Chapter 1011: Chapter 1011 - 1012: Put an End to This Idea Before It’s Too Late

Mother Qi hung up the phone angrily, thinking to herself that her son truly is heartless; his big sister is his biological aunt, yet he won’t even help her with this.

No, this must be Cheng Su’s doing. She heard it clearly on the phone just now; Cheng Su was right next to her son. If she hadn’t spoken up, how could Taiguo refuse so directly? Taiguo isn’t so cold and heartless; this child values family most.

Cheng Su really took a hit lying down, carrying such a big blame.

Mother Qi turned around and saw Father Qi standing behind her, glaring at her with a dark expression.

She felt a bit guilty at once; it was precisely when the old man wasn’t around that she secretly called her son, otherwise, if he heard it, it would be trouble.

"Why are you skulking around people like that? Trying to scare someone to death!" Mother Qi said sharply but weakly.

"I’m asking you what you’re doing?" Father Qi, hearing bits and pieces from the phone just now, asked with a stern face: "Did you call Taiguo to ask them to help borrow money for your big sister?"

Mother Qi evasively replied, "I didn’t!"

"I heard it all; don’t say you didn’t!" Father Qi shouted sternly.

Being yelled at like that by him, Mother Qi’s temper flared up, and she said, "If you heard it all, why bother asking? Isn’t this just talk for the sake of talking? I did indeed call Taiguo, so what? Can’t I call my own son and ask him for money? He is my son, I am his mother, asking him for money is only natural."

That’s right, she is the one who gave birth to him and raised him; who can argue against asking for some money?

The more Mother Qi thought about it, the more she felt she was in the right, and she raised her chin in defiance.

Seeing her expression, Father Qi sneered coldly: "Asking your son for money is natural. But asking your daughter-in-law and borrowing to give to others, have you no shame? Don’t spread this out, or it’ll be a big embarrassment!"

"Who said I asked her? I asked my son!" Mother Qi argued stubbornly, yet it sounded weak and lacking conviction.

Father Qi looked at her as if she were a fool: "How much allowance does Taiguo get in a month? To put it generously, if it’s increased by a hundred or two now, where is he getting so much money to lend you? Isn’t it ultimately coming from your daughter-in-law?"

"Money earned by a couple, is there a divide between yours and mine?" Mother Qi said, "Look at Fenglian before, wasn’t she handing over money to her mother-in-law too!"

"That’s why she couldn’t take it and wanted a divorce!" Father Qi yelled angrily.

Mother Qi was silenced, pursing her lips.

"Any man wants his self-respect. Taiguo’s allowance isn’t much, and what he gives to his wife is for household expenses. If you ask him to get money from her, where does that leave his dignity? You may have no shame, but don’t let your son be shameless like you too. Doesn’t he need pride? Will he have any standing in their home in the future?"

Mother Qi was stunned for a moment; she hadn’t considered this aspect.

"And furthermore, when the conversation starts with borrowing one thousand yuan, does your big sister think our family is a gold mine? Can we casually give her one thousand yuan? Even if we could give it, when would she repay it? Can she even repay at all? If not, is your son’s one thousand yuan just going to be wasted?" Father Qi continued: "Is borrowing it for building a house and getting a wife? If you don’t have a large head, don’t wear a big hat. Such a shamefully materialistic family will lead to no good, it’s better to let go of this idea early, hmph!"

Mother Qi gritted her teeth in anger, yet couldn’t rebut, thinking about the old man’s words, wondering if her big sister could actually repay the one thousand yuan if it were lent out.
