Why aren't you guys complaining now that I'm here?

"Xiaoxue, your Uncle Liang's two sons have a hard time earning money, and they still have to pay off their mortgages and car loans. Mom just transferred 5,000 yuan to them yesterday. From now on, our living expenses will only be 500 yuan per month, so you should save some money and make do."

My palm felt cold, and two one-dollar coins collided with each other, making a tinkling sound.

Lin Hao came back to his senses in a daze. The thin and weak woman in front of him had withdrawn her hand, put on her worn and mottled leather bag, changed her shoes and prepared to go out.

Lin Hao ignored her and turned around to sit on the sofa to watch the show.

The original Yu Xiaoxue was in her first year of high school. Her father, Yu Shiwei, died in a car accident when she was in elementary school, leaving behind 500,000 yuan in compensation.

Grandpa died early, and Grandma Yu, considering that it was not easy for the mother and daughter to depend on each other, did not take a penny and left all the compensation to her granddaughter and daughter-in-law Li Ying.

At the beginning, Li Ying was immersed in sadness, but she took good care of Yu Xiaoxue.

Unexpectedly, within two years, she met her secret crush from school days, Liang Siyue, at a class reunion. When she heard that Liang Siyue's wife had passed away due to illness a few years ago, her old love was rekindled and she couldn't stop.

Knowing that Liang Siyue had to work and take care of two sons and was too tired to handle everything, she volunteered to move to the vicinity of Liang's house with Yu Xiaoxue, just to help the father and sons with cooking and housework.

Even though Liang Siyue was cold towards her and the Liang brothers were not friendly towards her, she was still happy to put her face in the cold butt.

Her own daughter came back from school starving, but she pretended not to notice and went to Liang's house to cook after buying some groceries.

After the Liang family's father and son finished their meal, she helped wash the dishes and clean the house, and then washed their clothes and socks before going home.

After returning home, she was exhausted, so she hastily cooked a pot of porridge for Yu Xiaoxue to eat.

She didn't have time to wash the dirty clothes that Yu Xiaoxue took off. She could either let her continue wearing them and wash them for her when they were so dirty that the color couldn't be seen, or she could just let her wash them herself.

Yu Xiaoxue and Liang Siyue's two sons, Liang Qi and Liang Yang, go to the same school. Sometimes when there are parent-teacher meetings, Liang Siyue is too busy to handle it alone. Li Ying would rather leave Yu Xiaoxue behind and go to help Liang Siyue's sons attend the meetings.

As time went by, Liang Siyue was somewhat touched and became more friendly towards Li Ying.

Li Ying was greatly encouraged and became more diligent.

Not long after, Liang Siyue proposed to buy a house, but he was still short of 600,000 yuan for the down payment.

On the same day, Li Ying gave Yu Shiwei the remaining 400,000 yuan in compensation for the car accident, plus 200,000 yuan borrowed from relatives and friends, a total of 600,000 yuan.

Liang Siyue was very touched and asked her to be his girlfriend on the spot.

Being with him was Li Ying's wish for more than ten years, and she couldn't wait to agree.

She didn't go home that night.

However, Liang Yang hated Li Ying and deliberately targeted Yu Xiaoxue, throwing her schoolbag into the river near the school.

Yu Xiaoxue ran home crying and waited for Li Ying all night in the sub-zero weather in the depths of winter. As a result, she caught a bad cold and had a high fever for half a month, and she fell behind in a lot of schoolwork.

While she was ill, Yu Xiaoxue complained to Li Ying and asked her to stop associating with the Liang family.

But Li Ying scolded her and said that she just wanted to pursue her own love, and there was nothing wrong with that.

She also said that Liang Yang's birthday was two months younger than hers and he was her younger brother, so she should give in to Liang Yang.

From then on, in order to help Liang Siyue pay off his mortgage, she would "lend" him two-thirds of her salary every month, leaving only one-third for household expenses and Yu Xiaoxue's living expenses.

