Chapter 147: I'm out of money

Hu Dashan and Zhang Yuzhen moved into a small room and settled down. Li Xiaoying tidied up roughly. After they entered, they put their clothes and other things from their suitcases into the wardrobe.
"This house must be worth a lot of money," Zhang Yuzhen lazily said while lying on the bed. "How come it belongs to your sister?"
"What's the big deal? Even if it's hers, it's easy to handle. Xiaoyu will get married in the future. Why would she need a house anyway? Make an effort to have a son soon, so we won't have to say anything. Dad will make Xiaoyu give the house to us," Hu Dashan confidently replied as he laid down on the bed as well.
"I'm already pregnant, but I don't know if it's a boy or a girl," Zhang Yuzhen said worriedly. It was just discovered within the past couple of days.
"Who cares? Just tell them tomorrow that you're pregnant and need to take care of yourself. Let Li Xiaoying take care of you diligently. Prepare some delicious food, soups, and other nourishing things. And I can benefit from it too," Hu Dashan said proudly.
"That's not necessarily true. Your stepmother is different now. She has Li Yunyi backing her up. If she can serve me well, that would be a miracle. It was still acceptable when we were in Mucheng before." Zhang Yuzhen knows herself well.
"Then let her find a nanny and come back," Hu Dashan said, "It's usually the old ladies who serve as nannies in our place. Now she has money, it's not like she can't afford it. Look at how well the store is doing."
"Yeah, now all the money must be managed by your stepmother. I doubt there will be anything left for you in the future. It would be great if you can get your hands on this house." Zhang Yuzhen said.
"Yeah, but it would be great if we can get our hands on this house. It must be worth close to ten million, right?" Hu Dashan's face was full of longing.
Li Xiaoying is now tidying up the bedroom. Hu Xiaoyu, on the other hand, stands stealthily outside the small room door. She puts her ear against the door to listen to the conversation inside.
Seeing Hu Xiaoyu's behavior, Li Xiaoying gets angry and stomps her feet. She waves at Hu Xiaoyu and calls her over.
"What are you doing?" Li Xiaoying pulled Hu Xiaoyu into the master bedroom and closed the door.
"Mom, listen to what they are saying." Hu Xiaoyu shook the phone in her hand. She had just recorded the conversation by sticking her phone to the door.
"This...this... It's making me so angry." Li Xiaoying rolled her eyes in exasperation. The recorded sound was very faint, but it was still clear enough for Li Xiaoying to hear.
"Yes, they actually plotted like this. They should hurry back to Mu City." Hu Xiaoyu said angrily.
"Xiaoyu, things are not as you imagine. I have to take into consideration your father's position and cannot completely cut off ties without giving him face," Li Xiaoying said helplessly.
"Mom, this is your fault. If you take a step back, they will take two steps forward, forcing you to retreat step by step," Hu Xiaoyu said seriously."I will let Dad listen to the recording and see what he can do. Mom, you don't need to worry about it," Hu Xiaoyu said.
“这样不好吧?”杨小莺迟疑了一下道。
“没有什么不好的。”胡晓玉道,“我们现在就去找老爸……”
胡晓玉的话还没有说完,防盗门被打开的声音从虚掩这的房门传进来。李小莺站起来一看原来是老胡回来了。看样子他也是有些不放心胡大山夫妻。
"Dad, you came back just in time. Listen to this." Hu Xiaoyu played the recording once.
"What is this? This bastard actually has such ulterior motives." Lao Hu's face also looked bad with anger.
“可不是啊,他们刚才好像是这里的主人一样。还要这件主卧室。被我说了几句后就想要我的房间。”胡晓玉愤愤的道。“现在还打这样主意。”
"Wait, let me listen again. It seems like something happened just now. Is Zhang Yuzhen pregnant or not?" Lao Hu remembered at this moment.
"Hmm, so what if she is?" Hu Xiaoyu was stunned and replied.
"The next generation of the Hu family, oh." Old Hu's face lit up with excitement. "Right, let's have them stay here so as not to provoke Zhang Yuzhen. We can decide what to do after the baby is born."
"Dad, you need to understand what kind of person Zhang Yuzhen is. If you want her not to get angry, it means that mom and I will be the ones who are wronged and get angry." Hu Xiaoyu sneered, "I don't mind, but mom should never be wronged. Otherwise, you can imagine how my brother will react. Don't blame me for not reminding you in time."
"Lao Hu, it was understandable that you stayed separate from them when you were in Mucity. It's fine for them to be guests here now, but they can't stay for long. Otherwise, we should consider renting a house for them to go to." Li Xiaoying pondered for a moment and said, "It would be better to have them return to Mucity. The business there is also good. If they don't want to work, can you support them for a lifetime?"
"But they have a child..." Lao Hu looked reluctant.
"So what? Do you want me to serve them both?" Li Xiaoying was determined now. "As a stepmother, I think I've done quite well. But how did that Hu Dashan treat me? And how did that Zhang Yuzhen treat me? They both want to treat me like a nanny. And I have to earn money to support them."
"Uh, well...," Lao Hu couldn't find the words to say.
"Alright, let me give Yunyang a call. I'll have him arrange some work for them. Their factory has its own dormitory," said Li Xiaoying.
"But Zhang Yuzhen is pregnant..." Lao Hu said.
"So what?" Li Xiaoying was full of resentment. "When I was pregnant with Xiaoyu, I had to do everything. I was grinding noodles on the mill in the morning and gave birth to Xiaoyu in the afternoon. I only had a week's rest after giving birth to Xiaoying. You know well the health problems I have now."
"Uh, so that's why we should treat them better." Lao Hu said anxiously, "Back then, you endured hardships with me, there was no other way..."
"Dad, Mom doesn't have an obligation to Hu Dashan and his wife." Hu Xiaoyu said. "Don't use Mom's hard work to give them favors."
"What business do you have, Xiaoyu? Don't interrupt. Mr. Li is a good brother. But Hu Dashan is also your brother!" Old Hu said angrily.
"Of course it's my business. What's wrong with me not wanting my mother to suffer?" Hu Xiaoyu said.
"Xiaoying, just do it for my sake..." Lao Hu said.
"That's impossible." Yang Xiaoying had also figured it out after hearing what Hu Xiaoyu said. "I raised him, Hu Dashan. He said he has no obligation towards me. Then I have no obligation towards him either! For your sake, I'll make a phone call to Yun Yang."
"Let Da Shan work alone. Let Yu Zhen stay at home..." Old Hu still wanted to fight for it.
"No, this is our home. I don't want outsiders to move in. Yun Yang can arrange good jobs for them and let them move out." Li Xiao Ying said firmly. "You need to understand, you may treat them as family, but they are not in my eyes."
