Chapter 14 Family Conflicts
Zhao Xiaofei took Xiao Si back to Gongji County. It had been almost a month since he left. He had to go back to his home in the modern world. Before leaving, Zhao Xiaofei said to Xiao Si, "I need to prepare some medicine at home. You just stay outside the yard and don't come in until I open the door."
"I understand, young master! Don't worry! I'll keep an eye on it all the time!" Xiao Si always believed that the medicines for treating the plague were made by his young master.
It was already night when he returned to the present day. He sneaked in without even turning on the light, and hid all the antiques under his bed. When he put the box away and was about to get up, the light in the room suddenly turned on. Zhao Xiaofei was startled, and when he turned around, he saw his mother Liu Aiping.
"What are you doing? What have you been doing for a month since you went out? You didn't even notify me when you came back? You didn't even turn on the lights." Liu Aiping said calmly.
"Are you going to work now? I'm too tired when I come back, and I don't want to disturb you and your brother's sleep. You will definitely wake up if I turn on the light." Zhao Xiaofei said with a smile.
Liu Aiping smiled and suddenly shouted, "Stop making this up! Your company said you resigned! What exactly have you been doing? Tell me clearly today!"
At this time, the eldest brother Zhao Xiaokun also came out and said with a smile: "Your job was introduced! How long can you hide your resignation? Someone told me a long time ago. I just want to see when you will come back."
Zhao Xiaofei smiled bitterly. How could he have forgotten that his elder brother had someone in his old unit? "Brother! Do you believe me when I tell you that I went to the Ming Dynasty?"
"I'll make you do it tomorrow, I'll make you do it tomorrow. You've read too many novels!" Liu Aiping took out the rolling pin at home and started beating Zhao Xiaofei.
"Ouch! Mom! Stop hitting me! Ouch! Ah!" Zhao Xiaofei screamed as he dodged. Liu Aiping hit him hard, making him scream.
Zhao Xiaokun was watching from the doorway, laughing. When Liu Aiping had finished her fight and was catching her breath, he asked, "Tell me! Where have you been? Why did you quit your good job?"
Zhao Xiaofei rubbed the wound on his body and said, "If I hadn't become rich, I would definitely not quit this job. I might have worked in the company forever. But now that I have money, I don't want to go to work every day."
"You make money? How much can you earn? What do you do to make money? Is money so easy to make? If it weren't for you, I would have retired long ago!" Liu Aiping became angry again and wanted to hit him with a rolling pin.
This time, Zhao Xiaokun stopped his mother and said, "Mom! Just vent your anger! He's not a child anymore! Maybe he'll get married by the end of the year."
"You still want to marry someone like him? Bullshit! Whoever lives with you will be unlucky! You must be blind to marry him!" said Liu Aiping.
"Mom! I'm selling antiques in Panjiayuan! I made some money recently, enough to keep me from working for another decade or so." Zhao Xiaofei didn't dare tell his family he'd earned hundreds of millions. First, his mother wouldn't believe him. Second, she might be devastated if she saw the depositors. She'd always been working hard for this family and her youngest son. Losing direction can be disorienting. And telling the truth about such a large sum of money wouldn't make his mother understand. To avoid upsetting her, Zhao Xiaofei lied again.
"You haven't worked for decades? Do you know how much that's worth? By the time you retire, at today's prices, you'll have at least 5 million! If you tell me you've made 5 million, I'll stop caring about you! Show me how much you've made!" Liu Aiping glared at her youngest son. She worried about her son, who was supposed to be retiring, but still had to work in a supermarket. His job was unstable, and he had no money in the future.
"Mom! Can you please stop worrying so much about me? How I want to live my life is my own business. I'm not a child anymore! You don't have to go to the supermarket to work, and don't keep saying it's all for me! I don't need it!" Zhao Xiaofei said, and wanted to take out his phone to show his mother the money in his card. But before he could open the phone, Liu Aiping came up and slapped him in the face.
There was a loud snap, and Zhao Xiaofei's face burned with pain. But this made him feel even worse. Even if he succeeded, he couldn't escape his mother's attitude towards him. Liu Aiping said hatefully, "No matter what! No matter what, are you blowing up?"
Zhao Xiaofei gritted his teeth and held up his phone for Liu Aiping to see clearly. "Look carefully! This is 5 million! I just earned it recently! I have 5 million! Can I leave now? You don't have to worry about me anymore? Am I free now?" Zhao Xiaofei shouted. Liu Aiping was stunned when she saw the transfer information on Zhao Xiaofei's phone. In the face of her son's roar, she remained indifferent. She was a little confused, and she felt that her efforts were a joke.
Zhao Xiaofei turned around, took out the box from under the bed, and was about to leave home. When he reached the door, Zhao Xiaokun quickly stopped him and said, "Isn't Mom just worried that you'll be without money and a job? It's all for your own good! Is it that necessary?"
"Brother! Don't stop me! Please let me go!" Zhao Xiaofei said loudly.
Zhao Xiaokun didn't know what to do. His brother suddenly became so rich that he could go wherever he wanted. His mother no longer had to work hard, and he no longer had to use his connections to find him a job and take care of him. But he knew that his mother's behavior today would mean the loss of her youngest son, and his gloating just now would also mean the loss of his brother.
He decided to go downstairs with Zhao Xiaofei, and wherever Zhao Xiaofei went, he would follow. Zhao Xiaofei took the box and got on his Warrior. Zhao Xiaokun asked, "You bought a car without telling your elder brother? Do you hate me today? Why are you gloating over my misfortune?" Seeing Zhao Xiaofei put the box behind the car seat, he sat in the driver's seat without moving. He added, "I know! Mom always says that you are not ambitious and unreliable! But Mom loves you! She is always afraid that you don't have enough to eat or drink, and that you have no money to spend! Even about you and Jiang Xiaomei, Mom was afraid that you would marry her because you would not be able to live well without money. The day before yesterday, Mom told me that if Xiaofei and Xiaomei can't break up, let them get married! At worst, I can go to work for a few more years!"
