"Oh, it seems like you have a good relationship with your boss."
Aunt Jiang said in a sarcastic tone, and looked Liu Huanyi up and down, "They even sent their daughter to deal with your matter, don't tell me you are climbing up the ladder again."
The undisguised malicious speculation in her words made Liu Huanyi feel sick, and Zhao Tiezhu couldn't bear to listen any longer.
"Are you still human? How can you talk about your own daughter in such a roundabout way?"
"I'm doing this for your own good. I'm telling you clearly so that you won't be kept in the dark!" Aunt Jiang said righteously.
Jiang Xiaoluo was so angry that she was shaking all over. "My boss is a woman. What you said is not only an insult to me, but also to my boss."
"Oh, a woman." Aunt Jiang sneered, "I've never seen such a nosy boss. Since your boss values you so much, you should be paid very well. It's no problem for him to support me and your dad, but you still refuse to support us. You're really unfilial!"
“…”
Jiang Xiaoluo was exhausted and didn't want to discuss this topic with her anymore, but she couldn't bear to watch her father lying in bed and do nothing.
Just when Aunt Jiang thought she was going to succeed, Liu Huanyi suddenly asked, "How much more do you want?"
After knowing that she was the daughter of Jiang Xiaoluo's boss, Aunt Jiang's attitude became more polite.
"As expected of the boss's daughter, she is so generous."
After saying that, Aunt Jiang glanced at Jiang Xiaoluo and said, "You should learn from them. You are so reserved towards your own parents. You will be laughed at when you go out!"
"Having a mother like you makes me a laughing stock."
"You stupid girl, why don't you learn from your boss's daughter?"
Aunt Jiang thought she had to ask for more this time, so she said directly, "Five hundred thousand!"
Everyone opened their mouths wide. Five hundred thousand?! That was an exorbitant amount!
Jiang Xiaoluo was also shocked by this number and couldn't close her mouth, "You are crazy."
"I've raised you for so many years and helped you to become successful. Now, 500,000 is not a small amount." Aunt Jiang was very proud and admired her own success from the bottom of her heart.
Uncle Jiang kept shaking his head, wondering how he could have spent his whole life with a woman like this.
Jiang Xiaoluo was so angry that she wanted to drag Liu Huanyi and Zhao Tiezhu away, but Liu Huanyi said, "Okay."
"You agreed?!" Aunt Jiang was overjoyed and waited happily to receive the money.
Jiang Xiaoluo and Zhao Tiezhu looked at her in confusion. Why should she agree to Aunt Jiang's apparently unreasonable request?
Liu Huanyi gave them a calm look, telling them to stay calm. She would take care of everything, so what was there to worry about?
"So when are you going to pay? Let's go to the bank now!"
She couldn't wait to see what it would feel like to have an extra half a million dollars in her account.
Liu Huanyi said, "Not yet. After all, it's a huge sum of money, 500,000. I need to confirm some things first."
"What's up?"
Aunt Jiang looked at her warily. This little girl didn't look like someone who could be easily messed with. What if she was trying to trick her?
"I can give you the money, but you have to leave first. We have something to say to him alone."
Liu Huan pointed at Uncle Jiang, and Aunt Jiang immediately became unwilling, "Why? You can talk to me about the money. My old man doesn't know anything."
"I have dignity, I can't ask for so much money." Uncle Jiang regretted his decision. He knew that Aunt Jiang was using his illness to ask Jiang Xiaoluo for money. He should have died outside the hospital and put an end to it all, so that Aunt Jiang could never blackmail Jiang Xiaoluo again.
"You old fool, we're both going to spend the money after we get it, and you're talking as if I'm not giving it to you! Shut up."
Aunt Jiang glared at him and then looked at Liu Huanyi.
"If you have anything to say to me, ignore him."
Liu Huanyi crossed his arms and said, "But now I just want to tell him that if you want to take the money, you have to do what I say. If you don't want to take the money, you can refuse."
“…”
Aunt Jiang hesitated for a while. After all, they had promised to give the money, so they shouldn’t go back on their word. So many people heard it!
Can they still regret it?
But she was not stupid. Aunt Jiang raised her hand and said, "I'll only give you five minutes."
"Can."
Five minutes is enough.
Liu Huan agreed with confidence. Zhao Tiezhu and Jiang Xiaoluo didn't know what she was going to do and could only watch her quietly.
Before leaving, Aunt Jiang gnashed her teeth in Uncle Jiang's ear and said, "Cooperate with me and don't delay me from asking for money. If the 500,000 yuan I got is gone, I will make you pay."
Uncle Jiang's heart was as cold as water. He closed his eyes silently and didn't want to answer.
After Aunt Jiang left, Liu Huanyi immediately drew the curtain to block other people's gossiping eyes.
Jiang Xiaoluo looked at Uncle Jiang's skinny appearance and her eyes and nose turned red.
"Dad, how did you get into this state?"
Uncle Jiang had a lot of grievances. When Aunt Jiang was taking care of him, she would beat and scold him if she was not satisfied with the slightest thing. The scolding could be heard throughout the corridor. Several times, people from the nurses' station came in to persuade Aunt Jiang not to be so angry, but instead they were pointed at in the nose and scolded by Aunt Jiang until she cried.
After a few times, no one dared to stand up and speak for him anymore, and Aunt Jiang became more and more outrageous.
"I'm fine. Xiao Luo, next time she asks you to come, don't bother her. The 100,000 yuan you gave us last time was enough for her medical treatment. Don't give her any more money."
This time it’s 500,000, next time it might be 1 million.
Uncle Jiang didn't want to become a tool for Aunt Jiang to extort money. If that were the case, he might as well commit suicide.
Jiang Xiaoluo shed tears without saying a word. Uncle Jiang looked at Liu Huanyi and said, "Little girl, what do you want to say?"
"Do you want Aunt Xiaoluo to live?" Liu Huanyi didn't beat around the bush and asked straight to the point.
Uncle Jiang nodded excitedly, "Of course!"
He regretted that he should not have indulged Aunt Jiang every time, which led to her becoming even more outrageous and unable to stop after she tasted a little sweetness.
"Then I'll give you two choices now. Either you divorce her, or you let her use your illness to continue to make trouble with Aunt Xiaoluo."
Uncle Jiang's eyes widened, "Divorce? I haven't thought about it!"
Although this woman was vicious, after all, they had been together for so many years. At most, he only regretted indulging her to this extent, but he never thought about divorcing Aunt Jiang.
Liu Huanyi smiled sarcastically, "She is so cruel, and you still don't want to divorce her. You really love her."
"You are still young and don't understand that in addition to love, there are also responsibilities in marriage." Uncle Jiang sighed, "If I could choose, I wouldn't want to spend my whole life with her. But we are already married and have a child. If I divorce her, how will she live out the rest of her life?"
"So you just let her bully Aunt Xiao Luo. You will only be happy if you watch her drive Aunt Xiao Luo to death, right?"
Liu Huanyi's tone was aggressive, which not only scared Jiang Xiaoluo but also scared everyone.
