"Do you think you are great just because you are a singer? In the old society, this was a low-class profession. It was a job for the young. In a few years, you won't be able to make a living like this. You are even worse than a beggar. Beggars can even beg for food..."
"That's right. While you still have some fame, find a good family to marry into so that you can have security in the future. Otherwise, you will be a burden to your brothers and sisters. They have a hard time. You can't be so selfish..."
The reporter couldn't help but say: "You can't say that. Jingjing relies on her strength, not her youth."
"I don't care what she eats! Anyway, she has to listen to us!" Li Yu said with a gloomy face.
Li Jingjing was silent for a while, then suddenly smiled, "Listen to you, marry someone you've never met, and then give you the money I earn? Aren't you afraid that my future in-laws will be unhappy? Dad, Mom, for you, letting me get married is really not a good choice."
Li Xu and Li Qi looked at each other, as if neither of them had thought of this.
Yes, after Li Jingjing got married, she was under the management of her husband’s family. How could she give money to them?
Li Yu couldn't help but calculate in his mind whether it would be more cost-effective to let Li Jingjing get married and marry a wealthy in-law, or to let Li Jingjing earn money herself to support them.
After a while, Li Yu made the decision: "Even if you don't tell us, how much money do you make a year? Your mother and I don't want much, just give us half of your money. Of course, we won't spend your money, we will save it for you and give it to you when you need it in the future."
"I'm almost thirty, and I have the ability to manage my own money. I don't need your help. But don't worry, I will still respect you as before, and I won't give less than my share."
Li Jingjing looked around the house. "Didn't I buy all the TV, refrigerator, washing machine, and electric fan for you? Oh, and the money for my eldest brother's children to learn piano, the money my second brother paid for my second sister-in-law's job, and the money my third brother paid to the woman when they divorced... all of these were paid by me."
"That happened so many years ago!" Li Yu said angrily, "You only added a few things to the house, and you have the nerve to say that? Didn't you also buy a refrigerator and a color TV for Old Huang's family? Do you have any financial relationship with his family?"
"Auntie Huang saved my life, so what if I buy her something to repay her?"
"Nonsense, when did she ever save your life?"
"Have you forgotten?" Li Jingjing said aggrievedly: "When I was a child, you went to visit relatives without me and locked the door. I almost froze to death at the door. It was Aunt Huang who took me to her house..."
"Silly girl, stop talking nonsense. Why don't I remember such a thing happening?" Li Jingjing shouted. She really didn't remember it and thought Li Jingjing was making up a story.
Li Jingjing was stunned for a moment, and then thought sadly that this thing that had bothered her all her life, now she couldn't even remember it.
"Mom, it's normal that you don't remember me. I had no place in your eyes in the first place. You and my dad had three sons before, and you hoped for a daughter. When the fourth child was a daughter, you treated her like your own baby.
I know you wanted to stop there, but you unexpectedly got pregnant with me. Mom, you didn't dare to have an abortion, so you gave birth to me and named me Duoduo, which means redundant. It was grandma who thought Duoduo was not a good name, so she changed it to Jingjing.
But you still didn’t like me, were annoyed with me, and even refused to feed me milk, so I didn’t drink a drop of your milk since I was a child. It was my grandma who raised me with rice porridge... But my grandma, the only one who was with me, passed away when I was three years old. I remember the day my grandma passed away, I cried so sadly, I wanted you to hug me, but you impatiently picked up a broom and beat me... "
After she finished speaking, Li Jingjing was already in tears.
Speaking of these things, she didn't even need to act sad.
"You..." Li Qi was stunned for a moment, then said angrily: "You dead girl, why are you saying these things? Did I give you less food or clothes? Did you grow up starving?"
Li Xu guessed that Li Jingjing complained because she might not want to give the money.
He suddenly became anxious and forgot his original plan to coax Li Jingjing.
He slammed the table, stood up suddenly, and ordered: "From today on, you must give me all the money you earn. Everything! Otherwise, I will go to the newspapers and complain that you are an unfilial person! I will let everyone scold you and criticize you!"
"Dad, I am willing to honor you and mom, but I also have my own life. I will get married and start my own family in the future. I still say the same thing. When it comes to honoring, I will not be short of my share."
Li Jingjing spoke softly, but her eyes were stubborn as she stared at Li Xu.
Li Yu was irritated by her stubborn look and slapped her without thinking.
Li Jingjing instinctively wanted to dodge, but she managed to hold it back and took the slap.
