Chapter 1439: Chapter 1013: Full-time Mother’s Counterattack 21
The lawyer representing Qi Qi politely asked the younger brother: "May I ask, Mr. Qi, what kind of work do you do, and how much is your monthly salary? You mentioned that you provide 3,000 yuan monthly to your parents as a pension, and combined with what your sister gives, that’s 4,000 yuan. Adding your parents’ monthly pension, that’s a total monthly income of ten thousand yuan, which should be sufficient for their retirement. Why then are you criticizing your sister for needing to pay alimony? Also, surely your salary income is documented in bank statements? Even if your workplace pays in cash, there should be pay slips, right? You need to present all this to prove you have the capability to support your parents with 3,000 yuan."
In a small 18th-tier county town, everyone was curious about what kind of job this Mr. Qi had that allowed him to give 3,000 yuan to his parents, while he also had his own family, a wife and kids to support. If his salary was ten thousand yuan, giving 3,000 would be reasonable, but if he only earned five thousand yuan, giving 3,000 seems questionable. After all, everyone has their own family and they all do the math.
This question hit the key point. Qi Yong wasn’t brave at all; he opened his mouth several times but couldn’t say a complete sentence.
Qi Qi snickered on the side: "He doesn’t even have a formal job, he’s just patching one loan with another and living off his parents, giving 3,000? It’s probably my parents giving his family 3,000 every month, right?"
Qi Yong, enraged with shame, slammed the table and stood up, roaring at her.
"Nonsense, you’re divorced, and you think you can control everything, even what mom and dad give me. You are just jealous, but there’s nothing you can do because I’m the backbone of this family, I’m the son, it’s my rightful place. So what if I’m living off my parents? Shouldn’t you, earning so much, contribute to your maternal family? Other people’s daughters always remember their brothers and nieces and nephews, but you? You’re stingy like an iron rooster, not willing to give a penny. What kind of sister are you?"
Qi Qi looked at this unambitious person with a face full of disappointment, sighed silently, and said no more. Their parents, seeing their son like this, knowing he’s gone astray beyond help, still turned pleading eyes towards her, and even said something she found hard to believe.
"If we sever ties with you, how much do you think it would be worth?"
Qi Qi suddenly looked up, her clear eyes full of shock: "You want to sever ties with me?"
"What else, if we don’t sever ties with you, should we sever ties with him? What’s the point of keeping an unfaithful and unfilial person like you? Better off..."
"Shut up!" Mr. Qi was truly infuriated, he yelled at his son, then tried to look at Qi Qi with a calm gaze.
There was no guilt or embarrassment in their eyes, more like a decisiveness after careful consideration?
"We raised you until you were twenty, how would two hundred thousand a year be, for twenty years, you give four hundred thousand, from now on, do whatever you want, we won’t even,"
"What? Four hundred thousand? That’s like sending away a beggar. Dad, do you know how much she earns a year? It’s in the millions, yet you’re only asking for four hundred thousand? Just the milk powder money alone every month, how’s two hundred thousand a year not enough, a hundred thousand a year is more like it,"
"Ah Yong, stop talking, I beg you to shut up, is that possible?"
This time it was Mrs. Qi looking at Qi Yong with a face full of disappointment, her eyes red, as if struggling to hold back something.
"Qi Qi, don’t blame us for being ruthless, your father and I have discussed it, we also don’t want much from you, two hundred thousand a month, just sever ties with us, from now on whether we live or die, is nothing to do with you, leave this forty thousand for him to take care of us in our old age!"
"You think forty thousand will make me provide for your old age? What are you thinking? Dream on!" Qi Yong’s unthinking words shocked everyone present.
When Qi Yong realized what he had said, and was about to say something to salvage the situation, Qi Qi suddenly looked at him with a cold smile.
"I’ll give you five hundred thousand to sever all ties between us, including with our parents. I’ll take care of our parents next, having nothing to do with you. The lord and judge heard what he just said, ask yourself, how can I be at ease with such a person? Here, I ask the lord and judge to agree to sever our ties."
"Five million, five hundred thousand and you want to send me away, are you dreaming? As long as you give me five million, I’ll immediately sever all ties with them and stay far away from you, making sure to never appear in front of you for life!" The ugly face, the most venomous words, left Mr. Qi and Mrs. Qi petrified on the spot.
