Chapter 1451 Changed After Becoming a Mother
Qiao Mei took the list given by Xia Wen and carefully checked each child's requisite items twice. After confirming that there were no mistakes, she stuffed another 50 dollars into each child's school bag.
"Hey! Why are you giving them so much money! Even if they need money, I should be the one giving it to them! I'm no longer short on cash now. Quick, take it back!" Li Gui said anxiously.
"This is my gift to them. This way, even if they lack something, they can go out and buy it. We don't have to worry about them in the event that they forget to bring what they need," Qiao Mei said with a smile as she stroked the children's school bags gently.
"Aren't you worried that these children will spend money recklessly?" Li Gui said worriedly.
"They've been going around with us to earn money since they were young, so they definitely know how difficult it is to earn money. I believe they won't waste money," Qiao Mei said.
Zhang Miao looked at Qiao Mei in confusion and asked, "Elder Sister, what does it mean to waste money?"
Zhang Miao, who was the youngest, did not actually know how she should spend money. However, Li Gui had previously taught her that she should only buy necessities, and necessities referred only to things that she could not do without!
"To waste money means you don't cherish money and simply buy whatever you want without any restraint. It's not right to be so unrestrained. You can buy whatever you like or want and that's not considered a waste of money. However, if you go around buying things no matter whether you like it or not, and those things are not even useful, then it's a waste," Qiao Mei said after thinking for a long time.
Zhang Miao looked at Qiao Mei but she did not quite grasp the concept. She still did not understand what Qiao Mei meant, but she understood the principle that money must be spent wisely!
"I understand!" Zhang Miao said earnestly.
Qiao Mei called all the children to come over and gave every child a whole list of instructions. She really wished that she could split herself into four parts and go to school with each of the children.
For some reason, she could not help but feel nervous when she looked at children now. She had never felt this way before. Perhaps she had changed after becoming a mother and her thoughts were all about all children's well-being now.
"You must hide whatever money you have. Don't let other people find out that you have a lot of money. Nowadays, two dollars is a lot of money to most people. The money I have given you is meant for emergencies. You must not show it to others, do you understand?" Qiao Mei reminded them.
"Got it!" the four children replied in unison.
After saying that, the children went out to play. They were about to start school and did not have much time left to play around. There was no point in asking them to read those boring textbooks for now, so the adults were inclined to let the children have fun for now.
After work, Xia He went to the changing room and changed into the clothes which Qiao Mei had matched for her. Everyone was very envious of Xia He's outfit.
"Sister Xia He! Where did you buy such huge pearl earrings! Look at this ring full of diamonds. This is the type which can only be found at auctions!" Xiao Nan said as she looked at Xia He in shock.
"Oh, you actually know about auctions! You haven't studied much, but you sure know a lot!" Bai Dian said to Xiao Nan with a grin.
"Hmph, I still know about such things!" Xiao Nan said smugly.
"My sister-in-law gave these to me. She likes all these things," Xia He lowered her head and said embarra.s.sedly.
Li Hua stood at the side and looked at Xia He with a jealous expression. The Li family was unknown in the capital and just a very ordinary family. Li Hua's family had to scrimp and save to buy her dance clothes and dancing shoes. Her entire family was waiting for her to become a big star!
She had entered the industry in the same year as Xia He, but she still only received mediocre roles now. She was indignant that Xia He could so easily get the female lead role!
"What is so rare about this that you have to fawn in this manner? Such a bunch of ignorant country b.u.mpkins! How ignorant!" Li Hua said disdainfully.
"Gosh, such sour grapes! Have you ever seen such a big pearl! I don't think you've ever seen anything like this before! If you're so capable, then bring one and show us! You don't have anything valuable on you, yet you're still criticizing others!" Xiao Nan said as she looked at Li Hua mockingly.
Xia He did not want to get into any argument with the others and tugged at the corner of Xiao Nan's clothes to stop her from talking. However, Li Hua was not going to let them off just like that.
