"Do your job well!" Huo Wenyuan smiled, his eyes narrowed. "I believe your wife won't treat you unfairly!"
What?
Huo Zhixing was stunned for a long time before he could react.
"I say... what's wrong with you these days? You're always spacing out?" Huo Wenyuan looked at him with disdain, he couldn't believe that the successor he had personally groomed was now completely empty-headed except for his handsome and dashing face.
"Grandpa," Huo Zhixing forced a smile, "I don't understand what you mean..."
"What I mean is, you should do your chores properly for your wife and not let her overwork! Our Cancan isn't unreasonable. I heard you have some kind of... allowance? Cancan will increase it a little as appropriate!"
"..."
Huo Zhixing gazed longingly at his young wife, while Jiang Can laughed so hard she almost fell over.
So in the end, he's still just a wage earner working for his wife?
All right……
They've already signed a labor contract for all eternity; in life I belong to her, in death I belong to her, and in the next life, and the life after that, forever.
Huo Zhixing patted Jiang Can's head, his gaze full of affection, and sweetness overflowed from the corners of his mouth, impossible to hide.
As dusk fell, the group chatted and laughed for a while before gradually leaving.
Before leaving, Yin Ruohong not only gave Huo Zhixing the tonics and medicines he had brought from Southeast Asia, but also secretly slipped him a black card.
Huo Zhixing was taken aback and stared at him with wide eyes.
"Keep your mouth shut, don't let your mother-in-law know." Yin Ruohong suppressed the corners of his mouth, trying hard to maintain his arrogant posture. "Anyway... I'm not exactly rolling in money, this is all I can give you!"
Huo Zhixing was already very moved by all of this.
It's a black card, after all, with no spending limit!
Yin reimburses all the bills; that could buy so many cigarettes...
Yes! In crucial moments, you still have to rely on your father-in-law.
Huo Zhixing laughed heartily, and in his excitement, he couldn't control his voice, uttering three words in a loud and clear voice: "Thank you, Dad!"
"Oh my god..." Yin Ruohong almost stumbled and tumbled down the stone steps.
He stared wide-eyed at him as he turned around, and at that moment, Yin Wenxi, who was walking in front, also turned around.
"What are you talking about?"
Yin Ruohong's heart skipped a beat, and she opened her mouth, managing a hamster-like smile.
Huo Zhixing's hand trembled, and with a snap, the black card fell to the ground.
Yin Wenxi, with her sharp eyes, immediately realized: "Oh, so you, Yin Ruohong! You have a secret stash of money?"
"No, no..." Yin Ruohong hurriedly waved her hands, sweating profusely, and turned to point the finger at Huo Zhixing, "This is his! He hid this card!"
"Dad, you..."
You old bastard!
It's one thing to frame me, but to shout it out like that!
Did you deliberately let Can Can hear you?
At that moment, Jiang Can indeed turned around.
However, she didn't turn around to scold him. Instead, she walked gracefully to his side, took his hand, and smiled gently.
"Honey, I got that black card back from last time, didn't I?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Huo Zhixing replied hastily.
So... this one isn't yours, is it?
Huo Zhixing shook his head like a rattle-drum.
"Wife, if I ever hide any money from the heavens, may I be struck by lightning!"
When Yin Ruohong heard him dare to make a sarcastic remark, she got angry: "You little bastard..."
"Dad, this is wrong of you!" Jiang Can pretended to be serious. "It's one thing for you to hide money from Mom, but you also want to drag my husband down with you? You're really despicable!"
“Yes!” Yin Wenxi crossed her arms, narrowed her eyes, and slightly raised the corners of her lips.
Yin Ruohong knows her too well; the angrier she gets, the more she laughs—that's her signature move.
Judging by the way they're laughing now...
Yin Ruohong quickly said a few nice words, trying to smooth things over, "Wenxi, I just feel sorry for my son-in-law! He's a grown man, and our daughter is exploiting him so much. I feel bad seeing him like this..."
Huo Zhixing scoffed lightly, putting on an expression that said, "Thank you."
Jiang Can covered her mouth and chuckled secretly, her laughter exceptionally joyful.
Yin Wenxi, with her keen insight, was not fooled by those few words. She slowly walked to Yin Ruohong's side, her smile catching him completely off guard, and then suddenly pinched an acupoint on his wrist...
"Awooooo!" Yin Ruohong yelled without any regard for her image.
How many cards do you have left?
"Three more!"
"Hand it all over!"
At Yin Wenxi's command, Yin Ruohong's slush fund was confiscated.
She smiled with satisfaction, and finally picked out the black card and gave it to Huo Zhixing.
"Mom, this..." Huo Zhixing hesitated for a moment. He couldn't take this hot potato!
"It's okay, this is from Mom!" Yin Wenxi looked at him lovingly, then at Jiang Can, "My daughter will definitely agree, right?"
Jiang Can said playfully, "Mom, you feel sorry for your son-in-law, of course I have no objection!"
"Okay, take it!"
Huo Zhixing then accepted it with a relieved smile.
Yin Ruohong stood obediently to one side, holding the chubby orange cat in his arms. The chubby orange cat seemed to feel sorry for him, meowing several times, while also pondering in its mind:
What bad luck! The two guys I've worked with are both incredibly poor!
Will we still be able to eat canned yellow croaker in the future?
well……
Jiang Can watched her parents walk away with Fatty Orange, her eyes and brows filled with happiness.
My dad is so good to my mom, just like Huo Zhixing is to me.
She was genuinely happy for her mother.
"Honey, it's chilly outside, don't stand at the door for so long." Huo Zhixing draped a thin sweater over her shoulders and urged her to go back inside.
Jiang Can nodded, and as soon as she returned to the house, she heard the landline ring.
