She knew that her salary would increase during the Chinese New Year, but no one told her how much it would be.
The whole family seemed to accept her, but at the same time were wary of her.
This was not the result she wanted. Her life was worse than before this incident.
At first she thought they must not believe her and were testing her, so she didn't say anything.
Now that several days had passed, she felt it was time to say something.
"The food out there is getting more and more expensive. This bunch of beans cost me more than a dollar. I might as well eat meat."
Wang Cuilan glanced at it indifferently and thought, what if I don’t know the price?
Who would believe that this bunch of beans costs just over one dollar?
Of course, she knew that beans were expensive.
"Fang Qing, you have to be careful when buying vegetables. Don't buy beans if they are expensive. The beans are just coming out this year, right? They must be expensive."
Fang Qing choked and said, "Mom, I just wanted to give you something fresh to eat."
"Okay, I see you are filial, so don't buy it next time."
"OK."
She sat aside picking beans and asked, "Mom, is the family in financial difficulty now?"
"No, what's wrong?"
"No? Why hasn't Jiang Ting given me any money for the expenses?"
Wang Cuilan shook her head. "I don't know. I don't recognize money. I never manage or ask about the money at home."
Fang Qing pouted and turned to ask Lu Cong, "Dad, this money..."
Lu Cong snorted coldly and said, "How would I know where to go? You ask me for money, but I'm an old man, where would I get the money?"
Fang Qing: “…”
Well, let’s just endure it for a few days and wait for Lu Jiangting to come back.
Lu Jiangting rarely goes home now and usually lives in the dormitory.
But she clearly remembered that after she moved out, Lu Jiangting often returned home, and only occasionally did she not come back.
…
At noon, Lin Yuyao called Fu Huaiyi.
"Then Yang Guangzong might not believe what we said. He stayed at Xiaotong's door all night last night."
"Oh, he's not afraid of the cold, so let him stay here."
"Yeah, humph, since Ye Xiaotong is not here, let's see how long he can hold out."
After thinking for a while, she continued, "That's Sister Le Yi's house. Do you think it's bad for him to squat at the door all the time?"
Fu Huaiyi: "What should we do then?"
Lin Yuyao: "Nothing, I just feel it's not very good."
Someone called her at this moment, and Lin Yuyao hurriedly said, "I have something to do, I'll hang up first."
Lin Yuyao hung up the phone directly.
Hearing the beeping sound from the other side, Fu Huaiyi frowned slightly.
It's not a good idea to wait at the door.
Should he take advantage of the opportunity to do something?
After hanging up the phone, Fu Huaiyi returned to his workstation with a heavy heart.
We had just finished lunch and it was not yet time to go to work, so everyone gathered in groups of three or five to chat.
A few days ago, Lao Wang said that there would be a salary increase, and the salary was paid today.
Sure enough, everyone’s price went up by fifty dollars.
Lao Wang is still very humane. Generally speaking, he lets them go home early on the day their wages are paid.
I usually work overtime until nine or ten o'clock, but today I can leave at five o'clock.
It was said to be five o'clock, but actually Lao Wang ran away at four o'clock, and then at about half past four, they had almost run away too.
They are discussing where to go in the evening.
Yi Yunshuo turned around and saw Fu Huaiyi with a sad face, so he came over and put his arm around his shoulders and said, "What are you worried about?"
Fu Huaiyi: “…”
"Get lost, I'm thinking."
"What are you thinking about? Why don't you treat me to a meal? I'll drink with you and help you think."
"Do I need you to drink with me?"
"If you don't want me to drink with you, then I can drink Orange Juice with you?"
Fu Huaiyi: “…”
“No money.”
"No, you just got paid."
"I have to hand it in. I only get ten dollars a month as pocket money. What can I eat?"
With ten yuan, an ordinary person could have a good meal, but Fu Huaiyi felt that he could not afford to eat out given his spending standards.
"How about we just make do with each other and I'll make up for the shortfall?"
Fu Huaiyi's face darkened and he thought, I only make ten yuan a month, and you still have to give me a meal, what should I do for this month?
"Eat, eat, eat. All you do is eat. I've been treating you to meals for years, and you've treated me to meals a few times."
"I have no money. I'm poor."
"You are poor as hell, you are just stingy."
“I really don’t have any money.”
"Then I'll take it out and it'll be mine."
As he said that, Fu Huaiyi reached into his bag.
Yi Yunshuo was horrified and covered his bag, "No, I have to send this money back home."
"You're already such a grown-up, but you still send all your earnings back home? Humph, I think anyone who marries you will be unlucky."
"You can't say that. My mother said she would save the money for me to marry. After I marry, she will return the money to me."
Fu Huaiyi: "Will you treat me to a meal?"
Fu Huaiyi looked a little scary today. Yi Yunshuo gritted his teeth and said, "Please. Brother Yi has invited me to dinner so many times, so it's only right that I treat Brother Yi this time. We'll go after get off work. Where do you want to eat?"
"Where to eat? Chenshan Town."
Seeing that there was still some time, he quickly called Lin Yuyao again.
He said that he would not go home for dinner that night, and he was going to kill Yi Yunshuo.
He finally waited for the stingy person to plunder his money, so he couldn't be lenient.
Lin Yuyao thought he was really childish.
Just one mouth, see how much he can eat.
Not only did he not come back for dinner, but she also saved herself the trouble of cooking.
Generally speaking, if Fu Huaiyi got off work early, she would also get off work early and go home to cook.
Usually when he worked overtime, she would eat in the cafeteria and go back home after eating.
Their stove is very clean because they rarely use it.
After four o'clock in the afternoon, people took turns to keep an eye on Lao Wang.
Only after they saw him pack up and leave, and then they could run away with peace of mind.
"He walked away. I watched him go out the door."
"That's great, guys, what are you waiting for? Let's go out and have fun."
"Keep a low profile, keep a low profile, after all, it's not time yet."
Everyone quieted down, saved files, turned off their computers, packed up their things, and went back to the dormitory to change clothes, all in one go.
It was almost half past four when everyone finished running.
Fu Huaiyi and Yi Yunshuo went straight to the largest hotel in Chenshan Town.
"Oh, I haven't been here for a few months. I missed it so much. Waiter, what new dishes do you have recently?"
"Yes, our chef has learned two new dishes. Would you like to try them?"
"That's nonsense, come up."
The two quickly ordered a few dishes.
"Brother Yi, do you want to drink wine or orange juice?"
Fu Huaiyi said unhappily, "Drink tea. You have to go to work tomorrow. What are you thinking about?"
"Then it won't delay your work tomorrow, drink less."
Fu Huaiyi: "We have something to do later, so we both don't drink."
"What?"
"Would you like to go and cause trouble for someone?"
"Who are you bothering?"
Fu Huaiyi told him about Yang Guangzong.
Yi Yunshuo was startled, "This grandson is out?"
"He came out. He came out yesterday. He squatted outside my house all night last night."
"Ah? Squat outside your house all night?"
"Well, Ye Xiaotong rented my sister's house, so isn't that equivalent to squatting outside my house for a night?"
"Hiss, this grandson...Okay, then let's not drink alcohol today, let's drink tea instead. Drinking tea will make you energetic, and you can beat him up in a while."
