Chapter: 5236

"Yes..." Ma'er didn't bother to hide it anymore and directly said: "It's not that Wang Hongyan! She makes money by live-streaming, flaunting her wealth like a person who doesn't know how to act. She even comes in front of me, boasting loudly. I'm so angry... I just thought, if she can do it, why can't I? So I also opened a live stream... and then this kind of thing happened..."

As she spoke, she wiped away her tears, choking back sobs: "Truly, to die before achieving one's goals, with tears filling my chest... waaah... waaah..."

Xiao Churen sighed: "Mom... you don't lack food, drink, clothes, or accessories. What are you trying to learn from others' live streams?"

Ma'er glared at Xiao Churen and asked back: "What's wrong with me not lacking anything? Why can't I say that those celebrities and influencers who livestream every day are also learning from others? You see those influencers who earn hundreds of millions per year, working 365 days a year, and they're eager to livestream 360 times a year! And there are those celebrities, busy filming dramas, singing, and appearing on variety shows, with even more time to spare to open livestreams and promote themselves. Compared to them, I'm nothing! They don't mind working hard for money, so why can't I?"

As Xiao Churen spoke, she sighed: "Mom, it's not like anyone can just do a livestream. Grandma does one because she has someone watching her, and that's because she relies on Grandpa and Xiao Hai Long being bedridden and selling pitifully, with an 80-year-old grandma sitting beside her - those are the highlights of her livestream..."

As she spoke, Xiao Churen was also trying to comfort her mom, so she said: "Mom, don't worry. If Grandma were like you, doing a solo livestream, she would definitely have no one watching..."

Ma'er's brow furrowed and she asked angrily: "What do you mean, Xiao? Are you saying Mom's livestream has no one watching?"

Xiao Churen didn't think that her intention to comfort her mom had been misinterpreted. She sighed: "Mom, I'm not saying that..."

Ma'er waved her hand dismissively: "Forget it. You don't need to explain anything. Explaining is just covering up, and you're basically thinking that my attempt at livestreaming will fail from the start!"

Xiao Churen sighed again: "Well, what do you think? If you feel like there's still a chance for you, then I'll support you. However, no matter how this ends - whether it succeeds or fails - you need to control your emotions and not let things get out of hand. Don't let disappointment burn in your belly until it affects your physical health, okay?"

Ma'er was spiteful and didn't listen to reason, but she sometimes still managed to catch the good intention behind Xiao Churen's words. She knew that her daughter wasn't saying anything wrong.

After all, when doing something, you can't lose money, face, or reputation.

"So, she looked at Xiao Churen and nodded, saying: 'Alright, Xiao Churen, just relax, I'm just a bit upset for now, but it'll pass soon. It's only 72 hours, right? 72 hours later, I'll come back! As for the Xiao family, I've been taking care of them for nearly 30 years, and I don't care about these 72 hours. Even if it's 72 days, I'll fight to the end!'"

Xiao Churen saw her mother's unyielding attitude and didn't know whether to praise or criticize her.

However, she thought again, considering that they were under a 72-hour restriction, which meant that for the next three days, she wouldn't have to worry about her mother acting like this anymore.

This sudden lightened her mood, so she asked Ma'er: 'Mom, dinner's been left for you. Do you want to go down and eat something?'

'Forget it.' Ma'er said with a sulky tone: 'I'm so fed up with these scoundrels, I don't even feel like eating...'

Xiao Churen sighed: 'Well then, just wait until you're hungry again.'

Ma'er nodded slightly, looking somewhat sulky: 'Alright, Xiao Churen, go eat already. Let Mom be alone for a while.'

As she spoke, Ma'er couldn't help but lament: 'This period of time is really too miserable, as if my good fortune has been exhausted since that winning lottery...''

Xiao Churen curiously asked: 'Mom, what are you talking about?'

'Oh well!' Ma'er muttered under her breath: 'That's just last time I bought something...'"

As she spoke, Ma'er realized she had almost let something slip and quickly came up with a fabrication: "Actually, it was just before I went to the mall, I won a special prize that said I could buy a rare jade at zero point one discount, worth a hundred thousand yuan, for only ten thousand yuan..."

Xiao Churen spoke up quietly: "Those are all scams, didn't you get duped?"

Ma'er hastened to say: "Of course not! Is there anyone who could fool me?" JrNovels.com
