Chapter 490: The Scent of Conspiracy_1
Luo Yuantu wheeled himself into the room and, seeing his daughter’s tear-stained cheeks, he sighed and patted her back, comforting her, "Zi Tong, don’t cry anymore. Your grandmother and mother said those things for the sake of our family."
"You are their granddaughter, their daughter, how could they possibly harm you?"
"Dad, they all want to go and keep company with that old coot!"
Luo Zitong looked up with teary red eyes and said, "They also said if I don’t go, our entire family is doomed. They are forcing me!"
"Ah..." Luo Yuantu sighed, "In truth, grandmother is not wrong; our Luo family really has reached a dead end."
"No! My brother and I have our limbs intact; if we go out to work, we can totally support the family."
Luo Zitong said stubbornly.
"Work? How much money can you make from a job? Five thousand? Or six thousand?"
Luo Yuantu shook his head and said with a bitter smile, "Even if you and Xuan Ran go to work properly, you could at most earn just over ten thousand a month."
"There are five mouths to feed in our family. Renting a place outside alone costs at least four to five thousand a month. I have to be treated for my illness too, which costs at least five or six thousand a month, not to mention your and your mom’s skincare products, grandma’s medication, household expenses."
"Even if we could somehow persevere like this, is this the life you want? Do you really want to struggle like this for the rest of your life?"
