?Chapter 533: Chapter 223: One Less is One Less Chapter 533: Chapter 223: One Less is One Less “Mom, how did it go? How much money did my eldest sister give you?” Li Hongqi had been waiting at home, not even going to the hospital or to work, and upon hearing some noise at the entrance, he hurriedly got off the kang to see. Seeing it was indeed his mother returning, he quickly asked.

“Money? What money? Let me tell you, those two are no good, nothing but beasts! When I got there, there was no talking sense with them. Liu Jianjun even tried to hit me with a shovel, just after I mentioned borrowing some money for your wife’s hospitalization. They kicked me out! Liu Jianjun is worthless, and he told me even if he had the money, he wouldn’t lend it to me.” Qiu Shuping was fuming with anger. All the way home, she had been pondering how to tell her son. She hadn’t managed to take care of the matter her son had entrusted her with, and in her mind, all the blame rested on her eldest daughter and son-in-law—it had nothing to do with her.

Upon hearing the first few words from his mother, Li Hongqi’s expression turned sour. He too realized his mother hadn’t brought back any money and felt deep resentment, both towards his mother and his eldest sister’s family. His opinion of his mother was that she was more likely to spoil things than achieve them, but sometimes, she had to be the one to charge ahead—there was no other way.

“Did they really say that?” Li Hongqi couldn’t quite believe what his mother was saying. His impression of his brother-in-law was that of a big fool who had never spoken so assertively at home.

Though skeptical, the news of returning empty-handed kindled a flicker of hatred in his heart; they were all looking down on him. Just borrowing a sum of money was too much to ask. Just wait, wait until the day he made it big—he would make them all kneel and beg him.

“Exactly, would I lie to you? I told you that asking your eldest sister wouldn’t work out,” Qiu Shuping breathed a sigh of relief. She had never wanted to ask her eldest daughter for money in the first place—it would’ve been like slapping her own face. Even though she had been there once and had already been slapped in the face, she was afraid her son wouldn’t give up and would make her go again. She couldn’t imagine how many more slaps she would have to endure.
