The male supporting character was actually myself.

"You're a university professor! The top-performing graduate student! Tutoring fees are only two hundred yuan an hour? Only a brainless little bitch would believe that. You think you can fool your mother? You're too green, kid. Tell me honestly how much money you've saved up!"

Liu Yingxiu took the initiative, staring intently at her son with her triangular eyes, relentlessly demanding, "You little bastard, you said it clearly: a house with an elevator and all the appliances only costs six hundred yuan a month! I was so old when I gave birth to you, and I worked myself to the bone to raise you and send you to university. Do you think it was easy for me?"

Is this how you show filial piety to your mother?

They won't even rent me a decent house. I'm stuck in this shabby little shack every day. Did you send me here to enjoy life or to suffer?

"Hmph! You little brat, you're quite the schemer. You want me to take care of your wife now and raise your kids later, while you, like your father, just sit back and do nothing, getting a kid who'll call you 'Dad' and be filial to you in the future—you're getting all the benefits!"

Dong Muqian slammed his fist on the table in anger, “How did you get led astray by Chu Chu? Didn’t I give you so much money and you’re still not satisfied! When other people’s sons get married, the elders pay out of their own pockets, but the 60,000 to 70,000 yuan in wedding gifts I received all went into your pocket, and you even took my salary card!”

I'm a man! I don't need to socialize or socialize!

Isn't it shameful to go out with no money in your pocket?!

Chu Chu was right—you raised me when I was young and I'll take care of you when you're old, but I have no obligation to support the bastard you had with another man! They're all surnamed Zhang, Wang, or Li, but none of them share my surname, Dong!

You're quite the mother, eating my food, drinking my drinks, taking my money, and acting like a good person.

"Six hundred yuan a month for rent is correct, but the money I gave you is enough for you to rent a place for over ten years! Where's the money you have? Didn't you say you were saving it for me? Give it to me!"

Chapter Eleven: A Promising Future...?

money?

Liu Yingxiu had already squandered it all!

She was lazy and loved to eat, and after receiving the wedding gift, she felt that she had some money in her hands. She also felt that it was too unfair to eat the bland food with her son every day, so she would go out every few days to have a nice meal.

In addition, there are too many temptations in the city; you can easily spend half a day in a card room drinking tea and eating snacks without spending a hundred or two hundred yuan.

There are many residential areas near the university, and fashionable older men and women love to go to dance halls to dance.

Membership fees, occasionally buying one or two dresses or shoes for dancing, and comparing which one doesn't cost several hundred yuan?

Liu Yingxiu also became obsessed with scratch-off lottery tickets, gambling so much that she would scratch dozens of tickets every day.

There were even more temptations on her phone. She loved watching live streams of young, handsome men and cute girls, who would call her "beautiful sister" one after another. This made Liu Yingxiu feel incredibly happy, as if she had eaten honey, and she naturally didn't hesitate to tip them.

Bustling cities are full of money pits; there's no such thing as too much money to spend. How can a mere tens of thousands of yuan withstand such extravagance?

Dong Muqian and Yu Chuchu were usually busy leaving early and returning late. Yu Chuchu didn't dare to ask questions, and Dong Muqian had a strange confidence in the old woman, so she had no idea that when the couple was away, Liu Yingxiu was playing cards, mahjong, dancing, going to restaurants, buying lottery tickets, and watching videos. She was living a very comfortable life.

For a teacher with a fixed monthly salary of just over six thousand yuan, saving sixty or seventy thousand yuan would take a long time, but for an old woman, it would be spent faster than water flowing away!

Liu Yingxiu was never a thrifty person, and she spent her windfall without hesitation. Now, not only has she squandered the small amount of money she had given as a wedding gift, but even the tens of thousands of yuan that Dong Muqian had saved in his salary card has been reduced to just a few hundred yuan.

Faced with her son's questioning, she felt guilty and scared, so she simply used her trump card, sat down on the ground, slapped her thigh, and wailed, "Oh dear... a son is no longer under his mother's control when he grows up!"

Now you're glaring at your mother and yelling, "Why is my life so miserable!"

What did you say when you gave me your salary card? You said it wasn't easy for your mother to raise you, and now that you've finally made money, you want to marry a wife and take care of your mother.

And look what happened! Who showed me any respect?

Now you can just turn your back on me like that!

Look at the kind of life you've made me live! I can only sleep right next to your bed, and that little bitch makes fun of me! I'd be better off raising a dog than you; at least a well-trained dog knows to protect its owner…

Liu Yingxiu's loud voice gave Dong Muqian a headache.

