Dong Yun, covering his mouth, chased after him, yelling, "Dong Wei, you're a beast! Xiao Yu'er is still a child! Your wife went to snatch a child! Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning and suffering retribution?"
Dong Wei started running ahead, while Dong Yun angrily yelled, "I'm telling you, Dong Wei, this isn't over!"
A little while later, Dong Lan returned with Xiao Yu'er. Xiao Yu'er's eyes were red and swollen. As soon as he saw Dong Yun, he ran into her arms, crying, "Mom, Auntie and my aunt took the things away! Waaah!"
Dong Yun glared fiercely at Dong Lan, "You're helping that bitch Yang Fei? Don't you want to acknowledge me as your own sister anymore? Don't forget, without me, you would have been sold to some remote mountain village by your stepmother long ago."
Dong Lan sighed helplessly, "Big sister, you weren't sold, so why should I be? I'm already so old, don't scare me like I'm a child. How could you steal things from my younger brother's house?"
“What do you mean by stealing? I went there openly and honestly. Li Xingguo is Xiaoyuer’s biological father. What’s wrong with me going to get the medical bill receipt? The house was left by our father. I own a third of it. What’s wrong with me taking the property certificate? The gold also belongs to my mother. I can take it if I want.” Dong Yun felt that she was very reasonable.
“Go and take it openly and honestly. Wait until your younger brother is home. If he's not home, what is it if you take it secretly? My younger brother and I paid for Li Xingguo's medical expenses. Why are you asking for a receipt? Did you take the money? Dad left the house to my younger brother. My stepmother accepted it at the time. Now you want a share? Do you think you can get a share?”
"That gold was given to your daughter-in-law by your mother. Why are you eyeing it? I know you're having a hard time right now, and my brother and I have done our best to help you. You can't use all your abilities on us. The closer the relationship, the more you try to ruin it. We are your family, not your enemies. Now, besides us, no one else can help you. Are you determined to ruin your own life?" Dong Lan slammed her hand on the table.
"You think Dad just gave the house to my younger brother? I don't accept that. You helped me because you owe me, it's what you should do. I've protected you for over ten years for nothing. If you want to turn against me because of the house, then go ahead. If it's mine, I'll definitely fight for it. Don't try to use family ties to blackmail me."
"My younger brother even helped pay the medical expenses out of gratitude. That was to thank Li Xingguo for finding them jobs back then. They wanted to get reimbursed for the medical expenses, but it was impossible!"
Dong Yun hugged her daughter, feeling both angry and heartbroken. They were being bullied by an orphan and a widow; she felt she didn't need such relatives anymore.
Dong Lan clutched her chest. "Big sister, are you determined to go down this dark path? For money, you've disregarded all family ties?"
"You all disregard everything and bully a child who is only ten years old. Why should I care? Since you're siding with Dong Wei and his wife, don't waste your breath on me. I'm over fifty years old and I can tell right from wrong. Don't try to reason with me. Get out!" Dong Yun vented all her anger towards her younger brother and his wife on Dong Lan.
Dong Lan gave Dong Yun a deep look, then turned and left. The eldest sister was no longer the eldest sister she had been in childhood, and they were no longer the same people they had been in childhood. They each had their own families and people they couldn't let go of. If their fate had run its course, then they should part ways.
As Xiaoyuer watched Dong Lan leave, he sobbed, "Mom, I'm sorry, I didn't protect those things well. I didn't even know when my aunt and uncle caught up with me."
Dong Yun stroked her daughter's hair, tears streaming down her cheeks. "It's okay, it doesn't matter whether we have those things or not. How can a little kid like you fight against two adults? If the things are gone, they're gone. What Mom wants, Mom will fight for herself."
"Mom, what are we going to do? We've lost everything, how are we going to live?" Little Fish's tears streamed down her face. Let's not even talk about the house, it's too far away to solve our immediate problem. And tens of thousands of yuan, gone just like that.
Dong Yun: "It's okay, let's go to the medical insurance bureau tomorrow morning and wait for them. They won't give us a large share of the money, so they can forget about reimbursing us."
“Yes, so what if they take the money? It’s through my dad’s medical insurance, why shouldn’t we get a share?” Xiaoyuer nodded vigorously in agreement.
