After being reborn, I took my childhood sweetheart to cultivate immortality.

After a happy hotpot meal with the Xu family, they slowly walked back to Nantong Street and went their separate ways home. Yu Jinchen really liked the Xu family's atmosphere; if he could, he really didn't want to go back to that cold, impersonal home.

However, tonight won't do. He needs to negotiate with his family to prevent them from interfering in his affairs.

As Liu Meihua saw her eldest son enter, she sneered and asked, "Oh, so you've finally decided to come back? Weren't you going to the Xu family to be a dutiful son?"

Yu Jinchen didn't speak. He found a stool, sat down, looked around at his family, and said, "I'm no longer the child you used to beat and scold. You can't make decisions for me anymore."

"However, since you gave birth to me, I am willing to take on the responsibility of caring for you in your old age. I am unwilling and unable to make any further demands."

Hearing his words, Liu Meihua stood up angrily, pointed at him and cursed, "You heartless little brat, how dare you talk to your parents like that? We've raised you for nothing. If we had known you would be so unfilial, we should have strangled you when you were born."

Yu Jinchen snorted coldly, "Did you really raise me? When my grandmother was alive, she raised me all the time. After my grandmother passed away, I didn't have a full meal or a decent piece of clothing for a whole year."

“A nine-year-old child had to do chores every day in exchange for a little bit of leftover food that wasn’t enough to fill his stomach. By the time I was ten, I was able to support myself.”

“Even so, I am still often beaten and scolded by you. Sometimes I really doubt whether I am your child. Otherwise, why is it that out of the three children in the family, only I have to endure this unfair treatment?”

Liu Meihua's expression froze for a moment, and she clutched her chest, shouting, "How can you not be our biological child? You were born after all the hardships I went through to give birth to you. Now that you've made it big, you don't want to acknowledge your parents anymore, do you?"

"Alright, stop trying to whitewash things. You all know very well what happened to me when I was a child, there's no need to bring it up again. Now let's talk about how much I need to pay you every year so I can live my own life from now on."

Yu Jinchen suddenly interrupted her, his expression calm and devoid of any emotion.

Liu Meihua was about to start cursing again when Yu Jinchen gave her a cold glance, then turned to stare at Yu Zhongsheng, "Dad, you tell me what to say, I don't care anyway."

“If we can’t reach an agreement, I’ll wait until you reach the legal retirement age and then the three siblings can split the pension amount according to the laws and regulations.”

Now, Yu Zhongsheng could no longer pretend to be dead. He threw away his cigarette butt, glared at Liu Meihua, and said, "Alright, stop fooling around. What kind of behavior is this?"

Liu Meihua immediately became obedient and sat back on the sofa with a gloomy face.

Yu Jinchen knew that his father's honest and kind image in front of outsiders was always a facade. Despite his mother's volatile temper, she wouldn't dare to move an inch when his father really got angry.

Seeing that his wife's charms had no effect on his boss, Wang Zhongsheng had no choice but to take matters into his own hands.

"Eldest son, out of the three kids in our family, you're the only one who's accomplished anything. Tell me yourself, how much money do you contribute to the family every year? I've heard that the car you drive must be worth hundreds of thousands."

Yu Jinchen's lips curled slightly. It seemed his father had done his homework. Fortunately, he had never let his family know what kind of business he was involved in, otherwise their greed would never be satisfied.

“The average worker here earns at most four or five hundred yuan a month. I give my family five thousand yuan a year. In the future, I can increase it as my salary increases.”

Before Yu Zhongsheng could even speak, Yu Jinxuan jumped up, "That's too little! I'm not even married yet. Big brother, you're so rich, you should at least buy me a house and a car, right?"

“That’s right, my family is still living in a small apartment with my in-laws, you have to buy me a house too.” Yu Yuxuan quickly stated her conditions after hearing what her younger brother had said.

Yu Jinchen smiled coldly and asked instead of answering, "Do I have an extra pair of parents? I've only ever heard of adoptive parents before, this is the first time I've heard something so absurd."

Liu Meihua couldn't help but chime in, "If you just let a little bit of your finger slip out, you could get them a house and a car. We're all family, why are you so fussy?"

Yu Jinchen ignored her and looked only at Yu Zhongsheng, "Dad, is there any need for us to continue talking today?"

Yu Zhongsheng asked unwillingly, "Boss, can't you give me a little more?"

"No, I'll say it again: based on what you did to me back then, even if I don't give you a single cent now, no one will say anything."

Yu Zhongsheng thought about it and had no choice but to agree. He knew that if he didn't agree today, his eldest son was capable of not giving him a single penny.

“Okay, here’s five thousand yuan. I’ll send the money back around National Day every year. Don’t come looking for me again.”

After saying that, Yu Jinchen took out a wad of cash from his pocket, put it on the table, and got up to leave.

He never wanted to go back to this house again. If it weren't for Manman, he would have left long ago.

Seeing Yu Jinchen leave without looking back, Yu Yuxuan said anxiously, "Dad, he's just gone like that. What are we going to do with my house? We really can't fit everyone here anymore."

Yu Jinxuan also got anxious, "That's right, Dad, I still want him to buy me a car."

These days, he's been bragging to a few friends that he'll definitely get his older brother to buy him a car. Now, he's really losing face.

"I don't even have this much myself. If you want it, earn it yourself." Yu Zhongsheng was driven crazy by his two children. He knew that if they weren't afraid of him causing trouble for the Xu family, he probably wouldn't even get this little bit of money.

He stuffed the money into his pocket and prepared to go back to his room to sleep.

Yu Jinchen stepped forward and grabbed him, shamelessly saying, "Hey, Dad, Dad, wait a minute, I don't have a single penny on me, how about you give me half of this money?"

Yu Zhongxin frowned, thought for a moment, took out two hundred yuan and handed it over, "Spend it sparingly, go out and find some decent work tomorrow, I can't support you for the rest of your life."

Yu Yuxuan also chimed in, "Dad, can you share some with me too? Your grandson's milk powder money hasn't been covered yet this month."

Yu Zhongsheng glared at him and said, "What do you mean by 'divide'? This is my retirement money. You're married now, so don't come back to beg for my money all the time."

Giving it to the son was a last resort, since the eldest son would definitely not come back to take care of him when he became unable to move, so he would have to rely on the youngest son.

My daughter belongs to someone else now. Looking at her like this, she'll never be filial to me in the future. How could I possibly give her money?

At this moment, Yu Yuxuan's husband, Zhao Qiuping, suddenly stood up and shouted angrily, "Yu Yuxuan, this is the Yu family home. I'm going back to our Zhao family home. Do you want to leave?"

Seeing the man rushing out aggressively, Yu Yuxuan stomped her foot and chased after him.
