Chapter 1543: Unreasonable Trouble 3
"Frugal? Bah, if you want to find someone who is thrifty, then don't marry me!" Shen Qing scolded Su Meixiang when he got home that night. Su Meixiang was furious. "The root cause is that you don't have the ability to make money. Look at what the wife and children of the army commander are wearing. Look at me, I'm not even as well dressed as his children!"
Shen Qing's face was not only blue, but also black, as black as ink.
"Su Meixiang!" he growled, "Don't go too far. Why drag the army chief's sister-in-law into this? Her sister-in-law has been here for more than a month, and she doesn't wear new clothes and shoes every now and then like you do. You want to buy clothes and shoes, I didn't stop you, there's nothing wrong with liking to dress up, you are my revolutionary partner, I should meet all your needs, even if the old soldiers in the army want to buy an imported watch when they have money, this is human nature. I just want you to keep enough living expenses for you and your children to eat before buying what you want, don't let you and your children go hungry, it's not a pleasant feeling to be hungry."
"Who said I was hungry? Who said I starved your son? Who said that? Ask him to come over and confront me! More than ten years ago, he couldn't even have a meal like this, and now he's being picky." Su Meixiang put her hands on her hips, glaring.
When Shen Feng saw his parents arguing, he was so scared that he huddled up in a ball and hid in his room, not daring to say a word.
He also wanted to eat meat. He hadn't eaten meat for a long, long time. Only when his father was at home would he go to a restaurant with his father to eat peach blossom noodles. The roasted pork and braised eggs in the noodles were delicious, but he didn't dare to say it for fear of being beaten by his mother.
Seeing that his wife had no remorse, Shen Qing felt a little tired and held his forehead. "Okay, okay, I can't argue with you, so I won't say anything. Is that okay? From now on, I'll give you 150 yuan every month. You can do whatever you want. If you want to buy clothes, buy clothes. If you want to buy shoes, buy shoes. I'll leave the remaining 50 yuan to Shen Feng for living expenses."
Su Meixiang glared at him and said angrily: "Shen Qing, does your son eat gold? He spends fifty yuan a month?" Fifty yuan can buy more than two kilograms of wool yarn to knit a sweater for herself.
"Are you letting Shen Feng eat meals that cost only a few cents every day?" Shen Qing finally got angry, "Are you a mother?"
At noon, soup is one cent, vegetables are five cents, and rice or a steamed bun is at most five cents. The total cost of a meal is less than 20 cents. Su Meixiang also eats vegetables. The cost in the morning and evening is a little less. A bowl of noodles is only eight cents. If she feeds the child like this, can Shen Feng spend fifty cents for three meals?
"Why am I not a mother? Have I ever starved him for a meal?" Su Meixiang retorted.
"You didn't starve him, you just made him live a life of hunger and not starvation, not giving him any meat to eat, and not buying him a new piece of clothing for three years." Shen Qing said coldly, "You only think about yourself, and only want to dress well and pretty so that people will praise you like a flower. Don't you think about it? Which sister-in-law in the compound who is respected relies on her clothes and appearance?"
"Okay, you are not happy with me, right? If you are not happy, then don't marry me. You should marry someone who is thrifty, well-educated and well-mannered. After you married me, I climbed to the position of group leader by relying on my mother's family's influence, and now you turn your back on me!"
When Shen Qing heard this, his face suddenly changed color.
