Chapter 5 Machismo
Nan Nan noticed something was wrong between her parents. She slowed down the process of putting noodles into her mouth and her eyes, like black grapes, began to look back and forth.
Song Rui wiped the tomato soup from the corner of her mouth and told her to eat seriously.
Nan Nan raised her head and laughed, then shook Ling Ye's arm, "Dad, don't be angry. Anger is ugly."
Ling Ye's frozen brows seemed to melt, and he tapped her forehead with a smile.
"You little brat, you know to tell your dad not to be angry, but why don't you know to tell your mom to take the money?"
Nan Nan listened and tilted her head in confusion: "Dad, why are you angry when Mom doesn't take the money?"
Song Rui also looked over there, she also wanted to know why.
Ling Ye didn't look at her and said as a matter of course: "Because your mother is my daughter-in-law, she should spend my money."
ha.
Song Rui was left speechless by his words.
She knew that he was a male chauvinist, but she didn't know he was to this extent.
She quickly hugged Nan Nan into her arms and said to Ling Ye: "Please don't teach my daughter bad things. My daughter can't rely on a man to raise her when she grows up. It would be fine if the man is good, but if he is a treacherous and unreliable man, how will my daughter live?"
Ling Ye glanced at her and said, "Of course my daughter doesn't need it. I will support her if she doesn't get married."
"You should take care of yourself first."
After he was released from prison in his previous life, there was no news of him.
I heard that he fell seriously ill in prison and his health collapsed.
Song Rui guessed so. After all, considering how much he loved his daughter, he would not fail to show up in front of Nan Nan if he had the energy to do so.
He never showed up, probably because he was afraid of being a burden to his children.
Thinking of this, she raised her head and looked at Ling Ye seriously.
Ling Ye looks fierce and has an intimidating aura, but he is actually a very good-looking person.
He has a regular face and fair skin. Although he doesn't smile much, when he does, he has two fangs, which is in stark contrast to his stern face.
It's just that she hasn't seen him so young and high-spirited for many years.
She looked at him a few more times, and Ling Ye's gaze softened a bit.
Pointing his finger at the pile of money, he asked casually: "I agree that you can earn money yourself, so you are willing to accept it?"
"Take it! Why not?"
They are still husband and wife, so she should accept it without any preconditions.
After all, divorce can only be dealt with later.
With Ling Ye's patriarchal mentality, he would not easily agree to a divorce even if there was no love between them.
How to convince him is another difficult task.
When Ling Ye heard her say so confidently that she would accept the money, instead of feeling unhappy, he felt a sense of satisfaction.
He stuffed the money into Nan Nan's arms and said, "This is for your mother."
Nan Nan was confused and didn't know how much money it was, but she knew that she could exchange it for a lot of delicious food.
He quickly stuffed it under his butt as if afraid it would be snatched away, and sat firmly.
"Keep it, Nan Nan, keep it. You won't go hungry if you have money!"
She spoke in a childish voice, but everyone who listened to her stopped smiling.
Song Rui said tentatively: "I want to go to the street later to buy some firewood, rice, oil, salt and other things, so that we can cook and eat in our house in the future, so that Nan Nan won't be scolded for eating something."
As long as parents are alive, the family will not be divided.
The Ling family did not split up, they all worked from the same pot.
Her proposal sounded like she was preparing to split up the family business and start her own business.
This is no small matter in anyone's family, and she was prepared to be rejected.
She had thought it through. Since she couldn't cook herself, the worst that could happen was that she would take Nan Nan out to eat at noon every day.
Anyway, there are people around to pay for it.
This thousand yuan is enough to last for several months.
By then, the marriage will probably be over.
But Song Rui didn't expect that Ling Ye would agree so immediately.
"Okay, I'll go with you later. Shen, you can't carry it by yourself."
"What about my parents..."
"I'll go and tell them."
Ling Ye finished the noodles in the bowl and stood up, "Come on, get dressed, and go now."
Song Rui had some idea of his efficiency.
It’s best not to mention anything. Once you mention it, do it immediately.
She and Nan Nan had just eaten their fill, so they thought it would be good to digest the food, so they found their cotton-padded jackets, dressed neatly, and went out together.
Before going out, Song Rui glanced around the room.
The west wing doesn’t get much sunlight, so the room is always dim. Fortunately, it’s located in the northeast, otherwise it would be very damp.
The house is not big, with two rooms in total, one for living and the other for cooking.
The kang occupies half of the living room.
There were two large wooden boxes placed side by side at the end of the kang, with bedding neatly stacked on top of them.
There were two wooden cabinets placed side by side on the floor, near the west window, and two chairs and a small table.
This is all the family property they have now.
Song Rui was glad to return to her daughter's childhood.
She felt a little depressed just thinking about the money she had already given to Song Baohe.
If all the money was spent on their family of three, how could the family be in this state?
She looked towards her home, sighed deeply, and followed Ling Ye out.
When Ling Ye heard this, he hugged Nan Nan and looked at her, as if thinking about something.
He Jinyan, who was in the east room, saw the three of them were about to go out together, and hurriedly stuck her head out, as if she had forgotten what had just happened.
"Xiao Rui, are you going out? Bring back some fried cakes for my Xiao Jun!"
Song Rui stretched out her hand and said, "Give me money!"
He Jinyan has had this problem for a long time.
It would be fine if He Jinyan didn't see her when she went out, but if she did, she would have to let her take the things with her.
What I eat today and drink tomorrow and use the day after tomorrow are not expensive, but she never pays for it.
As time goes by, it becomes a considerable expense, which is a great pressure for Song Rui, who is extremely poor.
She also asked He Jinyan for it several times.
But what did she say?
Putting her hands on her waist, she said, "Ouch! You're asking for such a small amount of money back! You gave so much to your brother, why don't you want to come back? Now you're settling accounts with your in-laws, you really can't tell the difference between inside and outside!"
Once the topic of supporting my younger brother is brought up.
This is the problem that Song Rui cannot solve.
The lame leg of her brother is something she will never be able to get over.
But now she doesn't care about that anymore.
If you don't have money, you can't take anything.
He Jinyan didn't expect that she would ask for money, and her eyebrows raised as she wanted to scold her.
When she saw Ling Ye, who was walking in front of her, looking back at her, she shrank back in fear again.
"If you don't want to bring it, then don't bring it. What's the big deal?"
He muttered something and shrank back.
She just didn't believe that Ling Ye was always at home.
There will be many times when he is not at home, and I will settle the score with Song Rui then!
Song Rui could guess what she was thinking.
In the previous life, when Ling Ye was at home, life for mother and daughter would have been much better.
But he often leaves for a month or half a month.
In her previous life, she was too embarrassed to always complain about these trivial women's matters whenever he came back.
Song Rui has nothing to be embarrassed about now, but she also knows that if she wants to protect herself and her daughter, she has to rely on herself the most.
Unless Ling Ye volunteers, no one can restrain this wild dog.
