Warm my heart

Chapter 404 Love in the Rain 08 Meng Ping

When Yiping saw Ruping's actions, her heart sank.

Twenty dollars is far from enough to solve their problems.

"Dad, our rent can't be delayed for another two months."

There was a slight tremor in Yiping's voice, as if she was trying hard to control her emotions.

"We have to pay the grocery store bill, and we are embarrassed to sell on credit at the market anymore." She

After a pause, he continued, "And we need some clothes. Mom only has one cheongsam all year round."

There were tears in her eyes and a hint of sob in her voice.

When Lu Zhenhua heard this, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.

He knew that life was indeed not easy for Yiping and her mother.

But he also has his own difficulties.

"Dad, and my shoes, I have to buy a new pair of shoes."

There was a hint of stubbornness in her eyes, as if to say that this was her last bottom line.

Yiping's voice was filled with helplessness and sarcasm: "Others will not believe that I am a child of the Lu family."

There was a hint of bitterness in her eyes, as if she was expressing her helplessness.

When Xueqin heard this, she immediately became unhappy.

She had a fake smile on her face, and her tone was full of sarcasm: "Oh, you are really bringing up the Lu family.

If it weren't for the money, you wouldn't take the word 'Lu' to heart."

There was a hint of sarcasm in her words, as if she was deliberately trying to provoke Yiping.

When Yiping heard this, she felt a chill in her heart. She knew that it might be difficult to get the money today.

She raised her head, her eyes showing a hint of determination: "Dad, twenty yuan is indeed not enough.

Rent, grocery bill, new clothes and shoes."

He thought of the difficulties Yiping and her mother had gone through over the years.

But at the same time, he also remembered the quarrels and unpleasantness between them.

He cleared his throat, his voice firm, "You think twenty dollars isn't enough? How much do you want?"

Yiping lowered her head, thought for a moment, then raised her head.

He gave a figure: "Two hundred dollars."

There was a hint of determination in her voice, as if to say that this was her final bottom line.

When Xueqin heard this number, her eyes widened.

There was a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone: "Humph, what a big tone! Do you think this money was blown by the wind?

You want to buy new shoes and new clothes. Do you really think that our Lu family has so much money that we can never spend it all?

Besides, after the September 18th Incident, the Japanese invaders occupied the entire Northeast, and we had to flee all the way to Shanghai.

Your older brothers and sisters are still trapped in their hometown in Northeast China!"

I have to say that she does have some means and abilities!

I was able to bring my two children all the way to Shanghai, a bustling city full of opportunities and challenges.

The corners of her mouth rose slightly, and there was a hint of pride in her eyes.

"Why don't you understand your father's difficulties?"

Xueqin continued, a hint of blame in her tone.

"Besides, there are only you and your daughter there, but we have a whole family to support here."

Her words were full of hints, as if reminding Yiping.

Her demands could put a burden on the family.

When Yiping heard this, anger surged in her heart.

There was a hint of anger in her voice: "Auntie Xue, I didn't ask you for money, I was talking to my dad."

There was a hint of impatience in her eyes, as if to say that Xueqin's interruption annoyed her.

Lu Zhenhua said with deep emotion as he slowly exhaled a puff of smoke.

There was a hint of helplessness on his face.

Then, Yiping turned her gaze to Lu Zhenhua, with a hint of expectation in her tone.

"Dad, is that okay?"

There was a tremor in her voice, as if she was trying to control her emotions.

There was a hint of fatigue in Lu Zhenhua's eyes.

He knew in his heart that he could only live off his savings now, and he was old and needed to save some money for himself.

Besides, Yiping is already eighteen years old and is no longer a baby who needs care.

Aunt Xue interrupted, "That's right. We have a whole family to support here! Unlike you, where it's just you and your daughter, relying on each other."

So, Lu Zhenhua took a deep breath and spoke slowly.

"Yiping, your Aunt Xue is right. Things are different now. You should think more about Dad.

This money doesn’t just fall from the sky for no reason.”

A complex emotion flashed in his eyes, as if suggesting to Yiping that her request was a bit excessive.

When Yiping heard this, she could no longer suppress the anger in her heart.

There was a hint of questioning in her voice: "Then why can you buy so many new toys for Erjie?

And buy Ruping a beautiful bracelet?

Even the carpet in the house was replaced with a brand new one!

Also, you have a special driver to pick you up when you go out, and there are so many servants and nannies serving you at home.

You even have a fine horse at the stable!

Don’t all these expenses cost money?

In that case, why can't you take out a mere two hundred dollars to help us, mother and daughter?"

Lu Zhenhua looked at Yiping, her attitude was aggressive.

He questioned his father like this just for a small amount of money.

His face darkened and there was a hint of displeasure in his tone.

"What's with that attitude? No one has ever dared to talk to me like that."

He frowned slightly, a hint of severity in his voice.

"I think I have the right to use my money. I can buy things for whoever I want and no one can interfere with me."

There was a cold glint in his eyes.

It was as if he was saying that Yiping's request had exceeded his bottom line.

Lu Zhenhua thought to himself, seeing Yiping like this, I'm afraid she won't be reliable when he gets old.

He sighed, feeling somewhat helpless.

He didn't really want to leave them, mother and daughter, on the streets.

I just hope Yiping can be a little more submissive and sweeter.

Yiping's personality gave him a headache as she always talked back to him.

It was as if he owed her hundreds of thousands of dollars, which was very annoying to watch.

Yiping's mother also has a sullen face all day long, which makes her lose her appetite just by looking at her.

When Yiping heard Lu Zhenhua's words, tears instantly welled up in her eyes.

There was a hint of sob in her voice: "Dad, Mom and I are your family too. Are you really going to let us live on the streets?"

There was a flicker of despair in her eyes.

It was as if he was saying that the mother and daughter had no one to rely on, so was he really going to abandon them?

When Lu Zhenhua heard this, his heart was slightly shocked.

He didn't really want them to live on the streets.

I just hope Yiping can be a little more sensible.

He sighed, his tone filled with helplessness: "Have you ever been living on the streets? Did I let you live on the streets?"

There was a hint of reproach in his voice.
