After my girlfriend was turned gay, I stole her lover
Chapter 405 Every penny saved counts!
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Dongwen rubbed his temples irritably.
Qin Hongwei's situation was worse than he had imagined. Lu Xiao, this old fox, acted ruthlessly and quickly.
The only hope now is that private equity funds can be launched as soon as possible to reverse the current economic difficulties.
In the villa, Gui Hongyan and Gui Tongyao were looking at the table full of bills with worried looks on their faces.
According to Jiang Dongwen's request, they have to formulate a consumption plan for the whole family to "save money and increase income".
"Xiaoyao, do you think this will work? We will only eat two meals a day, breakfast and dinner. For breakfast, we will have steamed buns and pickled vegetables, and for dinner, we will have boiled vegetables in water. This way, we can save a lot of money."
Gui Hongyan suggested, pointing to the supermarket’s vegetable promotion leaflet.
The corners of Gui Tongyao's mouth twitched. She really couldn't imagine eating steamed buns, pickles and boiled vegetables every day.
"Mom, this is too cruel! We are not beggars. How can we get enough nutrition if we eat this every day?"
"Then what do you say we should do? The situation is special now, so we have to save as much as we can! This is how we got through when we were the poorest in the past." Gui Hongyan glared at her and said.
"Also, Lu Xiao is targeting Xiao Jiang and me now, so we have to tighten our belts!"
Gui Tongyao curled her lips and muttered softly: "I didn't say I didn't save money, it's just that this is too..."
"What do you mean by too much! If Lu Xiao hadn't blocked my husband Awei's bank account, would we have to live such a hard life?"
Gui Hongyan became angrier and angrier as she spoke. She picked up an apple on the table and took a big bite.
"It's all the fault of that unfilial daughter Lu Xiaoru. She gave up her role as a good young lady and insisted on eloping with that poor boy Jiang Dongwen! Now look what happened, she has ruined us all!"
Gui Tongyao sighed helplessly. She knew it was useless to argue with her mother now, so she could only go along with her wishes for the time being.
"Okay, Mom. We'll do as you said, steamed buns and pickles for breakfast, and boiled vegetables for dinner. But can we have an egg for lunch?"
"Why add eggs? Eggs are expensive too!" Gui Hongyan refused. "No, absolutely not! We have to be thrifty now and can't waste anything!"
After some intense "bargaining", the final solution was.
Have steamed buns and pickles for breakfast, white rice with a small amount of vegetables for lunch, and boiled vegetables in water for dinner.
In addition, the air conditioning in the villa can only be turned on during specific time periods, and everyone's bathing time must be strictly controlled to minimize unnecessary expenses.
After making a plan, Gui Hongyan and Gui Tongyao took the plan to Jiang Dongwen's study.
"Xiao Jiang, we have already worked out a plan to save energy and open up the river. Take a look."
Gui Hongyan handed the document to Jiang Dongwen with a very proud look on her face.
Jiang Dongwen took the document and quickly glanced through it.
He raised his head, looked at Gui Hongyan and Gui Tongyao, and asked incredulously: "Are you sure this is a plan to save energy and open up the flow, and not a plan for us to collectively 'cultivate immortals'?"
"What's wrong? Is there any problem?"
Gui Hongyan asked in confusion.
Jiang Dongwen pointed at the document and said, "Aunt Gui, although the current situation is special, we don't have to eat boiled vegetables every day, right? This is too harsh!"
Gui Tongyao echoed quietly, "That's right, Mom, this is too..."
"Shut up!" Gui Hongyan glared at her, then turned to Jiang Dongwen to explain.
"Xiao Jiang, I know this seems a bit harsh, but the situation is special now, and we must be frugal! Think about it, Lu Xiao is targeting us everywhere now, and our financial situation is getting worse every day. If we don't increase income and reduce expenditure as soon as possible, we will sooner or later run out of money!"
Jiang Dongwen sighed. He understood Gui Hongyan’s concerns, but this plan was indeed too extreme.
"Aunt Gui, I know what you mean, but we can't sacrifice our health to save money. If we continue like this, we will collapse before Lu Xiao can defeat us."
"Then what do you say we should do?" Gui Hongyan was a little annoyed. "You don't agree with my plan, and you don't want to pay. Do you want us to starve?"
Jiang Dongwen thought about it and suggested: "We can lower our living standards appropriately, but not too extreme. For example, we can reduce the number of times we eat out and cook our own meals at home. We can reduce the expenditure on luxury goods, but we cannot fail to guarantee basic nutrition."
Gui Hongyan was silent.
She knew that what Jiang Dongwen said made sense, and that he wanted everyone to go from a life of luxury to a simple life all at once.
I guess these young ladies and young masters will find it hard to accept.
Jiang Dongwen saw their hesitation and said with a smile: "How about this, let's try it for a week and see how it works. If the effect is not good, we will adjust the plan."
Just as they were discussing heatedly, the doorbell of the villa suddenly rang.
Jiang Dongwen got up and opened the door, and a man in a black suit was standing outside.
A man wearing sunglasses. He is tall and carrying a black suitcase.
"Excuse me, are you Mr. Jiang Dongwen?"
The man asked in a low voice.
Jiang Dongwen nodded cautiously: "Who are you?"
The man took off his sunglasses, revealing a pair of sharp eyes.
"I'm Lu Xiao's mortal enemy. I'm the person sent by Fan Yonggui. You can just call me Lao Yu."
Jiang Dongwen was stunned for a moment. Are they the subordinates of Lu Xiao’s mortal enemy Fan Yonggui?
How did he know he lived here?
"Fan Yonggui sent you? What's the matter?"
"Brother Fan, I came here this time to discuss a cooperation with you."
"cooperate?"
Jiang Dongwen was even more confused.
"Fan Yonggui and I have never met before, and we have a grudge against each other because of Qin Ming. What is there to cooperate with?"
Lao Yu placed the suitcase on the ground and opened it gently. Inside were several stacks of brand new banknotes and a pistol that was shining coldly.
"Lu Xiao is our common enemy. I know you've been in a lot of trouble because of him recently. Brother Fan said he can help you solve this problem."
Jiang Dongwen's heart skipped a beat. He didn't expect Fan Yonggui to be so direct.
Although he resented Lu Xiao's sanctions, he just wanted to get Lu Xiaoru back.
And if Fan Yonggui asked to kill Lu Xiao.
Then there will be no chance for me to return home.
Jiang Dongwen tried hard to keep himself calm.
"What do you mean by that? I don't understand."
Old Yu laughed.
"Mr. Jiang, you don't have to play dumb. I know you hate Lu Xiao to the core, and so do I. He stole our business and caused me to suffer heavy losses. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Let's join forces and take him down!"
"Your suggestion is a good one. Unfortunately, I won't cooperate with drug dealers."
Lao Yu took out the pistol from his arms and pointed it at Jiang Dongwen's head.
"If you don't promise me, the only ending will be death!"
