Du Huaqing is naturally cold-hearted, and coupled with the temperament brought up by his mother, he can be described as selfish.

Now that Du Hua has been liquidated, his path to the imperial examination has been completely cut off. How can being unfilial be something that can suppress him?

Now Du's mother's life was even more miserable than before. Sometimes the neighbors gave her some food out of pity, but there was no more left. Nowadays, no one was rich, and they only helped in emergencies, not in poverty. How could they care so much?

What's more, her own son doesn't care about her, so how can they, as neighbors, do anything?

Du Huaqing originally just wanted to be a useless person, but people have to eat after all, so he had no choice but to take some book copying jobs, which could barely fill his stomach and leave some money left to buy wine.

Naturally, no one was willing to hire him as an accountant. After all, the boss valued character the most.

As for the teacher, no one was willing to hire him. After all, such an unfilial son might corrupt their own children.

Fu Qi looked at Du Huaqing's miserable appearance and just sneered.

He acted like this just because he had ruined his future.

That day, while Du Huaqing was on his way back, Fu Qi came with a stick and knocked him unconscious from behind, breaking his arm. From then on, he could only support himself by copying books.

The sins that follow are still waiting for him.

Du Huaqing kept fainting on the ground. Finally, two neighbors who were passing by saw him like this and helped carry him back home.

Du Huaqing woke up to his mother's crying, but his attention was soon distracted by the pain in his hand.

He only felt a sharp pain in his arm, and beads of sweat the size of beans slid down his forehead.

The person who sent him back, seeing how miserable both mother and son were, kindly asked, "Do you want me to call a doctor for you?"

But after saying this, the man regretted it. If he had no money, would he have to pay for it himself?

Fortunately, Du Huaqing replied that he had money, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and went to ask a doctor for him.

After leaving the house, he took a deep breath and finally relaxed his flushed face, "This guy really stinks."

After the doctor finished bandaging Du Huaqing despite the stench, he said, "Although the bone has been fixed now, I'm afraid you won't be able to do delicate work in the future. The bone was badly broken, and it's good enough to be fixed."

The doctor asked for fifty cents, but the man only had twenty cents. The doctor's face became even uglier and he felt unlucky. However, he was too lazy to care and just packed up his medicine box and left.

In the past, the doctor would never have let the debtor go, but this house was so smelly that he was afraid he would suffocate to death if he stayed any longer.

Now, no one in the family can do anything, and they are completely out of food.

As for the twenty cents that Du Huaqing gave to the doctor, it was the reward he received for copying books, and he gave it all away at once.

After being hungry for a day, Du's mother finally managed to get up, crawled to the water tank and wiped herself to avoid getting so dirty.

Fu Qi was surprised to learn about this from the people he sent out to keep an eye on the Du family. However, considering how much Du's mother loved her son, it was hard to believe that she was such a loving mother.

It’s a pity that she is only kind to her own son.

Du's mother simply threw away her old face, found a stick, and slowly moved out step by step. After a long while, she finally reached the door of the neighbor's house and kept knocking on it.

As soon as the door was opened, she started asking for food. If I didn't give her any, she would fall to the ground and get stuck at the door. I couldn't beat her or scold her, so I could only give her some food with a sullen face and then send her away.

At first, I was very surprised to see Du's mother come out, but seeing her begging-like behavior now, I just felt unlucky.

Finally, he looked at the threshold, so angry that he carried two buckets of water and rinsed it thoroughly before he calmed down.
