Chapter 192: How Was This Done Nationwide?
"Inside here is twenty thousand yuan, it’s the hard-earned money my boss gave me separately, saved up for several years. I was saving it for emergencies, but when I heard we were going abroad, I brought it out."
It was a crudely stitched cloth bag, with only a bank card inside, and a few hundred yuan that had been rolled up for a long time.
Father Qin said seriously, "Your mother has been with me her whole life, suffered a lot, and hasn’t enjoyed a single day of happiness. Even when we got married, it was done hastily, so I wanted to..."
Upon hearing this, Gu Zhi couldn’t quite describe how she felt but knowingly curled her lips, "I understand, keep your emergency money, you won’t need it here."
Father Qin shook his head at these words, "No, no, no, how could that be okay? We can’t just spend money from you and the show. This money was meant for your mom..."
"Then give it to my mom to manage, okay? I’m your daughter, why are you being so polite with me?"
Father Qin was stunned for a moment when he heard this, unable to speak.
Gu Zhi found this normally silent and honest old man particularly adorable and couldn’t help but shake her head, "If you spend your emergency money, we’ll be the ones covering emergencies later, isn’t it the same thing?"
Father Qin was finally persuaded and nodded helplessly, "Alright, alright, who’s gonna argue when you’re my daughter? Your brother and the others will split this cost."
Gu Zhi couldn’t help but laugh.
[Oh wow, this is so relatable. When Mr. Qin took out that wallet, it reminded me of my grandma, using the exact same wallet, tightly stitched. How is this so uniform across the country?]
[People from that era were all like this, thinking it was less likely to lose it. This twenty thousand yuan is actually their life-saving emergency fund, but really, it doesn’t do much now /cry.]
