Rebirth 92: Growing Mushrooms to Earn Millions, Ungrateful Relatives Get Anxious

In his previous life, after Li Weidong earned money selling mushrooms, his relatives became envious and begged him to let them profit as well. However, simply because he charged them an extra dime ...

Chapter 216 Unworthy of being a son

How could Li Weidong possibly accept Zhao Xiufen and Zhao Xiujuan joining him?!

Putting everything else aside, just based on Hu Zi's example, he would never take these ungrateful relatives with him again.

Moreover, their behavior during my grandfather's previous medical treatment proved their character was untrustworthy.

Zhao Xiufen and Zhao Xiujuan had been hoping that Li Weidong would agree, but after all their sweet talk, they were met with a rejection.

Moreover, being refused in front of so many people made them lose face, and they immediately became angry.

"Why didn't you take us with you to grow mushrooms?!"

Zhao Xiufen pointed at Li Weidong's nose and cursed, "You bring outsiders, but we're your relatives, why shouldn't we?"

Before Li Weidong could even speak, the villagers who were building houses nearby couldn't stand it anymore.

"Why shouldn't you bring them? Don't you have any self-awareness?"

"Exactly, if you guys were any good, would Weidong not have brought you along?"

"Wei Dong was kind enough to take Hu Zi's family along before, but what happened? We don't need to say more about what that heartless ingrate Hu Zi did, do we?"

"You guys have the nerve to come to Weidong's house and ask him to show you around? You're really shameless."

Everyone burst into laughter.

Zhao Xiujuan retorted defiantly, "Hu Zi is Hu Zi, and we are us. What Hu Zi did has nothing to do with us."

Then he glared at Li Weidong and said, "Anyway, I don't care, you have to lead us to grow mushrooms!"

Instead of answering, Li Weidong asked, "Do you think you're different from Hu Zi?"

Yes, it's definitely different!

The two argued vehemently.

Li Weidong sneered: "But in my opinion, you and his family are birds of a feather!"

"For example, the time my grandfather was hospitalized."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xiujuan and Zhao Xiufen immediately felt embarrassed.

After all, their elderly father was hospitalized, and they not only refused to pay for his treatment but also considered giving up on it. Moreover, they didn't even bother to visit him afterwards, let alone take care of him. This would be considered extremely unfilial under any circumstances.

Zhao Xiufen tried to stop Li Weidong from continuing.

Li Weidong deliberately raised his voice: "My grandfather fell and was hospitalized. The doctor said that if we paid for the surgery, the chances of success were high. But what happened?"

“You and Hu Zi’s family not only don’t want to pay money, but you also want to give up treatment. My grandfather is the father who gave birth to you and raised you!”

"After that, I paid for the surgery. My grandfather's surgery was successful. He was hospitalized for so long, did either of you visit him even once?"

He grew angrier as he spoke: "How can someone be so indifferent to their own father? How dare they say they aren't an ingrate?"

"What's the difference between you and Tiger!"

Outsiders were unaware of this matter, and they were all surprised when Li Weidong revealed it.

Regarding filial piety, although many people cannot do it very well, at least they cannot do it too badly on the surface, otherwise their integrity will be questioned.

It's unheard of for people like Zhao Xiufen to give up treatment when they could have saved their fathers, and not to visit them even once after they recovered.

"I've lived half my life and never seen such unfilial children and grandchildren. What a tragedy!"

"Isn't this the act of a heartless ingrate?"

"People like that deserve to be struck by lightning!"

"Raising children to provide for old age is not a reliable way to protect yourself in old age, and these two sisters are completely helpless against it."

People pointed and whispered, and countless disdainful glances fell on Zhao Xiufen and Zhao Xiujuan.

The two sisters blushed with embarrassment and were furious, so they put their hands on their hips and started arguing back with everyone.

"What business is it of yours, outsiders, about our family affairs? Who gives you the right to interfere?"

"Whether we need treatment or not is our own business, it has nothing to do with you!"

"If anyone spouts another word, I'll come to your house and yell at them!"

The two men cursed at the sky and the earth, and the villagers who were working there didn't back down and started cursing back on the spot.

The whole scene was in complete chaos.

Li Weidong let out a long breath and said directly, "That's enough!"

He gave the Zhao Xiufen and her sister a cold look and directly ordered them to leave: "I'm not going to take you mushroom growing. Go back!"

"Don't come here again. You're not welcome here."

The villagers quickly echoed, "Yes, yes, you're not welcome here. Go back to your own homes!"

The two sisters were both ashamed and angry, and they were unwilling to go back like this.

Zhao Xiujuan said angrily, "Li Weidong, you heartless ingrate! We're all relatives. Now that you've made your fortune, you should be helping us make money too. Why aren't you taking us with you now?"

"That's right!"

Zhao Xiufen, hands on her hips, exclaimed, "They'd rather bring outsiders than their relatives! Aren't they afraid of being struck by lightning?!"

Li Weidong laughed angrily: "If you don't help your relatives, you'll be struck by lightning?"

"That's right!"

Zhao Xiujuan nodded: "If a person doesn't even care about relatives, friends, and blood ties in this life, then he is a cold-blooded monster, and even God won't let him off the hook!"

The two spoke with great conviction.

Li Weidong sneered: "Fine, if that's the case, then why weren't you struck dead by God?"

"When my father was sick and my family had no money for treatment, my mother brought my sister and me to your door to beg for help. Do you remember what you said?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xiujuan and the other woman froze, a hint of embarrassment flashing in their eyes.

Zhao Xiufen stammered, "That...that's different! When your father was sick, my family was also struggling financially..."

“Yes, your family is struggling financially. Your sister-in-law just got married, and the other party gave her two hundred yuan as a bride price. You and your husband kept it all to yourselves, neither giving it to your sister-in-law nor lending it to my family.”

Li Weidong said coldly, "Even if my mother kneels down and kowtows to you, saying she'll write an IOU and pay you back later, you'll harden your heart and pretend you didn't see it."

He will never forget the scene of borrowing money from door to door with his mother back then.

Zhao Xiufen's face turned pale.

Zhao Xiujuan, who was standing nearby, quickly said, "Her family is rich, but my family really didn't have any money back then..."

"Yes, your family is poor."

Li Weidong looked at her coldly: "Later, my father passed away, and my mother fell seriously ill and almost followed him. I was just a teenager, and I had to take care of my younger sister. At that time, you were free, so I begged you to come and take care of my mother. What did you say? Do you remember?"

Zhao Xiujuan's face also turned pale.

Li Weidong didn't let her off the hook, saying each word clearly, "Back then you said that whether my mother lived or died had nothing to do with you."

"You even said it would be best if my whole family died, then all my land would belong to you!"

An uproar erupted instantly!

I've seen vicious people, but I've never seen anyone this vicious.

This is just waiting to be eaten alive!

In an instant, everyone couldn't hold back and started cursing the two sisters.

Some of the hot-tempered ones even grabbed weapons and chased people away.

"Get out!"

“We in Taohuayu do not welcome people like you who are heartless and treacherous.”

"Get out of here! Or we'll get physical!"

Seeing that they had aroused public anger, Zhao Xiufen and her sister dared not stay any longer and fled in panic.

As she was leaving, Zhao Xiujuan, unable to swallow her anger, pointed at Li Weidong and said, "Li Weidong, you just wait!"

"Does having a little money make you think you're something special?"

We'll see!
