Power of Money novel Chapter 179

"Am I wrong?" Jim said, face dark, "Look at you now, you still have accomplished nothing. Even if you plagiarised your way to college, you've wasted the tuition fees from your parents for four years. Now you still have nothing! Look at our Sarah, although she failed in the college entrance examination and got into a public university, she is now a civil servant! And with authority! What about you, you're still unaccomplished but you still dare to boast here without any shame. It proves that my views back then were not wrong! You'll never get anywhere, and you won't achieve anything in life!"

"Haha, when you were a teacher, you probably used this to insult a lot of students that you didn't like, right?" Jason was not angry but laughed.

"A student like you, if you were in my class, I would have expelled you without even giving you a chance to enter university. You were lucky your parents borrowed money to send you to college. But in the end, they raised a useless thing like you, it's so embarrassing. Do you even look like a college student now?"

Jim didn't expect that this peasant relative, especially Jason, dared to talk to him like this today. He was so angry that his fingers were trembling, and he could only point at Jason desperately and accuse him.

"So you still remember that my dad once borrowed money for my tuition fees from you..."

Looking at Jim's flushed face, Jason suddenly smiled.

"1000 yuan, right? I remember it very clearly. After I got into college, my family borrowed money from different places, but they were still lacking 1000 yuan. My dad was helpless and after thinking, he could only call his only relative in the city. He needed to get 4000 yuan to get me on the train to Nandu to get to school."

"I remember that my dad made the call in front of me. He begged you all, he begged my second aunt, his sister, and his brother-in-law, to lend me the 1000 yuan so I could go to school. It would only be a month at most, where he would be able to harvest the wheat, sell them, and pay you back."

"But what did you say on the phone? Do you still remember?"

Jason took a step forward and faced the horrified gazes from Jim and Sarah. He laughed and said, "You're just from the countryside, why would you go to college? Our Sarah is also only going to a public university, your son must have plagiarised his way in. It would only be a waste of money for him to go to college. Why not let him go to work in a car garage? He can start earning money, get married, give birth to kids. That's all you have to your family, why would you torture yourself?"

"At that time, my dad and my mother begged you on the phone. They even wanted to kneel on the ground and kowtow to you! But as for you guys, it's fine if you didn't want to lend us the money. You ridiculed me, provoked my parents, and insulted us! You couldn't wait to squash our faces into the ground so you could show the superiority of your family in the city, right?"

"Yes, our family belongs to the countryside, and our ancestors are from the countryside. But what's wrong with the villagers? Do villagers not have any dignity? Can't they go to the city to study, have the hunger to change themselves, to change the fate of our families, and let them live a good life?"

"Do you know how we got that 1000 yuan in the end? Hmm?"

Jason looked at the two people and laughed lowly, "Behind my back, my parents walked more than ten kilometers in the mountains. They went to the county to sell their blood. After selling their blood, they only ate an egg each, then walked the same journey back, just so they could give me that 1000 yuan!"

"For you, 1000 yuan is nothing at all. I remember that you were showing off on the phone with my father at that time. You just bought a suite in the New District and a car. For you, 1000 yuan is just enough to simply fill up your car petrol, having a meal, and having fun on the weekend. But then, this 1000 yuan almost took the lives of my family!"

"Don't you know that sometimes, 1000 yuan is enough to force a person to die?"

As Jason said, tears flowed down from the corner of his eyes.

He thought of the past.

He thought of a family of three sitting in an old tiled house in the countryside, eating a plate of plain cabbage, and worrying about his tuition fees for the next semester.

Every year before the beginning of school, his parents had to humbly call their relatives one by one. Then they would go to different houses to knock on their doors and be insulted to the bone.

He also thought of how their family did not dare to go to the hospital when they were sick, but stick it out at home. It was to the point that they were so sick and could not get out of bed, only then would they be carried into the hospital.

"400,000..."

Jason looked at Jim and Sarah, and his face turned a little ferocious. He sneered in a low voice and said, "Don't even mention 400,000,1 can take out 1.4 million yuan now. But if I put it here, would you dare to take it?"

Boom!

Before Jason finished his words, the gate of the villa was pushed open.

"Bring them in."

At the door, Yennie commanded lowly.

Then, eight middle-aged men in suits carried in four black suitcases and walked in front of them. In front of everyone, they opened the suitcases, and piles of red notes, like drops of water, all fell on the table in front of them.

One bundle was ten thousand yuan.

There were a total of 800 bundles.

A grand total of 8 million!

It was piled up like a red hill. On the table, on the ground, on the sofa, it was scattered everywhere.

In an instant, the whole villa turned into a sea of money.

"This, this is..."

Jim and Sarah were stunned.
