In her previous life, old Mrs. Li wished she could pluck out her heart and liver to make soup for her children, yet in her old age, she faced indifference and evasion. Her children all kept their d...
"Stop, stop, stop! Your project is too outrageous, my heart can't take it! How can this be considered making a lot of money as a graduate student?
It's clear that you're a money-printing machine gone mad. If you keep talking, even the God of Wealth will kneel down to offer you a cigarette!"
Li Guifang knocked the envelope out of his hand. "Today, Lao Si was falsely accused of getting a girl pregnant, and the case was taken to the police station. You came in and didn't even ask a single question, only to be asked for money?"
Li Mingyuan then noticed the expressions of the other family members. A flash of embarrassment crossed his face, but he quickly put on a smile: "Fourth child, it's okay... Mom, my tuition..."
"Tuition?" Li Guifang was so angry that she was shaking all over. "Your brother was almost sent to the police station today, and you, as his elder brother, didn't even say a word of concern.
To pay the tuition, why don't you break my old bones and make oil?
Seeing that the situation was not good, Lin Yaqin quickly interrupted: "Mom, Mingyuan is also anxious. The graduate school quota can't wait!"
"Get out! Get out of here!" Li Guifang picked up the bag of loquats on the table and threw it to the ground.
"You are such a heartless person! You don't care about your brother's misfortune! And you even want to take advantage of the situation to rob him. There is no one in the world as shameless as you!"
The enamel pot fell to the ground with a bang, and water splashed all over the floor.
Li Mingyuan's trouser legs were soaked by the splash and he finally couldn't hold it any longer.
"Mom! You can't be so partial! What does it have to do with me if the fourth son gets another girl pregnant? I'm trying to make progress and study, and you..."
"I'm partial?" Li Guifang's voice changed with anger. "Anyone in this family can say I'm partial, but you, Li Mingyuan, can't. Don't you see how much hard-earned money you've spent on our family over the years?
When you got married, your family gave you 500 yuan as a dowry; when you bought a bicycle, they took away another 200 yuan; when you got your job title, you had to use connections to get it, and you threw in 2,000 yuan and not even a sound was heard!
Last year, when your father was hospitalized, your wife came to visit him and brought two apples. Before leaving, she also took away a basket of eggs!
In order to raise money for your wedding gift, I went to the quarry to carry stones in the cold winter!
The third brother was lying on the snow picking up the fallen steamed bun crumbs for me to eat! Now you tell me you are partial?
She suddenly picked up the enamel teacup and threw it at him, "Your conscience has been eaten by a dog!"
Li Mingyuan was speechless, while Lin Yaqin was still trying to reason with him: "Mom, we are busy with work..."
"Busy? Busy as hell!" Li Guifang slapped the table, shaking the tea bowl so much that it jumped.
She pointed her finger straight at the door, spitting out of her mouth. "Get out of here! I'm so poor that my pockets are cleaner than my face! If you have the guts, just sell this old skin of mine and see how much you can get for it!"
Aunt Wang from next door heard the noise and stuck her head out to see what was going on.
Lin Yaqin couldn't hold back her expression and tugged at Li Mingyuan's sleeve: "How about... let's go back first?"
Li Mingyuan was still unwilling to give up. He stiffened his neck and said, "Mom, please don't be like this. I know you have money. You are just deliberately..."
"What on purpose? Are you deliberately not giving it to you?" Li Guifang sneered, "Yes! I did it on purpose! I would rather throw the money into the river to hear the sound than give it to you two heartless people!
When we split up the family business, I gave you two hundred. I've fed you to the dogs. Now get out of here!"
As she spoke, she actually pulled out a two-cent coin from her pocket and threw it out the door: "Here! Just treat it as feeding the dog! Don't call me mom anymore!"
The banknotes fluttered to the ground, and Li Mingyuan's face turned pale and blue.
Lin Yaqin bent down to pick it up, but Aunt Wang spat at her and her face turned red with embarrassment.
"Why don't you get out?" Li Guifang picked up the broom. "Do you really need me to use a broom to chase you out?"
Li Mingyuan finally walked out dejectedly, but before leaving, he turned back and said harshly: "Mom, don't regret it! Wait for me..."
"What are you waiting for? Waiting for you to become a high-ranking official and deal with me?"
Li Guifang sneered, "I'll be waiting! I'm afraid that by then, you won't even know where your mother is buried!"
With a "bang", the gate of the courtyard was slammed shut.
Li Guifang stood there, as angry as a little Nezha who had exploded.
Li Mingli quickly stepped forward to support her: "Mom, please don't get too angry and get yourself hurt..."
Li Guifang looked at her little girl's concerned eyes and suddenly her eyes turned red: "Xiao Li, you are still sensible."
Before he could finish his words, he heard Lin Yaqin's shrill voice coming from outside the courtyard wall: "You damn old woman! You have money but you don't give it to your son. You save it to buy a coffin!"
Li Guifang straightened her back suddenly and yelled back at the wall: "You bitch with a rotten tongue!
You're spewing feces from your mouth, and you still want to buy a coffin. You're such a black-hearted person that you won't even have a place to be buried if you die on the street!"
Aunt Wang next door couldn't help but burst out laughing.
There was finally no movement outside the courtyard wall, only the cicadas were still chirping tirelessly.
. . . . . .
Li Mingyu helped his mother sit down and said softly, "Mom, I'll get you a glass of water."
Li Guifang took the water and gulped down two bowls before she complained contentedly, "Two little bastards, so inhumane! If you do it again, I'll curse him to death!"
After saying that, he still wanted to ask Li Jianghai, "Old man, how did I perform? Did I perform at 70% of my strength?"
The Li brothers and sisters were so shocked by my mother's merits that they felt numb all over.
Just now when their mother was practicing her skills, the brother and sister were eager to go up and help.
As a result, their father gave them a look that clearly said, don't make trouble, just do your logistics work well!
I can only watch from the side and do the logistical work, such as passing a teacup, or throwing loquats or sugar!
Loquats are easy to pick up, so it’s better to throw them away!
