Beidu compound.
The Fan family hasn't been doing so well lately. Zhou Xuehua hasn't received a single penny of her much-anticipated salary; Fan's father has already given it away.
That would be disastrous.
Zhou Xuehua didn't have much money left to begin with, barely enough to make ends meet for the past month, and now she's completely broke.
When Fan's father returned home that day, he found his whole family staring at him expectantly, and the children's stomachs were growling: "Why didn't you cook?"
Feeling guilty, Zhou Xuehua naturally didn't dare to reveal that she had no money. Instead, she made up an excuse: "I went out to run some errands today and just got back. I'll do it now."
She shrank back as she headed towards the kitchen, but hesitated, unable to resist tentatively asking, "Honey, what's your salary this month...?"
Fan's father didn't even look up: "Since you're not very good at managing money, you can keep your salary in my hands from now on. Ask me if you need anything, and give me whatever's left at home."
Zhou Xuehua's face turned pale instantly.
Not to mention that her father-in-law won't give her his salary anymore, she also wants the remaining money. Where would she get any left? She has absolutely nothing left now. She even plans to make do with the leftovers for dinner tonight and then figure out what to do next.
In the past, Zhou Xuehua would have dared to cause trouble, but after her father Fan laid a hand on her last time, she became somewhat hesitant.
Swallowing hard, he had no choice but to agree: "Okay."
Only then did he take a difficult step toward the kitchen, quickly giving his daughter, Fan Yunli, a meaningful look.
Fan Yunli smiled and said, "I'll go for Mom, it'll be faster that way."
I don't know what's wrong with the family now. They used to be very harmonious, but now Fan's father really can't stand the sight of his wife and daughter no matter what.
Why? It's all because of that incident involving Fan Yunyan going to the countryside.
As for Fan Xiaofan's matter, Fan Yunli knew that her father didn't care that much.
Fan Yunli followed him into the kitchen, and Fan's father asked about Fan Yunlang's studies. Now that his youngest son would inherit the family business, he naturally paid more attention to him than before.
Fan Yunrong rubbed her stomach, which was growling with hunger. Her father said, "Is there no more food at home? Have something to eat to tide you over..."
Normally, Fan's father considers himself a loving father who doesn't hit or scold his child and is genuinely kind to him. However, he believes that men should be responsible for external affairs and women for internal affairs, and that Zhou Xuehua should be in charge of all household matters.
But as it turns out, Zhou Xuehua couldn't do it well.
Fan Yunrong cheered with delight. All these things in the house were kept carefully, and no one was allowed to take them without an adult's permission.
In the kitchen, Zhou Xuehua, distracted and fearful, said while cooking, "Daughter, what should I do? How can I explain this to your father? I have no money left..."
"What?"
Even Fan Yunli exclaimed in surprise, "Mom, Dad's salary is quite a lot, where did it all go..."
Zhou Xuehua gave her daughter a complicated look: "What do you think? I want to prepare the best for you in everything, but the money just disappears without me realizing it."
Fan Yunli was taken aback. She didn't think she spent much money on herself, and immediately panicked, saying, "Mom, you can't tell Dad this has anything to do with me! Dad already dislikes me enough; if he finds out about this, he'll beat me to death..."
She looked at Zhou Xuehua with pleading eyes, and Zhou Xuehua nodded quickly. She loved this daughter the most, how could she harm her daughter?
But when she thought about how to explain this to her father, she was at a loss. It was Fan Yunli who spoke up: "Just say that you gave the money to your second sister."
