Qin Qing was about to say no when she heard a knock on the door, followed by her aunt's yelling. Then she heard her uncle hastily hang up. A busy tone rang out on her phone. Qin Qing frowned. Her uncle had said he'd wired her two thousand yuan. Who knew how long this was his hidden stash? If her aunt found out, it would probably be another huge fight.
However, Qin Qing thought about it, and since the day was only a few days away, her original thoughts of returning the money vanished without a trace. She thought it would be better to use the money to buy more things, which would provide an extra layer of security. She dug out the bank card she used for her part-time job and stuffed it into her bag. She had been focusing on buying food and exercising lately, and hadn't been out much at all. She decided to take this opportunity to explore S City and familiarize herself with the routes.
Qin Qing walked out the door easily. Just as she expected, Ye Chengzhong's face was scratched by his wife's nails, leaving several bloody marks. He didn't dare to fight back, so he slammed the door and left. "How dare this bastard slam her door?" Huang Meijuan's chest heaved with rage, and she was filled with anger.
She was even more angry at that little bastard. The old man had left so many good things for her. He was just an ungrateful bastard who ate her family's food and used her family's things. Now he even dared to encourage this dead man to secretly take money from his family to support her.
Just as I was feeling angry, the door opened and a boy in a jersey walked in. He wore his hat askew and had earrings in his ears. As soon as he entered, he yelled, "Mom, I'm so tired! Is there anything to eat?" As he spoke, he threw his backpack to the ground and casually tossed his basketball into a nearby basket.
"You kid, why are you throwing things around? There are dumplings I made this morning in the refrigerator. Mom will cook some for you." Huang Meijuan quickly put away the anger on her face when she saw her beloved son coming back. She picked up the backpack he threw on the ground and the basketball thrown in the dirty clothes rack, and put them aside while nagging.
Ye Shufeng had already found a box of yogurt in the refrigerator, took an apple and walked out of the kitchen while biting it, then lay down on the sofa and said to Huang Meijuan, "Mom, you are so annoying! Just cook whatever you have, I'm starving!" After that, he pressed the remote control and started watching TV.
Huang Meijuan quickly sighed "Hey" and went into the kitchen to cook for her son. Don't say it, after arguing with that dead man just now, she was really hungry! The dumplings were all wrapped in the morning, boiled in water, and soon a bowl of fragrant dumplings was brought to Ye Shufeng.
Ye Shufeng blew a breath of hot air, then said to Huang Meijuan, "Mom, I saw Dad go out angrily just now. Did you quarrel with him again?" After saying that, he took a bite of the dumplings on the soup bowl, but he didn't expect that it was still very hot. He hissed immediately, cracked the corners of his mouth, and swallowed the dumplings in one gulp.
Seeing this, Huang Meijuan hurriedly said, "Eat slowly, huh, just help him! How could I be arguing with him? It's all because of that little bastard. She instigated your dad to secretly take money for her to spend. I don't care. If your dad doesn't bring the money back this time, he won't come back to me!" After that, she sat on the sofa angrily and sulked.
Ye Shufeng rolled his eyes, swallowed a dumpling, and said to Huang Meijuan, "What little bastard? My cousin has had a hard time too, Mom... I just can't understand why you always quarrel with Dad over her? She doesn't live with us now, and Dad is her uncle, so it's reasonable for him to help her if she needs anything. Why are you so angry? I must have been picky in front of you, right?"
Huang Meijuan was extremely angry, but couldn't bear to blame her son, so she could only say hatefully: "What cousin? You and your son have been brainwashed by that little witch, and you say everything for her. Also, what about your sister picking on me? She is your real sister, okay? Isn't your sister doing this all for you?" After saying that, she poked her son's head with her finger, but didn't dare to use force.
Ye Shufeng tilted his head, ate the dumplings in his bowl in two or three bites, then curled his lips and said, "Come on, she's just jealous of my cousin. She's been like this since she was a child. Whatever my cousin likes, she will definitely grab it. I'm not a three-year-old child anymore, why are you still trying to coax me?"
"Your sister said that the damn girl was expelled from school, and now no one knows where she has gone. I guess she is working somewhere and can't make a living, so your dad sent her money. Anyway, I don't care. If your dad doesn't get the money back, then don't come back! Let him live with that little bastard!" Huang Meijuan spoke with gloating at first, but later, thinking of Ye Chengzhong's refusal to give in this time, she became more and more angry.
Seeing his mother like this, Ye Shufeng immediately stood up, stretched and said, "I don't want to bother with your nonsense. I'm so tired. I'm going to sleep for a while. Don't disturb me!" After that, without waiting for Huang Meijuan to speak, he quickly went upstairs and closed the door.
Huang Meijuan was left with a lot of grievances but nowhere to vent them. After much thought, she could only pick up her cell phone and call her daughter.
Ye Shuxin was walking around the mall with her classmates when she saw her mother's phone call. She said hello to her classmates and then walked over to answer the phone. Before she could say anything, Huang Meijuan's aggrieved voice came from the other end of the line.
Ye Shuxin frowned, moved her phone slightly away, and waited for Huang Meijuan to vent her anger before finally understanding what her mother was trying to say. Her brows, already furrowed, knitted together. She had been happy to hear Qin Qing had been expelled from school, but she hadn't expected a quarrel to break out at home over Qin Qing.
"Mom, why don't you just talk to Dad nicely? You'll be happy only if you drive him to Qin Qing's place? Never mind. I'll call Dad later and ask him if I can find out where Qin Qing is. Then I can go get the money back!" Huang Meijuan nodded repeatedly when she heard her daughter say this.
After hanging up the phone, Xie Yuqin, a female classmate who had been shopping with her, came up to ask what was wrong. Ye Shuxin forced a smile and said, "It's my cousin. After she was expelled from school, I don't know where she went to have fun. Then she ran out of money and asked my dad for money! Now my mom and dad are arguing about her, and I don't know what to do."
Xie Yuqin immediately yelled, "What the hell? Xinxin, you're so good-tempered! If it were me, I'd have slapped a cousin like that and slammed her against the wall. Why do you think it's your duty to suck all the blood out of your family like a bloodsucking worm?"
Ye Shuxin lowered her slender neck slightly, revealing the fair skin behind it. Her eyes were slightly moist, and she said good-naturedly, "There's nothing I can do about it. My dad is her uncle after all! He always says she's my younger sister and I should be more considerate of her."
