The corners of Sang Rou's eyes drooped, and years of hard work made her cheeks sunken. The beautiful almond-shaped eyes in her youth had lost their elasticity over the years and became loose and weak double eyelids.
She stared at Sang Tianen anxiously, twisting her hands helplessly. Most of her gray hair was wet with sweat and stuck to her forehead. She looked both embarrassed and uneasy.
It had been a long time since Sang Tianen had stared at his mother for such a long time. This woman who had always lived like air seemed to have aged a little and was looking at him with a pair of confused and sad eyes.
Sang Tianen felt guilty and said that he went bankrupt just to cut off his brother's escape route.
Now Sang Muyang is willing to work in a club and even steal her money for that woman. No one knows what he will do in the future.
She did this simply to tell her brother that he could be with this woman, but don't expect his family to give him a penny because all the money in the family had been "squandered" by her.
Although this method is a bit unethical and it is not easy to deceive the flower, it is enough for the younger brother to believe it. Even if the flower tries to seduce him again in the future, he will not think of going home to get money. It would be best if the two of them broke up because of the money issue.
"Tian'en, I heard from your dad that you lost all your savings in stock trading, right?" Sang Rou hesitated for a long time before finally speaking the first sentence.
"Yes, and I also owe someone another million." Sang Tianen admitted it readily. If you want to act, you have to play it to the end. Sang Rou and Zuo Danqing are both people who can't keep secrets, so they must not mess up at this critical point.
When Sang Rou heard this, her eyes turned dark, her tall body swayed twice, and she could hardly stand. Tears gushed out in an instant.
"Is there really not a penny left?" She tried to open her eyes wide, trying to hold back the tears that kept rolling down, and her lips trembled uncontrollably.
Sang Tianen paused and nodded.
Just like the slow-motion scenes in a movie, Sang Rou blinked her eyes, then squatted on the ground with her mouth flat, buried her head between her knees, and sobbed like an ostrich.
“…” Sang Tianen’s mind went blank. She originally thought that Sang Rou would say something to her, but she never expected her mother to be like this.
It was quite unexpected.
Sang Tianen couldn't bear to see an honest person being wronged, especially when that person was her mother.
So he immediately squatted down and comforted her, "Well, actually, three million is not a lot. I earn hundreds of thousands a year now. If I do some part-time jobs, I can earn it back soon."
Sang Rou ignored her and continued to cry suppressedly, as if she wanted to pour out all the tears that had accumulated over the years.
It was really a headache. Sang Tianen touched his forehead helplessly and said with a tangled face: "Don't worry, I will definitely earn this money back. I won't let you and dad have no money for retirement."
Sang Rou finally reacted a little. She raised her tearful face and stammered, "Your father said the same thing, but my child, you really can't speculate in the stock market anymore. It's not something people from a family like ours can play with."
"I know, I know." Sang Tianen nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry, I'm penniless now, I won't speculate anymore."
Sang Rou raised her arm and wiped her eyes. "What about the money from your classmate who's getting married? Is she in a hurry to get it? If all else fails, I'll sell the shop. Even though it's a small place, it's worth some money."
When Sang Tianen heard that her mother wanted to sell the breakfast shop, she felt mixed emotions.
On the one hand, she felt that her seemingly silent mother was willing to do this for her, and on the other hand, she felt that she should not tell this lie.
It is easy to tell a lie, but a lie often requires more lies to cover it up. She is at such a stage now.
She took a deep breath and said, "It's okay, she's not in a hurry. She bought a lottery ticket yesterday and won over 100 million. She said it's okay to pay it back after a while."
"There's such a thing?" Sang Rou's eyes widened, her face full of envy. "What good luck!"
Sang Tianen pulled her up and said, "Don't cry, old man. If the neighbors see you, they will think I did something to you. Don't worry about the money. I will definitely take care of it."
"Tian En, you must not go back to the job. You're going to get married soon. You can't do this, okay?"
"I know, I know." Sang Tianen responded repeatedly, and she was already beginning to feel a little annoyed with her mother's nagging.
Sang Rou also saw it, but she decided to say what she had been thinking about all day: "Can you return Xiao Qiao's passbook to her? This is her money, we can't take it."
"Did Sang Muyang ask you to come and ask for it?" Sang Tianen raised his eyebrows and said, "I spent so much money on him. Now I'm in trouble. What's wrong with asking him for a little money? What's more, he still owes me hundreds of thousands."
"No, no." Sang Rou waved her hands repeatedly, "You misunderstood Yangyang. When we were in the store, Xiao Qiao and Yangyang said they wanted to give you the money, saying that they had caused you a lot of trouble before."
"Oh?" Sang Tianen showed a surprised look, "Sang Muyang has such awareness?"
"Hey, Tian'en, although Yangyang isn't very sensible, he's your brother after all, and he wouldn't want to see you become like this." Sang Rou sighed, her eyes scanning her expression. "I think Xiaoqiao is a good kid. He's hardworking and kind. How about this?"
Sang Tianen narrowed his eyes slightly, then smiled kindly and said, "Mom, you're right. I'm becoming more and more satisfied with this future sister-in-law."
Seeing her daughter relax, Sang Rou let out a breath and said unconsciously, "That's good, that's good."
After they finished talking, they returned to the courtyard. Qiao Sirui and Zuo Danqing were killing fish and crayfish, while Yan Zheng and Sang Muyang were helping.
It was a truly mundane scene. Sang Tianen walked over, and when Qiao Sirui saw her, she stood up and called out nervously, "Sister."
Sang Tianen smiled and said gently, "We'll be a family from now on, there's no need to be so nervous."
Everyone was surprised when they heard this. Sang Muyang was the first to react. She stood up with a look of surprise and said happily, "Sister, do you agree?"
"Of course, there was a misunderstanding before, but now it has been resolved. I won't stop you anymore. Xiao Qiao is indeed a good girl."
Hearing this, Sang Muyang, regardless of his dirty hands, hugged Sang Tianen and said with tears in his eyes, "Thank you, sister!"
"What's there to thank me for? I'll be happy only if you're doing well." Sang Tianen said as he looked at Qiao Sirui with a smile in his eyes.
Qiao Sirui, clutching a kitchen knife, blinked her dark eyes as she looked at her innocently. Her pupils seemed larger than those of an average person, and now, under the shadow of the leaves, they appeared quite dark, giving off an indescribable sense of strangeness.
