Chapter 669: A Mask of Hypocrisy
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
It was already too late. The craftsmen who were repairing the windows had all gone to bed. They could only wait until tomorrow.
Yun Xi patted the dust off her body. Why did she feel that she was so fated to be on fire recently?
When she went out on a trip, she would be set on fire by others. At home, her family would also set fire to her house.
“Why are you so insensible? Can’t you see that everyone is busy here? Why did you set the house on fire? Look at how good the atmosphere is today. Why did you ruin such a good atmosphere?”
Yun Lin was the first to run over to scold Yun Zhu. Sometimes, Yun Lin’s thoughts were very similar to Yun Shan’s.
!!
Yun Zhu’s expression became even gloomier. Seeing that everyone was safe and sound, only the house was slightly damaged. Feeling that what he had done with all his strength had not achieved the expected effect, Yun Zhu felt hatred in his heart.
“You want to eat the roasted whole sheep, not me. Did any of you ask for my opinion? You just treat me as a burden, a dead cripple. In your eyes, I don’t even have a shred of human dignity! Since that’s the case, then let’s go to h.e.l.l together! Once we reach h.e.l.l, we’ll be equal!”
Yun Zhu’s gloomy gaze swept across everyone present one by one. His gaze seemed to be fearless, carrying a sick madness.
“Slap!”
Ma Yan went up and gave him a slap.
Ma Yan had wanted to argue with Yun Xi earlier, but before she could say anything, a huge fire started outside.
Ma Yan also choked on a few mouthfuls of thick smoke.
“I’m your mother! Ever since you got sick, I’ve been raising money for you everywhere. I’ve been providing you with food and shelter. How could you let me die with these people? You clearly know that I’m inside. How could you have the heart to light a fire?”
Ma Yan was really a little sad.
She thought that she favored her youngest son the most, but she did not expect that all her efforts would be in vain in the end. Her youngest son, whom she doted on the most, actually wanted to watch her die.
Yun Zhu’s eyes widened as he looked at Ma Yan, and his smile became even more impudent.
“Quickly put away your hypocritical love! What did you guys do with all that money in the city? Don’t think that I don’t know. I’m just an excuse for you to ama.s.s money from others.”
Yun Zhu spoke out the words that had acc.u.mulated in his heart one after another, tearing apart the hypocritical masks of the people present.
Ma Yan fell silent and did not speak anymore.
Yun Lin’s expression was also a little unnatural.
“Forget it, forget it. Let’s forget about this matter! How can a child not make mistakes? Look at my unfilial son who ran away with someone else before.”
Yun Gang came out to smooth things over.
“The child’s mental state is not very good to begin with. For him to do such a thing, as an adult, we have to be more understanding. Fortunately, there were no casualties today, so it was a false alarm. Let’s continue to deal with the little fat sheep. Tonight, we’ll eat a roast whole sheep and remove all the bad luck on our bodies.”
Yun Gang was still thinking about the roast whole sheep. If everyone continued to argue about this matter, it was very likely that the sheep would not be able to be roasted.
They had already peeled off the skin of the lamb. If they did not roast this lamb tonight, the taste of the next day might not be as delicious as it was today. It might even rot. If they could not eat it, it would be a waste.
“How can we just let this matter go?” Yun Xi stood out.
Yun Xi changed the topic.
“What happens to Yun Zhu in the future is an internal family matter. This matter has nothing to do with our family and eldest uncle.”
“But the house that he set on fire damaged was our family’s old house, and the windows that were damaged were also our family’s windows. Then this matter has something to do with our family. Shouldn’t you compensate us?”
Yun Zhu’s personality developed into this state. In fact, this had an inseparable relationship with the Yun family’s second son and wife.
If they had treated the child properly back then, it might not have become so serious. Back then, when Yun Shan heard that they were treating the child, he even took out money to help. That amount of money was still not considered a small amount. Yun Zhu’s illness had been delayed by Yun Lin’s family.
A child’s fault was a parent’s fault. Therefore, now that Yun Zhu had burned down the house, as a parent, they should compensate for the house maintenance costs.
“What money do you want? What money do you want?! Didn’t you see that I was almost burned to death in this house? Look at him, he is already disabled. What money do we even have?”
