Chapter 399

"I let you betray me! Betray me!" He Wei gave He Cheng a beating in front of the entire family.

He Cheng didn't dare to fight back. After all, if he did, the one beating him wouldn't be He Wei.

He Wei cried as she hit him, venting all her frustrations and despair on He Cheng, until she was too tired and sat on the floor, crying.

"He Cheng, are you okay?" Xu Niandi quickly came over to help her husband up.

Seeing his swollen face, she felt a bit resentful. They were siblings after all, why was she so harsh?

He Cheng did what he did because He Wei, his younger sister, started the trouble first, right?

He just wanted to retaliate against her for her own good.

He Wei was too harsh.

"I'm fine, don't be afraid," He Cheng endured the pain and comforted his wife.

He looked at He Wei, who was sitting on the floor crying and not saying anything.

After He Wei cried enough, she calmed down. "You used this matter to ask Ji Feng for money and didn't consider me as your sister.

Today, I beat you up and didn't consider you as my brother. We're even now."

"We're even now?" He Zhifei was quite surprised. He Wei's temper didn't seem like one that would easily forgive others.

She wouldn’t hesitate to fight back even if she wasn’t entirely in the right.

"I also had a big argument with Second Sister-in-Law before. I was in the wrong first." He Wei had already faced reality.

He Cheng hadn't expected He Wei to actually admit her mistake.

"Alright, your sister said it's over, so I'll spare you this time. Go back," He Zhifei's attitude was still cold.

Upon hearing this, He Cheng quickly took his wife back to their room.

Watching his son walk away, He Zhifei sighed, his expression serious. "He Cheng."

He Cheng immediately froze.

He didn't turn around, and He Zhifei continued, "Remember this and keep it in your heart. No matter when, your brothers and your sister are your family.

Don't play your little games with them.

If it happens again..."

"Dad, I won't dare, I really won't dare again." He Cheng quickly assured him.

If it happened again, Dad definitely wouldn't forgive him.

He slipped into the room, and Xu Niandi, feeling sorry for him, poured him some water. "Look at you, you're scared out of your wits. Does your face hurt? I told you before not to make money off He Wei's matters.

This time, we’ve learned our lesson. Dad and He Wei didn't ask for the money back.

We can't do this again in the future.

I've been uneasy about this matter for a while now."

Xu Niandi wanted money to help support her family, but she didn’t want He Wei to suffer because of it.

"I'm also hoping to get more money, aren't I? Your family is waiting for money right now. Did you forget what your brother said? He still needs a lot to marry his fiancée.

The girl’s family is asking for a lot, and they even want to bring her younger brother to live in your house."

Talking about this, He Cheng was at a loss for words.

He already considered himself a pretty frustrating person, but now he had encountered something even more absurd.

Who brings their younger brother to live with them after marriage?

It’s not like her family has no other relatives. They have several sisters, and the parents are still around.

Her older sister married into a good family and has been helping out a lot.

How could such a family do something so unreasonable?

He Cheng couldn’t figure it out.

Thinking about her family’s situation made Xu Niandi feel weighed down. "I don’t know what to do next. There’s no way Mom and Dad will give me money for my family.

We don’t have much money either, and we’ll need it once the baby comes.

My brother is the only son in the family. What if he really can’t do without this..."

Thinking about it made Xu Niandi feel upset. She had just started living a good life, so why was her family always dragging her down?

How long had she been married, after all?

If they kept asking for money, how were she and He Cheng supposed to come up with it?

"I’ll try to talk to Mom and see if she has any money saved up. If not, maybe she can help us borrow from He Wei. After all, she received compensation from the Ji family and Third Uncle, right?

It’s a large sum of money, and she doesn’t have anywhere to spend it."

Xu Niandi really wanted to advise him not to get his hopes up.

Even though Mom favors He Cheng, she wouldn’t go so far as to borrow money from He Wei for him.

Who didn’t know what He Cheng was like?

But she couldn’t bring herself to say those things. The main reason He Cheng liked her so much was that she knew what he liked to hear.

She had to rely on him.

If she said things he didn’t want to hear, he would probably get annoyed before long.

It was originally He Huihui’s idea for her to marry He Cheng.

But now, she really liked He Cheng as her husband. Although he wasn’t very capable, his family’s conditions were good.

And he protected her.

By the way, she couldn’t let the family know that she and He Huihui used to have a good relationship.

While He Cheng was scheming to get money from He Wei, she was growing impatient listening to her mom talk about matchmaking.

"Weiwei, listen to Mom. Tomorrow, I’ll take you to Aunt Yan’s. She adores you and will help find someone suitable for you to meet." Qi Yingying thought that finding a man for He Wei as soon as possible would settle her down.

Who knows when Ji Feng might reach out to her again?

"I'm not going, I don't have the mood for it right now." He Wei coldly covered her ears, clearly resistant.

Just because things with Ji Feng were over didn’t mean she had to rush into marrying someone else.

She…

He Wei felt trapped, unable to move on.

Seeing her daughter like this, Qi Yingying sighed helplessly, "Mom is doing this for your own good."

"Get out," He Wei said, pointing to the door, unmoved.

Her heartache doubled!

None of her children were obedient, leaving her frustrated.

The oldest wasn’t close to her and didn’t even live under the same roof. The second child… was now only close to his wife and money, and she could barely see him.

The third child loved watching anything exciting.

Her youngest daughter was the same, completely disobedient!

Compared to the others, the oldest, who wasn’t always around, upset her less often.

She also wondered if he had figured things out and when he would be willing to call her "Mom."

Meanwhile, Qi Yingying was still hoping Wang Qinghe would call her "Mom."

On the other side, Bai Xiuxiu and Wang Qinghe returned home.

They came back earlier than the day before, which surprised Wei Pozi a little.

"You’re home early today! How was it? Was your training tiring? Is Teacher Zhou strict? Should we send something to him as a gesture..."

Wei Pozi was torn about whether they should give something to avoid overworking her son-in-law.

At his age, if it weren't for the ambition to make the family live a better life, he wouldn’t need to study anymore.

Everything he did was for the family.

"Mom, Teacher Zhou isn’t strict, don’t worry. As for sending something… we’ll wait for a while." Wang Qinghe already had a plan.
