"Wanying, how could you say such outrageous things? I ask myself honestly, I have never shown the slightest favoritism towards my brother and me, nor have I ever given him any special treatment just because he is a boy. You accuse me of favoring boys over girls, but can't you really see how your father and I have treated you?"

"You are my first child, a piece of my own flesh and blood that I carried for ten months. How could I not love and cherish you? But look at what you've done. What's wrong with you?"

Xie Wanying shed two tears at the right moment, "But all these years you've been so busy with work that you've never cared about what I really want in my heart. Mom and Dad, please stop talking. Anyway, I don't have any money right now."

She looked as if there was no way she would take out the money, and Xie Wenyuan's eyes were filled with heartache.

How did you become such a profit-driven person?

Xie Wanying took a step back. "Mom and Dad, can you please think about me? I'm married now, and I have my own little family to live with. Besides, Shuying's conditions are much better than ours. This money is nothing to her. I'm taking my own family's money. I didn't steal or rob. Just consider it as me using the money, what's wrong with that?"

Huang Meiling clutched her chest with one hand, never expecting her to say such a thing.

Since Xie Wanying showed no sign of repentance, she would not give her another chance.

“Wanying, if you have any difficulties, you can just tell me and your father. But taking things without asking is stealing. Besides, Fang Deshan is the director of the cotton mill. How could you be short of money?”

She spoke earnestly, "Now, Zhiyan and Shuying not only have to support themselves, but also have two children. Their family expenses are much higher than yours. You can keep our share of the money; we can make up for it later. But you must contribute Zhiyan's money. Over the years, your father and I have been most opposed to the idea that an older sister should act like a mother, and we have never asked you to take care of your younger brother."

Xie Wenyuan also sighed and met Xie Wanying's gaze, "Don't make the same mistake again."

Having already received the money in her pocket, Xie Wanying naturally had no intention of taking it out. She suppressed her grievances and said, "If you really think I did something wrong, then beat me to death today. In short, I won't take out the money. I haven't done anything to wrong anyone. You are my parents, and Zhiyan is my brother. Why can't I take your money?"

Huang Meiling nodded, deciding not to continue this pointless entanglement with her.

"Alright, alright, it's not for nothing that we raised you. You still have some backbone. Since you insist that you have no money, then we'll go ask Fang Deshan for it. He has a considerable monthly income, right? You can't come up with this money, but he can."

Xie Wanying panicked. Seeing the two of them turn to leave, she quickly stepped forward and stopped Huang Meiling.

"Mom, why are you so insistent on pressing me? I just want to prove that you and Dad still care about me. It's just money, how could it possibly damage our family harmony? I'll go get it now, is that alright?"
