Qi Chunhui firmly refused: "No, Wenjing, please move aside. I have to have a fight today to make things clear, so that someone won't take advantage of me."
"What's wrong with me?" Qi Bin was confused. "What does this have to do with me?"
"What are you pretending to be, you bastard? How could you possibly not know where the money Mom gave you came from?" Qi Chunhui couldn't help but spit. "On the night of the 29th, as soon as I got home, Mom asked me how much money I had left. I honestly told her I had 80 yuan. The next day, she used the excuse that we didn't have enough money to buy meat for the New Year and took it all away from me. You were sleeping in the cubicle at the time. How dare you say you didn't hear it?"
"On New Year's Eve, she gave our three sisters ten yuan each as lucky money. I was tired from working all day, so I went to bed after dinner. When I fell asleep, she secretly gave you a big red envelope with fifty yuan in it. Do you want to take it?"
"Who told you fifty? If not fifty, then ten." Qi Bin's voice was a little weak, his eyes wandering, and he seemed to be very guilty.
"Look, you just accepted it. She coaxed my money away and gave it all to you the next moment. You're her child after all, and she feels sorry for you suffering in the Great Northern Wilderness, but she doesn't even think about the fact that I also suffered in the Great Northern Wilderness, and you even used my money to support you." Qi Chunhui sneered, and started crying while smiling.
"It's just a few yuan. You have money now, so you're making a big deal out of it. What about me? I only have this ten yuan lucky money I got for Chinese New Year... Oh, no, I used it to buy soy sauce and vinegar for the family these past few days, and just bought a bar of soap. I only have nine yuan and twenty yuan left now."
"I only have 9.2 yuan left, just enough to buy a hard seat ticket." Qi Chunhui's eyes were red as he said self-deprecatingly, "If I want to buy a sleeper berth back to Songjiang, I'll have to borrow it from you now."
Qi Bin couldn't bear Qi Chunhui's tears. He took a step back and said in a panic, "Sister, I, I really don't know."
Qi Chunhui could no longer hear what Qi Bin said. She vented her frustrations in self-pity: "Don't I have dignity? Am I inherently lowly? Am I inherently shameless? Do I want to be like this? If I had an extra ten yuan, would I be scheming and calculating just to save that extra dollar for a sleeper ticket?"
"Sister, please stop talking..." Qi Bin covered his ears, his expression a little painful: "It makes me uncomfortable to hear this."
Zheng Wenjing rolled her eyes at him and said, "That's hard to hear. Why don't you return your sister's money to her?"
"I...I..." Qi Bin hesitated, "I didn't take my sister's money. My mother gave me ten yuan more on New Year's Eve, really..."
"...Hahahaha, good, that's great, you really are my good brother."
Qi Chunhui went completely crazy.
The day ended with Qi Chunhui frantically smashing the pot at home.
"And let me cook?"
"I'll cook Nima's meal!"
"Stop eating!"
Qi Chunhui's mother was so angry that she picked up a shovel standing against the wall and tried to hit her. Qi Chunhui couldn't stand there and let her hit her. She ran out, shouting, "Tell Qi Bin to return my money to me. If you don't wait until you go to work, I'll smash the other pot in the house too!"
Qi Chunhui's mother's hand slipped and she threw the shovel towards Qi Chunhui: "Fuck you! This iron pot left at home is made of fine steel. I only spent seven dollars on it. If you dare to smash it, try it! I'll break your legs."
It was a farce that left Zheng Wenjing dumbfounded.
She didn't know how things had developed to this point. At the beginning, she just wanted to ask them if they wanted to buy tickets.
Zheng Wenjing, who grew up in a happy family, didn't know this.
When internal conflicts in a family have been going on for a long time, sometimes no fuse is needed, just a little spark to completely detonate it.
