Seeing the skewers she had spent more than a thousand yuan on broken into pieces, Song Qin's eyes were bloodshot and she burst into a scream.
"Song Dabao."
Her voice was so loud that it startled the whole family.
"Song Qin, why are you screaming so loudly?"
Song Qin had already rushed out of the house and saw Song Dabao hiding behind her sister-in-law and sticking out his tongue at her.
Song Qin was so angry that she had a heart attack and was about to catch her.
When Song's mother saw this, she hurriedly stopped her and asked, "Song Qin, what are you doing?"
"Get out of the way." Song Qin said angrily.
Song Dabao was frightened by her expression and hurriedly said to Mother Song, "Grandma, save me, don't move out of the way."
"Okay, don't be afraid, grandma won't let you go."
Song Qin pushed Song's mother hard, causing her to stagger.
Song's mother was furious and shouted, "Song Qin, you are rebellious. You are an unfilial daughter. How dare you fight me? Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?"
Song Qin: "Did I ever tell you to get out of the way?"
"If you have something to say, say it nicely. Why are you so fierce? Dabao is still a child. Don't scare him."
"Oh, I scared him? I think he's very brave. He wouldn't be afraid even if you scared him to death."
As she said that, Song Qin was about to catch Song Dabao again.
Unexpectedly, her sister-in-law Wang Dujuan blocked her way and yelled, "Sister, please talk nicely. What happened? Dabao is still a child. I apologize to you for what he did."
"Heh, apology? Is that enough of an apology? Go in and see what good things your son has done."
Wang Dujuan looked at her son suspiciously, then asked Song Qin, "Sister, what did Dabao do?"
"Go and see."
Wang Dujuan was worried that Song Qin would beat her son, so she handed her son to her mother-in-law and went to Song Qin's room to check.
She was also quite surprised to see the mess on the floor, but she still smiled and said, "What am I thinking, Dabao, did you accidentally drop Auntie's clothes on the floor?"
"Yes, I dropped it on the floor accidentally."
Song's mother snorted coldly, "What am I supposed to be? You look like you're going to kill someone. It turns out that Dabao accidentally dropped your clothes on the ground. Couldn't you pick them up? Even so, you still have the nerve to blame the child."
Song Qin's eyes widened, and she pointed at the mess on the floor and asked, "You call this carelessness?"
Song's mother also went to take a look and saw clothes and things all over the floor, and a few footprints on the white clothes. This... didn't seem like an accident.
Song Qin said angrily, "I just went to the toilet for a few minutes and this happened. You tell me this is carelessness?"
"This... Sister, how about this? I'll help you wash the clothes."
“Is this about laundry?”
She picked up the beads that were broken into two pieces on the ground, her eyes so red that she was about to cry.
"He fell like this, is this a matter of doing laundry?"
"Hey, sister, it's just a glass bead. I'll compensate you."
"Are these glass beads?" Song Qin was almost laughing with anger. She took out the invoice from the packaging bag and threw it into Wang Dujuan's hand.
"You want to pay, right? Fine, you do."
When Wang Dujuan saw the invoice, her eyes almost popped out.
"Five thousand? These glass beads are worth fifteen thousand? Sister, you are really good at wasting money. Mom, do you mind? Sister spent fifteen thousand on a string of glass beads."
Wang Dujuan gave the invoice to Song's mother.
After seeing the price, Song's mother stamped her feet in anxiety.
"I'm dying, I'm dying, damn it. You prodigal son, you spent fifteen thousand to buy such a lousy bead. Do you know that your brother works himself to death for a whole year, even without food or drink, and he still can't earn fifteen thousand. How dare you? How dare you?"
Wang Dujuan also chimed in, "Sister, this is too expensive. We are an ordinary family, we really shouldn't buy such expensive things."
"I spend my own money to buy things, what does it have to do with you?"
Wang Dujuan: “…”
"Mom, look at my sister. I've been trying to persuade her to be more frugal because I'm worried that she's spending money without restraint. If she spends money recklessly now, she won't be able to take it out when she needs it urgently in the future."
Song's mother patted her hands to comfort her, then looked at Song Qin and said, "Your brother can't earn as much as this string of glass beads in a year. You are only thinking about your own happiness. Have you ever thought about your brother?"
Song Qin: "He makes less than 1,500 yuan a year, what does it have to do with me?"
"What does it have to do with you? How did I teach you since you were a child? You are the elder sister, you have to take care of your younger brother, don't you remember?"
“He is only one year younger than me.”
"Little One is also a younger brother."
"If he was still a child, I would be fine taking care of him, but he is an adult now, married and has children."
"He's also your brother, Song Qin. You can't just care about your own comfort and ignore your brother."
"Why didn't I care? Haven't I given enough over the years?"
"You only gave the family 100 yuan this month, and you told me you gave me 20 more. This is too little, not enough to spend. If you have the money to buy these things, you might as well give more money to the family and improve their life.
It's Chinese New Year now. Should you give a red envelope to your brother and sister-in-law, or to your eldest son? Your dad and I are still young and can do the job, so you don't have to be responsible for it for the time being. You can just give Dabao the New Year's gift money first. "
"Heh, when you and my dad get old, you still want me to be responsible?"
"Of course. We raised you when you were little, shouldn't you take care of us when we grow old?"
"What about your brother?"
"Your brother is not well off. He doesn't earn as much as you do, and he has to raise a child."
Song Qin suddenly smiled, "Then why do you raise a son?"
Song's mother: "..."
"Don't you always say that you raise a son to provide for your old age? What? Your son won't provide for you in your old age?"
"Hey, why do you say that about your brother? He didn't say he wouldn't support us, it's just that his ability is limited..."
"His limited ability is his problem, what does it have to do with me?"
Song's mother opened her mouth and said after a moment: "You are my sister..."
"Alright." Song Qin interrupted her before she could finish. "I'm the elder sister. I've heard this since I was a child. My ears are already callused. I won't be the elder sister, okay? I'll call Song Wei brother from now on, and ask him to take care of me, okay?"
"You... Song Qin, how can you talk like that?"
"Then how do you want me to speak? From childhood to adulthood, I have suffered so much unfair treatment just for being called sister. Don't you know?"
"Okay, I won't tell you about my sister. I want to ask you, why did you spend money on these things?"
“I can spend the money I earn however I want.”
"You're talking nonsense. I'm your mother, you have to listen to me."
Song's mother bent down to pick up the clothes, cursing, only to find that they were all new and even the labels were on.
When she saw the price again, her blood boiled and Mother Song was so heartbroken that she almost fainted.
