In a small village in Qin City.
At this hour in the morning, itās usually when the villagers start getting up to cook, and the village is enveloped in curling cooking smoke.
But at this moment, a sudden scream pierced the air.
"Wang Cui Cui, you little brat." Wang Meiliās voice rang out over the Wang Family Village, "I canāt believe you hit me, give me back my money."
"Aunt, is it necessary to shout over this little bit of money?" Wang Cui Cui leaned against the doorframe, saying disdainfully, "With the way things are for you, eating at our home, sleeping at our home, canāt I charge a bit of interest?"
"Last night your snoring almost drove me insane." Wang Cui Cui rubbed her ears, "Arenāt you supposed to be rich? How come itās just this little bit?"
Sheād gone through the trouble of carefully getting it from her, and it turned out to be only a few bucks.
Enough for this woman to hide it like some treasure.
"Just this little bit, give it back to me." Wang Meiliās eyes reddened as she tried to snatch it back, but she was no match for Wang Cui Cui.
Wang Cui Cui merely dodged lightly to the side, and avoided her easily.
Wang Meili lost her balance, hitting her head on the door, yelling in pain again.
"Cui Cui, thatās your auntās retirement money, give it back to aunt." Wang Meili clutched her head, speaking in a good-natured way.
"Just this little? You have the nerve to call it retirement money?" Wang Cui Cui said in surprise, then raised her voice, calling outside, "Dad, Mom, you better come here, we canāt keep letting her eat and drink for free."
Wang Meili, "..."
Just as she stood up, she saw her brother and sister-in-law come out from the house outside, her brother with his hands in his sleeves, looking at Wang Meili, "Sis, is it really just this little bit of money?"
What does that mean?
"Wang Chuang, over the years Iāve given you quite a bit of money, havenāt I? Iāve only been back for a few days, and youāre already trying to kick me out?" Wang Meili felt a bit angry, more than a little disappointed.
Over the years, she had sent quite a bit home, both openly and secretly.
How could this family not remember any of her kindness?
"What money?" Wang Chuang laughed, "Sis, wasnāt that your filial contribution to mom? How did it become money you gave to me."
Wang Meili, "..."
"Yeah, sis." Wang Chuangās wife said with a faint smile, "Youāre so grown up, just coming back like this, making it so we canāt hold our heads up in the Wang Family Village."
"The kids are even getting scolded when they go out, and in the future, Cui Cuiās prospects will definitely be affected."
"Didnāt you, as their aunt, ever think about compensating them a bit?"
What? Compensate!
Compensate too? Why not just eat her alive while theyāre at it.
"Iāve given mom quite enough already, now that sis is down on her luck, you could give me back some of the money I gave you." Wang Meili reached out her hand and said.
"Give back?" Wang Chuangās wife said with an amused tone, "A daughter being filial to her own mother, and she needs to be paid back? Sis, thereās no such thing anywhere."
"At least let Cui Cui give me back my money," Wang Meili said impatiently.
"Then youāll have to ask Cui Cui for it, we canāt do anything about that." Wang Chuang said, sitting down on the bed edge, "Isnāt it just a few bucks? Itās fine to let the kids have some pocket money, whatās the big deal about a few bucks, is it worth all this yelling and crying so early in the morning."
"You talk as if we owe you something big."
"But sis, whatās your deal with this whole coming back thing? We should have a proper talk about it."
"Talk about what?" Wang Meili frowned, looking at Wang Chuang.
