Zhang Cuihua lay quietly on the kang, staring at the ceiling.
Zhao Tiezhu sat on the kang, staring at the door.
Zhang Cuihua spoke after a long while, "Old man, what do you think of Xiaoliang and his children?"
"Don't ask, he must have gone out to eat." Zhao Tiezhu snorted, "Didn't you hear the third brother say it several times? He took a lot of defective cloth."
Even defective cloth is in great demand, especially once it enters the black market, the price will go up rapidly.
"You believe what the third brother said." Zhang Cuihua still felt that Zhao Lei's words could not be trusted.
"You know the third brother's character well. Has he ever cheated anyone?"
"The supply and marketing department often has defective items to deal with, but my husband has never brought anything back in all the years he has worked there."
"Just because we don't mention something doesn't mean it doesn't exist." Some things are not secrets at all.
Zhao Tiezhu had to admit, "This son is smart, but he's just a little smart."
“If you don’t know how to correct yourself…” After all, he was his son, so Zhao Tiezhu kept his mouth shut and didn’t continue.
He didn't continue talking. Zhang Cuihua understood what he meant. "Xiaoliang is still very filial."
Zhang Cuihua still wanted to explain something to her son, "That, that..."
The old lady wanted to say what Zhao Liang had done to show filial piety to them, but she was stuck for a long time and couldn't remember what he had done. She suddenly looked embarrassed.
Zhao Tiezhu sneered, "You haven't thought about what he has done for the family."
"Your underwear is so torn, with so many patches on it, it's unbearable to look at. Did your good son bring you a piece of cloth?"
"There wasn't any at all. Zhao Lei got us two meters of cloth and made us underwear."
"Xiaoliang, you are just being filial in words. When you need us, you always say yes."
"You, think carefully about who treats you best."
"Zhao Lei was good to me, but that was in the past. Look at what he has given us since we got married."
Zhang Cuihua admitted that Zhao Lei was a very good person in the past, providing the family with food, drinks and other necessities, but that was in the past.
As for now, apart from his filial piety during festivals, there is nothing else at all.
Zhao Tiezhu listened to Zhang Cuihua's nagging complaints without saying anything, just listening quietly.
"How much do you give to your husband?"
"How much do you give to the third brother?"
"How much did we spend on my husband's wedding?"
"How much did we spend on the third child's wedding?"
"How much salary did you hand in after you finished your work?"
"How much salary did the third brother hand in after he finished his work?"
"Calculate it and tell me." Zhao Tiezhu held back his breath, "When you recover, tell me a number."
No matter how much he said to her, it was useless. It would be better to use facts to make her wake up. If this still couldn't make her wake up, Zhao Tiezhu would have no other choice.
These words immediately shut Zhang Cuihua up. Although she was not very clear about the specific figures, she knew that her husband really spent a lot of the family's money.
At this moment, three people were heard talking outside the house, and they knew that Zhao Liang and the others had returned.
After Zhao Liang pushed the cart into the house, Kouzi and the other two entered the house first, "Mom and Dad, we're back."
Zhao Tiezhu hummed, "Why did you come back so late?"
