Chapter 659 - 657: No Need for That
Lady Zhao was at a loss for words by Wong Qiao’s remarks, unable to catch her breath, with tears almost spilling from her eyes. Her son, whom she had raised through hardship, was growing estranged and showing deep affection for the ruthless outsiders who exploited him.
"How could I have given birth to a son like you, who can’t tell right from wrong? You do so much work and only take a ten percent share, and do you really think that’s too much? I may not know about other things, but take these Three Thousand Taels of Silver for example, how much do you actually get after toiling so hard? Didn’t I raise you with difficulty, hoping that you would spend more time with me and live a comfortable and stable life?"
It was all too familiar, Wong Qiao’s heart filled with bitterness. His mother had indeed suffered, that he couldn’t deny. But what exactly would make his mother happy?
Wong Qiao looked at Lady Zhao with sorrow and asked, "Mother, what do you think? Tell me, I will listen to you, and we’ll do as you say." It seemed he had to seriously consider whether he should stay at his uncle’s or not, and then there was Biyao...
"I..." Lady Zhao paused, "All I want is for you to receive what you deserve, not to work for others day and night, only to be stepped on as they make money and enjoy life."
Wong Qiao shook his head and said, "I was just a craftsman who followed a workshop head, and even if I could earn a few hundred large coins more than others per month, I was still just an ordinary craftsman. Since I have been with my uncle, people have started to call me the chief manager in just a few short years, and our life has improved so much. I have no face to speak of these things to my uncle."
Lady Zhao glared at him for a good while before saying, "Today, I sought out your uncle."
"What? You went to my uncle?" Wong Qiao immediately felt a sense of foreboding, "What did you say?"
