Chapter 393 Both Mother and Son are idiots
Upon hearing what her beloved son said, Du Hehua instinctively reached for her bundle.
He then pulled out a few copper coins.
She looked at Du Yaobang with a troubled expression, then shoved the few copper coins she had taken out into his hand: "Spend them sparingly, we're out of money..."
Du Yaobang grabbed the money, weighed it in his hand, and thought it wasn't enough!
"What can you do with this little bit of money? You'd be better off staying in a guesthouse or sleeping on the streets. It'll be gone in the time it takes to eat two shrimp cakes."
Du Yaobang spoke in an unfriendly tone and continued to reach out for money.
Du Hehua felt guilty upon hearing her son's words.
Subconsciously glancing into the courtyard, Zhao Ming sat on the threshold, his face ashen, as if he hadn't heard a thing.
"Honey, how about..."
Du Hehua spoke in a conciliatory tone, trying to help her son get money from Zhao Ming.
"Dislike it? If you dislike it, I'll just stay at home obediently. I'll have food and a place to sleep, and you won't have to pay for it."
Zhao Ming raised his eyes, his tone laced with sarcasm.
A fisherman's child actually started to complain that a few copper coins weren't money.
They're absolutely spoiled.
"Auntie!"
Du Yaobang said anxiously, "This amount of money is really not enough!"
He started to show weakness, which was his usual act, and Du Hehua immediately couldn't take it anymore.
He ran back inside for a while before coming out again.
Du Yaobang's eyes were filled with anticipation, but unexpectedly, his expression changed instantly.
"Are you still my mother? You make excuses when I ask you for money, you're so stingy."
Du Yaobang was furious and snatched the little money from Du Hehua's hand.
He then glanced at the eerie courtyard, fearing that Xiao Jun's ghost might chase after him.
Without looking back, he staggered towards the river, not daring to linger for even a moment.
Du Hehua couldn't hold back any longer and covered her face, sobbing softly.
"Are you out of your mind? What are you crying about now?"
Zhao Ming looked at the woman crying with her face covered at the door with disgust and spoke impatiently.
"You're the one with water on your brain! I just feel sorry for my son, so he has to go through this, and he won't even give you a little money when I ask him for it!"
Because of what had just happened, Du Hehua rarely dared to speak out.
Zhao Ming manages most of the family's money. If she hadn't been secretly saving money, her son wouldn't have been able to get any money from her just now.
"Alright! You've really lost your mind. Get back to what you're doing!"
Zhao Ming was annoyed by her idiotic expression.
"Just ask them for a hundred taels! Otherwise your son won't have any money to spend in the future."
Zhao Ming's tone was clearly sarcastic, but unfortunately Du Hehua couldn't tell.
"You're right, we need to ask for more."
Du Hehua was immediately delighted. She happily picked up the bundle from the ground and quickly walked towards the river.
"Both mother and son are idiots! Utterly stupid."
Zhao Ming cursed, and suddenly a gust of wind blew by.
He subconsciously looked at the straw mat and sighed deeply.
"Xiao Jun! Don't blame me. If you hadn't taken my surname, you might not have lost your life today."
In the end, Zhao Ming still believed what the fortune teller had said.
No sooner had he finished speaking than another gust of wind blew by.
Zhao Ming thought Xiao Jun could really hear him, so he continued to explain.
“A while ago, your mother was blinded by money and secretly accepted twenty taels of silver from the Li family. Now the money is all gone, and the Li family is coming to our door soon. We can’t pay them back!”
Zhao Ming rambled on and on, then changed the subject, saying somewhat embarrassedly.
"Anyway, you're almost of marriageable age. If you didn't have the fortune to enjoy it while you were alive, then after you die, I'll take care of you as your mother, find you a husband, and the two of you can live happily ever after."
As soon as he finished speaking, several heads popped up on the wall.
"Well, Zhao Ming, you're really shameless. You two are capable of making Xiao Jun go through a ghost marriage for money."
……
"It's disgusting. Xiao Jun is really unlucky to have parents like you."
……
Zhao Ming thought there was no one else around, which is why he couldn't help but say these things.
Seeing four or five heads popping up on the wall now, I felt ashamed.
He angrily grabbed a harpoon and chased people away.
Once the women learned the truth, they didn't press the matter further.
They ran out of the house next door, one after the other.
It's obvious at a glance that he went to gossip with someone.
Zhao Ming then realized what was happening and felt utterly hopeless. "This time it's really over. I've lost face big time."
