Chapter 77
Ye Fuyun couldn't bear to hear it any longer. She hated it most when people mentioned this to her.
Just as she was about to leave, Cui Yongfang quickly asked, "So, is there any movement in your stomach now?"
Ye Fuyun was a little annoyed. She shook her head: "Not yet."
"You have to hurry up! Your mother-in-law scolds you all day long in the compound. If you're pregnant, she won't scold you anymore! And your sister is much more popular in the compound now. If you get pregnant before her, she'll be the one everyone laughs at."
Cui Yongfang seemed to be making suggestions with good intentions, but everyone knew that she was actually laughing at the joke.
Besides, why did Cui Yongfang have to tell Ye Fuyun these words? Ye Fuyun knew better than anyone that the most important thing for her now was to get pregnant quickly.
Ye Fuyun gave Cui Yongfang a perfunctory "hmm" and left quickly.
Cui Yongfang looked at Ye Fuyun's almost fleeing figure and smiled happily.
…
In the security office of the first factory.
Shen Yao solemnly took out his Hero brand fountain pen, unscrewed it and started writing.
His colleague Xiang Jialiang saw it and came over with sparkling eyes: "Chief Shen, this is not bad! This is a Hero brand fountain pen, it must be ten yuan. Your previous pens were so worn out, I thought you were reluctant to buy new ones, but you got such an expensive one right away."
"My wife gave it to me." Shen Yao's tone was full of pride.
Xiang Jialiang, a lonely man, became more and more envious.
"That's really nice. I thought you bought it yourself, and was wondering when you became so generous to yourself. Turns out it was a gift from your wife."
"My wife is indeed very generous to me, and of course, I am also very generous to her." Shen Yao seized the opportunity to show off.
When Shen Yao got married, everyone from the security department was there, including Xiang Jialiang. He had seen Ye Fuyue before and knew how beautiful she was.
Although the First Factory had its own family housing complex, not everyone lived there. Certain conditions had to be met to be allocated housing. For example, many people in the security department, including Xiang Jialiang, did not live in the compound.
Xiang Jialiang's face was full of undisguised envy: "Chief Shen, how can I find a good girl like your wife who is both beautiful and caring?"
"You won't find it." Shen Yao said without hesitation: "The conditions you mentioned, only my wife can meet them."
Xiang Jialiang: “…”
I know your wife is good, but there’s no need to be so exaggerated!
Xiang Jialiang didn't give up and continued, "If there's a suitable girl around your wife, could you introduce her to me? A girl who can be so close to your wife must be pretty good."
Chen Yao glanced at Xiang Jialiang and thought that this boy was quite smart and understood the principle of "birds of a feather flock together".
He said nonchalantly, "Okay, I'll let my wife keep an eye on you."
"Thank you, Chief Shen!" Xiang Jialiang smiled happily.
He suddenly thought again: "Oh right, let's pay the salary today, right?"
Shen Yao also suddenly thought of this: "Yes, the salary is paid today. After the salary is paid, I have to hand over all the money to my wife."
Xiang Jialiang was shocked: "You gave it all to your sister-in-law, what are you going to use for yourself?"
Shen Yao proudly showed off the Hero brand fountain pen in his hand: "If I need anything, she will see it and buy it for me."
Xiang Jialiang was extremely envious.
Another colleague in the office teased Shen Yao: "Chief Shen, I noticed that you have become a henpecked husband after getting married! Who would have thought that Chief Shen, who used to be known for his fierce reputation, would actually be a henpecked husband."
Before Shen Yao got married, he always had a stern face, which was scary. Those who worked in the same office with him didn't dare to say a few words to him, for fear of accidentally angering him and being scolded or beaten by him.
Since Shen Yao got married, he has obviously smiled more often, and they dare to occasionally make some harmless jokes to Shen Yao.
Shen Yao was not angry at all, but said proudly: "My wife treats me well, and I am happy to be controlled by her."
Everyone in the office laughed.
Xiang Jialiang envied her again.
Ahhh, he also wants to have a wife like this!
…
Today is the day when the factory pays wages, and Yao Hong naturally received his salary.
When he got home in the evening, with his salary barely warm in his pocket, Aunt Xie smiled and said to him, "You got your salary today, right?"
Zhong Lan, who was cooking in the kitchen, felt her hands tremble and pricked up her ears to listen to the conversation between Aunt Xie and Yao Hong.
"Yes." Yao Hong nodded and gave Aunt Xie the ten yuan he had prepared in advance.
Aunt Xie took the ten yuan, happily put it in her pocket, and asked, "Where's the rest of the money?"
Yao Hong said, "I'm going to give the remaining money to Zhong Lan."
Aunt Xie's expression turned extremely ugly, just as he expected. "What do you mean? You won't manage my money from now on?"
Yao Hong took a deep breath and encouraged himself, "Yes. I will still pay the ten yuan household allowance, but I will keep the rest of the money myself."
"What do you mean by keep it yourself? It means your wife wants to take control of your money. Zhong Lan? Zhong Lan! Come here and die!" Aunt Xie shouted towards the kitchen.
Zhong Lan took the food out of the pot and walked out expressionlessly.
Aunt Xie saw Zhong Lan and rushed over to slap her: "You little bitch, you actually learned to teach my son bad things! Tell me! What are you going to do with my son's money? Are you trying to subsidize your mother's family?"
Just as Zhong Lan was about to turn sideways to avoid Aunt Xie's slap, Yao Hong had already grabbed Aunt Xie.
"Mom, what are you doing? I'm already married, isn't it normal for me to manage my own money? When has Zhong Lan ever given any financial support to her parents? On the contrary, every time she goes back to her parents' home, she always brings back as much as possible."
During this time, Yao Hong specifically asked several of his married coworkers who managed their money.
Some are managed by themselves, some are managed by their wives, and only one is managed by their mother.
The worker whose money was managed by his mother was laughed at by everyone. They said that he was such an old man, but still had his money managed by his mother.
Although the coworkers whose wives managed their money were also ridiculed, Yao Hong would have five yuan in pocket money anyway, and as long as he had money in his pocket when he went out, it was almost as if he was in charge of the money.
It was after this experience that Yao Hong realized that people of his age would not have their mothers manage their finances.
At this moment, Aunt Xie became even more furious when she heard that Yao Hong was still on Zhong Lan's side.
"What do you mean you manage the money yourself? It's obviously your wife who wants to manage the money! She's the one who taught you bad things. She's the jinx of our family!"
Yao Hong frowned and said, "I'm married to her, so isn't it normal for her to manage my money? Aren't you and Dad also the ones who manage the family money? Why can't I be allowed to do the same when it comes to me?"
Aunt Xie was choked by Yao Hong's words and couldn't make sense of it. She could only continue to howl at the top of her lungs.
