It was less than the second day of her confinement period, but she already felt it was so hard to bear.

"Eat milk powder? It's not expensive, right?" Old Lady An knew that An Hongdou must have saved some money. Although she didn't know the exact amount, she knew that milk powder was not cheap.

If the children need to feed themselves with milk powder until they can eat, it will take at least 6 months. How much money will that cost?

An Hongdou smiled bitterly and said, "Mom, which is more important, money or your daughter?"

"You heartless girl, mom is doing this for your own good." Old Mrs. An was a little upset, thinking that she was being kind to her sincerely, but she didn't appreciate it.

Angrily, she said, "Forget it, forget it. If you don't let me take care of him, I'm not willing to do that. Anyway, my son is your own, you can raise him however you like. Mom is just reminding you that life is not easy, and you must have a plan in your mind."

Even though you are living a good life now and spending lavishly, if you don't save some money, it will be too late to save money when you need it in the future.

Mrs. An now has a deep understanding of this.

Their family was considered to be the best in the village, but as their sons got married one after another, they are now left with nothing.

Especially since it was agreed that the family would be divided once the fourth son got married, but then what happened with Zhao Yun forced the marriage to be cancelled.

In the past six months, her daughters-in-law have been reminding her openly or secretly about dividing the family property, and she is eager to do so as soon as possible.

But that was just an angry remark. If the family was really divided up suddenly, outsiders would not know what was going on, and the fourth son's marriage might be even more difficult.

No matter what, we have to wait until the fourth son’s wife comes home before we can divide the property.

"Xiangzhi must be very tired these past two days. Let him sleep in the east room at night. I'll squeeze into this room and help you take care of the children at night." Mrs. An arranged.

"No need, Mom. This bed is so small that there's no room for everyone. You can sleep on the bed in the east room and let Chen Xiangzhi sleep on the floor here." An Hongdou said helplessly as she looked at the bed next to her which was mostly occupied by the children.

Mrs. An didn't have to keep an eye on her, she was just worried that An Hongdou would get tired at night, so she asked, "Is he okay? A grown man, asking him to take care of the child at night? Don't let yourself get tired by then."

"Then wasn't he the one who changed the baby's diapers and fed him the whole night I was in the hospital?" An Hongdou asked back.

"It's better if he can take care of it." Mrs. An looked back and saw that Chen Xiangzhi hadn't come in yet, so she wanted to say a few kind words to An Hongdou, "My daughter, you can't be so honest in life. As long as you can order the child's father around, you can order him around. You have to let him take care of you and the child more, and cultivate a habit for him, and he will love you all his life. Don't be stupid and do everything yourself and let him be idle, and end up raising a grandfather for yourself."

An Hongdou couldn't help but think back to the memory of Old Man An and asked, "Mom, is this how my dad was able to listen to you so much?"

As I recall, Old Man An was extremely obedient to Old Lady An. Otherwise, An Delai, as her younger brother, would not have been so respectful to Old Lady An even after Old Man An's death for several years.

In the husband's family, the man's attitude determines the woman's status, which is absolutely true.

Mrs. An was very proud. "Of course not. This is the experience passed down by your grandmother. Once we got married, all the money your father had was taken away by me. He had no choice but to be honest."

Old Man An was very strong when he was young. He would sneak into the mountains to hunt and actually saved some pocket money.

However, ever since he married Mrs. An, he could no longer take out a single coin from his pocket. He had been controlled by Mrs. An all his life, and even now that he was buried, Mrs. An would still complain about him from time to time.

"You control my dad so strictly, so won't my dad blame you?" I remembered that once the private money of Old Man An was found out and reported by the original owner, but he was scolded a lot by Mrs. An.

Later, he took out one of Old Man An's private savings and gave it to the original owner as pocket money.

"What's there to complain about? I'm willing to take care of him because I really want to live with him. He's willing to give me the money because he wants to live with me." As she spoke, Mrs. An suddenly asked An Hongdou in a low voice, "Daughter, did the son-in-law give you the money?"

In her mind, only when a man’s money is handed over can it be seen as a sign that he has settled down and lived a good life; otherwise, it means that he has other intentions.

Otherwise, the household expenses are all borne by women, so why would a grown man save money?

"Give it to me." He gave her a hundred yuan when the house was built, and he didn't ask for it after he used it. Later, he gave her another 100 yuan when she bought something, and he also gave her some miscellaneous money at other times.

Of course, it was given, but it was definitely not all given, and An Hongdou knew it.

But she herself was not short of money, and she did not want to take all the man's money and hold it in her own hands like Old Lady An.

Besides, others don't know that she knows it better than anyone else. At the beginning, the two of them just decided to stay together temporarily. Although they no longer mentioned separation after they had a child, they stayed together for the sake of the child. There was not much emotional foundation between them.

I don’t know how far I can go in the future.

Old Mrs. An was a little confused.

If it was given, it was given; if it was not given, it was not given. She didn’t understand what the meaning of “gave it” was.

She didn't even know that Shen Xiangzhi was standing at the door at this moment. Hearing this question, he was so embarrassed that he didn't dare to enter.

At night, An Hongdou and the children slept on the bed, and Shen Xiangzhi spread a mat on the floor.

Before turning off the lights, he got up and lay on the bedside and whispered to An Hongdou, "If you want to manage the money, it's not impossible. When we get back, I'll give you all the money."

From now on, he will be responsible for the outside world, An Hongdou will be responsible for the home, and there are three children around them. Thinking about these days, there is still hope.

After two years when the child grows up, they will have another daughter. It would be a beautiful thought.

However, the next time An Hongdou gives birth, he will be fully prepared and will never let her feel as aggrieved as she did this time. After giving birth, she needs to replenish her energy, but she doesn't even have anything to eat.

When An Hongdou heard this, she knew that he had definitely heard what she had said to Mrs. An in the afternoon, so she turned around and explained, "My mother doesn't know about our situation, but don't worry, I have different ideas from her, and I don't want your money.

"No, why don't you care about my money?"

He felt that what Mrs. An said made sense. They had three children and would definitely live together for the rest of their lives. He was willing to give all his money to An Hongdou, but she didn't want it. Did this mean... that she was still thinking about divorce?

Shen Xiangzhi looked at An Hongdou now. She had lost her belly after giving birth, and her face was actually quite pretty except that it was a little pale.
