Chapter 115: Resolved
The truth of the illness that Monica had been trying to cover up was exposed by Lip on the spot, and the whole person was a little dazed and a little panicked.
Of course, she herself knew her situation, but she just didn't want to admit it.
This time back, she really wants to be a good mother, but as a mental illness, there is no cure for bipolar disorder, which can only be controlled with medication.
And the last thing Monica wants to be is a medicine jar.
It can't be said that Monica doesn't love Fiona and Lip and their siblings, but it can only be said that Monica's love for her children is not as good as her love for herself.
In short, selfishness!
Think about the problem and always put yourself first.
This time, of course, is no exception, she wants to be a good mother, but she is stubbornly unwilling to take medicine, her condition will not be able to control without taking medicine, and if the disease cannot be controlled, it will recur, and the disease will recur, and she will definitely not be able to be her good mother again.
It's an endless loop.
Moreover, before the recurrence of the disease, Monica, the mother, did not do very successfully, losing three and four every day, thinking about one out of one, except for taking care of Liam, sharing some of Fiona's two meals in the morning and evening, and did not do much.
It's still far from the standard of a good mother!
A good mother will definitely not be able to sell her son's finances privately and cheaply for her own spending.
The gifts she bought for Fiona and Lip were not enough to make up for the mistakes she had made in this matter.
It's just that because she occupies the name of "mother", Lip can't do anything about her.
"I'm not sick, I'm fine, I don't need to take medicine!" Monica refused to accept reality even though she was exposed to Lip's face.
Seeing Monica's helpless look, Frank finally got up, took her in his arms, and soothed her softly, "Yes, my angel, we just had a nice vacation, didn't we? ”
Then he raised his head and said sharply to Lip, "She's your mother, you can't do this to her!"
"Has she ever fulfilled her responsibilities as a mother? Has you, including you, fulfilled her responsibilities as a father?
Frank was at fault first, and he was speechless.
"I solemnly inform you now, the way to solve this matter, the money you resell my things, or the same as before, from your disability allowance and Aunt Jinji's social security money, a total of 8,000 dollars will be counted for you, and 1,000 dollars will be deducted every month, until the deduction is exhausted!" Lip said.
"No! you ...... We only sold for two thousand eight hundred! for only two thousand!" said Frank in despair.
"You should have thought about how it would end when you were doing this!, or would you choose another way?" Lip shook his phone.
Frank knew what Lip meant by "the other way", a path he would not want to take anyway.
"Kill me!" Frank made a final struggle.
"Killing you will only dirty my hands! How can my great future be buried in you!" Lip said, "I know how much your monthly disability allowance and Aunt Jinji's social security are in total, and it is interesting enough that I haven't deducted them all for you!"
It's not the first time Lip has blackmailed him like this, and with the previous two experiences, all Frank can do is compromise.
"I warn you, the next door is now my private territory, and now a prohibition order is officially issued against you, without my permission, you two can't set foot again!" Lip said coldly, "I only allow this kind of thing to happen this time, and never allow a next time! Please don't challenge the limits of my patience!"
Lip gives Frank and Monica an ultimatum.
Reselling Chinese goods is Lip's only cash flow now, and if it can be maintained, Lip doesn't want to give up for the time being, so on the day he got Mandy's notice, he urgently allocated a batch of goods to continue the business.
Bitcoin mining, according to the current single price of bitcoin, is a loss-making business, but if it is calculated in the long-term interests, it is a lucrative business, Lip now has some idle funds, useless, so order a few more mining machines, continue mining.
The band practice area has also been re-established.
In other words, in the few days that Frank and Monica were away at large, Basement 2 was restored to its original state by Lip.
Frank and Monica's whereabouts have been revealed, and Lip is not afraid of them again and again.
Frank and Monica are nominally his parents, but Lip has no personal feelings for these two in-laws, and there is a limit to his patience with them.
If they push the limits of Lip's patience, Lip will have countermeasures to punish them.
The reason why Frank and Monica dared to do such a thing this time can only be said to be dizzy!
After settling the matter with Frank and Monica, Lip glanced at Fiona, Ian, Debbie, and Carl, who had been standing aside, and said to them, "Since the gift has been bought, you can take it, I bought it for you." ”
"I can only come back once a week now, but you're at home every day, Monica's situation, you really don't notice it at all?"
"You should know what it will be like when she recovers, and you just watch her go on like this?"
Fiona and the others were silent, and they really didn't have any good way to deal with Frank and Monica, the unreliable parents.
Lip nodded helplessly, "Okay, you guys, I can't help it, anyway, I've moved out of the house, it's not me who suffers, and it's not me who cleans up the mess." ”
Fiona opened her mouth when she heard this, but finally did not speak.
If you want to talk about the understanding of Frank and Monica's parents, the older Fiona is naturally the deepest, and she suffers the most from them, and if it weren't for her, the family would have collapsed long ago.
However, despite all the hardships suffered by Frank and Monica, Fiona still has hidden hopes for them in the depths of her heart, hoping that one day they will wake up and take on their responsibilities as parents.
That's why Fiona cleaned up the mess for them time and time again.
During this time, Lip has done a lot of things for Fiona, subsidized many family expenses, made the family's financial situation much better, inspired her to get a GED certificate and then found a stable job, and hardened his attitude towards Frank, so that he did not dare to wantonly destroy the family atmosphere anymore.
If it weren't for Monica's return, the lives of the siblings would have been on track.
