Because you're shameless

We entered the main room.

Zhao Limin couldn't hold back any longer and excitedly said, "Mom, do you remember when our school launched the welfare housing policy a while ago? The quota was released today, and Baozhu and I got one of the quotas!"

Chen Baozhu also said, "There are many teachers in the school, and Limin and I have less teaching experience, so this kind of good thing should not have come to us."

"It was the school leaders who recognized our outstanding work, the excellent lesson plans we compiled for the school, and the two outstanding graduating classes that led to the special arrangement of granting us these positions."

"Houses were already scarce, and in the past two years, with the development of individual businesses, many people from the countryside have come to the city to work, making houses even more scarce. Now, apartments in the city are selling for more than 200 yuan per square meter."

"The subsidized housing offered by our school is a great deal; an 80-square-meter apartment costs only a little over 3,000 yuan."

Zhang Guiying clenched her fist.

Looking at the eldest couple who kept chattering away, I could hardly contain my hatred.

The eldest son and his wife clearly saw the tin shack was on fire, but they were afraid she wouldn't survive the burns. Only when they were sure she wouldn't live did they pretend to call for help to put out the fire.

What's the difference between this and premeditated murder?

Zhang Guiying grew angrier the more she thought about it, and slammed her hand on the table, interrupting Zhao Limin's incessant rant. "Your father almost died today!"

"what?"

"The blast furnace your father was in charge of at the steel plant exploded, causing injuries and deaths to several workers. If I hadn't gone to the steel plant to see your father at the time, you would be without a father now."

Zhao Limin was startled and patted his chest, saying, "Mom, don't speak so suddenly! You scared me to death! Dad's sitting right here, isn't he? Dad, are you alright?"

Seeing Zhao Binghe nod, he casually said, "Your job is a bit dangerous. You must be careful when you go to work in the future."

After that, we got back to the main topic.

"Mom, there are more than ten people in our family, and we're living in six rooms, which is a bit cramped. Baozhu and I are thinking that we should take this opportunity to choose a three-bedroom house and move out with the kids. The rooms we can make room for our fourth son's wedding."

"The fourth brother has been dating for over a year, and it's not right for him to keep sharing a room with the fifth brother. Besides, the fifth brother is getting older, and he might get married sometime soon, so he can't keep sharing a room with the fourth brother."

"Baozhu and I discussed it and decided to buy the house. We're a little short on funds, so could you, Mom and Dad, help us out a bit?"

He looked at the elderly couple with longing eyes as he spoke.

Zhao Binghe asked instinctively, "How much more are you short?"

"two thousand!"

Even Zhao Binghe, with his good temper, got annoyed. "A house worth three thousand is two thousand short, and you call that 'a little short'?"

Zhao Limin looked a little embarrassed. "After I started working, I had a lot of social engagements. I spent a lot of money bribing people to get promoted to dean of students. Baozhu and I also have to raise our child. We haven't saved much money over the years."

Dad's opinion is not important.

The key is still Zhang Guiying.

Zhao Limin turned to Zhang Guiying, "Mom, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, you must support me..."

"Snapped!"

Enough is enough; there's no need to endure any longer.

Zhang Guiying slapped him hard across the face. She had originally planned to pick a fight with these ungrateful bastards later that night, but before nightfall, Zhao Limin had already come to her like a jerk.

Zhang Guiying decisively made an example of him!

Not satisfied with just a slap, Zhang Guiying kicked him, yelling, "I support you! I support your mother! You lying little beast! You and your husband have worked for years and haven't contributed a single penny to the household expenses, and now you're telling me you have no money?"

"Your dad almost died today, and you little bastard didn't even say a word of concern, all you can do is ask for money!"

"You ungrateful wretch, always trying to suck your parents' blood. What do we, as your parents, owe you? Get out! Take your wife and kids and get out of here. I never want to see you again!"

Zhao Limin was stunned by the beating.

Zhao Limin only came to his senses when he felt a burning pain on his face.

As the first college student in his village, Zhao Limin has always been the "model child" that everyone admires, and he is always the object of praise wherever he goes.

His parents were also proud of him.

This was the first time he had ever been slapped by his mother.

Turning his head, Zhao Limin saw Zhang Xia gloating outside. He was filled with shame and anger, his face turning bright red. "Mom, what are you doing? Are you crazy?!"

Zhang Guiying shoved Zhao Limin and Chen Baozhu out of the house, yelling, "Get out! I don't have a heartless son like you!"

Zhang Xia's eyes darted around.

I secretly ran to the gate and opened the courtyard gate.

The sounds of arguing carried far away immediately.

These days, entertainment is scarce, so when people hear arguing, neighbors come out to join in the fun.

Chen Baozhu, supporting Zhao Limin, argued with Zhang Guiying in embarrassment and anger, "Mom, are you on drugs today? Why are you talking so rudely!"

"I ate a bomb, want to try some saltiness?"

"..."

Chen Baozhu said angrily, "There are welfare housing quotas in the school. Limin and I don't have enough money. If we don't ask you for money, who else can we ask? As parents, shouldn't you lend a hand when your children are in trouble?"

"If Limin and I buy a house, we can move out, and the vacated house can be used for our fourth and fifth children's weddings. Aren't we doing this for the good of the family? If you don't support us, fine, but why did you have to hit us!"

Zhang Guiying was spitting as she spoke, "On what grounds? On ... You shameless people, asking me for 2,000 yuan for a 3,000 yuan house! On what grounds? You've been married for years, eating and living at home for free without contributing a single penny."

"You two are so heartless! You've worked for so many years and haven't bought a single needle or thread for the house!"

What?

Zhao Limin has worked for so many years and has never spent a single penny on his family.

The neighbors were instantly in an uproar.

Zhao Limin became the dean of studies at a key municipal high school at a young age, and he always appeared as a gentle and polite cultured person.

Such a promising child still lives in the village. When the villagers ask, Zhao Limin says he's worried about his parents. Everyone in the neighborhood envies Zhang Guiying for having such a promising and filial son.

But now.

Zhang Guiying said that Zhao Limin has been living at home for free all these years.

The preconceived notions were overturned.

The neighbors were all shocked.

Zhao Limin was going crazy. What good would it do his mother to expose his face in public?

Is this how they treat him just because he didn't care about his father?

Isn't his dad living a perfectly normal life?

Zhao Limin was trembling with anger. "Mom, stop talking!"

"Now you know it's shameful? Where were you before? You never know how to get a good deal. You spent the most money when you got married. Now you have a wife, kids, and a decent job, and you're still not satisfied. You're still asking your family for money to buy a house."

"You four brothers, two of whom aren't married yet. Don't they need money for their weddings? As the eldest, instead of helping your younger siblings get married and start their own families, you're trying to take away what little resources the family has left. Have you lost your conscience?!"

Zhang Guiying is incredibly strong.

He ran to Zhao Limin's door, kicked it open, rushed into the room, and frantically threw Zhao Limin and Chen Baozhu's belongings out.

"Get out! Take your wife and get out of this house. From now on, I'll pretend you're not my son!"
