Qin Taoxian's already unnatural expression froze on her face.
She was more eager to replace Gu Xiufang and live in the Xiao family's big house, sitting on the sofa and watching TV. Xiao Chengda earned more than 100 yuan a month, and even if he gave her only a few dozen, it would be enough for her to buy a lot of things.
Cheng Xingyan gave the money and got on his bicycle. "I won't tell you guys anymore. We're having meat at home today. My wife went to the grocery store early this morning to grab some. I heard she wants to buy some ribs to stew with potatoes. My son is coming back to eat. I'm leaving first, Lao Xiao. We'll talk later."
When talking about his wife and son at home, the smile on his face could not hide his happiness.
Xiao Chengda nodded: "Okay."
I feel a little uncomfortable.
Just a few days ago, he could get off work peacefully and chat and laugh with his family.
How did it become like this?
He walked Qin Taoxian and her daughter back home in a daze, and walked them to the door without entering the house: "You can use this 10 yuan to deal with it first. I will come to see you later when I get my salary."
Huang Wanqing felt bad because Uncle Xiao didn't even come to the yard to chat with her mother.
Qin Taoxian was not in a hurry: "Go back quickly, go back and eat early, don't go hungry. I won't go to your house without your permission in the future. I wanted to apologize, but I didn't expect to cause you so much trouble."
Xiao Chengda also felt that she was a little rash today.
But it wasn't intentional, so I can't blame her.
"I'm leaving first."
When Xiao Chengda disappeared from view, Huang Wanqing clenched the money in her hand and said, "Mom, Uncle Xiao doesn't seem to care about us anymore. What should we do?"
Qin Taoxian changed her usual honest, weak and polite demeanor, and put on a cruel smile while tucking her hair behind her ears: "Don't worry, I have thought of a solution."
"Gu Xiufang has a hot temper. She can't live with this. If I give her a strong dose of medicine, I'm sure Xiao Chengda and Gu Xiufang will divorce."
Xiao Chengda turned back and it was already dark.
I pushed the door, but it didn't move at all and was locked from the inside.
"Who locked the door? Open it!"
People were eating in the room, so no one heard the noise outside.
Gu Xiufang was in a bad mood, so Jiang Zao asked her to rest first.
She made a dish of spicy and sour potato shreds. The sour and spicy taste was very appetizing. She was not good at eating vegetarian food, and there happened to be some bacon in the small jar. She washed the lean meat, cut it into shreds, and stir-fried it with dried radish, adding a large chopstick of oil. The fried meat and dried radish oil were very chewy.
The cooking skills of ginger and jujube are naturally impeccable, and the flavor is particularly good. The simple dish can be eaten with two bowls of rice.
Dried radish and bacon were served. Huo Xiaoman picked up a lot of meat in five or six bites. After she finished, she said, "Children need to eat meat to grow."
"If he doesn't eat meat, I won't be able to provide him with any nutrition!"
Xiao Wensheng suppressed his anger, picked up a few pieces of meat for Xiangdi with his chopsticks, and said silently: "Xiaoman has been eating a lot of meat recently. Starting from this month, I will pay an extra 10 yuan to the family every month."
Huo Xiaoman stuffed the meat into her mouth voraciously, thinking of taking three or five pieces at a time and taking more pieces after finishing. She ate much more than others.
She stuffed her mouth with a few pieces of salted pork that tasted like radish. Xiao Wensheng's words entered her ears, and the pieces of pork got stuck in her throat, almost choking her to death.
"You... instigated..."
“Cough cough cough!!!”
"Gulp..." He swallowed the piece of meat with his throat rolling, and his throat hurt.
After swallowing it, her face flushed red. "I didn't just eat a few more pieces of meat, why should I take ten more yuan? Our family is about to have a second baby, and the three of us will become four. Instead of putting money in your pocket, you're spending it outside. Do you have too much money to burn?"
If Huo Xiaoman hadn't been pregnant, Xiao Wensheng would have divorced her.
They barely managed to get by together, and their feelings and emotions couldn't return to the way they were before. Xiao Wensheng's expression was very cold: "A plate of meat costs about 20 yuan, and you can only eat half of it. What will happen to others if you are full?"
"You don't want to bring food home during the holidays, but Shuisheng and his wife always bring it home, and you often eat it with them. Are you allowed to eat other people's food, but not others' food?"
"Yes, I just have too much money to burn. If you don't want to live with me, go find someone else."
After he finished yelling, he lowered his head and stuffed the rice into his mouth.
No shame to pick meat.
Huo Xiaoman's grievances bubbled up layer by layer. She put down her chopsticks, wiped away her tears, and choked out her words, "You keep saying that you don't care that I gave birth to a girl, but everything you do is humiliating me for not being able to give birth to a son!"
"I don't want to eat anymore, you guys eat it!"
"If I don't eat it, you can't give them 10 yuan."
Is it easy to save some money?
Her elder brother and Huo Xiaoyu were still fighting at home, and the problem had not been resolved. There were many places that needed money, but he was just giving money away eagerly, but others might not appreciate it.
Huo Xiaoman went out sobbing. When she left, Xiao Chengda had become impatient and went to the old man's room next door to eat.
Looking at the extra people, Mr. Xiao and Mrs. Xiao looked at each other.
Old Mrs. Xiao asked cheerfully, "Did you have a fight?"
Xiao Chengda shook his head: "Don't ask, nothing happened."
He didn't want to worry the old couple.
The old man and the old lady don’t like oily food or salt in their meals. Potatoes stewed with tofu taste bland.
After eating a few bites, he put down his chopsticks and went to sleep in the house.
After they finished eating, Jiang Zao had almost finished eating too. She and Gu Xiufang picked up the dishes and washed them.
Xiao Wensheng was about to leave when Xiao Shuisheng stopped him: "Wait a minute, I want to tell you something."
The two brothers went to sit on the sofa.
Xiao Wensheng: "What's wrong?"
Xiao Shuisheng glanced outside and said, "There's something I feel I need to tell you. I've been wondering recently who helped Dad change Qin Taoxian's living quarters. After much thought, I think it was my sister-in-law."
