With global currency devaluation, I'll wear these back and take my whole family flying!

Listening to the mother and daughter bickering, Shen Yingying smiled with satisfaction.

"Sister, I think Aci is right. She and Ali are both able to earn money now, so you don't need to work so hard. In another six months or so, after Xingxing finishes her college entrance exam, you can finally relax and enjoy your retirement."

My sister has never stopped working in her life and has hardly ever lived for herself. As her younger sister, she sees this and feels sorry for her.

Both of her nieces are successful and have lived up to their sister's hard work and dedication over the years. It's time for her to stop and enjoy life.

With her aunt speaking up for her, Shen Ci perked up again and chimed in, "Mom, did you hear that? Auntie and I are on the same page."

After the two talked for a long time, Shen Jingjing did not respond at all.

They all turned their heads to look and found that her eyes were gently closed and her breathing was steady; she had fallen asleep.

Looking at her mother's sleepy eyes, Shen Ci's expression became exceptionally gentle. How long had it been since her mother had been able to sleep so comfortably, both physically and mentally?

Shen Yingying sighed softly and said to Shen Ci, "Your mother has worked so hard all these years, Ci, you must be filial to her in the future."

Shen Ci felt a slight tingling in her nose and nodded gently.

A full spa treatment takes two and a half hours. Afterwards, I felt much lighter and my skin looked brighter than usual.

"Sister, you know what, this is definitely a place for wealthy ladies. The results are so obvious after just one treatment." Shen Yingying looked in the mirror, touching her smooth skin, and smiled at Shen Jingjing, "Look at you, all the yellowing on your face is gone, and your skin is so white and translucent."

Shen Jingjing nodded in agreement, because the effect was indeed visible to the naked eye.

“The best thing about doing projects here is the immediate effect, but if you want to change your skin condition from the root, you have to come back often.” Shen Ci said, looking at her mother and instructing her, “Mom, now that you’ve put money on this card, you two should come here often to relax. Don’t be stingy, the money can’t be refunded.”

Speaking of cards, there were only the three of them in the private room at the moment, and Shen Jingjing couldn't help but say, "Aci, you just got a membership card and you recharged it with 100 yuan. That's too extravagant."

"Not much. Your daughter has money. Besides, if we don't act tough, how will we shut that uncle up?"

Shen Jingjing shook her head helplessly: "It's not easy for you to earn money. It's better to keep it for yourself in case of an emergency. There's no need to argue with that kind of person."

If it weren't for this chance encounter today, she would have almost forgotten that Lin Yongqiang even existed.

Shen Ci knew that her mother was used to being frugal, and spending 100 yuan to top up her card was indeed beyond her usual spending habits, but Shen Ci wanted to change her mother's mindset.

And instead of a gradual change, she wanted to be simple and direct, to get her mother to quickly accept this lifestyle where money wasn't a concern.

Because after Xingxing takes the college entrance exam, she plans to bring her mother to Longcheng, where they will live in a villa and drive a luxury car. With her mother by her side, she should be able to spend money without restraint.

So now, whenever she has the chance, she tries to give her mother a little shock in terms of her consumption habits.

"Mom, don't worry about these things. I'm not a person who doesn't know what's good for me. Isn't the point of making money to spend it? The more you earn, the more you spend. The fact that I can spend money also proves that I earn more."

"Do you think I earned two hundred and then spent one hundred on a beauty salon membership? I'm not stupid!"

Hearing her daughter say this, Shen Jingjing, who originally had no intention of finding out how much her daughter had earned, couldn't help but feel a little curious.

She hesitated for a moment, then asked in a low voice, "Aci, tell Mom the truth, how much money have you actually made?"

Shen Yingying also looked over curiously.

Shen Ci smiled slightly, then asked uncertainly, "Ten thousand?"

She didn't dare say much, but the number "ten thousand" was enough to shock the Shen sisters.

The two were stunned, speechless, as if they had been struck by a pressure point.

Seeing their reactions, Shen Ci thought to herself that it was a good thing she hadn't said anything, otherwise her mother would probably have fainted.

"Ten thousand?" Shen Jingjing felt her scalp tingle and her heart race uncontrollably. Whether it was excitement or some other emotion, the impact left her mind blank, and she couldn't even utter a complete sentence.

Shen Yingying, on the other hand, opened her mouth slightly and tried to move it, but found that she couldn't make a sound at all.

Ten thousand yuan! How can someone earn so much money?

Shen Ci looked at her mother and aunt with a calm smile, not saying anything more, just waiting for the two of them to slowly digest and accept this fact.

After a while, Shen Jingjing gradually calmed down, but tears still welled up uncontrollably.

Seeing this, Shen Ci quickly handed over a tissue: "Look at you, still crying? Aren't you happy that I made money?"

"Mom is only crying because she's happy." Shen Jingjing took the tissue and wiped her tears. She wanted to say something but didn't know what to say. She just held her daughter's hand and kept smiling foolishly.

Seeing this, Shen Ci said, "Now you know why I didn't agree to you continuing to look for work? You worked so hard to earn money to take care of us before, but that was because you had no other choice. Now that I'm earning money, how can I feel comfortable seeing you still working yourself to the bone to serve others for a few cents a month?"

Shen Jingjing nodded in understanding: "Mom understands, Mom knows."

Shen Yingying silently wiped away her tears, feeling both relieved for her sister and envious.

Unexpectedly, the next second Shen Ci looked at her and suddenly said, "Auntie, now that you know my abilities, I'll be frank. After Xingxing gets into Longcheng, I'll bring my mother over. If you and Uncle want to go to Longcheng then, I'll bring you both over. Whether you want to continue running the char siu shop or do some other business, I'm willing to help."

"Oh, you child." Shen Yingying was deeply moved, but said, "My uncle and I are doing very well now. We have many repeat customers in the shop, and business is much better than a few years ago. We don't ask for great wealth and status. As long as you can take good care of your mother, your aunt will not have spoiled you for nothing."

“I can’t just be filial to my mother. If it weren’t for your and my uncle’s help all these years, my mother would have suffered so much more. We’ve seen it all.” Shen Ci held her aunt’s hand and looked at her seriously. “So, Aunt, I have to take care of my younger siblings, and I also have to take care of you and my uncle.”

One sentence brought tears to the already sentimental Shen Yingying's eyes, but she smiled as she said, "Look what you've done to your aunt, all the skincare products she just applied have been washed away by your tears."

Shen Jingjing smiled and said, "Aci is right. Over the years, it's all thanks to you and He Bin. You two have made great contributions to Aci's success today."

Shen Yingying wiped away her tears, took a deep breath, and looked at Shen Ci with eyes full of relief: "Auntie knows you're a good child. We'll talk about this later. Right now, Auntie's mind is completely occupied with 'ten thousand yuan,' and she can't think about anything else."

Shen Ci laughed at her words and nodded with a smile: "Okay, it's not urgent anyway, let's go. I ordered French food today, I'll take you to try something new."
