Huanhuan answered happily: "Grandpa, I'm not tired. Sister Xiaoqin is so nice, better than any teacher in the class. I like her very much."
Zhou Chen explained: "Xiaoqin is Chen Xiaoqin, the tutor we hired."
Tian Yulan said in surprise: "One-on-one tutoring, and door-to-door service, the price must be high, right?"
Nan Li replied: "Three hundred per hour, two hours per day."
Tian Yulan was even more shocked when she heard this: "Three hundred and one hour, two hours a day, that would be nearly twenty thousand a month? Are you crazy?"
Although she also cared about her son's studies, she did not spend 20,000 yuan a month, and was far from even half of that.
Nan Jianlong was also shocked. The tutoring fee of nearly 20,000 yuan a month was definitely a huge expense for his daughter and son-in-law. They could afford it, but it would definitely greatly reduce their quality of life.
Nan Li: "It's not that exaggerated. I don't go online every day. Sometimes I don't go online because I have something to do. More than 10,000 is enough."
"More than ten thousand."
Hearing Nan Li say this number calmly, Tian Yulan was shocked. You know, her salary is just over 10,000 yuan, and Yan Peng's is even lower than hers. The two of them together only make about 20,000 yuan.
But the cost of hiring a tutor for Huanhuan was equivalent to most of their income, which made her feel unbalanced.
Then, her tone changed slightly.
"We spent so much money on a tutor, so it should have a big effect. But why is Huanhuan's test score only average this time?"
When Zhou Chen heard this, his eyebrows raised. Could this be related to Huanhuan's grades?
Yan Peng was also anxious. This woman, he had just promised Zhou Chen yesterday, and they hadn't even had the meal yet, why was she starting to provoke him again?
So he blinked hard at Tian Yu Lan, asking her to pay attention and stop talking, but Tian Yu Lan acted as if she didn't see anything and continued talking.
"You have to be careful, some tutors are not good enough, don't waste your money."
Well, this time Nan Li couldn’t help it anymore.
"We are not stupid. Whether we have the ability or not depends on our results. Progress must be made step by step. We can't see anything in a short period of time. Besides, even if we spent money in vain, so what? We earned the money ourselves, and we have the final say on how to spend it. Just think of it as a lesson learned and a lesson learned."
When Tian Yulan heard this, she felt even more uncomfortable. She always felt that there was something else behind Nan Li's words.
What do you mean by earning it yourself? Isn't my money earned by myself? That's right, most of their family expenses were supported by Yan Peng's parents.
Thinking of this, Tian Yulan felt even more upset. She had worked hard for so many years just to prove that she was no worse than Nan Li, so she could be compared to anyone, but she must never let herself be compared to Nan Li.
Since I can’t compete with you, then compete with the children.
"Based on my many years of experience, tutoring is a very complicated business. You should be careful not to be cheated. If you spend so much money and hire a liar, it will be a big loss. You should hire a teacher you know, who is reliable and knows you well, like Teacher Zhong."
The only implication was that Zhou Chen and Nan Li were not as experienced as her and were not good at judging people.
But Nan Li didn't indulge her at all and responded in a flat tone.
"What you said makes sense, but it's absolutely impossible that she's a liar, because this teacher Chen Xiaoqin was introduced to us by Zhong Yi. Oh, I forgot to mention that Zhong Yi is Junshan's junior, and Chen Xiaoqin, the three of them are from the same county, and Chen Xiaoqin was the top scorer in the college entrance examination in their county."
This wave of pretending was done in one go, and even Zhou Chen secretly gave her a thumbs up, wife, you’re awesome.
Tian Yulan's face turned dark instantly, she was so embarrassed that she couldn't utter a word. It turned out that Zhong Yi, whom she had just praised for a long time, actually had this kind of relationship with Xia Junshan?
Seeing that his wife was speechless due to the criticism, Yan Peng quickly changed the subject.
"Mom has served the food, let's go and eat, eat."
Nan Jianlong also heard the sound of swords and immediately agreed, "Yes, let's eat. We cooked a lot of dishes today, all of which the children like."
"Huanhuan, Chaochao, and Ziyou, let's go and have dinner with grandpa."

Chapter 26: Furious Tian Yulan
During the meal, Tian Yulan had a gloomy face and didn't say a word, but except for her, everyone else was talking and laughing.
Nan Jianlong was really happy today. It was rare for him to have a peaceful family dinner after so many years. Although it was not perfect because Tian Yulan kept silent, for him, it was already very good.
Under the dinner table, Zhou Chen secretly nudged Nan Li and gave her a thumbs up, to which Nan Li responded with a smug smile.
Today's battle can be said to be a great victory. Although she has not been at a disadvantage in previous confrontations, a big victory like today's is unprecedented.
