Chapter 138: The Aunts Face a Setback (Part 2/2)

Zhao Ming was stunned.

But almost immediately, it seemed like he remembered something.

“I know!”

“Huang Hao, what are you shouting for? I know who you are; aren’t you just a thug?”

“Some time ago, I heard about the Emperor’s Fun Arcade incident. They said you and Zhao Qingfeng won ten thousand yuan together. I didn’t believe it then.”

“Now seeing this, the one hundred and fifty thousand must have been won from the arcade, right?”

“Heh.”

“Waste, gambler!”

“Zhao Qingfeng, tell the truth, did you use some trick to scam money in the arcade? You’re always going to the provincial city, did you scam money there too? You waste of space, just a petty man getting lucky, stop pretending!”

Whatever.

Zhao Qingfeng didn’t feel the need to explain too much to Zhao Ming.

Since he wasn’t pretending anymore, there was no need for Zhao Qingfeng to play along either.

Zhao Qingfeng sneered, no longer looking at him, but took the IOUs from the creditors one by one, handing them to Shen Lingyao, “Yaoyao, help me with the calculations, and pay them back.”

Shen Lingyao was thrilled.

This time was different from the last; Brother Qingfeng had the upper hand!

She disdainfully glanced at Zhao Ming, then sweetly started counting out money for each dumbfounded creditor.

“Uncle Sun, this is your money, I’m taking the IOU. You lent two thousand, here’s two thousand three hundred.”

“Aunt Wang, this is yours. You lent three thousand five hundred, here’s three thousand nine hundred.”

“And Uncle Liu, Uncle Zhao, you both lent one thousand five hundred, here’s one thousand seven hundred and fifty!”

“Alright, all paid back, no need to thank us. Brother Qingfeng also wants to thank you for lending money to his dad!”

The creditors received their money, looked at each other, and since the matter was resolved, they left content but a bit guilty.

The neighbors watched, their thoughts varied.

Some believed Zhao Ming’s words, thinking Zhao Qingfeng’s money came from dubious means.

Others, having heard about Zhao Qingfeng fixing computers, wondered if their children who failed to enter university should also learn computer skills.

What they thought wasn’t too important.

What mattered were the expressions on the aunts’ faces.

They had intended to severely embarrass Zhao Qingfeng, just like last time, to make the mother and son lose face and affect the university entrance exam results.

But they never expected

To not only fail in their plot but also to lose face themselves. This made them extremely furious, each of their faces twisted with frustration as they started cursing.

“Brat!”

“Bastard!”

“Earning money through gambling, how accomplished of you!”

“Don’t be too proud now, there’s still the bet, we’ll see after the exams!”

“Let me tell you!”

“If you don’t make it into the top three after the exams and fail to keep your promise, we’ll hire two excavators to dig up your father’s ashes and scatter them!”

“He used to be our brother, sure!”

“But who told him to ignore our father’s advice and marry your mother, that miser? He stopped being our brother long ago!”

“Let’s go!”

“We’ll contact the excavators now, wait until the exams are over, then we’ll see!”

“Don’t think you can take the exams peacefully, just wait and see how we deal with you then!”

The aunts left angrily after their tirade.

Before leaving, Zhao Ming suddenly laughed, turning to give Zhao Qingfeng a meaningful look.

Zhao Qingfeng did the same.

The ‘brothers’ exchanged glances, each pondering their next move.

Zhao Ming chuckled, “Little Feng, little brother, let me leave you with a word, young man, don’t be too arrogant. I know exactly what you’ve done, just wait, I’ll repay you properly.”

Zhao Qingfeng smiled as well, just like his demeanor in the internet café, “Thanks, brother, I appreciate your care, truly grateful, take care!”

The group left in a huff.

Feng’s mother was in great spirits, never imagining they could turn the tables so easily.

Huang Hao was furious, wanting to chase after them to settle the score.

But Zhao Qingfeng stopped him, after fixing the TV, he smiled and said, “There’s no need for you guys to do anything; I’ve already made arrangements. Come on, let’s go downstairs and watch the show.”
