The next day, Wen Ying discovered that her parents seemed to have had a quarrel.
She felt that it had nothing to do with her, and it would never be wrong to bring gifts to her parents.
Little did they know that Chen Ru and Wen Dongrong were arguing about the "gift". Wen Dongrong had to go back to work early in the morning. After choosing for a long time, he finally chose a tie and put on his new leather shoes.
Because of Shu Guobing's report, Wen Dongrong has been keeping a low profile at work recently. He just changed into a new tie and new leather shoes. Few people would notice this small change, except Wen Dongrong's competitor Lao Li.
Lao Li's attention to Wen Dongrong is comparable to that of a secret admirer facing his beloved. If Wen Dongrong changes his hairstyle, Lao Li will definitely be the first person to notice.
Even though his wife is not around, he still changed his tie and leather shoes into new ones. Wen Dongrong must be up to something!
"Comrade Dongrong, these leather shoes are high-end. If you have any good news, please share it with everyone."
Old Li was a bad mouth and asked Wen Dongrong loudly at noon when everyone was in the cafeteria. It happened that the big leader of the unit was also in the cafeteria today. After hearing what he said, he couldn't help but look at Wen Dongrong's feet.
Whether a pair of shoes is good or not, besides the brand value, the leather can’t deceive people.
Without touching them, the big boss knows that Wen Dongrong's shoes are not cheap.
But this is not a big deal. Some people like to spend their salary on food, while others like to spend their salary on clothes. As long as the income is not obtained through illegal means, how you want to spend it is your personal business.
Wen Dongrong can afford to buy a pair of expensive shoes. The Discipline Inspection Commission investigated Wen Dongrong some time ago and found that he had not made any financial mistakes.
The big boss not only had no objection to Wen Dongrong wearing a pair of good leather shoes, but also opposed Lao Li's bad opinion.
Old Li is a very narrow-minded person. He keeps watching Wen Dongrong like he is guarding against a thief all day long.
However, the big boss didn't say anything. No matter how annoying Lao Li was, the big boss still had to use him sometimes. In an organization, one person could not do everything.
Is Wen Dongrong afraid of being asked by Lao Li?
He is not afraid at all!
He was afraid that Lao Li wouldn't ask, so he spent the whole morning picking out a tie, which would be like flirting with a blind man.
With three parts of self-satisfaction and seven parts of modesty, Wen Dongrong used the calmest tone to pretend to be the most arrogant:
"Brother Li, you have a good eye. These shoes are indeed not cheap. I really don't want to buy them. During the National Day holiday, a relative took my daughter to Macau for a trip. She used her saved pocket money to buy me a pair of shoes and three ties, all from the mall. When she got home, her mother accused her of wasting money. Macau is so far away, and I can't return it after I bought it. What do you think, Brother Li?"
Brother Li doesn’t think so!
Hearing Wen Dongrong's boasting, Old Li rolled his eyes and laughed:
"Your family gives your children a lot of pocket money!"
Wen Dongrong smiled and said, "I didn't really give her much. This is the money she earned from setting up a stall with her classmates in Chengdu during the summer vacation. As parents, we can only accept this filial piety."
Old Li grinned and said it was great, but in fact his teeth were aching.
People with the surname Wen are just showing off!
Old Li has a son who is a few years older than Wen Ying. He is now in college. He brought a girlfriend home this summer and said he would get married after graduation.
The girl was quite pretty, and Lao Li's son liked her very much. How could Lao Li's family dare to neglect her, so they paid for the young couple to go to Hong Kong for a few days. Lao Li's son bought clothes, shoes and bags for his girlfriend, and brought home a lot of bags. After returning home, he rummaged through a pile of things and found a silk scarf, saying it was a gift for Lao Li's wife. As for Lao Li, let alone a pair of leather shoes and three ties, he didn't even get a thread in!
The more Old Li thought about it, the angrier he became. He was angry at himself for being so nosy. He was basically setting a stage for Wen Dongrong to perform.
I'm so angry!
It's not just women who like to show off their children; men have this problem too.
The praises in the cafeteria were all about how well Wen Dongrong taught his daughter and how filial she was.
The big bosses are a little envious of Wen Dongrong.
Wen Dongrong received a wave of likes at work, and after work he distributed gifts to Wen's relatives and received several more waves of likes.
Wen Kai couldn't put the pen down, "Second Uncle, these must have cost a lot of money. Did Xiaoying earn all of this herself? She's really amazing!"
The gift Wen Ying bought for Grandma Wen was a very affordable one, a gold ring.
The price of gold in Macau is not more expensive than in Chengdu. This gold ring weighs several grams, and the pattern on the ring face is a longevity peach. Grandma Wen actually likes it very much, but she keeps saying it is a waste of money.
“It’s too expensive, too expensive…”
The old lady was a country girl who moved to the city. She had no pension and had never worn a gold ring in her life. She only wore a silver bracelet all year round. Over time, the silver had become foggy and dull.
No one thought of buying the old lady a gold ring.
This kind of jewelry is usually bought by a daughter for her mother. When Wen Hongyan had money, she bought herself a gold bracelet first and never thought about buying anything for her mother.
Wen Dongrong is not short of money, but he just gives money directly to the old lady, who holds it in her hands and is reluctant to spend it.
The two thousand yuan given to Wen Ying was the money the old lady had saved up over time.
Chen Ru and her mother-in-law don't get along very well. She agrees to give money but won't take the initiative to save face for the old lady.
Uncle Wen Ying and his younger uncle's families had only been settled in the city for two years and had to spend money everywhere, but they were not extravagant enough to buy gold jewelry for Grandma Wen.
Grandma Wen lived for so many years, but the first gold jewelry she received was actually given by Wen Ying. You can imagine how the old lady felt at that moment!
He said it was too expensive and couldn't afford it, but he couldn't help but look at it again and again.
Wen Dongrong reflected on himself and realized that he was not considerate enough to his biological mother.
Uncle Wen felt that he was incompetent and did not let his mother enjoy a good life.
Wen Kai put down his pen and personally put the gold ring on Grandma Wen:
"First, wear the gold ring Xiaoying gave you. When I start working and earn money in the future, I will buy you a gold bracelet. Whatever other grandmothers have, we will give you too!"
