"Goodness." Yezi sighed, feeling utterly helpless. "Tell me, why don't we just cut ties with someone like him? Back when Dad was alive and running his business, he borrowed more than half of our family's savings. Not only did he drag his feet for ages before paying it back, but when you were struggling, Mom, he acted like he was deaf and dumb. I've honestly never seen anyone like him. It’s just bizarre. Every Chinese New Year, when you and the Second Uncle go to pay your respects, he acts like some kind of high-ranking official."
As he spoke, Yezi let out a long, deep breath. He had to stop; his blood pressure was rising.
"You silly boy, why would we cut ties? No matter what, he is my eldest brother. If we broke things off, wouldn't we just become a laughingstock to outsiders?" Although Song Yanxia said this, she felt quite helpless herself. "The past is in the past. As long as you are safe and sound now, that's enough. Our generation's relationship will basically end with us. You don't have much to do with your cousin anyway; once you start your own family, you won't need to visit anymore."
