"Chao, what are you doing? You're so clumsy! Don't you know you can scare someone to death?"
Ning Fei glared at Ning Chao, then rolled his eyes at him and said.
"Little brother, where did you go last night?"
Before Ning Fei could even roll his eyes back, Ning An, who had heard his voice, rushed over, pulled his son aside, and asked Ning Fei directly.
"Yeah, tell me quickly, what happened to the money your brother said he lent you? Where did you go yesterday? Did you go gambling?"
Zhao Xueqin's reaction was no slower than Ning An's, and after squeezing through, she immediately launched into a barrage of three soul-searching questions at Ning Fei.
"You...you woman, what are you doing at my brother's house? Look at your pig-faced face, get back home right now."
Ning Fei was so embarrassed and angry by her three questions that he yelled at Zhao Xueqin.
This time, Ning's mother sided with her younger daughter-in-law and directly questioned her younger son: "Ning Fei, where did you go all night? Is what your wife said true? You didn't really go gambling, did you?"
Ning Fei was caught off guard by the barrage of questions and stumbled back several steps in a flustered manner.
"Mom, why are you here interrogating me with that wretched woman?"
However, he didn't dare to look at the way everyone was looking at him. He turned his head slightly away, avoiding their gaze, and stubbornly continued speaking.
Seeing his appearance, everyone's hearts skipped a beat.
Ning An, in particular, clutched her chest, her eyes glazed over.
His lips trembled for a long time before he finally managed to utter a single sentence.
"What happened to yesterday's money? How much is left?"
Hearing his elder brother ask this question, Ning Fei knew that it would be useless for him to argue any further.
Once it's known, it's known!
Ning Fei lowered his head, thinking about the money he owed, and immediately lost his arrogance.
He moved his lips and whispered, "...I've lost!"
Upon hearing the words "little brother," Ning An, her mother, and Zhao Xueqin immediately felt a wave of dizziness.
How could I lose three hundred yuan in one night?
Three hundred yuan! How long would it take to save up that much?
To think he'd lost everything so easily, Ning An, being a man, swayed slightly, barely managing to hold back the blood welling up in his chest.
However, before he could even stand still...
Then I heard my younger brother say something in a low voice.
"I still owe them a thousand yuan, with one percent interest!"
Upon hearing this, everyone except Ning Chao was stunned.
The other three people, one by one, fell to the ground with thuds.
Aside from Zhao Xueqin collapsing to the ground due to leg weakness, Ning An and her mother were both so angry that they fainted.
"Grandma, Dad..."
Ning Chao rushed forward and helped Ning An, whose forehead was covered in sweat, to his feet.
But he only had two hands. He helped his own father up, while his own grandmother was still lying on the ground, unattended!
Ning Fei and Zhao Xueqin, one squatting and the other slumped on the ground, showed no intention of offering a helping hand.
Ning Chao was so angry that he yelled at Ning Fei, who was like a quail, "Uncle, why aren't you helping Grandma inside?"
"Ah...? Oh oh oh..."
Ning Fei shrank back at the shout, then quickly stepped forward, helped his mother up, and led her into the house.
Ning Chao helped his father into the room, and no one paid any attention to Zhao Xueqin, who was slumped on the floor.
When Ning Chao finished settling his father out, he found that Ning Fei and Zhao Xueqin were nowhere to be seen in the courtyard or in his mother's room.
He frowned immediately, thinking to himself that he hoped his father wouldn't be so saintly as to take out the family savings to pay off his uncle's debts after he woke up.
