Chapter 56: Too Thick-skinned

Before Shan An could finish, Sun Ling interrupted him angrily. She slammed the table and scolded, “You believe your leader’s fart, right? We’ve already been in arrears for a month. We’ve already spent all our money at home. There are still a few mouths waiting to eat. Do you want to starve us to death?”
Sun Ling’s voice was very loud. Shan An shrank his neck. He remembered that his family should have some savings, so it was not to the extent that he could not eat. However, he felt that Sun Ling seemed to be furious for no reason today.
“Shan An, you’re a good-for-nothing. You can’t even support your wife and children. What’s the use of you…”
Sun Ling vented her anger on Shan An and turned to look at Shan Yue, who was eating quietly. “And you—”
Shan Yue had long guessed Sun Ling’s intention of making an example of her. She was jealous that she was rich and wanted to ask her for money!
Shan Yue was quite tired after watching Sun Ling perform alone for so long. She put down her chopsticks and crossed her arms. She raised her chin and looked at Sun Ling calmly. “Huh?”
Under Shan Yue’s cold gaze, Sun Ling’s aura weakened a lot. She could only mutter, “You eat and drink at home every day and even live in my house. It was fine if you weren’t capable in the past, but now that you’re capable, you don’t even know how to subsidize the family…”
Shan Xing felt that what Sun Ling said made sense. She had been jealous of the good things Shan Yue had bought for Shan Chen for a long time. She wanted to please Shan Yue and was almost strangled to death by Shan Yue. She hated her to the core. Naturally, she couldn’t wait for Shan Yue to live as uncomfortably as possible in the Shan family. She chimed in, “At least Mom gave birth to us after ten months of pregnancy. Some people better not be ingrates who don’t know how to repay kindness.”
Because she was afraid that Shan Yue would hit her if she went overboard, Shan Xing could only be sarcastic without naming her.
“How can you treat Sister like this…” Shan Chen sensed that the situation was very disadvantageous to Shan Yue. He wanted to protect Shan Yue, but he did not know where to start.
“Sure.” Shan Yue ignored the two gossipy women and raised her chin in agreement. “Send me your bank card number.”
At this moment, she only felt sad for the Host. When she had no money, Sun Ling was like an executioner. When she had money, Sun Ling was like a vampire who wanted to suck her dry.
Hearing that Shan Yue had relented, Sun Ling was delighted. Her originally bitter face instantly changed. She hurriedly took out her phone from her pocket. “Okay, okay, transfer it to me now!”
Shan Yue was also very fast. As soon as she got Sun Ling’s bank account number, she moved her fingers and transferred the money.
With a ding, Sun Ling received the news that a sum of money had been transferred into her bank card. The creases beside her eyes were about to smile, but when she took a closer look, it was not the four zeros or five zeros she had expected, but only three thousand yuan.
“Only 3,000 yuan? Shan Yue, are you trying to dismiss a beggar?” Sun Ling blurted out in anger. Shan Yue casually bought something for Shan Chen for tens of thousands of yuan, but she only gave her 3,000 yuan?
“Do you think it’s too much?” Shan Yue raised her eyebrows and added, “This 3,000 yuan is for me, Shan Chen, and Dad’s food expenses this month. If you think it’s too much, return half of it to me.”
She had already treated Shan Chen as her biological younger brother, so she naturally had to take care of him. Shan An had a weak personality and was always bullied in the Shan family. It was also hard for him to earn money. Shan Yue understood him, so she also paid for his food expenses to save Sun Ling from nagging.
With the simple food of the Shan family, it was difficult to see meat for a few days. It was impossible for the three of them to eat more than 3,000 yuan. She would not argue with Sun Ling about the excess.
“How am I complaining that it’s too much? Shan Yue, you have so much money. Why did you only give the family this little bit?” Sun Ling was about to go crazy with anger. Although it was not bad to get the money now, it was too different from what she had expected!
“Isn’t this money enough?” Shan Yue asked in confusion. She was simply surprised by Sun Ling’s thick skin. “If I remember correctly, you only earn less than two thousand a month, right? When did three thousand yuan become a small sum in your eyes?” Shan Yue said it seriously, but in Sun Ling’s ears, it was endless sarcasm and ridicule.
This seemed to be the first time Shan Yue had mocked her so sharply! Sun Ling was even angrier, and her face flushed red with agitation and unwillingness.
