"I'll take two hundred."
Yun Huaying suddenly took a step back and shifted her gaze to Fang Shuang and her brother, pointing at them. "They've been in our house for five years now. To put it mildly, the combined annual expenses for the three of them are at least 150 yuan. The 750 yuan they spent should have been mine. Hand it over first, and we'll discuss the rest later."
"The three siblings are self-reliant children. Why can't they use his money?" Old Mrs. Fang jumped out.
"Biological child?" Yun Huaying looked gloomily.
"certainly..."
Old Lady Fang answered instinctively, but her words changed course: "No, they are not his biological children, but stepchildren are also his children, and he has the right to raise them."
"Old woman, you're right. Your son doesn't support his own daughter, but treats other people's children as his own. His values and choices really surprise me. But this is his private matter, so I don't bother to say anything more."
"But I'd better make some things clear. I have no objection to him raising someone else's seed, but he shouldn't have kept it in my house and kept it for so many years."
"I used to endure it, but now I can't. Today is a good day to settle all the accounts."
"My house is 120 square meters, but I only live in less than five square meters. The five of them occupy 115 square meters. If I calculate based on the rent in the county, my house would cost at least 12 yuan a month. Don't accuse me of cheating you. I only charge them 10 yuan a month."
"Five years and seven months, the rent is 670 yuan. I'm not counting the other expenses for food, drink, defecation, and furniture wear and tear. You now have to pay me 670 yuan in rent."
Old Lady Fang had never expected her to be so powerful now, so she naturally wouldn't admit the debt. She yelled at the top of her voice, "They are living in my son's house. If my son wants them to live there, they can live there without paying rent."
Yun Huaying didn't bother arguing with such an unreasonable woman, so she asked her supporter directly, "Old Secretary, Public Security Zhou, if I file a lawsuit in this situation, what are my chances of winning?"
"You'll definitely win." The old secretary gave her assurance.
Seeing the Fang family's expression change, Yun Huaying sneered. Fang Ziqiang said, "I don't want to waste any more time talking to this rude and unreasonable old woman of yours. Deputy Director Fang, you're a government employee. If you still want to maintain your dignity and keep your job, think it over carefully. I'll give you ten minutes to deal with it."
"Do you have to make things so embarrassing?" Fang Ziqiang gritted his teeth.
"Anyway, it's you and the Fang family who are losing face, not me." Yun Huaying sneered.
"Sister Huaying, we are all family. Why do we have to make such a fuss and let outsiders laugh at us?" Fang Xue stood up with a look of disapproval.
"You treat me as family."
Yun Huaying looked at the little white flower coldly, then suddenly smiled. "Even brothers should settle accounts clearly. Although we have lived under the same roof for more than five years, you and I are not related by blood at all. It's better to settle these accounts clearly to avoid wasting time and forgetting or getting things mixed up due to memory loss."
"Besides, I don't mind at all that it's caused such a scene and made a fool of myself by the neighbors on both sides."
"If possible, I want to make this a big fuss, so that everyone in the county can see the joke on our family, and let everyone see Deputy Director Fang, this rare good stepfather in the world, and let everyone know that there are really people in this world who treat their own daughters as grass and their stepchildren as treasures."
Neighbors in the family quarters often talk about their family behind their backs. Most of them can't stand Li Hongxia's disgusting and aggressive face, and of course they also look down on Fang Ziqiang's character.
In recent years, Li Hongxia has occupied the Yun family's house with her three children born to her ex-husband, and has bullied and abused Yun Huaying openly and secretly. They just don't believe that Fang Ziqiang was unaware of it. They watched Li Hongxia and her two children bully their own daughter. In everyone's eyes, such a man is a scumbag and trash.
However, due to Fang Ziqiang's status as a cadre, they did not say it to his face.
Seeing everyone looking at her son with disdain, Old Lady Fang immediately yelled at the top of her lungs, taking care of her son's reputation: "Do you think everyone in this world is as cold-blooded and heartless as your Yun family? Ziqiang treats them like treasures because he remembers their grandfather's life-saving grace."
"Oh, their grandfather saved his life, so your son regards them as treasures."
"Then let me ask you, who saved your good son when he came from the countryside to the city to beg for food and was so sick he was barely alive?"
"Later, he went down into a coal mine and was nearly buried alive. After he was rescued, who gave him a bite to eat?"
"When he was nearly frozen to death in the snow and ice, who saved his life?"
"Who gave him a shelter from the wind and rain?"
"Who brought you peasants to Jing County? Who helped you settle down here?"
Yun Huaying's voice was no smaller than hers, and every word she shouted was tinged with frost.
Seeing that Old Lady Fang's eyes were flickering, Fang Ziqiang remained silent. Yun Huaying pointed in the direction where Grandpa and Mom were buried and roared at the Fang family, "It's my Grandpa, it's these heartless and ungrateful people in our Yun family."
"Your grandfather is a doctor. It's his duty to save lives and heal the wounded."
Old Lady Fang had lived in the city for many years and had learned a lot, so she shamelessly found something to say to her.
Yun Huaying was so enraged by this old woman that she laughed, her smile cold and filled with hatred. "My grandfather said a few words before he died. He said that if he could live his life over again, he would rather bear the insults of the world, rather than disgrace the Yun family's reputation, rather than let down the Yun family's ancestors, than rescue those ungrateful scum."
"I used to be confused. I thought that having acquired skills meant I should dedicate myself to serving the people. But now I understand. Not everyone in this world deserves to be human. Some are born beasts, heartless and ungrateful scum, poisonous snakes that bite farmers. This kind of scum lives in this world only to taint all the beautiful words in it."
A woman in the crowd was deeply moved and spoke up in support of her, "Huaying, you're right. This family is shameless scum and garbage. Don't tolerate these rotten people anymore. Just let go and protect your rights and interests. We support you."
Many people in the family quarters sympathized with her, and many elderly neighbors had sought medical treatment from Grandpa Yun. Grandpa Yun's medical skills were very good, and he and his daughter were also very kind-hearted. They would always prescribe the cheapest but most effective medicine for minor ailments and colds, and never let them spend extra money. For those from poor families, they would provide medical treatment and medicine free of charge.
When the famine broke out, the Yun family used up their savings to buy food from other places and distributed some to each family in the residential area. They also gave porridge and food to ordinary people who came to the county town to beg for a living. Many people received donations and assistance from the Yun family, and they were somewhat grateful to the Yun family in their hearts.
So, someone took the lead, and the neighbors who surrounded the place in three layers spoke up one after another to defend Yun Huaying, the orphan girl.
