Obviously, this is the best solution right now.
But when he arrived at the door of his house, Bai Mingwei was obviously still a little hesitant, because he didn't know how to start the conversation.
Jiang Bei was not in a hurry and waited here patiently.
It was getting darker and darker.
Bai Mingwei finally gritted his teeth and knocked on the door.
Not long.
The door was pushed open, revealing a woman with sunken eye sockets and wearing coarse linen clothes. When she saw Bai Mingwei, her eyes obviously lit up a little more.
"Son, are you back?"
"How was your training today? Did you make any progress?"
"Are you approaching that... bottleneck period?" asked Bai's mother.
"Mom, that's the Qi Hai stage... I'm now in the bottleneck stage of Tong Luo." Bai Mingwei's voice was a little dry.
Seeing this scene of mother and son meeting, Jiang Bei even suddenly had the thought that he was a bad guy.
As for Bai Mingwei... he is still a long way from reaching the bottleneck period!
Although he was already a cultivator in the middle stage of Tongluo at this time, his mind was severely affected by gambling, and he was even no match for Li Meng and other cultivators in the early stage of Tongluo.
It can’t be said that he was simply defeated...he was beaten unilaterally!
Such dramas are more common in the secular world, where people use various excuses, such as doing business, to cheat family members of their money or savings, and then use the money to gamble.
One lie must be covered up with a hundred lies, and the cycle continues until the family is broken up...
Gamblers are the least worthy of sympathy!
The girls followed Jiang Bei and couldn't help but frown when they saw this scene.
Bai Mingwei was still lying to his mother, so what was next? What should he say to get his mother to leave this old house?
The environment of the old house is ordinary and there is not much decoration. It can be seen that the living conditions of the mother and daughter are not good.
What those passers-by wanted to say was true. Bai's mother was well-known in the surrounding area for wanting her son to be successful. She invested all her life savings in her child, but she didn't expect this would be the result.
If as expected.
When Bai Mingwei was at the door just now, he was thinking about what lie he should use to continue deceiving his mother.
If nothing unexpected...
That is to say, you need to use spirit coins to buy some natural treasures to practice. The Tongluo realm is the time to lay the foundation, and at this time you must have sufficient spirit coins to support it...
Bai's mother only had eyes for her son. Perhaps because it was dark, she did not notice that there was a group of people following Bai Mingwei.
She was still mumbling, "Tomorrow... Mom still has to go do odd jobs for others. At the end of the month, she will be able to give me three spirit coins. Then..."
Seeing his mother was about to go back to the yard, Bai Mingwei couldn't help but interrupt her and said, "My benefactor, please come in and take a look at my old house."
Mother Bai then noticed Jiang Bei and the others. She stopped muttering and looked at Jiang Bei and the others, then at Bai Mingwei, and asked, "Son, who are these people..."
"Mom, this is my benefactor and her fellow masters and sisters. The benefactor is a very powerful cultivator..." Bai Mingwei explained.
"Benefactor?" Bai's mother was stunned and couldn't think clearly for a moment.
"Mom...if my benefactor hadn't intervened today, I might have died at the hands of those thugs from the Nominal Bank." Bai Mingwei said in a deep voice.
What name of money house... Bai's mother obviously didn't hear these words.
She only heard Bai Mingwei say "died at the hands of someone". Bai's mother's face suddenly changed and she grabbed Bai Mingwei's arm tightly: "Son, how could...something happened!"
"Tell Mom quickly! Don't let her worry!"
"Son, say something!"
“…”
Bai Mingwei kept silent.
Jiang Bei couldn't help but frown. Was Bai Mingwei speaking too fast or didn't think about it at all? After saying this, what else would he say next?
But something Jiang Bei didn't expect also happened.
Bai Mingwei was silent for a moment, then he knelt on the ground and slapped himself in the face again and again. "Mom, I am an unfilial son..."
"My son didn't use the spiritual coins I asked you for this month to practice."
"Then you..." Bai's mother stood there in a daze.
"My son went into that nominal bank last time to take out spiritual coins, and was taken to the casino by them. For the past month... he has been addicted to the casino."
"Then the money you asked me for last time..." Bai's mother looked at Bai Mingwei blankly, her voice extremely hoarse.
"Yes... I took it to gamble, and I lost it all." Bai Mingwei lowered his head and responded, admitting everything he had done.
Bai's mother could no longer bear the impact and fell to the ground.
Seeing this, Bai Mingwei rushed over, fearing that his mother would fall again.
"So you owe money to that nominal bank...they..." Bai's mother also realized the root of the problem at this time and asked in a trembling voice.
"Bai Mingwei, tell me... did you lose the bet and go to the bank to borrow silver coins? Is there a high interest rate?"
"Yes..." Bai Mingwei admitted.
Bai's mother finally couldn't bear it anymore and slapped Bai Mingwei directly in the face.
There is a crisp "pop" sound!
"How foolish! How foolish! Bai Mingwei! Even a woman like me who has never practiced cultivation has heard of it. Gambling will affect the mind of a cultivator!"
"You are still in the stage of building your foundation, how, how can you come into contact with that!"
"How can we pay back the money? The interest keeps compounding...how can we pay it back with the money we brought in?!" Bai's mother burst into tears, looking helpless.
"How much did you lose this time? How much spirit coins do you owe to the bank?" Bai's mother stood up and asked.
"forty……"
"What about tomorrow?" Bai's mother's voice suddenly became stern, like a parent scolding a primary school student who had made a mistake.
"Eighty." Bai Mingwei answered weakly.
“…”
Bai's mother took deep breaths continuously, but she couldn't think of any solution.
"We have no choice but to sell this old house... This old house is still worth eighty spirit coins." Bai's mother said in a trembling voice.
From her tone, one can clearly feel how reluctant she is.
"Mom...my benefactor is willing to accept the old house for us. Otherwise, this old house will fall into the hands of that beast Li Meng. He set a trap for me for this old house and asked me to borrow money." Bai Mingwei said gritting his teeth.
“Bang!”
Bai's mother swung her arm and slapped Bai Mingwei in the face again!
"Shut up! Did he ever put a knife to your neck and force you to gamble or borrow money? You are weak-willed and lost all your strength! But you still have the nerve to blame others for the loss?!" Bai's mother scolded.
“…”
Bai Mingwei kept silent.
"My benefactor...are you willing to...accept my house?" Bai's mother turned her gaze and looked towards Jiang Bei.
"I followed Brother Bai here this time just to take a look at this yard, but don't get me wrong, I was just passing by and did it casually. I'm not from Tiannan City, and I have nothing to do with that Yiyi Money House." Jiang Bei saw the suspicion in Bai's mother's eyes and explained casually.
