Chapter 511 Asking for money

  Meng Dabao has not seen his two friends for almost half a year.

  Meeting this time, after agreeing to have a meal, he immediately put his hand into his pocket and touched it.

  He brought money today, and he wants to treat his friends to dinner!

  He wants to let his friends know that he really made money when he entered the factory to work.

  Perhaps this is the only way to calm down his low self-esteem.

  …

   After more than ten minutes, the three sat down in a small restaurant near the factory.

  Gu Qingning ordered two of her favorite dishes, and then handed the menu to Meng Dabao.

  As for her cousin Lan Juncheng, he is half a year younger and ranked third.

  Meng Dabao ordered a meat dish, and Lan Juncheng ordered one dish and one soup. The three of them added up to four dishes and one soup, which was enough.

  Among the four dishes, none is vegan, and the soup is rice wine egg drop soup.

  Meng Dabao calculated silently in his heart, and it is estimated that the sum of these dishes will cost fifty or sixty yuan.

   Although this is affordable for him, it is not too little.

  But because he was eating with his friends, he was willing to spend money.

  Meng Dabao thought so, but neither Gu Qingning nor Lan Juncheng thought about making Meng Dabao spend money.

   After the three of them finished their meal, Gu Qingning walked directly to the front desk of the hotel, and was about to pay the bill.

   Seeing this, Meng Dabao immediately walked over and took out the money in his pocket.

   "Qingning, I am at work, and you are still in school. I will pay the bill."

  Meng Dabao's reason is definitely not polite, he is sincere.

   Seeing this, Gu Qingning could see that Dabao wanted to pay the bill, and she also knew that Dabao wanted to show that he was working to earn money.

  Gu Qingning hesitated for a moment, then nodded, and took half a step back.

   It wasn't that she didn't want to pay the bill, but that in her opinion, they didn't spend a lot of money on this meal, and she knew that Dabao would be happy if she gave up the opportunity to pay the bill.

  That's why Gu Qingning fulfilled his friend's wish.

  Here, Meng Dabao took the money in his pocket and counted it in his hands. In a stack of banknotes, the largest denomination was ten yuan, and there were other five yuan, two yuan, and one yuan.

  The restaurant owner settled the accounts, and the four dishes and one soup cost a total of fifty-two yuan.

  Meng Dabao counted out the money and handed it to the boss.

  At this moment, at the entrance of the hotel, a figure suddenly rushed in—

   Immediately afterwards, there was a voice of cursing!

   "Dabao, my Dabao! How can you just spend money on others?"

   As Lan Xinya said, she had already snatched the money that Meng Dabao handed over to the restaurant owner with quick eyesight and quick hands!

  Meng Dabao saw an obese middle-aged woman with familiar facial features in front of him, and after hearing what she said, he realized that this person turned out to be his own mother!

  Meng Dabao hasn't seen his own mother for more than two years.

  His memory of this biological mother is very vague. Although he met his biological mother several times during his growing up, he didn't feel very good every time he met.

   In the past, his own mother always told him to alienate Aunt Sun Yuan and speak ill of Aunt Sun Yuan.

   And now, he was about to pay the bill, but his mother took the money away, and his mother still said that he asked him to invite friends to dinner.

  He wanted to ask, why can't he invite his friends to dinner?

   Aside, when Gu Qingning and Lan Juncheng saw the woman who suddenly appeared and robbed Meng Dabao's money, Lan Juncheng was just surprised, but Gu Qingning had already recognized who she was.

  Although Gu Qingning didn't meet Lan Xinya many times, she remembered this woman's appearance.

  She knew that this woman was Meng Dabao's real mother!

  Gu Qingning heard that the reason why Dabao is a little fool is because his mother took him to shoot paint commercials when he was very young, which made Meng Dabao poisoned and allergic to paint, and was hospitalized with a high fever, which burned his brain out.

  These words were not spoken to her by her family members, but she heard them chatting with other neighbors in the compound when she lived in her great-grandfather’s house when she was a child.

  Gu Qingning is not stupid, she has a good memory~!

  So even though she was only four or five years old when she heard these things, she has not forgotten them until now.

On the opposite side, Lan Xinya stunned her son when she saw her appearance, she immediately said, "Dabao, if you have money, you have to keep it well, and you can't spend it on others, even if you need to spend money, you should spend it for your mother! "

   Lan Xinya's words are taken for granted.

   "Give me back the money!" Meng Dabao didn't think so.

  He was very angry and wanted to take the money back—

   But Lan Xinya moved faster and stuffed the money into her pocket.

   "Dabao, you have been working for almost two years. You should be rich, right? Mom is here this time to use your money."

  During this time, Lan Xinya had already spent a lot of money on breast cancer treatment.

  The thousands of dollars she saved from doing business in the past few years have long been spent. Recently, the money she spent on medicine was all clothes sold in the store, and the money she earned was directly taken away by her.

  Seeing that there are fewer and fewer clothes in the store, she doesn't even have enough money on hand for the next purchase.

  So in desperation, Lan Xinya came to the factory where her son worked, and wanted to see if she could see her son, so she could get some money from her son and use it first.

   Lan Xinya definitely didn't want to steal her son's money, she just wanted to save her life.

  If her illness can be cured, she can continue to open a shop to make money, and then give the money to her son.

  But Meng Dabao didn't know this.

  Hearing Lan Xinya's words, Meng Dabao was stunned.

  The reason why his mother didn't let him invite friends to dinner was to let him give her the money?

  Meng Dabao never thought of giving his wages to others before.

  At home, Dad, Aunt Sun, and grandparents never asked him for a penny.

  His money is collected by himself, and he has absolute control over it.

  So when his mother asked him for money, Meng Dabao's first reaction was to refuse!

   "No, I won't give you the money!" Meng Dabao's attitude was firm.

   Gu Qingning and Lan Juncheng on the side heard Lan Xinya's intention to come and Dabao's refusal. They first looked at Lan Xinya in disbelief, and then breathed a sigh of relief for Dabao.

  They were really worried that Meng Dabao's mother would take away the money he earned from his hard work!

   But fortunately, although the little fool is stupid, he is not completely stupid~!

  Lan Xinya listened to her son's refusal, and was about to say something, but Gu Qingning didn't give her a chance to speak.

   "Dabao is only sixteen years old this year. He entered the factory at the age of fourteen and worked hard to earn some money. You have hands and feet and can work. How dare you ask Dabao for money?"

  Gu Qingning has always been protective of Meng Dabao.

  She was like this when she was a child. In the kindergarten, whoever bullied a little fool, she would rush forward to protect her little friend.

   Perhaps it was Gu Qingning's protective attitude that made Meng Dabao suddenly think of what happened when he was a child. Meng Dabao gradually calmed down from the panic of being asked for money by his mother.

  With Qingning around, he felt safe.
