The Prime Minister Seduced Me to have Babies!-Chapter 144: Turning the Tables

Li Shi started crying with a sobbing sound.

Gu Mei took the opportunity to say, "Yun Jiao’s wish is my wish too."

"I also won’t handle the matter of supporting the elderly!"

Li Xi was extremely angry, pointing at Gu Mei, "Yun Jiao supported her younger brother, so it’s understandable if she doesn’t contribute to elder support. But you can’t get away with it; you have to provide the money."

"And don’t think I don’t know, it was you who encouraged your mother to sell the land. You even got half of the money from selling it. Since you took the family’s money, you should support your mother, two taels of silver a year, not a penny less."

Gu Mei snorted, "I don’t have any money, not even two coins, let alone two taels."

Second Uncle Li Zhu stood up impatiently, "Why say so much to her."

"If she dares not to give the money, just sue her in the government office!"

"Don’t sue for anything else, just say she’s incredibly audacious, selling family land for a dowry, leaving the elderly mother and young brother without support."

Gu Yunjiao watched Gu Mei coldly, and what Second Uncle said was not wrong at all.

Regarding the selling of land, Gu Mei was already guilty inside, but she still stubbornly said, "Do whatever you want, I have no money anyway."

The eldest uncle also stood up, "Fine, I can’t be bothered to argue with you, just wait for the government office to come and arrest you."

He tugged at Li Shi, "Let’s go, we’re heading to the county town."

Seeing that they were actually serious, Gu Mei panicked inside. If they really sued her, would she be ordered to return the twenty-five taels of silver?

Her eyes rolled as she covered her face with a handkerchief and started crying.

"Wuwuwuwu... Why is my life so hard?"

"Why do I have such a mother?"

She uncovered the handkerchief and pointed at Li Shi, "Other mothers plan for their children, you only think of yourself!"

"Thinking of retirement at only thirty-something, are your hands or feet broken? Or are you bedridden?"

Li Shi was pointed directly in the face by Gu Mei and started to sob too.

Li Xi shouted furiously, "Gu Mei, how can you talk to your mother like this? Do you have no respect at all?"

Gu Mei flung her handkerchief, "Stop pretending to be a elder in front of me!"

"If the Li Family really cared about her, just take her back and support her!"

"Why come to the Gu Family and boss us around?"

Li Xi was furious, "Good for you, Gu Mei, I never realized you were such a person! You don’t even respect your elders!"

Gu Mei chuckled, "I certainly am not a good person."

"But I’m not as unreasonable and oblivious to right and wrong as you Li family people."

"Forcing Yun Jiao and me, two teenage girls, to support someone who is only thirty, perfectly capable and fit, is that something a proper uncle would do? Shouldn’t you be advising your sister to support the family?"

"It’s because you’ve spoiled her like this that she’s become so selfish, thinking only of herself!"

Li Shi cried even harder, she didn’t realize that this was how she appeared in her daughter’s eyes.

The eldest and second uncles were embarrassed under Gu Mei’s criticism, and the eldest uncle could only scold her angrily, "So young, yet so sharp-tongued!"

Gu Mei didn’t bother to argue further with them, she walked over to Li Shi, raising her voice, "Mother, even if I gave you two taels a year, how would you live?"

"You have no strength to fetch water, you can’t cook, how can you live alone in this family?"

In a tone as if she was doing her a favor, she said, "I think you’d be better off going back to your own family."

"See, both uncles cherish you, and your grandparents have always loved you the most."

"Back at your maiden family, you have two aunts-in-law, and nieces and nephews, you wouldn’t have to do anything, just wait for meals ready-made, isn’t that right?"
