The heavens set sail from the courtyard

Of course, Xie Laoer went home today not because his niece was on TV, but because he was short of money again.

He originally found a job as a resident singer in a bar, but was fired by the bar owner because he quarreled with a customer.

Later, there was a ray of hope. A bar customer worked for a record company. After listening to Xie Laoer's performance, he found it very interesting and offered him an opportunity to release a record.

Xie Lao Er certainly didn't want to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but the other party asked Xie Lao Er to pay part of the production cost, which made him feel troubled.

A penny can make a hero fall. Xie Laoer's pockets are cleaner than his face. Where would he get the money to release a record? He can only rely on his family.

This time he came back just to ask for money, but after hearing that his son's novel was published in a magazine and received royalties, Xie Laoer naturally set his sights on his son.

"Xie Lin, Dad wants to discuss something with you." Xie Laoer rubbed his hands, his eyes shining. It was rare for him to speak to Wang Gang in a friendly tone.

"I don't have money, but I have my life." Wang Gang knew what Xie Laoer was going to say when he saw him sticking his butt out.

"You are young, and it is not safe to keep the money with you. I, your dad, will keep it for you first." Xie Laoer suppressed his temper and tried his best to make himself look more amiable.

Wang Gang rolled his eyes and didn’t bother to answer Xie Lao Er. He continued watching TV.

The veins on Xie Laoer's forehead twitched, but he finally suppressed his anger.

Xie Zirun didn't want to see his brother and nephew get into a fight, so he said, "Second brother! Xie Lin's future royalties will be deposited with me, don't worry! I will help him keep an eye on the money."

Mother Xie also spoke up: "Second brother, your eldest brother and I have discussed buying a small house for Xie Lin. We will pay the down payment, and Xie Lin's royalties will be used to pay the monthly mortgage payments."

Xie Lao Er said unhappily: "Why buy a house? It's not like you don't have a place to live. You're just messing around, sister-in-law."

When Mrs. Xie heard this, her face changed immediately. It was still Xie Zirun who managed to calm his wife down with some persuasion.

"We have discussed the purchase of a house with Xie Lin, and he agrees." Xie Zirun advised:
"Your sister-in-law and I are also thinking about you and Xie Lin. With a house in hand, you will have a home in the future."

Xie Lao Er didn't appreciate it at all and said, "It's not like I don't have a home. I'll come back more often to live with mom in the future."

Mother Xie couldn't stand it any longer and said angrily: "Second brother, don't be ungrateful. There is only so much space at home, how can so many people live there? You can mess around for half your life, but don't let Xie Lin get in trouble."

Xie Lao Er said dissatisfiedly: "Sister-in-law, Xie Lin is my son, not your son. You don't need to worry about his affairs."

Xie Zirun frowned and said, "Second brother, don't be ungrateful. We are doing this for your own good."

Xie Lao Er snorted coldly: "Who knows what you are up to!"

"That's enough." Wang Gang couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so he stood up and said to Xie Lao Er: "The royalties are mine. It's my freedom to give them to anyone and use them in any way. You have no right to interfere."

Xie Laoer said excitedly: "I am your father, do you think I have the right to interfere with you?"

Wang Gang snorted coldly: "Do you need me to explain the law to you? Even if we are biological father and son, you have no right to touch my money."

"You, you are rebelling." Xie Laoer got angry and raised his hand to slap Wang Gang.

"Second brother, what are you doing?" Grandma Xie shouted angrily and held Second Brother Xie's hand tightly to prevent him from hitting her grandson.

"Mom, don't stop me. I must teach that brat a lesson today." Xie Lao Er shouted.

The news from the Xie family soon reached the ears of the neighbors, and the Qin family was the first to come.

"Xie Lao Er, why do you want to beat your son as soon as you come back?"

Father Qin helped Xie Zirun and pulled Xie Laoer away.

"Let me go." Xie Lao Er shouted, "It is only natural for me to beat my son. Who dares to stop me?"

