Goodness, that means they admit Qingli came to their house today.
Song Guomin roared, "What did Zhang Qingli do that you don't know? Fifth Brother, do you know about this too?"
Song Jianmin panicked.
"I...I don't know either."
“Mom and Dad, Big Brother, Qingli isn’t that kind of person. She definitely wouldn’t take the necklace.”
Liu Aimei spat, "Listen carefully, it's stealing! Not taking! Song Jianmin, you're blind as a battered ram, colluding with outsiders to steal from your own people. Neither of you are good people!"
Song Guomin also berated Song Jianmin, "Everyone knows the Zhang family's character the day you walked in. You still have contact with Zhang Qingli. You don't care about your parents at all! You should all check yourselves. Besides Aimei losing her necklace, have any money or other valuables gone?"
"Second brother, hurry up and look for it."
Song Yangmin's expression changed slightly, but he remained standing still.
The three brothers each had their own lockers. The third and fifth brothers locked theirs, but the second brother's locker was unlocked. Inside, there was an iron box containing money.
After being scolded by his eldest brother, Song Jianmin turned to look at his parents.
Song Xinfu remained silent.
Xu Guiying's expression was similar to her husband's, showing utter disappointment in Song Jianmin.
Song Jianmin panicked. "Mom and Dad, I don't know. I only went to the toilet once in the middle of the trip. I... Qingli wouldn't do such a thing."
Xu Guiying turned to her second son, "Second son, is your money too little?"
Song Yangmin went inside to get some supplies and didn't come out for a while. He probably found that some money was missing. He originally thought that the third or fifth brother might have taken it, but he didn't expect it was Zhang Qingli.
The second son frowned, "It's 30 yuan short."
Xu Guiying slapped Song Jianmin across the face.
"How many times have I told you to break off contact with Zhang Qingli? You won't listen to me and you've made a mess of the whole house! You're moving out tonight!"
Song Jianmin's eyes reddened, and he burst into tears.
"Mom, I know I was wrong, I'll never do it again."
"You're not afraid, you'll dare again next time! This time your house was robbed, next time it'll be arson and murder!"
“How did Li Xiaozhi treat Yingying? Are you still Yingying’s brother?! You’re hanging out with people who bully their own sister. Your father and I didn’t raise you well. You’re an adult now, go out and live on your own.”
Xu Guiying had originally hoped to correct the situation if possible, but now she has given up on that idea. Some people are just heartless beasts at heart.
The eldest brother and his brothers all looked over.
Does Mom mean... that we should separate the family?
Song Jianmin cried and went to Song Xinfu again, "Dad, please persuade Mom. I really know I was wrong. I won't contact Zhang Qingli anymore. I don't want to move out."
Song Xinfu had completely given up on this son.
He shoved Song Jianmin aside and said, "We'll go to the Zhang family to ask for the money later. You've worked for so many months and saved up some money. Give them your living expenses first, and you can move out tonight."
Song Jianmin cried uncontrollably, “I will give you living expenses, I will give you every month, Mom and Dad, I don’t want to separate the family.”
Song Yangmin wanted to persuade him further, "Mom and Dad, fifth brother..."
Xu Guiying glared at her, "Shut up! If you don't change your kind-hearted nature, you can move out too!"
Song Yangmin shut up.
Song Rongrong and Song Yingying stood outside the door, watching Song Jianmin cry pitifully.
The two girls felt sorry for her, but they didn't try to persuade her otherwise.
Song Guomin and Liu Aimei didn't know if their parents were really going to kick their fifth son out.
The most important thing is to find the necklace.
Liu Aimei: "Mom and Dad, let's go to the Zhang family now."
Xu Guiying: "Wait a minute, Fifth Brother, you pay your living expenses first."
Afraid of upsetting his parents, Song Jianmin quickly went to get the money. He needed to make up for the 30 yuan living expenses, but he only had 25 yuan in his hand.
Xu Guiying took the money without any hesitation.
"Remember, you still owe your family 5 yuan."
Song Jianmin: "Mom and Dad, I'm your own son!"
Song Jianmin is the youngest child. In the past, the elderly couple would always give Song Jianmin special treats whenever they had a little something good to eat. They never expected that they would raise such an ungrateful child.
The problem is not scarcity, but inequality.
Xu Guiying didn't understand this principle before, but now she does!
Treat everyone equally.
Even if it takes her two hands, she still has to keep the water level!
The third brother, quick-witted, said, "I should have given all the money, so that when Zhang Qingli cries later, you won't have to pay for it again. How could I have a brother like you?"
Song Jianmin: "Song Anmin, stop talking!"
Song Anmin sneered, "You should be glad your surname is Song, otherwise you'd be locked up by now!"
No one in the family spoke to Song Jianmin. Song Xinfu and his wife had already left the yard, with their eldest son and his wife, along with their second and third sons, following behind.
Song Jianmin looked at Song Yingying and Song Rongrong.
"Sis, please put in a good word for me with Mom and Dad."
Song Rongrong is only one year older than Song Jianmin, and Song Rongrong looks more like the younger sister.
Song Rongrong: "Fifth brother, I told you long ago that Zhang Qingli is no good, her character is not right, but you insisted on marrying her and made such a mess of the family. There is a reason why Mom and Dad are angry."
Song Jianmin was extremely annoyed. "Stop talking."
Song Yingying tugged at Song Rongrong.
Song Jianmin then looked at Song Yingying, "Yingying, Fifth Brother has always been so good to you, why don't you talk to your uncle and aunt about it?"
Song Yingying was only sixteen years old, small in stature, and cute.
"Fifth Brother, I will listen to my Uncle and Aunt."
Song Rongrong glared at Song Jianmin: "How dare you say that! If it weren't for Li Xiaozhi, would Yingying have gotten into trouble?! How dare you call yourself a brother, a brother in your dreams?!"
Song Yingying thought her fourth sister made sense. "Fifth brother, you should apologize properly."
Song Jianmin was verbally abused by Song Rongrong until he was completely humiliated.
He couldn't help but argue, "Qingli is Qingli, and Li Xiaozhi is Li Xiaozhi."
Song Rongrong couldn't stand it anymore, so she picked up a broom and tried to throw Song Jianmin out.
"Get out! If you like Zhang Qingli so much, then go to the Zhang family! I don't have a brother like you!"
Song Rongrong and Song Yingying had to stay and look after the house, as well as their two nephews and nieces.
Feeling frustrated and having been scolded again, Song Jianmin followed the Song family members ahead of him, dejected.
Seeing that the family was about to leave, Aunt Wang from next door called out to Xu Guiying.
"Guiying, what's going on? Where are you all going?"
Liu Aimei was furious and rattled off a whole story about Zhang Qingli.
Aunt Wang exclaimed, "Oh dear! I saw your fifth son bring Zhang Qingli home this morning—"
Now I don't care about airing my dirty laundry in public anymore.
The Song family had a fight that night, and I bet all the neighbors heard it.
Xu Guiying frowned: "Aunt Wang, we're leaving now."
Song Xinfu glanced back, then strode back and grabbed Song Jianmin, pulling him to the front.
"You lead the way!"
