Chapter 8 — Three Houses for My Cousin, I Took My Mother Abroad to Live a Worthy Life

I repeat verbatim.

“Are you talking about me?”

The eldest aunt's eyes wavered slightly.

“Dao Dao, I just posted it casually…”

“So today I will casually say a few words.”

I opened my phone. Find saved screenshots.

"Grandmother."

“The last two heart surgeries, you always thought that your eldest aunt paid for it, right?”

Grandma looked at me. Don't speak up.

“42,000 yuan and 58,000 yuan.”

“The total is exactly 100,000 yuan.”

“I pay.”

The whole room was as quiet as paper. Grandmother turned her head to look at the eldest aunt. The expression on the eldest aunt's face was extremely unique.

“I... I was also running around and taking care of things at that time...”

“Auntie runs back and forth.”

“The money is mine.”

“The reputation is yours.”

I passed the phone over. The screen displays bank transfer history.

“Payer: Tham Dao.”

“Remittance date, amount, recipient.”

“Hangzhou First People's Hospital.”

"If the eldest aunt feels that I falsified the statement, she can go directly to the hospital to check."

Mr. Hai picked up the phone and took a look.

“It is indeed a receipt from the hospital.”

Second Aunt tilted her head to look. Immediately took a cold breath. Grandma's lips trembled.

“Dao Dao... I..."

“For the past four years, every month I have transferred 5,000 yuan to your account.”

“A total of 240,000 yuan.”

“From the first month my company was established, it started to move.”

“At that time, the company was still losing capital.”

“I myself have to stay in a shared boarding house.”

“But there has never been a single month of interruption.”

I opened the next statement page.

“She accepted for four years.”

“But you never called me once.”

Grandmother's hands began to tremble. Chu Man sat next to him. Head bowed lower and lower. Don't dare say a word.

"Grandmother."

“What did you give me?”

My voice was very calm.

“When I was a child, every Tet holiday I went to my grandmother's house.”

“She let her cousin sit at the main table.”

“And I sat on the stool next to it.”

“Her lucky money is 1,000 yuan.”

“And mine is 200 yuan.”

“Every time my mother comes to take care of her.”

"My grandmother always criticized my mother's cooking, sometimes it was too salty, sometimes it was too bland."

“The year my mother got divorced.”

“She came to her.”

“She said it was because I brought it on myself.”

No one in the living room spoke.

“That day I had to sell vegetables to support myself and go to school.”

“When you start a business, you always sleep in the office.”

“Worked hard to build a company worth more than 100,000,000 yuan.”

“She doesn't know.”

“I don't care.”

“But it's time for my cousin to get married.”

“You gave all three houses to her.”

“Dao Dao...”

The eldest aunt quickly stood up. I looked straight at her.

“Auntie, sit down.”

“It's not your turn yet.”

The eldest aunt was stunned. But actually sit down.

“I paid for my grandmother's surgery, but my aunt admitted that she paid.”

“This time my grandmother was hospitalized, my aunt turned to me and asked for money.”

“I know why you don't want to pay for it yourself.”

I turned to the last page in the file. It's a photo of my eldest aunt's bank account balance.

“Because auntie has 1,200,000 yuan in her account.”

“It's money the eldest uncle received illegally as a commission from a project last year.”

The eldest uncle jumped up from his chair.

“You… how could you know…”

“The relationship circle in Hangzhou only has so many people.”

“I thought no one knew about receiving commissions?”

My uncle's face immediately turned red like a pig's liver.

"Sit down."

A voice rang out from the door enter. It's Luc Dien. His voice is not loud. But the eldest uncle looked at him. Then actually sit down. Neat suit. The temperament of a lawyer. Enough pressure to force others to stay silent. Grandma leaned on the sofa. Tears streamed down the old face.

“Dao Dao...”

“Grandma is sorry for me…”

“Grandma.”

I looked at her.

“Do you know what makes me feel the most cold?”

I stood up.

“Not three houses.”

“Three houses are worth 6,000,000 yuan.”

“And my company sold 120,000,000 yuan.”

“I'm not short of that money.”

The eyes of everyone in the room changed. 120,000,000 yuan. That number was like a thunderclap resounding in the old living room.

“What makes me cold is from beginning to end…”

“Not a single person asked me if I had a good life.”

I looked around the room.

“You guys called.”

“WeChat message.”

“Even wrote letters.”

“But never once was it because he cared about me.”

“It's all about money.”

“You don't need a grandchild.”

“No need for a niece.”

“No need for a cousin.”

“You just need an ATM.”

I picked up the glass of water on the tea table. Glass of water from start to finish without ever taking a sip.

“This ATM...”

“It has stopped working.”

I put down the glass of water. Turn around and walk away. Grandma's voice rang out from behind.

“Stop!”

“Grandma please!”

“Those three houses... grandmother divided them!”

I stopped walking. But don't turn back.

"Grandmother."

“I have never needed your house before.”

“What you need is…”
