Chapter 634: Chapter 635 Sister Like Mother 52_1

"You say there’s none, so there isn’t any?" Huang Lina was not about to give Zhao Mei a chance to explain.

She waved over Huang Xin, standing by the doorway of Huang Man’s room, enjoying the drama; he was the only one who would help.

"Brother, did mom say these things or not?" Huang Lina looked at him with a smile.

Huang Xin’s heart kept sinking, knowing full well that playing it off with a laugh and resolving the matter was impossible.

As for whose side to take, it was obvious, "Mom, what’s this about? You’ve been wronging Li Na just now."

"Now you’re doing it again; if you hadn’t said you wouldn’t give her money for school,"

"And for living expenses, Li Na wouldn’t be thinking about getting a job."

"With her lazy nature, even if she goes down south to work, what could she possibly do?"

"It just so happens I know someone who opened a nightclub in the city, and I thought it was a decent option."

Huang Xin sighed softly, "We’re still so young, who doesn’t want to go to school?"

Huang Lina looked at Huang Xin and couldn’t contain her glee, thinking about the old saying that you depend on your sons in your old age.

Now she wanted to let her see that the son she was so looking forward to turned out to be just like this towards her; she didn’t know how heartbroken Huang Man would be.

Zhao Mei knew what to expect when Huang Lina called out Huang Xin, and though slightly sad, she wasn’t too upset.

Huang Man hadn’t shown her face during the whole ordeal, as the matter was a power struggle between the three of them.

Initially, they had banded together to deal with the original owner, pulling the wool over her eyes. Now the idea of the three of them joining forces again was out of the question.

"Am I wrong?" Since the two had teamed up, Zhao Mei stopped denying, "With both of your academic performances, what kind of school can you attend?"

"Even if I paid the tuition, you wouldn’t study seriously."

"I didn’t want to say it, after all, you’ve grown up and have your pride, but now I know, I can’t just cover up for the sake of it."

"Have you ever cut class while at school?"

"Did you ever take homework seriously?"

"If it weren’t for the thought that you should at least get a middle school diploma, I really wouldn’t want to get angry over your grades."

"Have you forgotten? During the winter break, you said you didn’t want to study, didn’t want to waste time, and wanted to work instead."

"It was me who persuaded you, telling you about the importance of a diploma; otherwise, would you have finished middle school?"

"If only you could have been admitted to a proper school, I wouldn’t mind paying. But look at your grades and your attitude towards learning."

"Sending you to school would truly be a waste of money." Zhao Mei stood her ground, even against two.

Zhao Mei even spilled the beans about Huang Lina and a boy sneaking to a corner of the schoolyard.

Huang Man was happily munching on popcorn, knowing they would definitely fall out, but she hadn’t expected the fallout to be this spectacular.

In the previous life, this had not happened—of course, the original owner was strict, and even if they had a restless heart, she wouldn’t give them the slightest opportunity.

Now with no one to restrain them, how could Huang Lina not get a taste of sweet school romance?

It’s just that the outcome wasn’t great, as Zhao Mei exposed Huang Lina in front of everyone, tearing away her veil of shame.

Looking at Huang Lina, you could clearly see that her complexion wasn’t good; she was likely to explode.

Just as expected, Huang Lina trembled with anger, really wanting to rush over and give Zhao Mei a piece of her mind.

Seeing her expression, Huang Xin worried she might actually charge over and immediately wrapped his arms around her.

"Li Na, Li Na, you must stay calm, you have to stay calm,"

"You can’t cause any trouble." If it were any other time, it would be none of his concern.

But the situation was different now. If this guy ended up hurting Zhao Mei, it wouldn’t be just medical expenses, but it would also delay her from making money.

Huang Xin held her and whispered in her ear about the many consequences of injuring Zhao Mei.

Huang Lina gradually calmed down. She admitted that Huang Xin was right. "Zhao Mei, when you get old, don’t expect me to take care of you."

"You were the one who said, ’A married daughter is like spilled water’, and you wouldn’t rely on your daughter."

"I will remember this well, and you should too,"

"I will go to the nightclub for an interview tomorrow. If I get the job, I will work there and never come back."

"Whether I’m decked in gold and silver or begging in the future, it’s my business, and I won’t come to you."

"Zhao Mei, whether you have a blissful twilight years or a life of poverty and hardship, it’s all on you."

"Also, don’t talk about supporting me. Ever since you married my dad, you’ve done nothing. You’re the biggest burden to the Huang family."

"If it weren’t for your constant refusal to do housework or earn money, my dad could have made a fortune."

"It was because of you, this jinx, that my dad had an accident and died."

"While he was alive, you were leeching off him, and after he passed away, you squandered his compensation with gusto."

"My sister didn’t get a single cent, and when you were sick, she even had to earn money to buy you food."

"I only used a little bit of the money, and you’re so reluctant to let it go."

"Clearly, the compensation money should be shared by all three of us." Huang Lina had a friend whose father knew some law, and she had asked him about it at the time.

"I don’t want my share anymore. Just keep it for your old age, but don’t ever show up in front of me again."

"And don’t talk about driving me out. This house belongs to the Huang family, it’s my dad’s house."

Huang Lina stormed back to her room. Zhao Mei swayed a few times, muttering, "Misfortune at the doorstep."

"How could I have given birth to such a daughter."

Huang Man stood by the window, watching Zhao Mei wailing, sitting on the ground, twisting and turning as if the heavens had been cruel to her. Truly pity-inspiring, if only she’d gone into acting, she could at least earn some money.

Huang Man continued to watch for a while, then resumed her chores. The situation had reached a point where everyone knew that Huang Lina was working at the nightclub for a reason.

She was forced into it by Zhao Mei, who was always unwilling to spend money and relied on Huang Lina to contribute. If not for that, the girl wouldn’t have gone out to work and earn money.

How things would evolve from here on, Huang Man had no idea. It was completely different from the original situation, and no matter how it was spun, it had nothing to do with her anymore.

The thought that such a huge trouble was now completely unrelated to her made Huang Man’s mood soar with joy.

With such a good mood, the introduction for her new book, which she thought would take more time, was written out smoothly.

"Such a silky smooth beginning." Huang Man was very satisfied with the opening.

"I will mail out the introduction and conclusion together tomorrow." There was no reason not to continue the good cooperation with the current publisher.

Huang Man hummed a tune contentedly, envisioning the substantial income that would soon be credited to her account.

Now, every credit to her account was like an extra brick added to her dream of buying a house in Capital City.
