Father Li knew his second son’s character well. Hearing what Li Chenxuan said, he knew that they were here as they wanted to get some benefits from him.
"It’s not necessary. We have enough people, and the renovation will be completed soon." Father Li said as he ate the steamed buns. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
"Father, how can you say that? It is the responsibility of our Li family to repair the ancestral house. As your son and daughter-in-law, we also need to help." Jiao Siyu said with a smile.
Father Li snorted when he heard her words and said, "Do you think I don’t know what you’re thinking? When we separated the family before, you already got your share. You and your elder brother get the house, money and some furniture. Therefore, this ancestral house will be given to your third brother."
"Father, it’s different. We do have a house, but it’s only a three-bedroom house. As for the money, we only got 350 yuan." Jiao Siyu said with a frown, clearly displeased.
"What’s the difference? Do you think 350 yuan is a small amount? Most of the money in our family was given by the third son. However, when we separated, he didn’t get a penny. If you want to bring that up, shall we talk about the money you borrowed before? When will you give it back to me?" Father Li asked with a trace of anger.
Hearing that Father Li wanted to ask for the borrowed money, Li Chenxuan tugged on his wife’s sleeve. He looked at Father Li and said, "Father, that’s not what we mean."
"Then what do you mean by those ugly words?" Li Chenze asked.
"Brother, this matter has nothing to do with you. Why did you interrupt when I was talking to our father?" Li Chenxuan asked with a frown.
"What? As your elder brother, I can’t even ask you now?" Li Chenze asked with a frown.
Before Li Chenxuan could refute, Father Li interrupted him, "This matter has nothing to do with you. So, don’t ask any more."
Jiao Siyu was unwilling to get no benefit, and said, "Father, even if this house is given to the third brother, you should give us some money to compensate for our share. This house is a courtyard house, and the value is more than the three-bedroom house and 350 yuan."
Father Li finally looked at her and asked coldly, "So you want me to make a private transaction with you now?"
Hearing this, Li Chenxuan and Jiao Siyu were taken aback. This charge could land them in jail!
"Father! What are you talking about? We are just asking for our share, how can you accuse us like this?" Li Chenxuan shouted angrily.
