"Forty or fifty yuan?" Ye Mingcheng guessed.
"The total cost of the meal is only 19.5 yuan. Meat dishes are 2 yuan a serving, vegetable dishes are 1.5 yuan a serving, and rice is 1.5 yuan a serving. Wuchen doesn't eat meat, so she can only eat 5 or 6 yuan worth of food at most. Even if it's 15 yuan a day, it's 450 yuan a month. Besides, she eats at home on weekends, so her monthly food expenses are less than 400 yuan."
Ye Qingqing did the math, and Ye Mingcheng was skeptical, "School meals are this cheap?"
Several patients receiving IV drips overheard the father and daughter's conversation and became interested. A woman in her early forties said, "The school cafeteria is the most economical and affordable option, and the food is actually quite good. My son studies at Jiaotong University, and I've eaten at their cafeteria a few times. It's cheap and delicious, much more cost-effective than cooking at home."
"The school is definitely cheap, as it's subsidized by the national treasury. After all, many students come from poor families, and they need to be fed well," an old man said.
"That's only right. College students are the pillars of the future. We should nurture them now so they can contribute to the country's development in the future," Dr. Hu said with a smile.
Ye Qingqing asked the middle-aged woman, "Sister, how much is your son's monthly allowance?"
“A thousand yuan. I thought boys should have more money, so I gave him a thousand yuan. His other roommates only had a few hundred yuan each, they were quite frugal,” the woman said.
Ye Qingqing sneered at Ye Mingcheng, "Did you hear that? Other boys only need to spend a thousand yuan, but your daughter doesn't even have enough for a thousand and fifty. Only you would believe that brat's nonsense."
“1,500 is too much. Many people only earn that much. Dr. Ye, you can’t spoil the child too much. Girls don’t need that much money. If she still doesn’t have enough, there’s a problem. Is she dating someone? My son has a girlfriend and he’s spending a lot more money. I’m going to give him another 200.”
"Wuchen probably isn't in a relationship. That girl is still like a child; she wouldn't know anything about dating." Dr. Hu thought it was impossible.
"How could she spend so much money if she wasn't in a relationship? 1,500 yuan isn't enough. Did she buy clothes and cosmetics?" The middle-aged woman had a new guess.
Dr. Hu laughed, "That's even more impossible. That little girl wears sportswear from morning till night, and sometimes she's too lazy to even apply face cream."
Everyone was confused. It wasn't about dating or dressing up, so where did all that money go?
Ye Qingqing took out the bill and waved it in front of Ye Mingcheng. "See this? Your precious daughter is a money-grubber at school. She has lent out more than 12,000 yuan in just one year. Everyone treats her like a sucker."
Everyone gasped. Over twelve thousand! That's no small sum. No wonder they spend money so lavishly!
Everyone crowded around to look at the bill, and they were all speechless.
"These people who borrow money are so shameless. They borrow so much money and don't pay it back. Wuchen is too easy to talk to. He only borrowed a few times and didn't pay it back. Why does he need to care about saving face?" Dr. Hu shook his head repeatedly.
In his heart, he thought that Wuchen was probably stupid. Luckily, his daughter was frugal with money. Otherwise, if he had such a spendthrift daughter, he would be so angry that he would have a heart attack.
“Dr. Ye, you also bear responsibility. How could you give the child so much money, only to have it spent by someone else? More than ten thousand yuan! It’s fortunate that your family is wealthy; other families wouldn’t be able to afford that.” The middle-aged woman also shook her head. Originally, she thought her son was extravagant, but now she didn’t think so anymore.
Compared to the spendthrift daughter of the Ye family, her son is far more appealing.
