When Fu Jing heard Xue Zhaodi disagree with her, she felt betrayed and tears immediately streamed down her face: "I raised you with great difficulty, sent you to school until you were sixteen, and now that you've just come of age, you're going to use your money to support a man, and this is how you treat me? Have you lost your conscience?"
Xue Zhaodi said directly, "You only gave birth to me and raised me until I was three years old. After I turned three, I started doing housework. My grandmother thought that girls would have too much trouble eating and pooping, so she only gave me half a meal. I did housework on an empty stomach every day, and you watched coldly without saying a word."
Fu Jing immediately retorted, "That was your grandmother's decision. I'm newly married and too shy to resist because of filial piety."
Xue Zhaodi continued her accusation: "What about when I grow up? After my older sister was born, you all disliked that she was a girl. I, a three-year-old child, changed my two-year-old sister's diapers, fed her formula, and even helped with the laundry. If this counts as raising her, then I will raise you the same way in the future."
Fu Jing felt extremely wronged: "I've raised you all these years, and this is how you see me? If I had known you would deny all my efforts for a few dollars, I should have listened to your grandma and drowned you, so I wouldn't have been so angry."
Xue Zhaodi sneered: "If you drown me, I'll thank you for saving me from suffering. I raised my two younger sisters, did all the housework, and you all ate the food while I only got leftovers. I'm your daughter, not a slave. Ask yourself where your conscience is. I've only been able to get half a meal since I grew up because of charity. If that's what you call a sacrifice, then I'll definitely make the same sacrifice when you're old."
Xue Fu was extremely disappointed: "Zhao Di, have I been good to you? I've always been there for you since you were little. I've always pleaded for you when you did something wrong and were punished. Don't you want your father anymore?"
Xue Zhaodi almost laughed in anger: "Are you really good to me? Are you pleading for me? It's not because you and Mom play good cop and bad cop, just to make me willingly take care of the family. You use both kindness and threats. I heard everything clearly outside your door. How did you back me up? When others bully me, instead of confronting them, you go directly to their parents and demand compensation? If they don't give it, you threaten them. Do you know what the kids call me? A tattletale, a vampire. I've been isolated by others since I was a child."
It's her bad luck to have such hypocritical parents. In their eyes, their children are not human beings at all, but merely tools to be used. Even Xue Yaozong may not be very sincere. Why should she make sacrifices for such parents? She is an adult and can decide her own life.
Xue Fu was about to say something when Zhu Fanfan banged on the table with her hand, looking at Xue Fu as if he were a punching bag. Xue Fu only glanced at Zhu Fanfan, but his heart skipped a beat, and he immediately felt a little guilty and shut up. Zhu Fanfan was clearly threatening him!
Fu Jing wanted to say something, but seeing the warning look on Zhu Fanfan's face, she could only hold back and said, "You have to go home. I won't give you your household registration book. If you want to get married, follow the normal procedures. The man has to come and give you a dowry. You can't be short of a house, ...
Xue Zhaodi wasn't intimidated: "What if I don't? You should go home and check if your household registration book is still there."
She knew her mother would definitely take the savings book she was given, so she took out her household registration book in advance, intending to take the savings book to the bank to change it to her name. Nowadays, household registration books are loose-leaf, with two holes that can be strung together with a string. If you want someone else's household registration book, you just need to untie the string and take out your own page. She took her own page when her mother wasn't paying attention, and when she went to her maternal grandfather's house, she wanted her grandfather to help her register her household separately. Without the household registration book, her parents couldn't threaten her.
Fu Jing was immediately heartbroken, but before she could speak, Zhu Fanfan slammed his hand on the table. After everyone's attention was focused on her, he casually broke the bowl into pieces. Yes, he just casually broke it into pieces, and calmly watched Fu Jing break it, leaving Fu Jing speechless. She saw in Zhu Fanfan's eyes that he wanted to break her like a bowl.
Because of this move, almost everyone fell silent.
Xue Zhaodi knew her parents' temper: "I also know that you have worked hard to raise me. My grandfather gave me 120,000 yuan. I will only keep 40,000 yuan to buy a house and decorate it. I will give you the remaining 80,000 yuan as a way of repaying you for raising me. From now on, we will sever all ties. I will publish a notice in the newspaper to sever our relationship. If we meet again, we will pretend we don't know each other."
Fu Jing couldn't accept that her child, who was otherwise sensible except for being a little slow-witted, dared to disobey her, so she naturally disagreed: "I gave birth to you, everything you have is mine. I won't allow it, so you must always listen to me."
Xue Fu also disagreed: "Zhaodi, even though it's a new society, girls with parents to back them up don't necessarily live a comfortable life. What's more, you've severed ties with your parents and have no one to rely on. Even if you get married, you'll be bullied. You won't even have a place to cry to then. You need to think this through."
Seeing that her parents had started threatening her, Xue Zhaodi couldn't help but laugh: "When I had a conflict with Ding Wenshan and Ding Wushan, you didn't protect me either. If you don't protect me in small matters, how can I expect you to protect me in big matters? I grew up crying all the way. Whenever I'm not doing well, I can always find a place to cry."
Zhu Fanfan interjected, "I'm curious, are you sure you only want the daughter and not the money? That's perfect, I need the money, so I'll borrow it first. Big sister, lend me the money for three years, and I'll pay you back in three years."
Xue Zhaodi handed the passbook to Zhu Fanfan almost without suspicion, and Zhu Fanfan immediately put it in her bag, just watching Xue Fu and Fu Jing.
Xue Fu wanted to say something, but shut up under Zhu Fanfan's gaze. He had a deep memory of those beatings and didn't want to suffer any more. Fu Jing didn't look at Zhu Fanfan, but she also felt Zhu Fanfan's gaze. Her fear of Zhu Fanfan was ingrained in her mind, and she subconsciously didn't want to provoke him.
Zhu Fanfan said, "From now on, this savings book will be in my possession. If you need money, just ask me."
They've really spoiled them. If they want money, they should just say so. Using the excuse of "it's for your own good" to morally blackmail them into handing it over is hypocritical. It's like parents helping to manage red envelopes during Chinese New Year—it's like throwing good money after bad.
Fu Jing and her husband didn't dare to speak, so Fu Minghao smoothed things over: "Alright, since we've already discussed it, let's adjourn the meeting! Zhao Di hasn't seen Fan Fan for a long time, so it's a good opportunity for the two sisters to have a good chat. Zhao Di, stay here tonight, and tomorrow you can take me to see your boyfriend, and Grandpa will give his approval."
Everyone: ...Who made this plan?
