"WHY WOULD I CARE, EVEN IF YOUR SON DIED?!"
"Sister please don't talk like that, why would you think of such a thing."
Mu Shi that had been apologizing since was immediately offended when she heard the stupid woman cursing her son.
"Oh!!! So you want to beat me now, hun?! Come and beat me now, come, come."
The stupid woman began to shout like a crazy person, drawing attention from everywhere to them.
When the stupid woman saw she had garnered enough attention, she began to portray a self-pity act.
"Everyone see, that woman borrowed money from me. She said she wanted to use it urgently and would pay me back today. Then I came here to collect the money and she began to curse at me and even went so far as to try beating me."
Mu Shi was dumbfounded when she heard what the woman said.
Before she could even open her mouth to defend herself and keep apologizing, everybody had begun to blame her more.
"What you did there is not good enough, you should have given her the money since you were the one that promised her."
"See, that's why I don't like borrowing people's money, when it's time for them to return it, that's when they would start dodging, making excuses, or even going so far as to fight you."
"Pay her money already."
Tears had begun to overflow Mu Shi's face by now, she hadn't expected to be embarrassed by big sister Gu.
"Big sister, I said I would give you the money tomorrow. I really used the money to pay for my son's hospital bill, please just give me the grace till tomorrow, you can do anything you want if I did not pay up."
"That's how they always make excuses when it's time to pay up."
"No!! I will not leave today if you did not pay my money."
The crowd and big sister Gu began to give Mu Shi another round of attack again.
My Shi was so disgraced at this moment that she began to just pray for the ground to open up and swallow her.
…..
Li Yu and his friends decided to take tricycle back home since they knew the time had gone pretty much and they wouldn't want to waste more of it. Moreover, they had just won that huge amount of money, so they could afford to pay the little tricycle fee.
Li Yu began to hear commotions from some distance away from his house, but he did not think about it at all. He only thought it was some people that were so excited.
"Big brother, it seems I heard aunt's voice from that commotion just now."
"What, you heard my Mother's voice?! Are you mistaken? Why would my mother that, a quiet and gentle with few words be amidst people that are shout, and even join them to shout?"
"Yu bro, I also seem to hear her voice just now, listen."
Li Yu kept quiet to listen, then he heard the barely inaudible voice.
"That's truly my mother." Li Yu hurriedly gave Huizhong the transport fee and flee out of the tricycle.
Li Yu began praying that something bad hadn't occurred at home, because that voice he heard seemed to contain a sob.
Li Yu ran as fast as he could to reach his house.
"No means no! I will certainly collect all my money today. How dare you give me $10 out of $50."
That was what Li Yu heard when he reached the commotion.
"What the f*ck is going on here, was it my mother being shouted at?" Li Yu thought in anger.
What he saw when he reached there shocked and scared the hell out of him.
Li Yu saw his mother sobbing so hard and begging while everyone was insulting, cursing, and shouting at her.
"What do you all think you are doing?!" Li Yu shouted in anger as he pushed everyone out of the way and rushed to his mother's side.
"Who the h*ck are you?" Someone questioned in anger as that person was amongst those who Li Yu pushed out of the way.
"Hun! Aren't you the one your mother said was hospitalized?! Look at you running and pushing people around healthily. You even have a strength that surpasses someone that carries a gym often ."
The person being addressed as big sister Gu suddenly mocked coldly.
"So he was the son that was said to have been hospitalized. Does this person look like someone that was hospitalized?!"
Another person questioned in anger.
"You, just go and rest inside, I will settle this quickly." Mu Shi said to her son lovingly and quickly wiped all the tears on her face away.
She does not want her son to see her like this.
"Mother, what happened?" Li Yu asked curiously, but the anger in him could hardly be hidden anymore.
"It's nothing son, just go inside quickly." Mu Shi urged Li Yu as she does not want her son to see her like this.
"What the f*ck do you mean by there nothing?" Big sister Gu shouted in anger and faced Li Yu.
"Your good mother f*cking borrowed money from me since yesterday and refused to pay up. She even goes as far as to lie that it was you she spent the money on."
"So- so what you are trying to tell me here was that you caused all this commotion because my mother borrowed money from you, right?" Li Yu asked so coldly that big sister Gu couldn't help but shiver out of fear.
