“Stop using buttery words! Let me ask you this, can you give my daughter 1,000 yuan a month?” Wang Xu’s father raised his chin slightly and looked at Fang Ya.

When Wang Xu heard that, she looked at her father in surprise. “Dad! What are you talking about!”

Wang Xu’s father glared at her. “It’s none of your business! Don’t interrupt!”

Wang Xu wanted to say something else, but her mother stopped her. “Listen to your father properly!”

Wang Xu was sullen, but she did not know what to do.

Fang Ya knew how Wang Xu was feeling, but she thought about it seriously.

With the current salary level in the city, 1,000 yuan was considered to be in the high-income group.

Although Fang Ya did not really care about paying her 1,000 yuan a month, she could not let Wang Xu’s parents see the benefits just like that.

Fang Ya thought for a while and then said, “I’m giving Wang Xu a salary, not alimony.

“So, she has to work by my side. If I’m satisfied with the results of the work, this salary is not a problem,” Fang Ya said truthfully.

“All hot air!” Wang Xu’s father sneered. “Can you really give her 1,000 yuan a month?”

“Is she worth it?” Wang Xu’s father continued.

Wang Xu revealed a disappointed expression.

Fang Ya was not willing to compromise. “Of course Wang Xu is worth it! Moreover, she deserves more!

“However, at this stage, I haven’t seen the results of the work. This 1,000 yuan is just the starting point,” Fang Ya continued.

“If you two are worried about Wang Xu following me, you can bring her back,” Fang Ya said as she crossed her arms and leaned against the sofa.

“I won’t ask about her life in the future. I don’t care if you find her a job that pays one thousand yuan a month.” Fang Ya’s tone was obviously non-negotiable.

Wang Xu’s parents looked at each other, feeling conflicted.

Looking at the decoration of Fang Ya’s house and Fang Ya’s temperament, she seemed like a rich person.

But could she really give Wang Xu as much money as she said?

Fang Ya’s father had only thought of asking for such a high price in a moment of excitement.

If the other party refused, they could have suffered some losses in the long run.

After all, they had already accepted the other party’s gift money. If the person could not take it back, the gift money would have to be returned!

That was five thousand yuan!

However, if Wang Xu could really earn one thousand yuan a month and save a little, they would be able to become a ten thousand yuan household in a year’s time!

Did they still need to care about that five thousand yuan?

Fang Ya and Wang Xu looked at each other and saw the struggle in her parents’ eyes.

The two of them seemed to hesitate for a long time before Wang Xu’s father spoke again. “Alright, she’ll stay here for now.”

“Give us a thousand yuan first as a deposit!” Wang Xu’s father thought for a moment and felt that it was not worth it, so he spoke again.

When Wang Xu heard this, her eyes widened. “Dad! What are you doing?”

“I have to test whether she really has that ability!” Wang Xu’s father said matter-of-factly.

Wang Xu looked at Fang Ya helplessly and aggrievedly. “Sister Ya, ignore them!”

Fang Ya smiled and said, “You’ve been staying at my place for a while, but you haven’t gone back to see your parents…

“It’s only right to show some respect to your parents!” Fang ya continued, “I’ll give you the money in a while. Bring your parents to buy some new clothes and eat something delicious!”

Fang Ya looked at Wang Xu’s parents with a smile on her face.

The meaning behind her words was very clear. I can give you the money, but this money is for Wang Xu.

Wang Xu can spend this money however she wants. That’s her business!

Give it to you?

No way!

After saying that, Fang Ya did not wait for Wang Xu’s reply. She walked back to her room and took out her wallet.

In front of Wang Xu’s parents, Fang Ya counted a thousand yuan and gave it to Wang Xu. “Keep it well! Take your parents out for a walk!”

“Sister Ya, this…” Wang Xu took the money and was at a loss.

Fang Ya patted Wang Xu’s hand and smiled. “You deserve this! Go!”

After saying that, Fang Ya said goodbye to Wang Xu’s parents and left.

Wang Xu’s parents looked at Fang Ya’s departing figure and then at the wad of money in Wang Xu’s hand. “This… she really has money!”

Wang Xu held the wad of money with mixed feelings.

She took a deep breath and turned to face her parents. “Let’s go! Listen to Sister Ya, let’s go to the mall!”

Wang Xu’s parents shook their heads. “Go to the mall? Keep the money! We still need it in the future!”

Wang Xu looked at her parents helplessly and sighed.

She knew that her parents did not actually love money that much. It was just that they were afraid of being poor, and they also hoped that she could have a good life.

However, Wang Xu could not tolerate the way her parents poked their noses into every aspect of her life.

Wang Xu knew that her parents would never spend money recklessly. She could only accept them for who they were.

She took out two hundred yuan and handed it to her parents. “Take this money back and use it for now. When I earn some money, I’ll buy you something good.”

Wang Xu’s father took the money and clenched his fists.. “Good! Good!”
