Chapter 271 I'd rather not have this family of hers!
Mother Liu asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"
"The fried chicken shop was Zhen'er's idea, and she put so much effort into it. When did I ever say I was going to give it to you?"
Liu Ruyan looked surprised. "It was one thing for my mother to always ask me for things before, but as an elder, she shouldn't be so shameless as to ask her granddaughter for things, right?"
Upon hearing this, even the usually thick-skinned Liu's mother lost face. "Ruyan, what are you saying? Isn't this all Song family business?"
“This doesn’t belong to the Song family; it belongs to Zhen’er herself.”
Mother Liu added, "They are all children of the Song family, aren't they all children of the Song family?"
"The shops on that street were originally given to Yi'an by the Qin family as compensation. Yi'an has suffered so much, should I, as his mother, ask for his compensation back as well?"
I don't know what other mothers think, but I love my son dearly. This is his property, and there was absolutely no question of taking it from him. His siblings all agreed to it.
What Liu Ruyan said was perfectly reasonable; it was indeed the truth.
After receiving the land deed from the Qin family that day, she handed it over to Yi'an. However, Song Yi'an said that he was not good at doing business, and since they were all family, there was no need to divide things so meticulously. So he left everything to Song Ruozhen and Song Jingshen to manage.
Liu's mother felt that she had been humiliated by Liu Ruyan again. Did these words imply that she, as the mother, was not treating Liu Ruyan well?
Upon hearing this, Liu Feiyan was quite pleased and said, "What you said is true. The shop belongs to Yi'an, so it's not appropriate for us, as elders, to take it over."
"How about this, give us a copy of the fried chicken recipe, and we'll open our own shop?"
Although she lost a shop, as long as she mastered the recipe, she could quickly make a fortune. Hu Wan wouldn't be so unwilling to even tell her the recipe.
"Little sister, are you hard of hearing or just too shameless? I already said that this business was Zhen'er's idea!"
"As their aunt, you haven't offered Zhen'er and Yi'an any help all these years, and yet you shamelessly keep asking for things. You're supposed to be an official's wife, how can you have no shame at all?"
Liu Ruyan frowned, her face showing no sign of disgust, as if she had seen a leech; she practically had the word "disgust" written all over her face.
After hearing that the shop belonged to a younger generation, Hu Wan felt embarrassed to ask for more money. After all, Liu Ruyan was a daughter of the Liu family, and it was nothing for her to help her family.
It would be truly shameless to snatch something from a junior.
Seeing Liu Ruyan reprimand Liu Feiyan directly, she realized that Liu Ruyan had really changed since she came back this time. In the past, she would never have dared to treat Liu Feiyan like this in front of her mother.
"I...I just want a prescription..."
Liu Feiyan's face turned bright red; she was furious after being repeatedly rebuked.
"No way!" Liu Ruyan said coldly. "You'd better give up on that idea now!"
However, Liu's mother suddenly said, "What kind of temper are you throwing now that you've come back? Do you think that because Yan Zhou has returned to the court and Yi An has become successful, you no longer care about your mother's family?"
"You finally came back for a visit, and all you do is act like a bully at home. You need to think this through. Now that Song Lin is gone, if anything happens to you, we'll be the ones to rely on!"
“Your sister does have a bad temper, and she has taken some things from you over the years, but we are all family, so why be so petty?”
Is this how I taught you? If you teach these children like this, won't they all be ruined!
With a cold face, Liu's mother reprimanded her sternly, "You really should reflect on your actions. The older you get, the more you worry us!"
Hearing this harsh scolding, Song Ruozhen couldn't help but sigh that Liu's mother really had a firm grasp on the PUA tactics, no wonder Liu Ruyan hadn't dared to resist for so many years.
“Grandmother, you keep saying that our family still needs the Liu family to back us up. I don’t know if the Liu family helped us when I broke off the engagement, or if you came to our aid when my eldest and second brothers were bullied.”
My father has been missing ever since, and my mother was all alone and helpless. You did come twice with my aunt and uncle and took a lot of things back with you.
I saw no support from those who should have stood up for me, but they took just as much as they wanted.
Even a parasite that sucks blood should at least speak politely. Taking advantage of others and then cursing—isn't that just too disgusting?
Song Ruozhen's words were sharp, and her eyes were full of disgust. This Liu family was like a vampire, and her mother had to get out of this hellhole as soon as possible!
Mother Liu stared at Song Ruozhen in shock. "My God, how dare you speak to me like that? Are you trying to defy the heavens?"
"Ruozhen, how dare you speak to your elders like that!" Liu Feiyan used a trivial matter as a weapon. "No wonder the Lin family doesn't want you. Who would dare to take someone like you?"
"What's wrong with what my sister said? You elders are so shameless, and we younger generation are supposed to listen to you?"
Song Zhiyu stood in front of his younger sister and said righteously, "No wonder the Sun family raises only good-for-nothings. Anyone with a bit of ambition gets their things stolen by you. Who would dare to be ambitious?"
"Your aunt is just a big shot who relies on her age. Apart from my mother being kind-hearted and tolerating you all these years, you can't get any good out of the outside world!"
Let me give you a piece of advice: A person should at least have some self-respect. How old are you? Calling for your mother for every little thing? You're probably still breastfeeding!
The Song siblings spoke with increasingly venomous words, which nearly made Liu Feiyan and her mother faint with anger.
Hu Wan fell silent at this moment. She now understood that the Song family had come here today to overturn the table.
She's completely giving up and has no intention of showing any respect, so it's best if she doesn't get involved.
"Ruyan, why don't you teach them a lesson! If they treat me like this now, they'll dare to treat you like this in the future!" Mother Liu said angrily.
Liu Ruyan remained unmoved. Instead, she took Song Ruozhen's hand and said with a smile, "They all did it for my own good, so how could I blame them?"
Mother, scold me if you want, but I won't be able to contribute a single penny from now on.
You all know how much I've given to Feiyan and the Liu family over the years. If you want to make a big fuss, then do as you please. I believe there are always more reasonable people in this world.
Even if I get a bad reputation, I don't care. It's better than being constantly exploited and scolded!
"let's go!"
Liu Ruyan turned to leave, but behind her came her mother's angry voice: "If you dare to leave the Liu family today, I will disown you as my daughter! You will have no family to rely on from now on!"
"Then that's it! I don't care!"
Liu Ruyan turned her gaze and met her mother's vicious eyes, but felt a sense of relief.
Leaving the Liu family is the only way to be reborn!
