As soon as Lin Guodong and Lin Yongnian came back from get off work, Zhang Jiao brought up the matter of money.
"Dad, you promised me that you would give me the money back after you paid off your debt. Now you still have some money left over after paying off your debt. Isn't it time for you to keep your promise?"
Zhang Jiao pointed at the table with a stern face.
Lin Yongnian smoked a cigarette without saying anything, then got up and left.
"Dad, what do you mean by leaving? Give me a word, whether you'll give it to me or not."
Lin Yongnian went straight into his bedroom.
Seeing this, Zhang Jiao tugged at Lin Guodong's sleeve and said, "Lin Guodong, what does your father mean by this?"
Before Lin Guodong could even open his mouth, his mother-in-law shouted, "Father-in-law, this grown man is so stubborn, you can't go back on your word."
Zhang Jiao said irritably, "This life is unbearable."
As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Yongnian came out of the room with a wad of money.
The angry Zhang Jiao and Zhang's mother were like chickens with their necks strangled, and they were suddenly silent.
Lin Yongnian sneered inwardly, but his face was expressionless. "668 yuan, count it."
Zhang Jiao looked embarrassed. Just as she was about to reach out to take the money, a pair of hands were faster than hers.
"Mom?" Zhang Jiao looked at her mother.
Mother Zhang spit on her finger and said with a smile, "Mom will help you count."
Zhang Jiao: “…”
When Lin Guodong saw his mother-in-law like this, he rolled his eyes slightly.
Mother Zhang counted the money with a smile, "668 yuan, not a penny more, not a penny less, OK."
"Jiaojiao, you agreed with Mom before. Your father-in-law gave you a betrothal gift and gave half to me and your father. I will divide the remaining 334 yuan now."
Zhang Jiao's mouth twitched. She had said this at the beginning, but now that the money had arrived and her mother wanted to take 334 yuan, she felt reluctant to part with it.
"Heh..." Lin Guodong sneered.
Zhang's mother naturally knew why Lin Guodong was laughing, but she pretended not to hear and continued to divide the money.
"I'll keep this 334 yuan betrothal money first." Mother Zhang happily put the money into her pocket.
Zhang Jiao reached out to take the remaining money with a gloomy face, but her mother pulled her hand back.
"Don't worry, Guodong agreed before that I would take care of you for half a month and give me 20 yuan. Taking care of you is too hard. Now that I'm home, I have to cook for your family of four, right? And I have to take care of Junjun too. 20 yuan is not enough."
"Add another ten yuan, ten more yuan." Mother Zhang took out ten yuan.
Lin Guodong couldn't help but said, "Mom, hiring a nanny won't cost more than ten yuan a month, not to mention you're only taking care of Zhang Jiao for half a month."
Zhang's mother glared at him. "The nanny is only responsible for cooking and doing housework, but I have to take care of patients and children. This is completely different."
"Heh..." Lin Guodong sneered again, then turned away and didn't want to talk anymore.
"The doctor said, Jiaojiao, you need to eat more nutritious food to replenish your body. The food must be well prescribed. I'll take ten yuan for these food expenses first. When you run out, I'll ask you for more."
Zhang's mother took out another ten yuan and gave the rest to Zhang Jiao.
Zhang Jiao looked at the money that was half gone, smiled bitterly, and reached out to take it.
Her mother calculated every penny clearly with her.
When Lin Yongnian saw this scene, he also laughed inwardly. It is true that what kind of mother you raise is what kind of daughter you raise.
He used to think that Zhang Jiao, his daughter-in-law, was better than Liu Qin. In fact, they were essentially the same, except that Liu Qin was more direct than Zhang Jiao.
"You guys take a rest, I'm going to the kitchen to cook." After saying this, Zhang's mother went straight to the kitchen.
Lin Guodong was unhappy and left the living room with a cigarette in his hand.
Zhang Jiao knew that Lam Kwok Tung must be unhappy because her mother took away so much money, but what could she do?
Oh her god, she did say that before, can she still say no now?
Li family
The elderly Mr. Gu did not go out fishing. After breakfast, he and his wife went to Li's house to play chess with Mr. Li.
"Isn't this jacket I'm wearing nice? It was made by Shushu. She was afraid that we would be cold at home, so she specially made this comfortable and warm jacket for us to wear at home." Grandpa Li patted the cotton-padded jacket on his body proudly.
Mr. Gu nodded with some envy, "It looks good."
Actually, it’s not that good-looking, but it’s definitely very comfortable to wear at home. The most enviable thing is the child’s filial piety.
Old Mrs. Yu also touched the cotton-padded jacket on her body and said, "Putting on this jacket, and the pajamas I wear underneath, I don't feel cold at all at home. It's very comfortable."
Mrs. Gu said, "This is really good. Tomorrow I'll ask a tailor to make two sets like this for me and Old Gu."
"Shushu is such a filial child. Even though this coat isn't worth much, it keeps me warm while also keeping me warm."
Old Mrs. Yu smiled and nodded. Whenever she thought of the coat she was wearing, which was made by her own Shushu, she felt happy.
"Ding Dong Ding Dong Ding Dong..." The doorbell rang.
Nanny Wang made tea, put it on the coffee table, and hurried to take a look.
Sister Wang opened the door and was startled to see the person outside. Then she turned and said to the inside of the house, "Mr. Zou is here."
"Mr. Zou, please come in."
Mr. Li and Mr. Gu stood up.
I was thinking: Why is this old Zou here?
As soon as the man walked through the entrance and entered the house, Old Man Li greeted him with a smile, patted Old Man Zou on the shoulder, and shook hands with him. "Old Zou, why do you have time to come to my place again?"
Mr. Zou jokingly asked, "Why, you're not welcome?"
Mr. Li also joked, "I said you're not welcome, are you going to turn around and leave?"
Mr. Zou: "Haha, you..."
"Have a seat," Old Mrs. Yu said with a smile. "Xiao Wang, bring another teacup."
Mr. Zou greeted Mr. Gu and his wife with a smile and sat down on the mahogany sofa chair.
"Old Zou, you never come to the palace for no reason. Tell me, what brings you here this time?" Old Master Li said while pouring tea from a teapot.
Mr. Zou kept it a secret and said, "I came here this time to tell you something good. It's also a happy event."
When Mrs. Mu heard this, she frowned.
Happy event?
(Already added, but I have another chapter to write later, so I'll replace this picture with the previous one, making it a two-in-one. Yes, I failed to hit the punctuality again.)
