Qin Shuman was furious when she heard that Zhou Fei actually had the nerve to ask for a dowry.
He got up, went inside, and took out a small notebook.
She genuinely treated Zhou Fei like a daughter before. Both she and Lao Gu had salaries, so they weren't short of money to spend on Zhou Fei.
This ledger records the family of three's annual expenses and other major household expenditures.
There isn't a single individual conversion for Zhou Fei, but it can still be roughly calculated.
“Zhou Fei, Lao Gu and I have raised you for thirteen years, and the expenses have been considerable. You were still young before you turned eighteen, and I adopted you voluntarily. Out of respect for your parents who sacrificed for the country, I won’t hold you accountable for the money.”
From the time you turned eighteen and became an adult, my adoption obligations were fulfilled.
Let's do the math for those four years, from eighteen to twenty-two.
Zhou Fei took the ledger from Qin Shuman's hand in disbelief.
She never imagined that Qin Shuman would be so clear about the score with her.
"Mom, you actually asked me for money? Did all the feelings you've had for me all these years just lie?"
Qin Shuman frowned and gave her a cold look.
"You're talking to me about feelings? What feelings are left between us since the whistleblower incident?"
Aren't Lao Gu and I just the kind of victims you can stab us in the back at any time?
Isn't it a bit too late for you to talk to me about feelings now?
Lin Han watched from the sidelines, her breasts feeling refreshed. She found it very satisfying to roast people herself, but she never expected that watching others roast people would also be so enjoyable.
Aunt Qin is awesome!
"I won't charge you rent, but the food expenses will be more than fifty yuan a month, not including the vegetables and fruits grown in our own land."
That's 700 yuan a year, 2800 yuan in four years. If you take one-third, then 930 yuan is enough.
In addition, your family will buy you four sets of clothes every year, all of which are high-quality items, each costing around 20 yuan. That's 80 yuan a year, and 320 yuan over four years.
There's also the watch, radio, and some other miscellaneous gadgets I bought for you. You know the prices, so let's say 500.
You gave me a total of 1750 yuan. From now on, we'll go our separate ways and have nothing to do with each other.
With red eyes, Zhou Fei regretted her impulsive decision. She had been determined not to marry Li Fuguo.
She felt that would ruin her life, which is why she broke off relations with the Gu family.
Unexpectedly, Li Fuguo had left a backup plan, forcing her to a dead end. Now she wants to turn back and repair her relationship with the Gu family, but it's too late.
She earns 73 yuan a month. It would take her more than two years of not eating or drinking to pay back that much money.
"Mom, I'm sorry, I'll kneel down for you, is it alright if I kneel down for you?"
Zhou Fei knelt down with a thud and kowtowed to Qin Shuman and Gu Huaiming.
This was her last resort; she refused to believe that the couple were truly heartless.
But to her surprise, Qin Shuman showed no intention of helping her up.
She acted as if she didn't care how long she wanted to kneel.
Zhou Fei was at a loss, unsure whether to get up or kneel down, caught in a dilemma.
She turned her head toward Gu Huaiming; men are generally easier to talk to.
"Dad, please forgive me. I was really bewitched. I will definitely change in the future and take care of you and Mom in your old age."
Gu Huaiming moved his chair back in disgust, "It's really unnecessary."
Zhou Fei was completely dumbfounded.
At this moment, Lin Han, oblivious to the danger, was eating watermelon and chewing away near her ear...
She turned around and yelled at Lin Han.
"Eat, eat, all you know is eating. If you could eat so calmly even if your mother died, you'd be amazing."
Lin Han was provoked and raised her hand to slap Zhou Fei across the face.
The original owner's mother was really dead, and she was still waiting for her mother to come and take her home.
What right does Zhou Fei have to hurt her with such vicious language?
Her hands were sore after the injection, and blood trickled from the corner of Zhou Fei's mouth.
