"Didn't you say that girls are like water spilled from a bowl? You, a water spilled from a bowl, take such good care of your own family, so why aren't you nicer to your daughter?"
Fang's mother got angry when she heard this. She said that she was pitiful at her parents' home and that she would live a good life with her third son after marrying into the family.
It's all bullshit. This woman is full of lies, just trying to trick her and the third son into marrying into the family.
"My family will always have to rely on my son. No matter how filial a daughter is after she's married, she's still someone else's family..."
As Liu Zhaodi spoke, she suddenly realized that perhaps her mother thought the same way about her.
No, her mother wouldn't do that. Her mother has liked her so much these past few years.
She gets to drink sweet soup when she goes back, a privilege her younger sisters don't receive. Her mother treats her very well.
Fang's mother sneered, "You still know that a daughter belongs to another family after marriage? Then why are you still supporting your own family every day? You're really in Cao Ying but your heart is with Han!"
"I don't······"
After saying three words, Liu Zhaodi saw Fang's mother's sneer and didn't dare to argue further.
She did indeed take most of what she and Fang He received back to her parents' home.
Fang's mother stopped wasting words with her and directly stated her decision:
"From now on, you can hand over all your salary for pocket money. You don't need to keep any for yourself anyway, because you won't be able to give it to your husband and children. If you're not happy about it, go back to your parents' home and let them help you find someone better. It'll also let everyone see how your family's money is recovered after it's been spilled."
This daughter-in-law is ugly in one eye; she's practically the rat droppings in her house.
She was glad that her family hadn't split up and she was still in charge; otherwise, this woman would probably have moved the whole family back to her parents' house.
"Mom, you can't be so unfair. If I have to hand it all over, then my second sister-in-law has to hand it over too."
When it came to the pocket money she kept, Liu Zhaodi suddenly became quite clever.
"Don't give me any more talk about fairness or unfairness. Your job was found by our family. If we tell you to hand it over, then hand it over. If you don't, then go back to your parents' house and give back your job."
Fang's mother said to her without any politeness, showing her absolutely no decency.
"I...didn't I say I'd make it up later? Can't I make up for two more months?"
Liu Zhaodi still wanted to try, after all, it was six yuan a month, and she didn't want to give up.
Fang He spoke up from the side:
“Liu Zhaodi, you told me back then that you did everything at your parents’ home and still didn’t have enough to eat. I felt sorry for you and married you against my mother’s wishes. But you can’t see your own daughter wearing your brothers’ tattered clothes, yet you’re always concerned about your parents’ home, asking for meat one day and candy the next. You turn around and go to your parents’ home to be filial to them. Is this how you feel wronged?”
He looked at the woman in front of him and could hardly believe that this was the woman who had once made him feel sorry for her.
"I know I was wrong, Mom. Dahe, I'll hand over all my salary from now on, okay?"
Seeing the unfamiliar look in Fang He's eyes, Liu Zhaodi was terrified and forgot all about the six yuan.
She was afraid that the man would be heartless and send her back to her parents' home. Her son hadn't been born yet, so how could her younger brother support her?
No, if she takes her husband's family's money and things back to her parents' home like this, can her younger brother really support her?
Her mother kept telling her that her daughter would belong to another family in the future, and that she needed to give birth to a son to secure her position.
Since she has no son, she can only rely on her brothers from her maternal family to support her.
She gradually came to believe this, bringing all the good things to her parents' home. The pampered moments she experienced back home made her feel arrogant.
She felt that her mother was right. She had a job but wasn't considered part of her husband's family, so she could only visit her parents' home occasionally.
But if Fang He really doesn't want her, how will her brother support her?
"Hand over all your salary, and you have to get back the money you lent out, or don't say I'm heartless as your mother-in-law." After saying that, Fang's mother went straight into the house.
After Fang's mother entered the house, Fang He coldly pulled Liu Zhaodi back inside.
He stared at her for a long time before coldly asking:
"Did you take all the fabric and seafood that my mother sent back to your parents' home?"
"I don't·······"
"Don't try to deny it. The house isn't that big. Do you think I wouldn't see where things are? Here's the money I've given you over the years! Give it to me!"
He suspected that the woman had given all the family's money to her parents' family.
"I've left it here. What do you need the money for now?" Liu Zhaodi asked guiltily.
"Leave it there?"
Fang He snorted coldly, then unceremoniously reached out his hand: "Give it all to me. I need to buy things for my daughter. I'll manage the household finances from now on."
He used to genuinely feel sorry for his wife, so he entrusted all his money to her for safekeeping.
Now he can see that his wife is completely biased towards her own family.
After giving her the money, neither she nor her daughter would see any benefit whatsoever, so it would be more practical to take it back and keep it for themselves.
"Why should we? In every family, the wife manages the money. She's just a little girl, and we're not short of food or drink. Why should we buy her anything?" Liu Zhaodi said unhappily.
She was initially hesitant to pay because she felt guilty, but when the man said he was buying things for a little girl, she became indignant.
I've never bought anything for myself growing up, so why should I buy it for her?
"The wife manages the money? Fine, but as the man of the house, I should at least be able to check on our own money, right? Where is the money?" Fang He asked again.
He's not going to argue with her now; he just wants to see the money today.
"...Of course I'll keep it, what's so interesting about it!" Liu Zhaodi said in a low voice.
She couldn't come up with that much money; she had lent more than a hundred to her family.
Fang He laughed and immediately started calculating the accounts with her:
“You’ve been married into my family for four years, and we’ve never let you buy anything that costs more than ten yuan. I’ll give you ten yuan every month, which is one hundred and twenty yuan a year, and four hundred and eighty yuan in four years.”
Not long after you gave birth, your family found you a job and you started working. Your mother gave you six yuan a month, which added up to nearly two hundred yuan.
In my memory, all of our daughter's things belonged to her brothers. You never bought her anything, and our parents took care of all our food and clothing. If you spent 100 yuan over four years, you should have at least 500 yuan left. Where is the money?"
Fang He explained each point clearly and explicitly, and then reached out his hand again.
"I..." Liu Zhaodi was speechless; of course, she couldn't produce it.
She still had about a hundred yuan left, and she had just lent two hundred to her younger brother to help him get married.
Liu Zhaodi was shocked to realize that she had spent more than 300 yuan on her parents' home when she bought things for them.
If Fang He hadn't calculated it today, she wouldn't have known that she had given her family so much money and gifts.
That's terrifying, especially since she doesn't even know how she gave it away.
"Not a single penny?" Fang He's voice grew louder.
