The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Shang Xi could have talked to Cheng Youning calmly, but she didn't expect that this child was so ignorant and already knew how to squander money. She was so angry that she almost vomited blood on the spot, "You are so arrogant at such a young age. You have learned to spend money before you learned how to make money. Do you know that this shop is not our family's business? Half of it belongs to your aunt. You come to withdraw money every few days like this. You have messed up the accounts. What will your aunt and uncle think if they see it?"

Cheng Youning said, "What do they have to think about? The money my child spends will not be included in their account. Besides, the account is not messy at all. Isn't it written clearly enough? At the end of the month, we will use the gross profit to deduct the cost, and the two families will split it 50-50. The money my child spends can be paid from the profit of our family. If you can't figure it out, my child will do the math at the end of the month."

Seeing Cheng Youning arguing with Shang Xi, Shang Xi was so angry that she didn't want to talk. "Cheng Feng, tell me."

Cheng Youning also said, "Yes, Dad, you are the head of the family. Please judge for me and my mother whether what I just said is right or not. Is it reasonable?"

Cheng Feng said, "You said that there is nothing wrong with it. It is better to get money from here than to steal on the street. But son, you can't squander the money. This money is accumulated by your mother and I bit by bit. You can't squander it everywhere. It is not safe for you to spend money like this. If you give a handful of copper coins to beggars, people will see that a child like you has so much money and will be targeted."

Cheng Youning said, "Dad, I know I was wrong, but there is one thing you said that is wrong. Sprinkling a handful of copper coins is not considered squandering. In a good way, your son is helping the poor and doing good deeds for the family. In a bad way, your son scattered copper coins, not the gold bars at home. At most, he does not know how to save money, but it is not considered to be a waste of money, nor is it considered squandering."

Cheng Feng nodded and said, "Youning is right. Daddy used the wrong words just now, but you have to spend money wisely and cherish your money."

"I will listen carefully to my father's teachings."

Cheng Feng said to Shang Xi again: "Madam, I think we should just forget about this matter. What my son said does make sense and is not without merit."

Shang Xi looked at the loving father and filial son, and felt that she was an unreasonable person looking for trouble. She really wanted to beat them up.

Shang Xi asked Cheng Feng angrily, "When will you stop speaking up for your son?"

Cheng Feng said, "Madam, don't be angry. How could you bear to see our son starving on the street?" He closed the account book and handed it to the shopkeeper, fearing that Shang Xi would get angrier and angrier the more she looked at it.

Shang Xi said: "He is still running around in the street when he is hungry. Shouldn't he go home to eat when he is hungry? I think this kid is just greedy. He has never lived a hard life and has no idea how hard it is to earn a penny."

Cheng Feng said: "Why do we make money? Neither of us is a spendthrift."

What Cheng Feng meant by this was that the money earned was for Cheng Youning to spend, and since the child knew how to spend money, let him spend it.

Shang Xi said: "Spend the money that should be spent, and don't spend the money that shouldn't be spent."

Cheng Feng said, "Yes, yes, Madam is right. I will listen to you. I will talk to my son about this later. He understands the truth and will understand it as soon as I tell him."

Shang Xi said: "Didn't you see him reasoning with us? I said something and he responded. He seemed to be well-behaved and sensible, but in fact he was not convinced at all."

Cheng Feng said, "Wife, don't worry about this matter. I will handle it. I will definitely be able to convince my son."

Shang Xi didn't believe what Cheng Feng said, but she didn't say anything. They were a family and they were out there, so there was no way they could argue about who was right or wrong.

The shopkeeper looked at the three of them, each one more difficult to deal with than the other, so he asked Cheng Feng: "Young Master, what about when the young master comes next time?"

"If he needs money, let him take it." Cheng Feng spoke softly, but Cheng Youning heard it clearly, and the corners of his mouth secretly curled up.

The housekeeper said, "I feel relieved after hearing what the master said."

Shang Xi whispered, "Cheng Feng, this is how you handle it. Aren't you just indulging him?"

Cheng Feng took Shang Xi's hand and said, "Madam, we only have this one son. It's rare for the three of us to go out together. Don't make him unhappy. Our son is not a real spendthrift. It's not a big problem to take some money out of the account to eat and drink, and give some money to the beggars."

Shang Xi said: "To spoil a child is like to kill him, so just spoil him."

Cheng Feng said: "I didn't spoil him. I was very strict with him. Just wait, this matter will not be over when we get home."

Shang Xi knew that Cheng Feng was just trying to fool her, but she didn't want to argue with him here. She had to talk about this matter after returning home.

Cheng Youning was a tireless child. He would not go home until he got tired of playing. He bought a lot of useful and useless things. The family of three did not go home until the afternoon.

As soon as they entered the courtyard, the couple was called by the servants of Master Wan and Madam Wan, "Are you two going to the fields today?"

Cheng Feng smiled and said, "I went to the fields to take a look, and then took Cheng Youning to the streets for a walk, had something to eat, and bought some small things."

Master Wan asked, "Have you checked the shop?"

Cheng Feng said, "I've read it. I have one more thing I want to ask you, Dad and Mom. Is Cheng Youning being disobedient in the mansion?"

Mr. Wan was about to speak but stopped, but Mrs. Wan spoke up: "Why is my grandson so disobedient? When you were not back, the child was well-behaved and sensible. Why do you see my grandson with all his problems when you come back?"

"Mom, I didn't say anything."

Mrs. Wan asked, "What else do you want to say?"

Cheng Feng said, "Mom, I won't tell you that you are unreasonable when it comes to your grandson's affairs."

Cheng Feng didn't believe what Madam Wan said. He had to listen to his father on this matter. "Dad, has he been irritating me recently?"

Master Wan said, "Even if it makes you angry, you can't tie up my grandson. You have been tying him all the way. Do you want to kill my grandson or do you want to kill me and your mother?"

Madam Wan said, "That's right. I haven't come to you to settle accounts with you yet, and you're still sitting here looking for trouble with my grandson. You treated my grandson like that, so this matter can't be settled like this."

Cheng Feng said, "I tied him up for only an hour. When you saw it, he tied himself up in order to accuse me in front of you."

Madam Wan said, "It's impossible. I saw it with my own eyes. You abused my grandson."

Cheng Feng said: "Mom, I can't explain it to you clearly."

Mrs. Wan said: "Don't worry about what you say, it's true that my grandson's wrists and ankles were injured."

Cheng Feng said: "So what do you two elders want?"
