Chapter 1281 The widowed mother who worries too much (2)

Seeing that there was only 153 yuan left in the balance, Wu Li was so worried that his head was about to go bald. Now there was still half a month before the salary was paid, and this 100 yuan would not be enough to last that long.

Thinking of this, Wu Li began to blame Zheng Shichu. He felt that he had asked her for support, but she refused. She insisted on going to see a doctor for back pain, wasting good money on the hospital. Why didn't she let him pursue a girlfriend?! She had no overall view at all. Wasn't he doing this for the family?

The more Wu Li thought about it, the angrier he got. He started calling Zheng Shichu again, but his mother had blocked his phone number, so he couldn't get through. He then tried to look for her on WeChat, but was also blocked.

Wu Li became even angrier, secretly hating himself for having such a mother who not only could not help him, but also held him back everywhere.

He didn't think that Zheng Shichu was helping him by paying for his college education, giving him living expenses, and saving money for his dowry. Once she refused to provide him with financial support, she actually became a person who held him back - even though he had never helped Zheng Shichu in any way.

So he felt justified in thinking that he was at a disadvantage by not being able to take advantage of his mother.

Wu Li had no other options as he couldn't find Zheng Shichu. It was impossible for him to survive for half a month on just over a hundred yuan. Helplessly, he had to borrow money from his colleagues. However, he had only been working for three or four months and his colleagues didn't quite trust him. Even if they did, they were only willing to lend him a few hundred yuan.

But this was enough for him to get through the next half month. After all, if a colleague borrowed a few hundred yuan from him, several colleagues could lend him a considerable sum of money. So, after having meals, he could even use the borrowed money to send flowers and milk tea to his girlfriend Xiaorou.

Anyway, he would just pay it back after he got his salary. He didn't think about whether the remaining salary would be enough after he paid his colleagues back.

Anyway, I am living a happy life. As for future worries? I will worry about them later. Now I just need to enjoy the present moment.

Zheng Shichu had no idea that his adopted son was living a carefree life of drinking and enjoying life to the fullest. He knew that if he wanted to marry his girlfriend, he would need hundreds of thousands of dollars in dowry, but he didn't save a penny and was not in a hurry at all. Wasn't he sure that his mother would cover for him?

As for Zheng Shichu blocking him and no longer caring about him, Wu Li didn't take it to heart at all. He just thought that his mother was just in a bad mood temporarily and had some emotions towards him. After this period of time, she would return to being the good mother who would give him whatever he asked for and would never refuse him.

It's a pity that his dream was beautiful. Zheng Shichu, who had a new soul, would no longer be as devoted and devoted to him as his biological mother was.

During the time that Zheng Shichu was receiving treatment, she was not idle. There was a square near the community where she rented a house. Almost every night, people would dance square dance there, and there would be parents playing with their children and young couples walking there holding hands, so it was very lively.

Zheng Shichu set up a small stall every night to sell dumplings. The dumplings were made in advance and only needed to be cooked on the spot. A serving of five or ten dumplings was cooked deliciously. Adults and children alike could not walk past her stall, so she would only set up her dumpling stall for one or two hours at most before closing it. However, she made a lot of money every day. When accumulated in a month, it was comparable to the original owner's salary as a nanny, and it was not as tiring as being a nanny.

She continued to earn money while treating her illness. After two or three months, her back pain was gone and she was making money. In the end, she simply continued to run the dumpling stall for a long time. Anyway, the money she earned was enough for her to live on. This was easy and comfortable, much better than doing any other job.

"Sister Zheng, after you sell all the dumplings, come and dance with us!" Li Yu, who was taking a rest at the side after dancing tired, saw Zheng Shichu packing up the stall and suggested to her enthusiastically.

"You have long arms and legs, so you must be good at dancing." Li Yu spared no effort to persuade her, and even pulled her by the hand, "Come on, dance with me. It doesn't matter if you don't know how to dance. You will learn it as you dance."

Seeing this, Zheng Shichu didn't want to interrupt her enthusiasm, so he smiled and started dancing with her, saying, "I'm going to dance a little, don't let me mess up your rhythm."

"Haha, no, I remember the dance steps very well!" Li Yu said while laughing and dancing.

Zheng Shichu's back disease has been cured, and she does not feel any discomfort when dancing with everyone. On the contrary, because she has rested well and taken various tonics during this period, her body is more flexible and agile than her peers, so dancing is effortless. Li Yu was a little envious when he saw it, and said: "Sister Zheng, your hands and feet are really flexible, just like young people, and you dance naturally and beautifully."

"Sister Li, actually I'm not that old." Zheng Shichu said with a smile on his face.

"How old are you?" Li Yu asked curiously.

"I'm only 45 years old this year, I'm still young." Zheng Shichu didn't think of herself as an old person. She had thrown away the old-fashioned and worn-out clothes of the original owner long ago and changed into elegant, simple and comfortable clothes. In addition, after taking good care of her body, she looked energetic and a lot younger.

Li Yu exclaimed: "Yes, you are indeed very young at only 45. I thought you were less than 40 years old."

"Haha, I have a young mentality, so I naturally look young. In fact, my son has already graduated from college." Zheng Shichu didn't mind dragging out his barbecued son to show off his youth. The original owner got married early and had children early. She gave birth to Wu Li at the age of 23, and Wu Li is now 22 years old.

"I really can't tell." Li Yu sighed, then suddenly his eyes lit up and asked, "Has your son graduated from college? Does he have a girlfriend? Do you want me to introduce one to you?"

"No, no, that's not necessary. He already has a girlfriend." Zheng Shichu replied quickly, fearing that Li Yu would really introduce a girlfriend to Wu Li. Wouldn't that be cheating the girl?

Just let Wu Li and his girlfriend stay together, that's good enough, don't separate them to avoid involving others.

Li Yu sighed regretfully, "It's a pity that the handsome boys have been snatched up by others so early. I have a niece who just graduated from college, but she is not in a hurry to find a boyfriend. She even said that she plans to never get married or have children. Her mother was scared and she asked people everywhere to introduce her to a boyfriend."

Zheng Shichu couldn't help but frown after hearing this and said, "A girl has just graduated from college, there's no need for her to rush to find a boyfriend, right? If she really doesn't want to get married or have children, then so what? Does your niece have a fortune to inherit, or an ancestral throne to inherit?"

Li Yu sighed and said, "I know that... the world has changed now. It's different from what we used to be. It's up to girls to decide whether to get married or not. But my sister-in-law just can't see it. She's old-fashioned and keeps worrying about nothing."
