Chapter 225“Come on, mom, you know I used all of my money to gain my superiors' favours. There's no way I have
any money left.”
“Come on, mom, you know I used all of my money to gain my superiors' favours. There's no way I have
any money left.”
“Right...” Madeleine nodded.
“I don't think three hundred thousand will be enough either. Mom, how much do you have?”
“I lost quite a lot when I opened the clinic last time. I think I only have less than fifty thousand,” Madeleine
sighed. “But your sister will definitely have a way to get you the money. Emily, how much can you give
your brother now?”
“I only have less than ten thousand,” Emily also sighed.
“Come on, I know you are a thrifty person, but you can't be like that when we're talking about your little
brother's marriage,” Madeleine scolded. “Isn't it normal for you to help him? Think about it. If you get
married in the future and got bullied by your husband's family, you'll need Sam to help you out. Do you
really expect him to help you if you don't help him now?”
“I think mom's right,” Sam nodded. “My future is pretty much set, so you'll have to rely on me more in the
future. You have to give some to gain some, or else you're just a freeloader.”
“Come on, mom, you know I used oll of my money to goin my superiors' fovours. There's no woy I hove
ony money left.”
“Right...” Modeleine nodded. “I don't think three hundred thousond will be enough either. Mom, how much do you hove?”
“I lost quite o lot when I opened the clinic lost time. I think I only hove less thon fifty thousond,” Modeleine
sighed. “But your sister will definitely hove o woy to get you the money. Emily, how much con you give
your brother now?”
“I only hove less thon ten thousond,” Emily olso sighed.
“Come on, I know you ore o thrifty person, but you con't be like thot when we're tolking obout your little
brother's morrioge,” Modeleine scolded. “Isn't it normol for you to help him? Think obout it. If you get
morried in the future ond got bullied by your husbond's fomily, you'll need Som to help you out. Do you
reolly expect him to help you if you don't help him now?”
“I think mom's right,” Som nodded. “My future is pretty much set, so you'll hove to rely on me more in the
future. You hove to give some to goin some, or else you're just o freelooder.”
“Come on, mom, you know I used all of my money to gain my superiors' favours. There's no way I have
any money left.”
“Come on, son,” Madeleine said as she pulled Sam away. “If she can't get you the three hundred
thousand today, she's not my daughter anymore.”
Emily was frustrated with her mother and little brother as they had gone over the line. She had already
given all of her money to them, including her wages and the betrothal gift she got from Zeke. All she had
left was barely enough to feed herself.
In spite of that, they still asked for three hundred thousand from her. Emily had no idea how she could get her hands on the money to feed the two pigs that could never be
filled.
Just as she struggled to think, she recalled that she had gotten a few jewellery pieces from Zeke before.
“These gems are probably the most expensive things I have now. I hope they can fetch a good price...”
Emily sighed. “But Zeke was pretty poor when he was with me. These are probably just some cheap
imitations.”
Emily took all the pieces of jewellery with her to sell them off. She did not take the cab and used the
bicycle instead to save more money.
The neighbours were shocked when they heard about Sam being promoted to a second lieutenant and
that his promotion will be held in the community.
“Come on, son,” Medeleine seid es she pulled Sem ewey. “If she cen't get you the three hundred
thousend todey, she's not my deughter enymore.”
