Chapter: 2478

She was busy until very late and only managed to catch the last bus home, dragging a tired body back to the Tangchen Mansion.

Since Xiu Wei Wei went out to work, the Xiu family barely had enough to eat, with some rice prepared at home, but not daring to say that it could feed Xiu Lao Tai Tai, Xiu Chang Gwan, and Xiu Hai Long, at least filling their bellies with a pot of white rice.

Xiu Wei Wei returned home, where Xiu Lao Tai Tai had just finished serving white rice to Xiu Chang Gwan and Xiu Hai Long. She herself poured some hot water into a bowl, added a bit of salt, and ate alone.

Seeing Xiu Wei Wei return, she couldn't help but express some discontent: "Wei Wei, how late did you get back today? I'm taking care of your dad and brother at home, feeling like I'm going to die from exhaustion. You didn't say you would be leaving early to come back and help me."

Xiu Wei Wei apologized slightly: "I'm sorry, Grandma. The company things are more complicated, so I got delayed for a bit longer......"

Xiu Lao Tai Tai was unhappy: "So what? You're just going to be an etiquette lady? You'll finish it and take the money back home, how can you wait this late?"

Lying on the bed next to Xiu Hai Long, he didn't say anything, but looked at Xiu Wei Wei with a pained expression: "Yeah, Wei Wei, I really want to eat a bowl of egg-drop soup today, and said I would buy half a pound of pork and two eggs when you come back early, but it's been waiting until now......"

Xiu Chang Gwan sighed beside him: "Wei Wei, Dad has been feeling unwell these past few days. As soon as he starts to pull his muscles, he gets painful and unbearable. It seems that this period of poor nutrition, lack of calcium, is very severe. Can you find a way to buy him some calcium tablets?"

Xiu Wei Wei looked at her father and brother's pitiful faces and felt sorry for them in her heart. She wanted to tell them everything that had happened today, so they could know that Ye Chen had given her a great opportunity to manage a company and earn a monthly salary of 10,000 yuan.

However, as soon as she thought about what Ye Chen had entrusted to her, not wanting to deviate from the plan or let her emotions get the better of her, she suppressed the urge and said instead: "Dad, brother, you two just hold on a little longer. The company has adjusted my position, allowing me to manage it, with a monthly salary of 10,000 yuan, I'll go to the finance department tomorrow to withdraw half a month's wages, and by then our family life will definitely improve."

Xiu Chang Gwan was shocked by her words: "Wei Wei, are all these things true?! Are you really going to be a manager at the company?!"

Xiu Hai Long also asked in a hurry: "Wei Wei, is it really 10,000 yuan per month?!"

Wei Wei nodded seriously and said: "It's really 10,000 yuan per month."

As she spoke, she took out the latest model iPhone that Ye Chen had bought for her, feeling grateful as she said: "The boss didn't want me to be without a phone or make work inconvenient, so he specially gave me one..."

"I'm going crazy!" Xiu Hai Long suddenly got excited and blurted out: "Sister! You're flying high now! The thousands of yuan on that phone, the boss says it's a gift, really so generous!"

On the side, Xiu Old Lady was also agitated, tears streaming down her face as she muttered through her mouthful of words: "If Wei Wei can really earn 10,000 yuan per month, that day will be three hundred or more. With this much money, our family's life will definitely get better!"

As she spoke, Xiu Old Lady calculated: "Now pork costs about twenty to thirty yuan per pound, and ordinary rice is around three yuan per pound. Our four-person family can afford one pound of pork, two pounds of rice, and some vegetables each day. The most we'll spend on groceries is seventy to eighty yuan. We can also buy a few bottles of milk to supplement calcium. One hundred yuan should be enough, with some left over for Chang Gwan and Hai Long to take some medicine to speed up their recovery. Even if we spend an extra one hundred yuan each day, we'll still have one hundred yuan left!"

Xiu Hai Long tears streaming down his face: "Grandma, I can finally afford a little meat every day......"

"Ah, yes..." Xiu Old Lady sighed and then said: "After you and your dad recover, you both go find a job. Don't expect to earn much money, but as a couple, you'll definitely have enough to make at least five or six thousand yuan each month. When that time comes, our family's income will be around fifteen to sixteen thousand yuan per month, and by then we'll have made it through the tough times!"

Xiu Wei Wei heard this and felt deeply saddened.

She thought: "In the past, Xiu Family wasn't rich, but at least they had assets worth several million or even tens of millions......"

"That time, as a family, you'd need to spend big money just on food, maybe even more."

"But back then, everyone was still dissatisfied, feeling like life was too hard, and wanting to strive for more..."

"Now, after going through so many things, people in the family have taken a sharp drop in their expectations of life."

"In the past, no matter how good things were, we weren't satisfied, and now that as long as we can afford to eat meat every day and have some savings left over, that's already considered a dream come true in our eyes..." JrNovels.com
