Chapter 1144: Can We Live With You?
“Who lent it to you?” Ning Shu asked again.
Zhu Yanqiu’s gaze flickered evasively as he said, “A classmate who’s a kindred spirit.”
Ning Shu: F*cking scram!
“How much money do you have on you?” asked Zhu Yanqiu. “Give me some money to pay off my debts first.”
Ning Shu looked at Zhu Yanqiu. This exotic person had truly updated her view of the world yet again.
Zhu Suniang had been the one to spoil him into thinking that all of this was only natural. Before, she had thought that Zhang Jiasen, Miao Miaomiao’s husband, was definitely top-ranked in levels of trash. However, at the very least, Zhang Jiasen looked after his family and showed filial piety, although he went about doing so by snatching everything from Miao Miaomiao’s family. With Zhu Yanqiu though, he cared only about himself. He had still been grieving for his mother a second earlier and in the next second, he started asking for money.
Ning Shu coughed, then said sorrowfully, “I don’t have any money on me. When Mom fell ill, I spent a lot of money getting medicine for her. After she passed away, I spent a lot on the funeral as well to find a place with good Fengshui for her. All the money at home was used up.”
Anger flashed across Zhu Yanqiu’s face. He rubbed his brows in frustration as he asked, “You really don’t have any money?”
Ning Shu shook her head. “I really don’t have any money. Siyuan and I live in a really narrow tube-shaped building. At night, there’s always the sound of the people next door snoring. We get by eating rotten vegetables that we pick up.”
Zhu Yanqiu scrutinized Ning Shu. He felt that Zhu Suniang’s skin now seemed fairer than before and her face was also rounder. Was it possible to gain such a healthy glow by eating rotten salvaged vegetables? Zhu Yanqiu felt that this woman was completely just messing with him. Did she really think that he was a fool? This in addition to all the setbacks he had suffered recently drove him to the brink of exploding.
Zhu Yanqiu had never had to be apprehensive about getting angry in the front of Zhu Suniang, so he directly shouted, “Zhu Suniang, what do you mean by this? You’re bringing your kid to the bookstore to buy books, wearing good clothes, and you’ve even gotten fatter, yet you say you’re living on rotten vegetables!? Are you messing with me!?”
Ning Shu touched her face. “It’s no wonder they say Shanghai’s climate is really nourishing, I was able to gain weight just by eating rotten vegetables.”
Zhu Yanqiu was about to die from fury. “Zhu Suniang, do you think that just because the Zhu family fell in dire straits and my mom passed away, you’d be able to do whatever you want!? I’m your husband! You’re actually being selfish and disloyal!”
So?
Ning Shu looked at Zhu Yanqiu coldly. He was using his identity as her husband now? Why didn’t he think about the fact that he was already married and had a child when he was dating Fang Feifei!?
Exactly how much did Zhu Suniang spoil Zhu Yanqiu?!
“I really don’t have any money. Even if you kill me, I still wouldn’t have any money,” said Ning Shu.
Zhu Yanqiu’s expression was dark as he said, “Zhu Suniang, stop messing around, alright? I’m really in need of money. “
Ning Shu’s expression was filled with helplessness. “But I really don’t have any money and all my savings are gone. Can I go live with you? I don’t have the money to rent a place anymore. Or, just let Siyuan live with you. I won’t live with you, but at least let Siyuan have a place to sleep.”
“Mom ~ ~” Zhu Siyuan looked towards Ning Shu with teary eyes. Ning Shu glanced down and said to Zhu Siyuan, “Siyuan, be good and greet your dad. Then you’ll be able to live with your dad and won’t have to live in that crappy house with Mom anymore.”
Zhu Siyuan: ????
Why was it always so hard to understand what his mom was saying?
#comment: Lmao, I saw on fb a while ago a quaranteen post a girl wrote about how her uncle had asked in the family wechat group for money, so she privately messaged him to ask how much he needed only to get the reply that he didn’t actually need money, he just asked so that no one would ask him for money rofl.
