"Raising children to support you in your old age is like storing grain to prevent hunger. We foster children expecting that when they grow up, they will support us in return. Why should our grown children, who haven't yet fulfilled their duties to us, be required to support you?" Lu Family's father spoke with righteous indignation, his tone sharp and unyielding. "We've nurtured these two saplings, watered and fertilized them, taken care of them with great attention, and now you come to steal the fruits? Where is the sense in that? Let's not even mention that Guan Cheng and Guan Yu have no memory of you; even if it were as you say, you would still need to repay your debt before taking them away!"
"Yes, yes, pay off the debt! Foster care fees, living expenses, pay back everything!"
