Chapter 412: Suffer a little loss and be a bad guy
When Bai Chenguang came back, he was drunk and he took a shower before lying down on the bed.
Zou Wan frowned, "Why did you drink so much? Did you drive it back by yourself?"
"How can that be? That's drunk driving. I have to go in! I took a taxi back. By the way, did your parents say how many days they'd stay? How about you take a couple of days off and take them to buy some clothes?"
Bai Chenguang thought that since his father-in-law and mother-in-law rarely came to visit, it was only right for him to let his wife take them shopping for some things.
"Ask for leave? Don't deduct my salary if I ask for leave! It's okay, let them go shopping on their own. By the way, my mom said she wants to stay at our house for a few days and look after Ranran. I think my parents are tired from taking care of Rongrong, so let them take a break."
"Well, okay, you decide."
Zou Wan paused, looked at her husband and whispered, "My mother said that Ajie wanted to buy a house and was short of money, so I gave him 10,000..."
"Is ten thousand enough? You don't have any spare money, but I have the money my mother gave me. How about..." Bai Chenguang asked hurriedly before his wife finished speaking.
"You have a lot of money, don't you? I managed to scare my mom into giving me money. I have to use my monthly salary to pay for the children's tuition and the food and drink expenses at home. Anyway, she made me look very pitiful. And you jumped out to give me money. Are you stupid?"
Zou Wan slapped her husband hard, calling him such a fool.
Bai Chenguang was unhappy when he heard this and said, "You said that and my mother-in-law thought I was a gigolo. All my salary is handed over to the government. You don't take the money my parents give to the children. I save it. You are the richest in our family. Besides, it's a good thing for Ajie to buy a house. It's okay for you to lend him some money, right? We are all family."
Bai Chenguang and his sister have always had a good relationship since childhood and have no financial worries. Naturally, he doesn't understand Zou Wan's worries.
Zou Wan rolled her eyes at her husband and asked angrily, "Is he borrowing it? He's asking for it for free. I bet you that he won't even pay me back for the ten thousand I gave him. If he really had no place to live, he would have bought the house, but he already has a house to live in, so it doesn't matter whether he buys a new one or not."
Bai Chenguang glanced at his wife and asked in a low voice, "Then you really won't lend it to me?"
"No, I will give it to you. If I borrow, I will pay it back. If my mother asks you anything, just don't let her know. Our family's money is all in a deposit. I won't take it out. Anyway, my image now is just that of a poor worker."
Zou Wan was a smart person since she was young, and she was particularly concerned about money. No one wanted her to suffer a loss in money. Of course, the betrothal gift was an accident. It was her mother-in-law who was quick to give the cash directly to her parents. She couldn't stop it even if she wanted to.
Bai Chenguang shrugged his shoulders when he saw this, and said helplessly: "Okay, I'll take a loss and be a bad guy."
The next day, while her daughter was still putting on makeup, Zou's mother quietly walked up to her son-in-law and said with a smile, "Chen Guang, Ajie said he wanted to buy a house, but he's short of money. I was thinking if you two have enough money..."
"Mom," Bai Chenguang raised his head and looked at his mother-in-law curiously, "Didn't Awan say she borrowed 10,000? Why is it not enough?"
"Uh," Zou's mother was stunned and thought to herself, this eldest daughter actually told her son-in-law, I thought she gave it to him secretly! She also wanted to take advantage of the time difference and get some more from her son-in-law.
"Huh? Mom, why aren't you talking?" Bai Chenguang waved his hand in front of his mother-in-law.
Zou's mother touched her head awkwardly after she realized what was happening, and said, "Well, ten thousand is not enough. You know how expensive houses are nowadays. You can get a loan, but you have to pay interest. We can't let the bank make money from this. It's better to pay in full."
Bai Chenguang touched his chin and said embarrassedly: "Oh, that's really unfortunate. We have also used our money to buy funds. Now it is stuck and we can't take it out. How about Ajie wait a little longer and lend it to him when I take out the money?"
