Jiang Yongxian became increasingly agitated.
He originally planned to stay in Beicheng and completely break free from his parents, but he never expected things at home to develop like this.
But if Peng Cuiying really went to his workplace to make a scene, what would others think of him? His career would be completely over.
He could only agree, "Alright, alright, I should support you. I'll give you twenty yuan a month for living expenses from now on, okay?"
Peng Cuiying was just angry and acted impulsively. After calming down, she still didn't want to ruin her promising eldest son.
With a stern face, she still threatened, "Fine, from now on, every month when you get your salary, don't forget to give me the money, otherwise, don't blame me for causing trouble at your workplace!"
"Okay, okay, you can go now!" Jiang Yongxian waved impatiently at Peng Cuiying.
After Peng Cuiying left with five yuan, Jiang Yongxian returned to the courtyard house he had bought.
He and He Nian would basically stay at the He family's house for half a month each time, in the courtyard house he bought.
When he got home, He Nian was carrying a large bag of clothes back.
She was also wearing a brand new, fitted red dress.
As soon as she entered, He Nian lifted her skirt and twirled around, pouting coquettishly as she asked Jiang Yongxian, "Honey, does it look good?"
He Nian is rather short and plump, with dark skin. The red, fitted long dress not only made her waist look like a barrel, but also made her appear even shorter and plump.
Jiang Yongxian forced a smile and nodded, "She looks good. My wife is beautiful; she looks good in anything."
He Nian immediately burst into laughter, pounced on Jiang Yongxian and kissed him, saying, "Honey, you're getting better and better at talking now."
Guess how much this dress costs?
Upon hearing the word "money," Jiang Yongxian's smile became even more strained, but he still managed to guess, "Fifty yuan?"
He Nian curled her lip, "What good stuff could such cheap clothes be? Is it worthy of me wearing them? Guess again."
She playfully shook the arm that was hanging around Jiang Yongxian's neck.
Jiang Yongxian put his arm around He Nian's shoulder and said, "Nian Nian, I want to discuss something with you."
"What's wrong?" He Nian turned to look at Jiang Yongxian, her eyes full of sweetness.
Jiang Yongxian looked at He Nian's expression, his eye twitching imperceptibly. He forced a smile and said, "Nian Nian, Jiang Yiran has disappeared. When we bought this house, my parents gave us all their savings. Now my mother is all alone in Beicheng, struggling to make ends meet. I think..."
"What are you thinking!" Before Jiang Yongxian could finish speaking, He Nian's expression changed instantly, and he said sternly, "Jiang Yongxian, let me tell you, the money your family paid for this house was my dowry."
"You only spent a little money, and you expect me to bring that old woman here to live out her days and take care of her? You're dreaming!"
“Niannian, wife…” Jiang Yongxian quickly reassured her, “I didn’t plan to bring my mother to live with us. I just wanted to say that my mother lives alone there, and she has to spend money on rice and vegetables. I was thinking of giving my mother fifty yuan a month for living expenses, and then giving you all the rest of my salary. I won’t keep a single penny. Is that okay?”
"Fifty yuan!" He Nian shrieked angrily. "Jiang Yongxian, what are you pretending to be, a big shot? Your monthly salary is only one hundred and seventy-eight yuan. You're going to give that old woman fifty yuan? Have you lost your mind?"
"I don't care about all that. I'll only give the old woman twenty yuan a month at most, not a penny more!" He Nian said arrogantly and coldly.
Jiang Yongxian breathed a sigh of relief and quickly agreed, "Okay, okay, twenty it is. My wife is the best. Honey, don't get angry over such a trivial matter. It will break my heart if you get sick from it..."
He Nian's expression softened, she gave Jiang Yongxian a coquettish look, then snuggled back into his arms and punched his chest, "At least you still have some conscience!"

Meanwhile, Chen Ping, who had been staying at the train station for three days, finally couldn't take it anymore and yelled at Qin Tieniu, "Qin Tieniu, I'm going home! Whoever wants to stay in this crappy North City can stay, but I'm not staying here anymore."
When Qin Haiyang first left Beicheng, the Jiang family treated them quite well, not only paying their rent but also giving them fifty yuan for living expenses.
Two days ago, they ran out of living expenses and their rent was due, so when they went to find the Jiang family again...
They didn't even get to see the Jiang family members before being kicked out by the security guards at the entrance of their residential compound.
Niu Chunhua was furious and prepared to go find Jiang Yiran and tear that little rascal apart.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Yiran also disappeared, leaving only Peng Cuiying in the house.
As soon as Niu Chunhua poked her head out, Peng Cuiying scratched her. Not only did Peng Cuiying scratch her, but she also told her that her good son was going to get shot.
Niu Chunhua didn't believe it at first, but Peng Cuiying threw a stack of Sichuan newspapers at her.
Niu Chunhua couldn't read, so she asked someone to read it to her with some skepticism. Her most prized son, Qin Haiyang, had really committed a serious crime, and it was almost certain that he would be shot.
Niu Chunhua felt like the sky had fallen, and she sat on the ground and started wailing.
After they finished wailing, the landlord learned that her promising youngest son was not only in jail but also facing execution, so she ruthlessly kicked them out.
The family had nowhere to go, and they didn't even have the money to buy train tickets back. They were stranded at the train station.
When Chen Ping lost her temper, her son also yelled, "I don't want to live in this stinky train station, I want to go back to live in a big house!"
