Chapter 128 Tamagotchi
Counting back three generations, all the relatives of the Ren and Lin families were low-level working people with little knowledge. This generation might be the one doing the best.
Before Ren Qianshui graduated, Ren Qianli was considered a leader of his generation. He was a civil servant, which was considered an official position in ancient times. In addition, his wife was also a formal employee of a state-owned enterprise, and her father-in-law happened to be his boss.
So in previous years, people would come to their house to pay New Year's greetings, not hoping that this official relative would help them one day, but just to establish a good relationship. But in fact, everyone also knows that the chances of the other party helping them are not high, because the other party's department is the Transportation Bureau. Can you ask him to help buy tickets? He has to fight for tickets himself!
But Ren Qianshui is different now. She has become a big star. The older generation may not understand what a star can do, but the younger generation knows it very well.
Several artists in the entertainment industry were exposed for tax evasion, and even the amount of tax evasion was calculated in billions. You can imagine how much their real income is!
Official Ren Qianli cannot protect them for the time being, but the big star’s money is actually in their hands.
When faced with inquiries from relatives, Ren Jiadong and Lin Hefang vaguely realized that their little daughter seemed to be very rich? When others heard that Ren Qianshui gave them several thousand yuan a month and hired a nanny, their peers immediately expressed envy. But the younger generation said, this is just a little bit of money leaking out from the nails!
But what does this have to do with them? No matter how much money she earns, it's hers. She can't give a share of her earnings to these relatives, right?
Not to mention, Ren Jiadong, who loves his reputation, actually had such an idea. However, there were too many people talking at that time, so Ren Qianshui pretended not to hear and ignored the question. But she guessed that Ren Jiadong would call her later.
Sure enough, the next day, Ren Jiadong and Lin Hefang called her separately. She was bored at home alone, so she simply treated them as electronic pets to listen to what they thought.
Needless to say, the two of them were trying to find out how much money she had now, saying that she was still young and it would be best for her to give all her earnings to them as her parents to save, and then they would give the money to her when she got married to prevent her from spending money recklessly.
"I earn money to spend, right? I can earn it anyway, so I can earn more after spending it!" Ren Qianshui deliberately teased the two of them.
"Hey, kid, how can you be so short-sighted! You've spent it all now, what will you do in the future? What if you can't earn that much in the future? It's better to save it. As your parents, will we be greedy for your money?"
"Then isn't it the same if I save it myself? Besides, I give you so much money every month, you can save some for me. Didn't our neighbor give her parents the money she earned from working as living expenses? Her parents also saved some for her? Later, when she got married, they gave her all the dowry, and it seemed like she had quite a bit of it!"
After Ren Qianshui said this, the old couple fell silent.
This incident is true and was quite famous at the time. The neighbor's sister was filial, and after she was able to work and earn money, she stopped letting her parents, who were in poor health, go out to work, and gave them 2,000 yuan a month as living expenses.
But the neighbor sister's parents understood how difficult it was for their child, and they took out half of the 2,000 yuan living expenses and deposited them in the bank. This went on for many years. No matter how much the living expenses given by the neighbor sister increased, they only kept half and deposited the rest in the bank. It was not until the neighbor sister got married that the old couple took out the money and gave it to her.
Everyone asked out of curiosity, and then they found out that the amount of money was actually more than 200,000 yuan! This amount of money may not seem like much, but it is a huge sum for their family. You know, the old couple are well-known for their weak health. They have been on medication almost all the time since they were young, and they often borrowed money to get by. Now they can save so much money, which is quite shocking to everyone.
The reason why Ren Qianshui brought up this matter was also to embarrass the old couple and see if they were really that shameless.
Finally, seeing that this plan didn't work, the two began talking about the difficulties of her brothers and sisters, just trying to get some money out of her.
"How could Ren Qianli and Shao Yuanyuan be short of money? I won't talk about Ren Qianli. If he was short of money, I would call their unit and ask their leaders if it was true. They shouldn't exploit people like this, right?"
"And didn't Shao Yuanyuan's husband get promoted to supervisor? She herself is also a team leader. They can't be unable to support their child, right? Otherwise, I'll call her mother-in-law and ask if they gave all their earnings to her, leaving their granddaughter with insufficient food and clothing."
Ren Qianshui's words really touched their sore spots. How could they dare to let her call her boss and mother-in-law? It was not until this moment that they realized that their little daughter was just making fun of them!
Ren Jiadong, who thought his authority as the patriarch was challenged, hung up the phone on the spot. Lin Hefang began to nag at her, saying that she did not fulfill her duties as a daughter and was unfilial by teasing her parents like that.
"I'm not asking you to treat me as fairly as you treated Ren Qianli and Shao Yuanyuan, but I beg you not to say such things again in the future and throw the last bit of your dignity as a parent at my feet for me to trample on."
This was the last sentence Ren Qianshui said to the two of them. After hanging up the phone, she felt strangely that she was not angry or sad as before, but just felt funny.
It turns out that one can feel so relaxed after letting go of unnecessary expectations. This makes Ren Qianshui realize once again that feelings are something that should never be given away casually. As long as I have no feelings for you, I will not be hurt!
Whether it’s family, love, or friendship, it’s all the same!
With this realization, she felt that something seemed to have changed about her, but she didn't care about it. She just calmed down and enjoyed her rare vacation.
Relaxed days always pass quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was the day for the filming of "Hamster Escape". Ren Qianshui, who returned to the crew again, felt that such a life was what he wanted, busy, fulfilling, and meaningful.
However, as a director, Lu Fei looked at the energetic Ren Qianshui and always felt that the other person seemed different from the person he knew before, but he couldn't tell exactly where the difference was. It seemed that no one else felt it except himself.
She is still as dedicated and passionate about her work; she is still respectful and tolerant towards her fellow actors; she is still polite and friendly to the crew members.
Everything seems to be the same, but——
