Xiao Yuanshi didn’t expect his daughter to propose such compensation.
He was stunned: “What do you want tens of thousands of taels for?”
This was too much.
Xiao Baili asked, “Now that you have money, are you still worried about not being able to spend it?”
“Before, when you were recruited to fight, you never took care of the family.”
“My mother had to be both the father and the mother to raise us brothers and sisters, and she also had to serve your parents and the whole Xiao Family.”
“The money my eldest brother earned for his studies was all earned by copying books.”
“That means you have never raised us brothers and sisters, and have never fulfilled your father’s responsibilities.”
“Since you want to compensate us, giving us tens of thousands of taels of silver to spend is just right, don’t you think?”
She then said meaningfully: “After all, you are so generous. You can raise your brother-in-law and sister-in-law for so many years, you also feed them well and clothe them.”
“You can also give your brother-in-law 30,000 taels of silver, prepare 120 dowries for your sister-in-law, and subsidize a lot behind the scenes.”
“You are so generous to your brother-in-law and sister-in-law, so can be more generous to us, your children, right?”
Mrs. Kong immediately heard the hidden meaning of her daughter.
She also said: “Yes, you only care about giving birth but not raising the child, how can such a good thing happen.”
“Since you want to compensate them, show some sincerity.”
“My daughter has been wearing clothes worn out by your brother’s daughter since she was a child, and she also eats the worst food.”
“Now she is spending her brother and sister-in-law’s money.”
“You can spend so much money on your sister-in-law, but you don’t spend a penny on your daughter.”
“You raise your brother-in-law so well and give him so much money. Our Hanyi has had to raise chickens and pigs and do housework since he was a child. He learns to write with a brush dipped in water because he is reluctant to spend paper and ink.”
“If you want to compensate them, be practical, don’t just talk.”
The more Mrs. Kong talked, the angrier she got. This dead scumbag was irresponsible.
It was right to sever the relationship, otherwise, the children would have to support him in his old age. They would be branded unfilial if they didn’t let him take advantage of them, and that would be depressing.
Being squeezed by the two, Xiao Yuanshi’s face was a little embarrassed.
He didn’t feel it before, but now he felt a little uncomfortable.
Ge Chunru spent so much of his money on her brothers and sisters, while his children lived such a hard life.
With this comparison, he suddenly felt that he was indeed a little irresponsible before.
Therefore, he felt a little dissatisfied with Ge Chunru, his little wife.
He said awkwardly: “I don’t have much money now.”
He can still take out tens of thousands of taels, but he will soon return to Northern Xinjiang, and he will have to spend and manage everything, so he can’t take it out to compensate them.
Xiao Baili sneered when she heard this: “So you just lied when you said so much about compensating us?”
“You are so good to your brother-in-law and sister-in-law, and you are willing to spend money on them, but they may not remember your kindness.”
“You are so stingy to us, your biological children. You just want to coax us with words. Do you think we are fools?”
She looked at Xiao Yuanshi, her biological father, with cold eyes: “Sometimes we doubt whether we are your biological children.”
“Of course, this has nothing to do with my mother. It’s just the first time I have met such an irresponsible and cold-blooded father.”
“In the village, I have seen many fathers who don’t eat or drink just to save money for their children.”
“You are rare, at least besides you, there is no one else like you in Xiaxi Village.”
“You should also be thankful that Ge Chunru cannot give birth, otherwise it would be tragic if she gave birth to a child that looked like us siblings.”
Mrs. Kong sneered: “You don’t know how much he would be happy if Ge Chunru gave birth to a child. I’m afraid he would offer him a mountain of gold and silver.”
“He is a treasure, while you are just weeds.”
“But it doesn’t matter. Anyway, he has cut off ties with you.”
“If he has no children and grandchildren in the future, he won’t have the face to come to you if he wants you to raise him.”
The smile on Xiao Yuanshi’s face froze completely: “……”
It turned out that Mrs. Kong’s words could be so sharp and poisonous, and she even cursed him to have no children and grandchildren.
The obedient and weak daughter spoke with a strong sense of sarcasm.
He took a deep breath and said: “I haven’t finished yet, why are you so anxious to conclude?”
Mrs. Kong raised an eyebrow: “You are not stuttering, but talking halfway. Is it interesting?”
“You just said it on purpose to see our reaction.”
“If we were happy to be coaxed by you with a few words, you wouldn’t say this now, but you would be so proud of it in your heart.”
She snorted coldly: “I have seen through a scum like you a long time ago.”
Xiao Yuanshi: “……”
I didn’t expect that you had such ability.
He was speechless.
“We have been married for so long, and this is how you see me?”
He showed a face full of hurt from being misunderstood, and said helplessly: “Yuelan, we used to be happy and harmonious.”
If it were in the past, hearing these words, Mrs. Kong might feel soft-hearted, or reflect on whether she misunderstood him.
Now, she just had goosebumps all over my body.
She scratched her arms: “Forget it.”
“Who has ever been happy with you? Don’t flatter yourself.”
“The worst thing I’ve done in my life is that I was blind and fell in love with a scum like you.”
Then she changed the subject and said: “Of course, because of you, I have three sensible and filial children, so the so-called relationship between us is even.”
“From now on, we will go our own way. I won’t bother you, and you don’t want to plot against me.”
Xiao Yuanshi looked at Kong Yuelan steadily and saw that she didn’t have the love and affection she once had for him, and his heart couldn’t help but stab.
Moreover, he found that Kong Yuelan’s temperament had changed.
Her appearance and temperament had also changed a lot.
In the past, she always dressed in gray, and the whole person was sad, which made her look old.
Now she was wearing a white fur coat. Although her dress was not gorgeous, her makeup was elegant and generous, her skin had become much whiter, and her complexion was better than when he left home to join the army.
Standing with the young Xiao Baili, they looked like sisters instead of mother and daughter.
She didn’t look like a woman in her thirties, but a young woman in her twenties, with a more mature charm than a young woman.
She looked no longer timid, but confident and radiant.
He was in a trance, and could hardly remember what she looked like when she returned to the village to divorce a year ago.
This change was huge.
Because he was slapped that day, Kong Yuelan exposed his secrets and was embarrassed in front of so many people, that he didn’t notice the changes in her appearance and temperament.
Now, looking carefully, he found that she seemed to have become more attractive.
He remembered that the reason he coaxed Kong Yuelan to marry her was not only because she was the only daughter who was favored, but also because she was beautiful and unique in several nearby villages.
When they got married, he was happy.
Before, he wanted to get revenge and ease the relationship between his children, so he planned to coax her back to be a co-wife, but now he was sincere.
So he said hot-headedly: “I know that no matter how much I say, you won’t believe me, so I won’t just say it.”
“I said I would compensate you, so I will compensate you.”
“I can’t take out tens of thousands of silver taels, but a hot spring villa is nearby.”
“Why not compensate Baili and use it as a dowry in the future.”
Ge Chunru gave her sister a hot spring villa as a dowry, so it doesn’t seem too much for him to give one to his daughter as a dowry.
In this way, the mother and daughter could not say that he was just talking nonsense and had no sincerity.
