古代闺秀被强高H

Given that a rich mer married that woman, Ning Yu was sure that Mother Shen had woven quite a pitiful story to make herself look alone and heartbroken. When she was looking for a husband in the past, she said the same thing to his father and made him believe that she would take care of him.

Tears, sobbing and throwing a tantrum as long as she could get what she wanted, Mother Shen could do anything!

Seeing that Shi Xi was still hesitating, Ning Yu sneered and then said, " You are not a rich master either, what are you doing handing your money to someone who doesn\'t need it? Do you think that if you don\'t hand your money she will starve? If she wants you to hand over your money then you need to tell her that she needs to take care of your family as well!"

" Thats right," Shen Li also agreed.

Their family had a lot of money but why should they hand it over to someone for no reason? If Mother Shen took Shi Xi\'s salary, they could not watch Shi Xi and his kids starving right? Then doesn\'t that mean that they would be making a loss as well?

Yu Dong did not say much, she simply asked Shi Xi to hand over the salary that he had saved to Shen Li and asked Shi Xi to tell Mother Shen that they had stopped his salary. In the beginning, they acted as Shen Li was not favoured so how could his daddies be favoured? They were not in favour either and because they were not in favour, they had to suffer, right?

So the next day when Mother Shen came to look for Shi Xi and asked him to bring the money, the latter refused and said, " I can\'t hand you any more salary. Yu Dong found out that I was handing the money to you and she revoked my salary. Now I am struggling as well, wife if you have decent pay then can you take me and the kids away? I am afraid that we will be starved now.

Back then we had to sell ourselves to Yu Dong because the kids were kidnapped and I had no way to bring them back but now that you have paid——"

" STOP!" Mother Shen immediately held up her hands and then stopped Shi Xi from speaking any further. She had married the rich mer under the pretext that she lost her kids, husbands and family in the process while she was trying to save her life from the flood, how could she take three kids and a mer back?

She glared at Shi Xi and sneered coldly, " You were the one who sold yourself and the kids as well, why does it matter to me if you are starving or dying? Tell Yu Dong to give you food, why are you crying in front of me? Do I look rich to you?!"

Though Shi Xi did not have any expectations from Mother Shen, his heart still hurt when he heard how careless and selfish Mother Shen was being.

Thus he deliberately said, " Then what about the money that I gave you? I saved that money because I wanted to redeem myself and the kids. Now because of you, I am in trouble! My salary is gone and I have to work as an ox and cow for Yu Dong! What will the kids eat? If you don\'t want to redeem me fine!

But at least hand me the money back!"

" You… I am your wife! What\'s wrong with me taking your money!!?" Mother Shen panicked when she heard Shi Xi talking about money. She had already spent that money and drank liquor from that money, from where would she bring the money back?

She glared at Shi Xi and then turned around before hurrying away. She was worried that if she was another second late, then Shi Xi would ask for money again.

Shi Xi watched Mother Shen leave and sneered coldly before turning to walk back to the fields.

…..

Shen Hanxing was waiting for her mother outside the village when she saw Mother Shen running out of the village angrily. She could not help but ask with a frown, " What happened? Did he not give you money?"

Mother Shen said angrily, " That Yu Dong found out that I was taking Shi Xi\'s money and stopped his daily wages. She said that she did not have enough money to raise two families."

" What does she mean by that? How much money is she even handing Shi Xi? Just five hundred copper coins! How stingy. Just how much money does it take to raise a few kids and a mer? She is actually holding back money because of a few cents," the more she thought about it the more Mother Shen got angry.

" She earns so much money and she is acting this petty! What\'s so good about her money anyway…? I am her mother-in-law, she has to be filial to me even if she does not want to and that Shen Li! He is living in that house because I sold him there. If not for me he would still be lying in some alley somewhere in the town and begging for food. Now that his wife has money, he is treating us like this!"
