"We eat bran and vegetables every day, without even a bit of meat. If you want to be filial, you should go out and make money instead of coming home to ask me for money! You've studied for so many years, but you've gotten nothing out of it. Xiaohua next door still goes to the mountains to pick wild fruits to make money. Have you ever brought money home in all these years? Not even once!"
"I'm telling you, there's no way you can get money!"
Chen Meihua's saliva flew everywhere. Shu Xiaoya's face turned red and blue. She was not convinced and retorted, "I'm not doing this for myself. I want to borrow money for Brother Xiao's medical treatment."
Chen Meihua was silent, "Xiaoya, have you been deceived?"
How could city people not have money to see a doctor? Why are they asked to pay for it? They must have been cheated!
The more Chen Meihua thought about it, the more she felt it was possible. Her eyes became firm, "Stay at home for the next few days and don't go anywhere."
Shu Xiaoya was anxious, "Is it okay if I don't borrow money? I want to take care of Brother Xiao!"
Chen Meihua raised her eyebrows and said, "Silly girl, how can a beggar ask a poor person to pay for medical treatment? You've been cheated! You should stay at home for the next two days and only go out after you figure it out."
Chen Meihua pushed Shu Xiaoya into the room and locked the doors and windows, making sure that not even a fly could fly out. She clapped her hands in satisfaction and went to cook.
Shu Xiaoya sat on the ground dejectedly, unable to go out. What should Brother Xiao do? Will he starve?
Shu Wan left the office and unexpectedly found Huo Zhengye at the door.
Shu Wan quickened her pace, with a smile on her face, "Why are you here?"
Huo Zhengye held the strands of hair on Shu Wan's face, his eyes gentle, "I miss you."
Shu Wan blushed slightly. She wondered where Huo Zhengye was going for further studies, and kept saying sweet words to him.
"Let's be serious." Shu Wan coughed lightly.
"Your little sister called me today."
"Shu Xiaoya?" Shu Wan frowned subconsciously.
Seeing Huo Zhengye nod, Shu Wan frowned even more, "What did she want from you?"
"Wait, she's not going to ask you to borrow money, is she?"
Huo Zhengye said in a deep voice: "You guessed right."
Shu Wan looked at Huo Zhengye, her eyes flickering, "Did you borrow it?"
Huo Zhengye's scalp tightened, fortunately he didn't have the nerve to borrow money.
He shook his head seriously, "How can I borrow money without my wife's consent?"
Shu Wan chuckled, her eyes full of joy and relaxation, "Sure, I'm very satisfied with what you did."
Huo Zhengye let out a long sigh, his brows softened, "Then should we too?"
"Why are you in such a hurry? Didn't we agree to wait a month?"
Huo Zhengye curled his lips, "I can guarantee that my feelings will not change, it doesn't matter if it's sooner or later!"
"No." Shu Wan still shook her head, her attitude very firm.
"Aren't you curious why I didn't lend money to Shu Xiaoya?" Shu Wan changed the subject and asked Huo Zhengye.
Huo Zhengye looked at her seriously and firmly, "You must have your reasons for making this decision."
Shu Wan felt warm in her heart, and she explained, "I used to pity her because I didn't have the conditions to study, so I worked hard to support her schooling. I saved up and earned all the tuition and living expenses. Even after we got married, I sent her living expenses regularly."
"But she spent my money, used my money, and not only did she not feel grateful, she even looked down on me. She was very quick to ask for money."
"So, I don't want to be a sucker anymore! Whoever wants to take care of this girl can do so. Anyway, she can't expect to get any benefits from me in the future!"
"Not only Shu Xiaoya, but also my parents, brother, sister-in-law, younger brothers and sisters, they are all leeches sucking my blood. No matter who comes to me in the future, I won't give a penny."