For this reason, Nan Li was in a particularly happy mood. She didn't even care when she saw Cai Juying wearing the cheongsam that her mother used to wear. Instead, she smiled at Cai Juying, making Cai Juying smile and be extremely happy.
Looking at everyone at the table eating and laughing, Tian Yulan felt even more uncomfortable, especially when she saw Yan Peng constantly clinking glasses with Zhou Chen, she became even more angry.
Your wife was bullied, and you were still drinking happily... Tian Yulan was getting angrier the more she thought about it.
After dinner, because Huanhuan had to go to tutoring, Zhou Chen and his family did not stay long and left immediately.
Their family went back happily, but Tian Yulan's family was not in such a good mood.
After making arrangements for her son, Tian Yulan forcibly pulled Yan Peng, who was playing games, into the room.
"What's the matter, honey? I'm playing games."
Yan Peng had a few drinks today and was in a good mood. He was playing a game with his friends, so he was naturally a little unhappy that Tian Yulan had forced him to come over.
"Playing games, playing games. All you do all day is play games. Your wife has been bullied to death, and you are still playing games."
She wanted to wait for Yan Peng to comfort her, but when she saw Yan Peng still talking about his game, Tian Yulan couldn't hold it in any longer and shouted loudly with tears streaming down her face.
Yan Peng was startled and quickly comforted her: "What's wrong, wife? Who bullied you? I'll go and deal with him."
"you?"
Tian Yulan shed tears: "Nan Li bullied me, do you dare to deal with her?"
When Yan Peng heard this, he stopped talking immediately. Of course he knew what Tian Yulan meant, but he really didn't know what to say. The two sisters had fought so many times, and Xia Junshan didn't say anything. How could he help Tian Yulan to confront Nan Li?
"Wife, there's no need, it's really not necessary. Isn't it just that Zhong Yi is Xia Junshan's fellow student from the same hometown? I didn't know it before, but it's not too late to know it now. Moreover, with this relationship, Xia Junshan can ask Zhong Yi to take care of Ziyou more. This is a good thing."
"You, you, I'm going to be mad at you."
Seeing that Yan Peng's words actually turned into a good thing, Tian Yulan was so angry that she was about to explode.
"Don't you hear Nan Li's sarcasm? They just hire a tutor for over 10,000 yuan, and they don't care even if they lose money, because it's their own money anyway."
"Listen, listen, what does she mean? She earned her own money, but doesn't that mean we also earn our own money? Or does she think they earn more and we earn less, so she is superior to us?"
Listening to Tian Yulan's words, Yan Peng felt a headache, but he still patiently explained: "Wife, they definitely don't mean that, don't let your imagination run wild. Even if they earn more, so what? Do we earn less? We live no worse than them."
It would have been fine if he hadn't said this. As soon as he said it, Tian Yulan became even angrier and took out all her resentment on him.
"How dare you say that? It's all because of you. If you could earn more, how could Nan Li still have the nerve to act so arrogant? If you had been more courageous, would I have been speechless today because of her?"
"What does this have to do with me? Why is it brought to my head again? Why am I not motivated? Yes, my salary is low, but my parents give me a lot of money every month, right? How can it be said that I am not motivated?"
"How dare you say that? You're almost 40, and you're still asking your parents for money. How can you be so embarrassed?"
"Wife, what you said is too much. I am the only son of my parents. Their money is my money. Why should I be embarrassed? It's you who cares about this and that every day. We are all family. What is there to care about?"
Under normal circumstances, Yan Peng would not have argued with Tian Yulan, but today he had drunk a little wine, and Tian Yulan had caused him to idle in the game, and then he was constantly scolded by Tian Yulan. Even a clay man would still have some temper, so his tone became hard, and he started to scold Tian Yulan instead.
When Tian Yulan heard this, she exploded on the spot. Well, I was bullied today, and it would be fine if you didn't help me, but now you are scolding me.
"Family? Yan Peng, you only know how to say that. But how did your parents treat me? You also saw how arrogant they were every time they gave me money. What did they mean? Alms? Do you know what I thought every time I used the money they gave me? I felt that my self-esteem was trampled. I didn't want their money, I wanted their respect, but have they ever given it to me?"
The more she talked, the louder Tian Yulan cried. Every time she thought of the faces of her in-laws, she felt embarrassed, so she was determined to move out of the villa and become independent.
It has to be said that Tian Yulan's childhood experiences made her think differently from ordinary people. She used her parents-in-law's money and still said that they did not give her dignity.
If you really want dignity, you can just refuse their money, and then you won't have to deal with their arrogant attitude.
Even if we take a step back, when I decided to marry Yan Peng, I must have had a deep understanding of him and knew what he was like. If I didn't regret it at the time, what right do I have to complain now?
