Chapter 742: Money Tree And ATM (2)
“Yes, you’re right. As your daughter, I have the obligation to give you money to spend and to be filial to you. As your son-in-law, he has the obligation to do so as well. However, you know very well that this isn’t a question of obligation at all! “If Grandpa Lin hadn’t mentioned a million yuan betrothal gift when he first came knocking on our door, if the Lin family back then was so poor that they were even worse off than our family, would you have agreed to this marriage? I don’t agree with your way of doing things because I’m not called a money tree, and Lin Jiage isn’t called an ATM either!”
Shi Yao’s long list of words infuriated father shi so much that his face flushed red. “You unfilial daughter! You…”
He pointed at Shi Yao and stammered for a long time, but he still couldn’t bring himself to scold her, in the end, he turned to Shi and said, “You’re the one who raised such a good daughter! It’s no wonder they say that the water that a married daughter splashes out before she’s even married is already on the side of outsiders!”
After being scolded for no good reason, Shi Yao’s mother.., she flew into a rage as well. “Why are you scolding me like that? It’s as if I’m the only one who gave birth to my daughter! I told you a long time ago that it’s impossible for your daughter to change her mind. You were the one who refused to give up and shamelessly made repeated trips to the Lin residence. When you saw that there was no way out of the Lin Residence, you pretended to be sick and pretended to be pitiful so that your daughter could look for Jiange. But now, your daughter has rejected you. What does that have to do with me?
Pretending to be sick?!!
Hearing those two words, Shi Yao didn’t say a word. However, she lowered her eyes to hide the disappointment in her eyes.
“It doesn’t have anything to do with you. Soon, it’s going to be the same for me as well!”
“If it doesn’t matter, then it doesn’t matter. Back then, it was because my daughter was going to marry into the Lin family that I made do with you. Now, I don’t want to spend a single day with you anymore!”
“But it’s just a matter of time. Tomorrow, we’ll go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to settle the divorce!”
“If it’s settled, then it’s settled. Let me tell you, if you don’t divorce me, you’ll be my grandson!”
“…”
Her parents kept on arguing over the divorce, and it was an irreconcilable quarrel.
Shi Yao listened by the side for a while, but eventually, she couldn’t bear to listen any longer. Without saying a word, she left the ward.
It was as if they hadn’t noticed that a living person like her was walking away. They were still arguing, and in fact, their words were even worse.
After leaving the ward, Shi Yao closed the door behind her. When she reached the elevator, she could still vaguely hear her parents cursing. It was probably because they had woken up a patient, so a nurse went over to stop them.
Pretending not to know anything, Shi Yao entered the elevator and headed to the first floor. She walked out of the inpatient building and casually found a chair in the hospital garden to sit on.
Her mind went blank for a long time before she managed to read two words from the bottom of her heart: disappointed.
That’s right, she was truly disappointed. Seeing that their goal had failed, they brazenly started talking about divorce right in front of her… to them, what was she to them? The unnecessary burdens and extras between them?
But if they really got divorced, what should she do?
Shi Yao was truly a little afraid, afraid that they would get divorced.
But deep down, she knew very well that they might really be unable to live on. They might get divorced and go about their own lives, and then she would lose her father and mother overnight… and now.., even though she had someone that she liked, he was no longer her fiancé..
The more Shi Yao thought about it, the sadder she felt. With tears in her eyes, she stared at her phone for a moment before scrolling through Lin Jiage’s phone number and dialing it.
