When Yu Yaoyao talked to her son, she couldn’t help but recall one of the conversations of the zookeeper she had overheard.
There was once a rich tyrant in the area, but his company closed down and was buried deep in debt. In the end, his house and car were confiscated to pay off his creditors. His life was instantly reduced to shambles, wandering the streets, picking trash, and taking refuge in alcohol. He was impoverished for many years before finally starving to death on the streets.
She had listened to the gossip casually back then.
But now that it has come to this … if Shen Yichong ends up in a similarly miserable state in the future, wouldn’t it be too pitiful? Moreover, his cub is too small … What do I do?
Right now, the family could still manage to live in a big house, and there was no strain on food and clothing. But in the event that the company did go completely bankrupt; when having enough food to fill their stomachs became a challenge, could the father-son duo bear it?
No, it won’t do! We cannot wait for it to happen. We had better start saving money from now on.
On one hand, being miserly could get them to gradually adapt to such a life. On the other, it would also save money and make the situation at home a bit more bearable.
Thinking as such Yu Yaoyao decided to live a frugal life starting today, steering clear of expensive things. Doing so would give them a good start, and she and Shen Yichong could continue to work hard to support the child and raise him well.
“Don’t worry, cub … Starting today, Mommy won’t eat meat – Daddy and you will. From now on, Mommy will be the one supporting and raising you both!” Yu Yaoyao confidently thumped her chest and assured the little guy.
She looked at the price list on the brochure of the supermarket. The salary she was paid for filming today was more than enough to buy today’s groceries. No matter how dire the circumstances, she would absolutely never let the family starve to death on the streets!
She would just work harder!
But the little bun who was told that there was no money at home tilted his head and pointed at the cameraman uncle behind Yu Yaoyao.
“If you film this show, you’ll get money – 10 million, right?”
Shen Rui, this little bun, had a very good memory. He still remembered the words Director Zhao used to persuade his father to participate in the show. But the little bun did not know if this money was a lot or very less. Nor did he know how to spend all the 10 million at once if it were handed to him.
Yu Yaoyao sighed when she heard his words. The remuneration for 《Wife and I》was 30 million. Even if they were to buy a lifetime’s worth of lobsters, there would still be some money left! But then, news on the internet stated that Shen Yichong’s company owed the bank hundreds of millions … It would take at least three such thirty-million lump sums to finish paying it off!
However, her eyes lit up as she pondered.
She looked behind her shoulder and hollered at Director Yu: “Director, if you’re going to shoot a second season of 《Wife and I》, don’t forget to invite me first!”
The debt can be paid off by shooting 3 seasons!
Thinking as such, she wished she could immediately sign the follow-up contracts with Director Zhao and demand a hike in her remuneration along the way!
Zhao Yu heard all her ramblings.
In fact, as the mother-son duo walked, there was a boom operator trailing them.
The entire conversation was clearly recorded.
Director Zhao considered it, and understood what she was getting at. “Okay, I’ll find you then.” Then he added. “If our ratings remain high, sure will.”
Yu Yaoyao agreed happily.
?
After Shen Yichong finished attending his call, he found Yy Yaoyao and the little bun huddled together on the floor whispering in hushed voices. God knows what the two were discussing so seriously, but they smiled and hugged after a while.
When he returned, he found a change in atmosphere (hint of comradery?) between the mother and son. When he reached for two pieces of steak and was about to place them in the cart, Yu Yaoyao immediately reached out and stopped him.
“Husband … Don’t buy so much meat~”
She took a quick peek at the price.
So darn expensive! Each piece costs 200 yuan! On a rough estimate, this wouldn’t even cover the expense for 3 plates!
Shen Yichong raised his eyebrows. Didn’t she love meat? Did this unpredictable person change her tastes again?
