Borrow?
What a joke!
In his past life, old man Liu never returned what he claimed to be just "borrowing" according to Liu's old lady.
Yet Liu Erzhu's mind was like a rock, firmly believing that his nephews would support him in his old age. Thus, he chose to compromise time and time again in a cowardly way.
In this family, the most selfish, shameless, and weakest of them all was Liu Erzhu.
When Liu Yiyi heard this, she stroked her younger sister's head, offering Liu Lele two bucks, "Lele, go to the village shop, get a bottle of wine. With the change, buy some maltose candy to eat!"
"Okay!" Liu Lele wiped away her tears, took the wine bottle and money, and headed to buy the wine.
At this moment, Liu Erzhu was dragging a lame leg with a savings passbook in his hand. Xia Lanhua was pulling him from behind, but he threw her to the ground, "This is my money, I'll do whatever the fuck I want with it..."
Liu Yiyi quickly helped up Xia Lanhua, this unfortunate woman. Over-birthing and the hardship of life had turned this beautiful-featured woman's hair white and covered her face with wrinkles, making her look older than most people.
"This... this is money for building the house..." Xia Lanhua sat on the ground, her voice hoarse from crying, but it was to no avail, she still couldn't stop Liu Erzhu.
Liu Yiyi's eyes were filled with contempt as she looked at Liu Erzhu. She detested this father to the bone. But the offender was her biological father, Liu Yiyi ready to strike him dead with a slap from her magic, when suddenly the night sky filled with flashes of lightning.
The power she brought back from the Spirit Realm also brought back the rules and constraints of the Spirit Realm.
If she killed this selfish ghostly old man, she would also be struck to death by heavenly thunder. Damn rules and restraints, always oppressing the good ones and protecting the bad ones, it's infuriating!
It wasn't worth losing her life for such a pathetic loser. She could only take back the magic she was about to unleash.
Walking over, Liu Yiyi helped her mother, Xia Lanhua, up, "It's already dark, and the snow outside is so heavy, the money won't run away in the passbook. Let's take it over tomorrow."
Upon hearing, Liu Erzhu looked at the falling snow in the sky, it was already dark, and the lightning bolts that had just flashed were quite frightening. He then looked at his crippled left leg, put the passbook into his pocket, and said, "It is already dark. Why haven't you started cooking? Are you trying to starve me to death? Each one of you is good-for-nothing, you were all born to annoy me..."
After that, Liu Erzhu, cursing and grumbling, went back to his room.
Seeing the man return to his room, Xia Lanhua dried her tears, "Yiyi, tonight while your father is asleep. I will steal the passbook, we must not give that money to those ungrateful creatures. I have argued myself hoarse, we can't rely on his family. Your dad, he's as obstinate as a stone in a latrine, both repugnant and stubborn ..."
As Liu Yiyi listened to her mother's ramblings, she busied herself, peeling the skin off the rabbit and cleaning out the entrails. As for her mother's nagging, she simply listened. In this family, no amount of begging and crying from her mother could change the old man's stubborn thinking and decisions. He'd only know regret when he's faced with his own deathbed!
Liu Yiyi cooked some porridge and warmed some steamed buns.
Liu Lele bought a bottle of cheap liquor, then handed over the remaining twenty cents to Liu Yiyi, "Sister, I'm grown up now, I don't like eating candies anymore."
Seeing her sensible younger sister, and knowing the bitter fate that awaited her in the future, Liu Yiyi's resentment deepened, her eyes reddening, "Sister still has money, you can keep these twenty cents."
Children all wanted pocket money, although it was only twenty cents, it was enough to make Liu Lele happy, "Thank you, Sister."
"Go wash your hands, we're about to have dinner soon." Liu Yiyi had already prepared the braised rabbit meat with potatoes and glass noodles, a large pot of it.
"All right!" Liu Lele was all smiles, "We're having meat..."
