Chapter 617: Chapter 618 Sister Like Mother 35_1

Huang Man walked down the street, her mood quite buoyant as she thought about how Huang Lina must have already seen the gift she left behind.

"With a room like that, it’s not just that Huang Lina wouldn’t want to stay, I doubt she would even enter it."

Such a room could be said to be an absolute nightmare for her and her siblings, which was quite satisfactory.

Huang Xin had not had an easy past couple of days. Although his efforts were purely chaotic, writing results based on his mood, there was still so much homework to do. Even without using his brain, it took quite a while.

He had hoped to catch up on some rest today, but unexpectedly got woken up early in the morning by Huang Lina.

If it weren’t for the fact that he was counting on Huang Lina to earn money, he really would have lost his temper.

Although he had controlled his anger and refrained from lashing out, when he opened the door, his mood was obviously foul, "What’s the big idea, making a racket so early in the morning?"

"Don’t you know I’ve been really struggling these past few days?"

"You, you look." Zhao Mei stood at the door of Huang Lina’s room, looking at the walls and furniture covered with dense formulas and such.

"Fuck me." Upon seeing the room transformed, Huang Xin couldn’t hold back, "Is this supposed to be a good student’s room?"

Huang Xin kept swallowing, "Forget it, forget it."

He couldn’t stay in such a room any longer as it was all too easy for something to go wrong. Huang Xin slowly retreated back to his own room.

Then his gaze shifted to the room where Huang Lina was now staying, and he began to understand that this must be Huang Man’s contingency plan.

It had to be said that the move was truly effective. For instance, he had already lost any interest in venturing into Huang Lina’s room.

He had thought that Huang Lina, upon going to school, would leave her money at home, and he could then search her room and probably maybe should find some money.

But after seeing this wall, he figured it was highly likely that she wouldn’t leave any money there.

A woman who could be so harsh on herself would definitely not be polite to them, likely stashing away all the money she had.

Since there was no chance of finding money, Huang Xin couldn’t be bothered looking anymore and just turned around to go back to sleep in his room.

Zhao Mei stopped him, "Don’t go back to sleep; you have to register today."

Huang Xin waved his hand, "It’s okay, it’s just registration; it doesn’t matter if I’m late."

After all, he knew his own capabilities. If someone kept an eye on him, followed by him making some effort, his grades could rise to average. But that would truly be too exhausting.

"Mom, just give me a break. It’s not my fault you and dad didn’t make me as smart as Huang Man."

"If only I were as smart as Huang Man, studying would have been really easy for me."

"I could have easily gotten good grades like Huang Man, too. Forget it, let’s drop it."

"Since I’m not as smart as Huang Man, you can’t expect too much from me."

Huang Xin’s reasoning was very simple: don’t have too many expectations of him.

Zhao Mei had thought that no matter what, she couldn’t give up on Huang Xin. After all, he was her son, and she didn’t know what the future would bring for her grandson.

But seeing his attitude, Zhao Mei had to admit that her son was completely hopeless.

Now that there was no hope for her son to bring glory to their ancestors or secure a comfortable life for her, Zhao Mei was loath to spend any more effort on this foolish son.

"Fine, if you don’t want to study, then don’t study. Just get a job after finishing middle school and try to bring a wife home."

Zhao Mei’s fixation on Huang Xin, of course, included making him earn the money himself for his future bride.

What? He’s supposed to go out to work to earn the money for his bride? Huang Xin was stunned, gazing dumbfounded at Zhao Mei.

"Mom, what are you saying, you actually want me to earn my own money to marry a wife?"

"What do you plan to do with my dad’s compensation money? You plan to remarry and use it on some other man."

Huang Xin felt more and more that Zhao Mei was finding various ways to get rid of them, harboring exactly this intention.

"I just know you still have that person in your heart." He recalled the issue that Huang Zhiqiang would bring up each time they argued.

In the past, Huang Xin never took it to heart, believing that as long as he was present, Zhao Mei couldn’t possibly be unfaithful.

But now, he truly wasn’t certain, with her insisting they all go out to work, aiming to drive all three of them away.

No matter how he thought about it, there seemed to be a problem, "I’m not going to work outside, that’s the money my dad left for me, and I absolutely won’t allow you to take the money and leave."

"Don’t even think about using the money my dad left for me to support another man."

Huang Xin shouted loudly, and Huang Lina, who was in the room casting all sorts of curses on Huang Man, heard the word ’marry’ and immediately rushed out.

"Who’s getting remarried?" Her tone was that of a question, but her eyes looked pointedly at Zhao Mei.

Of the three people present, only she would possibly consider remarriage, "Mom, if you really have to remarry, the money must be left behind."

They couldn’t let Zhao Mei take the money away; once gone, they would be completely devoid of both people and wealth.

"I, I haven’t thought about getting remarried," Zhao Mei was on the verge of tears, having learned that she had a substantial amount of compensation money, many people had been looking to get close to her.

Zhao Mei wasn’t stupid and knew their intentions well; anyway, she was absolutely not considering remarriage, that was in the past when she worked as a nanny.

"You haven’t thought of getting remarried, just sharing a bed with a man is all," Huang Xin said bitterly.

"At that time, you could just as easily give money to the other party."

"You might as well give up hope, I absolutely won’t let this happen."

"I’m not going to work outside, rather than let you squander the money, I might as well spend it myself."

"At least I will have enjoyed it." Go out to work? That’s out of the question, he was going to work hard at spending money, not let some outsider benefit.

"Right, I’m not going out either," Huang Lina had completely dismissed the idea of working outside.

She would have to work hard to make money in a foreign place, enduring a bad reputation, and then there was the possibility of falling ill.

In the end, Huang Xin just doesn’t work, counting on living off that money, while Zhao Mei supports a man outside.

Why should she have to slave away to earn money? It’s unfair, really unfair.

Huang Lina simply gave up, "Anyway, I’ll just do odd jobs around town, earn a little money for my expenses."

There’s food at home anyway, so she won’t starve, Huang Lina felt this was really quite good.

No way, one after the other, they actually don’t want to work, Zhao Mei was furious with their attitude.

"You, how can you be so lazy, not even knowing to go out to work."

"This won’t do, you must go out and work. After you graduate from junior high, unless you get into high school, otherwise, you must either get out or pay living expenses."

Zhao Mei was absolutely unyielding towards these two children; she’d often been told she was an unsympathetic mother, so why should she be sympathetic.

What? Both were stunned, Huang Lina didn’t speak out, surely the most anxious was Huang Xin.

She would just follow behind; whatever Huang Xin did, she would do the same.
