Didn’t Li Yang want to distance himself from them?
Okay, I might as well agree to her for now, solve the current problem, and then settle the score with her!
Since ancient times, what does it matter if a daughter is married off? How can she ignore her parents?
If Li Yang dared to ignore them, she would go to the jewelry factory and make trouble at their doorstep every day, and then see how the couple behaved!
If Ji Huaizhi has the guts, just hit her again. This time, she will not suffer in silence anymore. She will make sure everyone knows about it!
It would be fine if Ji Huaizhi was shameless, but she knew Li Yang best and she would definitely not be able to tolerate other people's spit and cry and tell her that she was wrong.
By then, not only will Li Yang be responsible for the couple, but also for Li Yaozu's future studies, marriage and having children!
Unfortunately, Feng Mei's calculations were working perfectly, but Li Yang had no idea what she was doing.
If she were to live her life again and easily trust Feng Mei again, she would not regret dying a hundred times!
Her eyes turned slightly cold, and she said calmly, "Isn't all my money with you?" She took a step closer and said, "I started working in 1985, earning 60 yuan a month. It's been almost four years now, and my salary has increased to over 80 yuan a month.
Besides the so-called 40 yuan a month for living expenses, which increased from 50 yuan, and the lunch money in the factory cafeteria, which increased from 5 yuan to 8 yuan, you took the rest of the money, saying you were saving it for me and would give it back to me when I got married.
Li Yang pretended to snap her fingers, a mocking smile on her lips. "Don't count it too much. The money I've deposited with you over the past four years is at least 800 or 900, if not 1,000." She held out her hand. "Mom, didn't you say you'd give it to me when I get married? Where's the money?"
In 1985, Li Yang had just started high school. She studied diligently and achieved excellent grades, and her teachers saw her as a promising student with the potential to be admitted to Tsinghua University or Peking University. The teacher had shared Li Yang's academic progress with Feng Mei, hoping she would support her studies. However, this sparked other concerns in Feng Mei.
Feng Mei immediately frowned and said, "Why do girls need to study so much? They will get married in the future anyway."
In Feng Mei's mind, Li Yang's excellent academic performance was useless. It would be better for him to marry into a good family in the future and earn more dowry for her.
Besides, if Li Yang really got into Beijing, she would have no control over her at all, which was something she absolutely could not allow to happen!
In addition, Feng Mei had spent a lot of money to send Li Yaozu to a good junior high school at that time, and the family's finances were a bit tight, so she set her sights on Li Yang.
Feng Mei secretly arranged for Li Yang to withdraw from school.
Li Yang returned home crying and wanted to question Feng Mei, but Feng Mei was already lying on the bed, crying "Ouch, ouch," as if she had a serious illness.
She said to Li Yang, "You and your brother both need to study, but our family is struggling right now. Mom is sick, and your uncle needs money to build a house... We can't afford to support you in your studies anymore.
I have already contacted a factory for you. After you drop out of school, you can go there to work. You can earn 60 yuan a month and help support your family. "
Feng Mei even deliberately gave Li Yang hope: "In the next one or two years, when our family's financial situation improves, if you want to study again, Mom will definitely not stop you."
Therefore, no matter how unwilling Li Yang was, she could not disobey Feng Mei and ignore her health. She worked diligently, thinking that one day she could return to campus, but she did not expect that something or other would happen in the past few years, preventing her from fulfilling her wish.
She later found out that Feng Mei used most of the money she earned from work to subsidize her parents' home, and the rest was squandered by Lai Yaozu. How could she save any money?
Her monthly lunch allowance of 5 yuan was not enough for her in a provincial capital like Yangcheng. So she could only eat steamed buns or white rice with free soup in the cafeteria. Sometimes, when she was really broke, she would not go to the cafeteria and constantly drink water to satisfy her hunger in the workshop.
Over the years, she had mentioned raising the meal fee to Feng Mei, but every time Feng Mei dismissed her with various excuses. Later, Li Jianhai couldn't stand it anymore and made Feng Mei give in.
Compared to her enduring hunger, Lai Yaozu ate and drank to his heart's content. Sometimes he even used her hard-earned money to treat classmates to a meal or give gifts to female classmates.
After hearing what Li Yang said, the onlookers couldn't help but sigh.
What about living expenses? Forty or fifty yuan a month? And Li Yang's lunch at the factory, how can a few yuan a month cover that? This is a provincial capital!
As a result, everyone looked at Feng Mei with even more contempt than before.
This mother is such a piece of shit!
Hearing Li Yang mention the monthly salary, Feng Mei's face immediately changed: "You gave me everything, don't talk nonsense here!
Besides, you eat my food and live my house every day, so shouldn’t you pay for your living expenses?
Your father and I are still alive. It's only natural that the salary should be handed over to us before the family splits up! Don't even mention that you didn't give it to me. Even if you did, there's no reason to ask for it back!"
Feng Mei had long regarded Li Yang's salary as her own property. How could she still remember that she had deceived Li Yang and said she would return it to her?
Besides, all the money that went into her pocket had been spent. Where could she get it back?
Li Yang had anticipated Feng Mei's denial, so she wasn't anxious. She simply withdrew her hand, looked at Feng Mei intently, and said softly, "Mom, you can deny it, but God is watching us. As long as you're true to your conscience and to the bright daylight of heaven, that's all that matters!"
No one knew whether it was to cooperate with Li Yang or it was just a coincidence, but the moment she finished speaking, a loud thunder suddenly sounded out of nowhere on the originally cloudless sky.
