Chapter 72: Chapter 72 Accident (1)_1 Chapter 72: Chapter 72 Accident (1)_1 āI⦠Dad, this isnāt really taking; when Laifu makes it big, he will definitely pay us back double!ā Liao Zhaoji had always firmly believed this.
Ruan Jiandang didnāt say anything.
He just felt a deep sense of desolation.
Working himself to death every day, scrimping on food and clothes, his three children suffering along with them, never having a good day, and after finally saving up a yearās worth of money, all of it ended up being given away to someone else?
āHusband, are you craving some meat? You go and tell Mom; I saw she had several pounds of meat saved up, she even has five pounds for herselfā¦ā
āLiao Zhaoji!ā Ruan Jiandang roared in anger, looking at her incredulously, āThat is Momās and Big Brotherās meat! You sold your own meat, asking them for more, do you have no shame?!ā
Liao Zhaoji was originally feeling guilty and out of breath, but upon hearing this, she became indignant.
She scoffed coldly, āOver two hundred pounds of meat, and Ruan Jianguo gets a hundred pounds just like that? Momās being biased. Just like your two brothers who are as dumb as posts, they have nothing to say, but do you think Wu Le and the rest wonāt have anything to say? Who knows what theyāre grumbling about in their hearts? You really think Iām the only one who canāt stand this?ā
āAnd about Mom, she went along with them and even got herself five pounds of meat, which will surely be eaten by Ruan Jiaojiao. Why should only she eat it, arenāt Chizi and the rest also her grandsons?ā
āHusband, Iām not kidding, Iāve never seen such a biased grandmother!ā Liao Zhaojiās anger rose as she spoke more.
āIf your mother isnāt biased, have her give back the meat and the money!ā Ruan Jiandang knew it was impossible to reason with her and retorted scornfully.
The more Liao Zhaoji heard, the more spirited she became, āThatās different, my momās biased toward Laifu because he is going to support her in her old age. When he succeeds, naturally he wouldnāt forget about us, his elder sisters and brother-in-laws. But look at Ruan Jiaojiao, a drain on resources, she will be someone elseās benefit in the future. Why pamper her so much? Thatās why I say the entire Ruan Family is a bunch of freaks.ā
Liao Zhaoji was becoming more and more animated, completely oblivious to the extreme displeasure on Ruan Jiandangās face.
He pushed her away forcefully, pointing at her nose, āLiao Zhaoji, Iām not going to waste words with you. Iām giving you three days to get the money back. We can consider this matter over then.ā
āWhy the hell should I!ā Liao Zhaoji glared at him, āLaifu is going to be somebody in the future, and he will be able to support you, his brother-in-law. Why are you being so petty with him?ā
Liao Zhaoji looked as if Ruan Jiandang had said something utterly unbelievable.
āIs that so? Then let him start by looking after his nephews, who can barely afford school soon. The second half of the year is only a few months away, where am I supposed to get so much money from!ā Ruan Jiandang sneered coldly.
āI wonāt go! Thereās no such thing as giving money out and then asking for it back. How can I face going back to my parentsā home after that!ā Liao Zhaoji shook her head, unwilling.
āThen you donāt have to come back to the Ruan Family either!ā
āWhat do you mean by that?ā Liao Zhaojiās eyes widened as she stared at him, āFor such a small sum of money, are you intending to divorce me?ā
āRuan Jiandang, youāre heartless! Have I ever had a single day of happiness with you all these years? I bore you sons, three of them at that! All the hard work Iāve done inside and outside over the years, even if thereās no merit, thereās definitely toil, and yet youāre making a fuss with me over such a small sum?ā
āBesides, if you were any good, would you worry over this bit of money? Now that the boys have no tuition fees, you canāt figure out what to do and instead pick a fight with me, are you still a man!ā
