Chapter 25 Want to eat dragon meat for 20 yuan
"Unlike Sister Mengfei, who treats you like this, even I can't stand it anymore."
Liu Jiancheng said, "If you can't stand it, I can't stand it either! You're just a love-struck fool, you have no brains! Did your parents raise you all these years just so you could be someone else's freeloader?"
If you don't think about your own future, you should at least think about your parents.
Liu Jianmei retorted, "Who are you calling brainless? Who are you calling love-struck? Didn't you say you measure things by feelings? Well, I think feelings are priceless! Besides, asking for more money will hurt feelings. Talking about money hurts feelings, don't you understand?"
"Everyone else's bride price is only four or five hundred yuan. Mom said it's not like Mengfei's, who actually asked for 2000 yuan! The Li family hasn't even mentioned any other requirements yet! This isn't about getting a wife; you're trying to kill your parents!"
Liu Jiancheng said, "What's the harm in hurting feelings? If I didn't give her these things, she would have gone on blind dates with other people long ago, or married someone else long ago."
"It's because you like me and we have a good relationship that you've waited so long for me. You, a love-struck fool, have the nerve to criticize me!"
"What's wrong with me saying this? You're such a scumbag! A gold digger! A deadbeat! Every childhood sweetheart makes some demands, but Mengfei's family dares to ask for an exorbitant amount. Aren't they just taking advantage of you like a complete scumbag?"
"What 'traitor'? Say it again, I'm your fourth brother, how dare you talk to me like that?"
The two argued incessantly like elementary school students bickering, which annoyed Zhao Fengxiu.
These two are such a terrible person, and the other is just too much for a love-obsessed person.
One woman emptied her family's fortune and was cuckolded; the other woman was heartbroken and deceived, both physically and emotionally.
Zhao Fengxiu interrupted their conversation with a roar, "What are you arguing about? You two are the same, equally bad. You're like the elder brother laughing at the younger brother? You can't see things clearly in your own affairs, but you're so clear-headed when it comes to the other side!"
If you ask me, you two should just do this: one of you marries into the family and the other doesn't get married. That way, you'll both be at peace! What are you arguing about? How's your job search going?
If you don't pay your household bills next time, you're both out of here! I refuse to believe I can't deal with you two brainless idiots.
When the topic of work came up, they both became dejected, lowering their heads and remaining silent.
Zhao Fengxiu continued, "Especially you, Liu Jiancheng, you borrowed money from Zhou Junjie. You'd better pay it back as soon as possible and have less contact with him. He's a scoundrel. As for the rest, think about it yourself and decide what to do!"
As for proposing marriage to the Li family, let me tell you, I will not do so! Unless they lower their standards, I might reluctantly consider it for you, but everything else is out of the question!
Otherwise, just marry into her family and stop talking to me. Since she loves you so much, and wants to talk about how much your relationship is worth, just marry into her family and save yourself a fortune! It'll be a one-time solution, and I'll pretend I never had you!
After finishing her conversation with them, Zhao Fengxiu was also tired and got up to leave.
Ultimately, they still hope Liu Jianbang will marry into the family. After all, the girl he's dating is a foreigner, so he won't lose much! As long as they keep the family's money safe and don't let him take it away.
But even if Liu Jiancheng were to marry into the Li family, it would be a huge pitfall! The Li family would have completely drained their Liu family dry!
Exhausted from training her children late at night, Zhao Fengxiu just wanted to rest.
But before going to bed, Liu Shiping specifically caught her and said, "What are you really thinking? I didn't have a crush on that Sister Zhang! Don't listen to Jingyi's nonsense."
Don't you know what I've become all these years? Are you even listening? Let me tell you, you're not allowed to date any young, handsome guys!
Liu Shiping kept nagging in her ear, but Zhao Fengxiu was too lazy to listen and said impatiently, "I heard you, I know you, let's talk about it tomorrow, I'm going to sleep now."
Zhao Fengxiu fell asleep immediately, not wanting to listen to Liu Shiping's explanation at all.
She knew exactly what he was like; what was there to explain?
"We've been married for thirty years! You have to trust me!" Seeing that Zhao Fengxiu didn't react, Liu Shiping felt a little dejected and saddened.
...
The next morning, Zhao Fengxiu made only three servings of porridge: one for herself, one for Liu Shiping, and one for Liu Jianxin.
The children were stunned when they came downstairs!
They were all complaining, asking why their names weren't included. Hadn't they already paid their household bills?
Zhao Fengxiu, however, acted shamelessly, ignoring them and continuing to eat by herself.
Although the children were dissatisfied, they had nothing to say.
Just then, Lin Jingyi passed by with Liu Zhenghong in her hand. Liu Zhenghong was five years old. He was a little confused, but he knew that his parents had been bullied by his grandmother recently.
He yelled at Zhao Fengxiu again, "Bad grandma, she's a bad grandma!"
As soon as he finished speaking, all the children's eyes turned to him!
Lin Jingyi's face turned red, especially since she thought she would be subjected to a barrage of insults, but Zhao Fengxiu only glanced at them.
"Yes, Grandma is bad, so you can go eat shit! From now on, you can arrange your own breakfast porridge, so I don't have to cook for you heartless little ingrates."
Lin Jingyi said, "Mom, why are you arguing with a child? Children are very innocent. They just said that because they saw how worried we've been these days. They didn't mean anything by it!"
Zhao Fengxiu chuckled, "If the adults can't say it, then let the children say it. Children are a reflection of adults! They do exactly what you think!"
Lin Jingyi was speechless. "Whatever you think, Mom. Zheng Hong is still unsettled. We can't control what others think of our family."
Zhao Fengxiu said, "Parents can't do anything, but grandmas can? Aren't I a bad grandma? Let the Lin family take care of it! Don't they care? Oh dear, no wonder you're under so much pressure and always acting sarcastic."
You've given the Lin family so much money, and they still don't care! It seems the Lin family doesn't value you, their daughter who's getting married, at all!
"Jianguo, you should really think about what kind of piece of trash you married!"
Liu Jianguo was too lazy to talk, so he went about his business, ate a quick bite, and went out.
It seems Liu Jianguo still has a final grasp on the situation. He's so calm. As a teacher, he can manage his child's studies as long as his own child is by his side. Zhao Fengxiu is too lazy to care anymore.
Liu Jianguo is good at this; if he can't handle it well, then Zhao Fengxiu will be even less able to!
Since we can save money, it's best not to spend it.
It's time to stop subsidizing the Lin family these past few years.
Unexpectedly, Liu Jianxin was in a hurry to leave and was too lazy to even eat his breakfast porridge. Liu Jianbang happened to see this and took advantage of the situation to sit down and eat!
Liu Jianbang chuckled cheekily, "Then I won't be polite!"
He wolfed down his food, without eating it properly!
Zhao Fengxiu rolled her eyes. "Why are you eating so fast? Who's taking it from you?"
As Liu Jianbang ate, he said, “There are so many people in the family, and this is all the food we have. Mom, you’re getting more and more stingy. You don’t even make breakfast porridge after you’ve collected the household expenses! I’ve never seen such an outrageous and shameless mom.”
Zhao Fengxiu said, "Never seen it before? Well, you've seen it today! I'm not as outrageous as you, trying to eat dragon meat for 20 yuan!"
"If you're so calculating, why don't you go find your Jenny Lan? Let her treat you to a feast! Why are you always complaining about what's at home?"
