Although Xu Ya lowered her voice, her tone was filled with sparks.
Xu Yun just told me that she was going to set up a stall to earn tuition fees during the Spring Festival Gala. Look, look at what's going on here; for Xu Tang, we've borrowed money from everywhere, and not only do we owe her a huge debt, but we also have to inconvenience her to earn tuition fees.
As parents, we've painstakingly raised them up. What should be taught, we've taught them, what should be taught, we'll do it, if he doesn't learn well, he'll forcefully follow the little hoodlums in society, and now that a huge disaster has occurred, he should be allowed to bear the consequences himself. One hundred thousand yuan, this isn't a small amount, even if we eat and drink for ten years, we might not be able to save it all.
He's in prison right now, and we're all running around with our arms crossed. What's wrong with that, he made a mistake, we parents are wrong, it's my fault that we couldn't make him be a good person, it's useless as a father. But Miao Shufeng, I really can't throw away my face to borrow money, I can't do that, it's beyond our capabilities, do you know that?
Xu Yu's expression was very excited, her words were also in disarray. If she summed up her words, they would be money, and she wouldn't be able to borrow any more money.
If anyone else were to shout at her, she would definitely roar back at them, and she would never lower her head in any way. Therefore, upon seeing and hearing Xu Ya lose her temper at her, she got angry as well.
"You want him to take it on his own? How old is he? He's not even sixteen yet. He's not even an adult yet, Xu Ya! Are you talking in human language? You think he wants to stay in jail? Was it comfortable being in jail? "You didn't see it with your own eyes, did you know that he was beaten so badly that his entire body was covered with wounds? That was my flesh?"
"Do you even understand that money is dead and people are living? No matter how much money we borrow, being able to save people is still a good thing. Money can be earned no matter what, but if we don't have money, then we're really dead. That's my own son."
"If your son doesn't teach his father, then you're useless. You're really useless. You're a good-for-nothing, a good-for-nothing!"
Xu Yu said so much, but Miao Shufeng only heard a few sentences. In particular, Xu Yu's words, that he no longer wanted to borrow money, were so painful that it pierced her heart.
"I am a useless trash, then what are you? You only know how to play cards all day long, and you really put in effort to teach him, to care about him? If you don't teach me, then it's your father's fault. I admit that I'm useless, and I'm just a good-for-nothing, but you're not that good either! "
Xu Yu's eyes widened in anger, and her fiendish demeanor roused Miao Shufeng to her senses. She stood up and shouted.
"Bullshit! How am I going to teach and control him all day long?" I'm the one who's been worrying about all the big and small things in this house. What have you done? I come back once a week. I come back with either a student or a colleague, you just casually say, "Guests are here, get some good food, I'm the one who does everything, be it caring about the child, teaching the child, taking care of the child, what have you done?" "Father, how are you qualified?"
"Even this husband is not worthy for you to know? Did you wash a dress? Have you washed a bowl? Did you buy a dish? Did you send your child to school for one day? What's more, the money, your salary, and the amount of money you have to support your family have all decreased. Yet, for face, you decided to sponsor this student, fund that student, treat him to a meal today, and then have someone help you out. Now that you're here to blame me, I'm not going to waste any effort at all? "Xu Yu, are you still human?"
Every word of his was like a poke at Xu Ya's face. His dignity as a man was completely overturned by Miao Shufeng, and was now fiercely trampling on the ground beneath her feet.
I admit that I didn't teach Xu Tang very well. But you said that I was willing to help out the students, that it was someone worth it for me to help. You, Miao Shufeng, are a madman. No matter what you say, I won't lend you the money.
"In my entire life, I have never done such a shameful thing. Even though I am so old, I still wear shoes of such size. I know I can't wear these shoes, yet I still forcibly wear them. "Therefore, I will not borrow any more money. You decide for yourself!"
The argument over urging her on had long gone awry, and the matter of Xu Yun wanting to set up a stall had been thrown far away.
The people who were quarrelling had all accumulated their efforts over time. The matter of locking the both of them up had turned into an unreserved act of insulting the other.
"Xu Ya, you useless trash, why don't you go and die? Why do I have to work so hard every day?" You earn as much every month as I do, but how much do I have to worry about this family? According to the rules, a woman must do all the housework? I'm a shrew? "When you married me, why didn't you say I was a shrew?"
I married you because I was blind. Even if I married a beggar that year, I would still be stronger than you!
Listening to the argument on the second floor, which was getting more and more out of topic, before it once again escalated to a personal attack, Xu Yun gritted her teeth and mockingly thought back to a few years later, when everyone in her circle of friends had once again discussed how women were made of steel and concrete.
In this family, the one who paid the most was indeed her mother. Although her father had paid the most, it was only in terms of wages. And in 1998, the salaries of the teachers were pitifully low.
However, life was like this. If nothing had happened to Xu Tang, with his parents' wages, this house would have been able to live happily and comfortably. At the very least, in a place like X City, it would have been considered a better life.
However, the problem was that Xu Tang was in trouble and the Deng Family needed another 100,000 yuan to settle it privately. All of the arguments came from those who had been held back by the money. Moreover, those who had been held back had gone crazy.
This was not the first time Xu Yun had seen such a quarrel, but it was also not the last. She knew that her parents had argued and argued for half their lives, but in the end, they were both old enough to take care of each other.
But these words, ah, if said, will be piercing for the rest of your life!
From the perspective of the onlookers, Xu Tang would have to bear half of the responsibility for the Xu Family's situation. It was because he had caused trouble that he had forced Xu Yu and Miao Shufeng into such a sorry state.
In the end, it was said that even though Father was a man of manhood and did not pay much price, he was still very tolerant of Mother's sharp tongue. Furthermore, after every quarrel, Father would be the first one to coax Mother.
Compared to those men who, no matter what, would never lower their heads to women and wait for them to coax them, Xu Ya's masculinity could be considered to be rather low.
Hearing these words, Xu Yun, whose head was in a mess, could not help but lower her hands and place the bowl down. Just as she was about to leave to take a breather, the current atmosphere in the house was really very stifling. If she stayed any longer, it was hard to guarantee that she would not be affected.
When she turned around, she saw her grandma leaning on the door, crying silently. Seeing her look over, her grandma quickly wiped it away. She said with a forced smile, "Yun, what are you trying to sell?"
