Chapter 918: Chapter 918: Only with Compassion Comes Filial Piety

Closing her eyes to regain her composure, Luo Qiao continued, "Are you all not aware of how resolute she was when she betrayed my father and signed that agreement?

After her second marriage, how did she treat us? Do we really have to list out each and every incident?

Just because she gave us life, does it mean she can demand endlessly? If uncle keeps using his status as an elder to pressure us, always only considering his sister’s wellbeing and ignoring our feelings, then we can do without this kind of kinship."

Luo Siyan stepped forward and patted his brother’s shoulder, "Uncle, since you’re so set on helping her, you might as well take care of everything by yourself. There’s no need to call us for a discussion. Maybe from your perspective, you think we are unfilial, but there’s a saying, ’with a benevolent mother comes filial children.’ There must be benevolence before filial piety can exist.

You can’t demand from us endlessly just because of the grace of life. To put it bluntly, none of us five siblings were raised by her. The one she truly raised is Zhao Jianing, her darling daughter held in the palm of her hand. So please, don’t use filial piety to pressure us casually. She doesn’t deserve it."

Ning Hongda placed his last hope on Luo Qiao and then turned towards her, "Qiaoqiao, what about you? Do you feel the same as they do?"

Luo Qiao said indifferently, "Every effect has its cause. Besides giving me life, she has given me nothing else. Even after we recognized each other later on, you all know too well how she treated me. We are simply incompatible."

After a pause, she continued, "My brothers’ stance is my stance. If we compromise this time, what about the next, and the time after that? You’ll just keep repeating this tactic. You might not get tired of it, but we are already tired.

Because of your principle of going back on your word, we neither praise nor can we trust anymore. Although we’re the younger generation, we too are human beings with independent emotions and flesh and blood. Thus, I’m siding with my brothers on this matter."

Ning Hongda didn’t expect his nephews and niece to speak of him so poorly, his expression turned ugly, and he scoffed, "After all this talk, don’t you just mean you don’t want to pay for your mother’s medical expenses? I have seen through you all, the richer you are, the stingier you get, yet you make it sound so righteous."

Luo Xuyuan heard this and replied indifferently, "Since uncle has already said as much, there’s no need for us to continue here. We will take our leave now."

The others also stood up, unable to stay any longer.

Zhang Yuehua stood up, "I’ll see you out."

Then she turned to Ning Hongda, who was glaring angrily at his nephews and nieces, and said, "Are you satisfied now? Is this what you wanted?"

At that moment, Ning Hongbo, the second uncle, came over, "Do you really hate her that much?"

Luo Qiao turned around, "I’m not sure about my brothers, but as for me, without love, where can hatred come from? She and I are simply strangers."

Having said this, she turned and walked outside. But Luo Xuyuan behind her spoke, "The moment she abandoned us, we were destined to be just passersby. We repaid her with the life she gave us the moment she gave up on us."

Luo Siyan didn’t want to say anything, but he couldn’t help feeling stifled without saying something, "Siyuan and I have lived with her since junior high, but we have always been the scapegoats for Zhao Jianing, always the ones summoned and ordered around to serve as a contrast.

I don’t have much memory before the age of five, but after five, all my memories are filled with love from my grandparents, our childhood was quite happy because of their love.

But since starting junior high, to be honest, if it weren’t for my grandparents insisting that we move back to nurture a relationship, I wouldn’t have wanted to return to that home.

Because whenever Zhao Jianing was unhappy, we all suffered the consequences. Being scolded was the lesser of punishments; being hit, made to stand as punishment, or denied meals were common occurrences. Can you understand the harm she caused us?"

The room fell silent, and Luo Siyan turned and walked out of the house, heading for the main door.

Feng Caiqin, the second uncle’s wife, let out a breath, "It’s all karma, truly retribution. To have raised five children, yet giving her love to someone unrelated."

Ning Hongbo felt extremely distressed, "My little sister really went too far, it really is karma."
