Chapter 242 Need More Money
Chang Yao put the frozen dumplings into the refrigerator, closed the door and walked into his house.
Jiang Jingyu brought out three dishes and a soup. Chang Yao saw it and asked, "Isn't it too much for just the two of us?"
"New Year, I have to eat well. You've already given me living expenses, so I'll take care of the rest." Jiang Jingyu said angrily, "This is my job. You have to give me room to develop. If I don't make more delicious food, how can I get you to renew your contract?"
"Okay, if you do well, I'll give you a reward backstage."
"Now that you say that, I feel motivated." Jiang Jingyu put some food into her bowl.
After Chang Yao had her meal, she sat on the sofa in his house to digest the food. She picked up her cell phone and saw that Pei Yajie was calling.
She said, "Jingyu, I'm going back."
"Okay, I'll call you when dinner is ready."
Chang Yao agreed, opened the door and walked into her home. She pressed the answer button: "Yajie, what's wrong?"
"I thought you were alone every year during the New Year, so why don't you come over this year and spend the New Year together."
Their relationship has also eased this year. Before that, they had no contact except for living expenses.
It was only this year that I found out how miserable she was. Her mother didn't take good care of her. She could only lie in bed every day, looking at the ceiling in despair, smelling the stench coming from the room, day after day.
In comparison, what else could she complain about? She secretly vowed that as long as she was alive, she would always take care of Pei Yajie's living expenses.
"it is good."
"Then I'll tell my mom to cook more dishes tonight." Pei Yajie was very happy.
Before this, they only had monetary transactions, but this year they became friends. She had few friends in her life, and Chang Yao was one of them.
Chang Yao went home and took a nap. When she woke up, she changed her clothes and went out. She looked across and took out her cell phone to send a message to Jiang Jingyu: I have a date with friends tonight, so you don’t have to cook for me.
Jiang Jingyu set a special ringtone for the message she sent him. When he heard the ringtone, he quickly ran back to his workstation from the company's tea room.
He picked up the message and saw it, his eyes gradually filled with loss, and then he sent her a message: Let's wait until next time.
Chang Yao went downstairs. A cold wind blew and she couldn't help but wrap her coat tightly. She walked to the roadside and stopped a taxi to go to Pei Yajie's house.
She walked into the house carrying things. Pei's mother turned on the air conditioner and the temperature in the living room was very warm. When Pei's mother saw that her hands were full of things, she smiled broadly.
"Give me the food, go sit on the sofa, and dinner will be served soon."
She walked over, sat next to Pei Yajie, took out a handmade bread from her bag and gave it to Pei Yajie: "This is specially brought for you."
In order to prevent the room from smelling bad, her mother prepared a simple meal for her. She hadn't eaten anything else for a long time.
"Thank you, Chang Yao, and happy new year."
Chang Yao took out a red envelope from her bag and handed it to her: "This is a red envelope for you. Happy New Year. I hope you will get better and better in the new year."
Pei Yajie held her hand: "Chang Yao, I want to go back to my room."
Chang Yao pushed the wheelchair over and picked up Pei Yajie. Pei Yajie had been confused for years and had been lying in bed without exercising, so her actual weight was actually very light.
She put Pei Yajie on the wheelchair and pushed her back to the room. Seeing that Pei Yajie seemed to have something to say to her, she closed the door.
"Yajie, what's wrong?"
"Chang Yao, my mother just can't accept a daughter like me. In fact, she takes good care of me. Chang Yao, if I am gone one day, can you help me take care of my mother?"
Chang Yao saw that her condition was very abnormal and was a little worried about her: "Yajie, what's wrong with you? Did something happen?"
"I've been in poor health since I got sick. I'm worried that I won't make it one day, leaving my mother here all alone. My father left me when he found out about my condition. I've lost everything I've been living for."
"Don't think too much. If that day ever comes for you, I promise I will take good care of your mother."
"Thank you, thank you Chang Yao." Pei Yajie was so moved that she shed tears.
Chang Yao took a tissue and wiped the tears from her cheeks: "This is what I should do."
There was a knock on the door, and Pei Ma's voice came from the door: "The food is ready, let's eat."
Chang Yao pushed Pei Yajie out, and they sat together, with Pei's mother sitting opposite them.
Pei Yajie ate the porridge and did not touch the food on the table. She knew that her mother had worked very hard over the years, so she tried to be sensible and not make the house smelly.
Mother Pei put some food in her bowl and said, "Yajie invited you to dinner without even asking what you like. I just made some for you to try."
Chang Yao stuffed the food into her mouth and chewed it: "It's delicious."
Mother Pei rolled her eyes and said, "This winter is exceptionally cold. We're worried Yajie might freeze, so we've been running the air conditioner 24/7. The electricity bill is rising rapidly. For example, this vegetable used to cost over a dollar, but now it's three dollars a pound. It's too expensive."
Pei Yajie couldn't help but say, "Mom, can you eat properly?"
Mother Pei's temper flared up instantly: "If it weren't for that sinner, you would be in college now, find a good job after graduation, meet a good boy, get married and have children. I should be raising your children and taking care of your little family. Why are you speaking for an outsider?"
Pei Yajie couldn't bear to hear this. She cried sadly: "Mom, enough is enough. I have already considered myself unlucky for everything that happened to me. The criminal is lying in the hospital bed, and Chang Yao's mother was forced to death by the villagers. All our expenses were borne by Chang Yao. She was still a child when she sent us money."
Mother Pei was in the wrong for the death of Chang Yao's mother. Over the years, she has been dwelling on the harm her daughter suffered and demanding compensation from Chang Yao. She has become accustomed to a life where money can be easily made.
Sometimes I think that other people’s children can’t go home once a year, and when they do, they ask their parents for money, and rarely bring any money home. But she, on the other hand, just sits at home and someone gives her money, and her daughter is by her side. This kind of life is not bad either.
"You stupid girl, I work so hard every day to serve you, and at the critical moment, you talk back to me. Prices are rising now, electricity and water bills are all free, is it too much for me to ask for more money?"
Chang Yao said, "It's not excessive, but this is the last payment of compensation."
During her four years in college, she paid a stable amount of 5,000 yuan per month, which is 60,000 yuan a year. In her fourth year of work after graduation, she had already paid back 480,000 yuan, and together with the amount she had before, it was already 500,000 yuan.
Mother Pei didn't expect that she took so much money but didn't keep a penny.
At this moment, she panicked, worried that Chang Yao would completely abandon them and their daughter. How would they live in the future? "Chang Yao, if you dare not give me the money, I will sue you. You hurt my daughter like this, and you want to pat your butt and walk away? I tell you, no way!"
Chang Yao was stabbed in the heart by her words, feeling suffocated. After taking a deep breath, she spoke calmly.
"As long as you don't go too far, everything is easy to talk about."
