Debt collector?
Shi Mianzhi's face immediately darkened.
However, considering that they were there to ask for money, he tried his best to appear as a loving father and husband.
He sat down first, then poured himself a cup of tea.
"The tea here at Qiu Niang's place is much better than the tea at mine."
Shi Mianzhi's tone was a little sarcastic, but that didn't stop him from drinking three cups in one go.
He Qiuniang looked on with regret:
It's such a waste that tea worth a thousand taels of silver per tael goes into a dog's stomach.
No matter how good my mother is, you're still just a blade of grass.
Even if others treat it like trash, you still treasure it.
"You still want to drink my mother's tea? Would you drink it if I made you pee?"
A resentful, childlike voice rang out.
Shi Mianzhi was scolded by this little baby voice as soon as he entered the door.
Listening to it now just feels incredibly annoying.
"Someone, take the young lady out. I have important matters to discuss with my wife."
Upon hearing this, Shi Yu became agitated and unhappy.
[You scumbag dad, don't even think about bullying my mom.]
[Are we still talking about serious matters?]
Everyone knows you owe Wei Yanyan's cousin's family 100,000 taels of silver.
Since they couldn't come up with the money, they set their sights on my mother.
You're really good at manipulating things; you're practically spitting money in my face.
Using a woman's dowry? Aren't you afraid of being drowned in spit if word gets out?
My mother's eyesight is somewhat questionable.
Otherwise, why would she have chosen a scumbag father like you who lives off a woman?
My mother's dowry money will be mine in the future.
Anyone who dares to use my money, I'll make sure they pay.
When Shi Yu curses, it's because he can't distinguish between friend and foe.
And any money that has anything to do with her is hers.
"Heh~" Shi Mianzhi heard a cold laugh.
What an ignorant and arrogant brat!
He saw this child as a wicked creature, a monster.
"Sir, what do you want to do?"
Noticing Shi Mianzhi's unusual behavior, He Qiuniang quickly took Shi Yu out.
Shi Mianzhi casually withdrew his outstretched hand.
Just now, for a fleeting moment, he wanted to strangle his daughter.
If it weren't for his daughter's heartfelt words, he wouldn't have been so embarrassed in front of all the guests.
"I just want to see our little daughter."
Shi Mianzhi suppressed the gloom in his eyes and put on a gentle, human-like demeanor.
"Qiu Niang, it's really kind of you to go out and greet Yan Yan despite your weakened state after childbirth."
"You are usually very considerate, generous, gentle and respectful."
"I was not happy when I went to the Wei family today."
"They treated me poorly, probably because my gift was too small."
Shi Mianzhi sighed softly.
He considered himself a scholar, concerned with his reputation and refined taste, and never directly asked He Qiuniang for money or valuables.
He only ever sighs.
Whenever someone uttered a few words of lamentation, He Qiuniang would feel a pang of heartache and generously give them money.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
Shi Mianzhi maintained a somewhat stiff, melancholic and aloof posture.
He wondered:
Why hasn't He Qiuniang thrown silver notes at him this time?
Whenever he was so sad, she would be the one who couldn't bear it and would pull out a huge stack of banknotes for him.
"Qiu Niang?"
"Hmm, what is it? Is something wrong, sir?" He Qiuniang looked up.
"Look, do these clothes of mine not fit properly? Do they need to be remade?"
Shi Mianzhi spread his arms and deliberately spun around in front of He Qiuniang.
He Qiuniang glanced at it casually, "It seems quite suitable."
"If the master wants new clothes, just ask the new madam to make a few new sets."
Shi Mianzhi: So my attempt to use my good looks just now was in vain.
snort!
[My goodness, can't you see that your scumbag father wants money from you?]
[It's hilarious how this scumbag dad wants both money and a virtuous image.]
Shi Yu smiled in He Qiu Niang's arms.
Her mother did a good job today; she wasn't fooled by her scumbag father.
He Qiuniang pretended not to understand and looked up at Shi Mianzhi.
Master, are you trying to ask me for money?
With a "pfft!", Shi Mianzhi angrily flung his sleeves and left.
It's utterly disgraceful to scholars and to the dignity of intellectuals.
How could someone as high-ranking as the Vice Minister of the Court of Imperial Sacrifices possibly ask a woman for money? It's a joke.
He is so handsome, and he is also the third-ranked scholar appointed by His Majesty.
He deserves to be the one receiving money from women!
Shi Yu: You scumbag dad, where do you get your confidence from?
Shi Mianzhi: Just look at your mother's love-struck brain; she loves me to the point of being hopelessly infatuated.
He Qiuniang: That's all in the past.
[Haha, that scumbag dad still wants money from my mom.]
As long as I'm around, you won't be able to get a single penny out of my mother's pocket.
Shi Yu clenched her little fist, her face serious.
[Go on, go on, hurry back and beg your new wife for money.]
If you two are short of money, go borrow from loan sharks.
Oh, right, my mother has so much money, why doesn't she lend it out at exorbitant interest rates?
[It was specifically given to my scumbag father and stepmother.]
[When the time comes, threatening him with an enormous bill will definitely force him to divorce his mother.]
Haha, I'm so smart!
Ha ha ha ha……
Shi Yu laughed with great joy.
But after laughing for a while, her pretty little face fell.
What happened this time?
He Qiuniang looked on with concern.
I'm such a pitiful baby, sob sob...
He Qiuniang: Why are you crying?
