However, when Mother Qin heard this solution, the smile on her face froze and her face turned ashen, like the earth covered with frost.
She had thought Qin Wan would offer more generous terms, or even give her a considerable sum of money directly to satisfy her greed. But the reality was so cruel that she couldn't accept it.
She opened her eyes wide, and shouted in a voice so sharp that it seemed to pierce one's eardrums:
"Five dollars? Are you treating a beggar like that? I'm your own mother! It wasn't easy for me to give birth to you and raise you, and you only give me this little money? How could you treat me like this?"
Qin Wan frowned slightly, a trace of helplessness and annoyance flashed through her heart, but she was not affected by Qin's mother's emotions and still maintained a calm attitude.
She had expected Mother Qin to react like this, so she wasn't surprised. So, she responded calmly:
"Mom, five dollars is the most I can give you right now. As you can see, I'm completely dependent on my husband for support and have no independent source of income.
He gave you five dollars just for my sake. If he wasn't such a kind person and willing to help me solve my family problems, he would have given you no money at all.
Besides, you are my mother, but you are not just my mother. You have an older son and a younger daughter, and they also have the responsibility to take care of you. Why do you have to pick on me and take advantage of me?"
If it were in the past, when Qin's mother still had a job, she might still care about her own face and would never argue with others in public.
However, since she lost her job and saw how some people could easily gain benefits by throwing tantrums, her mentality gradually changed and she began to learn to indulge herself.
At this moment, she slapped her thighs hard, jumped forward with both feet, and then pointed at Qin Wan and scolded loudly:
"I worked so hard to give birth to you, and raised you up through all the hard work. I gave you your life, so what if I ask you to give me some money now?"
Qin Wan responded without showing any weakness: "You gave birth to me, but you also gave birth to a brother and a sister. Why don't you ask them for money to support you in your old age?"
Qin's mother answered confidently: "Because they have no money!"
Qin Wan asked in return, "Brother has a job, so he doesn't have money? If they don't have money, then do I have money? I don't even have a job!"
Mother Qin sneered: "The money you earned from selling your job, the compensation Zhang Shengli gave you, and the betrothal money your husband gave you, aren't these all money?"
"Don't you know what I did with the money I earned from selling my work? Now I'll tell you, I saved all the money from selling my work and bought daily necessities when I went to the countryside.
You secretly signed me up to go to the countryside, took away my subsidy, and didn't even prepare a piece of cotton thread for me before I left. If I hadn't been smart, I would have lost my job. You really wanted to kill me at that time!
If I hadn't known this in advance, I would have had to go to the countryside wearing only a single layer of clothing. Do you know what would have happened to me?
Now you ask me about the money I made from selling my work, but you don’t even think about the fact that if I hadn’t made money from selling my work, you wouldn’t be seeing me now, but a pile of bones.”
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look at Qin's mother with complicated eyes. How much she hated her daughter, actually planning to send her away to the countryside like that!
Although Qin's mother was embarrassed, she refused to admit that she had stolen money from her daughter's family. "You are talking nonsense, you little bitch. It's not as serious as you say. You have so much money? How could you spend it all?"
"Mom, how dare you mention the money in my hand? Have you forgotten? When you came to the countryside to visit me, you and Qin Ruanruan pried open the door of my house, turned my house over, and took away all my money.
"Don't just stare at the little money I have in my hand all day long. You should also look at my elder brother. My brother has been working for so many years, and he has always collected his salary himself. Why don't you ask him for money?"
"He is the one who carries on the family line. The little money he earns is not even enough for him to spend. How can I have the nerve to ask him for money? When the time comes, he will marry a wife and have children. Which of these will require money?" Qin's mother said as a matter of course.
"He's the one who carries on the family line, so he doesn't have to spend money, he doesn't have to support his mother? Then what else is there for him besides spending money, enjoying himself, and wanting to drink his sister's blood?
As a man, he takes things and takes advantage of bargains, but he doesn't take responsibility for providing for his parents in their old age? What's the point of having him? Is there nothing to do with the money?
Qin Wan asked a soul-searching question.
"How can you compare to him? He's the root of the family, and you? You're a money-loser. Sooner or later, you'll belong to someone else!"
"Oh, I'm a money-loser. I've been doing housework since I was little, serving your family. Even after I got married, you still want to suck my blood. What's your reason? You're just taking advantage of me, right? I won't accept it!"
As soon as Qin Wan finished speaking, everyone was in an uproar again.
Mother Qin felt that she had lost all her face, so she decided to just throw the can away. She took another step towards Qin Wan and pointed at her, saying:
"I just took you for a fool, so what? I'm your mother, so you have to support me in my old age. Do you want to turn against Tian Gang?"
Looking at the rogue Qin's mother, Qin Wan felt nauseous for a while. She suppressed her discomfort and said:
"Mom, since you don't care about my life or death, and you are pushing me to death, then my proposal doesn't count.
If you want me to support you, then you have to give me your things. The house, the money, everything.
