Chapter 10: Your Son Has Grown Up (2/2)
It’s not easy being a widow and mother, and Feng Hongmei’s reasoning would make anyone hesitate to refuse.
But the three aunts turned a deaf ear.
“An IOU?”
“Your family already owes a mountain of debt. When will you ever be able to pay us back?”
“Once your son goes to university, you might just run away with him. Then whom will we look for?”
“Go to the factory right now and explain the situation!”
“If you don’t give us the money today, I will never forgive you!”
They pushed Feng Hongmei to the brink…
Almost driving her to despair on the spot.
Zhao Qingfeng heard everything very clearly.
His hatred for the aunts had reached its peak.
God knows how much suffering his mother endured alone in his previous life.
But Shen Kuo still held him tightly, calling people from the courtyard to help restrain Zhao Qingfeng. “Old Wang, help me keep an eye on him. I and Little Ding will go up and talk.”
Ding Xiang nodded, turned back, and instructed Shen Lingyao, “Yaoyao, comfort Little Feng. Yaoyao, where are you?”
Shen Lingyao had disappeared.
Unnoticed, she had already run to Feng Hongmei’s side.
She extended her arms, using her petite body as a shield, her cheeks puffed in anger, eyes red and teary, scolding as she cried.
“You can’t bully my Aunt Feng!”
“She’s a good person, a hundred times better than you!”
“It’s just fifty thousand yuan. I’ll write the IOU, and you can ask me for it! I, Shen Lingyao, will only go to the city for university. I can’t run away, and if I don’t pay back, you can make a fuss as much as you want!”
Everyone in the residential complex knew Shen Lingyao.
The three aunts also knew she was Shen Kuo’s daughter.
After all, the county was just so big, mostly old residents.
And Shen Kuo, as the office director of one of the few good factories in the county, was not someone to be easily provoked.
But today,
They had made up their minds to get their hands on the fifty thousand yuan.
“Shen Lingyao, get out of the way, don’t think we won’t dare!”
“If we don’t get the money today, we’ll make a huge scene!”
“You’re just a child, stay out of adults’ matters, go to the side!”
Facing the aggression of the three women, Shen Lingyao stood her ground.
Although Feng Hongmei kept telling her to step back, she firmly declared, “You don’t have to be proud. Even if Brother Qingfeng doesn’t get into university, I can support him for a lifetime!”
This heartfelt statement drew laughter from everyone, thinking it was just the wild talk of a young girl.
Ding Xiang nodded slightly from a distance. She didn’t care if her daughter married into a wealthy family; she just hoped she would marry the person she loved most.
Shen Kuo was startled.
Friends aside, he treated Zhao Qingfeng like a son but was not prepared to let his daughter marry him.
It was this shock that loosened his grip slightly.
Seizing the opportunity, Zhao Qingfeng suddenly broke free, rushing through the crowd like a wild horse unleashed, straight to Feng Hongmei’s side. After thanking Shen Lingyao, he quickly comforted his mother, “Mom, let me handle what comes next.”
“Little Feng…”
Feng Hongmei’s eyes widened, never expecting Zhao Qingfeng to return.
“Mom, I’ve been sent back from City No. 1 Middle School, but don’t worry for now. Anyway, they want to make trouble with us no matter what. So, even if you send me to the ends of the earth, what’s the use?”
“Let your son handle today’s matter.”
“From now on, all family affairs will be borne by your son.”
“Didn’t I tell you, Mom? Your son has grown up.”
