After saying that, Ling Jiang stood up and walked out.

Li Li chased after him relentlessly, "No matter what you do, you are the son-in-law of the Li family. When you married me, you said in person that you would treat my parents as your own parents. It's only been a few years, do you take your words for granted?!"

Ling Jiang stopped and turned to look at his wife. His eyes no longer had the cowardice and gentleness they once had.

"Over the years, what have I, as a son-in-law, not done well? How many times has your brother gotten into trouble, and it wasn't Chuanzi and I who cleaned up his mess? How much of the money I earn every year do you use to support your parents? I have said a word about it, right?

Li Li, please have some conscience. You only think about your mother who is in jail now. Have you ever thought about how our family will live in the future?

Mom, she not only ruined my reputation, she also destroyed my job. How can I continue this business in the future? "

Li Li was left speechless by her husband's words.

Ling Jiang went to the room where Ling Chuan and Yun Mo used to live.

Li Li followed into the room soon after. Seeing her husband bending over to make the bed, she asked, "Why are you tidying up this room so late at night?"

Ling Jiang replied without even turning his head: "I will sleep in this room from now on, and you and Jiale will sleep in the main room."

Upon hearing this, Li Li's face changed.

She quickly grabbed her husband's hand to stop him from making the bed. "Just make your point clear. What do you mean?"

Facing Li Li's questioning, Ling Jiang simply turned his face away and said, "We will sleep separately from now on."

Li Li's face trembled, and then she pointed at him with her eyes wide open, "Okay, we're going to separate the beds, right? If you have the guts, you can sleep here for the rest of your life and don't even step into my room!"

Li Li slammed the door angrily and left. Ling Jiang stood in the room like a wooden stake for a long time, then bent down and continued to make the bed.

"dad."

Looking at his daughter who had been standing behind him at some point, Ling Jiang tried hard to force a smile.

"Chunhua, it's getting late. Go back to your room and go to sleep. You have to go to school tomorrow."

Ling Chunhua rarely obeyed, but hugged her father's legs, tilted her face up and said softly: "Dad, I want to sleep with you tonight, okay?"

Children are naturally insecure, especially when they see their parents arguing.

Compared to most children who are attached to their mothers, Ling Chunhua prefers her father who is good to her.

It was a rare occasion for his daughter to act like a spoiled child, and Ling Jiang's heart softened.

He smiled and touched his daughter's head. "Okay, then go get your pillow and quilt. Daddy will make the bed first."

"good!"

Looking at his daughter's cheerful back, Ling Jiang's worries suddenly eased a lot.

It was late at night and Li Li tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.

Ever since Ling Jiang followed Ling Chuan to work on the construction site, she has become accustomed to staying alone in the empty house. Sometimes she even feels uncomfortable when her husband comes home.

Since her husband doesn't sleep in the same room with her, she should feel quiet and at peace, but she feels empty and indescribably upset.

Because she realized that her husband was different from the past, which made her feel uneasy, as if something was out of her control.

the next day.

Ling Jiang woke up as soon as the sun rose as usual. He opened his eyes and saw his daughter curled up beside him sleeping. Then he remembered what happened yesterday and his mood became heavy again.

Li Li was obviously still angry about what happened last night. When she saw Ling Jiang coming out of the side room, she turned cold and said nothing.

Ling Jiang didn't say anything. He first fetched water to fill the water tank, then found the washbasin to wash and brush his teeth.

Li Li made breakfast, which consisted of clear porridge and coarse grain steamed buns.

Although the Ling family is not rich, they are not so poor that they cannot afford to eat.

In the past, Li Li took care of everything at home and outside, and Ling Jiang never asked any questions. He ate whatever Li Li cooked and never complained.

But during this period, Li Li was not at home, and Ling Jiang lived on his own for a while. Suddenly, he realized that his wife seemed to have lived too tight a life in the past two years.

Not to mention the debt the family owed a few days ago, in the past two years, the debt has been paid off. He brings at least thirty yuan home every month, plus the living expenses paid by Lingchuan, it comes to forty or fifty yuan a month.

Not to mention eating meat every day, it’s okay to eat rice and noodles every meal.

But the fact was that the family ate coarse grains for every meal, and there was no oil or meat in the cooking. Even eggs became a luxury. He once thought that the family was so poor that they could hardly make ends meet.

During this period, he and his daughter ate white flour, rice, eggs, and occasionally meat, and did not spend much money.

It's okay for him, it's just that he barely eats. His daughter Chunhua is in the growing period, and she has not gotten enough nutrition for a long time. Now she is 6 years old, but she is not as strong as her brother Ling Jiale. She has only gained a little weight by following him during this period.

It would be understandable if his wife saved the money herself, but he knew in his heart that at least half of the money saved would be used to support her parents' family.

No father could tolerate withholding his own daughter's food rations to support her family.

"From now on, boil two eggs every morning, one Chunhua and one Jiale. Also, when the whole grains at home are finished, don't buy more. From now on, buy white flour and rice."

Li Li got angry when she heard that and threw her chopsticks on the table. "Lao Ling, you are looking for trouble, right? You want to eat fine grains and live a good life, don't you? Don't you look at your family? Do you have the conditions? An egg costs 8 cents, and if I cook two eggs a day, it will cost 5 yuan a month.

Do you know how much a pound of white flour and rice costs now? If you eat it every day, how can you eat it without spending any money? You are just talking about it, why don’t you pay for it?”

Ling Jiang nodded, "Yes, I have troubled you these years. From now on, I will be the head of this family. If there is anything missing at home, just tell me and I will buy it back."

"What do you mean? Are you suspecting that I have hidden some private money?"

"You didn't?"

Li Li was furious and slammed the table. "Old Ling, do you still have any conscience? We have a big family and everything we eat, wear and use costs money! Is the little money you earn every month enough for us?"

Ling Jiang looked at her and said, "I don't earn much, but you should tell me, where did you spend the rest of Chunhua's 50 yuan tuition?"

Li Li was like a deflated ball, and she suddenly became limp.

Seeing that it was getting late, Ling Jiang didn't want to continue arguing with his wife. He had to finish his meal early and go out to the stall. He spent a lot of money to apologize to the Wei family yesterday, so he had to earn it back as soon as possible.

Thinking that Li Li was there, Ling Chuan did not take his daughter out as usual. After breakfast, he pushed his bicycle out.

After her husband went out the back door, Li Li glared at her daughter who was eating steamed buns, and slapped her hard in the face.
