Chapter: 3218

Old Lady Xiaoxi looked like a defeated rooster, lightly nodding her head.

As soon as Ye Chen saw this, he directly closed the garden gate and walked back to his villa.

Outside the door, Old Lady Xiaoxi had just turned around to leave when she noticed Xu Weiwei holding an Hermès bag with a small Hermès packaging box inside.

She then subconsciously asked: "Weiwei, how did you still buy Hermès things? Given our family's current economic situation, we can't afford such luxury items!"

Xu Weiwei immediately looked flustered and said: "Ah, grandma... this is for someone else, don't worry about it..."

"For someone else?" Old Lady Xiaoxi suddenly became angry and said: "At present, the whole family is trying to be thrifty and reduce expenses. I'm hoping your dad and older brother will get back on their feet soon and go out to work to support the family. But you, after earning some money, just started buying luxury items to give away? Can we really afford to send Hermès gifts to others like that?"

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand to grab the bag and directly pulled out a receipt, exclaiming: "Oh my god! A belt for nearly 10,000 yuan?! Gone crazy?! We're almost starving, and you're burning through our money to buy this stuff? Hurry up and give me a refund!"

Xu Weiwei didn't expect that she had bought the belt intending to give it to Ye Chen, but it ended up infuriating Old Lady Xiaoxi.

As soon as she saw grandma's furious expression, Xu Weiwei also became angry and blurted out: "Every yuan I spend now is earned through my own hard work. I want to buy what I want, and no one has the right to interfere!"

"What?! I have no right to interfere?!" Old Lady Xiaoxi had just finished eating with Ye Chen, making a fuss over her and being scolded back, feeling very annoyed in her heart. She saw Xu Weiwei daring to mouth off at her, and suddenly lit her temper on fire.

She immediately stopped in her tracks, berating: "Don't you forget, this family has always been under my control, past, present, and future! We're currently going through the most difficult time, every yuan is spent like it's on the edge of a sword! You're just wastefully spending money, putting our family's life at risk!"

Xu Weiwei felt wronged, angry: "In the past, I let you control everything because you held all the power in the house. But everything in the house was being pawned off by you! Now that everything is zero, starting from scratch, and I've earned my money through hard work. Why should I still let you be in charge?"

Xu Weiwei's anger grew as she spoke, her voice rising: "From now on, I'll handle my own affairs! As for the money I earn, I'll set aside a portion for your living expenses and my dad's and brother's medical treatment fees. The rest, every yuan, will be mine to dispose of as I see fit, you have no right to interfere!"

Old Lady Xiaoxi was furious, gritting her teeth: "You're really rebelling against me! Are you going to follow in the footsteps of that shameless Xu Yiru and defy me?"

Xu Weiwei's eyes welled up with tears as she said: "Learning from my initial sister is fine, there's nothing wrong with it. She just doesn't listen to your words, but she's happier than I am now!"

As she spoke, her tone became very firm: "I've already said what needs to be said. If you're willing to accept it, then follow my lead from now on. I'll give you a monthly allowance, and the rest is none of your business or concern. But if you don't accept it, then I'll move out tomorrow and rent an apartment. It's really not possible for me to stay at the company anymore, the office space is too big!"

Old Lady Xiaoxi saw Xu Weiwei's resolute attitude, suddenly got flustered: "Oh no, Weiwei, what are you saying... we've been through so much as a family of four, seen and experienced everything. How can we just scatter like that?"

She immediately assured her: "Weiwei, don't worry, from now on, I won't interfere with your personal decisions. You just go out and work hard, and let me handle the rest of the household affairs!"

Xu Weiwei immediately said: "Okay! Then it's settled!"

Old Lady Xiaoxi said excitedly: "Okay, okay, it's settled, it's settled!"

After that, she smiled and approached, asking, "Right, Weiwei, how much living expenses will you give me for the next month? You say I'm old now, I need to take care of my body regularly. This standard is a bit high, but I'll ask for six thousand yuan per month, which includes my own life expenses and your father's and brother's medical expenses. If that's not enough, I'll add two thousand yuan, making it eight thousand in total. You think that's okay?"

Weiwei naturally understood that the monthly living expenses for three people would be a bit high.

However, she didn't want to argue with Old Lady Xiaoxi, as long as Old Lady Xiaoxi was willing to give up her control over Weiwei's life, it was already a huge victory.

As for eight thousand yuan, although it was a bit much, but the company's income was very good and her own monthly income had already reached tens of thousands.

Besides, the company developed well, and profits were high. After each quarter's tax returns, she would have a small portion of the net profit as her bonus. So, giving eight thousand yuan per month wasn't a big burden. JrNovels.com
