CHAPTER 779: CHAPTER 754 PROMISE

Qin Dayu clenched her teeth; it was really unexpected for Qin Dazhuang to say such things.

She thought that given Qin Dazhuang’s past indifferent attitude towards family, he would definitely want to settle things clearly with them, so she had mentally prepared herself for when her daughter finished the surgery, she and her husband would work hard to pay back the money.

Who would have thought that Qin Dazhuang could say such things, making her feel ashamed, feeling even inferior to her brother, despite his gambling and reckless behavior.

But when facing major issues, he truly appeared like a towering man.

"No way! Even if you have money, it’s money you earned through hard work, it’s not like it was blown by the wind. Although I’m nominally your sister, over these years I haven’t fulfilled sister-like responsibilities, I haven’t taken care of you for even a day.

Even if there’s a debt of gratitude, it’s owed to mom and dad, not to me. I definitely have to repay this money.

Just give me some time, brother; neither your brother-in-law nor I are capable people. At most we’re just ordinary workers, and your brother-in-law’s factory isn’t doing well, and I’m afraid it’ll take us many years to slowly repay you."

Qin Dayu’s words gave Qin Dazhuang some comfort.

Since childhood, his sister wasn’t close to him, and with all the things that happened over the years, he was very dissatisfied with her.

Though he was an honest person and didn’t say much, the resentment in his heart accumulated over the years, deeper and deeper.

Eventually, when he knocked his sister unconscious and took the money, the resentment fully exploded.

Even now, he didn’t plan to cover it up.

But hearing his sister saying these words, he felt at least Qin Dayu had dignity and character.

When Mother Qin heard her daughter say these things, she felt resentful toward her foolish daughter!

Qin Dazhuang said he didn’t want it, yet she insisted on repaying the money.

Isn’t this intentionally making herself unhappy? With three kids at home and her son-in-law being useless, if they really repay over ten thousand yuan, who knows when they’ll manage to pay it off.

She hurriedly spoke up.

"Why are you being formal with your brother? If he says you don’t have to repay, then you don’t. You just spare yourself the trouble and listen to your brother."

Qin Dazhuang smiled, this was indeed Mother Qin, old habits die hard.

"That’s right, big sister, listen to me!"

Qin Dazhuang took them back home.

Traveling to and from big sister’s house almost takes a whole day. It wasn’t easy for them to come over, and since he moved it wasn’t easy to find him either. Since they came, he had to settle them in for the night.

Thankfully, he bought a house, otherwise, he would have had to send them to a guesthouse.

Mother Qin was a bit surprised to see her son’s little courtyard.

She knew that when she left, all the houses had been sold.

Just to avoid future troubles, after all, Qin Dazhuang cared about nothing but gambling at that time.

Mother Qin was genuinely afraid she might die at the hands of this adoptive son, so when she left, she did so resolutely, leaving no room for hesitation.

Though the yard was small, it was very tidy, with five rooms, including three main rooms, two side rooms, a toilet, and a kitchen, all neatly arranged.

"Seeing this courtyard, really reminds me of our old home. Dazhuang, don’t blame mom, the time you wanted to put your big sister to death made mom scared."

Mother Qin finally spoke the words, barely counting as an apology.

"Mom, don’t say anymore, at that time I truly didn’t resemble a human being. Worse than a beast, not only did I hurt you, but also knocked big sister unconscious and took the money. Selling the house and leaving with big sister was the right choice, otherwise, if you stayed with me, there’s no telling what I might have done."

To be honest, he was somewhat resentful at first, but now there’s nothing to resent.

Thinking from another perspective, he might have done the same as mom.

At that time, what else could be done, the only option was self-preservation.

Reasoning with a gambler, trying to save one, probably only kind-hearted people like his in-laws would do that.

After staying one night, the next day, Qin Dazhuang left 200 yuan in his sister’s hand, asking them to figure out meals for themselves today.

Then he went to the shop.

He had told his sister and brother-in-law that they could stay one more day, as he would go to the shop to gather some money, and he would bring the money back to them by evening.

The couple was anxious about their daughter’s surgery, planning to return early the next morning after getting the money.

Qin Dazhuang left.

The house now had only the three of them.

Li Kaoshan went out to stroll the street, finally visiting Capital City; anyway, this is the grand Capital.

This is the nation’s capital, if he didn’t take a proper look around, it wouldn’t be right. Previously, visiting the mother-in-law’s house, there was no time to stroll around.

Since marrying his wife and returning home, he hadn’t visited Capital City again, let alone had time to wander around here, today he was finally able to enjoy.

Mother Qin went out turning around among neighborhood residents, returned home then mysteriously pulled her daughter into a room.

Qin Dayu was about to make pancakes with an apron still on, but mother pulled her into the room.

"Mom, what’s wrong?"

"Dayu, I just went out and learned from neighbors that your brother bought this house. Now your brother is a wealthy man, I raised him this big, so now let him be filial to me more in the future.

Still like before, I will supplement you with money. This way, you and Kaoshan can live well."

The old lady thought about it, daughter now living a less prosperous life and daughter insisted on only asking for 10,000, the rest money she and son-in-law had to borrow everywhere, ending up with debts.

She was so anxious that she couldn’t sleep last night, but today she thought of a trick.

"Mom, just calm down, brother’s life isn’t easy now. You know his wife took their two daughters and divorced. Brother now is alone, though financially stable, earning money isn’t easy.

Don’t stir up trouble. If you want to live with brother, I agree, after all, living with us means hard life. But don’t behave like before, brother is different now.

Can you stop wearing down the last bit of affection brother has towards us?"

Qin Dayu didn’t agree at all.

Although mom favored her, looking back on all the things done over the years.

She also felt deeply guilty.

No matter what, anyone with a conscience wouldn’t agree with mom’s ways.

Brother’s whole family is fragmented now, living alone, it’s tough.

Mom doesn’t help brother a bit but wants to take money from him to support herself.

How does she have the face to take this money?