"Boom!"

He slammed his fist on the table and roared, "Shut up! Aren't you ashamed of yourself? You were spewing filth and cursing in the hallway just now, and my colleagues are laughing at me!"

“Why don’t you dare to slam your fist on the table and glare at that little bitch? You’re only good at bullying your own family and being mean to your mother! I’ve wasted my time raising you…” Liu Yingxiu wiped away her tears and continued to argue.

Dong Muqian was really annoyed by her crying. He got up, straightened his clothes, and said impatiently, "I have other uses for the money I spend on tutoring. Don't try to take advantage of me."

First, give me my salary card;

The wedding gift money can't be kept with you. If you don't get it back by tomorrow morning before I go to work, then you can give it to whoever will take care of you in your old age!

After making those harsh remarks, he checked the time and quickly got ready to wait for the bus at the relatively secluded north gate of the school.

Although it is explicitly forbidden for tenured teachers to run training classes and skirt the rules, there is still a market demand, and many people secretly earn some extra money on the side.

He is also included.

Although his major was law, which wasn't as sought-after as science teachers, Dong Muqian's grades in all subjects were really good. He was also eloquent and had teaching experience. In addition, his requirements were relatively low, so someone quickly helped him find a part-time job as a tutor.

I charge 500 yuan per hour to tutor four children for two hours each on Saturday and Sunday evenings.

He can earn about six thousand yuan a month, which is about the same as his salary at school. But the problem is that the other party doesn't want a long-term contract and has only signed up for one semester. As for holidays or the next semester, they don't know if they need to discuss it further.

Dong Muqian knew that what he was doing violated the rules and wanted to save some money on his own, so he kept it a secret.

If Yu Chuchu hadn't accidentally let it slip last time, she wouldn't have known.

He originally planned to live in the staff dormitory instead of renting a house to get married, for three reasons.

The first is the external persona – a teacher who came out of the mountains through his own efforts, who is optimistic and hardworking despite the harsh conditions, which sounds very likable.

Once a poor child has established a good image, they will have an inherent advantage in whatever they do in the future, quickly gaining sympathy. After all, the public may resent the rich, but no one resents the poor.

If they get their doctoral degree and stay at the university in the future, they will definitely be given priority in receiving benefits such as housing allocation;

The second reason was naturally to make it easier to exploit Yu Chuchu.

When they were dating, they were both poor and naturally couldn't afford to rent a place or go to a hotel like other young couples. In addition, Yu Chuchu was conservative, so Dong Muqian had to maintain a perfect image to please her.

Before marriage, they lived in separate dormitories. After marriage, they moved to the staff dormitory assigned by the school. This was to further brainwash Yu Chuchu and make her realize that earning money was not easy and life was difficult.

With her sensible and obedient nature, she's even less likely to be extravagant. She's frugal and careful with her money; her monthly salary of six thousand yuan is enough to support her family and children. Otherwise, if Yu Chuchu knew she had ways to earn extra money, wouldn't she complain that she wasn't being spent on her?

Not only do they fail to save up any money on their own, but they also develop a competitive mentality, which only adds to their troubles.

The last point is to make it easier for my mother to live with me and then take advantage of the situation!

Her mother subtly tested her limits by making demands, while simultaneously brainwashing and suppressing her. If Yu Chuchu could accept her mother sleeping next to her, she would gradually be able to accept sleeping with other women in the future.

She can accept being humbled by kneeling to greet me after get off work, washing my feet, and massaging my back, so that in the future she will be completely obedient to me and have no sense of resistance whatsoever.

Dong Muqian had met a wealthy boss from his hometown who had three wives who were all well-behaved and obedient, living under the same roof and raising several sons in a harmonious and happy life.

He was so envious of that kind of successful life!

The other party was just a peasant who only graduated from elementary school, and he could handle him with ease. How could he, a law master's degree holder, who was well-versed in psychology, handsome and dashing, be inferior to him?

If you give yourself more time, you will surely have many wives and concubines and achieve great success in your career!

Currently, we are a bit short of money, but as long as we follow the plan, with Yu Chuchu contributing to support the family and me working hard to pursue my doctorate and taking on freelance work to earn extra income, a monthly income of 20,000 yuan is just around the corner, and I will be able to save up enough money to buy a house in just a few years.

Then, using their professional expertise, they ensured that no one could take a single penny of their assets!

