Chapter 422 The Song Family
Seeing the bracelet she had bought for over a thousand yuan smashed like this, Song Qin's eyes widened in horror, and she let out a scream.
"Song Dabao".
Her voice was so loud that it startled the whole family.
"Song Qin, why are you shouting so loudly?"
Song Qin rushed out of the house and saw Song Dabao hiding behind her sister-in-law, sticking his tongue out at her.
Song Qin was so angry that she had a heart attack and was about to grab her.
Upon seeing this, Song's mother hurriedly stepped in front of her, "Song Qin, what are you doing?"
"Get out of the way," Song Qin said angrily.
Seeing her expression, Song Dabao became frightened and hurriedly said to his mother, "Grandma, save me! Don't move aside!"
"Okay, okay, don't be afraid, Grandma won't let you through."
Song Qin pushed her mother hard, causing her to stumble.
Enraged, Song's mother shouted, "Song Qin, you've gone too far! You unfilial daughter, how dare you lay a hand on me? Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?"
Song Qin: "Did I tell you to move aside?"
"Why are you being so fierce? Da Bao is still a child, don't scare him."
"Ha, I scared him? I think he's very brave. You could scare him to death and he still wouldn't be afraid."
As she spoke, Song Qin went to grab Song Dabao again.
But her sister-in-law, Wang Dujuan, stood firmly in front of her, shouting, "Sister, let's talk this out! What happened? Dabao is still a child. I'll apologize for whatever he did."
"Ha, an apology? Is an apology enough? Go inside and see what your son has done."
Wang Dujuan turned to look at her son suspiciously, then asked Song Qin, "Sister, what did Dabao do?"
"Go and see."
Wang Dujuan was worried that Song Qin would hit her son, so she handed her son over to her mother-in-law before going to Song Qin's room to check on him.
She was quite surprised to see the mess on the floor, but she still smiled and said, "What do you mean, Da Bao? Did you accidentally spill Auntie's clothes on the floor?"
"Yes, I spilled it on the ground by accident."
Mother Song snorted coldly and said, "What did I think you were doing, looking like you were about to kill someone? It turns out that Da Bao accidentally dropped your clothes on the ground. Couldn't you have picked them up? And you still have the nerve to blame the child?"
Song Qin's eyes widened as she pointed to the mess on the floor and said, "You call this an accident?"
Song's mother also went to take a look. Seeing the clothes and things scattered all over the ground, and several footprints on the white clothes, it really didn't seem like an accident.
Song Qin said angrily, "I only went to the toilet for a few minutes, and this happened. You're telling me this is an accident?"
"Well... Sister, how about this, I'll wash your clothes for you."
"Is this about doing laundry?"
She picked up the broken bead from the ground, her eyes red and on the verge of tears.
"He hurt me like this, is this something I did while washing clothes?"
"Oh dear, sister, it's just a glass bead, I'll pay you back."
"These are glass beads?" Song Qin was almost laughing in anger, and she took out the invoice from the packaging bag and threw it at Wang Dujuan's hand.
"You want to pay compensation, right? Fine, you pay compensation then."
When Wang Dujuan saw the invoice, her eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
"Fifteen thousand? These few glass beads are worth fifteen thousand? Sister, you're really wasting money. Mom, are you going to stop me? My sister spent fifteen thousand on a string of glass beads."
Wang Dujuan gave the invoice to Song's mother.
After seeing the price, Song's mother stomped her feet in frustration.
"You're going to die, you're going to die! You spend 1,500 yuan on such a worthless bead! Do you know that your brother works himself to the bone all year round, without eating or drinking, and he still can't earn 1,500 yuan? How dare you? How dare you?"
Wang Dujuan chimed in, "Sister, this is too expensive. We're just an ordinary family; we really shouldn't be buying such expensive things."
"I'm buying things with my own money, what's it to you?"
Wang Dujuan: "..."
“Mom, look at my sister. I’ve been advising her to be more frugal because I’m worried she’ll spend money recklessly and won’t have any to spare when she needs it in the future.”
Song's mother patted her hand to comfort her, then looked at Song Qin and said, "Your brother can't earn as much as this glass bead in a year. You're only thinking about your own happiness, have you thought about your brother?"
Song Qin: "What does it have to do with me if he doesn't earn 1,500 a year?"
"What's it to you? How did I raise you since you were little? You're the older sister, you have to take care of your younger brother, don't you remember?"
He's only a year younger than me.
"Xiao Yitian is also a younger brother."
“If he were still a child, I could take care of him, but he’s an adult, married and has children.”
“That’s still my brother, Song Qin. You can’t just think about your own comfort and ignore your brother.”
"How could I not have taken care of it? Haven't I given enough over the years?"
"You only gave the family 100 yuan this month, and you told me you gave them 20 more. That's far too little; it's not enough to live on at all. Instead of spending your money on these things, you should give the family more money to improve their living conditions."
Now that it's Chinese New Year, shouldn't you give a red envelope to your brother and sister-in-law, or to your eldest son? Your father and I are still young and capable, so you don't need to take care of that for now. You should give the red envelope to your eldest son first.
"Ha, you expect me to take responsibility when you and Dad get old?"
"Of course! We raised you when you were young, shouldn't you take care of us when we're old?"
"What about your younger brother?"
“Your younger brother is not well-off. He doesn’t earn as much as you, and he has to support his children.”
Song Qin suddenly laughed, "Then why are you raising a son?"
Song’s mother: “…”
"Don't you always say that raising children is for old age security? What's wrong? Your son isn't going to support you in your old age?"
"Hey, why are you saying that about your brother? He didn't say he wouldn't support us, it's just that his abilities are limited..."
"His limited abilities are his problem, what does it have to do with me?"
Song's mother opened her mouth, then after a moment said, "You are the older sister..."
"Alright." Before she could finish speaking, Song Qin interrupted her, "I'm the older sister, I've heard that since I was little, I'm sick of it. Fine, I won't be the older sister anymore, okay? From now on I'll call Song Wei 'brother,' and I'll ask him to take care of me, okay?"
"You... Song Qin, how could you say such a thing?"
"Then how do you expect me to speak? From childhood to adulthood, don't you know how much unfair treatment I've suffered just to be called 'sister'?"
"Alright, alright, I won't talk about your sister. I'm asking you, why did you spend money to buy these things?"
"I can spend the money I earn however I want."
"You're talking nonsense. I'm your mother, and you have to listen to me."
Song's mother muttered curses as she bent down to pick up the clothes, only to discover that they were all new, with the tags still on.
Upon seeing the price again, Song's mother felt her blood boil and nearly fainted from the heartache.
