Reborn in the 80s, Get Rich by Eating Melons-Chapter 740: Do You Think it is for Free?

"Godmother, from now on, you’re my godmother, and I’m your goddaughter. I’ve always liked you and have long wanted you to be my godmother."

Tong Yue was sweet-tongued and with just a few words, managed to make Hu Haiyun beam with joy, laughing so hard her mouth wouldn’t close.

Tong Yao laughed saying, "I don’t know who this child takes after, she’s so sweet-tongued."

"You’re my mommy, so obviously I take after you." Tong Yue sweetly said.

"I totally agree with that." Hu Haiyun laughed.

Tong Yao could only shake her head. At that moment, another group of students ran out of the school. Tong Yue shouted, "Brother’s coming out."

Tong Yao spotted Si Yang in the crowd almost instantly. He emerged from the school with the composure of a grown man. She saw an echo of Si Chen in him.

She thought to herself that Si Chen must have been just like Si Yang when he was going to school. Seeing the adorableness of the two children, Tong Yao’s thoughts drifted towards the beggar, and a sense of foreboding welled up in her heart.

That evening, after freshening up, Tong Yao returned to her room and told Si Chen about her encounter with the beggar.

"I ran into that beggar again today. He ran away as soon as he saw me, just like a guilty thief. I feel like it’s a bit too coincidental, and it’s making me uneasy."

Si Chen, too, sensed something amiss. After a moment’s thought, he said,"I’ll take them to school in the coming days and speak to their teachers about not letting anyone else come into contact with them. You and mom and dad go pick them up in the afternoon."

Tong Yao agreed, "We can only do this. By the way, were there any incidents at the hospital recently?"

She feared that some issue might have arisen at the hospital, leading to a reprisal similar to what they had experienced before, with their children being targeted.

She had thought it through, and it seemed as if she hadn’t offended anyone recently. That’s why she wanted to confirm the situation with Si Chen, just to check if anyone got offended at the hospital.

Si Chen shook his head, "No."

He pursed his lips and said, "You too, be careful. If you want to go shopping, have Jinnian accompany you. Don’t go out alone."

"Don’t worry, there’s nothing to concern about me. I’m just worried about the kids." As a mother, her greatest fear was her children getting hurt or sick.

Perhaps she still had the matter on her mind, that night she dreamt of the beggar harming her children, which scared her into a cold sweat.

Meanwhile, the beggar was standing in the shadows, watching as Si Xiaohui tussled with a man outside her dormitory. They struggled for a while, with Xiaohui finally pushing the man away in annoyance.

"Aren’t you annoying? Who ever heard of a man asking for his money back after spending on a woman? Are you even a man?" frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

However, the man seemed to be resolute in his attitude, "You said you were going to marry me; that’s why I gave you all my money. Since you aren’t willing to get married, just give me back my money. That’s my savings for getting married."

Xiaohui was driven to madness. This man had once pursued her relentlessly, saying he didn’t care about her past. She had thought she had found a good man, only to realize he was a pauper. Not long after they got together, he had run out of money. Was she supposed to starve and suffer with him?

Who could have thought that two or three months later, he would track her down and ask for his money back?

Even if she had money, she wouldn’t give him any and besides, she was broke now.

It was only natural for men to spend on women. She had never heard of anyone asking for his money back.

"Anyway, I have no money and besides, didn’t you think I’d accompany you for free?"
