Lin Xiaoxiao's expression was also unpleasant. She knew Li Jiabao best; she would even steal her own sister's man, so stealing other things would certainly not be a problem for her.
Bai Hehua frowned upon hearing this. What kind of family was this? These were pure vampires! Their own daughter (sister) was already in such a state, yet they still wanted to rely on Qiu Tang for support, and they even said they felt sorry for her. If they truly cared, shouldn't they be trying to find a way to share the burden instead of continuing to leech off Li Qiu Tang?
"I roughly understand what you mean. Qiu Tang saved our child, but it was all her own doing, and she did it willingly. Besides, Qiu Tang saved Xiao Xiao, but Xiao Xiao saved her later as well."
“If it weren’t for my Xiaoxiao, it’s uncertain whether Qiutang would still be alive and recovering in the hospital. Strictly speaking, the two are even, but Qiutang did lend a helping hand. We should thank the individual, not your entire Li family.”
"We have no responsibility to support your whole family."
"Hey, sister, how can you talk like that? How can you be so heartless? My daughter is still in the hospital trying to save your family, and you're saying you're going to support our whole family?"
"If it weren't for this incident, our Qiutang would be healthy and lively right now, and none of this would have happened today."
"Besides, we're all family. It's the same whether you give it to us or to Li Qiutang."
"Let me tell you, all the suffering my Qiutang has endured is your fault, and you have to take responsibility." Seeing Bai Hehua's evasive behavior, Li's mother knew she was clearly wary of her.
"So, what do you mean by coming here? You just want a reward? You're not going to leave until you get it?" Lin Xiaoxiao walked out and made her point directly. If that was really what they meant, she wouldn't tolerate it.
Li Jiabao really wanted to make a good impression on Bai Hehua, but being young and pampered at home, she couldn't help but mutter to herself when Lin Xiaoxiao said that, "If it weren't for my sister, you probably wouldn't even have a child. It's only right that you help me out, isn't it?"
“We haven’t even said what we want, and you’ve already refused us. I haven’t even asked you what you mean by that.”
Lin Xiaoxiao: "..." This is extortion! Today I've witnessed what it means to take advantage of someone's kindness. What does this mean? Your child saved us, so we have to agree to whatever your demands are? We're considered heartless if we don't agree? What kind of logic is this?
"Can't you even understand human language? What do you mean by 'should'? 'Should' only apply to Qiu Tang. What right do you have to 'should' apply to us?"
"Neither of you saved me, so why should I give you anything?"
"As I just said, the matter of expressing gratitude has already been arranged. We will not mistreat Qiutang, but we have no obligation to help you. Let's keep this separate and not say shameless things here."
"Besides, Qiu Tang saved me willingly. Even if I don't thank her, the law can't do anything to me. Not to mention I've already made preparations, it's not your place to steal credit here." Lin Xiaoxiao launched into a tirade, saying that with their family's character and shamelessness, there was no need to give them face.
Unexpectedly, Lin Xiaoxiao scolded the two of them as soon as she spoke, and seeing that more and more people were gathering around, the two of them felt extremely embarrassed.
Their own child was someone else's savior, yet they were being berated at their doorstep. They just couldn't swallow that insult.
"We're shameless? We're stealing credit? Look at what you're saying! You're all educated people, but you're all ingrates. My child saved your lives, and it's only right that you help my family when we're in trouble."
“Let me tell you, let alone helping our family, even if you support our family, we can handle it.”
“In the past, we were obligated to serve those who saved our lives for the rest of our lives. Now you won’t even help us when we just asked. I think you are the shameless, heartless ingrates.”
"With your family being so despicable, how can you still be leaders? With leaders like you in our country, I think there's no hope for us. If you don't give it to me, I'll go and argue with you and see if other leaders would care about this kind of thing."
"What do you mean? You're going to sue us if we don't give you the money?" Lin Xiaoxiao glared fiercely at Li's mother. They really dared to take her so seriously; they wouldn't give her the money and then resorted to threats.
"I've never seen such an unseemly family. Qiu Tang is truly unlucky to have family like yours."
"You keep saying you love your daughter and your sister, but have you ever done anything decent? Instead of taking good care of her at the hospital and trying to maintain this relationship for Qiu Tang's sake, you've come here to ruin things. You've been too good to her."
"Go sue, go sue now, stop loitering at my doorstep and disgusting me."
Han Qiulin had just returned when he heard his sister-in-law and mother talking loudly and intensely.
A large crowd of onlookers gathered around.
He quickly squeezed through to take a look and saw that the people surrounded were none other than Li's mother and Li Jiabao, whom he had met that morning...
"Mom, I'm back. What happened? Why are you making a scene right at our doorstep?" Han Qiulin asked as soon as she arrived, completely ignoring the Li family mother and daughter standing beside her.
When Li's mother and Li Jiabao saw Han Qiulin return, they felt as if they had found a pillar of support. This good son liked their daughter, and perhaps he would become their son-in-law in the future. Their son-in-law would definitely speak up for them.
The Li family mother and daughter wanted to say something to Han Qiulin, but Bai Hehua, who was standing next to them, didn't give them a chance and directly told them what had just happened.
"These are the people you hired, right? We already said we would properly thank Qiu Tang personally, but her family came up saying they were in trouble and demanding a thank-you fee from us. If we didn't give it to them, they said they would sue us. How could such a good girl like Qiu Tang have such unreasonable and troublesome family members..."
Bai Hehua was worried that her son might not be thinking clearly, because he liked Li Qiutang and had a biased view of their family. She quickly gave a good talking-to about their actions, hoping to make Han Qiulin's impression of them extremely bad.
Han Qiulin: "......"
Han Qiulin had long ago found out that the Li family were no good people. This morning at the hospital, as soon as they saw him, they surrounded him and asked him all sorts of questions. They didn't even glance at Li Qiutang, who needed care and comfort. That was bad enough, but they even asked where their family lived and came to their door to beg for money. What's the difference between them and beggars?
