Everyone agreed on this point, feeling that Ye Mingcheng bore the greatest responsibility for spoiling his daughter too much.
Ye Mingcheng truly never expected his youngest daughter to become such a simpleton, and he felt regretful for not fulfilling his responsibilities by raising Wuchen into such a fool.
"So what do we do now?" Ye Mingcheng thought for a moment and said, "How about I go to the school and talk to the teachers? These people are really outrageous. Let the teachers criticize them."
Ye Qingqing retorted irritably, "You can only blame your daughter for being stupid, not for others trying to take advantage of you. The most important thing now is to correct Wuchen's bad habits, otherwise she will squander this house in the future."
"Qingqing is right, Wuchen's bad habits must be changed," Dr. Hu agreed.
"How should we change it?" Ye Mingcheng had no idea.
"I have a way, but I need your cooperation, Dad."
Ye Mingcheng nodded vigorously, "Okay, you tell me what to do, I'll do whatever you say."
"It's very simple. From now on, you are not allowed to give Wuchen a single penny. Let her collect the debts. Twelve thousand yuan is enough for her to eat and drink," Ye Qingqing said.
Ye Mingcheng, however, worried, "What if we can't get that money back?"
"Go to hell. If you're so capable of lending it out, let her find a way to get it back herself. Do you think your money fell from the sky? It's all your hard-earned money, and you have to make her get it back."
Ye Qingqing launched into a tirade, and Ye Mingcheng didn't dare utter a sound, shrinking back as his daughter berated him. The others found it amusing; they had only ever thought that the youngest daughter of the Ye family was fierce, but they never expected that the eldest daughter, who had married out, was even fiercer. This father had absolutely no authority in front of his daughter.
After Ye Qingqing finished scolding, Ye Mingcheng quickly poured a glass of warm water. "Drink some water, don't be angry. Dad will definitely not give Wuchen any money in the future."
Just as she was getting thirsty from yelling, Ye Qingqing took the water and drank it all in one go. She then asked Ye Mingcheng to pour her another glass. After downing both glasses of water, she felt a little better, but she was still angered by Ye Mingcheng's words.
"You've always said the same thing before, making promises to my face that are better than anyone else's, but behind my back you indulge her and give her whatever she wants. Our family is better off than the average family now, but can you guarantee that Wuchen will live a life of comfort and ease for the rest of her life?"
I'm not saying Wuchen should go to the fields to work hard and endure hardship, but she should at least be mindful of money. She should know that earning money is hard, and spending it should be more thrifty. But this girl has squandered over ten thousand yuan without a second thought. If I don't go to the school today, this hole will only get bigger and bigger. Even if we had a mountain of gold, it wouldn't be enough for her to squander!"
Ye Qingqing patiently reasoned with him. From beginning to end, what angered her was not the money, but Wuchen's extremely improper attitude towards money.
This girl has never had a concept of money since she was little. In her mind, 10,000 yuan and 100,000 yuan are probably no different from 100 yuan. When she was little, you could say she was ignorant, but now that she's an adult, if she continues like this, she'll be stupid.
Ye Mingcheng's expression turned solemn. Ye Qingqing's words reminded him of the painful events of the past few decades. He was the one who had changed his fate thirty years ago.
Gu Nianci was wealthy. Even though Ye Xunmei took away tens of thousands of yuan from her, she still had enough money left for her and her son to live a life of luxury. Moreover, with the old lady's family taking care of them, Ye Mingcheng's childhood and youth were truly a life of ease where he had everything done for him.
But fate is unpredictable. Who could have imagined that the world would change, that being rich would become shameful, even criminal, and that one would have to undergo labor reform, watching helplessly as their wealthy and prosperous family fell apart overnight, relatives were torn apart, and even families were destroyed and people died.
