Originally intending to lash out at her father, Liang Yueling immediately changed her expression upon hearing that he was going to buy Gao Kexin a cell phone, and said with a grin:
"Oh, this is the one Kexin used before. I'm charging it to see if it still works. Did my sister give you money again? She even bought Kexin a phone. She should have used that money to help me out instead."
Liang Yueling's father reached out and scratched his somewhat gray hair, chuckling.
"Wait here, Dad will get it for you."
As he spoke, Liang Yueling's father jogged to the study and returned less than two minutes later with a wooden box in his hand, beaming.
"Here you go, this is 50,000 yuan that I got from your sister a few days ago. I was planning to give it to you sometime, but since you're here, just take the money."
Seeing that there was only 50,000 yuan, Liang Yueling pouted and took the money, putting it into her bag.
"Why only 50,000? My sister is so rich, you should ask for 500,000 or 1 million. My sister is also generous, she can easily afford 50,000."
Liang Yueling's father was a little embarrassed for a moment, and could only smile ingratiatingly and chuckle awkwardly.
"Look at your silly face. It's because you're so easily satisfied that your promising daughter and son-in-law are trying to fool you with this little bit of money."
Liang Yueling was no longer acting crazy. Seeing her father still standing in the bedroom, grinning foolishly and staring at her, she suddenly felt irritated and waved her hand to chase him out.
"What a disgrace. If I had a daughter like that, I would definitely ask for tens of millions. The Li family doesn't lack that much."
At this moment, Liang Yueling suddenly felt that Gao Kexin's idea of kidnapping Xiao Yanbao was a very wise thing to do. After all, compared with Xiao Yanbao's safety, tens of millions were nothing. She could also run away with her husband.
"No, no."
Liang Yueling suddenly thought of something and kept muttering the word "wrong" to herself. After a moment, she finally sorted out her thoughts.
This money was obtained thanks to Gao Kexin's idea. My husband will definitely thank Gao Kexin, which would make me seem very useless. That won't do. I also need to get some money, and I need to get it before Gao Ping gets the ransom. That way, I won't seem so useless in the future.
Thinking of this, Liang Yueling looked around her parents' bedroom, then picked up the bedside lamp and smashed it on the floor with a bang.
"What's wrong? What's wrong? Yueyue, are you alright?"
Liang Yueling's father, who was sitting cross-legged on the living room sofa, rushed into the bedroom barefoot without even putting on slippers, not even noticing that a broken light bulb at the bedroom door had pierced the sole of his foot.
"Dad, this isn't fair. I don't want to live like this."
Liang Yueling's father didn't understand what she was talking about for a moment. He just checked with concern to see if the broken lamp had hit his precious daughter's legs and feet. After seeing that she was alright, he reached out and touched Liang Yueling's hair, his face full of heartache.
"Dad is sorry, I can't give you a good life. Is there anything else Dad can do to help you? Dad will listen to you."
Liang Yueling didn't speak, but kept sobbing. Just then, Liang Yueling's mother, who had gone downstairs to buy something, opened the door and came in.
"Old Liang, come pick me up quickly! The supermarket is having a vegetable sale, I bought a lot, five yuan's worth is enough for us to eat for several days."
All that could be heard was Liang Yueling's father shouting and cursing loudly from the bedroom.
"You old hag, get over here right now."
As soon as Liang Yueling's mother entered the room, she saw Liang Yueling's shoes and immediately dropped the vegetables she had been holding so dearly on the ground. Without even changing into slippers, she rushed into the bedroom.
"Yueyue's back? What happened?"
As soon as Liang Yueling's mother entered the bedroom, she saw Liang Yueling standing by the bed, crying incessantly. She anxiously asked what was wrong, and then Liang Yueling's father pointed to the lamp and shards of glass on the floor and angrily said:
"I kept telling you not to put glass things by the bedside, and they almost hit my daughter. It's all your fault, you old hag. I'll teach you a lesson later."
Liang Yueling's mother quickly squatted down to pick up the broken pieces of the lamp from the ground, but Liang Yueling's father kicked the old lady, who was holding the glass shards, to the ground.
"Why didn't you check if the child was hurt first? Why did you pick up that broken lamp? Are you upset about the lamp? Is the lamp more important than your daughter?"
Liang Yueling's mother pricked her palm with a shard of glass, frowning and not daring to make a sound. Liang Yueling felt that the time was right, so she stormed into the living room, sat down on the sofa, and then casually smashed another glass on the floor.
"Oh dear, what's wrong with you? Tell me quickly, and Dad will think of a solution for you."
Seeing that Liang Yueling was still angry, Liang Yueling's father dragged his aching foot into the living room, leaving a long trail of blood behind him.
Liang Yueling paid no attention to her father's bleeding foot, and just sat on the sofa and spoke angrily.
“I need money. My life is nothing like my sister’s. I worry about money every day, while your daughter’s family is starving to death.”
Seeing his beloved daughter upset about not having money, Liang Yueling's father immediately came to her side and said with a pained expression:
How many do you need? I'll figure something out for you.
When Liang Yueling heard her father speak like that, she was not happy at all. Instead, she frowned and looked angry.
"If I want it, but you can't produce it, what's the point of you asking me?"
Seeing that his beloved daughter was still sulking, Liang Yueling's father patted his chest and said:
“I don’t have any, but your sister has some. Name your price, and I’ll ask your sister for some.”
Liang Yueling huffed and puffed, putting her legs up on the coffee table, even leaving her slippers on the tray with the water glasses. She spoke with obvious reluctance:
“That won’t do. My sister and brother-in-law’s family already look down on me and Gao Ping. Ke Xin is being bullied by them. We absolutely can’t ask them for money just because Gao Ping and I are short of it. We’d lose face.”
After Liang Yueling finished speaking, her father looked at his eldest daughter with a troubled expression. At this moment, Liang Yueling's mother came out of the bedroom. Seeing that her husband and daughter were unhappy, she did not dare to throw the glass shards in her hand into the trash can and stood blankly in the hallway.
"What are you standing there for, you old hag?"
Surprisingly, when Liang Yueling saw her father being harsh with her mother, she actually defended her mother.
"Dad, don't say that about Mom. She's had a tough time too."
Liang Yueling's mother looked at Liang Yueling with great gratitude, and then tentatively began to speak:
“Daughter, you’re smart. Why don’t you give your parents some advice on how to get more money without losing face?”
Liang Yueling had been waiting for these words. Now that her mother had spoken, although she really wanted to get her idea out of her head, she still put on a hesitant expression.
“Dad, why don’t you move to a different house? Let the Li family buy you a new house first, and then sell this one. I’ll borrow the money for the house for a few years, and then give it to you two when I have more money.”
