Era: Starting with the struggle to refuse being taken advantage of

Chapter 66
Wang Jinshan, who thought he had figured things out, didn't care about borrowing tools. He quickly got up from the ground and ran towards his yard.

He needs to salvage his reputation!

Perhaps because Wang Jinshan's trip to borrow tools had taken too long, Zhao Yuju, concerned for her son, even lit an oil lamp and stood guard at the door.

Upon seeing Wang Jinshan's familiar figure, Zhao Yuju rushed forward with great joy, saying:

"Son, you're finally back."

"You just went out to borrow a tool, how come it took you so long?"

Then she frowned and said, "Son, what happened to you? Why are you covered in mud?"

“I told you to ask Xia An to borrow the tools, but you insisted on going to borrow them yourself.”

Asking Wang Xia'an to borrow the tools would have been a good choice, but Wang Jinshan, who prided himself on his influence and ability to get more benefits, chose to do it himself.

However, he never expected that not only would he fail to borrow the tools, but he would also suffer a humiliating defeat.

Thinking of this, Wang Jinshan immediately took Zhao Yuju's hand and walked out, saying as they went:

"Mom, please explain to the neighbors about borrowing the bicycle. I didn't break it; you kicked it."

With wide eyes and an incredulous expression, Zhao Yuju looked at Wang Jinshan and said:
"Son, are you crazy? How could you let your mother do such a thing? Don't I have any shame?"

"Besides, the bicycle was already compensated by the company that was supposed to pay for it, so what business is it of ours?"

"I'm so clever, I easily saved the family at least a dollar."

"Son, don't worry, I'll keep that one yuan for you, and I'll deliver it to your house when I have the chance."

Looking at Zhao Yuju's kind face, Wang Jinshan felt a sense of disgust this time.

If Zhao Yuju hadn't been greedy for that one yuan, how could she have ended up in this situation?
Thinking of this, Wang Jinshan instantly lost his composure and angrily roared at Zhao Yuju:

"What do you know? Money, money, money, all you know is money, money, money."

"Come with me right now and apologize, not a minute later!"

Zhao Yuju had a fiery temper, so she often gave Wang Jinshan a nice look.

Her temper flared up after being yelled at by her son, and she said:

"Wang Jinshan, you bastard! I'm saving so much money just to help you!"

"What, now you're complaining that I'm obsessed with money? Why didn't you complain when you took the money I gave you?"

"If it weren't for saving money for Xia An's wedding, would I have saved so much money, even giving away the money-losing family?"

"If you don't explain yourself clearly today, I'm not done with you!"

Although Zhou Erhua asked for 800 yuan at the family meeting, Zhao Yuju knew that this was just a ploy by the other party to ask for an exorbitant price.

In fact, if she had been willing to give Wang Chengpeng's family two or three hundred yuan, it would never have come to the point of having to separate the family.

After all, Wang Tieshan was, to some extent, extremely blindly filial.

If she hadn't been extremely angry, Zhao Yuju would never have said such a thing. The worst thing about such a long-hidden secret is that walls have ears.

Unfortunately, Zhao Yuju's luck was extremely bad today. She didn't notice the other figure standing in the corner of the courtyard. Who else could it be but Wang Yinshan?

If Wang Yinshan had previously only suspected that Zhao Yuju favored Wang Jinshan's family, then hearing Zhao Yuju's words was practically confirmation. Ruthless, truly ruthless.

Zhao Yuju went to such lengths to favor Wang Jinshan's family; no wonder she couldn't even get a small room before.

When the family is splitting up, I must do the same as the third son!
The idea of ​​splitting up the family business had never been so strong in Wang Yinshan's mind. He was afraid that if he didn't leave soon, the two people in front of him would drain him dry, leaving not even bones or dust.

It was at this moment that, with a crisp "smack," Wang Jinshan slapped himself across the face.

After being confronted by Zhao Yuju, Wang Jinshan, who was blinded by anger, finally came to his senses and realized what a stupid thing he had done.

This is the old lady in the family, not only my mother, but also the mother who has secretly given me countless amounts of money.

If you break off relations with the other party, where will you find a target that can continuously generate gold coins in the future?
Upon realizing this, Wang Jinshan knew he had to express his stance. He immediately slapped himself hard, knelt before Zhao Yuju, and began to weep, saying:
"Mother, you don't know how miserable your son is."

As Wang Jinshan burst into tears, he recounted his experiences of the night to Zhao Yuju in detail.

Finally, Wang Jinshan even hugged Zhao Yuju's leg and said:
“Mother, if you don’t agree to this, then your son will really have no face to show his face in Wangjia Village.”

"You wouldn't want to see your son become a pariah in Wangjia Village, would you?"

Wang Jinshan's crying and fussing had completely hit Zhao Yuju's weak spot, and for a moment, she hesitated.

Torn between saving face for herself and saving face for her son, she found herself in a dilemma.

"A good-for-nothing is a good-for-nothing; he'll never have a moment's peace even if you distribute him among your children." "If I'd known this little bastard was so unfilial, I would have beaten him to death when he was a child. How could he have lived this long?" "You good-for-nothing, just you wait! This is definitely not going to end like this."...

While grumbling and cursing, Zhao Yuju racked her brains to think of a way to resolve the current predicament.

Ultimately, faced with the choice between sacrificing her son's pride or her own, she forged a third path, saying:

"I can't admit to this, and you don't need to."

"Don't worry, I have other ways to solve this."

Now it was Wang Jinshan's turn to be puzzled. He asked curiously, "Mother, have you thought of a good idea?"

Zhao Yuju smiled mysteriously and said, "It's not just you and me in our family, there's a third person too, isn't there?"

"If someone has to take the blame, why can't it be the second-in-command?"

"You wait, as long as I go to the second brother and cry and tell him that I did this, I believe he will definitely help me take the blame."

"After all, my second son is usually quite filial, and he would never watch me lose face like that."

Hiding in the shadows, Wang Yinshan was completely bewildered. He simply couldn't understand how he had ended up getting involved in this mess.

After the initial shock came fear, a fear born of Zhao Yuju's wickedness.

If he were completely unaware of the situation, and Zhao Yuju were to come to him for help, Wang Yinshan would absolutely not refuse to take the blame.

In other words, Zhao Yuju's smugness was by no means unfounded.

Seeing Zhao Yuju and Wang Jinshan, who were now as loving and filial as ever, Wang Yinshan felt a moment of disorientation and almost lost his balance.

When the third son was alive, the mother and son could enjoy themselves at the expense of his interest, but now that he's gone, they've become the ones being exploited.

With his right fist clenched, Wang Yinshan had quietly made a decision in his heart.
