Brother! This is the adoption certificate. I don't want your sister-in-law!

a few days later.

Su Xiao stood downstairs at her uncle's house and looked up.

The sixth floor.

He lived in this house in his past life, living like a dog living under someone else's roof, sometimes not knowing where his next meal would come from.

Perhaps Su Xiao should be grateful that they still gave her food, since she was living under their roof.

But all the money they spent came from selling their parents' house!

How could Su Xiao not be furious? How could she not be angry?!

He pulled a copy of the contract out of his pocket.

This is a newly made copy; he still has the original.

Su Xiao glanced at it, then folded it up and put it back.

Then I went upstairs.

My aunt opened the door.

When she saw Su Xiao, a smile immediately appeared on her face.

But that smile was like a Spring Festival couplet pasted on; it looked festive, but it would fall apart if torn.

"Su Xiao is here? Come in, come in quickly, your uncles are waiting inside."

Su Xiao didn't say anything and went inside.

Fruit and melon seeds were laid out on the coffee table in the living room, and the TV was on, but the volume was turned down low.

The eldest uncle sat in the main seat, and the second uncle sat beside him. The teacups in front of them were steaming, and they looked ready to discuss business.

Su Xiao sat down opposite them.

The three people were separated by a coffee table.

There was silence for a few seconds.

The uncle picked up his teacup, took a sip, put it down, cleared his throat, and was about to speak.

Su Xiao took out the copy of the contract from her pocket, unfolded it, and laid it on the coffee table.

He didn't speak, but simply looked at the two people opposite him.

First look at my eldest uncle, then look at my second uncle.

The second uncle felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze, so he shrank back into the sofa. Feeling embarrassed, he puffed out his chest and spoke in a stiff voice.

"Su Xiao, what exactly do you want from us today?"

Su Xiao placed her fingers on the contract and tapped it lightly twice.

"Twenty thousand."

The uncle was stunned for a moment: "What?"

Give me 20,000.

Su Xiao's voice wasn't loud, as if she were talking about something very ordinary, "Give me and Wan Ning 20,000 yuan in one lump sum, and we'll never see each other again. If you don't pay, I'll send this contract to the police station, to your workplace, and to all our relatives."

The air in the living room suddenly froze.

My aunt came out of the kitchen carrying a fruit platter. When she heard this, her hand trembled, and she dropped several apples.

"You guys talk, you guys talk."

She quickly picked it up, gave an embarrassed smile, put the fruit plate on the coffee table, and retreated back into the kitchen.

"No wonder his parents died; he wasn't a good person either..."

Aunt's muttering came from the kitchen again, as if she was doing it on purpose.

Su Xiao knew this, but she didn't say anything.

My aunt has indeed cursed her own mother quite a few times.

In her past life, she had spent all the money from selling the house. Whenever her aunt saw Su Xiao, she would scold her, saying things like, "You died so young, leaving a child for them to raise..."

My uncle's face turned purple with anger.

It's probably a heart problem.

He slammed his hand on the coffee table. "Twenty thousand?! Why should we give you money? Are you robbing me?!"

The second uncle, standing nearby, exploded: "Su Xiao, are you crazy? Don't you know how much money your parents left you? Twenty thousand? Do you think we run a bank?!"

Su Xiao waited until they finished speaking before speaking herself.

"Then fifteen thousand."

My uncle opened his mouth, about to slam his fist on the table again.

Su Xiao didn't give him a chance.

"This is the bottom line."

He looked into his uncle's eyes and spoke each word carefully.

"To tell you the truth, this contract you signed appoints you as guardians, allows you to seize our siblings' inheritance and dispose of it at your own discretion, seriously infringes upon the legitimate property rights of minors, completely violates the law, and is a worthless piece of paper from beginning to end. It will be voided if we take it to the judicial office and the court!"

The eldest and second uncles were stunned. They were illiterate and had no idea what the law was.

They didn't even consult a lawyer for this contract; it was something the two of them came up with on their own.

