Jiang Mengning wasn't really angry, she just felt a little embarrassed in front of this man.
I glanced at the food in the bowl and didn’t want to eat it for the time being.
She sat up straight and became serious.
"Do you already know what happened to Haowen in school? Including my going to school?"
Huo Jinyan said "hmm".
"Since you already know everything, I'll tell you everything. I did owe that pork seller a hundred yuan. Haowen was there at the time, so he found out. Later, I paid him back with the money I earned from selling lipstick, but Haowen didn't know! I don't know what he was thinking, but he went to the brick kiln factory in the back mountain to make money just to pay off my debt."
"It was precisely because of this premise that he kept the money he earned on him, and the teacher mistook him for a thief."
Huo Jinyan didn't expect there were so many twists and turns.
I never expected my son to have such awareness.
I'm still a little bit sad. What's going on?
His son and daughter-in-law have secrets but he doesn’t, so he is an outsider!
Jiang Mengning continued, "Do you know what the teacher said about Haowen at the time? She said Haowen wasn't dressed well and couldn't compare to the factory director's child. She meant that Haowen deserved to be framed."
"My point in saying this is that we are not careful enough in raising children and we don't pay attention to their needs."
"For example, when the weather is so hot, children may feel thirsty and hungry on their way to and from school and want to eat something, but they don't have money, so they can't eat. Or, if they see a classmate buy something nice and they want it, but they don't have money, it will hurt their self-esteem."
"Huo Jinyan, I think we should give the child an allowance every week. That money belongs to him and he can spend it however he wants. Adults shouldn't interfere. This way, the child won't develop an inferiority complex and his childhood won't be overshadowed."
She was really discussing the issue of children's education with Huo Jinyan very seriously.
Huo Jinyan didn't know how to take care of children, and had never paid attention to such delicate issues.
I didn’t think it was a big deal before, after all, he had been through the same thing.
But after hearing what Jiang Mengning said, I felt it was necessary to give the child pocket money.
"Well, you're right. Then, according to your idea, I'll give Haowen pocket money every week. You decide how much."
If we use Jiang Mengning's consumption concept to explain this question, it would definitely be outrageous.
But children are still children after all. Giving them too much pocket money will give them the illusion that money is easy to get, which is not good.
"Well...how about two dollars a week?"
Prices are ridiculously cheap now. A popsicle costs five cents or ten cents, and you can buy a lot of them for two dollars.
"Well, okay, two dollars then."
The two of them felt very happy when they reached the same idea.
It turns out that putting effort into raising children can be very fulfilling!
Jiang Mengning was no longer depressed and started to laugh happily.
Huo Jinyan looked at her smiling face and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.
"Meng Ning, thank you for everything you've done for the children these days. What are your plans for the future?"
Um?
Intend?
"I don't know yet, let's take it one step at a time!"
It's quite troublesome to act in this day and age, she has to make enough money first.
Huo Jinyan was a little disappointed: "Do you want to work in a factory? There are several large factories in the city. I can help you arrange a job."
He was making plans for Jiang Mengning's future.
Jiang Mengning wants a divorce. After leaving the military region, if she doesn’t have a job, she will have no security!
Jiang Mengning also understood that in two days it would be the one-month deadline they had agreed upon.
She will leave then.
Why am I suddenly not so happy anymore?
"I don't want it. What do you think a person like me who can't even lift anything can do in a factory? Forget it. I don't like restrictions in my life. I want freedom."
Huo Jinyan nodded: "I understand."
The military compound must also be restricting her life!
He pulled a key from his pocket.
"I bought a house in the city. It's not very big, but it's big enough for you. If you feel too lonely living alone, you can go and bring your parents over to live with you."
He put the key in Jiang Mengning's hand.
"Ah, I've asked around, and buying a house costs at least a thousand dollars. Don't you have that much money?"
"It shouldn't be a problem for me. You don't have to worry about the money. The house payment has been paid in full. You can just live here peacefully. If you want to work in the future, you can come to me."
He really had her future life completely arranged.
"Or if you don't want to leave..."
"Ha, then I'd be embarrassed to take your house! We're already divorced, and I'd still want to take so much money from you. That's too immoral."
She interrupted him deliberately, feeling a little guilty.
It’s not that she is wavering, it’s just that she really hasn’t figured out what her future will be like.
What if I suddenly put it back on?
Cut the Gordian knot quickly, it’s better to suffer a short pain than a long one!
She is actually a cruel woman.
Huo Jinyan pursed his lips and forced a smile.
"It's okay. We've been married for a while, so it's only right that I give you some compensation after the divorce. I just can't give you much right now, so please don't despise me."
Jiang Mengning clenched the key in her hand, suddenly stood up and opened the wardrobe.
"Well, since you've said that, I won't be polite with you. I really need a place to live right now."
She smiled coquettishly: "Huo Jinyan, how big is the house you bought for me? I have so many clothes, jewelry, and other miscellaneous things. Can it fit them all?"
