"It's not that I look down on your kids, but they can't learn anything in China, and they want to go abroad? Don't let people laugh at them," Dong Yun said sarcastically. The third child was deliberately trying to prevent her in-laws from lending them money.
"You're nothing but a piece of trash. Who do you think you are? Do you think my child needs your respect? We have to beg for money to send our child to school. You're so old, what a waste of your life. You're like a toad jumping on a scale, you don't know your own worth. Your family's meager resources don't even have as much pocket money as my daughter." It's no wonder the third brother wasn't being polite.
"You're so rich, why are you still borrowing?" Dong Yun said indignantly.
"Even a son who's just a figurehead can borrow money, so why can't I, the dutiful son, lend money? Second brother, Da Bao is getting married too, you should borrow from Mom and Dad as well. If you want to lend, then lend to everyone; if not, then don't lend to anyone. What a joke! You can't even borrow from your son, how can you expect to borrow from your granddaughter? Who are you trying to fool?" the third brother said sarcastically.
Li Xingguo, panting heavily, said, "Third brother, whether I come back or not is my business with Mom and Dad, it has nothing to do with you. With your resources, you could send thirty children abroad without any problem. I'm just stuck here now. We have no grudges against each other, you don't need to target me."
"Shut your mouth! Your mouth is like a plunger, always upside down. Just because you're poor doesn't mean you're right. Now you remember you have parents? You weren't born from a rock!"
You must have made a lot of money this year, right? When you were rich, why didn't you ever take care of your parents? Now that you're down on your luck, you suddenly remember you have a family, you have parents? Do your parents owe you anything? Your daughter is just like you, always using people when she needs them, treating them only when she needs them. Like a sparrow without feathers, the whole family is a bunch of thieves.
The third brother started spouting nonsense, saying that Li Xingguo was just old but didn't learn his lesson.
"Third Uncle, you're being really mean! My grandparents haven't said anything yet, so why are you insulting us?" Xiaoyuer's face turned red with anger. How could her Third Uncle say such a thing to her?
"Third brother, you've gone too far. There's a limit to how much you can insult someone. How dare you say such things about your niece, who's just a little girl? You have no manners as an elder at all." Xiaoyuer was Li Xingguo's bottom line; in his eyes, his daughter was perfect in every way.
"Li Xing'an, apologize to Xiaoyuer!" Dong Yun angrily pointed at the third brother.
"Damn it, you think you're something special just because you've eaten foreign rice for a few days? What did I say wrong? You can't go to a regular school anymore. You're so vain and mercenary at such a young age. Only you guys think it's good. Let me tell you, live if you can, die if you can't. Drink water if you're hungry, slap your face if you're craving something. Don't always try to take advantage of your parents." The third brother stood up abruptly and slapped Dong Yun's hand away.
"You have no right to manage your parents' money. We'll borrow it from them. Go away and stay somewhere cool," Dong Yun snapped.
"Can't you understand human language? Why don't you go back to your mother's womb and be reborn? Mom has already said she won't lend you any more money. What are you still arguing about? If you keep whining, I'll tear your mouth open." Chunni stood next to the third brother. It wasn't right for a grown man like him to fight with a woman, so she stepped in.
Li Xingguo was trembling with anger. He had considered that Li Mancang and Wu Zhiqi might refuse, but he hadn't expected the second and third brothers to stop him like this.
"Mom and Dad, I was wrong before. I will definitely take good care of you from now on. If Xiaoyuer were that good-for-nothing child, I would never have come back to ask for anything. But she is really outstanding. She is also the root of the Li family. If she becomes successful, she can bring honor to our ancestors. I beg you to help her this time. I will definitely pay her back when I have the money!" Li Xingguo's voice trembled and his eyes were filled with tears.
Dong Yun felt a pang of heartache and knelt down abruptly. "Mom and Dad, please, help our child this time. She's also a child of the Li family."
Little Fish pursed her lips tightly; she remembered all the humiliation her parents had suffered today.
