Chapter 398 Selling the Snuff Bottle

Hai Xiaoxiao wiped her tears while shouting, her eyes were red, and if you didn't know better you would think she had suffered a great injustice.

Fu Hansheng took a deep breath. He felt very uncomfortable, but he didn't know how to refute her.

But it was not a solution to keep the stalemate going and leave her alone: ​​"I didn't mean to say that you spend a lot. I just wanted to tell you that the money in the family has been spent. I gave you the pomp you wanted. Now the family doesn't have that much money. We don't have a house in the county. If we have a child, the expenses will be even greater."

"Let's save some money. Twenty dollars won't be a small amount if you go back this time."

Hai Xiaoxiao didn't expect Fu Hansheng to be out of money so quickly: "But I promised to give my brother 200 yuan. He is preparing for the college entrance examination recently and needs to eat good food to replenish his body. I promised him. I will be embarrassed if I don't have money. Hansheng, you think of a way. I know you will definitely find a way."

"Just this once. I will definitely not take care of the family anymore. Let's just live our lives well. Is that ok with you?"

Hai Xiaoxiao held Fu Hansheng's hand and begged him in a soft voice.

Fu Hansheng didn't want to argue with her in front of Shen Xingjiang because of such a small matter: "You go back first, I will find a way."

Hai Xiaoxiao knew that Fu Hansheng would help her if he said so. If she cared too much about it now, it would only make him angry and she would lose face when she returned home.

Let’s take care of the return visit first, then we can talk about other things.

Hai Xiaoxiao is gone.

Fu Hansheng was embarrassed and didn’t dare to look at Shen Xingjiang: “You said everything was fine before marriage, why is it like this now.”

Shen Xingjiang: “I got used to it.”

There were still more than twenty left, and Fu Hansheng didn't know where to find it. He brought the snuff bottle to Jiang Wanwan at night and said, "Sister-in-law, can you accept this?"

Jiang Wanwan and Shen Xingjiang were just about to eat. There were sweet and sour pork ribs and fried noodles with soybean sauce on the table.

These are all what Jiang Wanwan wants to eat.

She nodded: "Yes, this thing is good, are you sure you want to sell it?"

Fu Hansheng nodded.

Jiang Wanwan: "It will be more valuable in the future than it is now. I will give you a hundred at most now, but I think you are giving it to me out of brother Shen Xingjiang's face. If it were someone else, I would give you a maximum of seventy."

Some things must be made clear, otherwise others would think she was cheating.

"By the way, have you told Hai Xiaoxiao about this? I don't dare to accept it easily. I don't get along well with her. I'm afraid she will turn around and accuse me of speculation and report me."

In the past, when Fu Hansheng came here, it was like he was going back to his own home, and he would talk to Jiang Wanwan about everything. But now, his brother's wife has to tell him the ugly words in advance.

"She doesn't know. When I get the money, I'll say I borrowed it from somewhere else and won't tell her that I sell snuff bottles. If you're worried, we can write a receipt."

Jiang Wanwan thought that if Hai Xiaoxiao saw the typed document, she would be able to use it against her: "It's okay."

"Jiangjiang, go get a hundred dollars."

Chen Xingjiang got on the kang, took out a plastic bag from the cabinet, and found a few neatly stacked big unity banknotes and some change, which together made a hundred yuan.

He gave the money to Fu Hansheng, but still advised him: "Keep some for yourself just in case, and don't act like the money came so easily."

Fu Hansheng took the money and put it in his pocket.

"Well, you guys eat, I'm leaving first."

Fu Hansheng walked home with heavy steps. When Hai Xiaoxiao saw him coming back, she got up from the bed and said, "You're back. Did you get the money?"

Fu Hansheng took out thirty from his pocket and gave it to her: "These are all you have, don't spend the rest."

When Hai Xiaoxiao saw that it was only thirty, she couldn't hide her disappointment on her face: "That's all, where did you get it from?"

Fu Hansheng was tired: “I borrowed it from Shen Xingjiang.”

Hai Xiaoxiao was even more disappointed.

Borrowing money to live was really uncomfortable. She put the money in her pocket and went to the kitchen to cook two bowls of white noodles: "You must be hungry, eat first."

Fu Hansheng washed his hands and sat in front of the table, looking at the tasteless white noodles, and thought of the food at Shen Xingjiang's house, with meat and food.

The garden was full of vegetables and the family saved some money.

"No meat?"

Hai Xiaoxiao's good face almost collapsed: "What kind of family are we? Your allowance is not much, and mine is not much either. How can we afford to eat meat?"

Fu Hansheng wanted to say, if he didn’t give the two hundred to your brother, the family would have money to eat meat.

Hai Xiaoxiao thought about going back to her parents' home to get money. She was afraid that Fu Hansheng would change his mind and take the money away, so she pretended to be pitiful: "You eat white noodles, and I eat white noodles too. Let's work hard to save money and make our little home better and better, okay?"

Fu Hansheng saw that she was not hopeless: "Let's eat."

After dinner, Hai Xiaoxiao washed her face and hugged Fu Hansheng in bed: "You and Shen Xingjiang are brothers, so we don't have to rush to pay back the money we borrowed from him. Thirty yuan is his half-month allowance. It's okay if we don't pay it back. I see that Jiang Wanwan is well dressed and eats well. Everyone in her family is on the farm, so she shouldn't be short of money."

"By the way, you can ask her if she can get my brother to work on the farm."

Fu Hansheng's forehead veins were throbbing. Even though he was lying about borrowing money, her thought made him feel sick.

Fu Hansheng pushed her away: "Do you think things will always be so innocent?"

"It's only natural to repay a loan. Do rich families deserve to support us for free? Do you think thirty is too little? Then do you know how much you can buy with thirty?"

"We are friends. He is not my father and has no obligation to give me money for free. I tell you, Shen Xingjiang and I are brothers who have shared life and death together. If you dare to go behind my back and ask them for connections and mess up our relationship, don't blame me for being rude to you."

Neuropathy.

Fu Hansheng thought she was really outrageous.

Did he marry the wrong person? Does Hai Xiaoxiao actually have a twin sister?

Hai Xiaoxiao was pushed away and her back hit the wall. Looking at Fu Hansheng's indifferent back, she grabbed the quilt and started crying.

The crying sounds made Fu Hansheng unable to sleep well, but he didn't expect that there were even more outrageous things waiting for him.

The next morning, Hai Xiaoxiao found Wen Liang with the bill.

"Comrade Wen, I estimated that this is the money your sister owes Fu Hansheng. She refuses to pay it back. Please pay it back for her."

Hai Xiaoxiao thought about it, but still didn't believe what Fu Hansheng said.

She blamed Wen Shuqin for Fu Hansheng not continuing to give her money to coax her.

Of course, she came to Wen Liang not because she really wanted money, but to embarrass Wen Shuqin.

Wen Liang took her bill and opened it. It said that the noodles were 80 cents and there were six dumplings, a total of 1.2 yuan.

Hai Xiaoxiao asked someone and found out that Fu Hansheng and Wen Shuqin had eaten twice in the cafeteria and probably ate the following: "We are all from small families. We are not asking for money on purpose. We are just in a difficult situation and are struggling. Every penny counts. You can understand that, right?"

Wen Liang: “I can’t understand.”

"Comrade Hai, does my sister know that you came to see me? Does Fu Hansheng know?"

Hai Xiaoxiao tucked her hair behind her ears: "For Comrade Wen's reputation, I didn't tell anyone."
