"Grandpa Geng, Grandma Geng, Mom." He Yingxue greeted the two old men politely, and called out coldly and indifferently Mom sat down opposite them, and didn't care if they responded or not.

"Grandparents are good, aunts are good." Li Zifeng greeted them politely.

The two old men responded with their noses, and Zhao Qin reluctantly smiled and said, "Zifeng is also here, sit down!"

Li Zifeng sat down next to He Yingxue. As soon as the two sat down, Huang Zicong and they just came in, Zhao Zhen and Li Shufen greeted the two old men warmly, sat down on the old man's side enthusiastically, and chatted warmly.

Zhao Zhen looked at He Yingxue and Li Zifeng, who were expressionless, and said without yin or yang: "Who is celebrating today's birthday, such a big show?" ”

Li Shufen said with a smile: "What does the eldest sister remember, Yingxue will be eighteen years old tomorrow, and said that tomorrow is Monday Yingxue will go to school, and celebrate one day in advance." ”

"What are you doing with such a big pomp on the little girl's birthday? Why didn't the old man see them working so hard, how expensive this place is! Why does a table of meals cost seven or eight hundred, and these messy things, oops, a thousand yuan is gone, and it has caught up with the income of some families in the village for more than half a year, this is really hemorrhaging! ”

Old lady Geng's face was ugly when she heard this, this is the most expensive place in Quan'anle, and after such a meal, his son's little salary went to one-third, and she glared fiercely at Zhao Qin beside her.

Zhao Zhen happened to see this scene and said with a smile: "My little sister has found a good husband and is so generous to her stepdaughter." Yingxue, you are not a child anymore, why are you not sensible at all, such an expensive place still brings irrelevant people, and your Uncle Geng's money is not blown by the wind, and it is only two or three thousand a month of hard work. ”

Li Zifeng's face sank slightly, but He Yingxue listened calmly, as if she was listening to a story, after all, she was not ridiculed by them once or twice, and she still had this determination.

Mrs. Geng slapped her face in front of the table, looked at He Yingxue with a gloomy face and said, "Yingxue, your aunt is right, isn't it just a birthday?" How much does it cost to buy vegetables and cook at home, even if you have to spend outside, in such an expensive place, ordinary people like us are too luxurious, and 1,000 yuan is enough for a family's expenses for a month. Your uncle is only a little more than 3,000 a month, and he is already stretched thin to support your three children, where can he have that spare money to spend in such a place. ”

Zhao Zhen looked at He Yingxue with a disapproving face and said, "Yingxue, you are not someone's biological daughter after all, how can you be so impotent!" ”

He Yingxue said lightly: "So this is my birthday party?" I don't even know, I thought it was the birthday of an elder? ”

Li Shufen said sourly: "Yingxue, I'm afraid your grandparents haven't enjoyed this kind of treatment, as a child, this pomp is too much." ”

Li Zifeng squinted at a room of people, her mother watched coldly, except for Huang Zicong who frowned and was dissatisfied with the words of a few people, everyone else looked very happy to bully the little girl.

"It's none of my business, after all, I didn't ask for a birthday, I think it's more like a critique than a birthday party."

"Yingxue, this is wrong for you. Your uncle is kind to you, why don't you appreciate it at all, what is the difference between you and a white-eyed wolf. Li Shufen disapproves of Geng Zhongjun's grievances.

Zhao Zhen snorted coldly and said: "It's originally a white-eyed wolf, and people who don't even recognize their own mother can know what!" Thanks to the loyal army, he took the trouble to buy her a house, and I didn't see her say a thank you, let alone call Dad, I'm afraid I haven't had a good face a few times. ”

Old Mrs. Geng said with some anger: "Yingxue, you know that your uncle was divorced before, and at that time he gave all the money behind our backs to that scourge, and he has no savings to support your three children all these years, and the only money saved is to buy that house for you." Your younger brother is going to kindergarten next year, and it costs 2,000 a year, and Sissi's extracurricular classes cost 2,000 a year, as well as your tuition and living expenses, Sissi's tuition, and your Uncle Geng is afraid that he can't support the three of you at the same time. ”

He Yingxue asked with a smile: "Grandma can just say what she wants to say, I'll listen to you." "Is this the idea of beating her living expenses again, when her grandmother moved away, the old lady instructed her mother to give her a little less living expenses, but Uncle Geng knew that it was unsuccessful.

