Chapter 140
"You didn't wait for me and you already started eating. What should I be embarrassed about?" After saying that, Tian Hao went to the kitchen to get his own dishes.
Mr. and Mrs. Tian looked at each other.
Ever since Tian Hao said he wanted to become a son-in-law of the Wu family, he seemed like a different person. In the past, when Tian's father said such things, Tian Hao would just keep silent and not say a word of rebuttal. Now, Tian Hao would retort to every word Tian's father said, sometimes even saying more than Tian's father said.
Tian Hao took his bowl and chopsticks, sat down at an empty seat at the table, and started eating.
Brother Tian said, "Little brother, we didn't mean to not wait for you. We thought you wouldn't come back to eat, so we ate first."
Tian Hao naturally knew this was a lie. No one waited for him simply because they thought he was unimportant. It didn't matter whether he came back or not, or whether he ate or not. No one cared.
Therefore, Tian Hao did not respond to his second brother.
Father Tian was already angry, and seeing Tian Hao like this, he became even angrier.
"Your second brother is talking to you, but you remain silent!"
"What do you want me to say?" Tian Hao asked his father, "You guys are almost done eating the food. If I don't eat quickly, will there be any food left for me?"
Mr. Tian was speechless and his face turned red with anger.
Mrs. Tian said sarcastically, "Then come back earlier next time, little brother! That way you'll have food to eat, and you won't have to ignore your second brother and just focus on eating."
"Then please leave some food for me next time, sister-in-law. I have also paid the household allowance, and I am not eating and drinking for free at home. Since I have paid the money, I should still have food no matter how early or late I come back." Tian Hao replied.
Mrs. Tian Er was also choked and her face looked unhappy.
When it comes to household expenses, Tian's mother becomes excited.
"You got your salary today, right? It's time to pay next month's household expenses."
Tian Hao was waiting for Tian's mother to say this.
He took out three dollars from his pocket and threw them on the table.
Tian's mother was still waiting for Tian Hao to take money out of his pocket, but Tian Hao stopped moving and just focused on eating.
"What do you mean?" Tian's mother asked Tian Hao, holding the three yuan. "Only three yuan?"
"Yes, just three dollars." Tian Hao said affirmatively.
"You're thinking the wrong way! In the past, each person's monthly household allowance was ten yuan, so why do you only pay three yuan?" Tian's mother said angrily.
"It's only reasonable for me to pay three yuan. I used to pay too much. My eldest brother and second brother are a family of three, and they only have to pay ten yuan. I'm just one person, so why should I pay ten yuan? Who did I subsidize with the extra money?"
The family's faces were full of excitement and they were silent.
Tian's mother kept saying "you...you..." for a long time, wanting to say something in rebuttal, but she couldn't say anything else.
It was Tian's father who said, "We are all family. Why do you have to settle accounts with your eldest and second brothers so clearly?"
"Since it doesn't have to be calculated so clearly, what's the difference whether I pay three dollars or ten dollars? After all, I only eat alone. My eldest brother and his wife and second brother and his wife shouldn't mind that I only pay three dollars for household expenses every month in the future." Tian Hao said.
Mr. Tian was speechless, his chest filled with anger.
Tian Hao stopped talking and continued eating. He had eaten most of the dishes on the table.
The method Master Wan taught him was to start by reducing the household expenses he had to hand in. Master Wan had long discovered that the Tian family had been unfair to Tian Hao, but Tian Hao hadn't cared in the past, so Master Wan didn't say much. This time, he could use the household expenses as one of the breakthrough points.
…
In the evening, at the Shen family's house.
Ye Fuyue lay on the bed and told Shen Yao what happened in the furniture factory that day.
"That Director Zheng has a bit of official authority and looks annoying. But I'm not afraid of him. He really thinks he can do whatever he wants and no one can control him! If they still don't settle dividends for me based on actual sales next time, and don't pay me the dividends they owe me for the past two months, I will go to the union to sue him!" Ye Fuyue said, resting her head on Shen Yao's arm.
"Well, I support you. If you need my help, just tell me anytime." Shen Yao said.
"If I can't handle it, I will definitely ask you." Ye Fuyue's fingers drew circles on Shen Yao's chest: "But, I won't cooperate with the furniture factory anymore. I have to find another factory to cooperate with me."
"No rush. You're pregnant now, so don't be too tired. You'll still have time to find a factory after you give birth. My monthly salary is enough to support you and our baby." Shen Yao said softly.
He suddenly put his ear lightly on Ye Fuyue's belly.
Ye Fuyue was stunned: "What are you doing?"
"Let me hear if our baby moves."
Ye Fuyue smiled: "It's still early now, it's only been three months. You won't be able to hear any movement from him until at least five months later."
"Is it so late?" Shen Yao looked confused.
"Yeah. He's only the size of a loquat now, weighing only a dozen grams. How can you feel him moving?"
"But I feel like your belly has gotten a lot bigger." Shen Yao said.
Ye Fuyue snorted, "It's because you guys don't let me do anything. Every day I eat and sleep, sleep and then daze, then daze and sleep again. You guys have taken such good care of me, it would be strange if I didn't gain weight."
Chen Yao smiled and let Ye Fuyue rest her head on his arm again. "It's good to gain weight. Gaining weight means that you and our baby are well-nourished. I don't want you to become like Cui Yongfang."
When mentioning Cui Yongfang, Ye Fuyue thought of what she had heard before about Liang Nan looking for a new wife.
She asked Shen Yao: "Has Liang Nan found a new wife?"
"I found it and we're getting married."
Ye Fuyue was extremely surprised. "Are they planning to get married already? Cui Yongfang has only been dead for three or four months. Although I don't like Cui Yongfang, when she was alive, she took good care of the Liang family. It hasn't been long since she passed away, and Liang Nan is marrying a new wife so soon. The Liang family is really a bunch of bastards!"
Shen Yao hummed, and unconsciously played with Ye Fuyue's hair with his fingers: "It's really not a thing."
"Doesn't Liang Nan's new wife know that his wife died not long ago?" Ye Fuyue asked.
"He should know. I heard that his new wife is from the village below, not from our city." Shen Yao said.
A few days later, Ye Fuyue met Liang Nan's new wife that Shen Yao mentioned.
That day was the wedding day of Liang Nan and his new wife. Since it was their second marriage, the wedding was not very grand - even when Liang Nan married Cui Yongfang, the wedding was very hasty - the Liang family just set up a few tables of wine in the slum and invited relatives, friends and people in the slum to have a simple meal.
Ye Fuyue also learned more about Liang Nan's new wife from the aunts and ladies in the slum.
