As soon as Chen Xiaoru finished speaking, Chen Laizi jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on, waving his hands repeatedly: "No more gambling! Whatever my daughter says is what I do! From now on, all the money in the family will be under your management. I... I won't keep a single penny!"
His henpecked appearance amused Chen Xiaoru. She secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that although Chen Laizi was a scoundrel, he could still be saved. At least he was afraid that his wife and children would leave him.
"Dad, are you serious? From now on, I will be in charge of the family's money." Chen Xiaoru deliberately frowned and pretended not to believe it.
Upon hearing this, Chen Laizi became anxious and swore to the heavens, "It's true! It's truer than gold! If I bet on this again, then... let me be struck by lightning and die a miserable death!"
Chen Xiaoru burst out laughing and scolded, "Dad, you're talking nonsense again! I didn't say you can't spend money, I just told you not to gamble anymore. The family money should be spent as it should be spent, otherwise what's the point of earning it?"
Chen Laizi finally felt relieved and chuckled, "My dear, that's right."
Chen's mother was watching from the side, and her heart was also filled with joy. Her husband was finally controlled by her daughter. She smiled and said to Chen Xiaoru: "Xiaoru, your father is a confused guy. You have to pay more attention to him in the future."
"Don't worry, Mom. I know what's going on." Chen Xiaoru said, turning to Zhou Si and saying, "Zhou Si, let Mom take your measurements later. I'll use the cloth I bought today to make you two new sets of clothes. Look at you, your clothes are so tattered!"
Zhou Si was stunned, a little bit unable to believe his ears. He secretly glanced at Chen Xiaoru and muttered to himself: Is there a share of the cloth brought back today for me?
Chen Xiaoru's behavior has been very abnormal these days. She has really changed a lot.
Zhou Si couldn't help but think back to the past when Chen Xiaoru had hit him many times. He became even more confused. Is this still the same person who would swing his fists at every turn?
"What are you daydreaming about?" Chen Xiaoru's voice suddenly rang out, interrupting Zhou Si's thoughts.
Zhou Si came back to his senses, lowered his head quickly, and whispered, "Nothing... nothing."
Chen Xiaoru looked at his cautious expression, feeling a little amused, yet also feeling a strange emotion. She cleared her throat and said, "After dinner, let me take your measurements and make you two new sets of clothes."
"Ah?" Zhou Si suddenly looked up, looking surprised.
"What? Don't you want new clothes to wear?" Chen Xiaoru asked with a deliberately stern face.
"No, no..." Zhou Si waved his hands quickly and explained stutteringly, "I... I am..."
He kept saying "that's it" for a long time but couldn't explain it clearly. His face turned red. Finally he said "OK".
