Chapter 237 The Tragedy of a Dancer (21)
Thinking of this, Xia's mother closed her eyes in despair. "Did the gambling den tell you about the final deadline for repayment?"
Seeing that Xia's mother was still willing to talk to him, Xia Tianyao hurriedly said, "They said that next Monday is the final deadline!"
Today is Wednesday. Where could she possibly raise so much money in just a few days?
It seems this son is ruined!
For a long time, Xia's mother remained silent. The thought of abandoning the son she had raised for so many years was indescribable.
Perhaps due to the prolonged silence, Xia Tianyao's unease grew, and he practically crawled to his mother's side on his knees.
He grabbed his mother's trouser leg, tears streaming down his face, "Mother, I was wrong! I shouldn't have trusted others so easily and been misled into gambling! Please forgive me this once, okay?"
"Mother, I swear, if you help me this time, I will never go to that place again!"
"Mother, I am your son! If you don't help me, no one else can save me!"
"The people at the gambling den told me that if I couldn't pay back the money, they would cut off my hands and feet and turn me into a cripple. Mother, I don't want to become a cripple. I beg you, please help me, okay?"
"If you can help me get through this difficult time, Mom, I swear I will study hard, become successful in the future, and take good care of you!"
"Mother, if you don't help me, I'll have no choice but to end my own life before the gambling den people come to my door!"
In order to get Xia's mother to help him, Xia Tianyao told her everything he could think of.
Xia's mother felt as if her heart was being torn apart as she watched Xia Tianyao about to speak recklessly.
She certainly wanted to help her son, but the trouble he had caused this time was far too great!
"Tianyao, you're tearing my heart out with a knife! You know better than anyone how I've treated you all these years. But right now, the family really doesn't have that much money. How can I help you?"
Xia's mother's voice trembled, filled with despair.
Xia Tianyao lowered his head and pondered for a while. When he raised his head again, there was a glimmer of hope in his eyes.
"Mother, let's go find Xia Mingwei. As long as we find her, we can get the money from her!"
"Yes, as long as I find her, I'll be saved!"
"As long as we find her, this will be resolved! Everything will be alright, everything will be alright!"
To encourage himself, Xia Tianyao forced himself to repeat the words several times.
At this moment, Xia Tianyao was completely immersed in his own world and could no longer hear anything else.
Others might not know how much money Xia Mingwei took when she left home, but Xia's mother knew it all too well!
Despite her sharp tongue towards Xia Mingwei, she actually gives almost all the money she earns at the dance hall to herself.
Aside from the necessary household expenses, the remaining money went into her secret stash.
Although you can earn a lot at the dance hall, the household expenses are also considerable!
Over the years, she has only managed to save a few hundred dollars!
Even if she took the money back then and it's found now, it won't solve the problem at all!
But seeing Xia Tianyao's current joy, Xia's mother couldn't bear to shatter his fantasy.
Fine, let him be happy for a few days!
It's not too late to tell Xia Mingwei the truth once we find her!
Perhaps a new method will come up later?
With this in mind, Xia's mother forcefully suppressed the words that were already on the tip of her tongue.
