“Anran, listen to what you’re saying. Your uncle has changed for the better. He has reflected on himself over the years. Wasn’t he poor back then? His family couldn’t even eat properly, but it couldn’t be helped. It’s different now. Your dad has opened a hospital and has become such a big shot. Your uncle can’t stay idle, can he?” Xu Yanshan continued.

“You’ve changed? You’ll still gamble even after you’ve changed? You said that you were poor, but that was because you spent all your money playing mahjong. Later, my dad helped you and you still have the cheek to say that?”

Lan Anran refused to be outdone.

“Anran, don’t say anymore. Tingyi, Mom, I’m not busy. Yueru’s health is much better and I can handle it now. With the two children taking care of her, I don’t need any help,” Lan Tingyun said gently.

“You can handle it? I don’t think so. We’re family, there’s no need to distinguish between us. Tingyun, you’re the younger brother, you should help Tingyi if he is in trouble. Have you forgotten what your father said before he left? He asked you to take good care of the family. Something happened to your brother a few years ago and he has changed for the better now that he is out. Just forgive him. He will not make the same mistakes,” Zhao Xiumei said.

Lan Yanran didn’t think so. A leopard never changes its spots. He didn’t believe that a greedy person like his uncle would let go of such a good opportunity.

“Mom, Tingyun can do it alone, he doesn’t need any help,” Li Yueru interrupted.

Anran was right, people don’t change. She couldn’t let Lan Tingyi ruin the foundation they worked so hard to build.

“Lan Tingyun! I’m in charge of this family. Can’t you give your brother a small position when you run such a big business?”

Zhao Xiumei was enraged when she saw how stubborn they were being.

“Grandma, it’s alright if Dad doesn’t have to work. Why don’t we let him join Second Uncle’s company as a shareholder and get a bonus?” Lan Yaxin spoke again.

The whole family was full of parasites.

Lan Tingyun glanced at Lan Yaxin. This girl was really quick-witted. Dividends were worth more than working in the hospital and didn’t take much effort.

“Mom, as a shareholder, a shareholder’s dividend needs to be approved by the board of directors and the share price must be taken out first. Otherwise, it won’t do. If Tingyi can take out 1 million yuan, the bonus will be higher and if he takes out 10,000, the bonus will be smaller by the end of the year.”

“What? You want to take more money?”

Zhao Xiumei looked at Lan Tingyi and Xu Yanshan behind her, her eyes full of ideas.

“What? You want to gain something without risking anything?”

Lan Anran smiled.

Those two stingy people would never fork out any of their own money.

“Tingyun, I and your sister-in-law really don’t have any savings. How could we have the money to invest? You should just throw me a bone… Or you can help us pay and we will give you the money when we earn it.”

Lan Tingyi spoke solemnly, but in reality, he just wanted to freeload.

“Uncle, your wishful thinking is great. Dad must have given you a lot of money over the years. Pay back what you owe first.”

Although Lan Anran smiled, her eyes were full of contempt for the person in front of her.

“Anran, why did you say that we owe you money?”

Xu Yanshan was unconvinced.

“He gave the money willingly. Why? Lan Tingyun, are you going to listen to a little girl and not me?”

Zhao Xiumei’s tone was hostile and she squinted.

“Mom, this is a procedure from the board and I can’t make my own decisions. This hospital doesn’t belong to me alone. Besides, all these years, I’ve been using money from the company and my own family. I’ve given you all the money I could, so I’m very tight now.”

Lan Tingyun was furious.

“I don’t want to hear your nonsense. You run such a big company so how could you not have any money? We’re family, why do you only care about yourself? Lan Tingyun, I’ll make the decision. Tingyi will start to work tomorrow.”

Zhao Xiumei’s eyes were full of disappointment. She didn’t believe that her youngest son, a hospital director, would be poor. He just didn’t want to pay.

“Mom, I can’t…”

Li Yueru stopped her.

“Shut up! You have no right to speak in this house!”

Zhao Xiumei was furious.

Lan Tingyun finally understood. He was just an ATM in this family and his mother only had one son, his eldest brother.

“Mom, if you insist he shows up tomorrow, I’ll chase him out when I see him!”

Lan Tingyun looked at Zhao Xiumei in disappointment, his voice weak.

“Don’t you dare! I told you to pay for your brother, but you refused. The dividend agreement didn’t work and now, he can’t even go to work? Are you trying to force your brother to death?”

Zhao Xiumei was furious. She looked at her younger son angrily.

“Mom, you only have Tingyi in your heart. What do you take me for? I’m not an ATM and the family has relied on me all these years. From now on, I will provide you with a set amount of retirement money. You won’t get more than 50,000 yuan a month. Lan Tingyi, don’t even think about relying on me to support you. Focus on finding a job. This hospital doesn’t welcome you.”

Lan Tingyun seemed to have suddenly thought it through and decided not to support the Lan Family. He had no obligation to support his older brother’s family.

“What? Tingyun, that’s not right. You can’t do that!”

Lan Tingyi was a little unwilling. He was used to his comfortable life over the years, so how could he find a job to do manual labor?

“Mom, what should we do? Tingyi has a record and no one wants him. Where is he going to find a job?”

Xu Yanshan was anxious.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

If their family’s income was cut, what would happen to them?
