Chapter 64
The work at the cashier counter is sometimes easy and sometimes busy. For example, now, many customers have come in one after another.
Nan Tao barely had time to go to the restroom. After processing the checkout of the last customer, she got up to go to the restroom. As she passed by, she heard someone's cell phone ringing.
He looked around and his sight fell on Yang Shan. The ringing of his cell phone came from his computer desk and kept ringing.
Yang Shan was playing games passionately. When he heard his cell phone ringing, he frowned impatiently, but he didn't answer it and let the phone ring.
It rang for a long time, and people around gave it unfriendly looks.
Yang Shan didn't care and immersed himself in playing the game as he pleased.
Hu Ming said irritably, "Brother, whose phone call is it? You just hung up without answering it. It's been ringing so annoyingly that it's cost me the game."
Yang Shan cursed: "Bullshit!"
Just as he was reaching for his phone to hang up, he saw the note on the caller ID, and the corners of his mouth curled up in a smug smile.
Yang Shan waved his phone in the air, "Guys, my girlfriend called me. Sigh, women are just like that. They can't leave me alone for a moment. There's nothing I can do about it. It's just so troublesome."
Hu Ming said enviously, "Sister-in-law is really attached to you. It shows that she likes you so much, brother."
Qian Hong lowered his eyelids slightly to hide the jealousy and envy in his eyes.
Yang Shan said proudly: "Your elder brother is very charming."
After the call was connected, a woman's coquettish voice came from the other end of the phone.
Yang Shan's bones softened when he heard this, and he quickly coaxed her, "Don't worry, I will make sure to give you a beautiful party tonight and ensure you have the best birthday ever. I will bring my brothers to support you and make you proud in front of your best friends."
"That is absolutely necessary."
"Don't worry, I have plenty of money!"
"I'm a little busy today, I'll be there later."
After hanging up the phone, Yang Shan's face was filled with worry. "I'm so annoyed. This woman celebrates her birthday every day. Why is she celebrating her birthday again so soon?"
Qian Hong: "Last time it was her lunar birthday, this time it is her solar birthday."
Yang Shan: "Women are such a hassle. What are they doing?"
Hu Ming had no idea of Yang Shan's troubles and asked directly, "Brother, are you out of money?"
Yang Shan was so angry that he slapped Hu Ming on the forehead.
Qian Hong: "Xiao Ming, can you speak? It's not that I don't have money, it's that I don't want it."
Yang Shan gave Qian Hong a look of approval, "Ah Hong is still good at talking."
Qian Hong: "It costs a lot of money to celebrate my sister-in-law's birthday. As men, we can't be too stingy, otherwise what will happen if my sister-in-law breaks up with you?"
Yang Shan said sternly but weakly, "She dares!"
Qian Hong: "I see my sister-in-law has called a bunch of her close friends over, and the food and drinks will cost a lot of money."
Hu Ming sighed, "If only Big Brother hadn't lost his bank card."
Yang Shan said irritably, "I don't know who the hell stole the card. If I knew, I'd kill him! And that old, stubborn mother of mine discovered she had lost her card yesterday and has been questioning me about it. She even said she'd call the police!"
Hu Ming was shocked. "What should we do then, brother? We can't let your mom call the police! Otherwise, you'll be arrested. I heard that if a family member steals money and calls the police, they'll also be arrested."
Yang Shan was a little scared: "What should I do then?"
Qian Hong added fuel to the fire, "Auntie, you're really making such a fuss over such a small matter! You're determined to send your own son to jail. That's too much."
Yang Shan said angrily, "That old woman is always looking for trouble. She'd rather be hit by a car. She's so cruel! I'm her only son. If she dares to call the police, I won't recognize her as my mother!"
Hu Ming: "Brother, what are we going to do with the money for tonight? My sister-in-law needs money, and the day after tomorrow, Brother Qiang said he'd break our legs if we don't pay back."
Yang Shan's face was filled with worry. "Xiao Ming, Ah Hong, please help me. Let's gather together some money."
Hu Ming: "Brother, you know I'm broke, how can I have any money?"
Qian Hong took out five yuan from his pocket and said, "Brother, don't think it's too little. I'm giving you all the money I have. You know what's going on with my brothers. It's not that I don't want to help you, I just have no choice."
Yang Shan was impatient. "Forget it, let's finish this game first. We can talk about the money tonight."
Nan Tao listened to the entire conversation between the three people and felt speechless and sympathetic.
What kind of a traitor is Yang Shan? He gave hundreds of dollars to his good brothers to spend, but when he was short of money he asked his brothers for it. One of his brothers said he had no money, so another brother gave him five dollars as a token of his gratitude.
Doesn’t Yang Shan think this is an insult to him by his brothers?
The netizens who were watching the live broadcast couldn't help laughing when they saw the three brothers each having their own ulterior motives.
[I declare that the biggest laugh today was given to me by these three brothers, hahahaha… I can’t take it anymore, I can’t laugh anymore.]
What kind of comedian is this? Sure enough, art comes from life. It can be directly adapted into a skit and put on TV.
[This Yang Shan is so funny. I always feel like he's being played around by Qian Hong. Although I dislike all three of them, Qian Hong is my least favorite. I feel like he looks very sinister and makes people uncomfortable.]
[Why are you pretending to be cool when you don't have money? I despise people like this the most. They're just trying to save face but end up suffering.]
