Anchor with goods, the price of F2 is very reasonable, right?

Chapter 646 A dead horse becomes a live doctor
"Don't look anymore, I know what to buy for her. Last time I went to the mall, I saw her in a jewelry store, and she seemed to really like a necklace."

Qin Tongtong's eyes widened. She had been looking around at home all afternoon but hadn't found a suitable gift. Although her mother was usually quite frugal, she was extremely picky when it came to gifts.

"Really? When will you take me to see it?"

"Let's do it today, since I'm free this weekend anyway!"

Qin Tongtong nodded in delight. If she could buy the necklace, it would solve a major problem.

Before leaving, Wang Yang made a point of going back to his room to bring the bank card that Ye Zhihong had given him earlier.

He knew that the necklace his mother-in-law had her eye on was quite expensive, and she must really like it, but he hadn't seen her buy any new jewelry lately.

When the two arrived at the jewelry store, they were stunned by what they saw.

My mother-in-law, Liu Fang, was wrestling with a strange man, and a security guard was trying to separate them. The jewelry store staff were all protecting the jewelry in the display cases, afraid they would be damaged.

"Stop hitting me! If you keep hitting me, I'll call the police! I'm warning you both!"

Many people passing by the store wanted to go in and take a look, but they were all stopped by security guards.

"You damn liar, give me my money back right now! If you don't, I'm not going to let you get away with this today!"

"Who cheated you out of your money? You gave it to me willingly!"

Wang Yang and Qin Tongtong rushed forward and pulled Liu Fang away.

"Mom, stop hitting her!"

"Why are you here?"

Seeing his mother-in-law's disheveled appearance, Wang Yang found it somewhat amusing, but he managed to suppress his laughter.

"You two are her children, right? Okay, come with me to the security room!"

"You're really something, fighting at your age. Do you even know how expensive the stuff in here is? You can't afford to pay for even one broken item!"

Although the security guard's words were somewhat disrespectful, they were indeed true.

Upon arriving at the security room, Qin Tongtong quickly and considerately helped her mother tidy up her appearance.

"Mom, what's going on? Who is this person?"

Liu Fang kept her head down and remained silent.

"He cheated me out of my money, I demand he give it back!"

"I didn't cheat you out of your money. Didn't I give you money in the first place?"

The man looked refined and cultured, but his words were utterly shameless.

"You gave me money, but I didn't spend a single penny. In the end, you took it all back without paying a cent. You even cheated me out of 5 yuan!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Tongtong immediately flew into a rage.

"You painstakingly saved up 5 yuan for so long, and you just gave it to him like that?"

“It wasn’t given to him; he tricked me out of it, so he has to give it back to me!”

The man took off his suit jacket and held it in his hand.

"I'll say it again, I didn't cheat you out of the money. You gave it to me yourself, didn't you?"

"You gave it to me, but you said someone in your family was sick, so I gave it to you. You even had someone else lie to me!"

Wang Yang suddenly asked, "Mom, what's your relationship with this man? Why did you lend him money?"

He knew very well that his mother-in-law was always very stingy; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to save 5 yuan under such difficult circumstances.

When he asked that question, his mother-in-law lowered her head even further and remained silent.

"She and I are boyfriend and girlfriend," the man finally said.

Although Qin Tongtong and Wang Yang had suspected it for a while, they were still somewhat helpless. Their mother was so old, yet she had secretly found a boyfriend behind their backs.

"Get lost, you damn liar! Who said we're boyfriend and girlfriend?"

"Okay, I misused my words. We used to be boyfriend and girlfriend, but we're not anymore."

Liu Fang suddenly burst into tears.

"I've saved up my entire life savings, and you've just swindled me out of it like this! Don't you have any conscience? If you do, at least give me half back!"

"I told you I've run out of money. Even if you ask me for it now, I can't give it to you. My family doesn't even own a house. Where am I supposed to find 5 yuan for you?"

This person speaks with such self-righteousness, clearly a fraudster, yet pretends to be a victim.

"Don't be so arrogant. You're the one who lied to my mom, and we're already being lenient by not holding you accountable. Judging from your appearance, you really can't come up with the money, so consider the 5 yuan as your medical treatment!"

After Wang Yang finished speaking, he turned to look at Liu Fang.

"Mom, if we can't get that 5 yuan back, let's just forget about it and go!"

"That's 5 yuan that I painstakingly saved up! Help me get it back!"

