Fast Travel: Endangered Pup Rescue Project

Chapter 686: The Mother Exploiting Her Daughter

"Why haven't you been here these two days, sister?" In order to show that he is obedient, Wei Deng would come to help on the weekends recently. Of course, he would only help for half a day. After all, if he only came on Saturday at noon, Song Xia would close in the evening, and the store would be closed on Sunday.

But now I have a sense of crisis in my heart, which is considered progress.

"Your sister is traveling."

"Travel?" Wei Deng felt a little sour. "Sister, you still have money to travel. Didn't you say that buying this house and decorating it all took out a loan?"

"Your sister went on a trip because someone invited her, and someone invited you, and no one stopped you from going."

"Who invited her? Isn't Yue Ting at work?"

"Your sister has no other friends besides Yue Ting?"

"But Pei Xin just met him tonight!"

"Her former college classmate, don't ask me, which man is as inquisitive as you are about women's affairs."

"I'm just worried that I'll waste your money. After all, it's not easy for you to earn money."

Song Xia glanced at him and said, "You know it's not easy for me to make money. In this case, I will ask for less living expenses every month."

Wei Deng was speechless for a moment. If he hadn't worked during the summer vacation, he would have felt that his current living expenses were not enough, and how could they be any less?

"You have so much free time, but you just swept the yard. You haven't even taken out the trash at home. How come you don't have any eyes for work? What will you do when you get married? You can't leave it to me, your mother, to do it, right? Let me make it clear to you first. When you get married and have children, I will not be your nanny."

Wei Deng smiled and said, "Mom, you are so busy running the store, so there is no way I can let you work hard."

"I plan to close this shop after I pay off the loan and save some money for my retirement. I'm old and my body can't handle it."

"Such a good business is closed?"

"Well, no matter how much money you make, it's useless if you don't have the life to enjoy it, so you have to do everything in moderation."

"Then, mom, you don't care about me anymore?" Wei Deng was anxious. If his mother didn't continue, what would happen to his house and car in the future? His mother said that the room given to his sister would always belong to her. If he married Mo Ru and had a child, where would the child live?
"Aren't you supposed to graduate from college? Once you graduate from college, you should be an adult. After studying for so many years, can't you even support yourself?"

"But...but..." Wei Deng hesitated for a long time and still couldn't give any reason.

"Mom knows what you want to say. If you want to open a shop in the future, Mom can teach you the skills and you can run the shop directly, but you have to pay for the rent and labor yourself."

Wei Deng subconsciously retreated: "I don't know how to open a store or do any business."

He has only been here half a day in the past few weeks, and he is already exhausted. If he has no rest every day like his mother, what is the point of living like this?
Song Xia snorted and looked at him. He felt tired of making money himself, so it was natural for others to make money for him.

Wei Deng looked at her awkwardly, then turned away guiltily. It turned out that his mother had guessed everything, but wasn't that the case for everyone? Aren't parents working hard to earn money for their children?
"Mom raised you and your sister, and it's good that I don't need you in my old age. How can you still have the heart to exploit me and let me work for you all my life? You only know how to enjoy yourself, but can't I just relax for a few years?" "Mom, that's not what I mean."

"No matter what you think, when you and your sister get married, Mom will only pay a down payment of 400,000 yuan at most, and nothing else. Of course, this is assuming you are obedient. Once I make all this money, I will retire completely."

Song Xia sighed: "There are still so many loans to pay for the house, and I have to save up for your down payment. I guess I can't rest for the next ten or eight years. I don't know if my body can continue to work for another ten years."

After this calculation, Wei Deng was speechless. It seemed inappropriate to let his mother do it after ten years. After all, his mother gave him 400,000 yuan as a down payment! And after his mother passed away, wouldn't he be able to inherit the house?
But why should I give my sister so much?
However, after experiencing his mother's cold face last time, Wei Deng didn't dare to ask more this time. Now his sister seemed to be even more important in his mother's heart. If he asked and made his mother angry again, he might even lose the 400,000 yuan he got for his marriage.

"Mom, the store is yours, you have the final say, I have no opinion."

"It's useless even if you have any objections. You are still relatively lucky. Many young people don't have any help from their families when they get married. Not only do you not have any help, but you also have to pay for your living expenses. Has your mother ever asked you for anything?"

"Yes, Mom, you're the best. I'll go clean the yard and take out the trash."

Song Xia sat in a rocking chair and watched her son work leisurely. This guy just wanted to be ordered around, and the less he was ordered around, the lazier he became. Compared to the beginning, Wei Deng has changed a lot now.

Take it slow, things will get better later, just like a mule, it needs something hanging in front of it to move forward.

On the other hand, Wei Zhu and Zhuang Bo made rapid progress because they had been interested in each other before, and this unexpected meeting made them feel that it was fate, so neither of them was shy, and by the end of the trip, they had already confirmed their relationship.

When Wei Zhu came back, he told Song Xia about this.

"He's also taking the civil service exam?" Song Xia nodded. "Although the salary within the system isn't very high, if both of us are in it, it will be stable in the future."

Wei Zhu was also very satisfied, she never sought for wealth and fame, as long as they worked together to live a good life, moreover, both husband and wife were in the system, which was much better than ordinary people. Of course, this was just a fantasy, after all, the results of the written test had not come out yet!
It doesn't matter if neither of them passes the exam. They are both very pragmatic people, so it won't be a big deal if they save a little.

"Well, if we are lucky enough to pass the exam, when we get married and buy a house in the future, the housing provident fund can be used to offset the mortgage. We can save for a few years and then pay the down payment."

"Is his family's condition bad?"

Wei Zhu looked a little nervous, as if she was afraid that her mother would disagree: "Zhuang Bo's mother had been ill before, so his family conditions are average, but mom, I promise you, Zhuang Bo himself is a very good person, he will treat me well."

"I'll tell you what he is like after I meet him, but his mother is in poor health. After you get married, won't you have to provide financial support to his family?"

"Probably not. His mother seems to have passed away last year. Now his father lives alone in the countryside and is self-sufficient."

Song Xia was silent for a moment. Although it was not a good idea to think this way, having one less patient at home would indeed reduce a lot of burdens: "If you two can really talk about that, Mom will give you 400,000 as a down payment."

Wei Zhu was shocked: "Mom, how can we take your money?"

"Why not? It's a gift from mom. Your brother will also get one in the future. The amount is the same as yours. Your brother even thinks it's too little. Why are you refusing? It's settled. Since you have already established a relationship with Zhuang Bo, find time to bring him to mom to meet her." Song Xia spoke in a strong tone, not allowing her daughter Wei Zhu to refute.
