After returning from my cultivation journey, I built a farm through fortune telling.

Chapter 15: All Spent on Men
"Bai Wei!!!"

Bai Chen went berserk.

"Are you crazy?!"

He almost screamed like a chicken, but he managed to stay somewhat rational and knew his parents were downstairs in the kitchen, so he could only lower his voice and ask, "Why are you borrowing so much money?"

Suddenly remembering something, he felt a chill run down his spine. He rushed over, rolled up Bai Wei's sleeve, and found her arm smooth and white, without anything that shouldn't be there.

"Thank goodness—" He breathed a sigh of relief, but his heart was still pounding: "You gambled?"

Bai Wei shook her head: "No..."

"Then how did you—sigh..."

Bai Chen wanted to explode, but found himself too exhausted to do so. He could only slump onto the sofa, glance at Bai Lu, and his meaning was clear—you do it, I'm done for.

Bai Lu's molars were in terrible pain, making a rattling sound. Looking at Bai Wei, she really wanted to pry open the back of her head: "Spending money on men, you've really made something of yourself!"

"A man? Tian Yao?"

Bai Chen raised his hand to his heart and chuckled, "I usually struggle to ask you for three hundred yuan, and you're giving him tens of thousands?! You—"

Bai Chen pressed his philtrum hard to prevent himself from collapsing. He couldn't afford to faint now; he needed to figure out just how big a mess Bai Wei had gotten herself into.

He didn't realize it until he calculated it, and he felt that his great-grandmother was coming to pick him up—Great-grandmother, take Bai Wei, that brainless idiot, away!

She's so stupid, she definitely isn't a child of the Bai family! Bai Wei has five credit cards, ten microloan platforms, and all sorts of other things, totaling 180,000 yuan, plus 50,000 yuan in cash borrowed from classmates and friends, for a total of 230,000 yuan.

Upon calculating this number, Bai Lu tightly closed her eyes—what a disaster!
"Ha ha ha ha!"

Bai Chen laughed in exasperation: "You're really generous! You have money to support your boyfriend, but not to support your own parents!"

“Mom always nags me, saying that you’re too tight-fisted with money. Apart from giving me three or five hundred yuan during holidays, I never see you give me more than two yuan. I even made excuses for you, saying that you’re under a lot of pressure living in Dongcheng. Who knew that you have money, but you spend it all on men!”

"The most outrageous thing is that you only interned in Dongcheng for a year, and then you actually went back to Yangcheng. It's only a 20-minute walk from home, and you lied about it for two whole years. What were you thinking, Bai Wei? I don't even recognize you anymore! How could you pretend like that? You acted like nothing was wrong and even made me pick you up at the station—why are you so dramatic?"

Bai Chen's scolding was merciless, and Bai Wei finally couldn't hold back her tears, sobbing and choking, "I didn't want to either! Don't I want to give my parents money? But I've borrowed too much, and my monthly salary isn't enough to pay it back. I can only rob Peter to pay Paul—"

Bai Chen: "You're just using loans to pay off other loans! 180,000 yuan in loans, and you only pay 4,000 yuan a month, is that enough to cover the interest? Why are you helping him borrow money? Did he threaten you?"

Bai Wei shook her head, crying, "Mom didn't agree to us being together at first, saying his home was too far away. We thought that if he could settle down in Yangcheng, Mom wouldn't have a reason to object..."

Egret: "..."

"So after we got our diplomas, we quit our jobs in Dongcheng and returned to Yangcheng. But the wages in Yangcheng were too low, averaging only 3,500 yuan. So we worked while looking for opportunities to start our own business."

"Later, he met some people, registered a small company, and found some connections to work as a construction team for a state-owned enterprise. He himself studied civil engineering, and he found three or four workers, plus himself, to form a construction team..."
