"I didn't say I wouldn't let you eat well, but it's just that I really don't need to spend some of my wasted money."

Gan Qi explained: "You! You have been brainwashed by consumerism and think that expensive things are good. In fact, the prices of many things are inflated by speculation. You will know when I come back from picking fresh vegetables from the vegetable market. No worse than those shipped by air from overseas!”

Meng Yan: "But the time you pay is also a cost. Obviously, if you spend a little more money, you can let others carefully select it and send it over, saving time to do other more meaningful things."

Gan Qi: "Maybe my time is not as valuable as yours. In my opinion, the money saved is worth it."

She raised her head and glanced at Meng Yan: This man is not like a person from an ordinary family, who spends money in a grand way.

"Mr. Meng, I don't know what exactly is the reason why you have such a lavish habit of spending money now. You obviously said before that your family background was ordinary, but the more I look at it, the more it doesn't seem right to me."

Meng Yan was startled and felt slightly guilty.

"Well, my family is very ordinary. In fact, a vegetable in the hotel is not expensive, at most seven to eight hundred."

Gan Qi sat in the entrance hall, lowering her head and changing her shoes.

"How should I put it... Our consumption concepts are still different. It may be related to our experiences growing up. You probably have never experienced the days of worrying about money."

Meng Yan: Worrying about money? He has not yet encountered this situation in his life dictionary.

Seeing how free and easy he lived, Gan Qi even doubted whether she was right or wrong for a moment, and her experience in college flashed through her mind.

"Mr. Meng, I haven't asked about your past. I don't know if you have ever been in a tight situation. Seven or eight hundred yuan... It's not too much to say it's too much, but it's not too little to say it's too little. At least it's enough for me now. Bought some good clothes.”

"I remember that the tuition fee in college was 3500 yuan a year. At that time, in order to make up for the tuition, I tutored children with their homework. In order to take more classes, I only charged 20 yuan per class at the beginning, and each class lasted two hours. . After tutoring the children every day, I worked part-time in the restaurant at night. On weekends, I paid 50 yuan an afternoon to receive and distribute flyers, but I didn’t get paid for the work many times.”

"Later, I finally got the tuition money together, and I still had to do odd jobs to earn money. I worked as a shopping guide in a clothing store, served dishes in restaurants, and even worked as a bricklayer for a short period of time. I kept my food expenses within 200 for a month."

"You know, my adoptive parents passed away early, and my uncle and aunt were too embarrassed to ask for money. Every penny I spent was spent wisely...so expenditures that may seem insignificant to you are insignificant to me. It's a waste."

"You think seven or eight hundred yuan of vegetables is not expensive. After all, you are at Meng's headquarters, and Meng's Company is famous for its high salaries, but for me...even though my monthly income has exceeded 2 yuan, it still feels expensive. I still can’t forget the life I used to have to pay 20 yuan a class.”

Meng Yan listened to her story quietly, and his heart, which had been calm for a long time, was touched.

It turns out that she had such a difficult past.

Gan Qi: "Maybe you sometimes think that I am stingy in life. I just can't throw away money like Yun Danfengqing."

Meng Yan suddenly said: "I'm sorry."

Gan Qi turned around in surprise, and the sad atmosphere just now ended abruptly.

"Why are you apologizing? It's not because of you that I work so hard to make money...haha."

She found it a bit funny and quickly pulled away from the memories.

Meng Yan: "I just suddenly understood you and you did the right thing."

Gan Qi: "This is my destiny. God will give great responsibilities to people here, but they must first work hard! I will definitely be a person who does great things in the future. So don't look at me with sympathy. I hate this."

With that said, she stood up to get the keys to the electric car.

Meng Yan suddenly stopped her: "Gan Qi!"

"Ok?"

"Remember when we first got married, I gave you a bank card, which contained our living expenses."

"Yes, it's a full 10 yuan. I still don't dare to touch the money."

Meng Yan: "That card is specifically responsible for our living expenses. Just buy whatever you need and eat whatever you want. It's not that difficult to make money in this world. You don't have to dwell on the past."
