Chapter 1280 The widowed mother who worries too much (1)
Zheng Shichu felt very complicated as she suddenly changed from a pampered old lady to a widowed mother working as a nanny. She immediately threw away the rag in her hand, took out the original owner's mobile phone with a broken screen and severe freezing, called her employer and told her that she wanted to resign.
"Sister Zheng? You want to resign so suddenly? Didn't you say you wanted to save money for your son's dowry?" the employer asked in surprise.
Zheng Shichu looked as if he had suddenly come to his senses. He said, "Because I find that what you said before was especially right. I have already raised my son and provided him with education. I have already fulfilled my responsibilities. There is absolutely no need for me to take on the responsibility that belongs to my son. If he wants to get married and doesn't have a dowry, then he can earn it himself. What does it have to do with me? If he can't get married without a dowry, then he should blame himself."
When the employer heard her words, he couldn't help but laugh and said approvingly: "Sister Zheng, you are right to think this way now. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. You have fulfilled your responsibilities as a mother. Now you only need to be responsible for yourself. I remember that you often complained about back pain. Now it is time to quit your job and get treatment."
"I know, if I don't take care of my own body, who else can I rely on?" Zheng Shichu is not the original owner, so he will not sacrifice his health for the happiness of others.
After the employer came back in the evening, he paid Zheng Shichu's salary, and Zheng Shichu left the employer's house the next day.
The original owner had been working as a full-time nanny and had always lived in her employer's home. Now that she had resigned, she had to find a house to rent on her own.
She looked at the original owner's bank card and found tens of thousands of yuan in it. She thought it was the salary of the past few months, and she wanted to save it for her son as a betrothal gift. Fortunately, she came in time and the original owner had not transferred the money to her son. Otherwise, Shi Chu couldn't guarantee that she would not become a hacker and steal the money back into her own card.
Zheng Shichu found a fairly good house to rent and began to check the original owner's health. The original owner lost her husband at a young age and raised her son alone with great difficulty. She had done all kinds of hard work over the past twenty years and was left with a lot of illnesses, among which back pain was the most serious. After all, the original owner was a nanny and this was an occupational disease.
In order to save money for her son, the original owner was reluctant to go to the hospital for treatment, so she just bought some painkillers and endured the pain.
Now it was Shi Chu's turn. Of course, she couldn't bear it any longer. After she settled down, she went to the drugstore to buy medicine to treat herself.
Just as she finished making a prescription, the original owner's son Wu Li called her and asked her bluntly, "Mom, give me some money. Money is tight lately."
Zheng Shichu's face turned cold when he heard this. He said, "I have no money. I just resigned. But you have been working for several months. How can you be without money?"
"Mom! I just started working. How can that salary be enough for two people? I also have to support Xiaorou. Don't you want your daughter-in-law to come home earlier and give you a big fat grandson? In order to realize your wish earlier, don't I have to invest some money? Please support me!" Wu Li said with a grin.
"I don't have any money either. I've had back pain lately so much that I quit my job and went to the hospital for treatment." Zheng Shichu said to him tentatively, wanting to see if the original owner's son had a conscience.
But she was disappointed. What Wu Li cared about was not her backache, but her resignation: "What? You actually resigned? And you still want to treat your backache? Backache is not a serious illness. You can just bear it. Why go to the hospital? Isn't this a waste of money? Mom, don't forget, I need hundreds of thousands of betrothal gifts to marry Xiaorou. What will I do with the betrothal money if you resign?"
Zheng Shichu was so angry that smoke was coming out of his nose: "What does it have to do with me if you ask for a dowry to marry a wife? I'm not the one marrying you! I've done you a great favor by raising you with great difficulty, and now you expect me to earn the money for the dowry to marry a wife? What's the point of having you? You're a loser! Why do you want to marry a wife? If you don't have money, just be a bachelor!"
"You even rely on your mother to ask for money from your wife. Are you still a man?" Zheng Shichu scolded Wu Li harshly.
When Wu Li heard her words, he was stunned, because in his impression, his mother had always been responsive to his requests and had never lost her temper with him so much.
Wu Li, who was used to being spoiled, could not stand Zheng Shichu's "insult" and said angrily, "Mom! The bride price is so expensive now. How can I earn so much with my salary when I just started working? Shouldn't you help me? I also want to marry a wife to continue our family line. You don't want to see me unable to get married in the future, right? Nowadays, which family's son doesn't pool the bride price together to marry a wife? I'm not the only one. What's the point of you being angry with me?"
Zheng Shichu sneered, "I don't care whether you get married or not, let alone whether you can continue the family line. This is really funny. Your father has been dead for decades. Who cares whether his family line will continue? If you can't earn the bride price, don't get married. If you want to blackmail me, you're overthinking it.
Wu Li, I just said I want to quit my job to treat my back pain, but you only care that I won't be able to make money after I quit my job, but you don't care at all whether my back pain is serious or not, or whether it will affect my health. In the final analysis, money is not as important as me, your biological mother, in your eyes, right? Okay, you are really filial. "
When Wu Li heard her words, he immediately said impatiently: "How serious can the back pain be? If it hurts, just bear with it. Why don't other people's mothers have so many problems like yours?! If my family wasn't poor, why would I not care about your health and care more about money? Can you blame me for this? If I was born in a wealthy family, I would not care about money and only care about your health..."
Zheng Shichu sneered: "So you are blaming me for not letting you become a rich second generation? It's a pity that your reincarnation skills are not very good."
She hung up the phone immediately after she finished speaking.
Wu Li was so angry when he heard the blind tone coming from his cell phone that he smashed the phone. He didn't understand why his mother, who had always been submissive and hardworking, suddenly exploded and refused to support him anymore.
The phone that was thrown on the ground rang again. Wu Li looked at the screen and saw that it was a call from his girlfriend. He quickly picked up the phone and answered the call. His tone was gentle, completely different from when he spoke to his mother just now: "Xiao Rou, why are you calling me?"
"Wu Li! Didn't you see the shopping link I sent you? I like that lipstick, you'd better pay me quickly, otherwise it will be out of stock!" the girlfriend asked angrily.
Wu Li hurriedly coaxed her, "I was busy just now and didn't have time to read it. I'll read it right now and buy it for you right away. Wait a minute..."
As he said that, he switched back to the link his girlfriend sent him, clicked on it, and found that the lipstick cost three or four hundred yuan. He felt a pain in his heart, but finally paid the money.