"Didn't you notice the blind spot? Qian Hong actually knew both his sister-in-law's birthdays according to both the solar and lunar calendars. Yang Shan's reaction just now didn't seem like he knew."
[Did you eat melons yesterday? Didn’t you say that in the comments? ]
[Isn't that true? Hahaha, that's too tragic, losing both money and life.]
[This Yang Shan is not a good person either. He stole the bank card of his family. He should be arrested.]
After complaining, Nan Tao returned to the cashier counter and continued working.
After taking Yu Ze to lunch at noon, Nan Tao made a small bed with chairs next to the cash register for Yu Ze to lie on and sleep, while she herself lay on the cash register to rest for a while.
In the afternoon, the flow of people in the Internet cafe reaches its peak.
Nan Tao was so busy that she didn't even have time to drink a sip of water. She kept working non-stop. When she finally had time to take a break and drink some water, she heard angry cursing coming from the door.
"Yang Shan, you little bastard, get out here!"
Nan Tao saw the person coming. It was a middle-aged woman wearing tattered clothes full of patches. She was very thin, but her voice was loud. She gave people the impression of being very strong and explosive. However, her eyes looked haggard, with bloodshot red eyes, as if she had been crying or had not slept for many days.
"Miss, did you see my son come in?" Mother Yang asked politely.
Nan Tao: "Who is your son?"
Mother Yang: "My son's name is Yang Shan. He dyed his hair yellow. I told him not to dye it, but he insisted on dyeing it. He always goes against me. What kind of life is he living?"
Nan Tao pointed: "The person is over there."
Mother Yang looked in the direction she was looking and looked around.
Nan Tao smelled the scent of the melon and was a little excited. "Big sister, let me take you there."
Mother Yang thanked him, "Thank you, little girl. Thank you so much."
Nan Tao waved her hand, "You're welcome, it's my job."
Yu Ze: "Mommy, I'll go too."
Nan Tao thought for a moment and said, "Okay, you stay with me and don't leave, okay?"
Yu Ze nodded.
Mother Yang envied her, "Little girl, I didn't expect you to have a son at such a young age. He's so well-behaved, much better than my ignorant son."
Nan Tao led the way and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
Mother Yang sighed and couldn't help but confide, "This child is all my fault for not raising him well. His father had an accident while working on a construction site and broke both his legs. He's still in the hospital. The construction site only paid 80,000 yuan in compensation, which I kept locked in a drawer. Today, the hospital asked for payment of the hospital bill, and I wanted to withdraw the money, but the lock was broken open and my bank card disappeared."
Nan Tao gasped, "You mean?"
Mother Yang wiped her tears sadly and said, "I suspect it was my bastard son who took it. There is no one else in the family except him."
Nan Tao didn't know how to comfort him, so she silently took him to the computer desk of Yang Shan and the others.
The netizens who were watching the live broadcast heard the conversation between Nan Tao and Yang Ma and were in disbelief.
[How could there be such a bastard son? That was his father's life-saving money. How could he just steal it?]
[Knowing it was life-saving money, you didn't hide it well enough and let your son steal it. Now you blame others?]
[That's right, I didn't hide it well, and now that I've lost it, I'm anxious.]
[She has little hair and little experience. She knew her son was in such a terrible state, but she still left the card where it could be easily found. She deserved it to be stolen.]
[You don't know what kind of son you raise. Like mother, like son.]
If the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam will be crooked.
[Hehe, are you guys blaming the victim? Are you going to start cyberbullying the innocent woman again?]
"Get lost, you're always cyberbullying this and that, acting like you're gods. The last person you wrongly accused of cyberbullying, Niu Fang, is still in the intensive care unit. Do you have any conscience? Aren't you afraid of retribution?"
[It was Yang Shan who stole the card, but you're not blaming the thief, but the victim? Is this world really that crazy?]
Mother Yang grabbed Yang Shan's arm and cried, "Shan, please return the money to me. It's your father's life-saving money."
Yang Shan pushed him away and said, "What are you doing? Are you sick? You made me lose this game."
Mother Yang was so angry that she was shaking all over. She suppressed her grief and pleaded, "Your father is sick and in the hospital, and you haven't even visited him. You spend all day playing games in the Internet cafe. It's my fault that I didn't teach you well. But you can't touch the money for the child. Please give it back to me, okay?"
Yang Shan was so annoyed that he slammed the mouse on the table and pointed his finger at Yang Ma's nose and cursed: "You old bastard, what does your lost money have to do with me? What evidence do you have that I stole it? I already said it wasn't me, you don't understand, right? Get out of here right now, I'm unhappy today and don't want to see you."
Mother Yang burst into tears. "I beg you, please give the money back to me, okay? Without this money, your father's legs will be crippled. He's not even fifty yet, and he can't spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair. He's your biological father, so please give the money to me. I'll give it back to you when I make some money later, okay?"
Yang Shan was impatient: "If he wants to sit in a wheelchair, then sit in a wheelchair. What does it have to do with me? Let him die!"
No matter how Yang's mother tried to persuade him, it was useless. The bloodshot in her eyes was frighteningly red. "Son, don't force me to call the police. I don't want to get to this point with you."
Yang Shan sneered: "Would you? I'm your only son. If I go to jail, you won't have a good time either. Old witch, don't try to threaten me with this. I won't be fooled. If you have the guts, call the police."
Mother Yang was helpless and burst into tears, then knelt down in front of Yang Shan.
"He's your father, are you going to watch him die? I'm begging you on my knees, please give me the money! I'm begging you!!"
