Yixiaoli's mother certainly wouldn't let her call Ye Zijun. The purpose of her coming was to get money from Yixiaoli, and if Ye Zijun were involved, how could she ask for it? Besides, Ye Zijun wasn't foolish; if he found out, he definitely wouldn't agree to hand over any money. 0
 
Yixiaoli had always listened to her mother. Since her mother said not to call Ye Zijun, she didn't think much of it and took a leave of absence to follow her mother home. 0
 
Upon arriving, she saw three lowlifes waiting in the house, and her younger brother was chatting and laughing with them. As soon as they entered, the atmosphere shifted; the laughter stopped abruptly. Her brother immediately ran up to Yixiaoli, saying, "Sister, you finally came! You have to help me this time. They said if I don't give them money, they'll break my legs." 0
 
Yixiaoli wasn't naive; she certainly wouldn't just hand over money for no reason. Moreover, she believed her brother was a good kid and that these three lowlifes had tricked him. 0
 
"Who are you? Why are you trying to deceive my brother? Leave now, or I'll call the police," Yixiaoli said firmly to the three men. 0
 
"Deceive? Ha! Are you joking?" one of them sneered. "Why don't you ask your brother how we deceived him? And go ahead and call the police; let's see who they arrest when they arrive." The apparent leader of the trio stood up and looked at Yixiaoli with a sideways glance. 0
 
Realizing there was something off, Yixiaoli immediately turned to her brother. "Xiaofeng, what's going on? Explain it clearly!" 0
 
Xiaofeng had been spoiled for too long; he wasn't afraid of Yixiaoli at all. He impatiently replied, "Why do you care so much? Just give me five hundred yuan quickly. If I pay them, it'll all be over." 0
 
"Five hundred? Xiaofeng, why don’t you go rob someone instead? What did you do that requires you to pay five hundred yuan? Do you even know how much that is? You just open your mouth and demand five hundred!" 0
 
"I brought all my savings home; I don’t have any money left!" Yixiaoli couldn't believe Xiaofeng would ask for such a large sum so casually. 0
 
"You don’t have any? But doesn’t my brother-in-law have some? Didn’t you say you care about me the most? How come you’re unwilling to give me such a small amount?" Xiaofeng retorted nonchalantly. "I’m the man of the house; you’ll need me to support you in the future. If you can’t even help me with this little bit, don’t blame me for not helping you later." 0
 
 
Yi Xiaoli felt helpless towards her younger brother. She had spoiled him since they were little, and their mother had always told her that her brother would be her support in the future, so she needed to take care of him and treat him well. 0
 
Yi Xiaofeng had heard this kind of talk from her more than once or twice, and she had grown accustomed to it. "Xiaoli, please help Xiaofeng. You can't just watch him go to labor reform," their mother pleaded. "He's your brother. If he goes to labor reform, our family will be ruined. Having a convict in the family will tarnish your father's reputation. And you, with a brother like that, will also be affected." 0
 
Yi Xiaoli's mother continued to beg from the side. "Mom, what exactly did Xiaofeng do? You have to tell me the truth so I can help him." Yi Xiaoli felt that this time, the situation with Yi Xiaofeng was serious. 0
