18,600 dollars—that amount was indeed a bit high for an average university student.
Even someone born into a wealthy family would have found this amount a little too much, let alone someone like
Louis, who didn't even cfrom a rich family but was from a middle-class family.
His monthly allowance should have been around 5,000 dollars if my memories were correct. That was considered
a lot among university students, but he never saved. Not only would he spend it all every month, but he often
borrowed money from others, including me.
It was clear how terrible he was with money.
With Mrs. Brown unexpectedly present, he probably wasn't prepared at all. It would already be quite a feat if he
could present his entire monthly allowance of 5,000 dollars to host her.
Being asked to present 18 thousand dollars suddenly was undoubtedly a crushing blow to him.

As expected, cold sweat soon appeared on his face. Anyone could see how anxious he was.
"O-Okay. I'll pay."
Louis took out his wallet, shakily pulling out several bank cards. Besides one debit card, the rest were credit
cards.
"Start by charging 4,800 dollars on this card."
The initially frightened Mrs. Brown immediately let out a sigh of relief when she saw Louis willing to pay and
began bragging again to the others.
"Oh, jeez. Isn't my daughter amazing? She found such a capable son-in-law forwho can casually dish out 18
thousand dollars for a meal and spend ten thousand on swine without even batting an eye!"
Her two companions immediately chimed in with flattery, "Exactly! Veronica sure can pick her men. You'll never
have to worry about retirement again. When your daughter gets married, you can ask her husband to buy you a
mansion and have you live in the city."
"That's right! A house with a garden would be best. When we visit you in the future, we can bask in the sun
together in the garden."
Mrs. Brown stifled a laugh but ended up chuckling out loud. "Only country folks bask in the sun. People in the city
always stay in the shade. You've lived in the city for years. How are you still stuck with country habits?"
After swiping five cards, Louis finally managed to pay the 18,600 dollars in full. Unlike Mrs. Brown, who was
thrilled, Veronica's expression was dark. She was around Louis every day. How could she not know about his
financial situation? She must be worried.
After watching the play out, I finally got Felicia and Mrs. Cylon to join them.
"Why are you only here now?"
The moment Mrs. Brown saw us, she started yelling.
"Do you know how long we've been waiting for you? Is our tless valuable than yours?"
| smiled and asked, "Didn't you guys just pay your bill?"

Mrs. Brown was stunned, her face turning red with embarrassment. "How... How do you know that?"
Mrs. Cylon, being an honest person, blurted out, "We were just over there drinking tea and eating sfruit
while watching you settle the bill."
Mrs. Brown was livid. "Y-You just watched us pay without any intention of coming over?"
I replied bluntly, "What could we have done even if we cover? We can't
possibly pay for your meal, can we?"
"As if you could pay. Do you know how much this meal costs? Lettell you the change from this meal alone is
more than your monthly expenses!"
"Exactly!"
When they beratednonstop, Felicia could no longer endure it and said, "Don't
look down on others. The meal we just had was-"
"Felicia."
