Chapter 419: Envy (Page 1/2)

Huo Qingyan's wedding gift money was given by his parents-in-law, and he also said that he borrowed a few hundred yuan from his father-in-law.

In the next few months of their relationship, he used all his salary to pay off his debts, and didn't leave much money for her when he left.

All she had in her hands were the dowry and betrothal money given by her parents. As for Huo Qingyan's monthly salary, it was not as much as when he was there. Now he only received the basic salary.

His basic salary was 100 yuan a month, but she did not go to collect the money. Instead, she asked her father-in-law to collect it on her behalf.

The reason why Song Jingjing did this was that she didn't want Huo Qingyan to misunderstand her. She married him because of his money, and she couldn't follow the same path as Ling Fei.

She had saved up the dowry and betrothal money, and she also had a monthly salary of 36 yuan, which she could not spend all by herself. Moreover, after Huo Qingyan left, her parents-in-law did not ask her to pay for living expenses.

So she didn't want to hold Huo Qingyan's basic salary in her hands for the time being. She was waiting for Huo Qingyan to come back and hand the passbook to her personally.

Huo Junshan seemed to have guessed something. Since his daughter-in-law didn't want to touch the money, he would save it for them and wait for his son to come back to deal with it.

After the New Year's Eve dinner, everyone sat together to watch TV and eat melon seeds and peanuts. Song Jingjing would be out of confinement in six days, and she didn't want to lie alone in bed during the New Year.

She sat by the fire, warming herself, while her son slept in a cradle beside her.

Song Jingjing quietly looked at her uncle who was sitting opposite her and stuffed a candy into her sister-in-law's mouth. She was extremely envious and wished Huo Qingyan was at home too.

However, even if Huo Qingyan came back, she would not stuff her cousin into her mouth, but she might peel melon seeds and peanuts for Huo Qingyan.

There was nothing she could do. It was because she fell in love with him at first sight. As for whether Huo Qingyan liked her or not, she couldn't make a definitive conclusion. At least they were like guests to each other.

They would still have sex when they needed to, two to three times a week. Every time, she would take the initiative to approach him, and he would press her under him. Afterwards, they would sometimes chat for a few words, and sometimes he would fall asleep directly.

Seeing that he was tired, she would sometimes get up, bring hot water, and help him wash his body.

Huo Qingyan always said that she was very considerate and sensible, but she was too quiet when doing that.

She didn't know how he got along with Ling Fei. Did he like her yelling in bed?

Seeing her sister-in-law so happy, she really wanted to ask her for advice on how to make a man fall in love with her.

Lin Man saw Song Jingjing staring at her without blinking, and wondered if there was something dirty on her face?

She took a candy from the fruit plate on the coffee table and handed it to Song Jingjing who was sitting opposite her.

"Sister-in-law, do you want some White Rabbit candy?"

Song Jingjing touched the scarf wrapped around her head and saw that it was not falling off. She smiled and took the candy from Lin Man's hand.

"Thank you, sister-in-law."

"You are welcome."

After Lin Man finished speaking, she stood up and went back to her room to get the wool, ready to continue knitting sweaters for the twins.

Xiao Ya was puzzled as she saw that Lin Man was knitting a pink baby sweater.

"Manman, who are you knitting a sweater for?"

Huo Yining, who was chewing dried strawberries, jumped out and said, "Grandma, my mother is knitting a sweater for my sister."

"Sister? Manman, are you pregnant?"

Lin Man glanced at Huo Yining. This guy was really quick-witted. Although she knew in her heart that the embryo had started to implant after they had sex during those days.

There are still several days before her period, so it’s not right for her to say she is pregnant now, right?

"Mom, we've already started preparing for pregnancy, and I want to prepare some sweaters for the baby in advance."

Huo Junshan was very happy to see Lin Man knitting a pink sweater. According to his daughter-in-law, he might have a granddaughter this year. It seemed that she had listened to his words last time.

When the child is born, he has to prepare two big red envelopes. He will work hard to overcome difficulties this year and strive to get a large bonus to give red envelopes to his granddaughter.

"Xiao Man, you guys should work hard and try to have a little girl by the end of this year."

Seeing his father's excitement, Huo Qinghuan rolled his eyes at him and said, "Dad, today is the last day of the year. You should say the end of next year."

Huo Junshan finally realized that he couldn't say that until after midnight. "You're just looking for trouble. I'll take back your New Year's money tomorrow."

"Dad, I have to save that money. If I graduate from high school and still can't take the college entrance examination to go to university, I may have to go to the countryside. I have to save money in advance for going to the countryside."

Nowadays, junior high school and high school only last two years. Huo Qinghuan graduated from high school in 1973. If he could not go to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University, he would have to go to the countryside if he did not join the army.

Unless his parents-in-law buy him a job in advance, he will have no way of avoiding the fate of going to the countryside.

It seems that grandpa will not take the initiative to arrange jobs for his grandson who is going to the countryside. Whenever Huo Wenjing wants to go to the countryside, his sister goes on his behalf, and Huo Xi's job was bought by Du Xiaojuan.

If Grandpa arranges a job for Huo Qinghuan, Fourth Aunt and Younger Aunt will definitely have objections.

Song Jingjing didn't expect Huo Qinghuan to start saving money at such a young age. She asked Huo Qinghuan, "Qinghuan, how much money have you saved?"

"I've been saving for several years, almost three hundred yuan."

Song Jingjing exclaimed, "You've saved almost three hundred yuan. How come you're so amazing?"

Huo Yining knew that his uncle had a lot of money, so he smiled and said to him, "Uncle, it's New Year's Day, please give me and my brother a big red envelope too. I don't want a dime."

Huo Qinghuan felt a little pain in his heart. Huo Yining was a smart kid who knew the use of money. Now that he couldn't cheat a dime from him, was he going to return the ten yuan each given by his elder brother and sister-in-law to An An and Ning Ning?

Huo Qinghuan was hesitating when Lin Man said, "Qinghuan, although you are Ningning's uncle, according to seniority you should give red envelopes to An'an, Ningning, and Chenchen, but you are not married yet, so you can give them to them after you get married.

Don't bother with Ningning. I've saved all the red envelopes he's received over the past few years and will give them to him when he grows up."

Hearing Lin Man's words, Huo Qinghuan couldn't help but laugh, "Okay, then I'll give them red envelopes after I get married."

Huo Yining, who was standing by, suddenly interrupted and said, "Mom, I gave those red envelopes to buy candy for my sister."

Seeing Huo Yining about to run over to hug her, Lin Man quickly stopped him, "Ningning, I'm knitting a sweater, don't come over, just sit and warm yourself by the fire."

Huo Qingci, who was peeling a candy for his youngest son, glared at Huo Yining, and Huo Yining immediately sat down obediently.

Xiao Ya looked at the wool in Lin Man's bag and said, "Man Man, you are knitting a sweater. How about I help you knit woolen pants?"
