With that, Gran threw down his bowl and chopsticks and went back to his room.
Lull had pursed her lips and tried her best to hold it in. Now, she couldn’t help but cry. Was she wrong? Was it really wrong for her to be so calculative?
Mrs. Way sighed. “Hey, Lull, don’t take it personally. Your father is like that.”
Lull choked and said, “Mom, did I do something wrong? I have a home too. My husband called and said that if I fork out all the money, he would divorce me.”
It had to be said that Lull was still confused. There were some things that even mother and daughter shouldn’t say. If she said this, who knew if Mrs. Way would tell Mr. Way? Even if she didn’t, they would feel estranged when they interacted with Lull’s husband in the future.
Mrs. Way fell silent, her eyes filled with pain. “It’s been hard on you.” She couldn’t help but sigh. “But your brother isn’t married yet. You still have to be more tolerant. Think about it. Your brother has just fallen in love. If his partner finds out that he’s a useless man, he’ll definitely break up with him. Your father doesn’t have many days left to live. I even urged your brother to get married quickly, but his partner seems to be still observing…” If the woman knew about their family’s situation, she definitely wouldn’t marry. It was fine if she didn’t marry. If Gran wasn’t capable and relied on family matters to spread, which daughter would dare to marry into their family? She was also in a difficult situation now. She couldn’t watch helplessly as her son couldn’t get married…
Lull said stubbornly, “Why should I be the one paying? I have my own home. I paid the down payment for Gran’s house. I paid for Dad’s hospitalization and chemotherapy. 1 paid hundreds of thousands. What’s wrong with Gran taking out 100,000 yuan to buy the cemetery?”
Mrs. Way sighed. “He doesn’t have any money.”
Gran suddenly opened the door and came out, muttering, “Mom, do you know what my sister said? She asked me to sell the house!”
Lull was furious. “Gran!”
Gran muttered, “Why can’t I say it? You said it yourself, and now you’re too embarra.s.sed to say it?”
Mrs. Way was stunned and did not know what to say. Seeing Gran and Lull arguing, she could only persuade them on both sides. In the end, she returned to her room weakly.
Mr. Way was leaning against the door, listening. When he saw Mrs. Way enter, he immediately went to the bed and sat down.
Mrs. Way complained, “Look at you, making two kids fight!”
Mr. Way curled his lips. “It’s indeed wrong for Lull to let Gran sell the house.” She clearly had money, but she couldn’t bear to spend it on him. He didn’t believe that his son-in-law wanted to divorce her. His son-in-law was also very profitable. Lull’s family was very rich, but what about his son? His son worked so hard, but he couldn’t even reach a tenth of Lull’s income. Shouldn’t the siblings help each other? Whoever was in trouble would receive more help. Also, Gran’s marriage hadn’t been settled for a long time because the woman wanted a betrothal gift of 200,000 yuan. In his opinion, Lull should settle her brother’s marriage. He could die in peace. A sensible daughter shouldn’t let her parents worry. She actually quarreled at home…
Mrs. Way felt very pained and felt sorry for Lull. However, Gran was indeed not married yet. The person he was talking to said that she wanted a betrothal gift of 200,000 yuan. If Lull did not help share the burden, what would happen to Gran’s marriage? She could not help but think of a story. It said that an old lady’s eldest son sold salt and her youngest son sold umbrellas. When it was sunny, she was worried that her youngest son would not be able to sell umbrellas. When it rained, she was also worried that her eldest son couldn’t dry the salt…
Mrs. Way felt that this was her current mood. She was worried that her daughter would divorce her son-in-law because of money, but she was also worried that her daughter would not fork out money and her son would not be able to get married. Poor parents. Her hands were a tough call. She was really in too much pain!
Mrs. Way was secretly wiping her tears in the room. Mr. Way was still nagging at the side, saying that Lull had money and couldn’t bear to spend it for him and didn’t know how to help his brother… Then, in the living room, Lull and Gran were still arguing over money. The Muddled Ghost on Mr. Way’s head stretched comfortably, humming a opera tune and shaking its legs happily. It was very difficult for evil spirits to find a host. He didn’t expect to be so lucky to encounter a nest! A family of muddle-headed fools! The entire family was muddle-headed from top to bottom. This was too comfortable!
The confused ghost turned into a long ghost shadow. Its feet were firmly wrapped around Mr. Ways head, but its body stretched out infinitely, preparing to see its next host, Lull..
