Chapter 141 The Cat Returns 25
The reason for this was that Wu Yong's older brother and sister believed that Zhao Ping could be taken care of in China, so they settled down abroad with peace of mind.
He has rarely returned to China in recent years, especially not even once in the last five years, and has always believed that Zhao Ping is still living with Wu Yong.
Later, when Zhao Ping returned to live in the village, why didn't either of them notice anything amiss?
Because Zhao Ping knew nothing about modern products, Wu Yong had always helped her set up her phone, including WeChat, which he also logged into.
Wu Yong continued to use Zhao Ping's WeChat account to chat with the brother and sister, asking for money, even after Zhao Ping left.
Wu Yong took many photos and videos of Zhao Ping's daily life beforehand and sent them to the two of them from time to time, and the siblings didn't think much of it.
In this way, over the course of twelve years, the brother and sister transferred at least several million yuan to Zhao Ping, including the gold they bought for her health products, all of which were taken by Wu Yong.
What's even more outrageous is that Wu Yong asked the siblings for Zhao Ping's living expenses under the pretext of taking care of her. The siblings already felt guilty for not being able to stay by Zhao Ping's side while they were abroad, and they also loved their younger brother.
Therefore, the living expenses were given to him quite generously. Wu Yong used the money to buy several more houses. Now Wu Yong's net worth is at least tens of millions, which is basically obtained by Zhao Ping extorting money from the brother and sister.
But Zhao Ping only suffered from overwork-related illnesses while living with Wu Yong, and only received a monthly allowance of 1,000 yuan. Wu Yong was simply heartless and insane.
Now, the brother and sister, who are abroad, suddenly decide to return to China to visit Zhao Ping, which makes Wu Yong very anxious. He is afraid that they will find out the truth, so he rushes to pick Zhao Ping up.
"Ugh, Wu Yong is such a jerk!!" Tuanzi stomped her feet angrily in the space.
Indeed, Wu Yong monopolized all the family's resources, yet he still didn't treat Zhao Ping well. He was even willing to hire a nanny at a high salary but wouldn't give Zhao Ping a single extra penny.
A thousand yuan is barely enough for an ordinary person to eat, but Zhao Ping takes care of so many cats every month and keeps them so well. You can imagine how frugal Zhao Ping is each month.
While the two siblings abroad did not mistreat Zhao Ping financially, their early independence meant they didn't understand their mother at all, which allowed them to be deceived by Wu Yong.
Or you could say they're just using money to ease their conscience, believing that giving money is fulfilling their filial duty.
A cold glint flashed in Shen Chumo's eyes; she was determined to take charge of this matter!
The next day, Wu Yong brought Liu Nan and Wu Jun to the old house again, having made up his mind that this time he must bring Zhao Ping back no matter what.
After knocking on the door, Wu Yong gritted his teeth, knelt down before Zhao Ping, and cried, "Mom, I'm so unfilial for leaving you to live alone here. Please come with me, and I'll take good care of you."
Liu Nan, feigning tears, said, "Yes, Mom, you have no idea how much Wu Yong feels guilty. If he hadn't run into trouble at work, he would have brought you back long ago."
After you left, we suffered day and night.
Wu Jun rushed over and hugged Zhao Ping, saying, "Grandma, I missed you. Come back with us." His attitude was completely different from yesterday, which meant that Wu Yong and his wife must have specifically instructed him to do so.
Shen Chumo watched from the side, scratching incessantly at the wooden stool with her claws. These three were truly shameless.
Zhao Ping looked at her grandson with some emotion and gently patted his head. Seeing Zhao Ping's gesture, Liu Nan was overjoyed, thinking that things were looking promising, and quickly pressed his advantage, saying, "Mom, look how much Junjun misses you, why don't you come back with us? We've prepared a new room for you at home, it's spacious and bright."
Wu Yong stepped forward and said sincerely, "Mom, I know I was wrong before, but I've changed now. Please give me a chance to make amends."
Several neighbors nearby heard the commotion and came over. Seeing the scene, they advised, "Sister Zhao, your son is so filial, why are you still staying here? Why don't you go to the city and enjoy a better life?"
At this moment, Shen Chumo darted out and meowed around Zhao Ping's feet.
When Zhao Ping saw Shen Chumo, her eyes cleared up considerably. What would happen to the cats if she left?
Zhao Ping squatted down and gently stroked Shen Chumo's head. Looking at the cats all over the yard, she made up her mind.
She stood up and said to Wu Yong, his family of three, and the neighbors, "I'm not leaving. I'm very comfortable living here. I'm happy with these cats around me. You don't need to try to persuade me anymore."
Wu Yong's face turned ugly; he hadn't expected his mother to reject him because of a few cats.
Liu Nan said anxiously, "Mom, why are you so stubborn? Life in the city is so good, please come back with us."
Zhao Ping shook her head and said, "Having them with me is enough."
Only Wu Jun's eyes lit up when he saw Shen Chumo. He tugged at Liu Nan's sleeve and said, "Mom, this cat is so beautiful. Let's take it home and raise it."
Wu Yong was already annoyed by the cats, and when he heard that his son wanted to keep cats, he slapped Wu Jun across the face. "Why keep cats? Aren't you already in enough trouble?" Wu Jun was stunned by the slap.
He had been pampered since he was a child and had never suffered such grievances before. He immediately sat on the ground and started crying and making a scene, saying, "I don't care, I want this cat, I want this cat."
Liu Nan was also having a headache because of Wu Jun. She looked at Shen Chumo and was also stunned. This cat was indeed very beautiful, even more beautiful than her friends' purebred cats.
Suddenly, a plan popped into Liu Nan's mind. She pulled Wu Yong aside and said, "Mom refuses to leave because of these cats. If we take all these cats with us, Mom will come back with us."
Wu Yong frowned and said, "I don't want to raise these cats. They're all so dirty."
Liu Nan nudged Wu Yong and said with a mischievous smile, "Are you stupid? Those cats are never home. Once they get to the city, it's not unusual for a few to get lost someday."
Liu Nan had made up her mind: she could sell this beautiful cat, and she could just take the others out and abandon them, saying they were lost.
Wu Yong understood Liu Nan's meaning and a smile appeared on his face. "Your idea is good. My brother and sister will be arriving in the next couple of days. No matter what, let's get my mother back first."
Shen Chumo heard their plan clearly. Her cold gaze swept over them, and it seemed she no longer needed to hold back.
When Wu Yong and Liu Nan returned, they helped Wu Jun up and said, "Son, do you really want to raise a cat?"
Wu Jun nodded quickly, "I want to raise it, I want to raise it."
Liu Nan smiled and said to Zhao Ping, "Mom, as you can see, Junjun also really likes cats. How about you come back with us and take all these cats back with you to raise?"
Zhao Ping wasn't confused either. This daughter-in-law was the cleanest person around, so how could she possibly want to keep these cats? Who knows what bad things she might be up to?
Zhao Ping shook her head warily: "Why would you raise them? These cats are all free-roaming cats. They like to run around and play. How could they adapt to city life?"
Liu Nan's smile froze on her face; she hadn't expected Zhao Ping to refuse so decisively.
