Blake thought to himself…
It's summer, and my padded jacket has transformed into a vest! Or maybe a mesh vest!
Is ten thousand dollars more important than Daddy?
At the dining table, Zachary wore an expressionless face and asked, "Why are they all so chaotic this early?"
Lilly was bewildered, asking, "Why is Grandma chasing after Daddy?"
Hannah munched on a delicious fried egg and vaguely replied, "I don't know! Whatever it is, let's eat quickly!"
Lilly took a bite.
Feeling somewhat heartless, she realized after a while, wearing a blank expression on her face, "Oh no! Daddy said I shouldn't mention going to the bar, but I just did!"
Oh, I'm sorry Daddy!!
After hastily devouring two mouthfuls, Lilly grabbed the pet bag and rushed out.
Polly, who was enjoying some yellow millet, uttered, "Eh?"
"Wait for me, wait for me! I haven't finished eating yet!"
Spreading its two claws, and twisting its tail, Polly dashed wildly...
Josh, Zachary, and Hannah quickly followed, each holding a piece of meat, an egg, and a sandwich.
What a wonderful morning…
Blake sprinted ahead, and an elderly lady chased after him with a frying pan, Lilly closely followed, and behind her was Polly. Trailing behind Polly were three little kids...
Eventually, Lilly got her 10,000 dollars back.
Rain just got out of prison and could barely afford to make a living. If she had a debt, her sewing machine would be smoking.
…
Downtown.
After reclaiming the 10,000 dollars, Lilly sighed, "What a loss!"
Josh asked, "Didn't you get the money back? Why is it a loss?"
Lilly counted on her fingers, saying, "The monthly interest on 10,000 dollars is 14.50 dollars, and for three months, it's 43.50 dollars... a whole hundred dollars! It's gone."
Josh appeared dazed, questioning, "Is that how it's calculated?"
Hannah nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, it comes to a hundred dollars. Well, remember that next time!"
Lilly nodded emphatically, saying, "Yes!"
Blake pondered…
Hey... is that how you calculate your debt?
"Let's head home," Blake suggested, "Otherwise, Grandma might scold us again."
But Lilly held up a lollipop, saying, "Daddy, this is for you!"
Blake pinched her cheek and replied angrily, "You betrayed your father for 10,000 dollars, and now you want to win him over with that? It's too late."
Lilly asked pitifully, "Then what can Lilly do to make you forgive me? I didn't mean it!"
Blake pointed towards a familiar ice cream shop on the street, saying, "An ice cream."
Lilly nodded happily, saying, "Okay!"
The group arrived at the ice cream shop.
Lilly took out a one-hundred-dollar bill from her purse.
"Miss, I'll have five ice creams!" she cheerfully exclaimed.
This street-side ice cream shop was a classic, it was 20 dollars per serving.
Lilly had it all figured out. Five ice creams would be exactly one hundred dollars!
However, to her surprise, Blake pointed at the ice cream display and said, "I'll take this one, this one, and this one. Add two scoops of vanilla and some dried strawberries."
