Lin Guodong couldn't refute this. Zhang Jiao said softly, "They are also Guodong's relatives. Even if they want to take advantage of him, that's understandable."
Who has rich and powerful relatives and doesn’t want to benefit from them?
Li Yunshu frowned and looked at Zhang Jiao and said, "I have severed my mother-son relationship with Lin Guodong. How can my parents and brother still be considered his relatives?"
"They are my relatives, my family. They have nothing to do with you. Even if you want to take advantage of them, you can't."
"Get your stuff and get out of here! Don't make me throw dishwater at you in the middle of winter."
"Mom," Lin Guodong said, looking at Li Yunshu, "I'm your biological son. I know some of my past actions disappointed you, but I also truly recognize my mistakes. Why can't you give me a chance to reform?"
All prisoners can be reformed and become new people.
Li Yunshu sneered, "You didn't change your ways earlier, and you didn't change your ways later. Now that I've opened a shop and made money, and my relatives are from wealthy families, you've realized your mistakes and turned over a new leaf? How come you're so good at choosing the right time?"
Lin Guodong's face flushed red at these words. "Mom, I'm your son. Don't you want me to have a bright future and make a name for myself in the steel mill?"
"Everyone relies on connections these days. I have a family with connections, so why won't you let me recognize them?"
"I've made it big, and you'll be proud of me, right? I'll definitely be filial to you and my grandparents in the future."
"You don't understand what I'm saying, do you?" Li Yunshu started to curse. "They're my relatives. They have nothing to do with you! If you want to make a name for yourself, then do it on your own. Don't think of taking shortcuts by relying on my family's connections."
"Not to mention that you can't rely on them, my parents and brothers are not the kind of people who would use connections to help their children become relatives." The children of the Li family have always relied on themselves. Take Zhenzhen for example. Now no one in their hospital knows what her family does.
"The fact that you haven't accomplished anything remarkable in the steel mill in your lifetime only proves your own incompetence."
In his previous life, Lin Guodong had been trying every possible way to climb the career ladder, and he had given many gifts to please his superiors. When he was almost forty years old, he finally got promoted to a managerial position after being promoted according to seniority.
Hearing this, Zhang Jiao couldn't help but complain loudly, "What kind of mother is this? She doesn't let her son use her connections, doesn't try to support her son, and still says her son is incapable!"
Lin Guodong is the eldest son. Nowadays, all parents will try their best and use all their connections to support their sons and give them a good future.
But Li Shuping is different. Not only did she bring shame to her son by getting divorced at an old age, she also refused to recognize her own son, let alone raise him.
"I'm not Lin Guodong's mother!" Li Yunshu sneered, "I've been sucked dry by your Lin family for most of my life. I can't let you continue to suck the blood of my relatives!"
Lin Guodong felt that what his mother said was really harsh. They were obviously a family living together, so how could it be considered that they were sucking her blood?
What else can she say about not letting them continue to suck the blood of her relatives?
No, are they blood suckers?
Isn't it normal for family members to help each other? How did this become bloodsucking?
"I haven't even seen them in person, how could they be sucking my blood? In your eyes, what am I, Lin Guodong?" Lin Guodong asked with some sadness.
Li Yunshu: "Selfish, snob, wimp, ungrateful."
Instead of relying on his own efforts to make a name for himself in the workplace, he wants to get a promotion and a raise by relying on the relationships with relatives he has never met. What kind of person is he if not a coward?
Lin Guodong: “…”
He shouldn't have asked. It would have hurt him more.
Seeing Li Yunshu scolding Lin Guodong like that, Zhang Jiao felt uncomfortable and gritted her teeth to avoid quarreling.
"Aunt Li, class time is almost up. If you don't leave now, you'll be late." Chunbao, who had been sitting on the stool and listening for a long time, reminded in a low voice.
Li Yunshu said to Lin Guodong and Zhang Jiao with disdain, "Get lost now! Don't delay me from going to class."
"Class? What class?" Lin Guodong asked.
Why on earth is he still taking classes at his fucking age?
Li Yunshu replied directly, "It's none of your business."
Lin Guodong: “…”
"Forget it." Lin Guodong sighed and said, "Mom, if you don't want to forgive me as your son and don't recognize me, I won't force you. Give me my grandparents' address. As their grandson, I have to go see them and know what they look like."
Since his mother is unwilling to take them to meet their grandparents, he will go by himself.
These elderly elders are generally kinder and easier to talk to than his mother, and they are not as sharp and unkind as his mother.
Li Yunshu waved his hand. "That's totally unnecessary. They don't want to see you at all, and I won't let you harass them."
After she finished speaking, she pointed at the two of them and said, "You Lin family members are like sticky candies. Once you get stuck, you can't get rid of it. I am an example of this."
It's all over, I've scolded her, and said a lot of unpleasant things, but it can't stop her from being shameless.
"I really can't make it to class." Li Yunshu looked at his watch and said to Qin Ye who was cleaning the table, "Qin Ye, Mom is going to class. If they don't leave, just throw the dishwater at them."
Qin Ye: "Okay, Mom."
"Let's go, Chunbao." Li Yunshu said, then put his arm around Chunbao's shoulders and walked out the door.
Lin Guodong and Zhang Jiao watched her disappear into the night. Just as they looked away, they saw Qin Ye standing behind them with a basin of dishwater and an expressionless face.
Lin Guodong glared at Qin Ye, tugged at Zhang Jiao's sleeve, and walked away with the malted milk and royal jelly.
Only after seeing the two of them wisely take the child away did Qin Ye continue with his work.
"Mom, I'm cold, give me a hug." Junjun didn't want to walk anymore after walking a short distance, and opened his arms to ask for a hug.
Zhang Jiao bent down and picked up Junjun. "Doesn't your factory director know the Li family? Why don't you go find your factory director tomorrow and find out what the Li family does? And where is this family located?"
Lin Guodong frowned and nodded. After a while, he asked Zhang Jiao, "Do you think I'm really an ungrateful person?"
"Of course you're not," Zhang Jiao said, raising her voice. "How can you be called an ungrateful person? Lin Jianshe is the ungrateful one."
"You didn't stand on your mother's side in some matters, but your mother was wrong in the first place. Even if you are her son, you can't stand on her side when you know she is clearly wrong, right?"
After all, one cannot be neither right nor wrong.
"If you don't stand on her side, she will label you an ungrateful person. It makes no sense at all." Zhang Jiao said with a pout.
Lin Guodong listened to Zhang Jiao's words and felt that what she said made sense. He was not an unfilial and ungrateful person. It was just because he did not stand on his mother's side in some things, so in his mother's eyes, he became an ungrateful person.
Both he and Zhang Jiao are much better than Lin Jianshe and Liu Qin.
