Qin Wan paused for a moment, his eyes coldly sweeping over Qin Ruanruan, who remained silent. Then he continued:
"If you despise me for being unfilial, why do you come to me? Why don't you go find your filial sons and daughters to support you? If you want to find me, just come to me. You brought your filial sons and daughters with you and want me to support them. And they are your husband's illegitimate daughter! Old lady, what are you thinking?"
Qin Runrun stood aside, listening to Qin Wan mercilessly calling her "illegitimate daughter". She felt a burning pain on her face, as if she had been slapped several times in public.
She was so angry that her whole body was shaking, and her pretty face instantly turned as black as charcoal, and looked terrifyingly gloomy.
But at this moment, she didn't dare to say another word, for fear that once she opened her mouth to refute, Qin Wan would only humiliate and scold her even more.
So, she bit her lip, suppressed her inner anger and grievance, and lowered her head silently...
Qin Jing watched from the side and felt a little bit reluctant. He endured the embarrassment and wanted to persuade Qin Wan again.
When Qin Wan saw his expression, she guessed what he was thinking. She glared at him angrily and scolded:
"Shut up! Do you think you have the right to criticize me? As a son, you let your mother force your sister for your betrothal money. Are you really innocent?!
As soon as Qin Wan said this, Qin Jing's face turned pale. Yes, my mother did this for me, so am I really innocent?
Qin Jing lowered his head and stopped talking! He had no right to speak!!!
Mother Qin's face was so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out of it. She widened her eyes and looked at Qin Wan in disbelief. She could never have imagined that her daughter, who had always been well-behaved and obedient, would reject her so decisively and even contradict her in public without mercy.
In Qin's mother's impression, Qin Wan has always been a gentle, quiet and obedient child, and has never disobeyed her in the slightest.
However, at this moment, Qin Wan's decisive attitude made her feel extremely unfamiliar, as if the person standing in front of her was not the familiar daughter at all, which made Qin's mother shocked and angry.
"Qin Wan, Qin Wan, don't forget that you have the blood of our Qin family flowing in your veins! The Qin family has worked so hard to raise you to adulthood, and now it's time for you to repay them.
Qin Jing is about to marry her new bride. As her younger sister, you should lend a hand, right? Are you unwilling to even give such a small amount of money?
Mother Qin's voice unconsciously rose a few degrees, with obvious blame and dissatisfaction in it.
After hearing what her mother said, Qin Wan felt as if there was a blazing flame rising in her chest, burning her internal organs so much that they ached.
She clenched her teeth and took a few deep breaths, trying to suppress the rage surging in her heart.
After a while, she regained some composure and responded in an unusually firm tone:
"Mom, if Qin Jing was my biological son, then let alone this betrothal gift, even if it was ten or a hundred times more, as long as I could afford it, I would give it without hesitation. But the problem is, he is just my brother! According to common sense, the betrothal gift required for a brother's marriage should not be borne by a sister.
I only have the obligation to support you, I have no obligation to ask for a bride price for my brother. When my brother gets married, his bride price can either be paid by you or he himself. There is no reason for my sister to pay for him.
As for Qin Ruanruan's dowry, there is no reason for me to take it. She is a daughter born out of wedlock with an unknown mother, so I can't give it to her.
Not only can I not get it from him, but you can't get it from him either.
You are so generous. You value your husband's illegitimate daughter more than your own daughter. You even asked me to give her a dowry. I don't know what you are thinking.
Qin Wan spoke like a machine gun, crackling and leaving Qin's mother dumbfounded and speechless.
Mother Qin had never expected Qin Wan to be so bold and uninhibited. She simply dared to say anything out loud! Didn't she know what "family disgrace should not be made public" meant? She really had no scruples at all.
Mother Qin couldn't help but recall the last scene, and a wave of speechlessness and regret suddenly surged in her heart. She really shouldn't have listened to that little girl Qin Ruanruan's instigation and ran here to ask for trouble and humiliation.
Actually, this time, Qin's mother's main plan was to use the excuse of taking care of the child to get the salary for taking care of the child.
Then, he took it for granted that Qin Wan would serve him in return.
As for the child, why should he be so worried about it? What's wrong with him crying every now and then? Maybe the more he cries, the bigger his lung capacity will become!
Originally, this wishful thinking was made perfectly, and she thought it was flawless. But who would have thought that things would not develop in the direction she expected.
Come to think of it, Qin Wan is not stupid, how could he be willing to take the money but not do anything practical? Besides, Qin Wan is no longer like before, allowing himself to be manipulated and controlled at will!
The room was suddenly shrouded in a thick silence, and time seemed to have frozen at this moment.
Only the occasional clear and melodious bird calls from outside the window slightly broke the suffocating tranquility.
Qin Wan stood there quietly, her beautiful eyes flashing with an incomparable determination and persistence.
She knew very well that if she chose to compromise on this matter, it would be like a dam bursting, and it would be impossible to control it, and she would be faced with similar unreasonable demands one after another.
She would never allow herself to become a tool for the Qin family's insatiable and endless demands. She had her own principles and bottom line.
Qin's mother looked at Qin Wan, who was so determined, with a serious expression on her face, and she couldn't help but feel a deep sense of powerlessness in her heart.
She suddenly realized that her little daughter, who used to be well-behaved and obedient and let her do whatever she wanted, had now grown up and possessed the ability to think independently and had distinct personal opinions.
Faced with such a change, Qin's mother couldn't help but feel a trace of regret in her heart. Perhaps she really shouldn't have made such an excessive request to her daughter.
However, Qin's mother was a person of strong character. Even though she knew that she was in the wrong, she was unwilling to show any weakness in front of Qin Wan, and she never mentioned admitting her mistake.
Her face darkened, and she snorted coldly before speaking:
"Alright, since you've made up your mind, let's just leave it at that. However, you must remember your disobedience towards me today, and don't wait until it's too late to regret it before you realize it!"
After saying that, Mother Qin turned around abruptly and walked towards the door without looking back.