"Is it not enough reason?!"
Hearing that, Li Yu laughed so coldly that everyone there felt a shiver run over their body.
"Hehehe, that's so nice of you, it's really nice of you. Because my mother borrowed money from you and couldn't pay up on time, you disgraced her to this extent. Have you forgotten how my mother always borrows you money and would not ask for it back so as not to inconvenience you?! Have you forgotten how my mother always allows you to pay up at your convenience?!"
Li Yu was so angry at the moment that he could barely contain the anger in him anymore.
"Son, I said you shouldn't bother yourself, just go in."
"No mom, I'm not going anywhere."
"And you all, I'm sure you all have your own problems at home, but here you are insulting and chastising my mother. Were you all there every time my mom would borrow her money and she would refuse to pay up?! Were you all there when my mom would give that woman the last dime she has, even at the expense of our feeding?!"
The crowd instantly felt bad when they heard what Li Yu said.
Big sister Gu also began to remember all the good things Mu Shi had done for her, but when she remembered that she was now well enough for herself, and wouldn't need Mu Shi's help anymore now that her son had gotten a good-paying job, all the remorse she was feeling immediately disappeared.
"How dare you bastard speak to me like that?!" Big sister Gu shouted at Li Yu in anger.
"How- how dare you call my son a bastard?! You've been cursing and insulting to your heart content since, and I did not care. But if you so much dare to bring my son into this, you would really see the other side of me."
"Don't you dare cure my big brother/ Yu bro."
Zhalan and Huizhong arrived not long after Li Yu, so they heard everything clearly. They already had no intention of getting involved since they knew their brother would fight for his mom and pay the money. But they changed their mind when they heard the woman calling their brother a bastard, how dare she?
When big sister Gu noticed that there were now four people against her, and the crowd that was fighting for her earlier refused to get involved anymore, she immediately felt another shiver run over her spine.
"You- you all, how dare you all gang up against me when it's her that is at fault."
"You said my mother lied that and said I was not hospitalized, hmm? Do you think one would curse at her child for such a measly amount of money hun?!"
Li Yu continued in anger.
He suddenly removed the envelope from his pocket, not scared that the money might be snatched away, he flaunted it in front of Gu.
"See, this is the money my mother just sent me to go collect, do you think she wouldn't be able to pay that peanut money of yours?!"
Li Yu teared up the paper envelope which got everybody there, including Mu Shi who does not understand what her son was talking about gasp.
"Why didn't I remember sending my son to go collect such a huge amount of money?! Where did he find that money?! Mu Shi thought in fear.
While everybody was thinking about other things at the moment.
"Would a person that owns this huge amount of money curse her son so that she wouldn't pay a measly $50"
"F*ck, does that mean she was only waiting for her son, that's why she had not paid up and only promised tomorrow."
The people who had cursed and blame Mu Shi earlier had totally forgotten how they overreacted, they were now busy supporting Mu Shi.
Gu was already stunned silently at the moment, she didn't expect Mu Shi to own such a huge amount of money. Why didn't she speak up earlier?
Gu was angered and embarrassed. She blamed Mu Shi for letting her embarrass herself in front of everybody.
She had forgotten that she would have said Mu Shi was lying earlier if Mu Shi had told her she has anything close to this amount of money.
"Son- son.."
Li Yu Immediately knew what his mother was about to say, he instantly gave her a look that said she should calm down, he would explain things to her later.
Mu Shi sighed and kept quiet with a heart pounding as she was scared of the source of money her son was holding.
"Please, I don't want to see you together with my mother from now henceforth."
Li Yu removed a $200 note and threw it at Gu in anger, then he gently took his mother's hand and went inside their house.
"Won't you pick the money?" the crowd outside began hurling insults at Gu, they were angered by the fact that Gu had influenced them to act against Mu Shi.
Gu that saw she had garnered the hatred of everybody hurriedly picked up the money and ran off.
"Hahaha, I thought she would not pick the money due to embarrassment..."
Everybody laughed at the fleeing Gu.
"But come to think of it, who would have thought that, that poor-looking woman would be this rich."
Everybody sighed in regret as they began to disperse in pairs.