The quality of life of both mother and daughter declined significantly. Yu Xiaoxue even had to buy the cheapest sanitary napkins, and she also contracted a gynecological disease and suffered a lot.

Li Ying, however, was happy with it and immersed herself in her own feelings, not caring at all about her daughter.

That’s fine. Although life is a little hard, I can still get by.

Unexpectedly, not long after Liang Siyue bought a house, he wanted to buy a new car. In order to support him, the first thing Li Ying did after receiving her monthly salary was to transfer 5,000 to him, and only keep 500 for herself.

Yu Xiaoxue was miserable. Liang Yang was spreading the word at school that her mother was a mistress and seduced her father all day long, causing Yu Xiaoxue to be isolated.

Yu Xiaoxue suffers from depression and is unwilling to go to school, but Li Ying is only concerned with her love life and is unwilling to patiently understand her daughter's inner thoughts, so she forces her to go to school.

Yu Xiaoxue developed a fear of school and made up her mind to go out to work without telling Li Ying.

After working outside to earn money, Yu Xiaoxue went to see a psychologist, and with the doctor's advice and medication, she cured her depression.

At first, Li Ying was afraid that something might happen to her, so she called the police. The police contacted Yu Xiaoxue. After Yu Xiaoxue reported that she was safe, Li Ying forgot about her.

The mother and daughter had no contact for five years. Yu Xiaoxue had a boyfriend, and when they were about to get married, Li Ying suddenly called her and said that she was sick and wanted to see Yu Xiaoxue.

After all, she was her own mother, Yu Xiaoxue couldn't ignore her and quickly bought a ticket to go home.

Li Ying moved into Liang Siyue's house, but because Liang Qi and Liang Yang were bothered, they did not get a marriage certificate.

After having a meal at Liang's house, Yu Xiaoxue fainted without realizing it.

When she woke up the next day, she was a mess and Liang Yang was standing by the bed buttoning his clothes, his face gloomy and disgusted.

"Yu Xiaoxue, I warn you to stay here honestly. When you become pregnant with my child, I will let you out."

The memory of being bullied came flooding back, and Yu Xiaoxue collapsed.

Liang Yang slapped her impatiently, "Shut your mouth! If you dare to mess with me again, I won't mind taking your life!"

Yu Xiaoxue was frightened.

Liang Yang pushed the door open and left indifferently.

Li Ying stood at the door and spoke to him with a flattering expression, but Liang Yang frowned in disgust.

"Calm her down. I don't want anyone to find out about her being here these past few days."

Li Ying nodded quickly, "Don't worry, Xiaoyang. I took her phone away and locked the door. She can't get out!"

Liang Yang turned and walked out.

Li Ying closed the door and sat down beside the bed.

Yu Xiaoxue hugged the quilt, her eyes filled with tears and disappointment, "You helped him drug me, why did you do this!"

Li Ying sighed, "Xiaoxue, I've watched Xiaoyang grow up over the years. He's like my own child."

"What about me! I am your biological child!" Yu Xiaoxue roared in anger, unable to bear it any longer.

"Shhhhh!" Li Ying's face tightened and she quickly covered her mouth, "Don't be so loud!"

"Get out!" Yu Xiaoxue was extremely angry and kept struggling.

"How can you be so heartless, kid!" Li Ying slapped her and growled in a suppressed voice, "I'm warning you, be good these few days. It won't do you any good to anger Xiao Yang!"

"Get out!" Yu Xiaoxue chased him away with red eyes.

"Alright! Since you don't want to drink my toast, don't blame me for not caring about you!"

Li Ying turned her face away impatiently, found a rope to tie her up, and stuffed her mouth.

Yu Xiaoxue was locked in a room and forced to have sex with Liang Yang for eight consecutive days.

On the morning of the ninth day, a sirens suddenly sounded downstairs.
