Chapter 67 Jiang Jianhua and Xu Runli quarreled

Jiang Jianhua was exposed for falsifying expenses, and the sweat on his back instantly soaked through his inner clothes.

She clutched Xu Runli's wrist, her knuckles turning white, but she didn't dare to get angry. The account book in Yun Tangyin's hand was irrefutable evidence. If she really brought this to Song Yushuang, she would only be scolded even more miserably.

"Why are you looking at me?" Jiang Jianhua shook off Xu Runli's hand, his voice weak. "Why don't you hurry back to your room? Do you want the whole hospital to see you looking so humiliated?"

Xu Runli took a half step back and looked at Jiang Jianhua as if he were a stranger: "Did you really falsify your expenses? Zhicheng said that the Jiang family are all honest people, how come..."

"Don't listen to Yun Tangyin's nonsense!" Jiang Jianhua interrupted hurriedly, looking around before lowering his voice: "She still remembers that I overpaid by a few cents last time. She's deliberately targeting me!"

"Five cents?" Xu Runli raised an eyebrow. "Then what's with the ninety cents you said you owed me?"

Jiang Jianhua was speechless. He grabbed the wooden basin on the ground and stuffed it into Xu Runli's arms: "Go wash your clothes! If you keep asking about other people's private affairs, I'll have Fu Yuanshan kick you out!"

She was really angry and embarrassed now.

Xu Runli caught the wooden basin, and when her fingertips touched the cold bottom, she suddenly felt funny.

It turns out that Jiang Zhicheng, who said he had the final say in the Fu family, also had a weakness that could be exploited by others.

She rolled her eyes and deliberately put the basin on the ground: "If you don't explain clearly, I won't wash these clothes. Anyway, I am a guest. I can't let guests be ordered around like a maid, right?"

These words hit Jiang Jianhua right where it hurts.

But now that he's been caught, he can only grit his teeth and give in: "That's it...that's it, I have no choice! Who doesn't need money?"

"Oh..." Xu Runli drawled out, "So not only was it a false report, it was also a lie."

She bent down and picked up the wooden basin. "I'll help you wash the clothes, but you have to tell me the truth. What is Yun Tangyin's status in the Fu family? How can she even control your salary?"

Jiang Jianhua glanced towards the main hall, and after making sure no one was out, he said sullenly, "She had just married in, and Mom made her the housekeeper. Fu Yucheng loves her, Fu Yuanshan is afraid of her, and even my eldest brother thinks she knows how to manage a life... Do you think her status is high?"

"So you're willing to let her control you?" Xu Runli turned on the faucet, and water splashed on the wooden basin and fell down with the water flow. "If it were me, I would have quarreled with her a long time ago."

"Arguing? Why?" Jiang Jianhua squatted beside her, rubbing clothes. "She remembers everything clearly and keeps a tight rein on her words. The last time I argued with her..."

She became angrier and angrier as she spoke, recalling the times Yun Tangyin bullied her. Her face was covered in bubbles. "If it weren't for Fu Yucheng's support for the Fu family, I wouldn't have indulged her. She really thinks I'm afraid of her just because I gave in temporarily!"

Xu Runli's heart moved. What if Fu Yucheng didn't protect her?

Xu Runli moved closer and asked, "Do you want to get the account book back? I have a way."

Jiang Jianhua paused. "What can you do? She's even trying to coax her mother into a corner."

"No matter how much you love her, she's still your mother-in-law."

Xu Runli lowered her voice, "Let's find an opportunity to make her miscalculate her account. Then I'll mention her identity as a capitalist daughter to Mom, and you'll also mention the Yun family's affairs. Do you think Mom will still trust her?"

Jiang Jianhua's eyes lit up: "Is it possible? What's going on with the Yun family?"

It's nothing more than that the Yun family is now broken up, and she and her mother are staying with Jiang Zhicheng. As for Yun Zhixiong... although he had written a letter of severing ties, he was still her biological father after all. He could be thrown away at will. Xu Runli didn't believe that there was any elder who could remain indifferent.

As for what the mother and daughter had done, Xu Runli didn't dare tell Jiang Jianhua a single word.

Jiang Jianhua's hands stopped mid-roll, his eyes gleaming with excitement. "I only knew Yun Tangyin's father was a capitalist, but I didn't know much about him after that. I didn't expect this to happen."

"That's enough." Xu Runli moved closer to her and lowered her voice.

"Think about it, if your mother-in-law knew Yun Tangyin was so heartless, she would definitely feel uncomfortable. Then we can do something to the account and make her make a big mistake. She will definitely think she has ulterior motives. Regardless of whether she gives you the account book or not, at least Yun Tangyin got it, right?"

The more Jiang Jianhua listened, the more feasible it seemed. The soap in his hand almost melted. "So how do we do it?"

"No need to cook the books." Xu Runli smiled. "Next time we go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy something, ask her to buy a few more items and make her mistakenly remember the unit price. After she records the amount in the notebook, I will secretly replace the supply and marketing cooperative's receipts. When the numbers don't match, we'll see what she says."

"Will this work?" Jiang Jianhua was still a little hesitant. "Yun Tangyin keeps accounts very carefully."

"No matter how careful you are, you will get distracted sometimes." Xu Runli patted her shoulder.

Jiang Jianhua was moved by her words and rubbed the clothes with a lot more strength. Finally, after hesitating, he nodded: "Okay!"

The two were talking happily when they suddenly heard Fu Yucheng's voice coming from the courtyard gate: "Yinyin, it's cold outside, I'll take you back to the house."

Jiang Jianhua and Xu Runli quickly shut up and huddled beside the wash basin, pretending to concentrate on washing clothes.

The footsteps of Yun Tangyin and Fu Yucheng passed by the courtyard gate, and the crisp sound of the silver bracelets was particularly clear.

"I seemed to hear someone talking just now." Yun Tangyin's voice was a little doubtful.

"Someone is washing clothes." Fu Yucheng's voice was gentle. "Don't mind them. I'll read 'How the Steel Was Tempered' to you."

The footsteps gradually faded away, and Jiang Jianhua breathed a sigh of relief: "I was so scared, I almost heard it."

Xu Runli frowned: "Brother Yucheng is too good to her. If this continues, even if we take the account book away, her position in the Fu family will not be shaken."

"That……"

Jiang Jianhua was a little panicked.

"Don't worry, there's still one more trick." Xu Runli's eyes darkened, "I'm sure I can find a way to make her life miserable..."

Xu Runli sprinkled some detergent into the wash basin, and foam rose from her fingertips: "Doesn't Fu Yucheng value the reputation of the army the most? Let's start from here."

Jiang Jianhua's eyes widened: "What do you want to do? Don't do anything rash. If Fu Yucheng gets angry, he can kick us both out!"

"Don't worry, we don't have to do anything." Xu Runli nudged her with her elbow. "If someone says that Yun Tangyin is still in contact with her former capitalist relatives... do you think Fu Yucheng can still protect her like he does now?"

Jiang Jianhua's hand trembled violently, and the soap fell into the water. "This won't do! If this gets out, the Fu family will be implicated too. Don't do this!"

For a moment, Jiang Jianhua felt that Xu Runli seemed even more vicious than her.

Moreover, although Jiang Jianhua knew about the dispute between Yun Tangyin and Xu Runli, judging from the expression on Xu Runli's face at this moment, she was indeed a little scared...

After all, if this implicates the entire Fu family, then the matter will become a big deal.

Jiang Jianhua just wanted to take advantage and have some status in the family. She didn't want to destroy the entire Fu family at all!
