The other party's words left Fang Zhiqiang with no room for bargaining.
Carrying a debt of five hundred taels, Fang Zhiqiang temporarily gave up the idea of borrowing money to continue gambling and making a profit.
His mind was full of thoughts about how to find the five hundred taels to return to the gambling house.
It is impossible to make money in the gambling house again.
He could borrow but could not pay it back, and there was no money left at home.
Fang Zhiqiang returned home in a daze, only to face the quarrel between his mother and his wife again.
When Fang's mother saw Fang Zhiqiang coming back, she ignored Wang Cuihua and rushed directly to Fang Zhiqiang.
"Qiangzi, did you take my mother's thirty taels of silver?!"
Fang Zhiqiang frowned, suppressing his impatience, "Yes, what's wrong?"
"Qiangzi, that's my retirement money. You took it away without telling me. How will I live in the future?
You return the silver to mother."
Fang's mother stretched out her hand as she spoke.
Fang Zhiqiang probably didn't expect his mother to actually ask him for money directly. He was stunned for a moment, "Mom! I gave you that thirty taels of silver! What's wrong with me taking it and using it for a while?!"
"You call that taking? You call that stealing!"
Fang's mother stamped her feet in anger, "I don't care about all this, you have to give me the money anyway. How can I support myself in my old age without it?
Anyway, Qiangzi, you have so much money, what are you going to do with your mother's retirement money? "
Fang Zhiqiang, who was already feeling the pressure of the 500 taels debt, felt disheartened when he heard his mother say this.
He had thought that if he told his mother about his debt, she would comfort him.
They would even offer to help him find money to pay off his debts.
But now it seems that he doesn't need to say anything about it.
I'm afraid if he tells his mother, she will scold him severely.
Fang Zhiqiang looked at Wang Cuihua who was standing at the door looking at him worriedly, and felt relieved. He ignored his mother and walked straight towards Wang Cuihua.
"Qiangzi!"
Before Fang's mother could finish her words, she saw that her son ignored her and shouted at Fang Zhiqiang angrily.
Fang Zhiqiang paused, without even turning his head, "Mom, it's getting late, go to bed early."
After saying that, he pulled Wang Cuihua back to the house.
Mother Fang gritted her teeth, her hatred towards Wang Cuihua reached its peak!
If it weren't for that little bitch Wang Cuihua, how could her Qiangzi treat her like this!
Now her son has become estranged from her and she has lost all her money!
But what about that little bitch?
She got Qiangzi's heart, the money he earned, and she was pregnant with Qiangzi's child!
The little bitch has it all!
If Fang's mother's eyes could become reality, Wang Cuihua would have been killed by her eyes long ago!
"Fang Lang, what happened? Is it possible that the thirty taels of silver that mother gave me isn't enough?"
As usual, Wang Cuihua showed Fang Zhiqiang her gentleness, kindness and thoughtfulness.
"Did mother tell you about the silver?"
Fang Zhiqiang turned his head and saw a red mark on Wang Cuihua's cheek.
He frowned, reached out and held Wang Cuihua's face and looked at it carefully in the candlelight.
"Did your mother hit you?!"
Wang Cuihua's eyes flashed and she turned away, "Not my mother."
Wang Cuihua said no, but her expression and behavior clearly showed that it was Fang's mother.
"I'll go ask Mom!"
Fang Zhiqiang was about to stand up and go out to question him angrily.
Wang Cuihua quickly held him back and said, "Don't go, Fang Lang. Mother only thinks I took her money, that's why she's like this.
Everything will be fine once the misunderstanding is resolved. I don't blame my mother, and you don't have to ask her anymore, otherwise she will definitely scold you too.
I don’t want you to be wronged because of me.”
Fang Zhiqiang was very touched. Cuihua was such a good daughter-in-law!
He hugged Wang Cuihua tightly, "Cuihua, I'm sorry for wronging you, but don't worry, I will never let you down in this life!"
"I don't feel wronged, as long as you treat me well, Fang Lang."
Wang Cuihua snuggled in Fang Zhiqiang's arms, her voice gentle and her eyes disdainful.
Fang Zhiqiang felt relieved, but when he thought of his 500 taels of debt...
"Cuihua, do you have any money?"
He remembered that he had given Cuihua at least one hundred taels of silver in scattered amounts before.
He would think of some other way to raise the remaining four hundred taels of silver. If that didn't work, he could sell the house where Cuihua used to live to raise the money.
Wang Cuihua didn't know that the man beside her was already thinking about her house.
But she is not a scheming person.
Fang Zhiqiang's question made her alert.
He stole his mother's pension money and asked his wife if she had any money.
It was obvious that Fang Zhiqiang had no money!
But he had earned so much money before, where did it all go?!
Wang Cuihua roughly thought of a few guesses in her mind and replied calmly, "Yes, there is some, but not much left. Fang Lang, do you need money?
How much do you need? Let me see if I have enough here."
Fang Zhiqiang didn't dare to say five hundred taels directly, "About a hundred taels, I need to make some turnover."
Wang Cuihua's eyes flashed, "Then I really don't have enough. I only have ten taels of silver."
"Only ten taels of silver?!"
Fang Zhiqiang exclaimed in disbelief, "Didn't I give you more than a hundred taels of silver before?! How come there are only ten taels of silver left?
Where did you use it all?!"
Wang Cuihua suppressed her emotions and said, "Fang Lang, since I married you, I have been paying for all the expenses of the family.
Also, the wedding dress and other things I needed when I married you were all bought with the money you gave me.
I didn’t buy anything for myself, all the money was spent on this family.”
Wang Cuihua spoke while shedding tears and stroking her bulging pregnant belly with one hand.
When Fang Zhiqiang saw Wang Cuihua's tears and pregnant belly, his heart softened again.
"Cuihua, I misunderstood you. These expenses are indeed huge. Please give me ten taels of silver first. I need the money to make ends meet.
When I make money, I will give you more silver!"
Fang Zhiqiang first painted a big pie for Wang Cuihua.
Wang Cuihua wiped her tears, stood up and found ten ingots of silver to give to Fang Zhiqiang.
Fang Zhiqiang was happy for only a moment as he juggled the silver, then he said casually.
"Cuihua, now that you and I are married, it would be nice for us to live together in this big blue brick and tile house.
Then the house you used to live in is useless as it's empty, why don't we sell it?
Besides, that house was earned by your ex-husband, and now you are my wife, you can’t just leave it there.”
Wang Cuihua really didn't expect that Fang Zhiqiang was not done with his plan to get her ten taels of silver, but also had his eyes on her house!
That house is her last resort!
If she divorces Fang Zhiqiang in the future, at least she still has a place to live!
Unlike Ying Xixi, who was kicked out after her divorce and almost had to live in a haunted house.
No matter what that housekeeper said, she would not let Fang Zhiqiang have any ideas!
