“Wuchen doesn’t eat meat, does he? He only eats vegetables and tofu, so why would he need a thousand yuan? I was just chatting with someone about this. It’s that old lady from the Xu family, who often dances disco with me. Her granddaughter is also studying at university in Pingjiang. Her monthly living expenses are five hundred yuan, which includes food, and she still has some money left over!”

Lin Shufang couldn't understand it either, feeling that Wuchen's spending was too high.

It was quite a coincidence. She had just finished talking to someone else about this topic. The old lady of the Xu family was complaining that going to school was too expensive now. Her granddaughter's living expenses were 500 yuan a month. Her son was well-off, but her daughter and son-in-law were just average. They were ordinary workers, and it was a bit of a burden to support a college student.

Fortunately, Mrs. Xu could secretly deduct some money from the grocery money each month to subsidize her daughter, but she couldn't deduct much each month. Mrs. Xu's daughter-in-law was particularly shrewd, calculating the grocery money every month meticulously and ensuring that the family's meals included both meat and vegetables. Otherwise, the daughter-in-law would immediately turn hostile, making Mrs. Xu lose face.

Xu's son is irresponsible and listens to his wife completely. He always sides with his wife when talking about his mother. Xu's mother often complains about her son and daughter-in-law in private. In addition, her daughter is not doing well, so she is always frowning. She always hopes that her son can lend a helping hand to her daughter. Unfortunately, her son listens to his wife completely, and his wife is cold-hearted. It is estimated that the old lady's beautiful wish will never be realized in her lifetime.

Ye Qingqing was stunned. Three to one? That's a huge difference!

"Can 500 yuan last a month and still have some left over?"

“Yes, that’s what Grandma Xu said. She even complained that her granddaughter was spending too much and told her to spend less. I advised Grandma Xu that if the young lady is too frugal, it will be too stingy. Besides, her daughter and son-in-law’s combined salary is about three thousand yuan, so five hundred yuan is still enough to support her.”

Ye Qingqing was wide awake and began to suspect where Wuchen's 1,500 yuan had gone. The money was a small matter, but she was worried that Wuchen had made bad friends.

"Are you dating someone? I've heard that a lot of college students are dating these days," Lin Shufang guessed.

"Impossible. What kind of silly girl would she be dating? She's turned all the guys into brothers." Ye Qingqing categorically denied it.

Lin Shufang also thought it was unlikely. That girl hadn't even developed romantic feelings yet, so why would she spend so much money if she wasn't dating? She didn't buy clothes or cosmetics either. Wuchen always wore sportswear and sneakers, and the colors were always black, white, and gray. She wouldn't wear any other colors, and Ye Qingqing bought all her clothes. She only cared about eating.

"No, I have to go to her school and see if she's making friends indiscriminately." Ye Qingqing decided to go to the teachers' college. Wuchen has been in college for a year, and she hasn't been to the school yet, which is really inappropriate.

"Then I'll go with you," Lin Shufang said, still worried.

Ye Qingqing laughed, "No need, I'm not made of tofu. I'm only four months pregnant, and I can do my daily activities without any problems. Mom, can you prepare some snacks for me? I'll take them to school in a few days."

Sleepiness came over her again, and Ye Qingqing unconsciously slumped over. Lin Shufang covered her with a blanket and busied herself making dumplings with chives, eggs, and dried shrimp filling, which Ye Qingqing loved to eat now. She would make a lot more and freeze them.

A few days later, Ye Qingqing, along with some snacks Lin Shufang had prepared, such as dried tofu, spicy bamboo shoots, and potato chips, drove to the Normal University. Seeing the solemn and dignified plaque, Ye Qingqing suddenly thought of Li Shanxing, a girl whose ability and ambition were inversely proportional, but unfortunately, she was ruined by her own *****.
