章 533: Chapter 223: One Less is One Less

"Mom, how did it go? How much money did my eldest sister give you?" Li Hongqi had been waiting at home, not even going to the hospital or to work, and upon hearing some noise at the entrance, he hurriedly got off the kang to see. Seeing it was indeed his mother returning, he quickly asked.

"Money? What money? Let me tell you, those two are no good, nothing but beasts! When I got there, there was no talking sense with them. Liu Jianjun even tried to hit me with a shovel, just after I mentioned borrowing some money for your wife's hospitalization. They kicked me out! Liu Jianjun is worthless, and he told me even if he had the money, he wouldn't lend it to me." Qiu Shuping was fuming with anger. All the way home, she had been pondering how to tell her son. She hadn't managed to take care of the matter her son had entrusted her with, and in her mind, all the blame rested on her eldest daughter and son-in-law—it had nothing to do with her.
