Chapter 655 - 654 What’s the Origin
No matter the reason, there’s no justification.
Not to mention they’re all elder brothers. The sister and her husband had just gotten married, and before they could even consummate the marriage, they had to manage their father’s funeral. Not only was it emotionally taxing, but they also bore all the expenses.
Though the elder brothers claimed they weren’t as wealthy, life wasn’t hard for them, yet they pretended to be deaf and mute, not saying a single word.
Those who knew the situation understood that the brothers hadn’t had time to deal with it, but those who didn’t might be poking their spines and cursing them.

These past few days must have been exhausting for you and your husband! Whatever the cost, just keep track of the expenses. We’ll cover it temporarily, and once we return to Qilidun, including Eldest Brother, we’ll definitely reimburse you! Right, Laosi?"

Back in the day, he fought to take in Dad because of his share of the family property, and I thought he really had changed. Turns out a dog can’t stop eating shit. Hearing that Dad wanted to leave his share to me just before he closed his eyes, organizing the funeral became about sharing the costs with the brothers."
"It’s lucky Laosi is clueless, just going along with whatever he’s told. If he hadn’t married a shrewd wife, who knows, he might end up sold and still be counting the money for someone else—"
