Cathy was sick. So she was no longer in charge of the Carter family's affairs. She ate lightly every day to reduce internal heat.
But she did not know that the entire Carter family was eating very lightly now. Grandma Eva made it a rule that the daily household budget should be no more than 100.
There were nice dishes on the table anymore. Instead, they became the most ordinary pork and vegetable dishes. Sophia, William and the others were suffering.
"William, what's wrong with your grandma? We have money, but look at what we are offered to eat. And your mother is a real bumpkin!" Sophia whined.
"Allison, it's been hard for you. My mother and grandmother are like that. When we went to see them, we never ate at home. Let's eat out at night instead of eating these stuff at home." William said. He wanted the best for Sophia, and he didn't want to eat at home, either.
"I miss Cathy now. We ate delicacies all the time when she was in charge. Look at what we're eating now!" It angered Sophia the most that her pocket money was reduced by 10,000.
"Yes, it's their fault. We won't eat at home anymore. I will take you out for dinner." William assured Sophia.
"I used to have 30,000 as pocket money, which wasn't enough already. Now it was 10,000 less. How am I supposed to live with it?" Sophia needed to subsidize her family. After the White family went bankrupt, her father often asked money from her. She didn't know what was going on. Even if her family was bankrupt, they should be able to live on the rest of the money. And Sophia had given them so much money before.
"Darling, I can give you money. It's just 10,000. I can take it from the company." Now in charge of the company, William had diverted quite some money. An extra 10,000 every month shouldn't be much different.
"You give me? I have all your salary cards. What can you give me?" When Sophia heard that William had other ways to get money, she was very excited.
"I can make it 10,000 less in the profit report and give it to you. The company is ours anyway. It is OK to do that." William said to Sophia.
"Can we? Great, then you give me 10,000 a month. Otherwise, I won't be able to survive." Sophia was elated. Grandma Eva deducted her money. Fortunately, she had a capable husband who could make it up for her.
"Honey, should we do something? You're not pregnant yet. I want to be a father." William held Sophia in embrace and looked at her with desire.
"You can't blame me. What if you are the one to blame?" Sophia said to William.
"I'm so healthy. There can't be something wrong with me. Come on, baby, for our baby!" After that, he threw himself on Sophia.
"What? You can accept a baby but not my daughter? How dare you! My daughter and grandson can't be separated." Tracy, who was lying on the bed, jumped up the moment she heard what Halbert said.
