Guide to raise my cutie husbands

Chapter 722: The thing he feared the most

Old Madam Shen wanted to climb in the carriage and go to the Yu family's house. She could not help but think that it was really too much of Shen Li to never come looking for his mother who was suffering on the streets after the flood, no —— not even the flood. He should have reached out to her the second his family struck gold! He should be helping her and her family to get back on their feet and live a comfortable life, what was he doing living a wonderful life but letting his mother stay on the streets?         

    

But when Lang stopped her and even threatened her that she will beat her up, Old Madam Shen stopped her antics. She knew that she could bully the mers since they were weak and their wife was not with them but Lang was different, she was tall and muscular, and if she was to hit her then Old Madam Shen was sure that she will be knocked out cold with just one punch, which was why she stopped and did not stubbornly demand to be given a place in the carriage.      

' If only Shen Li, that useless son of hers was sitting in the carriage!' Old Madam Shen thought in her head, if her son was with those mers, she would have certainly played her dominance to full authority, since she was ShenLi's mother and even though she sold him off, he still had her blood flowing in his veins.      

However, Shen Li was not there and Old Madam Shen could only watch the carriage leave. She waited until the shiny-looking carriage was gone from the street as it turned to the right heading to the other street where the bar for the mers was opened.      

" Hey!" As she snapped out of the daze that was filling her head, Madam Shen turned to look at the woman who was walking past her with her husband and then clung to her arm as she said, " That carriage how much do you think it might have cost those mers?"      

The woman almost spat out a load of curses when she saw that the crazy old woman was now clinging onto her arm which was why she wanted to pull her arm out of the woman's grip but then she remembered the antics of this woman and replied honestly, " I don't know it looked really big and had a lot of facilities, it must have cost them more than five hundred taels."      

" FIVE HUNDRED?" Old Madam Shen screamed out aloud when she heard what the woman said before raising the packaged food in her hand and then pushing it in the face of the woman as she continued to ask, " And what about this ?"      

She pointed to the Yixu restaurant behind her and then said," This food was brought from this restaurant, how much do you think it might be?"      

The woman wanted to shake Old Madam Shen but the latter was so strong that she could not even take her arm out of her grip which was why she sighed and followed the gaze of the old woman as she saw the famous Yixu restaurant and replied, "It is one of the most famous restaurants in town, old lady. Even a single bowl of porridge costs more than ten taels and you are holding at least ten boxes, I am afraid that this must be at least two hundred taels. Now, will you let me go? I have to go somewhere!"      

As she spoke, the woman snatched her hand from Old Madam Shen's grip who was in a daze and started to walk away. The mer on her side could not help but scold her as he said, " Why did you have to talk with that crazy woman? Did you not see how vulgarly she was acting just now?"      

" Jeez, do you think that I wanted to talk to her? She was holding onto my shirt so tightly, if I pulled my arm then I would have caused my sleeves to be torn which is why I did not tug it out." The woman remarked as she brushed the dirt off her sleeves with an annoyed expression muttering how unlucky she was tonight.     

But Old Madam Shen did not hear a thing that the woman or husband said, all her attention was on the fact that her son's family —— the son whom she thought was useless and spineless with not a hint of charm, actually had so much money to spare!     

His family brought a carriage which was equivalent to five hundred taels and even the concubines of that house were eating a meal that costs more than two hundred tales! Just what kind of life were they living and what kind of life was she living?      

Old Madam Shen brought her fingers in front of her eyes and started counting, she was not literate but she was able to count. As she realised that the family where her son was living casually spent more than half of a golden tael, she was stunned.      

No wonder that brat never came to ask for their help or even came to see them at any festivals. He was enjoying his comfortable life and completely forgot about his old mother who was directly involved in his happiness.     

" That darned mer!" She spat on the ground as she scratched her head and looked at the floor with a crazy glint in her eyes.  She was staying alive on rice gruel and he was letting those two concubines actually buy meals that were more expensive than her entire fortune! If he sent even half of what he gave to these Concubines to her, her life would have been perfect!      

No, this won't do. She has to go to the big river village and get that son of her vomit at least ten to twenty gold taels, there was no way she was going to let him live comfortably if she and her daughter were not having a good time!     

This was what he owed to her as her son!
