Closest to Getting Rich Overnight (2)
Jiang Xiaoman looked at Grandma and then at Uncle. No one was scolding her. Her flattened mouth finally relaxed a little, but she was still so scared she wanted to cry.
Yu Wencheng asked her, âWhy canât he take money from Uncle?
âBecause⦠because the police uncle had already given him a reward.â
Jiang Xiaoman boldly continued. âAlso, also my uncle is disobedient. Grandma always says that he has holes in his wallet, and he canât take care of his money. He doesnât come home and Grandma canât find him.â
Jiang Xiaoman remembered that these were the words Jiang Xiumei told her when they talked about Jiang Xing when he wasnât home.
Jiang Xiaoman wanted to play with her fingers again. Although the uncle in front of her was smiling, she felt a lot of pressure.
It felt like⦠being asked a question by Teacher Tang, but she couldnât answer.
Yu Wencheng was a little surprised.
The two adults in the family didnât even say anything to her. He thought that children would not listen to this kind of conversation. Even if she listened and understood what they were talking about, being so young, where did she find such courage?
The little girl in front of him looked only around three or four years old. She was the same size as his son but was thinner and smaller. Her face was as big as his palm, and her eyes were like grapes dipped in water. They were clear and translucent, round and beautiful.
The people in the Jiang family looked thick and sturdy, he could see the similarity in Jiang Xiumei and Jiang Xingâs facial features. But this little girl already looked very pretty and delicate at such a young age. She was a little beauty, very cute and pretty as if there was a genetic mutation.
When Yu Wencheng looked at her, she dared to look back, unexpectedly not afraid.
Very brave.
Thinking about his son at home, Yu Wencheng couldnât help but sigh.
If only he could be half as lively as this little girl.
Yu Wencheng grew to like Jiang Xiaoman more and earnestly said. âThis money is enough for you to live well. Even if you donât work in the future, you wonât have to worry about food and clothing.â
No one should be able to resist this temptation, right?
This family didnât seem to be wealthy, so their life shouldâve been very difficult. The little girl might be cute, but the clothes she was wearing had been patched here and there. This money should be something that she needed.
Yu Wencheng felt that he had done enough.
âThatâs even worse.â Jiang Xiaoman originally refused just because of the task that the system gave her, but now she felt that they couldnât receive it.
She anxiously said. âHow could you give so much money? Uncle is already lazy, but wonât he be even lazier in the future? What if all the money was spent?â
Yes, no matter how much money there was, what would they do after it had all been spent?
Jiang Xiumei originally didnât know what Jiang Xiaoman was going on about, but after hearing what she said, she was immediately enlightened.
Xiaoman made sense.
Jiang Xing was already uncontrollable, if he had money in his hands, wouldnât he be away from home every day? And once the money was all spent, would they still have the cheeks to ask for more?
Even if you got a sudden windfall from the sky, how could it last if you didnât work? Even a mountain of gold and silver will run out.
Jiang Xiumei already felt that her son never showed any effort, and she couldnât tolerate it anymore this time. She immediately stood on Xiaomanâs side and loudly said, âRight right right. Xiaoman is right, we canât accept your money. We already received the reward from the police, we couldnât accept more.â
Yu Wencheng didnât expect that they would listen to this child. He was stunned for a moment, but he didnât insist. He asked, âThen what do you want? As long as it is within my means, I would do it.â
Jiang Xing caressed the bank card in his hand with a heavy heart. Originally, he didnât think much about the thank you gift. But after Yu Wencheng said that he would be rich and free of worries, as an adult, he was still a bit moved.
Butâ¦
His mother was watching him, and his niece was watching him too.
Jiang Xing gritted his teeth and pushed the card back. âDonât ask me, ask Xiaoman.â
