âThis is your familyâs matter. I have no obligation to give you any more money.â
âIâm your younger brother. How arenât you obligated?â Liu Kaiâs expression changed as he said confidently.
âIâm not married yet. When the time comes, youâll have to give me money to buy a house in Zhonghai.â
âOver all these years, Iâve already given you a lot of money. You have your life, and I have mine. We have nothing to do with each other anymore. Donât ask me for money anymore.â Li Chuhan said.
âBesides, you didnât ask for money to buy fertilizer. You must want to gamble with it. Donât lie to me.â
âI donât gamble anymore. Iâm really going to buy fertilizer. Hurry up and give me 5,000 yuan. Iâm in a hurry.â
âWhen I came back last year, I already told you that the last sum would be the last 10,000 yuan. Moreover, you signed an agreement with me. Do you think itâs appropriate to ask for money at this time?â
âThen can you bear to see the land at home dry up completely? Will you be satisfied if Dad and I starve to death at home?!â
âIâve already given you enough. How much longer do you want me to continue giving you handouts?â Li Chuhan said expressionlessly.
âYou know damn well whatâs going on. Whenever you receive money, you spend it all to drink and gamble. No matter how much money I give, itâll never be enough for you!â
âIâve already said that this is the last time. If you give us another 5,000 yuan, I wonât ask you for money anymore.â
âImpossible!â Li Chuhan said.
âYou said the same thing last year. Do you think I can still trust you?â
âAre you even human?! You donât even help your own brother! Iâve raised you for so many years for nothing!â
Pap!
Li Chuhan raised his hand and slapped Liu Kaiâs face. âMom was the one who raised me since I was young. It had nothing to do with you. Besides, Iâve already cut ties with this family. Donât talk to me like that!â
âHow dare you hit me?!â
Liu Kai covered his face. He did not expect Li Chuhan to hit him.
âThis slap is to remind you of seniority. So many years, wasted. Besides gambling, you donât even know basic etiquette or shame.â
âAlright, I will remember this. You are disregarding your family today, right? Dad and I will go to the hospital tomorrow and look for your boss. Believe me that we will be able to tarnish your reputation!â
âYou!â
Li Chuhan was so angry that her body was trembling. She didnât expect them to be so shameless!
âAlright, calm down.â
Lin Yi patted Li Chuhanâs shoulder.
âSome things should be resolved as soon as possible. We canât waste time.â
âBut thereâs no way to resolve this matter. Every time I come back, theyâll stand guard here and demand money from me. If I didnât come early today, I might not even have been able to visit the grave.â
âThatâs why I said I wanted to resolve it once and for all. You canât keep dragging it out.â
Liu Kai glanced at Lin Yi. âYour friend knows how to handle things to avoid disaster. If not for him, donât even think about working in the hospital. Weâll definitely ruin your reputation!â
âI suspect that your father is the one who instructed you to stay here every year to ask for money. This is not a place to talk. Letâs talk at your house.â
âAlright, as long as you give me money, we can talk anywhere.â
Liu Kai turned around. âThat Mercedes-Benz on the street is yours, right? It should be quite expensive. Iâve never rode in a Mercedes-Benz before.â
âYouâre dreaming. You ride your motorcycle. Weâll drive.â
âWhat do you mean? Isnât it just a Mercedes-Benz? Canât I take a ride in it? You donât take me seriously at all.â
âDo you still want the money?â
âAlright, you guys drive. Iâll ride the motorcycle.â
Lin Yi patted Li Chuhanâs shoulder. âCome on, get in.â
The two of them got into the car. Liu Kai followed them all the way to her house.
Li Chuhanâs house was not in the town, but in a small mud hut a hundred meters away.
Most of the people in town also lived around here.
Seeing the red Mercedes drive over, people on the street gathered around. They had never seen such a good car before.
The two of them got out of the car. Lin Yi pointed at the wooden door in front of them, âIs this your house?â
âYes.â Li Chuhan nodded in shame.
âLetâs go. Didnât you guys want to talk? Letâs go in now,â Liu Kai said while panting from behind.
Lin Yi walked over and kicked open the wooden door.
It was not very sturdy to begin with, so this kick sent the wooden door flying.
The middle-aged man who was drinking inside was shocked, thinking that something bad had happened.
Li Chuhanâs fatherâs name was Liu Dajun. He had a buzz cut, dark skin, and was shirtless. He wore a pair of army green pants and a pair of yellow rubber shoes. There was a bottle of white wine on the table and a plate of peanuts which he was eating happily.
âWhat are you doing?!â Liu Kai said.
âThat is none of your business. Get lost.â
Lin Yi crossed the threshold and looked at Dajun.
âThe two of you have been asking her for money every year, right?â
âSheâs my daughter. Itâs only right for me to ask her for money!â Liu Dajun said.
Whoosh!
Lin Yi flipped the table without a word, and Liu Dajun stood up in shock. âYou, what are you doing?â
âNothing. I just came to tell you that she will have nothing to do with you in the future. Donât think about her asking for money. If I find out once, Iâll dig a hole in the back of the mountain and bury the two of you alive.â
âYou⦠do you have any respect for the law?!â
âI am the law. Iâve already made this clear today. If you donât believe me, you can give it a try.â
Liu Dajun and Liu Kai both bullied the weak and feared the strong. They dared to shout in front of Li Chuhan, but in front of the fierce Lin Yi, they were like docile sheep.
Lin Yi had long seen through the nature of these people. They had the guts to bully people like Li Chuhan.
If they encountered a powerful person, they were cowards and did not dare to speak.
From the beginning to the end, Li Chuhan did not say a word. She no longer had any feelings for the Liu family. In fact, she was even more distant than a stranger to them.
She only hoped that Lin Yi would help her cut off all contact with them so that she would not need to interact with them in the future.
âIâm asking you a question, do you hear me?â
âI-I heard youâ¦â
Just as Lin Yi had expected, the two of them didnât have much ability. Other than the small amount of land at home and the monthly allowance, their biggest source of income was the money they extorted from Li Chuhan.
However, they only dared to bully Li Chuhan. When facing Lin Yi, they became cowards.
âAs long as you heard me.â
Lin Yi turned around and grabbed Li Chuhanâs hand. âLetâs go. Weâre done here. Itâs time to get down to business.â
âYeah.â
âDonât even think about leaving!â
As soon as the two of them stepped out of the door, they saw more than ten people rushing up. They were the merchants who had blocked the road previously.
However, other than the elderly, there were also many young people around them.
Judging from their expressions and actions, these people should be their family members.
âWhatâs this about? Are you asking me to buy fish again?â
