Wen Ying squeezed 3,000 yuan of private money from Lao Wen and did not give it to Chen Ru immediately.
It would be better to pay the money on the way to Shanghai. Otherwise, after Lao Wen paid three thousand yuan, what he might get in return is not Chen Ru's touching feelings, but a soul-searching question about why he hid the private money.
Alas, she is still soft-hearted and is too nice to Lao Wen.
Maybe it’s because Lao Wen has been performing very well recently?
Wen Ying is going to Shanghai for a competition and has no shortage of money.
First of all, the organizer of the competition can reimburse the contestants' travel expenses, which should not exceed 500 yuan. If Wen Ying goes to Shanghai alone, taking the train is almost enough, but she plans to fly with Chen Ru, and the standard of 500 yuan is obviously a long way off.
"Okay, don't worry about the travel expenses."
Chen Ru wanted to renovate her house and buy a car. Although her income had increased, she became more frugal than before. She did not spend blindly like Wen Hongyan, who had suddenly become rich from being poor, and did not spend too much money on clothes and jewelry.
But Wen Ying went to Shanghai to compete, and if she won a prize, she could be admitted with a lower score, which Chen Ru considered an educational investment.
Every penny invested in education should be spent wisely.
Sometimes you can’t see the rewards right away, or even for a long time, but without this little bit of accumulation, how can you complete the process of quantitative change to qualitative change?
Therefore, Wen Ying's travel expenses, food and accommodation to Shanghai were what Chen Ru considered necessary, just like Chen Ru and Wen Dongrong enrolling in cram schools to improve their English.
Going by train?
It saves money, but it wastes too much time.
Being too tired and not getting enough rest on the road affected Wen Ying's performance in the competition, and Chen Ru felt that it was not worth it.
Without Wen Ying saying anything, Chen Ru had already booked two tickets to Shanghai.
When Deng Shangwei heard that Wen Ying was so ambitious and was going to Shanghai to participate in a competition, he quickly gave Wen Ying a red envelope and told her not to be so frugal.
"Uncle, I have money..."
"Your money is yours, save it. What I give you is for you, just spend it!"
Deng Shangwei was very happy. He felt that Wen Ying had finally gotten the hang of things and seemed to know everything.
Deng Shangwei stuffed five thousand yuan into Wen Ying's pocket.
Chen Ru would definitely not allow Wen Ying to accept it before, but after what happened with Pan Li, Chen Ru finally came to her senses and told Wen Ying to take the money: "If you feel embarrassed to spend it, just go to Shanghai and bring back some gifts for your aunt and two cousins."
Anyway, the money will eventually be spent on Chen Li, her mother and her two children. Deng Shangwei's wallet cannot be too well-off, otherwise the vixens outside will continue to flock to him.
Oh, then take it.
Before leaving for Shanghai, Wen Ying already had eight thousand yuan in her hand.
What she never expected was that before leaving, Xie Qian handed her an exercise book and asked her to do it when she had time when she arrived in Shanghai. Wen Ying was bored and flipped through the exercise book while waiting for her flight at the airport, and a small square card fell out of the exercise book.
Wen Ying blinked.
How come there is a bank card in the exercise book?
Before Chen Ru noticed, Wen Ying quickly picked up the bank card and put it in her pocket.
The fact that a bank card fell out of the exercise book given by Xie Qian doesn't mean anything. It might be that Xie Qian's card accidentally fell into the exercise book and no one noticed it. Wen Ying inexplicably felt a little guilty.
"What did you drop?"
Chen Ru saw Wen Ying bending down, but didn't see what she was picking up.
In line with the spirit of "a friend's death would rather die than I die", Wen Ying betrayed Comrade Lao Wen before even getting on the plane.
She took out the three thousand yuan that Wen Dongrong had given her from her schoolbag:
"Mom, this is what my dad gave me. He said we should eat and live better in the Magic City."
Chen Ru stared.
After agreeing to save money for renovation and buying a car, Wen Dongrong handed over all his income. Recently, he also said he wanted to quit smoking. Chen Ru also felt that Wen Dongrong no longer smelled of cigarettes.
It turned out that the money had not been fully handed over and there was still some private money.
Chen Ru didn't know whether to be happy or angry. She put the three thousand yuan away and forgot about Wen Ying picking up things.
"Does he need to tell me that? I won't treat you unfairly even if he doesn't pay me!"
Of course, with an extra 3,000 yuan, the budget for traveling to Shanghai is indeed more abundant.
As she was about to board the plane, Chen Ru decided to go to Shanghai and come back to settle the score with Wen Dongrong.
Wen Ying touched the card in her pocket and secretly sent a text message to Xie Qian.
"Why is your bank card in the book? I'll give it to you when I return to Chengdu!"
Xie Qian should be in class now. He hasn't replied to her message yet, and Wen Ying is a little uneasy.
Chen Ru was puzzled. "It's not your first time on a plane, why are you so nervous?"
Wen Ying fastened her seatbelt and whispered, "Mom, this is the first time you and I have taken a plane out of the province together. After the competition, can we stay in Shanghai for one more day and treat it as a trip?"
After these words were spoken, not only was Chen Ru stunned, but Wen Ying herself was also very sad.
Whether on business trips or traveling with He Zhen, both at home and abroad, the places Wen Ying had visited in her previous life were quite a few.
But traveling out of province with your parents?
Sorry, that's really not the case.
This is not the family atmosphere that the Wen family of three would have.
When Wen Ying was not financially independent, she could not make this request. After she became financially independent, her relationship with her parents became worse and worse. Chen Ru and Wen Dongrong were thinking about how to call her back to her hometown, let her take the civil service exam, and let her go on blind dates and get married. The couple was dismissive of Wen Ying's six years of hard work in the Magic City.
If other people's children can gain a foothold in super first-tier cities such as Shanghai and Beijing, their parents, as long as they can move their hands and feet, will go to see their children's work and living environment. But for Chen Ru and Wen Dongrong, this is impossible.
Going to Shanghai to see Wen Ying, wouldn't that be a signal that I agree to let Wen Ying stay in Shanghai?
That’s absolutely not possible!
