After Xue Li received half of her salary, the first thing she did was go to the department store to buy face cream and hand care products. Even though they were expensive, she gritted her teeth and bought them. She knew that if she wasn’t willing to spend this money, she would only get older and older. Wang Xia knew today was the day Xue Li got paid, and she happily waited for her to hand over her salary. Unexpectedly, when she got home from work, she didn’t see Xue Li. It turned out she went to the department store to buy face cream, and there wasn’t much left of her salary after it was just issued. Wang Xia was so angry she nearly fainted, "Xue Li, who agreed to let you buy this?" "Don’t you know that instead of buying these, you could have bought some good food to nourish your brother?" Wang Xia would visit Xue Zhan weekly, feeling distressed that her son had lost a lot of weight. "Nourish that lunatic?" Xue Li exploded, "Am I not thin too?" "A crazy person who doesn’t work there, actually has the nerve to say he should be replenished." "I’m busy every day, have you mentioned replenishing my body?" "You say your son is thin, am I fat?" "I’m even thinner than Xue Zhan." "I’ve already covered his costs, I’ve done enough. As for giving him money to nourish his body, that’s your issue." In recent days, Xue Li had thoroughly investigated that as long as she paid for Xue Zhan’s medication, her job would be fine. That put her at ease, giving her the courage to say no. Wang Xia didn’t expect Xue Li to be so disrespectful, "You, Xue Li, don’t think just because the job is given to you, you’re secure." "Don’t forget your father once took the job back." Wang Xia furiously stated she would go to the company to take back her job. "Go ahead, it was agreed upon that half of my salary goes to Xue Zhan for his medication." "Have I not paid these costs?" "I’ve paid them, so you have no right to take back my job." "Mom, have you truly not dreamed of Dad?" "Dad was living well and could have lived many more years, but you insist that good son of yours drove him to death." "My current job was left to me by Dad, paying for his medication. I wonder how angry Dad might be in the afterlife." "If he knew, he would even have to give the killer meat to replenish his body." "Do you think he’d be very angry?" ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ novel⚑fire.net "Though I didn’t see Dad’s face for the last time, I know Dad always said not to let Xue Zhan go unpunished." Xue Li didn’t even want to call him brother anymore, "If it weren’t for your insistence, I think Dad would have let him go to prison." "Dad didn’t acknowledge him as a son anymore, and said he’s a killer." Xue Li coldly looked at Wang Xia, "Anyway, I feel sorry for Dad." Even though Xue Fan didn’t treat her well, at least he gave her a job. "And you have to cover the household expenses," Xue Li decisively added, "And the tenant of the house is already me." Xue Li initially thought changing the name wasn’t easy, but to her surprise, it went quite smoothly. Because this mother-daughter trio was causing a scene in the compound, Zhang Yu and the others couldn’t miss it. They weren’t surprised by Xue Li’s eruption, finding it normal, thinking all the Xue family members were selfish. Zhang Yu glanced at the triumphant Xue Li, then at the furious Wang Xia. Well, the result of this mother-daughter battle was clear; Xue Li won. "You actually changed the name of the house tenant, you, why didn’t you tell me?" Wang Xia rushed to Xue Li, wanting to give her a stern lesson, and by lesson, it was a physical one. Xue Li saw through Wang Xia’s routine, seeing her coming over, she dodged directly, causing Wang Xia to fall on the steps, unable to stop in time. Zhang Yu could feel the pain; when Wang Xia got up, she saw that her mouth was bleeding. Thinking she hit her mouth, Wang Xia found two front teeth missing when she opened her mouth to speak, and speaking caused a breeze. Wang Xia felt the pain in her mouth but didn’t expect the front teeth to fall out, "I, I." Wang Xia spoke a lot, but unfortunately, due to the breeze and crying tone, speaking quickly made the others bewildered, unable to understand at all. "Mom, don’t speak anymore, can’t understand your words." Xue Li laughed seeing her mother . She thought it served Wang Xia right, wishing she had fallen harder, losing all her teeth so she’d only be able to eat tofu. "No, fix the teeth." Wang Xia struggled for a long time before spitting out this sentence. "With your own money," Xue Li bluntly said, "I don’t have money." Anyway, asking her for money was impossible. What? Expecting her to pay? Xue Li’s words made Wang Xia stamp her feet angrily, crazily venting at her. Sadly, her words weren’t understood. Zhang Yu, watching her excitement, knew she was cursing Xue Li. Zhang Yu felt helpless; the situation now made it clear that Xue Li was becoming more assertive. The Xue family would soon be under her thumb, yet Wang Xia still hadn’t realized it. Never mind, if someone insists on being foolish and fighting Xue Li, then let it continue. Xue Li quietly watched Wang Xia’s various fits, "If you don’t want to pay, then don’t pay." "Anyway, it’s the front teeth, won’t affect your eating." "In the end, the one who loses face is you." "The one who speaks unclearly is you." Xue Li was tranquil. Ah ah ah, Wang Xia, initially intending to vent endlessly, abruptly stopped. Indeed, Xue Li could hold on, an embarrassment to Wang Xia. Having no choice, Wang Xia agreed to pay. Zhang Yu looked at Wang Xia retrieving money from the room, "From now on, Wang Xia is under Xue Li’s thumb." Once certain things were said, changing them later was nearly impossible. Zhao Hong, enlightening little Zhao Xi and knitting, truly learned a lot while in the archives for years. Like knitting, shoemaking, creating her own preschool material, and all this after discussing with Xiao Yi. "Mom, my sister-in-law will be in confinement at the year’s end, what should I send?" she mused, recalling sending yarn when Zhao Xi was born, utilizing Zhang Yu’s tickets. Now that she’s working, earning a salary, she couldn’t bring a gift worse than Zhao Xi’s time. The thought was good, but how to give a gift to her brother and sister-in-law seemed really difficult. "It’s the thought that counts." Zhang Yu didn’t know how to gift, she actually despised this approach. Better to straightforwardly present what you want or ask for money. But this era, giving money wasn’t appropriate, even giving people the impression she was a superficial nouveau riche. "I want to make some floss, be it pork or fish floss; it’s good." "I can assist." Right, she remembered she could gift this, "I’ll go fishing."
