Chen Ru has worked in a bank for many years. Due to her job, she knows the family's expense accounts very well.
After all, she is a tough person who can use an account book to record all the expenses of her daughter from birth to adulthood, and can also write down how much money her husband subsidized his in-laws for a certain year and month!
Chen Ru had a rough idea of how much money Wen Ying had made from publishing novels.
The reason for not checking Wen Ying's accounts was that Chen Ru had told Wen Ying in advance to keep the royalties herself. Moreover, when Wen Ying first signed the contract with the publishing house, the bank account she left for Zou Weijun was not the bank where Chen Ru worked, so it was inconvenient for her to check secretly.
But Chen Ru never said she would not care about Wen Dongrong's accounts, so she had to investigate them.
Wen Dongrong didn't need to keep a detailed account of how much money he collected and where it was spent, but now that the matter was exposed, he had to explain it clearly.
Have you been drinking?
Smoking?
Or I spent it outside pretending to be generous.
How shameless is this bastard to have the nerve to spend his underage daughter's money? If she hadn't found out, he would have kept it a secret from her.
If it was secretly given to Shulu and her daughter, or used on the Wen family, Chen Ru would definitely be furious.
Needless to say, the three members of the Shu family are the people Chen Ru hates the most. If Wen Dongrong still wants to care about them, he would be so stupid that Chen Ru cannot forgive him.
Chen Ru was also angry about the latter's words.
Apart from the three members of the Shu family, when did Chen Ru ever stop Wen Dongrong from helping other members of the Wen family?
If the Wen family really needs help, as long as they haven't done anything bad like pornography, gambling, or drugs, and need money, Wen Dongrong and Chen Ru will discuss it seriously, and Chen Ru will not refuse.
Husband and wife are one, and being open and transparent about their finances is a sign of respect for your partner!
Chen Ru only understood this truth after so many years of marriage, and now it has become one of the principles she cares about most.
When Chen Ru was questioning Wen Dongrong, her mind was racing, wondering if the Wen family needed money recently.
Wen Ying's aunt Zhu Meiqun bought a store at the intersection after the Spring Festival. After a simple renovation, she started a fruit business. At first, she didn't dare to sell expensive fruits, but only sold common varieties at relatively cheap prices.
A down-to-earth person like Zhu Meiqun may not have the vision to do big business, but he does not lack the wisdom to do small business. He carefully selects the goods when he gets them, tastes the delicious fruits himself before purchasing them, and then carefully screens the goods again after receiving them. He can divide the same grade of goods into different qualities.
Those with good appearance are more expensive, so that passers-by can buy them to visit patients in the provincial hospital; those with less perfect appearance are cheaper, and the target customer group is nearby residents. After all, they are eaten at home, so the most important thing is that they taste good, and it is not necessary for every fruit to have a perfect shape.
Most fruit shop owners have a "clever trick" to deal with fruits that are bumped during transportation and storage. They will put labels on them so that it will not affect sales. The honest man Zhu Meiqun would blush if he did such a thing. No matter how big and beautiful the fruit is, once it is bumped and damaged, it will be sold at a cheaper price.
They are too embarrassed to even put labels on damaged fruits, so naturally they would not shortchange the sellers.
Relying on this honesty, Zhu Meiqun quickly gained the recognition of nearby residents - to be more precise, the group of uncles and aunts living nearby.
Those retired uncles and aunts at home are all very shrewd. They can queue for a whole day to get free eggs. If they don’t take advantage, they will suffer a loss, and if they don’t get cheated, they will take advantage. Zhu Meiqun’s store occupied the elderly market in the nearby community more than a month after it opened. When the uncles and aunts want to buy fruit, the first thing they think of is "Xiao Zhu's store."
Zhu Meiqun couldn't understand the fancy promotional methods because she didn't have that kind of brain.
But the fruits are of good quality and the weight is not short, and the store is located at the intersection, so business is naturally not a problem.
As the fruit sold well, Zhu Meiqun added dried goods to the store.
Peanuts, melon seeds, pistachios, and raisins are all daily necessities for ordinary people to eat at home, and they will weigh them when buying fruits.
Business was so good that Zhu Meiqun couldn't handle it alone and had to hire someone to help look after the store.
The wage standard in Chengdu is higher than that in his hometown. The salary Zhu Meiqun offers is almost the same as what Uncle Wen Ying earns in his hometown. Uncle Wen Ying is already considering whether to resign, but he doesn't know whether the business in the store will always be so good.
Uncle Wen felt that his wife worked too hard, while Zhu Meiqun was afraid that something might happen to the business after her husband quit his job, and the whole family would lose their stable source of income!
It is not possible for a couple to live apart for a long time. Chen Ru feels that Uncle Wen Ying will come to Chengdu sooner or later to reunite with Zhu Meiqun.
The honest man Zhu Meiqun ran the fruit shop and ran his small business smoothly. He was open regardless of wind or rain and earned a steady profit.
Wen Ying's third uncle, Wen Changlin, is a man of sharp tongues and thrives in the insurance industry. He was a newcomer to the industry last year, but this year he has already won the group's order-issuing championship!
In terms of monthly income, it is higher than Wen Dongrong who only has a fixed salary, so logically speaking, he doesn't need any subsidies.
Chen Ru went over the idea in her mind but couldn't figure out the reason. She stared at Wen Dongrong, wanting to see what tricks this damn man could come up with.
Wen Dongrong is now middle-aged, with few wrinkles on his face and no weight gain. His youthful handsomeness has turned into mature masculine charm.
At this time, he frowned and hesitated to speak, looking embarrassed, as if he wanted to play the sympathy card to make Chen Ru soften her heart.
——Oh, wishful thinking!
No matter how handsome a face is, after looking at it for so many years, you should have developed antibodies to it.
Chen Ru remained unmoved.
Wen Dongrong sighed deeply, "Okay, I've already said it all. Wen Ying started giving me money last year. It was a few hundred yuan at first, and it increased to 1,000 yuan a month starting in August last year. I was very excited when I first got the money and treated her uncle to dinner. But I didn't spend much of the money afterwards. I was always dragged into spending it by Shang Wei!"
Invite Deng Shangwei to dinner?
Chen Ru frowned, "When did you become so close to her uncle?"
"We've always had a very good relationship. He used to do business in Chengdu while I worked in my hometown, so we didn't have the opportunity to interact on a daily basis!"
Wen Dongrong lied with his eyes open and would never admit that he had ever looked down on Deng Shangwei.
Chen Ru snorted coldly, "You can treat Deng Shangwei to a meal or two, but he can also make you pay for every meal? I believe you when you say he spends money on you, but you think he drags you to spend money. How can you imagine that?"
From last year to now, it was 500 yuan per month at the beginning, and then 1,000 yuan per month, which adds up to tens of thousands of yuan. Now there is only more than 1,000 yuan left in my hand. The rest was spent on eating with Deng Shangwei?
In response to this question, Wen Dongrong was silent for a while, then rummaged through the closet awkwardly and took out a few letters from a small drawer.
"Really? The money Wen Ying gave me was all spent by Shang Wei. You'll understand after reading this."
Chen Ru looked down and saw "To Uncle Wen Dongrong" written in crooked handwriting on the envelope.
What's going on?
After opening the envelope and seeing the contents, Chen Ru was stunned.
"This is……"
"You read that right. This is a thank-you letter from a poor student I sponsored in the countryside."
Wen Dongrong sighed with emotion, "200 yuan per month for a student is dispensable to our family, but it is very important to them. It supports them to continue their studies."
