Chapter 173 - Mo Family Gets Into Trouble (2) (1/2)

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

If Aunt Mo hadn’t spent a lot of money on Mo s.h.i.+yun in recent years, she would have saved up even more money.

However, all of that money was now trapped!

All of it…

Mo s.h.i.+yun felt as though she got struck by a bolt from the blue.

She knew all too well how hard it was to live without money.

And now, life was finally getting better. However…

Mo s.h.i.+yun was angry and sad at the same time when she cried out, “Mother! You’ve never done trading before! Why did you decide to trade stocks all of a sudden?”

Her mother knew nothing about the stock market. Why would she suddenly take all of her earnings and invest it into the stock market?

“I… I saw Aunt An make a lot of money off the stock market! She bought a house in the city with the money that she earned. She said that once she couldn’t work anymore, she would use that money for her retirement… It seemed quite profitable… That’s why I decided to trade stocks as well. At the start, the stocks that I bought were doing quite well… As a result, I invested everything into the market. I wanted to make more money!”

Aunt Mo didn’t understand the stock market. However, when she saw how much money Aunt An was earning, she thought that she could do the same. If Aunt An could earn money like that, why couldn’t she?

“Mother! Why would you do that… Speculating the prices of stocks isn’t an easy thing to do! If anyone could earn money from the stock market, why would anyone work?”

Mo s.h.i.+yun was furious. Out of anger, the edges of her eyes were turning red.

“I know… I know I was wrong…” Aunt Mo cried. Her entire body was shaking from her tears.

Aunt Mo knew that she had done the wrong thing. However, there was nothing that she could do about it anymore.

Her money was trapped in the stock market. She couldn’t get her money back out.

Not only did she lose the money that she’d saved up for her daughter’s tuition, but she also couldn’t get the money that she needed for a lawsuit.

Aunt Mo was tormented with agony.

“Mother, don’t be sad. Let’s figure out a way to get the divorce done first.”

Mo s.h.i.+yun had recovered from her initial stages of shock and anger.
