Chapter 1902 Economic Crisis 4
"It seems that we won't be able to buy cultural relics and antiques as we please in the future. We don't have any spare money. The extra hundred yuan left every month must be saved for emergencies." Feng Qingxue felt heartbroken and held the notebook full of bills to her chest. "We still owe Uncle Xia 10,000 yuan. I wrote in the IOU that I would pay it back within three years. Now we can only sell gold to pay off the debt."
I used to think my life was comfortable, but now I find that if I don’t increase income and cut down on expenditure, I will be struggling to make ends meet.
This, this, this... there's a world of difference!
Lu Jiang felt a toothache and covered his cheek. He couldn't buy his wife the things she liked and couldn't let her live a life where she could buy whatever she wanted. It was a serious problem for him.
"Show me, why are our expenses so high?" Lu Jiang read the bill Feng Qingxue had written down from beginning to end, pondered for a moment, crossed out the children's clothing expenses, changed it to 10 yuan per month for living expenses, and another 30 yuan per person per year for clothing expenses, and then changed the expenses such as dining out, "Let's eat out less and focus on social interactions, we can save 20 yuan per month."
Feng Qingxue stretched out her finger and pointed at him, "You wish. Our children spend more than twenty dollars on a meal. Haven't you seen Erxiong? His appetite is so big that he can be a strong laborer. This item cannot be changed. The clothing expenses for boys can be reduced appropriately. Their old clothes can be mended and lengthened and widened, and we can also reduce the size of our military uniforms. Fubao is getting more and more conceited as she grows older. She wishes she had new clothes every year. If you reduce the amount too much, she will be angry with you."
After a pause, she looked thankful, "I have to thank Yunyun for sending Fubao several sets of clothes and several pairs of new shoes this year. Next year, I can spend a few dozen dollars to make her two skirts and a shirt, and I think I can get away with it."
"It can save hundreds of miles!" Feng Qingxue said excitedly.

Feng Qingxue was so delighted after hearing this that her heart felt as sweet as honey.
In this way, most of the child’s clothing expenses for next year can be saved.
Feng Qingxue suddenly remembered the 100,000 yuan compensation the country gave to Lu's father in the previous life, "Dad was a millionaire at that time. But that's Dad's money, we can't covet it, there are also Tianjun and Tianzhi!"
Lu Jiang hummed twice, opened his eyes wide and tried to find ways to save money, and finally crossed out the gas fee. "I've decided that except for business trips, I won't use the car if I can, or I'll take a ride and save the money to buy things for you."
Unable to find any place to save money, Lu Jiang closed the notebook and cleared his throat. "We don't need to worry about Dad and Xi Bao for now. Maybe because Third Uncle and Third Aunt are around, they haven't asked us for money in the past two years. When Dad can live with us, I think he will be rehabilitated, and the state will definitely compensate him."
Speaking of her two nephews, she suddenly remembered the extra income every month. "I almost forgot. I have to make a note. Tianjun and Acheng need me to send them 20 yuan every month, which is 40 yuan a month. No matter how many times I tell them, they won't change their minds. Tianzhi and Ayu also wanted to give some money, but I persuaded them to stop. The extra salary they get back home is just enough for them to live on."
"And Ye Xiangqian gives Ye Yan living expenses." One hundred yuan a month is a considerable amount.
Feng Qingxue shook her head and said, "Don't worry about this money. His grandparents live next door to us. Ye Yan will definitely stay there for a while. Maybe our children will even go there for free meals. How can we accept money from Ye Xiangqian?"
She knows what's going on.
I was going to save it for tomorrow’s update, but ended up clicking on publish instead.
