One of the Jiang family’s shops was a rice shop.

Du's mother usually relied on the fact that she was the original owner's future mother-in-law and said she came to buy things, but every time she didn't pay and just said it was on account.

The Jiang family also took their feelings into consideration and did not ask her for money.

After a while, Du's mother took this matter for granted.

Today, Du's mother went to the store to get food again. She was arrogant, as if she was the owner of the store, and she was not polite to the shop assistant, "Give me five catties of fine rice."

If she could carry it, she would not have taken so little.

The waiter looked at her shameless appearance and quietly rolled his eyes, "Auntie Du, five catties of fine rice costs a total of 125 coins."

When Du's mother heard the waiter tell her the price, she was very unhappy. She pretended not to hear it and just waited for the waiter to pack the refined rice for her.

The waiter naturally couldn't be polite to her after receiving the order. Moreover, he had long been annoyed with Aunt Du who always came to ask for money. "Aunt Du, the total is one hundred and twenty-five cents."

Now, even if Du's mother wanted to pretend not to hear, she couldn't do it. She raised her voice and said, "Keep the account first, and pretend to hear it quickly."

Upon hearing this, the clerk took out an account book and said, "Auntie Du, you have been buying grain from our store for the past few years and have never paid. Now it's time to settle the bill. The total is sixteen taels and five cents."

When Du's mother heard this, she was furious. "What do you mean by sixteen taels and five cents? Why don't you just go and rob me? I'm a relative of your Jiang family. How dare you take money from me?"

The waiter was naturally not afraid of her after receiving the instructions. He walked to the door of the store and started talking in a raised voice.

The people nearby were attracted by the man's voice and hurried over to see what was going on.

When Du's mother saw this scene, she panicked. Her son was her life, and she was afraid that she would bring trouble to her son. She did not dare to argue with the guys and just wanted to leave this place of trouble as soon as possible.

Seeing Du's mother walk away in disgrace, the waiter spat.

There were several students among the onlookers. At first they didn't care, but when they accidentally heard Du Huaqing's name, they realized that the old woman who was arguing with others was actually Du Huaqing's mother.

After finding out the details, they realized that it was Du's mother who came to the store every time to ask for money, using the title of in-laws as an excuse. She was really shameless.

After these people knew about this, they went to confirm it with people nearby, and this time their eyes lit up.

They had always looked down upon Du Huaqing's behavior, but they were hindered by his good popularity in the academy.

Now that they had the chance, they naturally wanted to make fun of Du Huaqing, so that other classmates would know how this gentleman who always looked so righteous actually extorted money from the family of the girl he was engaged to.

After several people explained it, the news quickly spread throughout the academy.

Du Huaqing had no idea that the thing he had tried so hard to cover up had been discovered.

His face looked very ugly, but he still maintained his usual noble appearance.

Perhaps because of Du Huaqing's past behavior, many people believed what Du Huaqing said, thinking that someone was just maliciously slandering them.

And those people just wanted to annoy Du Huaqing, so he didn't mind.

Du Huaqing finally waited until the class was finished at the academy, and then hurried home, wanting to ask Du's mother what had happened and why she had made him be laughed at.
