"Secondly, I will not lend money. Raising children in the city is too expensive. My salary is not even enough for the children's future extracurricular classes. When my aunt comes to see a doctor, I will definitely find the best specialist, but you must prepare the medical expenses."
Fang Yanming was too lazy to waste any more words and stated his position directly: he had no money, but he was willing to do his work.
Uncle Fang's face turned as black as ink. He subconsciously pulled out his pipe, but before he could light it, Fang Yanming stopped him, saying, "You can't smoke in the car. My wife can't stand the smell of smoke."
After becoming pregnant, Mao Fangfei became extremely sensitive, especially to the smell of cigarettes. She could smell the cigarettes Fang Yanming smoked in the morning, even at night. Her nose was more sensitive than a dog's. If Fang Yanming's uncle smoked a pipe in the car, the smell would linger for a week, and Mao Fangfei would scold him to death.
Uncle Fang, who had been holding back his anger, finally exploded, "Now that you're successful in the city, you look down on your rural relatives? You won't let them stay at your house, you won't let them smoke in your car, and you won't lend them a single penny. Are you planning to turn your back on your family? Humph!"
Aunt Fang and Xu Tianlai also looked very sad. They never expected Fang Yanming to be so heartless, not even letting them into his house, treating them worse than beggars.
Fang Yanming calmly said, "If I were truly heartless, I wouldn't have come to pick you up now. Uncle, don't say such hurtful things. I've made myself clear: I'm fine with helping out, but I can't help with money. I have a wife and children. If I give all my money to you, how will I support my wife and children? When my family was in trouble, you didn't even offer a helping hand!"
"Back then, everyone was struggling financially, so who had the money to spend?"
“I’m also having a hard time right now. I’m heavily in debt to the bank, and I still have to raise my child. We can’t even afford to eat.”
Fang Yanming was lying through his teeth. He was definitely not going to pay anything. No matter how pitiful his aunt was, he couldn't be the one to take the fall.
And don't be fooled by his aunt's pitiful appearance now. Once she recovers, she will definitely turn her back on him and never pay back the money she borrowed. Fang Yanming knows better than anyone how ungrateful this family is.
"You can stay here. I have important business at work and don't have time to stay with you. There are many restaurants nearby. I'll take you to see a specialist at the hospital tomorrow."
Fang Yanming took them to a budget hotel, which cost fifty yuan a day. It was alright, and he was too lazy to ask Xu Tianlai for money. He prepaid for three days' accommodation and left in a hurry. The bureau was too busy to waste time.
He plans to take his aunt to Ye Qingqing's place tomorrow to see what's going on, as a way of showing some kinship. He really can't help with anything else.
After Fang Yanming left, Aunt Fang couldn't hold on any longer and fell into a deep sleep on the bed. Uncle Fang and Xu Tianlai stared at each other, both feeling frustrated and unsure of what to say.
After a while, Uncle Fang said angrily, "Call your uncle. Fang Yanming is a heartless scoundrel who doesn't recognize his own family. Have a good talk with your uncle and aunt."
Xu Tianlai couldn't bear to spend the phone bill, so he went downstairs to make a call from a public phone. Uncle Fang followed him, leaving Aunt Fang alone in the hotel.
Fang's mother has been successfully brainwashed by her cousin, and now she knows that she will have to rely on Fang Yanming for her old age. This has really chilled her son's heart, and her old age will not be so easy. Although Fang's father feels sorry for his younger sister, he is also worried about his old age. The old couple has finally gotten over it.
Xu Tianlai called, just as the elderly couple had just been brainwashed. His niece was quite eloquent, talking about the issue of old age and the three thousand yuan that Aunt Fang had borrowed years ago, which had not been seen for six or seven years. The old couple's unease was amplified by his niece, and they were also dissatisfied with Aunt Fang.
