The next day, Yanling asked his uncle for living expenses as usual. Jiang Wei's face stiffened. He had forgotten about this and still had to give his nephew living expenses for the week.

Clutching the last two hundred yuan he had, he reluctantly handed one hundred to his nephew, feeling a pang of regret for refusing the donation.

After Yanling left, he sat in the living room for a long time before finally deciding to ask his wife for money.

He shamelessly went to his mother-in-law's house, and unsurprisingly, he was met with a cold shoulder from his father-in-law and mother-in-law. He truly understood what it meant to be penniless and helpless.

His aunt sensed the implication in his words and said in surprise, "You've run out of money and you're coming to me for it? Jiang Wei, you're really shameless!"

After saying that, she started to settle accounts with him. She was responsible for all the household expenses, while most of Jiang Wei's money was spent on Yan Ling.

She coldly reminded him, "Don't expect me to pay you to support your family in the future! Since you say a man should earn money to support his family, how much money will you give me each month?"

Jiang Wei turned his head away guiltily, not daring to meet his wife's gaze. He had just heard her do the math and realized that his nephew had spent so much of the family's money over the years. If his wife hadn't been earning money, his family would probably have starved long ago.

"I will..."

"Jiang Wei, let's not talk about the future, let's talk about now! Why are you coming to me now? Don't you know where your money went? You've spent all your money on other people, and now you're coming to me for money? Don't you have any shame?"

His aunt stopped him; she didn't want to hear his nonsense.

"I……"

"You yourself find it hard to say, right? Jiang Wei, I'm telling you seriously, let's get a divorce. From now on, I won't care how you use your money or who you give it to."

“Honey, you’ve watched Yanling grow up. You know his situation. Where else can he go besides our family? If even we abandon him, what will become of him?”

Jiang Wei still refused to give up his nephew, nor did he want to get a divorce. If he got a divorce, he would lose his wife and children. Was he supposed to find another married woman and raise someone else's child?

His aunt saw right through his thoughts. She simply thought that even if he got divorced, he wouldn't be able to find someone as hardworking and devoted as her again. Moreover, he was a chauvinist and would never accept a divorced woman with children.

“Jiang Wei, think about it carefully. Since I married you, have I ever had a good day? If you want to eat xiaolongbao, I have to get up at five in the morning to make dough and mix fillings. If you say you don’t like the soy milk sold outside, I get up early every day to grind soy milk for you.”

At this point, the aunt sighed and continued, "You said your nephew is homeless and we want him to feel the warmth of a family, so I tolerated you giving him your daughter's room."

You said he's going through a rebellious phase and asked me to be more understanding. Every time I stood in front of the teacher and got scolded, I endured it too. But Jiang Wei, we adults can tolerate it, so why should Hanhan have to learn to be patient as well?

Jiang Wei quickly waved his hand in denial: "No, I didn't let my daughter..."

"Heh, you didn't. You really didn't say it out loud because Hanhan is young and doesn't know how to stand up for herself or how to express her grievances."

Do you know how many dresses and dance lessons you could buy for your daughter with the money you'd spend on a phone for Yanling? You don't know, you only care about your nephew, you don't care about your daughter at all!

Jiang Wei hesitated, unsure how to defend himself. His wife was telling the truth, and he always subconsciously ignored his daughter.

“You may not care about Hanhan, but I do. I don’t want my daughter to have to learn the word ‘endurance’ at such a young age. If you think Yanling is your responsibility, then you should take on that responsibility. My daughter and I can live better without you, so please stop dragging me down.”

Even now, Jiang Wei still can't bring himself to tell his nephew to leave. He returned home dejectedly and began to seriously consider what his wife had said.

His sigh echoed in the quiet room, and then he dialed a phone number.

"Sister, please come and pick Yanling up. She's arguing with me about this, and we're getting a divorce. I can't lose my wife and kids for my nephew!"

What? You're saying you're not going to help? Sis, he's your son! Sis? Hello?

My wife is adamant that if she lets her nephew stay any longer, she will definitely divorce me.

But my sister just said she wouldn't take care of Yanling. If she doesn't take care of him either, the child will really be ruined.

Before Jiang Wei could make a choice, he received another call from his teacher early the next morning.

My nephew's homeroom teacher said that he beat up a first-year high school girl at school, and implied that the girl's family was rich and powerful, and that this matter would probably be difficult to resolve.

Jiang Wei rubbed the hundred-yuan note in his pocket, feeling a sense of hesitation. He knew he would have to pay compensation for hitting someone, but how would he pay for it?

Why won't my nephew stop making a scene even for a day?!
