Cheng Xiao Kui looked at her younger brother, whose legs had not yet recovered and who was still in a wheelchair.
My brother is lame, but not stupid. He should be able to understand what she and Mom were arguing about.
My younger brother will probably resent her, since the money that Mom went to great lengths to squeeze out of her will eventually go to my younger brother.
Her relationship with her mother had come to an end, and her relationship with her younger brother should also come to an end, right?
After all, who doesn't like money?
When they were poor, their mother treated them well, but once they had money, the family ties changed.
She stared at Cheng Dongkui and said, "I'm here to take back my own money. Our two families have separated, and every penny I've earned is mine..."
As someone who transmigrated from another era, she felt she had already done enough for the original owner of this body!
Cheng Dongkui turned the wheelchair armrests and entered the room, then closed the door behind him, or rather, locked it.
He said, "Sis, you're looking in the wrong place! I knew you were looking in the wrong place!"
After he finished speaking, he turned the wheels of his wheelchair and walked to the innermost part of the room.
This bedroom belongs to Song Wenhui. There is a sewing machine next to the window, and next to the sewing machine near the door is a washbasin stand.
At the far end of the room, against the wall facing the entrance, there was a bed.
On the other side of the wall next to the bed, there was a tall and short cabinet. On the cabinet was a small black and white TV and a large red glass vase with several artificial plastic flowers in it.
The cabinets, with their glass sliding doors, also display various wines, as well as beautiful teapots and teacups.
On the other wall stood a large wardrobe. Large wardrobes were the most popular style of this era; when young people got married, the bride would usually ask the groom to buy this type of modular furniture, a large wardrobe.
Cheng Dongkui walked to the cabinet, opened the sliding door, and took out the large teapot inside.
This large teapot is an old-fashioned porcelain teapot with a very large belly that is straight up and down.
He opened the lid of the teapot and took out stacks of pre-counted money. "Sister, the money is here, you can take it all!"
Cheng Xiao Kui looked at her younger brother in surprise and asked, "Dong Kui...you have to give me all this money."
Cheng Dongkui nodded and said, "I know Mom is wrong, but no matter what I say, she won't listen to me and keeps saying it's for my own good."
Our family earns so much money every day, I can't possibly spend that much. She even said she wanted to buy me a wife. What kind of wife can a disabled person like me get married?
Besides, even when I get married, I want to find someone I like. I don't want someone I bought!
This money was rightfully yours; take it all! If Mom ever mistreats you like this again, I'll cut ties with her completely!
Cheng Xiao Kui was surprised that her younger brother and sister were all understanding and had a very deep affection for her. Even her older sister, whom she had just found, always protected her.
Only her mother keeps saying that she's the one who caused her father's death, and it seems she can never forgive her...
She nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll take the money. Dongkui, you're right. You should marry someone you love, not someone you bought! A marriage without love will be very painful. I'm leaving now!"
She stuffed all the bundles of money into her small green canvas handbag.
She had to take the money. Only by letting Song Wenhui know that this was useless would Song Wenhui not dare to steal money from her house again!
She opened the door and went out of the room. In the yard, Song Wenhui was frantically whipping Cheng Qiu Kui and Cheng Chun Kui with a broom.
Cheng Chunqiu held Cheng Qiuqiu in her arms the whole time, and kept hitting her back with the broom.
Hearing the commotion, the neighbors rushed in to break up the fight.
But Song Wenhui grabbed a broom and started hitting her neighbors, yelling at them for meddling in her business!
Song Wenhui spotted Cheng Xiaokui as soon as she came out and rushed towards her, shouting, "Where's the money? Did you take my money?"
Cheng Xiao Kui said, "I took my own money! This wad of money is extra, it's yours, isn't it?"
After she finished speaking, she took out the extra wad of money and lit it with a lighter.
Song Wenhui stared at Cheng Xiaokui in astonishment, then shouted angrily, "You...you're wasting money!"
Cheng Xiaokui said, "I'll give the money to Grandma for you. I'll fulfill my filial duty for you! Otherwise, Grandma will scold you over there for being unfilial, for being a girl who's always looking outward, and for raising such a money-losing brat for nothing!"
"If you ever dare to steal my money again, I'll burn as much of it as you steal. It's all for Grandma to fulfill your filial duty, so you won't be angry, right?"
With a casual flick of her wrist, she tossed the burning money into the air, where it slowly fell, still wreathed in flames.
She waved her hand and called to her older and younger sisters to leave.
Cheng Chun Kui understood Cheng Xiao Kui's gesture, and she pulled Cheng Qiu Kui out the door.
Seeing the money lying on the ground, Song Wenhui rushed over frantically, stomping out the fire with her feet and picking up the bills one by one.
She picked them up while cursing, crying and shouting.
None of the neighbors helped Song Wenhui.
Song Wenhui really went too far. They had advised her before to treat Cheng Xiaokui better.
But Song Wenhui accused them of being jealous of her, jealous that she could get so much money from her daughter.
Cheng Chunqiu took out her car keys and unlocked the bicycle. She then had Cheng Qiuqiu sit on the back of the bicycle.
She pedaled her bicycle quickly, hurrying out of the alley, afraid that Song Wenhui would catch up with her.
Cheng Qiuqiu cried and said, "Big sister! What about second sister? Aren't we waiting for second sister?"
Cheng Chun-kui said, "Our mom won't stop her from leaving, but our mom definitely won't let you leave."
We'll get you out of here first. Your second sister is capable; she'll definitely be able to escape!
And our mom is probably terrified right now. She wouldn't dare hit your second sister, let alone detain her!
She understood Song Wenhui's personality. Song Wenhui was cowardly to the core. She had no real skills and was always afraid of being looked down upon by others, which led to her developing a very distorted personality of bullying the weak and fearing the strong.
They beat their own children at the slightest provocation.
They regain the confidence they lost outside by beating their children, pretending to be a strong person who has the final say.
With Song Wenhui's cowardly personality, if you're just a little harsh on her, a slap will make her obedient and not dare to utter a sound.
Therefore, she was certain that Song Wenhui wouldn't dare to stop Cheng Xiaokui.
She rode her bicycle to the entrance of the alley, keeping a safe distance, and waited there for Cheng Xiao Kui.
Cheng Xiao Kui wasn't in a hurry at all; she just strolled out without any fear.
Behind her, the sounds of Song Wenhui's sobs grew fainter and fainter, appearing both near and far.
When she walked out of the alley and met up with her sisters, they were too far apart, and she could no longer hear Song Wenhui's cries.
When Cheng Qiu Kui saw Cheng Xiao Kui arrive, she threw herself into her second sister's arms.
She cried and said, "Second sister! I don't want to live anymore! Mom will definitely not let me off this time..."
She cried in despair, thinking that if her mother dragged her back, her mother would definitely break her legs!
