Now, unable to get by on her own, she suddenly rembers the son she abandoned from a young age. To be honest, if he were the eldest of the Luo Family, he would never forgive the heartless woman who threw him away.
Even if she were his birth mother, no matter how destitute or miserable she was now, he would not forgive her, nor would he let her take any advantage of him.
Let alone pay money to help so distantly related half brothers marry their wives.
That’s what ng Xingping was thinking; it showed that he knew everything. But in the end, he wasn’t a Luo—he wasn’t that elder brother of the Luo Family... He was ng Xingping, the seed of the ng Family, about to take advantage of the Luo Family elder brother, and he was part of that.
Thus, ng Xingping wouldn’t pretend to be soone who sees things clearly, after all, he would be the beneficiary. Why would he bite the hand that fed him and feel sympathy for a brother who only shared half his blood?
He wouldn’t!
Yes, ng Xinping knew he wouldn’t sympathize with the elder brother of the Luo Family. He needed him to dig into his pockets, to help him marry a wife to warm his bed, to bear him two ’Big Fatty’ boys!
So, guilt? There was none at all.
The reason why ng Xingping and his brothers knew about the shady deed their mother committed when she was young ca from Wang Guilan herself. She frequently brought up the money she had taken from her ex-husband’s family in front of the n in her house, saying if it hadn’t been for that, they would have been blown away by the Northwest winds a long ti ago.
Once or twice didn’t matter, but every ti Wang Guilan quarreled with the n at ho, she never failed to ntion her past actions, intent on making sure they knew how much she had sacrificed for the family.
As a result, from a young age, ng Xingping and his brothers were incessantly reminded and thus fully aware of just how coldhearted their old mother could be!
"Do you think you need to teach ?"
Wang Guilan rolled her eyes and then glanced out the window like a thief, lowering her voice to say, "Before everything is settled, don’t you go blabbing about this outside, even to your second brother—that... Wait until we’re on our way to North City to tell him what to do, to keep it from the whole family. You never know who can’t keep a secret and might let things slip. Especially your sister-in-law, she’s quite the scher!"
She hadn’t been ho for a few days and had already captured the heart of the eldest, turning him against his own mother, constantly stirring up trouble about splitting the family.
Pah! Dream on!
The sons she had raised, the ones she spent money on to marry off, instead of thinking about helping their brothers get married, only dreamt of leading their own happy little lives. Well, they could wait, wait until the day she died, then they could have what they wanted!
ng Xingping nodded, also whispering, "Mother, what excuse shall we use to go to North City tomorrow?"
"Just say I’m not feeling well, and you and your second brother are accompanying to the big hospital in the city," Wang Guifang casually concocted an excuse. Hearing this, ng Xingping imdiately laughed ’heh heh’ and said, "Mother always has many ideas."
"Stop with the flattery!"
Wang Guilan was very disdainful of her foolish son. After so thought, she said, "If we really find that worthless son, I plan to stay at his place and not co back. When the ti cos, I’ll make him give you and your second brother more money, ask him for more coupons and certificates, and then you can go back to the village..."
Before she could finish, ng Xingping interrupted his mother, "No! Mother can’t abandon us. If you stay with the eldest brother of the Luo Family, who will be the matchmaker for and second brother, and Fourth Brother? Mother, you are the Sea-calming needle of our house—we can’t be without you!"
