justice?

Equally?

Chen Xiaoying thought she was dreaming in broad daylight, hearing the extremely biased Li Pingwang say such words.

"Are you fair? You have 10,000 yuan, can you guarantee to divide it equally among your seven children?" She was so angry that she laughed.

Chen Xiaoping and Chen Xiaorong standing by couldn't help but feel embarrassed. Li Pingwang was so biased, but he was the only one who didn't realize it.

Li Hongwei's eyes turned red. He snorted and turned his head away.

Li Hongli couldn't help but say, "Dad, you are so guilty of saying that. If you had 10,000 yuan, you could have sent it to my eldest sister's house overnight. How could you have thought of dividing it equally among the remaining six of us?"

"This is what you have been doing for decades. A handful of sweet potato vermicelli and a bag of garlic are not worth much, but you are in a hurry to send them to my eldest sister's house, let alone money."

Li Hongli is no longer afraid of Li Pingwang. There are many people here, her mother is protecting her, and her father can't beat her.

Li Pingwang didn't think he was biased: "What are you talking about? When did I ever favor your elder sister? It's because none of you are filial. Your elder sister buys me things every now and then, such as clothes and oil. What do you buy for me?"

As Li Pingwang gets older, he becomes more confused and paranoid. He doesn't think he is biased. He has all kinds of excuses and reasons to explain to others that he is not biased.

"Hmph, she takes 10,000 yuan from you and then buys you something worth 100 yuan, and you think she is a good person." This is what Li Hongli often heard her sister-in-law Liu Lanxiang say.

She used to go to school and didn't care much about household affairs.

Her elder sister Li Hongyan is good at coaxing people. She and her elder sister Li Hongyan are of the same mind. They have the same mother, and the sisters-in-law are all from outside.

But after she married Xu Xiaodong and learned about some family matters, she realized how shrewd her elder sister Li Hongyan was.

She takes advantage of everything and yet wants others to know that she is the one who pays the most and suffers the most.

"Hongli, what do you mean? Do you mean that I, as the eldest sister, am not a good person?" Li Hongyan couldn't stand this.

From childhood to adulthood, she has always been the eldest, taking care of her six younger brothers and sisters, and they all have to listen to her.

But now, even though she was open-hearted to them, they all wanted to rebel.

It really chilled her heart.

Li Hongyan was very angry: "Don't forget who helped you go to Yu Xiaona's house to vent your anger when you divorced Xu Xiaodong."

Li Hongli was sharp-tongued at this time: "Sister, one thing is one thing, but the money our parents earned in the early years was indeed spent on you, right?"

"Dad is biased towards you. He won't admit it, and you won't admit it either. You all treat the remaining six of us as fools."

Li Hongli is now a stay-at-home babysitter and has finally realized the truth of living beyond one's means. She sees that the money she has is getting less and less, while the areas where her children spend money are increasing.

She also had a difficult time. Thinking about the difficulties she had encountered since she was a child, her father Li Pingwang paid her tuition for a few years with a stern face, and the rest of the tuition was raised by her brothers.

She was silly. When the family was in financial difficulty and her parents were old, they could only rely on their grown-up brothers.

But seeing that her father kept sending money to her eldest sister's house, who had already started a family and whose son was in college, she simply couldn't accept it.

"I wasn't picked up from a rock by my parents. I'm in trouble too. Why doesn't my father want to help me?"

Li Hongli is selfish. Now when two selfish people meet each other, one has already taken advantage and the other has not. Won’t they dislike each other?

"Dad doesn't support you, isn't it because you are not filial?" Li Hongyan has never lost in verbal battles. She immediately said, "Besides, Dad supports me, that's what he should do. I was the eldest brother, and in order to take care of the brothers, I didn't go to school properly. I dropped out in the second grade of elementary school, but Dad supported you until you graduated from college. You still say he is biased towards me?"

"It's obvious who he's biased towards. Just do the math yourself. How much did you spend on tuition fees from childhood to adulthood? Now that you've graduated, how much money have you earned to give back to your family?"

"At least I buy clothes, shoes, rice and oil for Dad every now and then. Has Dad ever seen a single thread from you?"

Li Hongli was speechless and anxious.

At this time, Chen Xiaoying spoke up: "You dropped out of the second grade of primary school. It wasn't me who asked you to stay home to look after the children, nor was it that Li Pingwang and I stopped supporting you. It was you who was afraid of hardship and didn't want to go to school. Don't blame others for it."

In her previous life, Li Hongyan used this method to control Li Hongwei and others under her.

They kept saying that they didn't go to school properly because they wanted to help her, a mother who had one baby after another, take care of the children. She had worked hard to raise them, and they owed her everything.

She, the mother who risked her life to give birth to the children and was very kind to them, was not the one they owed the most. Instead, it was the eldest sister Li Hongyan who became the person they felt the most sorry for.

In the final analysis, it was because Li Hongyan kept talking about it every day, brainwashing Li Hongwei, Li Hongjian and others.

But as a mother, she never told Li Hongyan, Li Hongwei and others how difficult it was to give birth to them, and how difficult it was to raise them.

She didn't say anything, so they ignored it.

Li Hongyan blushed: "Mom, but I always help you look after the children, right?"

She refused to give up and kept talking about the matter of her babysitting Chen Xiaoying's child.

"At that time, the village was poor, and the eldest child in the family, regardless of gender, had to help take care of the younger brothers and sisters. In the surrounding villages, who was like you? You regarded this as a favor that your younger brothers could never repay in their lifetime, and you would talk about it every now and then?" Chen Xiaoying didn't intend to let her go this time: "A family is a family. You stayed at home to take care of the children, and I went to work in the fields to earn work points. The work points I earned also provided you with food and drink, right?"

"You grew up eating air? I raised you up, I'm your mother, then after you grew up, how did you repay me?"

Having said that, Li Hongyan felt so ashamed. What was wrong with her mother today? Why did she bring up all the trivial things over and over again?

"Dad, what's wrong with Mom? Why is she settling accounts with me? Why doesn't she settle accounts with Hongwei and the others for their kindness in raising her? What have they given her in return now that they have grown up?" She didn't dare to complain to Chen Xiaoying, but could only be angry at her father Li Pingwang who spoiled her.

Li Pingwang had long felt that Chen Xiaoying was biased, and immediately said to Chen Xiaoying: "You said I was biased, but aren't you biased towards the elders? Hongyan's life is hard, and Pengfei is already 26 years old and still hasn't found a wife. The only thing he lacks is a house, and you refuse to give it to him no matter what."

"You bought houses for Hongwei and the others, and Hongli and Hongxia all have houses. Tell me, why are you targeting her like this? This child has been filial to you for decades, how can you treat her like this?"

Li Pingwang and Li Hongyan are the same type of people. They always calculate how much they have lost and never think about how much they have gained.