Unsure whether Su Xiao was genuine or not, the uncle shouted, "Su Xiao, do you think we're made of clay? You're trying to extort money from us!"

Seeing that someone had started a group buy, Second Uncle immediately chimed in, "That's right, this is extortion! Be careful, or we'll call the police and have you arrested!"

"Fine, if you call the police, I'll call the police too."

Although Su Xiao's tone was light and casual, her attitude suddenly became firm.

"But afterwards, you'll be branded with a reputation for cannibalism and childlessness, and you'll have to spend time in jail, right?"

Seeing Su Xiao's confident smile, the uncle felt a chill run down his spine.

Could it be that my contract is actually illegal?

He took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and forced a peacemaker's smile.

"Su Xiao, don't be like that. It's not that your uncle is unwilling to give, it's just that we're not well-off either. Look, your cousin is going to university next year, and the tuition will cost a lot. Your aunt's health isn't good either; she takes medication all year round..."

Su Xiao looked at him coldly.

"You ask me to consider you, but have you considered me? My parents and Wan Ning's parents just passed away, and you're already rushing in to divide the inheritance, driving my brother and me to our deaths!"

His crime had been exposed, and the uncle's face darkened. He continued, "How about this? Ten thousand. Ten thousand yuan. Your second uncle and I can scrape together that much. Take this ten thousand yuan and live a good life with your sister. We're still family. If you have any difficulties in the future..."

"Ten thousand?" Su Xiao smiled.

The uncle paused for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, ten thousand. That should last you a while, until later..."

Su Xiao stood up.

He picked up the copy of the contract from the coffee table, folded it, and put it back in his pocket.

"It seems you don't want to talk."

He pushed the chair back under the table and turned to walk towards the door.

"Fine, I'll give you a chance, but you're useless. Just wait, I'll go find a reporter and publish your two families' glorious deeds in the newspaper. Let's see if you'll be remembered for good or infamous for eternity!"

One sentence made the eldest and second uncles' hearts tighten.

This child is completely possessed!

If that's the case, their reputations will be completely ruined!

"etc!"

My uncle's voice came from behind, carrying an barely suppressed panic.

"Fifteen thousand! Is fifteen thousand okay?"

Su Xiao stopped.

There was a few seconds of silence.

Then he turned around and looked at his uncle.

My uncle's eyes widened, and a strange expression, neither a smile nor a look of anxiety, tugged at the corners of his mouth.

My second uncle also stood up, standing in front of the sofa, his face ashen.

Su Xiao's gaze moved from her eldest uncle's face to her second uncle's face, and then back again.

"Fifteen thousand."

He said, "The money will arrive within three days. At the same time, we will draft a contract stating that it is a voluntary donation from your two families out of kinship, to be used for my brother and sister's education and daily living expenses."

"Once the money arrives, I'll give you the original contract. From now on, you go your way, and I'll go mine."

He paused.

"Don't bother anyone."

After saying that, he opened the door and went out.

As the door closed behind him, he heard his aunt's voice from the living room: "Fifteen thousand? You just gave it to him like that?"

Then came my second uncle's voice, low but filled with hatred: "He's ruthless, heartless bastard. Consider this money dog ​​food."

……

Su Wanning stood under a tree at the entrance of her uncle's residential compound.

He was looking down, holding two bottles of water in his hands.

She saw Su Xiao come out, looked up, and her gaze lingered on his face for two seconds.

"How is it?"

Su Xiao walked over, took the water from her hand, unscrewed the cap, and took a sip.

"It's settled, fifteen thousand."

Why would they be willing to give you money?

Su Wanning was stunned for a moment.

At first, when Su Xiao told her that the contract drafted by her eldest and second uncles was so shoddy that it was practically a gift of money, she didn't believe it.

Why wouldn't you want to?

Su Xiao shrugged, looking completely matter-of-fact. "We're a loving family."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but laugh.

"Let's go home," Su Xiao said, and Su Wan Ning quickly followed.

The sunlight shone from behind them, casting long, long shadows that eventually merged into one.

I can't tell which one is the brother and which one is the sister.
