Chapter 85: Chapter 85 Our Family Can Only Afford to Feed One Freeloader
There was a place to eat inside the scenic area, but the prices were double what they were outside.
After wandering around for a bit, Sang Youyou decisively pulled out her phone.
Not wanting to be a sucker, she directly ordered some takeout for herself.
Seeing this, the others thought it was a good idea and followed suit, so the group ended up squatting at the entrance waiting for their food.
After eating, everyone felt it would be too much of a loss to leave just like that, especially since they had paid for the tickets.
Even if they couldn’t make up for the cost, they figured they might as well enjoy a few more rides.
Luckily, there were fewer people in the afternoon, so they managed to queue up for the roller coaster and the pirate ship before heading home.
It was fun, but it was indeed exhausting.
“Yiyi, did you have fun today?” Shen Zhaozhao asked Sheng Chuyi on the way back.
Sheng Chuyi: “It was okay!”
“Then, how about we go out together again next time?” Shen Zhaozhao’s eyes sparkled as if filled with stars, and her face was bursting with excitement.
Although the waiting times were a bit long, she still had a great time.
A week’s vacation vanished in the blink of an eye.
After playing for two days and lazing around for three, Shen Zhaozhao inevitably ended up staying up late to finish her homework on the last day of the holiday.
The next day, as soon as she walked into the classroom, she saw Sang Youyou tapping her watch and showing Shen Zhaozhao a photo of a dog: “Zhaozhao, look, isn’t it cute?”
“Wow, it’s so cute!” The dog in the photo had long fur and a small braid on top of its head, looking as adorable as a doll, melting hearts at first glance.
“This is a Maltese! I heard it’s also called Maltese Angel,” Sang Youyou excitedly explained.
She had recently become obsessed with dogs, looking at different ones online every day.
Looking at the beautiful dog in the photo, Shen Zhaozhao couldn’t help but feel tempted: “It’s so beautiful, I really want to raise one too!”
Little girls had always been weak when it came to such cute animals.
Sang Youyou: “I want to raise one too, but I’ve heard that this kind, with good breed quality, are very expensive, costing tens of thousands of dollars each.”
Shen Zhaozhao imagined asking her mom to spend ten thousand dollars on a dog for her, and then thought better of it—she felt her mom would probably kick her out of the house.
“There is also this one, it looks very nice too, and I see quite a few people raising them online. This one should be cheaper, I hear you can get one for just hundreds of dollars,” Sang Youyou quickly flipped to another photo, recommending another breed of dog.
It was also extremely cute.
Shen Zhaozhao was increasingly tempted!
She wanted to raise one!
Shen Zhaozhao didn’t approach Ms. Shu Ran directly, knowing her mom definitely wouldn’t agree, but instead went straight to her dad and tentatively started, “Dad, I want to raise a pet.”
Before she could finish, Daddy Zhaozhao flatly refused: “No way.”
Daddy Zhaozhao: “Our family can only afford to feed one freeloader.” Between her and a dog, they could only choose one.
So in her parents’ eyes, she was on the same level as a dog.
Shen Zhaozhao, not giving up, continued to nag persistently, “Dad, you are my dearest and most loved father. Can you really bear to deny your precious daughter even this small desire? What if I save my own pocket money to support it, wouldn’t that work?”
“Sweetheart! Trust me, you really are not fit to raise a pet,” Daddy Zhaozhao said earnestly.
“Why am I not suitable?” Shen Zhaozhao protested.
Daddy Zhaozhao looked up at his daughter and said, “You can’t even keep your own room clean.”
