"He's already too old to handle news like this," Zhou Tao thought of his mother's hard work and sacrifices for him, unable to bear causing her pain.
But, at the same time, he was too eager to become rich, to transform into a wealthy man.
That way, his social status would rise, and no one would look down upon him anymore.
He could finally hold his head high.
"Hurry up and call your mom, did you get that? Or I'll whip you to death," said the elder brother, brandishing a whip to intimidate Zhou Tao.
Another elder brother warned, "Yes, if you don't obey, we'll chop off your legs. If you don't want to become a disabled person, call your mother."
"Your mother found a solution last time, she can surely find one now."
"Furthermore, don't you have a rich relative? There's no way such a wealthy person would refuse to help, right?"
Although Zhou Tao was penniless, they banked on the people backing him.
After all, having a wealthy relative was a bounty not to be misspent.
