Chapter 191 Picking Up a Bargain
Chapter 191 Picking Up a Bargain
Lin Liu was handing out pine nuts when he reached Yang Mingyue, who looked rather unwell.
"Yang Mei'er, did something happen to your family too?"
Could it be that Liu Mingyue just left and another one is already here?
"No, I just got upset by my parents," Yang Meier said, indicating that she was fine.
"What happened? Didn't you stop associating with them?" Lin Liuyi remembered that Yang Mei'er's parents seemed to favor boys over girls and didn't treat Yang Mei'er very well.
"Ha, it's because they suddenly came up to me saying they wanted to raise money for my brother to get a job, and asked me to contribute a thousand." Yang Mingyue rolled her eyes.
"What? They didn't give you a single penny when you went to the countryside, how dare they ask you for money!" Lin Liuyi's eyes widened in anger.
“That’s right, anyway, I just said I had no money. They just kept cursing me for being heartless and raising a daughter like me for nothing.” Yang Mingyue’s eyes reddened.
Even though Yang Mingyue had prepared herself mentally, she still couldn't help but feel upset after being scolded by her own parents.
Lin Liuyi comforted her, "Forget it, don't pay attention to them. It's better not to acknowledge parents like that. Look at you, you're a college student now, you'll get a job in the future, maybe even a cadre position. They're just like that."
Yang Mingyue laughed when she heard this, "Liu Yi, you're right, I'll be much better off than them in the future."
"But will their actions affect you?" Lin Liuyi was still a little worried, after all, most people believe that parents are never wrong.
"Just a little bit, it's okay. I don't care what others think," Yang Mingyue said indifferently. She had been hurt enough, so what did it matter if someone said a few words?
Should we really force her to back down and give all the money she earns to her parents, find jobs for her brother, and support the whole family?
What are you thinking? No way! Do you think she's easy to bully? Yang Mingyue isn't that kind of person!
Lin Liuyi breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, Yang Mingyue was sensible.
"However, if they keep doing this, you'll have to think of something!" Lin Liuyi still felt uneasy.
“I’ve thought about it. Every time they come to me, I’ll have someone beat up my good-for-nothing brother. Let’s see if they care more about their son or their money.”
Yang Mei'er's method is really effective! Lin Liuyi can already imagine her brother's misfortune.
Sure enough, not long after her parents came last time, they came again.
"What are you doing? Didn't I tell you, you're not getting any money back from me!"
"You brat!" Yang Mingyue's mother said, trying to pinch her, but she was slapped away.
What, you still think she's the easy-to-bully second daughter from before!
"Little sister, how could you hit Mom!" Yang Mingyue's older sister, Yang Mingle, pretended to persuade her, but actually provoked her mother's anger.
"You brat, how dare you hit me!"
“Come on, I’ll hit you if you dare to reach out!” Yang Mingyue saw her mother raise her hand, so she raised her hand too.
Her mother was indeed frightened; Yang Mingyue hadn't held back when she slapped her, and she finally lowered her hand after holding it up for so long.
"You brat!"
"Oh dear, Mom, my little sister is just being unreasonable. Let's forgive her!"
"Slap!" Yang Mingyue turned her raised hand and slapped her older sister across the face.
"You, Yang Mingyue, how dare you hit me!" Yang Mingle roared, covering his face.
"What, do I need a reason to hit you! Have you forgotten how many times you bullied me before? You even got my parents to make me pay for your husband's college entrance exam celebration, how can you be so shameless!"
Yang Mingyue had long wanted to beat up her selfish older sister. Before, she had no status at home and anyone could order her around, especially her older sister, who would always provoke her mother's anger and make her get beaten. This slap was not even a fraction of what she used to get.
"You!" Yang Mingle covered his face, looking at her with resentment.
"Alright, stop fooling around!" Her honest father finally spoke up.
“Mingyue, I know your parents neglected you and didn’t care enough about you when you were at home, but even if we break apart, we’re still family. Now your younger brother has a chance to get a job, but he’s short of money. Dad hopes you can help this family!”
Look at what this supposedly honest person says—what perfect moral blackmail!
It's a pity, she has no morals!
"Relatives? When you sent me to the countryside, why didn't you think of me as your relative? When you asked me to send you food back, why weren't you your relative then? Now that you're asking me for money, you suddenly remember me as your relative? And to put it another way, what kind of job costs a thousand yuan? Do you think I'm stupid? So you're just going to get a job for free without contributing a single penny, and then squeeze some money out of me, is that it?" Yang Mingyue directly exposed their plan.
"Mingyue, that's your brother! Can you bear to see him turn into a good-for-nothing!"
"How heartless! What he becomes has nothing to do with me! Isn't your eldest son-in-law a college student too? Go find him! Didn't he ask me for money to celebrate his college admission?" Yang Mingyue seized the opportunity to mock them to the extreme.
"Mingyue, consider this money a loan from your parents!" Her father, though about to get angry, held back.
"Sure, then sign an IOU!"
Her mother immediately flew into a rage upon hearing this, "What? We need to sign an IOU? You brat, what kind of daughter makes her parents pay back money?"
Yang Mingyue shrugged. "If you don't want to, that's fine. I don't have any extra money anyway."
After hesitating for a while, her parents decided to get the money first and then gritted their teeth and agreed.
Just as her parents were about to sign the IOU, Yang Mingle spoke up: "Mom and Dad, if you sign this, you'll be saddled with a huge debt. Judging from Yang Mingyue's attitude, she'll definitely keep chasing you for it. You might as well sell our old house to her!"
Yang Mingle revealed her parents' little scheme. Just kidding, if Yang Mingle could see it, why couldn't she?
Her parents really thought they could get away with it. As long as her parents didn't pay back the money, she could take the IOU and cause trouble at her parents' workplace and her brother's workplace. There was always a way to make them pay back the money.
Her father thought about it and felt that his eldest daughter made sense. Anyway, they wouldn't live in the old house, and it was in terrible condition. Most importantly, it wasn't worth 1000 yuan at all, so it was better to sell it to his second daughter.
"Mingyue, what do you think of what your eldest sister said? The old house may be a bit dilapidated, but it's spacious!"
"Is it just a little broken?" Yang Mingyue was so angry at her father's shamelessness that she almost laughed. She never realized her father was so shrewd before.
That makes sense. Her dad is known as an honest man, but he lets her mom handle everything. In the end, he doesn't miss out on any of the benefits. He's quite shrewd.
However, the old house is located in the future area of the North Third Ring Road of Beijing, next to the Olympic Village, which is also a good place.
She decided to take advantage of this opportunity.
