Upon hearing this thunderous roar on the other end of the phone, Jiang's mother involuntarily turned her ear away, feeling nothing but fear.

After the noise subsided, she nervously pulled her ear back, and then, with a trembling heart, answered with chattering teeth, "Yes... I borrowed some from a relative."

Jiang Yimei, filled with anger, immediately questioned in an icy tone, "How much did you borrow?"

Jiang's mother didn't hide anything and stated clearly: "Twenty thousand!"

Just as she had suspected, Jiang Yimei finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After deducting the cost of 50,000, the maximum loss is only a few thousand.

However, her parents will need her financial support for a while.

Now that she's lost her job and only has tens of thousands of yuan in savings, she suddenly felt her brow furrowing and the alarm bells of life ringing.

If she takes a low-paying job, after deducting living expenses, rent, and subsidies for her family, she may not have a penny left, and may even have to take some money from the bank to cover the expenses.

She felt that her small frame couldn't handle the strenuous work.

At this moment, the person she felt most guilty towards was her boyfriend, Jiang Ze. They had agreed to save money together to buy a house, but now he had fallen victim to their mistake.

However, Jiang Ze's predicament was even more serious than hers, so she didn't need to blame herself too much.

Seeing that her daughter hadn't replied for a long time, Jiang's mother, with the phone still to her ear, looked grave, her mind filled with thoughts of what might have happened to her daughter.

The next moment, she couldn't hold back any longer and asked, "Yi Mei, are you alright? Don't scare your mother. You're my only daughter. If anything happens to you, I don't want to live anymore."

Hearing these suspicious and worried words, Jiang Yimei, who had been lost in thought, snapped out of it: "Mom! What's wrong with you? Do I look like the kind of person who's easily defeated?"

"I'm so glad you're alright! I'm so glad you're alright!"

Jiang's mother kept patting her chest; she was truly terrified.

If Yi Mei goes bankrupt, she really won't be able to pay back her relatives.

The deed was done, so it had to be done. Besides, her mother was calling her now, probably because relatives were pressuring her for repayment of a debt. She didn't want to waste words and went straight to the point: "How much money is owed?"

Out of guilt, Jiang's mother answered timidly, and as if afraid her daughter had forgotten them, she added a final reminder: "Seven...seven thousand, and...and..."

"Okay, I got it. Wait for the text message notification, I'll transfer the money!"

Jiang Yimei said something very irritating and then hung up the phone.

“Yimei, you…”

Jiang's mother, overjoyed, was about to offer a flattering remark when the call was abruptly cut off.

Hearing the disdainful "beep beep" sound on the phone, the sorrowful expression on her face vanished instantly, replaced by a pout and a complaint: "Such a temper, daring to talk like that to Mom..."

"clatter!"

After hanging up the phone and calming down, she immediately picked up her phone with a cheerful heart, holding it in her hands as if she were taking care of a child.

In an apartment in Chuyun City, Jiang Yimei, having hung up the phone, slumped onto the sofa, feeling utterly dejected.

I was hoping to buy a house and get married this year, but now it's all a tragedy.

"How can there be such a terrible mother?"

She muttered a helpless complaint, then picked up her phone and transferred the money.

A total of 10,000 yuan was donated. Anyway, 3,000 yuan should be enough for the two elderly people to eat for a month or two.

On the other side, upon receiving the remittance text message, Jiang's mother's brows immediately relaxed, and she cheered with excitement.

Jiang's father, who had been hiding in the room, rushed out excitedly, his face showing surprise and delight, and asked, "Did you get it?"

He was an accomplice, so he's no better off.