Seeing Tian Yulan crying so hard, what else could Yan Peng say? He could only comfort her.
"Wife, okay, I was wrong. Next time my parents behave like that, I will tell them off. Don't be angry."
Under normal circumstances, Tian Yulan would have been coaxed by his few words of nicety, but today she was so traumatized that a few words of nicety could not coax her, and she just kept crying.
Yan Peng saw that Tian Yulan kept crying and nothing he said was of any use. He became a little anxious. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind.
"Wife, my salary is not high, but I also have ways to make money. Do you know how much money I have made these days? 60,000 yuan. In just over a month, I made 60,000 yuan."
When Tian Yulan heard this, she stopped crying immediately, wiped away her tears, and asked in surprise, "Sixty thousand for more than a month? You didn't take the money from your parents and then cheated me, did you?"
Yan Peng was immediately unhappy: "What are you talking about? Am I that kind of person?"
Although Tian Yulan didn't say anything, her eyes were very clear.
"Ok."
Yan Peng didn't argue with her, but took out his cell phone, tapped a few times, and put it in front of Tian Yulan.
"See this? This is called Bitcoin, a virtual currency similar to stocks. I bought 50,000 at the end of March, and now it has risen to 110,000. In more than a month, it has more than doubled, and I have made a net profit of 60,000."
Tian Yulan quickly took the phone and read it under Yan Peng's guidance. Finally, she found that what Yan Peng said was true and was completely stunned.
"Hubby, you're awesome too. How come you're so awesome? Mmm~ Mmm."
When it comes to changing faces, Tian Yulan is definitely an actress. She was crying with tears in the previous moment, and now she is smiling with a face full of chrysanthemums...
Yan Peng was so dizzy from Tian Yulan's kiss that he boasted shamelessly, "Wife, I'm not bragging to you, this is just the beginning. I just don't have enough money. If I had enough money, I would not have earned 600,000 now, but 600,000 or 6 million."
The braggart may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously.
"Husband, are you sure you can make money?"
"Of course you should. Do you think your husband has nothing to do with bragging to you?"
"Since we are sure to make money, we still have some savings, so let's invest it all."
"what?"
When Yan Peng heard this, he immediately panicked. He felt that he had overexaggerated.
"What? It's a sure-win business. We don't have much savings. How about borrowing some from your parents? We can pay them back when we make some money."
"what?"

Chapter 27 It’s a blessing, not a curse, it’s a curse that cannot be avoided
"Hey, Yan Peng, what do you have to do so early in the morning?"
On Saturday morning, Zhou Chen had a rare opportunity to sleep in for early education, but Yan Peng disturbed him. He questioned him in a dissatisfied tone.
Yan Peng on the other side didn't care at all. Instead, he asked anxiously: "Brother, I want to ask you something very important. Can Bitcoin continue to rise?"
Zhou Chen pulled his right hand out from under Nan Li’s neck, laid Nan Li, who was wrapped around him, flat on her back with her back against the pillow.
"You called me so early in the morning just to ask this?"
"Yeah, brother, is there still room for Bitcoin to rise?"
"You want to chase the investment?"
"That's why I asked you."
Nan Li turned over, held Zhou Chen's arm again, and found a comfortable position.
Yan Peng bought some bitcoins before, but Zhou Chen didn’t care much about it. But now Yan Peng wants to add more, which makes him suspicious.
Because if Yan Peng had this idea, he could have asked him when playing on Thursday instead of waiting until today.
"Why did you want to chase the investment? This is not like you."
"Brother, you make it sound like I'm some kind of immortal who doesn't eat grains or the worldly things. Who doesn't want to make money? I still have some private money, and I want to make more money for backup, but I don't know anything else, so I just trust you, brother, so I'm asking you."
Zhou Chen didn't suspect anything else. Based on his understanding of Yan Peng, he knew that Yan Peng was not the kind of person who would be addicted to buying Bitcoin.
"According to my estimation, Bitcoin should still rise, but I plan to hold on to it until next month. It is still risky, so I advise you to buy less."
"Is there still room for growth? I see, brother, thank you very much. When I make money, I will treat you to music at the brothel."
"Listen to your uncle..."
"Hey, it's hung up, brother."
Zhou Chen hung up the phone, looked down and saw that Nan Li had opened her eyes and was looking at him in a daze.
"Honey, I heard you talking about Bitcoin. Who were you talking to on the phone?"
"It's Yan Peng. When we were playing basketball before, I mentioned it to him unintentionally. I didn't expect that he would buy it with me. Now he is still thinking about buying it. Sure enough, even if he is a person who doesn't care about anything else, he is very concerned about making money."
