Meng Dabao has been almost half a year and hasn't seen his two friends.

After meeting this time and agreeing to eat, he immediately put his hand into the pocket of his clothes and touched it.

He brought money today, and he wants to invite his friends to dinner!

He wants to let his friends know that he really made money by working in the factory.

Perhaps only in this way can he calm down his inferiority complex.

…

More than ten minutes later, the three of them sat down in a small restaurant near the factory.

Gu Qingning ordered two of his favorite dishes, and then handed the menu to Meng Dabao.

As for her cousin Lan Juncheng, he is half a year younger and ranks third.

Meng Dabao ordered a meat dish, Lan Juncheng ordered a dish and a soup, and the three of them together just happened to be four dishes and one soup, which was enough to eat.

Of the four dishes, none of them were vegan, and the soup was rice wine egg drop soup.

Meng Dabao silently calculated in his heart, these dishes together, it is estimated that it will cost fifty or sixty yuan.

Although this is affordable for him, it is not less.

But because he was eating with his friends, he was willing to spend money.

Meng Dabao thought so, but neither Gu Qingning nor Lan Juncheng thought about letting Meng Dabao spend money.

After the three of them finished eating, Gu Qingning walked directly to the front desk of the hotel and paid the bill.

Seeing this, Meng Dabao immediately walked over and took out the money in his pocket.

"Qingning, I'm at work, you guys are still going to school, I'll settle the bill."

Meng Dabao's reason is definitely not polite, he is sincere.

Seeing this, Gu Qingning could see Dabao's mood of wanting to settle the bill, and she also knew that Dabao wanted to show that he was working to earn money.

Gu Qingning hesitated for a moment, then nodded and took half a step back.

It's not that she doesn't want to settle the bill, but in her opinion, the money they spent on this meal is indeed not very much, and she knows that she will make Dabao feel happy by giving this checkout opportunity to Dabao.

That's why Gu Qingning fulfilled the heart of his little partner.

Here, Meng Dabao took the money in his pocket and counted it, in a stack of banknotes, the largest denomination was ten yuan, and the other five, two, and one were available.

The owner of the restaurant calculated that the four dishes and one soup were a total of fifty-two yuan.

Meng Dabao counted out the money and handed it to the boss.

At this time, at the door of the hotel, a figure suddenly rushed in-

Followed by a scolding voice!

"Dabao, my Dabao! How can you just spend money on someone else? ”

Lan Xinya said, she had already snatched the money that Meng Dabao immediately handed over to the hotel owner!

When Meng Dabao saw the middle-aged woman in front of him who was fat and familiar with her facial features, and heard the other party's words, he recognized that this person was actually his own mother!

Meng Dabao hasn't seen his own mother for more than two years.

He has a vague memory of this mother, and when he was growing up, although he had met his mother a few times, he didn't feel good every time he met.

In the past, his mother always let him alienate Aunt Sun Yuan and say bad things about Aunt Sun Yuan.

And now, he was about to settle the bill, but his own mother robbed him of the money, and his real mother said that he was asking him to invite a friend to dinner.

He wanted to ask, why couldn't he invite his friends to dinner?

On the side, Gu Qingning and Lan Juncheng saw the woman who suddenly appeared and robbed Meng Dabao of money, Lan Juncheng was just surprised, and Gu Qingning had already recognized who the other party was.

Although Gu Qingning hadn't seen Lan Xinya many times, she remembered the appearance of this woman.

She knew that this woman was Meng Dabao's mother!

Gu Qingning heard that the reason why Dabao was a little fool was because his mother took him to shoot paint advertisements when he was very young, which made Meng Dabao allergic to paint poisoning, hospitalized with high fever, and burned out his brain.

These words were not shared by her family, but by the chatter of other neighbors in the compound when she was a child when she lived at her great-grandfather's house.

Gu Qingning is not stupid, she has a good memory~!

So even though she was only four or five years old when she heard these things, she still hasn't forgotten it.

On the other side, Lan Xinya was stunned when she saw her appearance, and she immediately said, "Dabao, if you have money, you have to collect it, but you can't spend it on others, even if you have to spend money, you should give it to your own mother!" ”

Lan Xinya's words are of course.

"You give me the money back!" Meng Dabao didn't think so.

He was so angry that he was about to take the money back—

But Lan Xinya moved faster and stuffed the money directly into her pocket.

"Dabao, you've been working for almost two years, you should be rich, right? Mom came this time to use your money. ”

During this time, Lan Xinya has spent a lot of money on the treatment of breast cancer.

The thousands of yuan she has saved in business in the past few years have long been spent, and the money she has recently spent on medicine is all clothes sold in the store, and the money she earned is directly taken by her.

Seeing that there were fewer and fewer clothes in the store, she didn't even have enough money on hand to buy them next.

So in desperation, Lan Xinya came to the factory where her son worked, wanting to see if she could see her son and get some money with her son to use it first.

Lan Xinya definitely didn't want to loot her son's money, she just wanted to save her life.

If her illness can be cured, she can continue to open a store to make money, and then give the money to her son.

But Meng Dabao didn't know this.

Hearing Lan Xinya's words, Meng Dabao was stunned.

The reason why his own mother didn't let him invite his friends to dinner was just to let him give her the money?

Meng Dabao had never thought that his salary at work would be given to others.

At home, Dad and Aunt Sun, as well as grandparents, never asked him for a penny.

He collects all his money by himself, and he has absolute control over it.

So at this time, his mother's behavior of asking him for money made Meng Dabao's first reaction in his heart to refuse!

"No, I won't give you the money!" Meng Dabao's attitude was resolute.

Gu Qingning and Lan Juncheng on the side heard Lan Xinya's intention and Dabao's refusal, the two first looked at Lan Xinya in disbelief, and then breathed a sigh of relief for Dabao.

They are really worried that the money that Meng Dabao has earned from his hard work will be taken away by his own mother!

But fortunately, although the little fool is stupid, he is not stupid~!

Lan Xinya listened to her son's refusal and was about to say something, but Gu Qingning didn't give her a chance to speak.

"Dabao is only sixteen years old this year, he entered the factory at the age of fourteen to work, and he worked hard to earn some money, you have hands and feet to work, how can you be embarrassed to ask Dabao for money?"

Gu Qingning has always had a desire to defend Meng Dabao.

She was like this when she was a child, in kindergarten, whoever bullied the little fool, she would rush up and protect her little friends.

Perhaps it was Gu Qingning's attitude that made Meng Dabao suddenly think of what happened when he was a child, and Meng Dabao's panic in his heart about being asked for money by his mother slowly calmed down.

Qing Ning was there, and he felt a sense of security.
