After a long discussion, Alison and Alexa finally decided to buy a quality pen for Torey to thank him for helping them with math during this period.
When Alison was adopted by Alexis, Alexis gave her a debit card and deposited 5,000 dollars into it every month as pocket money for Alison.
But Alison had never withdrawn any money from the card, as she had money. Her grandmother had left a sum of money to her before death.
Though the money was not much, it was enough to pay the tuition fees for four years of college.
Since her grandmother's death, Alison had done part-time jobs on weekends and during winter and summer vacations to earn money. But her money was usually taken away by her aunt-in-law under the guise of saving money for her.
Alison didn't refuse to give the money to her aunt-in-law, as she was timid and helpless during the beginning days when she lived with her aunt-in-law.
But since she menstruated, she hadn't even had the money to buy sanitary pads sometimes. So, she stopped giving her money to her aunt-in-law.
She'd never told anyone where she would go on the weekends or on vacations.
Besides, she only brought a little money that she had earned with her, the rest of which she asked Sherry to save for her. From the second year of middle school to the second year of high school, Alison saved almost 20,000 dollars.
Since she lived with Alexis, Alexis had bought all the necessities for her, and she didn't need to spend money on them.
So, even if Alison didn't withdraw money from the card given by Alexis, she still had money.
Although Alexa had much pocket money, she was used to buying expensive things and saved little money.
When Alexa came out this time, her mother had only given her 1,000 dollars, and she didn't dare to buy something very expensive.
They two strolled along the street and finally stepped into a famous pen shop to buy a pen worth 1000 dollars. They each paid 500 dollars.
It was the first time that Alison had bought such an expensive thing.
Looking at the exquisite packaging, Alison deeply realized how poor she was in the past.
"What's up, Alison? Do you think it's expensive?"
