Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!-Chapter 505: She Owes Us (Two - s Combined)
"Mom, I can’t live in such a small house," Ye Ning said after hearing it. "You see our current home, we’re used to living in a big villa. How can we adapt to such a small house?"
Ye Dezhang chimed in, "Life isn’t easy for the child in B City. Let’s not trouble her."
"What do you mean by trouble!" Xu Huizhen was unhappy to hear that.
She didn’t care if Shi Jiumei was still there, nor was she afraid of being laughed at: "Didn’t you hear? Ye Fei is rich now! Just one advertisement earns 500,000! I’m not saying she gets ads every day, but even if it’s less, taking three or four a month, she earns a few million a month!"
"Someone who makes millions a month, you think she would buy a small house in B City? Even if she can’t buy a villa, she’d at least have a big flat, right? If she doesn’t have a big flat, at worst, she’d have a three-bedroom or two-bedroom, right? Can we still not fit?"
"Unless she’s unwilling to let us live there, otherwise we should be able to fit," Xu Huizhen said. "Moreover, she’s so rich now that even if her house is not enough for us, she can rent a big house for us."
"It’s not expensive to rent a house. If she takes out thirty or fifty thousand a month to rent us a house, I won’t ask for much, three bedrooms are enough," Xu Huizhen shouted. "Why can’t she even rent that?"
"Someone who makes millions a month, taking out thirty or fifty thousand a month for rent, what’s that to her? She hasn’t contacted the family for five years, and hasn’t given a single penny to the family. Who knows how much she has secretly saved!"
"Ha! That’s your good daughter," Xu Huizhen said pointing at Ye Dezhang. "All these years, our family has relied entirely on Ning Ning. She runs the restaurant by herself, makes money to support the family, got us this big villa, and lets the two of us retire early."
"You stroll around every day, no need to work, living leisurely and comfortably, isn’t it all because of Ning Ning? Our family has been entirely supported by Ning Ning over these years! While Ye Fei lives easily and happily in B City, we raised her for 19 years, and she hasn’t given the family a single penny!"
"Now we’re going to B City to find her, so what if we live at her place? So what if we let her rent a house for us? That’s 19 years of nurturing grace, adding these 5 years altogether, she owes it to us!"
"Ye Dezhang, listen to your words, are they worthy of our Ning Ning? Carelessly spending Ning Ning’s money here, you’re not distressed. Going to B City to find Ye Fei, haven’t even asked her for money, yet you feel distressed already?"
"Did you forget, your beloved younger daughter hasn’t cared about you for five years?" Xu Huizhen questioned Ye Dezhang.
Ye Dezhang was left speechless by Xu Huizhen.
Facing Xu Huizhen’s questioning, Ye Dezhang couldn’t utter a word in rebuttal.
Because everything Xu Huizhen said, he couldn’t refute.
What saddened him most was that Ye Fei hadn’t contacted him in five years.
If Ye Fei were struggling and didn’t contact him to avoid causing trouble, that would be understandable.
After all, Ye Fei has always cared for the family and didn’t want to cause trouble.
That’s Ye Fei’s nature. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
But clearly, Ye Fei is living well, so why won’t she contact him to put his mind at ease?
Not contacting him for five years, he didn’t know how many negative thoughts arose in his mind, worrying if Ye Fei encountered something bad or dangerous.
As a result, Ye Fei has been doing well these five years.
Her career is excellent as well.
Not contacting him, could it be she’s afraid the family will ask her for money?
But he wouldn’t!
Yet Ye Dezhang didn’t realize, with his soft-hearted nature.
If Ye Fei contacted him, wouldn’t Xu Huizhen and Ye Ning find out immediately?
Then would Ye Fei have any peace?
If only Ye Dezhang could stand firm, truly be the head of the family.
Ye Fei wouldn’t have to be like this.
Ye Ning, tearfully and aggrieved, said beside him, "You gave birth to me and raised me, and now that I have the ability, it’s my duty to support you. But Dad, you can’t just assume that all these responsibilities should fall on me."
"Supporting you is my duty, but being responsible for Ye Fei’s share as well isn’t a given. I can fulfill her share too, but you can’t think it’s obligatory."
Ye Dezhang hesitated, sighed, and lowered his head.
Seeing Ye Dezhang’s deflated appearance, Xu Huizhen knew he had been persuaded again.
"Then let’s pack up and go to B City as soon as possible," Xu Huizhen decided.
She then asked Shi Jiumei, "By the way, when do you plan to return?"
"I plan to return as soon as possible. If you’re heading to B City in the next few days, we can go together. But you probably have a lot to handle. If there’s a delay, I can’t just wait around here," Shi Jiumei sighed. "I’m not the same as before. Coming here this time, I’ve used up my old savings. Forced by Ye Fei, I have no income now and really can’t afford to wait."
"Shall we exchange contact information?" Ye Ning suggested, "Once we’re in B City, I’m sure we’ll have many occasions to get in touch."
Shi Jiumei quickly understood Ye Ning’s implication and immediately exchanged contact information with her.
"By the way, I heard from Uncle earlier you’re planning to open a restaurant in B City?" Shi Jiumei asked.
"Yes," Xu Huizhen said with some pride, "Ye City is ultimately too small. Ning Ning’s restaurant here is already the most high-end in Ye City. There’s no room for further growth."
"Moreover, Ye City’s market is only so big. Our restaurant’s market in Ye City is saturated," she articulated with clear logic, "so we need to take the restaurant to a broader market."
"Ning Ning analyzed that since B City is the Capital, the market is large, spending is high, and there are many wealthy people. Opening a restaurant in B City offers better development prospects."
Xu Huizhen proudly said, "By then, branches will open one after another in B City, then in S City, and eventually throughout the country. The Ye City store will be the headquarters. Customers always recognize the flagship store, thinking it tastes better, and then they’ll come to Ye City for... for..."
For what?
Xu Huizhen forgot.
"Pilgrimage," Ye Ning explained.
"Yes, pilgrimage!" Xu Huizhen quickly corrected.
Shi Jiumei thought, you country bumpkins haven’t seen the prosperity of B City.
There are so many high-end restaurants, with prices sky-high beyond your imagination.
You think opening a high-end restaurant in Ye City will also work in B City?
Your so-called high-end restaurant in Ye City is merely ordinary stuff in B City.
What’s Ye City’s spending level and B City’s spending level?
