Because They're Surnamed Li, and Your Mother-in-Law Is Surnamed Tong

Xia Yue had gone through this same mindset in Li Ye's previous life.

Back then, he had just entered society. Because of something that had happened, he went to relatives to borrow two hundred thousand.

At the time, he thought two or three hundred thousand wasn't "big money." No matter what, he was an outstanding young graduate from a second-tier university, in the prime of his life with a promising future ahead. Wouldn't it only take two or three years to pay off a debt of two hundred thousand?

But his relatives hadn't lent him two hundred thousand. They had only given him ten thousand and said, "Pay it back whenever you have the money."

Li Ye had felt insulted at the time. But after he officially started working and earning money, he realized that those ten thousand from his relatives were worth a lifetime of gratitude.

When you spent money, it went by the ten-thousands; when you saved it, damn it, it went by the hairs!

Only when Li Ye began saving money hair by hair did he understand that money was damn hard to earn.

Many kids like Li Ye had let out helpless sighs.

When I was in school, Mom gave me fifteen hundred every month, but after five years of work, I still couldn't give Mom five hundred a month.

So two hundred thousand really wasn't a small amount. If you had two hundred thousand in savings, you would carry yourself in an entirely different way.

This benchmark actually corresponded to the cruel reality ordinary people had to face.

And eighteen thousand pounds in 1987 was far, far more than two hundred thousand in 2017.

So Wu Juying and Li Zhongfa exchanged a glance, then said, "But we don't have that much foreign currency!"
