Chapter 2029 The Life of a Tycoon 16

Lin Shouyue's parents did not know what he did for a living. He was kicked out of the house by his parents when he turned eighteen, on the grounds that he should support himself now that he was an adult.

His parents have been burdened by him for eighteen years. They have done everything they could and hope that he can be more sensible and go out to support himself. It would be even better if he could earn more money to help support the family.

He lives at home, and his whole family suffers because of him. He should leave his family alone and think more about them.

At first, Lin Shouyue was also full of guilt. He worked part-time to earn tuition fees and occasionally transferred several thousand yuan to his family.

But one time, after receiving his salary, he bought some gifts, intending to bring them home to surprise his parents. However, when he got to the door, he overheard their conversation.

At that time, Lin's mother said to Lin Sheng with a disdainful tone, "Ever since your brother, that troublemaker, moved out, our family has been peaceful and smooth. You will definitely get into a good university in the college entrance examination. Son, you have to work hard. My mother's future depends on you."

Upon hearing this, Lin Sheng said proudly, "Don't worry, I'll make sure you enjoy a comfortable life in the future. Also, I've been under a lot of academic pressure lately, so ask me for some extra money to buy me some brain-boosting oral liquid. All my classmates drink it."

Lin's mother asked curiously, "What kind of oral liquid is it? Is it expensive? How much does a box cost?"

“I heard from my classmate that a box only costs a few hundred yuan. Anyway, my brother will have to rely on me in the future, so if you ask him for it, he will definitely give it to you.”

"Of course I know. If he dares not to give it to us, I'll beat him to death. That's all he's good for. Your father and I don't expect anything from him in this life. We'll be grateful if he doesn't come back and cause trouble for our family."

“My brother is really something. Can’t he just bring his salary home every time he gets it? He makes Mom have to ask him for it. He’s not filial at all. He’s brought bad luck to the family since he was little, and he’s so immature. With his personality, he can’t do anything but wash dishes and sweep floors.”

"That's right. It's only because we're his family that we can't get rid of him. Otherwise, I really wouldn't want this son. He's always gloomy and keeps his head down. People think he's a pervert. I'm embarrassed to admit that he's my son." Lin's mother couldn't help but feel exasperated when she thought about her son's personality. If he were someone else's son, she would probably avoid him if she saw him.

Lin Shouyue listened to their complaints from outside the door, feeling deeply hurt. He didn't knock, but instead took his things and left, as if he had never been there.

Later, he gave less and less money to his family, and Lin's mother often went to make trouble for him.

On one occasion, someone even went to the milk tea shop where he worked and scolded him for being unfilial.

"I raised you with great difficulty until you were eighteen. Now that you're all grown up and can earn your own money, you don't recognize your mother anymore, do you?"

“When I ask you for money, you make excuses and say you’ve spent it all. How much money could a college student who hasn’t even been in a relationship have? Where did you spend all the money? You have to explain it to me clearly, or you can’t work here anymore.”

"You really have no conscience. I shouldn't have given birth to you back then, so that the family wouldn't have been dragged down by you and kept poor for so many years."

Lin's mother blamed all their misfortunes over the years, her own incompetence, and the family's poverty on Lin Shouyue.

It was as if his very existence was the root cause of the family's poverty.

Lin Shouyue just lowered his head and let her scold him, but he had no money.

Later, Lin Shouyue became an e-sports player and earned some money, which allowed her to buy this upscale apartment in a neighborhood near the school. Her mother had to follow her several times to find the place.

At that time, Lin's mother was so angry that she almost beat him to death.

“You always say you have no money, yet you live in such a nice house. How can you face your father and me for raising you all these years with such hardship?”

"Go and cancel the lease on this house right now. You don't need such a nice house for yourself. You're such a spendthrift."

"No refund." This was the first time Lin Shouyue had simply and firmly refused his mother.

"Why not return it? The rent in this neighborhood is so expensive. The money you save is enough for your brother's living expenses at school."

"I like quiet and I don't like being disturbed. I won't back down."

"Wouldn't it be quieter to rent in another neighborhood? Who would bother you when you're home alone? You're clearly just indulging in pleasure. I was wondering why you didn't have any money to give to the family; it turns out you've been squandering it all."

In Lin's mother's opinion, as a migrant worker, it would be considered good if he could save a thousand or so yuan a month after paying rent, utilities and living expenses.

Now that he's renting such a nice place, he's naturally living paycheck to paycheck; how could he possibly have anything left over for them?

In Lin's mother's view, it was impossible for him to find such a high-paying job, let alone afford this house, so she did not think that the house belonged to Lin Shouyue.

Lin Shouyue was unwilling to return the house, and his mother even wanted to take it upon herself to help him cancel the lease.

Later, the property management informed me that the landlord would not refund the money and would not allow subletting; it was up to me to either live there or leave it empty.

Lin's mother also considered having the whole family move in, but her son's high school was close to their old neighborhood, and their workplace was also close to their old home. In addition, they had lived there for decades and were familiar with the neighbors, so they did not want to leave their familiar environment.

Moving here would incur many unnecessary transportation costs, so after weighing the pros and cons, I have no choice but to accept it.

From beginning to end, they didn't listen to Lin Shouyue's opinions at all, and were completely self-centered.

In their minds, the house Lin Shouyue rented was their house, and they had absolutely no sense of boundaries.

Lin's mother both disliked her son and wanted him to be unconditionally obedient and filial.

Over the years, he has used all the money Lin Shouyue gave him to support his youngest son.

The responsibility that should have been their own was shifted onto their eldest son, who had just started college.

Lin Shouyue has rarely returned to that place in the past two years, and they don't care. It makes no difference whether he is there or not.

Of course, if he doesn't bring the money back, he'll receive several phone calls from his parents every month, scolding him.

But he didn't care; he just let it go in one ear and out the other, or he could just put the phone next to him and let them yell at him to their heart's content.

In fact, Lin Shouyue had excellent grades from childhood to university and received scholarships every year, so they didn't spend much money on him.

Compared to the money they spent on their youngest son, this was negligible.

But they were convinced that the eldest son was a jinx to his parents, while the younger son was a lucky star in the family, and their differential treatment was obvious.

The youngest son is a treasure, the eldest son is nothing but weeds.

Lin Shouyue's social anxiety and autism were largely caused by them.

Instead, they disliked their son, finding him gloomy and like a pervert.

They are unwilling to treat him sincerely, yet they expect him to be a slave to the family. Who could tolerate such unfair treatment?
