Lin Yaqin quickly added, "Mom, studying for a master's degree is not cheap these days. Not only do you have to pay tuition,
We also need to find another house to live in, and all the miscellaneous expenses together will cost a lot of money, Mom, you have to help Mingyuan."
After Lin Yaqin finished speaking, she saw that Li Guifang looked a little unhappy, and then quickly said,
"After completing his postgraduate studies, Mingyuan will have more opportunities and can earn more money for his family. This initial investment is like exchanging sesame seeds for watermelons."
Li Guifang frowned and asked knowingly, "Ningyuan, tell me the truth, how much does it cost to study for a master's degree?"
Seeing that his mother had finally hit on the point, Li Mingyuan quickly made a five gesture and said, "Five thousand."
Li Guifang's eyes widened in shock. Her voice suddenly rose: "Five thousand?! Do you think your family runs a bank?"
She slapped her thigh and pointed at Li Mingyuan's nose, "Your fourth brother hasn't even found the money for the betrothal gift yet, and your fifth sister is taking the college entrance exam next year, and she can't even afford the tuition for tutoring!
Xiaomei sews buttons in the workshop until midnight every day, and her fingers are bleeding, just to earn an extra ten dollars!
You're so good, you just ask for five thousand?"
Seeing that the situation was not good, Lin Yaqin quickly smiled and said, "Mom, don't worry. Mingyuan is thinking about making a lot of money to honor you in the future..."
"Filial piety?" Li Guifang sneered, "My family is practically broke now, and you're still talking about the future? How many futures do I have left?"
If you two were really sensible, you should help pay for the fourth child's wedding and the fifth child's tuition instead of just sitting here thinking about yourselves and figuring out how to pay for it!"
When Lin Yaqin heard that Li Guifang was still making excuses, she immediately became unhappy. Her eyebrows raised and her voice suddenly rose: "Mom! You make it sound like Mingyuan's study is harming the whole family!
What does it mean to be 'only thinking about yourself'? If he doesn't achieve anything, his whole family will be left with nothing!
Please consider the overall situation. You are so cruel that you let Mingyuan remain stuck in this state. If he doesn't study for a master's degree, how can he have a bright future?"
Li Guifang was choked so much that her face turned black and her voice began to tremble: "Lin Yaqin, you have to speak with conscience!
When did I ever say I couldn't let him study? I've already helped you build your own family and career, how else do you expect me to support you?
What's going on at home right now? Are you blind? Are you blind? Your whole family is working hard to support you through graduate school, and that's why you consider it support, right?
No one in the family is alive, right?"
Seeing his wife and mother arguing, Li Mingyuan also frowned: "Mom, if you really love me, you should bite your teeth and help me this time!
Otherwise, if I don't do as well as others in the future, you will be proud of it. After I go to graduate school, I will definitely have the ability to lead my brothers and sisters to further progress."
Li Guifang was so angry that her chest heaved violently, and her hand trembled as she pointed at Li Mingyuan: "You said it so lightly, just grit your teeth and it will be fine, but why don't you grit your teeth and help Mom?
Are you not as good as others? When will you ever be as good as others?
You are in your thirties and still ask your family for money. Go out and ask your peers, who of them doesn’t support their own family?
You can't even support your own family, and you're still taking your younger siblings to the next level? You need to figure out your own life first!
Where were you when your third brother was carrying cement at the construction site to support your fourth brother’s schooling?
When your younger sister was washing dishes to earn tuition, what did you do to help her? You've been bragging so much, aren't you afraid of it leaking out?
Li Mingli quickly supported her shaky mother and turned to glare at her brother and sister-in-law: "Can you guys stop talking too much?
Do you have to make Mom sick before you're satisfied?"
Lin Yaqin sneered: "Oh, now everything is our fault? Fine, since the family doesn't care, then don't count on Mingyuan in the future!"
Li Guifang slowed down, sneered, and stared at Lin Yaqin sharply: "Relying on Li Mingyuan?
I can count on Da Huang, he can even look after the house for me, how can I count on you? What do you count on?
Besides asking for money, what else can you do? Are you worthy of being counted on?"
Li Mingyuan's face turned pale: "Mom! What you said is too harsh!" He is the eldest son, and his mother actually said that she doesn't rely on him. If this gets out, he will be scolded for being bent-backed!
"Hard to hear?" "I have something even harder to hear!" Li Guifang slammed the table, causing the teacup to clang. "When you get married, your family sold everything they had to raise the betrothal gifts. In the past few years, who would have the nerve to ask for 400 yuan in betrothal gifts? How dare the woman you, Li Mingyuan, marry?
When you gave birth, the whole family tightened their belts to take care of you during the confinement period. Now, the money is gone and the kindness is gone, right?
You two are still studying for a master's degree, you two beasts, what are you still doing? "
After saying that, he calmed down a bit before continuing, "Look at your father. He's over 50 years old, and he's still working in the boiler room. Do you know how hot that place is?"
How much money can he make in a day? If you are still human, why can't you be more understanding of him?
Li Jianghai heard his wife teasing him again and started coughing. Li Mingyu saw this and quickly handed him a glass of water.
Just as Li Guifang finished speaking, there was a loud bang in the room.
Li Minghua kicked over the bench and yelled with red eyes: "Brother! You're not going to give up until your whole family is dead, are you?"
He ripped open his collar, revealing the boiler burn scar on his shoulder. "See? I got it yesterday while covering for Dad! Do you think you're the only one who wants to succeed?"
Li Mingyuan was so shocked by this that he took a half step back. Lin Yaqin suddenly laughed shrilly: "Oh, is the third brother going to rebel?"
She clapped her hands in a sarcastic tone, "Mom, you see, who is making things difficult for whom now?"
"Shut up!" Li Jianghai slammed the teacup down, sending shards flying at Li Mingyuan's feet. The old man pointed a trembling finger at his eldest son:
