The next morning, Grandpa Song came to the hospital to hand over his shift to Xu Guiying.
Song Yun also knew about this. She didn't go to the store in the morning, but came to the hospital to see Song Xinfu.
Song Yun never expected Song Guomin to go to such lengths.
Is a house more important, or family?
Xu Guiying went straight to the bank.
"Ma'am, what kind of service do you need?"
Xu Guiying's hair was disheveled and her eyes were red. "I need to find Song Guomin. I'm a member of his family. I need to talk to him."
It's just past the start of the morning commute.
As soon as everyone arrived at their workstations, some went to the restroom, others made tea. Upon hearing that Song Guomin's family had come looking for them, they all curiously peeked outside.
Song Guomin thought it was Liu Aimei who came to see him, and he never expected that the person who came would be his mother!
Seeing his mother like this, Song Guomin's heart skipped a beat.
Xu Guiying stared at Song Guomin with red eyes.
As Song Guomin approached, he said, "Mom, let's find somewhere to talk—"
Before the words were even finished, Xu Guiying's slap arrived, albeit late.
Yesterday has finally come to an end.
With a snap—
Song Guomin's face turned bright red.
The colleagues who were eavesdropping nearby all widened their eyes in surprise.
Holy crap!
There's some juicy gossip!
Xu Guiying didn't even need to prepare a draft before she choked out, "Song Guomin, what are you thinking? It's just a house, why did you have to make your father faint? Can't you talk things out properly? If someone hadn't passed by yesterday, your father would be in real trouble!"
Song Guomin froze. "Mom, what did you say? How could Dad faint from anger? Let's talk somewhere else."
"Change what! How dare you say that, Song Guomin? Your father and I raised you all these years without ever thinking about how you would help the family in the future. Now that you're married and have a job, you still want to bleed your father and me dry to support your wife's family. You and your wife are even eyeing my job, wishing they could devour the Song family until there's nothing left!"
"Fine, now that the family has separated, you still want the house that the family worked so hard to buy. You, Song Guomin, want to have all the good things in the world! You can't be too greedy. If you hadn't forced your father this time, he wouldn't have been so angry that he fainted. Song Guomin, now that the family has separated, we shouldn't have any contact anymore. Don't come back to the Song family. The Song family doesn't welcome you!"
Xu Guiying finished speaking in one breath, and even wiped the corner of her eye.
Song Guomin's face changed drastically. How could Dad have fainted?
Many eyes were fixed on Song Guomin.
Song Guomin gritted his teeth, thinking to himself that his mother was ruthless in her actions.
"Mom, that's impossible! Dad was perfectly fine when I left yesterday. This isn't the place to talk—"
Xu Guiying shook off Song Guomin's hand, "Alright, stop touching me! We are utterly disappointed in you now. We came here today to give you our final explanation!"
After saying that, Xu Guiying didn't even glance at Song Guomin, and strode out after pushing him aside.
The onlookers stared at Song Guomin with their mouths agape.
Song Guomin felt like he was on fire. He was in charge of administrative work at the bank and was usually an honest and obedient person who did whatever his superiors said. But his mother's antics were making him look down on by his colleagues and superiors!
Song Guomin felt ashamed and embarrassed, and his mind was in turmoil.
How could Dad be so angry that he fainted? Mom must be talking nonsense!
So what if they don't give him a house? Is it really worth ruining his life?!
After everyone finished eating the melon, they dispersed, leaving Song Guomin unsure whether to leave or return to his office.
Suddenly, someone called his name.
"Song Guomin, Sister Zhang is looking for you."
Sister Zhang was Song Guomin's direct supervisor. After Brother Tong left, Sister Zhang took over his position and was very unhappy with Song Guomin.
Song Guomin walked over with light, unsteady steps.
Various scrutinizing, suspicious, and mocking gazes fell upon him, and Song Guomin wished he could find a hole to crawl into.
After being scolded by Sister Zhang today, Song Guomin couldn't concentrate on his work once he left the office, feeling that everyone was talking about him behind his back.
Sister Zhang said that Song Guomin was a nice guy at work, but his work efficiency was low and slow, and he couldn't handle family matters well. If it happened again, he would be criticized.
Song Guomin was so angry that he didn't even go to lunch.
By the end of the day, everyone at the bank knew about Song Guomin's family affairs.
They've already separated their households, yet she's still eyeing the old house. Judging by Song Guomin's mother's appearance, she doesn't seem like she's wealthy. You really can't judge a book by its cover.
Song Guomin was seething with anger, and before leaving get off work, he couldn't help but explain himself.
He said that his family bought a house without his knowledge, forced them to separate their households, and now that they know about the house, they are not being given anything. He said that Xu Guiying and her family are the most heartless parents in the world, and told everyone not to believe Xu Guiying's words.
Some people couldn't stand it anymore.
“Song Guomin, I’m not trying to be mean, but that’s a house your parents bought. They’ve raised you all these years with so much money, it wasn’t easy for them. They saved up to buy the house, and you’re trying to take it away?”
"No, I didn't know anything about the house, otherwise I wouldn't have separated from the family."
Song Guomin's explanation only made everyone look at him with even more contempt.
How dare you say that?
It's just about a house, why make such a fuss and even make her own father faint?
Since they still had to work together, they had to maintain a semblance of harmony and didn't argue with Song Guomin anymore.
After leaving the bank, Song Guomin was seething with anger and hurried to Heping Lane.
In the alley, everyone looked at him with even more directness and contempt than his colleagues.
"Song Guomin, so you still know how to come back? Your father has been so good to you since you were little, working from dawn till dusk. You're the eldest son in the family, and you've driven him to this point. How can you live with yourself!"
"That's right, Song Guomin, your parents and grandparents won't let you come home anymore, so don't come back!"
Song Guomin's face turned pale with anger. "I didn't say anything yesterday. How did I pressure him? Stop talking nonsense!"
"Didn't you say anything? I could hear you arguing from far away."
"If Chen Zhou hadn't passed by and found your dad had collapsed, he would have been paralyzed from the cold in the middle of winter. Tsk tsk tsk, people are really black-hearted."
Song Guomin staggered, and seeing that the expressions on their faces didn't seem to be fake, he froze, "My dad really fainted?"
"Otherwise, who would lie to you?"
"Unrepentant!"
Song Guomin's heart was in his throat. He ran home quickly and knocked on the door of the Song family's house.
"Mom and Dad, Grandpa and Grandma, open the door quickly!"
It was Grandpa Song who opened the door.
The old man opened the door and slapped Song Guomin across the face.
"You little beast, you still have the nerve to show your face here? Get the hell out of here! You're no longer a member of the Song family, so get the hell away from me!"
