What are you planning to do?
Ma Pingchuan's eyes flickered, and he tenderly raised his hand to stroke the man's slightly cold hand, offering silent comfort.
Zhao Liang felt a warmth in his heart. Ma Pingchuan was always like this. No matter how many difficult obstacles lay ahead, he would always be there for him, protecting him from behind.
Zhao Liang exhaled a breath of stale air, letting out the pent-up frustration in his heart, and his mood improved considerably.
He shrugged indifferently and spread his hands, "They haven't acknowledged me as their son for many years, and I've had enough of being ignored."
Since the two sides can't get along, let's just break it off completely!
"That's right, the retirement money needs to be paid..."
That way, he would not only shut up the Zhao family from saying he was unfilial, but also sever all ties with them.
Ma Pingchuan had no objection to this, as he himself had paid a considerable price for severing ties with his family.
"Okay, I'll go with you. But we need to tell A-Yu and Sister Bai about this first, so that no one can take advantage of the situation."
Zhao Liang nodded, "Of course, this matter should be done sooner rather than later, let's go there tonight."
Meanwhile, Zhao Gang couldn't wait until the end of the workday and left an hour early.
He forcefully took his parents out of the machine factory.
"Hey, what are you doing? It's almost time to get off work. Can't you wait a bit?"
"That's right, you'll be fined if you're caught leaving early! You kid!"
The couple couldn't resist him and were dragged out, but they were still complaining.
Zhao Gang didn't care about any of that. He had always been spoiled by his parents, and there was nothing he couldn't do if he wanted to.
"Ugh, this is so annoying, just come with me!"
He didn't bring his parents home, fearing they would be discovered by his older brother's family, so he simply took his parents out to eat and even found a private room.
"Mom and Dad, you'll never guess who I saw at the factory today!"
Mrs. Zhao ate her meal without tasting it, feeling a little sorry for the cost. Hearing this, she glanced at her youngest son dismissively and said, "Who did you see? Look at you, it's not like we don't have food at home for you. Why did you have to come out to eat? What a waste of money!"
Although the couple's salary wasn't low, they had a large family to support, three grandchildren in school, and two daughters-in-law who couldn't find jobs and could only stay home making matchboxes. With money needed everywhere, how could she not feel the pinch?
Mr. Zhao, however, was eating with great relish, saying, "Mmm, delicious! We're so tired of eating like this every day!"
Ever since that unfilial son returned to Kyoto, he hasn't been able to send any wild game back from the countryside. I haven't tasted meat in ages!
Both his wife and daughter-in-law are stingy; they want to cook without any meat at all, but he, a grown man, really craves meat!
Zhao Gang's parents ignored his question and found it boring.
He angrily threw down his chopsticks and shouted, "Are you guys even listening to me?"
Honestly! He's so short-sighted, only interested in this little bit of meat! If his plan succeeds, he'll be able to eat meat every day!
Seeing that their most beloved son was angry, the couple quickly put down their chopsticks and bowls and coaxed him, "What's wrong? Who made you angry?"
Zhao's mother picked up the chopsticks and put them back in his hand, coaxing him lovingly, "Why are you so upset? This braised pork should be eaten while it's hot. Eat it quickly, don't go hungry!"
Zhao Gang swallowed hard as he looked at the bright red, perfectly marbled braised pork, then picked up his chopsticks and started eating.
However, he still didn't forget to talk to his parents.
"I saw Zhao Liang at the factory today! He's really made it big now! He's hooked up with a powerful figure and suddenly he's the head of the new factory!"
"You know that newly opened factory?"
He kept talking to himself, unaware that his parents were already stunned.