"Ah, then how long do we have to wait? What is a fund? What did you spend your savings on in the past few years?"
Zou's mother was anxious. She said, "You said this young man is unreliable. How could he spend all the money on that chicken?" She was so anxious.
"Yes, that's right, Mom. I have bought this fund for several years. I bought a little bit every year. If I want to get my money back, I have to wait. But Ajie can't wait." At this time, Zou Wan walked out of the room and said with a smile.
"Hey, when did you come out?" Zou's mother was startled and looked at her eldest daughter guiltily. She didn't know whether her daughter heard what she had just said to her son-in-law.
Zou Wan raised her chin and said casually, "It came out when you asked A Guang for money."
Zou's mother felt even more embarrassed when she heard this. She glanced at her son-in-law, and quickly pulled her daughter's hand and said, "Hey, look at you, child. You are so old but still have no sense of propriety when you talk. When did I ask Chen Guang for money? Well, I made porridge and salted duck eggs this morning. Eat quickly and go to work. If you are late, you will be fined."
"Don't want money anymore?" Zou Wan joked to her mother.
Zou's mother immediately slapped her daughter and complained, "You little stinky girl, what nonsense are you talking about? Even food can't stop you from talking."
"Okay, take Ranran downstairs to play later. We won't be back for lunch. There's money in the drawer of the coffee table. You and Dad can buy groceries and cook for yourself. There are wontons for Ranran in the refrigerator. Just give her ten."
"Okay, I can still starve your daughter!"
…
At the Bai family, Jiang Xinbai held the hand of the third sister-in-law Bai Qianqian and said with a smile: "Third sister-in-law, you can rest assured this time! Rongrong is also married, you don't have to worry about her anymore."
"Oh, that's all thanks to Jiabao. He's a good middleman." Bai Qianqian smiled so much that her eyes narrowed.
"Then his work was not in vain. Xiao Fang's family also gave him a red envelope with two thousand yuan in it!" Jiang Xinbai was not greedy for the two thousand yuan, but felt that what Xiao Fang's family did made him feel comfortable.
"That's what Jiabao deserves. I have also prepared a red envelope for him. Xiaobai, take it to him when you go back." As she said that, Bai Qianqian took out a red envelope from the drawer and handed it to Jiang Xinbai.
Jiang Xinbai quickly pushed the red envelope back and said with a smile: "Third sister-in-law, how can I accept your red envelope! Rongrong is also Jiabao's sister, it's only natural for me to help my sister."
Bai Qianqian stuffed the red envelope into Jiang Xinbai's hand and said, "That's different. This is matchmaker money, and we have to accept it. Hey, if Li Rongrong gives birth to the child next, it will be perfect."
Jiang Xinbai had no choice but to accept the red envelope. "Okay, I'll accept the red envelope for Jiabao. Hey, it looks like matchmaking is a good job. You see, there are two red envelopes for each one!"
"Hey, you're right. I'm bored now, so matchmaking is a good idea." Bai Qianqian also said.
"Speaking of matchmaking reminds me of the past. When I was young, didn't I help to make a few matchmakings? My second sister-in-law from my husband's family was jealous and also learned from me to be a matchmaker. She ran around outside every day, but she actually made a few couples and earned a lot of money as a matchmaker."
"Oh, really? Then why didn't your second sister-in-law act as a matchmaker later?"
"Of course she didn't. She used to work part-time as a matchmaker in her hometown, but her performance was mixed. She stopped after she came to Shenzhen. After all, she was unfamiliar with the place. Besides, young people nowadays prefer to date on their own, so it's not easy to be a matchmaker."
"Oh, so that's how it is..."
"Ding ding, ding ding," suddenly, the phone at home rang. Bai Qianqian picked it up and panicked when she heard it. "What, Ranran is missing?"
