Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
At that moment, Xia Hai suddenly felt a little foolish.
“Mother, are you really not willing to take a step back for your son? Wanwan is my daughter. As her father, how can I let her suffer like this? I’ve given you my monthly wages. Isn’t that enough?”
Li Jin nodded. it’s not enough. The money you earn is mine, and so is the money that your daughter makes. That’s our family’s rule.
“Mother,” Xia Hai took deep breaths. “If you can really distinguish between the two, then let’s part ways.”
Li Jin was not the only one shocked by Xia Hail s words. Even Xia Wan did not expect her filial father to say something like that.
Xia Wan continued to pretend to be pitiful, but she was actually overjoyed. However, she also felt that the possibility of Li Jin agreeing to move out was almost non-existent since her father was making a lot now. If they didn’t move out, her father’s money would always be in Li Jin’s hands. However, if they did, Li Jin would not be able to get the money.
As expected, Li Jin’s expression turned flustered after she heard what Xia Hails had to say. She quickly put on an act and started wailing.
“What sin have I committed that I bore such an unfilial son? I once worked so hard to raise him. Now that I’m old, I need him to support me. He told me that he wanted to move out. Isn’t it because he doesn’t want to care about an old woman like me?”
Li Jin cried and whined, then looked at the neighbors around her. “Everyone, come and judge. You all know how hard it was for me when I was young. These three sons of mine were all mischievous. I suffered so much all those years; now, my son is treating me like this.
“Just because I taught his daughter a lesson, he abandoned me for her.
“How did I give birth to such an unfilial son like you? My life is tough!”
Seeing that Li Jin was criticizing her father every word, Xia Wan was unhappy. Although she wanted to move out, her family had to be in the right. Li Jin and the others were the ones in the wrong. However, if she continued to criticize her father, it would make him seem unfilial.
Xia Wan stood up and said to Li Jin. “Grandma, don’t scold father anymore. I know you don’t like me. Father only said those things because he thinks you’re not treating me well. If you want to scold or hit me, come at me. Don’t insult my father.
“No one is stupid. The two uncles only pay half a month, or even less than half, but our family has the most children, but my father gives you all his salary, and my mother does all the work at home.
“I was sick and wanted to eat the eggs at home, but you wouldn’t let me. I
wanted to see a doctor, but you didn’t give me money. However, father didn’t have any money. In order to treat me, he went to find a job. Grandma, there’s nothing to say about you being biased toward me, but you shouldn’t have said bad things about my father in front of so many people. He’s clearly the most filial one, but you criticized him here. How cold must his heart be?
“You’re his mother and the closest person to him in this world. He cares so much about you. Do you really not consider his feelings when you say these things?
“It’s like you’re stabbing your father with a knife. Grandma, you’re so cruel. Is money all you want? I’ll give it to you!”
Xia Wan began to throw her money on the ground as she spoke. It was a few cents a dollar, and there was a total of more than ten dollars.
“The three of us worked hard to earn this money these past few days. Grandma, don’t you want us to have no money on us? I’ll give it all to you. Please let father go!”
Xia Wan kneeled down after she finished speaking. Her face was covered in tears. “Grandma, don’t slander father anymore. It’s all my fault. I don’t deserve to have a single cent.”
Xia Wan’s kneeling moved everyone.
When Li Jin cried and complained about Xia Hai, some people felt that Li Jin was pitiful. However, when Xia Wan knelt down, everyone thought Li Jin was bullying her.
“That’s enough, that’s enough. How could you blow up such a small matter? Li Jin, everyone has seen how Xia Hai has treated you all these years. Don’t make things difficult for a good child.”
“That’s right. Xia Hai is honest and sincere. We’ve all watched him grow up.
How could we not know what kind of person he is? this is just a small matter.
Let’s just talk it out. There’s no need to be so distant.”
Li Jin didn’t know what to say when someone tried to persuade her. Yan Han even went directly to Xia Wan’s side, trying to help her up..