Qin Tongtong was also a little angry. That was 5 yuan, which was not a small amount for their family. Most importantly, it was money her mother had worked hard to save.

"Wang Yang, we can't just give up this money like that. Isn't there any other way?"

Wang Yang sighed and shook his head helplessly.

They were indeed in a romantic relationship before, so he definitely wouldn't get the money back; otherwise, he would have already taken the man to the police station.

"We're not going to get the money back, so don't bother arguing with him. It's pointless to waste your breath on someone like him."

Hearing Wang Yang say that, Liu Fang gave up, since she didn't want to get entangled with this person anymore.

The three of them went straight out the door, and Liu Fang even turned back and cursed at the man.

"You liar, you'll definitely die a horrible death!"

Once in the car, Liu Fang started crying again.

"What am I going to do? That's 5 yuan! I've saved up for most of my life!"

"When we were renovating the house, we didn't have any money and borrowed money from all over the place. We asked you to give us your money, but you wouldn't. Now look what happened, you've been swindled out of it all!"

Although Qin Tongtong felt sorry for her mother, she was also somewhat heartbroken.

It has to be said that women, no matter what age they are, can never get past the hurdle of love.

"Don't blame Mom. She definitely didn't want this to happen, and that man really can't afford it. He's sick, and he won't even have enough money for treatment!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Fang immediately stopped crying and raised her head.

"What disease does he have? Is it contagious?"

"Don't worry, it's not contagious, it's a skin condition."

Hearing that it wasn't contagious, Liu Fang finally felt relieved; whatever disease he had had had nothing to do with her.

However, he quickly realized that Wang Yang wasn't a professional doctor.

"You should take me to the hospital for a checkup; you can't figure anything out, you doctor!"

Before Wang Yang could even speak, Qin Tongtong, who was standing to the side, started to get angry.

"Mom! Stop focusing on Wang Yang. How did he figure out that person had a skin condition? You've been with him for so long and didn't notice?"

"I haven't known him for very long; we only met last month."

Hearing her mother say that, Qin Tongtong snorted coldly.

"Yes, you were willing to give him 5 yuan when you were just a stranger you met last month."

At this point, Liu Fang lowered her head in shame again.

"I got scammed, how was I supposed to know he was a conman?" "Then why wouldn't you lend me some money when we were renovating the house?"

When asked this question, Liu Fang felt increasingly ashamed.

The main reason she was unwilling to take out the money was that she didn't want to lend it to Wang Yang.

In her view, men should take on the responsibility of supporting their families, but in the end, it was Qin Tongtong who paid for the shop.

All the expenses for this house are now being paid by the family, so she wanted to force Wang Yang to borrow some money, but unexpectedly, it was Qin Tongtong who ended up borrowing it.

“I didn’t have that much money on hand back then; I saved it up later.”

Upon hearing this, Qin Tongtong knew that her mother was making excuses. She knew that her mother hadn't saved much money in the past few years; it was all money she had saved up in the past.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. That money originally belonged to Mom, and it's her freedom to use it however she wants."

Seeing that the atmosphere between the two was a bit awkward, Wang Yang quickly tried to smooth things over.

Qin Tongtong didn't understand why her mother refused to pay the money, but Wang Yang knew perfectly well why.

After returning home, Qin Tongtong went straight into her room and slammed the door shut.

Liu Fang asked Wang Yang, her heart pounding with fear, "Is she really angry?"

"Don't worry too much. Go wash up and go to bed. I'll go in and talk to her. As for that 5 yuan, don't even think about it anymore. You definitely won't get it back."

Hearing Wang Yang say that, Liu Fang felt even more upset.

"What are we going to do? Do you know how long I've been saving this money? More than ten years!"

"Mom, so this is a lesson. If something like this happens again..."

Before Wang Yang could finish speaking, Liu Fang immediately interrupted him.

"Don't say such things. I will never do such a foolish thing again. Besides, I don't have any money left. Who would want to talk to me?"

After saying that, she turned and went into the room. Wang Yang watched her retreating figure and shook his head helplessly.

You might say this old lady is muddle-headed, but sometimes she's quite clear-headed; she even knows that people are after her money.

Wang Yang tiptoed into the room. Qin Tongtong had already finished showering and was reading in bed.

Seeing her like this, Wang Yang didn't disturb her and went to wash up himself. When he came out, he saw Qin Tongtong with tears streaming down her face.

