Upon hearing this, Liu Mei's face fell, and she asked, "Then what do you want?"
Fu Hongmin hesitated for a moment, then said, "How about we let Mother keep the money? We can ask her for it when we need it."
"With your three older brothers like this, what will you do if they run out of money next time and come asking for more?"
He felt his concerns were valid, since the money was earned through his family's hard work, and why should it be shared with his brother-in-law and his family?
Even if Mother takes it and uses it, that's only right.
After all, his mother gave birth to him and raised him; it's better to be filial to her than to give him away to outsiders.
"Pah, Fu Hongmin, you wish."
Even if I give all this money to my brother, you can forget about giving it to your mother.
If it weren't for your mother's instructions, would Deng Fengzhi have dared to poison me?
"Let me tell you, if that's really what you're thinking, I'll take this money, take the kids, and go back to my parents' house. You'll stay here alone and take good care of your parents. I don't care, and I don't want to."
After saying that, she angrily turned around and prepared to chase after Liu Qiang and the others.
Upon hearing this, Fu Hongmin immediately became anxious.
"Hey, why are you so bad-tempered?"
I was just saying that, okay, okay, you can manage all the money.
But it's not right for your older brother and his gang to rob our family like this, is it?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Mei stopped and glanced at him sideways.
"Of course not, but I've stayed at my parents' house for so many days, and what my brother said isn't without reason."
Once things are settled at home, I'll go back to my parents' house and talk to them.
"It would be best if we could get it, but if we can't, we won't give it to them again."
Hearing Liu Mei say this, Fu Hongmin knew that the money was most likely gone for good, like throwing meat buns to a dog.
He sighed deeply, nodded, and agreed.
If we can't respond, what else can we do?
If he were to ask his three brothers-in-law for money, he would most likely end up getting beaten up again.
Seeing that Fu Hongmin had nodded in agreement, Liu Mei raised her head and walked home with a proud and arrogant air.
Just a few steps from the village entrance, I saw Ning Jing talking to Xiu Hua, carrying a basket in her hand, walking back from the foot of the mountain.
The basket was full of wild vegetables; clearly, they had gone out to dig for them early in the morning.
"Oh, isn't this Ning Jing and Xiu Hua?"
Shall we go dig for wild vegetables?
You dug up so much! You definitely can't finish it all. Your older cousin and I have been busy all morning and haven't had time to prepare it. Share some with me; I can use it for lunch.
After Liu Mei finished speaking to them confidently, she reached out to grab them.
When Ning Jing walked over just now, she saw Fu Hongmin and Liu Mei. She frowned, thinking that she couldn't walk over quickly and didn't want to pay attention to them.
Unexpectedly, Liu Mei not only approached them directly, but when she spoke to them, her eyes were practically glued to the basket.
Even though Ning Jing was somewhat prepared, she never expected Liu Mei to be so shameless.
The instant she reached out, Ning Jing grabbed Liu Mei's wrist and slammed it away.
"That's hilarious. What does it matter to us whether your family is busy or not?"
Why should we share the wild vegetables we foraged with you?
Ning Jing pulled Xiu Hua aside and questioned her directly with her hands on her hips.
"Ning Jing, how can you be so petty?"
Even though we live in different rooms, Hongxing is still our cousin, and you are our cousin's wife.
"You dug up so many wild vegetables, it's just a little bit, what's wrong with sharing some with me?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Mei's eyes widened immediately, and she said with dissatisfaction.
