"Let me treat you, you're working part-time to earn money and pay tuition. I have plenty of money now, so don't be polite with me," Ye Wan knew that Jiang Yan was having a difficult time and was probably exhausted every day. She couldn't bear to let her spend money on meals.
When she was in trouble, Jiang Yan had never let her pay.
"Ye Wan, I'm so lucky. Having a loyal friend like you is truly a blessing in three lifetimes!" Jiang Yan held Ye Wan's hand, her face filled with emotion.
"Stop it, hurry up and order what you want to eat. Or should I lend you some more money?" Ye Wan felt that Jiang Yan probably needed money now.
"No need. I've only spent a little of the money you gave me. I'm earning money from my part-time job now. It's just that my mother is too much. She actually used the household money I gave her to buy clothes for Jiang Huan. But I'm not a pushover. I don't plan on giving her any more for now. Doesn't she love Jiang Huan? Then let her beloved eldest daughter earn the household expenses for her."
Jiang Yan was really indignant. When her family was rich before, she never cared about money. But now the family was poor! Every penny was earned with her sweat. Because she still had to attend school, she was almost exhausted to death. Not only did her family not understand, but they even used money for food to buy clothes that were useless now. She would never tolerate it anyway.
"What you're doing is right. Or you could give your mother a little money each day, just enough for meals," Ye Wan suggested.
"That method works! How did I not think of it before? I'll do just that." Jiang Yan's spirits immediately lifted. If she really didn't care about her family and let her parents go hungry, she wouldn't be able to bear it. Of course, she definitely wouldn't care about Jiang Huan.
"Alright, can we have a good meal now?"
The two began to order dishes. After ordering, they chatted while waiting for the food. Once the dishes arrived, they ate and talked.
Jiang Yan told Ye Wan everything that had happened to her recently. Ye Wan also briefly described her own situation. She said, "I still think you need to be careful of your sister and Chu Yu. I always feel like they're up to something when they're together."
"I think so too, but there's nothing I can do. I'll be careful, don't worry," Jiang Yan replied.
"I wonder where Jiang Mi is now. I want to visit Mian Mian another day. Do you want to come with me?" Ye Wan suddenly thought of Jiang Mi, who was missing and her whereabouts unknown, and felt a pang of sadness.
"Yes, she's my goddaughter. If Jiang Mi isn't here, I need to protect Mian Mian. It's just that I don't have much ability right now." Jiang Yan also felt sad thinking about Jiang Mi.
"It's okay. With us taking care of Mian Mian, Jiang Mi will definitely feel more at ease."
"Mmm-hmm, then be sure to ask me to come when you go."
After the meal, the two parted ways. Ye Wan had to go back to work, and Jiang Yan returned to school.
Following Ye Wan's suggestion, Jiang Yan sent fifty yuan to her mother for living expenses. From now on, she decided to give fifty yuan a day, and other expenses would be discussed later.
After all, she had no money now, so everyone had to spend sparingly.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Mu's phone call immediately came through. "Jiang Yan, what are you doing? Why are you sending me fifty yuan?"
"Money for groceries. I don't have much money now, so that's all," she replied.
"No need. Your sister gave me a hundred thousand yuan all at once. It was from her boyfriend. From now on, you won't have to worry about household expenses," Jiang Mu said.
"Mom! You can't use this money! Hurry up and return it!" Jiang Yan immediately exclaimed. Chu Yu giving their family household expenses, what was that supposed to mean?