"The future looks promising!" Dong Muqian was pondering how to coax his wife back when he looked up and saw the familiar luxury car slowly approaching. His eyes shone with envy, as if he could already see himself driving a luxury car and living in a mansion. He couldn't help but reveal a sly smile and sigh softly.

The little white cat stared intently at the screen on the phone connected to the recording device, meowing to remind us, "Host, Dong Muqian is on board. I've switched the main shooting mode to candid filming now, so it'll be easier to edit the video later."

"Emmm... Keep recording. I'm thinking about how to deal with the background setting of this mission world. Divorce is a troublesome thing!" Jiang Chen leaned over and glanced at Dong Muqian, who was sitting in the luxury car with a slightly restrained expression, staring blankly and not saying a word. He frowned slightly. "Do you think we could find a prostitute to seduce him?"

The little dumpling was stunned for a moment, "Solidification? Can that be a crime? Even if it is, he might not agree to a divorce."

"No, what I mean is—find someone who's sick, and then we'll send him some tonics!"

Chapter Twelve Misunderstanding

"Is...is something wrong?" The little white cat was stunned for a moment, scratched its ear with its hind leg and asked in return, "What kind of illness? Does the host want to turn this badly-ended script into a love story about a brain-damaged person's life and death?"

Using a seemingly delicate but actually leukemia-ridden mistress, she seduces the male lead, Dong Muqian, so that Yu Chuchu can gracefully withdraw and allow them to be together.

Meow~ Host, this idea seems worth trying.

Jiang Chen shook his head, searching on his phone as he asked, "Haven't you heard of AIDS?"

"Eek!" The fluffy ball immediately bristled.

The cat instantly turned into a white fluffy ball, stammering in fright, "I...I heard a newbie on the forum say that...that's a really scary disease. The newbie's host was a poor kid who got infected with that disease by the bisexual male lead, and in the end, he died a terrible death trying to cure the male lead."

It is said that the whole body will ulcerate after the onset of the disease?

Host, have you decided to do this?

Dealing with scum like Dong Muqian seems pretty effective, meow. But, isn't the virus difficult to control? What if he infects others?

"I haven't figured it out yet, but I've prepared a few feasible plans in advance. Anyway, we can't let Dong Muqian harm anyone."

"Hmm, hmm, hmm, so could we consider the suggestion I just made? Like a love story that transcends life and death?"

"Write this down first, and see how things develop. Xiaobai, starting tomorrow, I will have my lawyer hire two full-time bodyguards to protect Yu Chuchu and ensure that she will not be harassed by Dong Muqian again. After she resigns, she can come with me to Senhai to start a new life."

That guy has protagonist aura; I don't really believe the bodyguards can stop him.

So starting tomorrow, your full-time job is to stay by her side and make sure Dong Muqian can't get close!

"Okay, meow~ I'll complete the mission!"

…………

Watching her son's departing figure from afar through the window, Liu Yingxiu, who had been feeling uneasy, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Her heart was in her throat when her son stared at her demanding her salary card! Luckily, he was in a hurry and didn't press the issue further; otherwise, if they found out there was no money in it, wouldn't they have been completely exposed?

When her son picked her up from the remote mountain village, he assigned her the task of dealing with Yu Chuchu. However, that little bitch was too stubborn and she couldn't complete the task smoothly. Now, she has squandered all the money she had.

She didn't want to leave the big, beautiful city and go back to that dirty, dilapidated old house in the mountain village where there wasn't even running water.

How can I make up the money, put my son on hold, and ensure that I can stay here safely?

Liu Yingxiu, who hadn't even eaten dinner, was in a panic. She hadn't calculated her spending when she was usually so extravagant, but now, after opening her smartphone and roughly calculating, she realized that she had spent nearly 100,000 yuan in the past month!

"Oh my goodness, how come I didn't realize I spent so much?" She panicked and her legs went weak; she was completely at a loss.

That's almost 100,000 yuan!

I can build a nice little courtyard house back in my hometown!

Liu Yingxiu is not well-educated and doesn't understand psychological tactics or PUA, but she loves her youngest son the most and knows him best. If he knew that she had squandered all the money, he would want to strangle himself!

How can we fill such a huge hole?

Looking at the transaction records in her payment app, one after another, amounting to tens or hundreds of yuan, she recalled what Yu Chuchu had said on the phone and the words her son had left behind before he left—they all believed that she had secretly transferred the money to those kids back in her hometown. Although that wasn't true, this was the only path she could take now.

Liu Yingxiu thought of an excuse and dialed her eldest son's number on her phone.
