Chapter 271: Chapter 271 Does His Dad Know? (3)

Even when it came to spending on his daughter, the Qiu Family’s frugal man thought it wasn’t quite worth it.

Aunt Qiu could only keep hoping her daughter would turn out successful, mostly because she had given up hope on her son.

As for her son, Qiu Jiaxuan, he originally worked with his father in the family’s processing enterprise back in their hometown, doing supervisory work of some sort. Now, seeing his mother and sister heading to the big city to make a living, he couldn’t stand staying in the small county town. So, he lied to his father, claiming that a friend in the city was doing well in foreign trade and that he wanted to go to the city to help generate overseas orders for the family factory.

His father suspected nothing and gave him some money to bring over.

Qiu Jiaxuan dashed all the way to where his mother and sister were living because he had already been to the big city and knew about the high cost of living—everything had to be spent frugally. The house where his mother stayed might look small, but the monthly utilities, rent, and internet bill were at least five thousand as a baseline.

Why bother finding an apartment outside to live in a basement, when he could mooch off his mother’s money here?

How could Aunt Qiu not see through her son’s intentions? It really angered her.

To think that she had raised her son until now, he should have been able to earn money to support the family. Instead, he couldn’t match a single finger of the Gu Family’s Gu Nuan when it came to making money. It was as if all he knew how to do was spend money.

Today, Qiu Jiaxuan had spent the whole day fooling around outside with friends. When he got home, with a faint smell of alcohol on him, he saw his mother in the living room with a calculator and couldn’t help but curl his lip and say, "Mom, stop calculating. No matter how much you crunch those numbers, the money you spent isn’t coming back."

"Easy for you to say!" Aunt Qiu turned around and looked at her son, the profligate, nearly bursting with rage, "Look at you living here with me, this money is enough to put your sister through several years of school. And you, you spend thousands in a single day! In a few days, we’ll be out on the streets begging! Hurry up and go back to your father and work hard to earn money!"

"Are you kidding me?" Qiu Jiaxuan squinted his eyes. He already had a few complaints about Aunt Qiu, who was now only focusing on his sister, saying, "How many years can Jiali stay in school? She definitely won’t be able to get into college, just like me. You want her to study?! It would be more like throwing money into the river. It’s better to give it to me for drinking and mingling with some wealthy friends."

Aunt Qiu sprang up and pointed at his nose, "You have the nerve to say that!"

"Why wouldn’t I have the nerve to say it." Qiu Jiaxuan belched, clearly unenthused by the alcohol, "Go to sleep, Mom. Anyway, I think you counting on Jiali is as pointless as counting on me."

"Counting on you is pointless. You beast, I supported your education, bought you the best school bags. Gu Nuan over at the Gu Family, when she was in school, she used a bag made from fabric at home. Now look at her, working at a big company and making money. And you? You better cough up all the money I’ve spent on you!" Aunt Qiu became angrier as she spoke, marching over and beating on her son’s head.

"Hey, hey—" Qiu Jiaxuan could only dodge, putting effort into avoiding his mother’s fists, "Mom, your phone is ringing, Mom, someone’s calling you, maybe it’s someone sending you money!"

At the mention of money, Aunt Qiu’s eyes lit up. She ran back to the desk, picked up her phone next to the calculator, and shouted, "Hello, who is this? Don’t tell me it’s a telemarketing call. I don’t need insurance or financial advice."

Gu Dad on the other end of the line couldn’t help but give a wry smile upon hearing Aunt Qiu’s remarks, coughed to clear his throat, and said, "It’s me, Aunt Qiu."

"Oh my, what has you calling me now?" Aunt Qiu was nicer to Gu Dad, mainly because she remembered the five million Gu Nuan had previously earned for her.
