Chapter 19 Everyone for themselves



"Xiaoyu, your dad took advantage of the Bodhisattva Festival parade on that day, and I was going to watch it with the servants. He pretended to be unwell and stayed home, but actually he secretly opened the safe and wanted to steal money to pay for that old bastard's medical treatment!"

After arriving in the affluent area, Shi Yu and Lin Xiaoying completely severed ties with their past.

But Shi Dawu clearly still has lingering feelings for people from the past.

So when they first arrived in the wealthy area, Lin Xiaoying discovered that Shi Dawu was secretly giving money to Shi Yu's grandparents.

To cut the weeds, you must pull them out by the roots.

From then on, Lin Xiaoying forbade Shi Dawu from touching money.

Luxury homes, gourmet food, servants—Shi Dawu can enjoy all of that.

But you're not allowed to touch the money.

Even the cash in the house was locked in a safe to prevent Shi Dawu from touching it.

Lin Xiaoying never expected that Shi Dawu had somehow gotten hold of the safe's combination!

And while they were all out, he wanted to take the money from the safe and give it to those two old geezers!

Shigure was already feeling annoyed.

Hearing Lin Xiaoying's incessant chatter, a nameless anger rose within her even more!

"Enough!" Shi Yu shouted suddenly.

She said each word slowly and deliberately: "If you follow me now, you'll live a life of luxury and wealth, but if you cause me any trouble, then all of you get out of here!"

Lin Xiaoying was startled.

This was the first time my daughter had ever gotten so angry.

She was so frightened that she dared not utter a sound.

Shi Dawu was also stunned.

Shi Yu's gaze swept over Shi Dawu's face again: "Dad, everyone looks out for themselves. They're giving up a good life and insisting on staying in the countryside, planting a time bomb for me! Don't blame me for turning my back on them!"

"I, Shiyu, don't have grandparents like that! And neither do you! I'll call you Dad now! But if there's a next time, don't blame me for being impolite!"

Shi Dawu's mouth moved slightly.

He is a father, after all.

Shi Dawu felt a little embarrassed after his daughter said that to him.

He was about to speak when Lin Xiaoying noticed and pulled Shi Dawu away.

"How could she talk to me like that?" Shi Dawu still couldn't accept it, thinking about Shi Yu's tone of voice: "I'm her father! How could she talk to me like she's scolding her son!"

Lin Xiaoying glared at Shi Dawu: "How dare you talk like that! Xiaoyu has the ability, so why can't she talk to you like that! You good-for-nothing! If it weren't for Xiaoyu, would you be living such a good life!"

As she spoke, Lin Xiaoying poked Shi Dawu's head hard with her hand and cursed again, "You're just a good-for-nothing, yet you want to help that old codger. No wonder Xiaoyu scolded you!"

Shi Dawu felt terrible.

He said, "Xiao Ying! That's my mom! That's my own mom! We're not short of money! The price of one of Xiao Yu's clothes is enough to cover my mom's surgery fees!"

"As a son, how could I just stand by and watch my mother die?!"

"......."

Lin Xiaoying became increasingly angry as Shi Dawu spoke.

She said fiercely, "If you keep making noise, don't wait for Xiaoyu to get rude! I'll get rude to you first! If you make noise again, Shi Dawu, get out of here! Go back to the slums! Go back to those old geezers!"

"So what if the surgery fee is less than the cost of one of Xiaoyu's clothes! If Xiaoyu doesn't want to pay, then we won't pay!"

"If it weren't for Xiaoyu, would you be living such a good life? Shi Dawu! I'm afraid you've forgotten your old life! Do you really want to go back to your old house? It was dark and gloomy! And in the summer, cockroaches crawled all over the place!"

"Do you remember how those rich people looked at us in the slums? Like we were dogs! Do you want to be a dog again?"

Shi Dawu was rendered speechless by Lin Xiaoying's retort.

He squatted on the ground, covered his face, and cried pathetically!
