Enemies Are All Nourishment for My Fungi-Chapter 262 - Annoying Household Chores (1)

Chapter 262: Chapter 262 Annoying Household Chores (1)

Ye Yu didn’t know how Yu Qing had money, and neither did his three younger siblings. This winter break, they all lived in trepidation, the two younger brothers even said they dared not stay at home, for if Dad came back and saw them, it was either scolding or beating.

In the message to Ye Nai, Yu Qing also didn’t know how Ye Yu knew she had money, guessing that it might have been leaked by other colleagues at work since she was selling Mutant Beast Meat. After all, East Ridge City was such a tiny place, and everyone was somewhat connected.

Now, her ex-husband was blocking her at the office entrance every other day, and she had to call the police every time, paying numerous fines. The police were fed up seeing them, and the company leadership also warned that this couldn’t go on, but she was truly out of options.

Ye Nai sat up straight, tilted her head back, and took a deep breath to calm down before logging into the chat software on her computer. She had a feeling this was going to be a long conversation and typing on the computer was easier than on a phone.

She created a group with her siblings, just the four of them, and left a message that she had come out of the Santai Secret Realm, asking the three of them to share their current situations when they had a chance, especially asking if the twins had enough money for food and living expenses since the new term had started. She would talk to Mom first.

Then, Ye Nai switched to Yu Qing’s chat window, first telling her that she had come out of the Santai Secret Realm, then asking about her current situation.

It was the morning work hours, and Yu Qing replied very quickly.

[I just had a fight yesterday, paid the fine, and got out—because that bastard never learns, he got five days of administrative detention.]

[Let’s not talk about how he knows you have money for now. What’s your current situation at work, and can your side business still go on as usual?]

[I’m considering asking for a transfer, anywhere would do. The company keeps telling me that if I don’t resolve the problem with that bastard, I won’t be able to continue here.]

[Have you spoken to the leadership about the transfer?]

[I have, but it needs to wait for an opportunity, it’s not something I can just decide to do.]

[Since you’re plotting a transfer, then continue as we previously discussed. Secure the support of the top leadership, and try to get transferred to one of those five affluent cities or to Daijing.]

[To those places? I want to, but the company doesn’t have that capability!]

[Only in those few cities can the worth of that much Mutant Beast Meat be matched. You did give the meat to the leaders for free, right? No money taken?]

[None at all, didn’t take a dime. When you send the goods, whatever looks like a park or garden, that’s their address.]

[That’s good, the control is in our hands, no need to be afraid of them. As long as it’s done, I will gift them a whole stag, let them bleed and skin it themselves.]

[Huh? I saw on the internet that kind of deer is quite big, can you manage that?]

[Money talks. Daijing has everything. I’m heading next to the Purple Capital Secret Realm. If everything goes smoothly, I’ll stay in Daijing a bit longer and look into policies for transferring students. If Yu Jiao’s grades are sufficient, see if I can pull some strings to get her into those elite schools reserved for Awakener’s descendants.]

[Your connections work in the National Capital too?]

[Not because of strong connections, but because of agencies that specifically handle school admissions for Awakener’s descendants. My little bit of favoritism just lets me know a bit of inside information. I already told you, it needs money and grades. Satisfy these two conditions, and as long as one of those three identities is fulfilled, the agency will confidently take the money and manage. Otherwise, even if you brought a bag of money, they wouldn’t accept it.]

[Indeed, an agency that specializes in this knows many tricks, but the schools in Daijing will definitely have higher demands.]

[Absolutely, all the experts are in Daijing. Who among them doesn’t have money? The schools are very selective in who they take in. Being able to pay is one thing, but in the end, it all comes down to academic performance. If the score isn’t enough, no amount of money will do.]

[Got it, I’ll keep an eye on my little sister’s grades. Now that that bastard has pulled this stunt, I want to transfer even if I didn’t before.]

[You only escape him by moving away.]

[If I leave, what will happen to your brothers? Their guardianship is still in that bastard’s hands. Don’t let him corrupt them.]

[They’re already in the ninth grade, and their mandatory education has ended, which actually makes things easier. Once you’re settled elsewhere, just find a school and enroll them.]

[Are their grades good enough for high school?]

[Even if they can’t get into high school, they can attend a vocational school. The well-funded ones have large campuses and use brand-new equipment, unlike East Ridge’s only college, which uses outdated antiques.]

[That’s true, even the computers at my night school freeze for a few seconds if I operate them too quickly.]

[So, have we come to an agreement? You’ll request a transfer and not change your mind again, shifting back and forth. How can we trust you to be a reliable parent?]

[No more changes. I’m definitely leaving this time. Even with the dangers outside, it’s better than fighting that bastard every other day. If it weren’t for the concierge’s help, he would have sent me to the hospital several times. I’m even scared he might follow me home next time, and the neighbors won’t help.]

[He’s caused trouble at your door several times, and only now he’s been administratively detained?]

[Yeah, they said it didn’t qualify for criminal charges. Also, he’s looking for you, so don’t answer any calls from unknown numbers.]

[Got it. Let’s leave it at that for now. Pause your side business, and I’ve spread the word that you’ve transferred all the money to me. You don’t have any money on hand, and thankfully, there’s no way he can find anyone to ask for money from.]

[Alright, I’ll transfer all the money to you later. He could beat me to death, and I’d still have no money.]

[Have you paid taxes on that money?]

[Yes, I’m an intermediate accountant; I’m not that foolish. I’m also worried someone at work might get jealous and report me for tax evasion.]

[Good, that’s smart.]

Yu Qing was so infuriated she couldn’t speak and simply turned off her phone screen. After calming down, she turned her phone back on and sent both the accounts and the money to Ye Nai.

Ye Nai had not yet received a reply from her brothers and sisters, assuming they were still in class. She then heard her phone ring, picked it up, and saw a large transfer and a screenshot of the accounts.

Having received the money, Ye Nai suddenly had some free time. She took a bath and then went out to find something to eat.

When she returned to her hotel room, she finally saw the replies from her brothers and sister in the group chat. They were on their lunch break, hiding in the bathroom to chat with their newly reappeared elder sister.

[Big sister, you’re finally back. Mom has been beaten up by dad, and I’m really scared he might break into our home any day now,] Yu Jiao sent a voice message, clearly crying.

[Big sister, we still have money, and we don’t lack money to spend. Dad is broke now. He thinks we survive on just eight hundred a month and still wants us to give him money for food. He wishes.]

[You’re boys, and with dad being this way, it’s time to show your filial duty. If he needs to be punished, do it and help him mend his ways.]

[…What?!]

[Have you forgotten the three unfilial acts? One is causing your parents injustice. If an elder is wrong, you must persuade and correct them. Otherwise, it’s considered unfilial and falls under causing parental injustice. Your parents are divorced, and dad asking mom for money repeatedly is outrageous. What right does he have to demand his ex-wife support him? Is that backed by law? With his guardianship over you three, all listed in the same household book, it’s your duty and responsibility to ensure he behaves, rather than indulging him and letting him get mom detained by police. She’s still your mom too. Talking about this administrative detention of five days as if it’s something to boast about. Aren’t you worried he might commit a major crime someday and get a criminal record that affects you all? If this were before the war, having a criminal record would impact three generations. Now, in a wartime state, it affects even more people, and you guys wouldn’t be able to enter any institution or school that requires political vetting.]
