"I." Wu Min was choked up, but for the sake of money, she would rather give up her face and blame Jiang Yiming instead: "Yiming, what do you mean? You don't want Mom and your sister to spend your money, right?"
"No." Jiang Yiming took out fifty yuan from his pocket and another fifty from the house, a total of one hundred and handed them to Wu Min: "I was afraid you would find the money dirty and smelly, so I didn't dare keep it at home. I put it all in the bank. This is all I have."
Wu Min took the money, a look of disgust flashed across his face, and he quickly put the money in his pocket.
"Go get some tomorrow. Your sister and I both need it."
Jiang Yiming pulled up a silent bitter smile.
"Mom, the money is all in a fixed deposit. I'll see if I can borrow some from my coworkers."
Wu Min's eyes lit up immediately. "Yiming, you're such a good son to your mother and a good brother to your sister." As she spoke, she glared at Jiang Dongcheng, "You're much better than some people."
Jiang Yiming spoke up for Jiang Dongcheng: "Mom, you should also understand that it's not easy for my dad. He can't even spend the money he earns. If it were me, I would be angry too."
"Okay, let's not talk about him anymore. Yiming, you're my good boy. I didn't give birth to you and raise you in vain. Well, try to borrow as much as possible from your coworkers. It's too cold, and I need to buy a lot of clothes."
Jiang Yiming hesitated for a moment, looking at his shabby cotton-padded jacket and trousers. His shoes were almost worn out. His father was dressed very casually, so why did his mother and sister have to dress so "noble"?
But this is his mother after all.
"Okay, Mom, I'll try to borrow as many as I can."
"Well, you are such a good son to your mother."
Wu Min reached out to hug Jiang Yiming, but when she saw his shabby clothes and remembered how dirty his previous work was, she immediately gave up the idea and withdrew her hand.
Jiang Yiming asked her, "Mom, if I do those unpresentable jobs again in the future, you won't object to me, right?"
"I." She was still very concerned about her reputation, but now she couldn't care less about money. "Yiming, as long as you don't run into anyone in our area and don't meet anyone you know, I won't object. Just work hard, and I'll support you in making money."
"He spends all the money he earns on you. How can you not support him?" Jiang Dongcheng choked.
Wu Min got angry: "Shouldn't I be able to spend the money my son earns? You don't give me money to spend, and you don't let my son spend money on me."
Jiang Dongcheng cleared his cough, said nothing more, and went into the house to see his old father.
Jiang Yiming advised Wu Min: "Mom, I will make money for you in the future, so please don't quarrel with my dad."
Since he was a child, his mother and father have often quarreled over money.
It wasn't because his father was useless and earned too little, nor was it because he was a family man, but because his mother spent too much. Moreover, she often spent money on things that were not very useful.
If his grandfather's illness had been treated in time, he wouldn't have become paralyzed. But his mother took the family money and used it for other things, which led to his grandfather's paralysis.
The next morning, not long after Wu Min went out, a man rushed out from the side of the road and stopped her.
This person is Wu Min’s younger brother, Wu Jinhu.
When Wu Jinhu saw Wu Min, it was like seeing the God of Wealth. If it weren't for his sister's support over the years, he would have become a beggar long ago.
"How is it, sister, did you get the money? If you did, give it to me quickly so I can pay off those debts, otherwise they will kill me."
Wu Min took out the hundred yuan Jiang Yiming gave him yesterday and handed it to Wu Jinhu: "Your brother-in-law didn't give me money, so I took this from Yiming."
When Wu Jinhu saw the hundred yuan, he felt it was a bit too little.
"Sister, it's only a hundred. I owe them five or six hundred. If I can't pay it back, they'll beat me to death. Do you want to watch your brother get beaten to death?"
"But, but there is nothing I can do now."
Wu Jinhu took the money in his hand based on the principle of not letting it go to waste.
"Sister, this money is not enough. Go home and ask your brother-in-law for more, or borrow from your colleagues. Sister, my sister, I am your only brother, you must help me, you can't let anything happen to me."
"Okay, okay, I get it. I've always tried my best to help you. I'll borrow from my colleagues at work and see how much I can lend."
"Okay, sister, you can borrow from my brother-in-law's relatives and friends, and you will definitely be able to get enough."
"Okay, okay, I got it."
Wu Jinhu took the money and was about to leave happily. Wu Min also wanted to leave, but after taking two steps, she turned back and said to Wu Jinhu: "Jinhu, can't you stop gambling? You've thrown a lot of money in over the years."
"Sister, winning and losing are common at the gambling table. I've lost a lot of money, but I've also won a lot."
Wu Min remained noncommittal: "I didn't see your money when you won, but when you lost you kept asking me for money to pay off your debts."
"Sister, it's not that I won and immediately wanted to win more, but ended up losing again. Sister, don't worry, I will definitely control my hands in the future. If I win, I will stop. When I win money in the future, I will buy you nice clothes and a new bicycle."
Wu Min didn't know what to say, but she only had this one brother, and she had to help him if he was in trouble.
"Okay, okay, go ahead. I have to go to work too."
"Okay, sister, I know my sister loves me the most. Sister, take care."
Wu Jinhu saw Wu Min off as respectfully as he saw off the Empress Dowager back to the palace. He counted the money in his hand happily, as he could go for another big gamble today.
As for paying off gambling debts, it did happen, but it wasn't five or six hundred yuan, only three hundred yuan.
Originally, he wanted to use the money to pay off his gambling debts, but when he got the money, he felt so itchy that he changed his mind temporarily.
Keep this hundred yuan as capital. Maybe he will be lucky today and win several hundred yuan at once.
In fact, for a gambler, once he becomes addicted to gambling, he cannot look at the matter objectively. Even if he does not have much confidence in himself, he will continue to gamble, otherwise he will feel itchy and want to gamble.
After Wu Min and Wu Jinhu separated, she was still angry that Jiang Dongcheng did not give her money today.
Jiang Dongcheng would rather give his money to others than let her spend it. She felt so wronged and suddenly thought, what's the point of living with such a man?
However, this thought only appeared for a moment. She thought so because she was too angry. She and Jiang Dongcheng had been married for so many years, and their two children were almost old enough to start a family. Although she was angry, she had to continue living with Jiang Dongcheng.
She arrived at work and just as she asked a colleague to borrow money, she was dismissed: "Wu Min, you still haven't paid me back the thirty yuan you borrowed from me last month. I have an emergency at home, so please return the money to me."