Xie Zirun said: "Second brother, don't be silly, let's talk nicely."

"Brother, you must have taught my son bad things, otherwise how could he treat me like this?!" Xie Lao Er shouted. Xie Zirun was hurt by his brother's words and was stunned for a while.

"Xie Lao Er, have you had enough of this?" Wang Gang shouted, "What qualifications do you have to blame my uncle and aunt?"

Wang Gang's voice was so powerful that it seemed as if the house was shaking. Xie Laoer was also frightened and immediately stopped making a fuss.

"As soon as I was born, you threw me to my uncle and aunt to raise. You haven't spent a penny in the past 15 years and asked my uncle and aunt to help you raise your son. What qualifications do you have to blame my uncle and aunt?" Wang Gang said righteously.

"When did I abandon you to your elder brother and his wife? I asked your grandmother to take care of you." Xie Lao Er argued cunningly.

Wang Gang said coldly: "What's the difference? Grandma is old, how can she take care of me? In the end, I still have to trouble my uncle and aunt.

I grew up drinking my aunt's milk, and they treated me better than their own son. Where have you, their father, been all these years?"

Xie Lao Er was suddenly speechless, and his momentum dropped further and further.

"In this world, you are the only one who cannot blame your uncle and aunt. They have helped you raise your son for fifteen years. Isn't it time to settle this account?" Wang Gang shouted angrily.

"What's the score?" Xie Lao Er said weakly.

"Child support, education fees, living expenses, food expenses, in the past fifteen years, your uncle and others have not asked you for a penny. Isn't it time to pay back this debt?" Wang Gang said with his eyes wide open.

"They didn't ask me for it." Mr. Xie said in a low voice.

"I'm asking you for it now." Wang Gang said firmly: "You gave birth to me, so you have the obligation to raise me. This is stipulated by the law. I'm the one who wants to collect the debt you owe me over the years!"

"You, you want money from me?" Xie Lao Er said in disbelief.

“Isn’t it wrong to ask you for money?” Wang Gang snorted coldly: “You can ask Uncle Qin how much money he has spent on raising Qin Chuan over the years!”

Father Qin said somewhat embarrassedly: "It is only natural for me to raise my son. Why should I ask for money?"

Wang Gang sighed: "Yes! Such a simple truth, but some people just don't understand! Not only do they not want to raise their son, but they also want to lie on his body and suck his blood!"

Grandma Xie's eyes turned red when she heard this, and she accused Xie Laoer, "Xiaoer, you're going too far. Your eldest brother and his wife have helped you so much, and you're not grateful enough, how can you still blame them?"

"I, I didn't mean that."

Xie Laoer felt a little ashamed at this moment. What he said just now was just an angry remark. He also knew the efforts made by his elder brother and sister-in-law over the years.

Neighbors came to the Xie family one after another, and when they heard that Xie Laoer was causing trouble, they all blamed him.

"Second brother, you can't be a heartless person. Your eldest brother and his wife have been so devoted to you and Xie Lin. How can you repay them with evil?" said Grandma Qin.

"That's right! There's no better couple in the whole capital than Mr. Xie and his wife."

"Xie Lao Er, it's fine if you're uneducated, but why are you still unable to tell right from wrong?"

Seeing so many people standing on their side, Xie Zirun and his wife began to wipe their tears, feeling extremely aggrieved.

"I'm sorry, brother and sister-in-law, I just made a mistake, isn't it enough for me to apologize?"

When Xie Laoer saw that he had angered everyone, he slapped himself in the face and surrendered.

"Second brother, go now. Your sister-in-law and I know why you came back today, but we won't spoil you anymore." Xie Zirun sighed:
"To spoil a child is like killing him. Now I know the meaning of this sentence."

"Brother." Xie Lao Er lied and quickly turned to look at his mother.

"Waiter, you go first!" Grandma Xie sighed softly.

Xie Lao Er was struck by lightning. Now even his mother, who loved him the most, dared to let him go? (End of this chapter)
