Chapter 188: Chapter 188: Jiang Fan’s Astonishment

"What do you need money for?"

"What about the allowance Mommy usually gives you?"

Yin Ruxue was a little surprised, as she gave Mengmeng an allowance regularly.

Especially when she used to be busy, she would give her even more.

"I was just eating with the other kids over there, and when we were talking, I found out that a lot of them have never been to an amusement park."

"They’ve never even seen what one looks like."

"I want to take them."

Mengmeng’s voice grew quieter as she spoke, her confidence dwindling until she didn’t even dare to look at Jiang Fan and Yin Ruxue.

She knew this might be an unreasonable request because taking so many kids to an amusement park would cost a lot of money.

But in that moment, she just wanted to do something for them.

"But Mengmeng, do you know that it costs a lot of money to go to an amusement park? Have you really thought this through?"

Yin Ruxue remained silent as Jiang Fan pulled Mengmeng into his arms and asked her softly.

"Daddy, I’ve been thinking about it for a long time. I was thinking about it while we were eating."

Mengmeng looked up at Jiang Fan’s eyes, her little face full of determination.

"Shouldn’t you ask for your mommy’s opinion?"

Jiang Fan smiled gently and stroked her little cheeks with both hands.

Mengmeng turned to look at Yin Ruxue and thought for a moment before standing up from Jiang Fan’s lap.

"Mommy..."

"Mommy can agree to that."

She pulled her daughter into her arms, laying her across her lap.

"But Daddy and I work hard for our money. If you really want to take the other kids, then you have to use your own allowance."

"You have to think carefully about anything you do and whether you can bear the consequences."

"Daddy and I will give you time to think. You can give me an answer after you’ve thought it through."

After speaking, Yin Ruxue glanced at Jiang Fan.

"Is that okay?"

He nodded. Yin Ruxue’s way of handling things with their child had really changed a lot.

"But Mommy, Daddy, I don’t have enough allowance right now."

Mengmeng counted on her fingers, trying to calculate her allowance.

"Think carefully."

Hearing Yin Ruxue’s words, a look of conflict appeared in Mengmeng’s eyes.

Sitting to the side, Jiang Fan watched the two of them, a little puzzled.

However, he didn’t speak up right away, finding it amusing to watch the mother and daughter as if they were speaking in riddles.

"Okay then, Mommy, I agree to everything."

"If it’s not enough, you can lend it to me... no, I’ll take an advance on my allowance."

Jiang Fan could actually hear a hint of a whimper in her voice.

"Okay."

Yin Ruxue nodded in agreement.

"You have a total of 11,200 yuan of allowance saved up with me."

"If we add your New Year’s money that you haven’t used up yet..."

"The total is 11,800."

"When the time comes, we’ll take the children to the amusement park, and I’ll cover whatever amount you’re short."

"All of that money will be deducted from your future allowance."

"As for how much is spent and how it’s spent, you don’t need to worry about that."

"Is that acceptable?"

Mengmeng nodded immediately after Yin Ruxue finished asking.

"Alright, you can go tell the other kids the good news now."

Ignoring Jiang Fan’s shocked expression, Mengmeng suddenly gave Yin Ruxue a kiss and ran off.

"What’s wrong? You look like you’ve seen a ghost."

Yin Ruxue had noticed his change in mood just now.

"I can’t believe a little girl has that much in savings."

"All that allowance and New Year’s money... I feel like a total failure in comparison."

He thought back to how hard he used to work, delivering food and packages, doing all kinds of dirty and exhausting jobs, yet his savings had never surpassed 200 yuan.

"Oh, stop. How can you even think that?"

"That’s all money I gave her, or New Year’s money from my friends."

"You earned your money bit by bit. How can her situation even compare to yours?"

"But what do you think of Mengmeng’s proposal?"

The two of them didn’t dwell on the matter; Jiang Fan had only been sighing with emotion.

Hearing her ask, Jiang Fan said he had no problem with it.

"Actually, I think it’s great. It’s a good thing for her to have this kind of compassion and love."

"Besides, she has the guts to make a call like this. When she grows up, she’ll definitely be every bit as capable as you."

"The only drawback now is, what amusement park would be able to accept so many children at once?"

As far as Jiang Fan was concerned, this was a completely good thing.

But since they had agreed, they had to do their best to make it happen. They definitely couldn’t let the children down.

Moreover, he felt a little ashamed that Mengmeng could think of this when he had completely overlooked it before.

When he was a child, if someone had offered to take him to an amusement park, he would have been happy for a very, very long time.

After all, back then, it was an unattainable dream, a place only kids with parents could be taken to.

"I have a friend who owns an amusement park. I’ll call and ask him."

"Also, I’m heading out for a bit. Keep a close eye on Mengmeng."

"Okay."

Jiang Fan didn’t ask her anything else. Yin Ruxue was gone for just over half an hour before she returned.

The first thing she said when she saw him was, "It’s all sorted."

"That fast?"

Jiang Fan was a little surprised.

"I do business with this friend, so he agreed immediately when I mentioned it. He also told us there’s no time like the present, so he’s closing the park starting now."

"Then they’ll start clearing out the other guests so we can bring the children straight over."

He hadn’t expected Yin Ruxue to have that much pull.

’Isn’t this the same as booking out the whole place?’

"By the way, where did the director go? There’s something I need to talk to her about."
