Chapter 40- Crying Poor
"Pack up?" Wen Xiangsheng was so surprised that her voice changed a little. The word "pack up" for leftovers never existed in her dictionary. Packing up leftovers, could it be that she was short of food?
"Yes, it's such a waste if you don't pack up the leftovers. I'm no different now than I was before. Of course I try to save as much as possible. Besides, diligence and thrift are the traditional virtues of our country. Why are you so surprised, Sister Wen? Do you have any opinion on this traditional virtue?" Shi Feiye raised her voice a little:
"Prosperity, democracy, civility, harmony, freedom, equality, justice, rule of law, patriotism, dedication, integrity, and friendliness. I will thoroughly implement the principle of civility and do my best to promote civility and set new trends. Is there any problem?"
Wen Xiangsheng opened her mouth, but found she couldn't refute it. Her eloquent and always adept mouth opened and closed, mumbling, "You're right. You did a good job. There's nothing wrong with that."
"Yeah, I think so too. I was too extravagant before. I bought so many luxury goods that I could never use. It was not only a waste of money but also a waste of time and energy. It would be great if I could use this time to do something meaningful." Shi Feiye seemed to sigh:
"You said there are so many people in this world who need help, how come I couldn't see it before? It would be good to use the money to support children in poor areas, rather than buying a bunch of luxury goods and throwing them away at home. By the way, Sister Wen, you are so kind and wonderful, you must have helped those in need a lot, right?"
It's true that Wen Xiangsheng is good at deceiving people and creating a persona for herself, but as for helping the poor, haha, that's just dreaming. She's not that kind-hearted. She doesn't even think her own money is enough, so how could she be so kind as to spend money on others?
However, she still smiled sincerely: "Yes, when I have nothing to do, I will help those in need from time to time. After all, my parents taught me since I was a child that I must share with others and help those in need."
Wen Xiangsheng thought Shi Feiye wanted to talk to her about this matter, but Shi Feiye changed the subject:
"Since Sister Wen is so generous to strangers, and we've known each other for so long and have such a good relationship, now that I'm in trouble and have become a poor person, won't Sister Wen help me?"
"Ah?" Wen Xiangsheng never expected that Shi Feiye, who always cared about her reputation, would say something like this.
Shi Feiye put on an expression that showed she was having a very difficult and pitiful time. "Sister Wen, you don't know how hard my life is right now. I have to add a lid to every glass of yogurt I drink, and I dare not buy clothes or bags. Every day I look at my husband's cold face, and I dare not even mention money. I call other people but no one is willing to answer."
Seeing Wen Xiangsheng's expression change, Shi Feiye simply stood up and moved to Wen Xiangsheng's side, grabbing her hand tightly, not giving her a chance to break free:
"Sister Wen, you're so kind that you're willing to come to me. You're the only one I can ask for help. You're usually wealthy and generous, and you can easily give me two or three hundred thousand. You can't be so stingy with an old friend like me, right? You'll help me, right? After all, we're good sisters."
She deliberately emphasized the three words "good sisters" and seeing that the other party didn't respond, Shi Feiye added: "Come to think of it, I haven't talked to the male friends I knew before."