"What's wrong? Why are you crying again? It's just 5 yuan, don't take it to heart."

"Am I such a petty person? It's not about the 5 yuan, I just feel particularly disheartened."

As she spoke, Qin Tongtong began to choke up.

"I know what you're thinking. Don't you feel that when things were so difficult, your mother wouldn't help us, but now she's suddenly giving so much money to a stranger?"

Qin Tongtong didn't say anything, which was taken as tacit agreement.

"Actually, that's not the case. It's not that she doesn't want to give you the money, it's that she doesn't want to give it to me."

Hearing Wang Yang say this, Qin Tongtong wiped away her tears and frowned.

"What do you mean by that? Didn't we buy this house together?"

“Your family paid for the house in full, but you were still short tens of thousands of yuan for the renovation. Your mother just wanted me to go out and borrow money, and didn’t want you to pay for it.”

Qin Tongtong recalled that her mother had indeed said such a thing, but she had denied it outright.

Because she knew that Wang Yang was new to the area and unfamiliar with the people and people, and no one was willing to lend him money.

In the end, she asked her colleagues at the company and scraped together tens of thousands of yuan. Once she received her salary, she was able to pay it all off.

"Is it really?"

"Of course, think about it, you are her only daughter, and she has no one else to rely on. Of course she wants to spend all her money on you. She just feels it's not worth spending it on me."

Hearing Wang Yang say that, Qin Tongtong suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

"That's just the kind of person Mom is; she values ​​money too much, that's why she's like this."

“You don’t need to explain for her. Actually, I understand. I’ve never blamed her. Consider this 5 yuan as a lesson she learned.”

Qin Tongtong sighed helplessly.

"She actually went and got a boyfriend without telling us! If we had known earlier, we wouldn't have fallen for this!"

Wang Yang gently ruffled Qin Tongtong's hair and softly comforted her, "Think about it, she's already so old. How could she possibly tell us that she's secretly dating someone outside?"

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. I've never stopped her from making friends, and I often talk to her about these things!"

Since her parents separated, Qin Tongtong has been hoping that her mother could find a partner to stay by her side.

After all, the mother and daughter sometimes have conflicts, and perhaps the mother doesn't want to live with her sometimes.

But there was no other way. Her mother couldn't live alone, and Qin Tongtong couldn't let her mother live alone elsewhere; that would be too unsafe.

If she could find someone to spend the rest of her life with, she would be at peace.

“I understand, but she probably felt embarrassed, which is why she kept it from us. Besides, that man is so much younger than her.”

Qin Tongtong recalled the man's appearance and felt it was somewhat absurd.

"He looks more than ten years younger than my mom. My mom is really something, an old cow eating young grass!"

"Forget it, forget it, let's not think about it anymore, it's all in the past."

Qin Tongtong nodded: "My mom didn't say anything to you just now, did she?"

"No, she's just worried that you're angry with her. Try to talk to her tomorrow; it'll make her feel bad too."

"I see."

Qin Tongtong knew perfectly well that her mother had always been a very money-loving person, otherwise she wouldn't have disliked Wang Yang for so long.

That 5 yuan was more important to my mother than her own life. She was definitely not willing to give it away for nothing.

"Do you think my mom will go to that man again to ask for money?"

"Didn't I already tell her? She definitely won't get the money back. She can just ask any lawyer and she'll know."

Qin Tongtong frowned and thought for a while: "But I think with my mom's personality, she definitely won't let this go. I still have to keep an eye on her."

"It's okay, I'll talk to her about it again tomorrow. We definitely won't get the money back, it just depends on whether that person has any conscience and is willing to give her some."

However, Wang Yang felt that since that person was there to scam money, he couldn't possibly have any conscience.

"I understand, go to sleep early!"

……

The next morning, Wang Yang saw Liu Fang with big dark circles under her eyes, making breakfast in the kitchen.

"Mom, why are you up so early? Go back to sleep for a while, I'll make breakfast."

"No need, I can't sleep anyway, I'll just make you breakfast!"

Her voice was a little hoarse, and Wang Yang could guess that she had probably cried all night.

After a while, Qin Tongtong also came out, and she felt a little embarrassed when she saw her mother.

"Mom, why are you up so early!"

"Hurry up and have breakfast!"

While eating breakfast, Qin Tongtong would occasionally look up at her mother's expression.

"Don't keep looking at me, I'm fine, I was just a little sad yesterday."
