sentence infuriated Zhao Hongxia. If Zhao Hongxia had a heart condition, she probably would have needed to take a whole bottle of nitroglycerin pills to recover.

"And what about me? Didn't I make any contribution? Back when your mother was earning work points, I was the one who looked after you, raising you from infancy!"

Li Xiuhua spoke up at this moment, saying coldly, "Yes, it was all thanks to the jade you brought me back then. If it weren't for you, the jade wouldn't have fallen into the latrine and burned for half a month without getting better."

"I...it's not my fault! It's all because Qingyu is too naughty, that's why she ran into the toilet by herself!"

"Oh? And what about when Qingyu was bitten by the dog? You didn't say anything then either. Was that because Qingyu told you not to talk about it?"

Before Zhao Hongxia could come up with an answer, Li Xiuhua added, "There are many more such cases, so I don't need to go into details!"

Zhao Hongxia suddenly tried to kneel down again, crying and shouting, "I'm such a wretched old woman, I didn't do it on purpose! You can't just ignore me like this! I don't care, you have to give me money!"

The people at the supply and marketing cooperative have finally seen through it.

"So it was because they wanted money, they just saw that their granddaughter's family was rich!"

"Exactly! They were so arrogant just now, I thought they had a lot of backbone!"

"She's asking for money and acting all high and mighty. I don't know how Zhao Hongxia has the nerve to yell like that!"

Lin Qingyu heard this and thought it made sense; how come all these people were the same?

Do you think she's too easy to bully?

That's why everyone is so self-righteous when they ask her for money or help, without considering whether she will agree or not.