"I've discussed with your mother, I'm afraid that your family won't be able to come up with money to go to college next year, and even the money for kindergarten may not be enough, what does grandma mean, your house is empty, it's better to sell it, and the money will pay for your three brothers and sisters, and you can work and study for living expenses, so that the pressure on your uncle and mother can be less." After all, your uncle is not young, and he will go to college and marry a daughter-in-law in the future, what can he do, do you say! He Yingxue smiled and didn't answer, and the old lady turned her head to look at Zhao Qin and said, "Ah Qin, you can say a few words, it's a good mother and daughter, there is nothing that cannot be discussed." ”

Zhao Qin glanced at He Yingxue, quickly looked away and said, "Xue'er, you are not a child anymore, properly understand the difficulties of our adults, your uncle's ability is limited, and it is really difficult to support three children at the same time." ”

He Yingxue clasped her hands in front of her chest, put away her smile and looked at Zhao Qin and said coldly: "If you can't raise it, don't give birth, you can't afford to raise it if you give birth!" That house also has my father's money, what right do you have to decide what to do with it? ”

Mrs. Geng looked at He Yingxue and said with disdain: "Yingxue, your father was paralyzed when you were very young, how much can your mother earn a day on your street, and later your father entered the hospital or the provincial hospital, the expenses of the provincial hospital are not a joke, and the funeral will cost you another sum, do you think your parents can have that deposit?" ”

Zhao Zhen sneered and said, "How is it possible, I remember that Yingxue's father borrowed the money he spent in the provincial hospital." Yingxue, this is yours, you are not a child anymore, your uncle is a little doctor to support a large family, how can you spend other people's money with peace of mind. In the first place, you made a lot of trouble to live alone, and your uncle's last savings were spent on that house, right? I didn't call you dad when I was so generous to you, and I really didn't wronged you at all when I said that you were a white-eyed wolf! ”

He Yingxue was stunned, she really didn't know how much money she had at home, they had never paid money in front of her when her father was there, and her pocket money had always been the most among the children in the village. Could it be that all the money is really Uncle Geng's? She looked at Zhao Qin and asked, "Whose money does it belong to?" ”

Zhao Qin lowered his eyes and said, "Your father has spent all his family savings in the provincial hospital, and he also borrowed 2,000 from your uncle, and your uncle also took 2,000." ”

He Yingxue's face turned pale, so she always thought that the money left by her father was fake? Did Uncle Geng lie to her in order to make her live with peace of mind?

Li Zifeng raised his hand and pulled He Yingxue's hand under the table that was clenched into a fist, and looked at her relatives coldly, this face is really ugly? In memory, her mother was quite gentle, but she didn't expect to deceive her daughter without blinking her eyes.

Old Mrs. Geng looked at Zhao Qin, and with a look, Zhao Qin sighed and said, "Since the matter is clear, you will live in the house until you go to college, and if you go to other places, the house will be empty, so it is better to sell it." Your college expenses, the relatives of the He family should also contribute a little, after all, you are the child of the He family. Mom has done her best to support you until you are eighteen years old, and if your uncles and aunts really can't take out it, isn't it a student loan now? You can wait until you graduate from college to pay it back slowly, without interest. ”

He Yingxue glanced at Zhao Qin, she didn't give her any expression, she was eighteen years old, so she shouldn't reach out to her to ask for money anymore? It really made her unable to refute it, and she was disappointed in this mother again. In this early winter, she deeply experienced the feeling of coolness.

The tone was indifferent like never before: "So you are going to leave me to the He family?" ”

Zhao Zhen said angrily: "No matter how you do it, you still help other people's families to support their children, and if you don't get well, you have to complain, and the white-eyed wolf is not familiar with it." ”

Li Zifeng looked at He Yingxue with an indifferent face and felt distressed, he never thought that he would treat his child's parents like this, he couldn't imagine how this girl had lived in the past two years, and his calm temperament made him feel distressed.

Zhao Qin finally looked at He Yingxue, and said indifferently: "He Yingxue, we have been able to afford you in the past few years, your Uncle Geng and I have limited ability, you are already an adult at the age of eighteen, if your little uncle can't help you, you will take out a loan to go to college, and you will pay it back slowly when you graduate later." As your mother, I have only one request for you, self-love! Hopefully, you are capable enough to support yourself before you fall in love. ”

He Yingxue's seemingly calm face crossed a touch of injury, she didn't expect that her mother would completely abandon her one day because of money! It turned out that family affection also had to give way in the face of money, and he sneered and said: "Since you don't plan to care about me, you don't have to pretend!" ”

Zhao Qin roared angrily: "What kind of pretense? I'm your mother, I gave birth to you and raised you, in exchange for such a heartless attitude of yours? Where the hell am I sorry for you? ”

"Yes, you didn't feel sorry for me, I'm an adult, and you've done your duty! The state stipulates that there are only nine years of compulsory education, and I should be grateful to you for supporting me for twelve years. In that case, don't worry, since the house was not bought with the money left by my father, I won't want it, I will move out as soon as possible, and you can do whatever you want. As for my ......" A mockery crossed the corner of He Yingxue's mouth: "Since you don't have an obligation, don't worry about it, I will also fulfill my obligations when you are born, old, sick and die, you can rest assured!" ”
