In a fit of anger, Liu Yansong moved out to live with Lu Rou, completely ignoring the elderly couple.
The elderly couple didn't receive their wages so soon, so they had to ask the factory leaders for an advance of ten yuan. The family lived a frugal and tight life.
Liu Qinqin, however, thought they were acting and kept making a fuss about wanting to eat and drink well like before, and even demanding that they buy her a job. When they refused, she would smash things around the house, even breaking the pots and pans used for eating.
Enraged, Liu's father beat her severely, but in doing so, he broke her leg and sent her to the hospital, making their already difficult life even worse.
As for Liu Yansong, because he was unemployed and had no salary, he felt that he could no longer support himself and Lu Rou. After failing to find Zhu Qinghao, he thought of taking Lu Rou home.
When he returned, he found not the safe haven he had imagined...
That day, Liu Yansong brought Lu Rou back from outside with lots of bags and packages, only to find the door locked and no one home when they got there.
Only after asking the neighbors did I learn that the elderly couple had taken Liu Qinqin to the hospital.
"Oh my, Liu the eldest? You finally decided to bring your wife back. You have no idea how much trouble your family has been lately."
The night before last, your old man beat your daughter unconscious, and she even borrowed 10 yuan from me to take to the hospital!
I said, your parents are so frugal, they don't seem to lack 10 yuan, so why did they borrow it and never pay it back?
"Since you're back, could you please return this money to your aunt on behalf of your parents?"
Liu Yansong had no money left. When he heard someone asking him for money, his face darkened. But since they were neighbors, he couldn't just break off relations with them. So he had to make excuses.
"Aunt Zhang, I didn't borrow this money, what do you think?"
Liu Yansong's reply shocked the old lady across the table, who suddenly realized that she would never get her money back.
"Hey! What kind of talk is that? You mean you're just going to ignore the money your parents borrowed? You've heard of children being responsible for their parents' debts, haven't you?!"
Seeing that the person opposite him had changed her expression, and not wanting to argue with her and make a bigger commotion, Liu Yansong could only force a very ugly smile.
“Aunt Zhang, that’s not what I meant. The main thing is that I didn’t know my parents had borrowed money. I have to wait for them to come back and confirm with them, don’t you think?”
Aunt Zhang was already somewhat dissatisfied with Liu Yansong's reaction, and upon hearing this, she almost jumped up, her voice rising sharply.
"What did you say?! What do you mean?! You think I would lie to you just to swindle you out of that 10 yuan?"
Liu, you're not going to stay silent. Explain yourself! We've known each other for over ten years. Is that the kind of person you think I am...?
Upon hearing her loud voice, Liu Yansong instantly felt a headache coming on and quickly went over to apologize and beg for forgiveness.
"No, no, no, Aunt Zhang, you've misunderstood. Please stop shouting! I didn't mean that. I know you're the best person in the world."
I just... well, as you can probably see, my wife is carrying a baby, and she's very delicate.
She controls all my money, and she's unwilling to hand it over. How could I dare to offend her? Don't you think so?
Although Liu Yansong lowered his voice towards the end, Aunt Zhang could still hear him clearly, and her expression softened as she kept glancing at Lu Rou standing at the Liu family's door.
