Chapter 278

Bella's POV By the time I arrived at the hospital, Joey's mother had passed away. I held the crying Joey in my arms and comforted her, "Auntie has left, She must want you to live a good life.”

Joey hugged me and sobbed. "Actually, my mother has been ill for so long, and I'm mentally prepared. Maybe one day she'll leave. The worst thing I'm experiencing now is that terrible brother of mine. When my mother was alive, he never came to visit her. Now that she's dead, I called him, but he told me that he didn't have time and wanted me to deal with the funeral by myself! He's the worst brother in the world. My mother wouldn't close her eyes when she couldn't hold on. She wanted to see my brother for the last time..." At this point, Joey was still crying. "God will punish him to go to hell. You don't have to be angry about this kind of person. What matters now is to settle your mother's funeral. You must be strong, okay?" I comforted her. "I know. Bella, you must help me. My mind is in a mess. I don't know what to do." Joey held my hand and said.

"Don't worry. I'll be with you these days." I nodded seriously. I did what I said. After all, the most urgent thing now was to help Joey to arrange her mother's funeral. As for moving out of Klein's house, it could only be settled after. Fortunately, I had Jane to take care of Lucky, so I had time to help Joey.

Three days later, Joey and I took care of her mother's funeral.

All the expenses for medical expenses, cremation, and burial were paid by Joey alone. Her brother only shed a few tears hypocritically during the funeral After the funeral, I left with Joey. I didn't expect her hateful brother and sister-in-law to stop us! "What do you want to do?" Joey's voice had been hoarse for the past two days, so she was weak. "What do I want? Is it over after mother's funeral? Shouldn't you tell me something?" Joey's sister-in law put her hands on her hips like a madman. "What's there to say? Do you want to tell us how much we spent on the hospital bills and creation? Do you want to pay? Well, Joey, give them all the bills and calculate how much money they should pay you!" I shouted to Joey's brother and sister-in-law. Joey's sister-in-law spat at me. "Bah! Who are you? What right do you have to meddle in our family's affairs?"

At this moment, Joey reached out and pulled me aside. "Tell me, what exactly do you want me to tell you?"

"Mom has a few hundred dollars. She has a pair of gold earrings on her ear and a gold necklace on her neck. Your brother has the right to inherit the inheritance!" Joey's sister-in-law shouted arrogantly. Hearing this, I rolled my eyes.

The two didn't come to visit the old lady when she was seriously ill.

Now that the old lady was dead, how could they dare to mention inheritance?

Joey sneered and said, "Do you know how much money my mother spent on seeing a doctor in these years? The money is not even enough for the meals she ate in these years, especially you, you are indeed mother's son! But have you ever taken care of her for a day? When mother was about to die, she asked you to visit her. You didn't want to come! Even everything about the funeral was not prepared by you! What right do you have to ask me for the money and gold? Is your brain eaten by a dog?"

Joey's brother looked embarrassed and couldn't say a word.

Seeing this, Joey's sister-in-law immediately went up to fight back. "Joey, mother paid a lot of tuition fee for you to go to college." "Your brother has never been to school. You are a capable girl now, and your salary is higher than your brother's. You should take care of mother. Your brother is useless and has no ability. He can't take care of mother!"

Joey looked at her coldly and said in a disdainful tone, "At that time, my brother didn't want to go to school, not because my mother didn't want to pay for it. Besides, I've been in college for a few years, but I've been working hard and studying during my college years. I also applied for a loan. My mother paid part of the tuition fee, but I took care of most of the fee myself." "Now that mom has passed away, I won't quarrel with you. In the future, we will cut off our relationship ties and pretend that we have never known each other!“.

After that, Joey pulled me away. Joey's sister-in-law was a shrew. She wouldn't let Joey go. "Oh, now that you are capable, you don't want to talk to us anymore? Well, you can cut off our relationship ties. But you must give us the two pieces of gold jewelry from mother!" I felt that she had gone too far, so I helped Joey and said, "How dare you say that? Joey bought those two gold jewelry for her mother. Of course, they should belong to her now." "This is our family's business. Shut up!" Joey's sister-in-law stepped forward and pushed me. I also kicked Joey's sister-in-law. Joey's brother saw that his wife had suffered a loss and came forward to teach me a lesson. Seeing this, Joey hurried forward to help. But Joey and I naturally couldn't beat Joey's brother and sister-in-law. At this time, Joey looked around and ran to her mother's grave, crying loudly. "Mom... I'm so pitiful. You just left me. My brother and sister-in-law hit me. Dear relatives, come and have a look. When my mum was alive, they didn't care about her. When she left, they hit me and robbed me of money. Please help me!"

Joey's cries were really effective. Her relatives and friends who had not gone far heard her cries and shouts and immediately came back.
