The Female Lead Decides to Act Wickedly-Chapter 1207 - 453: Stingy Dad Arrives (Part 11)_2

Chapter 1207: Chapter 453: Stingy Dad Arrives (Part 11)_2

"Xiao Yue, has your brother not been giving you pocket money lately?"

This noon, He Yue returned home for lunch as usual.

The meal was still leftovers combined with some viral instant food from who knows which tenant.

He Yue was long used to it, without even the slightest urge to complain.

She ate quietly, when her dad’s inquiry sounded in her ears.

"Huh?"

He Yue paused for a moment, then somewhat reluctantly slowed down her eating speed.

She looked at her dad and slowly shook her head.

Lately, her brother indeed hadn’t given her pocket money.

It’s not like she needed to leech off her brother, it’s just that this was how things had been between them over the years.

Her brother was concerned about her being young and a girl.

Their dad only covered tuition fees; daily expenses were something they as siblings had to figure out.

He Zhuo felt he was the older brother and should take care of his sister.

He had his fair share of hardship without family doting and didn’t want his sister to go through the same.

So, He Zhuo worked part-time jobs, earning money and giving He Yue a little bit each week as pocket money.

It wasn’t a lot, about 20-50 yuan per week.

Mainly it was so He Yue would have some extra money to buy little things girls like or be used for emergencies.

He Yue was also the frugal type.

With her brother feeling sorry for her and giving her pocket money, she’d accept it but couldn’t bring herself to spend it lavishly— 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

After all, this was her brother’s hard-earned money from distributing flyers and delivering packages.

Unless it was necessary, He Yue usually kept the pocket money her brother gave her.

Not much each week, but little by little, it added up.

Over the past two years, He Yue even had a few hundred yuan saved up in her bank account.

In the last two or three weeks, He Zhuo hadn’t sent He Yue any red envelopes.

He Yue was puzzled but felt she couldn’t rightly go and demand an explanation.

Her brother giving her pocket money was an act of kindness.

Her brother not giving it was perfectly normal.

She wasn’t so shameless, and she never felt her brother owed her anything.

She was just worried, "Dad, last time brother said his novel was doing well, and he’d soon start making money!"

"But, but he hasn’t sent me any red envelopes. It’s not that I must have my brother’s money, but, but it’s not normal."

Anxiety filled He Yue’s big eyes, "Dad, is brother in trouble?"

Although the last meeting, her brother didn’t give a good impression.

But He Yue never thought her brother had actually changed inside.

"I don’t know if he’s in trouble, but I secretly checked at S University; your brother is acting very strangely!"

He Tiantian had a gloomy expression, and her tone was very unpleasant.

She glanced at her daughter’s worried appearance and continued, "It’s been almost a month, he hasn’t been working part-time, and he’s going out frequently to treat girls to meals at small restaurants!"

"... The money he saved up is probably all squandered!"

"Huh? No way! Brother isn’t like that!"

He Yue opened her mouth wide in shock, full of disbelief.

Not working and spending money on taking girls out to eat, these actions were unlike the brother she knew.

If it were someone else, He Yue might have guessed:

Perhaps he is dating, and even a frugal person starts knowing how to spend money.

But her brother was different.

Back when her brother just started university, there was already a girl who liked him.

That girl was a rich and beauty one, and although she didn’t flaunt it, her demeanor and unintentional display showed her family was well-off.

Yet He Zhuo did not accept her advances.

He rationally told He Yue, "I have my plans, and in my plan, the four years of college are for learning and accumulating knowledge."

"I won’t date. Even if there’s a girl I like, I’ll pursue her when I’ve achieved a certain standing!"

"Otherwise, that’s not love but irresponsibility!"

Maybe because they had a stingy and seemingly "irresponsible" dad, He Zhuo, as the eldest in the family, was exceptionally responsible.

He was clear-headed, not just about his own situation, and he had very clear plans for the future too.

He Yue trusted her brother’s self-control and rationality.

She firmly believed that even if her brother met a girl he truly liked, he wouldn’t abandon his plans entirely.

Possibly he might spend for her, but he would never stop working to earn more money.

Therefore, not working was even more unimaginable to He Yue than taking a girl out for a meal at a small restaurant.
