Chapter 197 The Mother of Char Siu Man 2 (23)
"Mom, can't you take out your share of the money and use it first?"
Luo Yefan said, forcing himself to speak.
Knowing that Luo Yefan would think that way, Xia Mingwei didn't hold back and gave Luo Yefan a sharp rap on the head.
She spoke in a harsh tone, adding a warning, "I advise you to give up on that idea! This money in my hand is my last resort, and I will absolutely not use it!"
In order to achieve his goal, Luo Yefan eagerly added, "Mom, just consider it a loan from us! We'll pay you back as soon as we have the money!"
Hearing Luo Yefan's arrogant words, Xia Mingwei finally couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Pay it back after you use it? That sounds nice, but how are you going to pay it back? With your arrogant young master attitude, or with your spendthrift spending habits?"
"Your abilities may be unknown to others, but how could I not know them?"
Luo Yefan's face turned bright red when he heard Xia Mingwei's teasing words.
Since the dramatic changes in his family life, he's noticed that his mother's words have become increasingly sharp!
Not only do they say things that are unpleasant to hear, but they also frequently belittle him to the point of being worthless!
Seeing that he couldn't get money out of his mother, Luo Yefan decided to try a different strategy.
"Mom, the pressure of family life is so great these days, we need to make some changes too!"
Xia Mingwei had no idea what he was up to, so she could only go along with him and say, "Do you have any good ideas?"
Luo Yefan cleared his throat. "Before, we had money, so adopting a child was no problem! But now it's different. Our whole family has to be frugal, so we have to cut some unnecessary expenses!"
Xia Ming interrupted Luo Yefan impatiently, "So what exactly do you want to say?"
"Mom, if you were willing to raise this child before, and you liked him, then of course there was no problem! But things are different now. Our family has gone bankrupt, and we don't have the extra money to raise this child anymore!"
Xia Ming frowned slightly. "So you mean...?"
“Let’s send her back to the orphanage! Since we can’t give Hachi a comfortable life, we can’t be so selfish as to leave her here and make her suffer with us!”
Xia Mingwei sneered inwardly. What a high-sounding excuse! She clearly wanted to get rid of Xiao Ba, this "burden," but she claimed it was for her own good!
Luo Yefan is truly selfish, inside and out!
A glint flashed in Shu Qing's eyes after hearing Luo Yefan's suggestion.
Once the child disappears, wouldn't the previous problems with the baby's room be easily solved?
Moreover, she is confident that her baby will receive the best treatment, given that she only has one child!
Shu Qing's heart raced with excitement as she thought about it. At this moment, she couldn't wait to kick this eyesore out of the house!
Seeing that Xia Mingwei remained silent for a long time, Shu Qing also joined in the persuasion.
"Mom, I think Fan-gege is right! We can't stop Xiaoba from meeting someone better!"
Hearing the couple's shameless words, Xia Mingwei sneered.
"As expected, you can't sleep in the same bed with two different kinds of people! You're all equally shameless!"
"You want me to send Xiao Ba away so you can take the money I have and spend it on yourselves, right? Let me tell you, give up on that idea! I'd rather throw my money into the river and listen to the sound of the water than spend it on you!"
Luo Yefan looked incredulous, as if he had been deeply hurt, and questioned Xia Mingwei, "Mom, how could you say that? I'm your only child!"
"The only one? I remember I adopted Xiao Ba a long time ago. With my sweet little girl by my side, you're really not the only one!"
Luo Yefan gritted his teeth and pressed on again, "Mom, things have come to this point. Is it because you still have feelings for Uncle He that you insist on adopting this child?"
Seeing that Luo Yefan was so insistent on this issue, Xia Mingwei nodded, wanting to stab him in the heart.
A hint of resentment flashed through Luo Yefan's mind. His mother had finally admitted that she had adopted this little thing to cause him trouble because she was still hung up on that man!
"Mom, is that Uncle He really that good?"
As Luo Yefan asked his question, he didn't even realize that his tone had taken on a hint of resentment.
Xia Mingwei pretended that her thoughts had drifted far away and nodded with a happy expression.
"He is Mom's true love! If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have missed out on him like this!"
At the same time, Luo Yefan was even more devastated, "Mom, if you and him are true love, then what about my dad? What is he? And what am I?"
Xia Ming tilted her head slightly. "So you two are just unlucky?"
Luo Yefan's heart skipped a beat. He suddenly felt a little fortunate that his father had passed away early!
Otherwise, with his mother's sharp tongue, he would be driven to death sooner or later!
Xia Mingwei spread her hands innocently and said casually, "Actually, it's not my fault! It's just that fate made us meet too late!"
"We'll meet so many people in our lives! We never know when true love will come. Before, Mom had to bury this love in her heart to raise you! Now that you're grown up, it's time for me to live my own life!"
After saying this to Luo Yefan, Xia Mingwei turned to Shu Qing and said, "What happened before was my fault! From now on, I will no longer oppose your true love! I also hope that you can live your lives well!"
Hearing Xia Mingwei's "sincere" words of blessing, Shu Qing felt really uncomfortable.
Why did her words, which were meant to be blessings, sound so sarcastic when they came out of her mouth?
It seems that she and this old hag are definitely natural enemies and can never live in peace together in this lifetime!
Seeing that the two seemed out of sorts, Xia Mingwei emphasized again, "You don't need to worry about raising Xiao Ba! I'll cover the money she needs myself!"
Xia Mingwei paused for a moment, then continued, "But you two need to hurry up and get to work. I don't plan to support two idle people like you! And of course, there's also a little burden!"
"The latest deadline is next Friday. You need to find a job! Also, the beginning of each month is your household payment due date, so don't forget to give me the money!"
"Of course, you'll all have to learn to do housework yourselves! I don't want to serve your whole family every day! As for how to do it and who should do it, you can discuss it yourselves, I'm easygoing!"
"As for other things, I'll add them when I think of them!"
Xia Mingwei reiterated the matter, then left the three of them behind and took Xiao Ba with her as they went out.
