Chapter 209 Midlife Crisis

A few days later, when Zhou Yu came home from school, he saw Fangyuan sitting on the sofa, biting her fingers and holding her mobile phone, looking at something with a troubled look on her face. She didn't even notice that she opened the door to go home.

Dong Wenjie, who was busy in the kitchen, noticed Zhou Yu, and when he saw Zhou Yu passing by the kitchen, he quickly said: "You are hungry, the meal will be ready soon, you should take a rest first."

Zhou Yu nodded and pointed outside: "There seems to be something wrong with my uncle?"

Tong Wenjie paused for a moment and looked at Zhou Yu in confusion: "Something's wrong, why is something wrong?"

Zhou Yu groaned: "Maybe the job is gone? Anyway, I think he looks quite anxious."

"Ah!?" Tong Wenjie quickly turned off the fire and walked out of the kitchen in a hurry. Zhou Yu put his schoolbag back in the bedroom and walked out.

As soon as they arrived in the living room, they saw Fang Yuan with his head lowered and Dong Wenjie who was a little depressed.

Zhou Yu poured himself a glass of water calmly, then found a place to sit down and looked at the two of them, while also letting them focus on him.

"Tell me what's going on."

Fangyuan buckled down: "Xiao Yu'er, how did you know that I lost my job?"

"Guess." Zhou Yu took a sip of water and said calmly: "When I come back one day, you are not happily watching TV. I came back today and saw you biting your fingernails. There is a high probability that you will be biting your fingernails when you reach middle age.

I’m so anxious just because my job is gone.”

"You are so amazing." Fangyuan was a little depressed, but she still showed a very relaxed look and gave Zhou Yu a thumbs up: "It's really amazing. It's just a job. How can I go out to look for a job in this situation?

Isn’t it easy?”

"You know how to talk big, how old are you now, how can you compete with those young people?" Tong Wenjie scolded Fangyuan, and then said reproachfully: "Why don't you tell us about such a big matter?"

Fangyuan said quickly: "It's useless to say it. I just wanted to wait until I find a job before I tell you."

Zhou Yu looked at Fangyuan: "Auntie is right. Uncle, it's hard to find a job in your current situation. As for Auntie, your position has been transferred, right?"

Tong Wenjie looked at Zhou Yu and nodded helplessly: "Xiao Yu'er, how come you know everything? I never said anything about this."

"One job is transferred and another job is lost. Is this the so-called mid-life crisis?" Zhou Yu smiled softly and said: "This will definitely affect the family's income, right? Why do you want to hide it and prepare for it?

Tian really couldn't come up with the money so he was ready to tell me whether it was okay or not. I said from the beginning that I was also a member of this family and I should naturally make a contribution to the family."

"Money is the smallest thing for me. What can my uncle do at this age? Drive a ride-hailing service or deliver food. Uncle, don't you particularly like flowers, birds, fish, crickets and the like?

, do you think you can make money if you open a store?"

Fangyuan touched her chin thoughtfully: "It seems like it would be good to open a shop. It's hard to say whether it will make money or not. It should be interesting to earn some living expenses without making a lot of money. Wenjie, why don't you just take some money and let me open a shop?"

It not only satisfies my hobbies but can also make money. Not bad, Xiaoyuer, your opinion is very important."

Tong Wenjie rolled her eyes: "If you still take money, how can your family still have money? Do you have to pay back the mortgage? Do you need to spend money to make up for the children's schooling?"

[To be honest, I have been using the Huanyuan app recently to read and catch up on updates. It allows me to switch between sources and read aloud with many sounds. .huanyuanapp is available for Android and Apple.]

Zhou Yu said: "I'll provide the money. Uncle, I don't expect you to make any money. Just like you said, it's just a matter of earning some living expenses. You have to find something to do, otherwise everyone will be ruined."

The two of them looked at Zhou Yu at the same time, and Tong Wenjie said in astonishment: "Xiao Yu'er, how much money have you earned recently!?"

"Maybe a few hundred thousand." Zhou Yu said slowly: "It's not exactly the money I make from drawing. In fact, there are quite a lot of opportunities to make money now. I don't know if this money is enough. The situation at home has to be

Let my uncle find something to do, and our family won't care so much."

"No, no, no." Fang Yuan shook his head quickly: "Keep your money yourself, how can my uncle use your money?"

Zhou Yu waved his hand: "I can spend this time to earn this money, and I will definitely be able to earn more money in the future. If you want to open a store, your home will be better. If your home has a good atmosphere, I can do it here too."

Be more comfortable. You have arranged everything I eat and drink every day. Now is not the time to be polite. As far as I know, the monthly fixed expenses at home are around 40,000 yuan."

"The mortgage is a large amount of money. If you have no income and my aunt is in this situation now, what else can you do? Do you want to sell this house? Don't be ridiculous. Even if you sell the house, you will be sitting on nothing.

"

"Let me tell you, Fan Fanyi will spend more money to take the exam. It's still unclear when he will make money. We are a family. I have the ability to make money now. I will take care of the majority of the family expenses."

Just be responsible, and we will talk about compensation when the situation at home gets better later."

"What do you think? Is it borrowed or is it better for me to honor you two elders as a member of this family? I always think that money is enough, and don't think it's bad. I don't think there's anything wrong with it.

At worst, you can just wait until the situation at home stabilizes and then pay me back the money slowly."

Tong Wenjie said: "That little Yu'er, how can this aunt and uncle be so embarrassed to use your money?"

"That's it." Zhou Yu waved his hand and said: "Do as I say, and I will give my family fifty thousand yuan every month from now on. Auntie, please help me give fifteen thousand yuan there, and the rest will be used as my living expenses. In fact,

I'm a bit picky about food. Auntie, just make more delicious food. Uncle, go check out the store first and follow if you find something suitable."

"Also, since you have been fired, the severance package cannot be reduced at all. I don't know how the others are doing. Uncle, I will go to the company with you tomorrow."

Tong Wenjie and Fangyuan looked at each other, a little confused about what was going on in this family. Why did they feel that the elder was Zhou Yu and they were the juniors.

However, when Tong Wenjie thought about her current position and salary, and thought about Fangyuan being fired and having no income, she felt worried. She sighed and said to Zhou Yu: "Xiao Yu'er, there is no need to pay for living expenses. I won't go into detail about the situation at home. You can pay me."

Just think of the money as being lent to you by my aunt and uncle, and I will pay it back to you when things get better in the future, otherwise my aunt will never want your money."

"It's up to you." Zhou Yu took a sip of water nonchalantly and said, "But I'll pay the rent as agreed before. Also, it's almost time to clean up the house. We'll move there over the weekend. My aunt will help me take a leave tomorrow.

, my uncle and I went to the company to buy some things."
