Chapter 140 No Help
Yang Xiaoli was stunned. Zheng Weihong always took it for granted that she should do everything. When had she ever used the word "please"?
But Yang Xiaoli had been well-behaved and sensible since she was a child. She knew that it was not easy for Zheng Weihong, a single mother, to raise her, so she was puzzled but did not ask any more questions. She just said:
"Mom, if you have anything to say, just tell me. I can still wear these shoes. It doesn't matter if you don't buy them."
Zheng Weihong stared at Yang Xiaoli for a few seconds before saying:
"Xiao Li, your sister made a mistake and took your brother and sister-in-law's things. Your brother and sister-in-law were unaware of it and called the police.
The police are now investigating the matter, and your sister lied to the police again. Now she can't admit it. Mom was thinking... could you go and help your sister and take the blame for this? "
When these words came out, not only Yang Xiaoli was shocked, but even Zheng Meiyu was stunned.
Yang Xiaoli stared at Zheng Weihong blankly for a while. She looked at Zheng Weihong in disbelief, and it took a while before she spoke:
"Mom, no, stealing is a crime and I don't want to be caught."
"You won't be arrested. You are the orphan of a martyr. Your grandfather was a martyr who died while helping foreign countries. Your father was a soldier who died while protecting the border. Who dares to arrest you? It's your uncle and aunt. If they knew it was you who did it, they wouldn't hold you accountable.
We are an orphan and a widow, and we have no other relatives. Your uncle has become rich now and no longer associates with us. We are relatives from your uncle's family. You have to treat Meiyu as your own sister. Please help her this time, okay? "
At the beginning, Zheng Weihong was still talking to Yang Xiaoli in a persuasive way, but later on, her tone already became demanding.
Over the years, Yang Xiaoli has listened to Zheng Weihong on everything. This time, Zheng Weihong was also sure. After she finished speaking, she kept looking at Yang Xiaoli with an aggressive attitude.
Yang Xiaoli swallowed hard, feeling a tearing pain. This was her own mother, how could she be so cruel to her?
She is just sensible and kind, and doesn't want to cause trouble for Zheng Weihong, but she is not stupid.
Even if my uncle and aunt didn't pursue the matter and it ended up being forgotten, what if it was recorded in her file?
Even if it is not recorded in the file, how will she live her life if the neighbors find out? They will be able to drown her with a spit from them.
Zheng Weihong was pushing her into a pit.
"Mom, I can't take the blame for this. Like you said, my grandfather and father are heroes. They are so sacred. That's why I can't smear their names." This was the first time that Yang Xiaoli resisted Zheng Weihong and did not agree to her request.
She looked at Zheng Weihong very firmly, not at all intimidated by her gaze.
Zheng Weihong continued to stare at Yang Xiaoli for a while, then suddenly lowered her head and smiled mockingly:
"Well, you've grown up, become more powerful, and even don't listen to your mother anymore. That's amazing. I admire you."
These words cut Yang Xiaoli's heart like a sword. She stood straight in front of Zheng Weihong without saying a word.
Seeing Yang Xiaoli like this, Zheng Weihong asked again:
"Are you sure you really don't want to help your sister with this matter?"
Yang Xiaoli nodded stiffly but very affirmatively.
"No."
