Why Did You Provoke Her? She Can Tell Fortunes!-Chapter 47 - 20: I Finally Know Why I Got Rich
[??? Did I hear that right? The person heβs calling is βMomβ?]
[He better not be trying to ask his mom for money.]
[Impossible... after all, heβs an adult now.]
...
A few seconds later, the door to Zhang Weiβs bedroom was burst open with great force. ππ£πππππππΌππ²πΉ.ππ π
Next came a voice everyone was very familiar with.
"Look at the time, youβre still lazing in bed!"
"Sleeping during the day and awake at night, why keep calling me all the time?"
"Almost thirty and you still donβt go out to look for work!"
...
Her nagging carried through to the livestream room.
The reason the viewers felt familiar wasnβt because they knew each other, but because most people had been nagged like that by their moms.
Being scolded in public like this left Zhang Wei a bit embarrassed.
His reply was even tinged with impatience, "Oh, Iβve been looking, Iβve been looking."
"What are you in such a hurry for!"
"Give me two thousand yuan first, and Iβll definitely repay you well once I have money."
He reached out a hand, palm up, as if it was perfectly normal to mooch off his parents.
[Heβs really asking his mom for money? At this age, is he not embarrassed?]
[Iβve seen people drawing the long bow for their girlfriends, but never for their own mother.]
But apparently, his mom was already used to it.
Complaining, she transferred the money to him.
"Honestly, I donβt even know why you need so much money when you donβt even go out!"
"Canβt you save a little? Your dad and I donβt have much from our pensions either."
She said this, but her hands were still busy around the house.
"You donβt even throw the empty bottles into the trash..."
Amidst the clattering sounds, Zhang Wei seemed completely oblivious, eyes shining at the screen, with a grin growing ever wider.
After the door closed again, he scoffed arrogantly, "Tch, isnβt it just two thousand yuan."
"When I have money later, this wonβt even count as money."
[... Where does his confidence come from?]
[If I ever have a son like this, Iβd rather be childless!]
[Iβm already eagerly waiting to see what problems heβll encounter later, his entitled demeanor is really infuriating.]
After topping up his money and sending the gifts Mu Yunchu requested, Zhang Wei returned to the main page, just catching a few comments scolding him on the screen.
"Mooching off my parents?"
"Tch... Youβre just jealous!"
"What does it matter to you that I ask my mom for money? What, donβt you have a mom?"
[!]
[This is the first time I feel like joining the call and confronting this fellow.]
[Do any brothers or sisters in the livestream room know him? Iβm willing to pay five hundred to have him beaten up!]
...
Seeing the situation escalating, Mu Yunchu intervened just in time to break the stalemate between the two sides.
"You were just about to calculate when youβll get rich, right?"
"Yes, yes."
Hearing the word "rich," Zhang Wei lost all interest in arguing with the netizens.
He could still differentiate what mattered more.
Although he stopped, the viewersβ mocking didnβt.
[We donβt even need the host, I can tell you outright, thatβs just impossible!]
[Exactly, if someone like you can get rich, then heaven must be blind.]
Zhang Wei pouted.
"Well, you never know."
"You guys donβt know? Wealth is destined by fate."
Perhaps someone like him with no real job truly has a destiny to get rich.
[Pardon my bluntness, even if someone is destined for wealth, it definitely wonβt be you.]
[I agree, otherwise it would be too unfair to those who work hard.]
[But Iβm still curious, what gives this guy his confidence?]
Upon seeing this comment, Zhang Weiβs expression suddenly became enigmatic.
He leaned close to the screen, lowering his voice, "Iβll tell you straight."
"Actually, Iβve always had a feeling."
[What feeling?]
"The feeling that Iβll get rich."
[...]
[Hahahahaha... Sorry, I generally donβt laugh, unless I canβt help it.]
[Honestly, Iβve had that feeling late at night too. I advise you, brother, to recognize reality soon.]
In the face of everyoneβs distrust and ridicule, Zhang Wei dismissively waved his hand.
"You guys arenβt me, you wouldnβt understand."
"Iβm the chosen one!"
[I regret arguing with him earlier; turns out heβs just foolish.]
"Besides, I donβt need you to tell me."
"I want to listen to the beautiful streamer."
Zhang Weiβs pupils shifted, looking hopefully at Mu Yunchu.
Hoping she would give him a favorable answer.
Mu Yunchu didnβt answer right away.
Instead, she asked him, "What do you mean by getting rich?"
At least have a figure in mind.
After all, for some people, a sudden windfall of two thousand yuan is already a fortune.
After listening, Zhang Wei seemed to ponder deeply, rubbing his chin, and then said something that made the viewers even angrier.
"At least a hundred to two hundred thousand, right?"
"Or else how could it be considered rich?"
A job earning three to five thousand, he could find that anywhere.
[???]
[You say it like itβs true.]
[I canβt believe youβd easily find a three to five thousand job just by walking out the door.]
[I suspect this man hasnβt had a job since graduating, or heβd know how tough the current job market is.]
[Agreed. As a corporate slave left with only two thousand three after insurance, I quietly raise a paw.]
Zhang Wei shrugged indifferently, "Then you must not be trying hard enough."
"Not to mention anything else, what can you even do with two thousand yuan a month?" He counted onto his fingers, enumerating his monthly expenses.
"Letβs not talk about food and drinks, but at least three thousand should go into gaming every month, right?"
If you canβt even afford the basic leisure.
Then whatβs the point of living?
[Fine, you keep talking big, Iβll just wait quietly for you to be slapped in the face.]
But to everyoneβs surprise, Mu Yunchu gave an unexpected answer.
"If thatβs what you mean, then I can tell you that you will receive an unexpected transfer today."
"Really!?"
Zhang Wei jumped up in excitement.
His smile reflected in Mu Yunchuβs deep, dark pupils, altering its nature.
"See, I told you Iβd have money!"
Not forgetting to flaunt to the livestream audience.
"I told you not to look down on me with dog eyes."
The latter expressed their disbelief at the response.
[Why? Host, did you miscalculate? Others I can understand, but him having money is really unsettling.]
[Yeah, did he really strike luck and win the lottery? Otherwise, I really canβt think of how someone like him could get rich.]
Zhang Wei was already whistling triumphantly to himself.
Such joy made him feel like something was missing from his throat.
He downed the half can of beer left on the nightstand.
Suddenly, he thought of something.
"No kidding, host, youβve got something up your sleeve!"
"I might know why Iβm going to get rich!"
