Chapter 12: Stingy
In the afternoon, He Yugang brought the money over, a total of thirty yuan, and a small bag of brown sugar for Lian Yuqing to replenish his body.
Lian Yuqing watched Wei Dong put the money into his pocket without blinking.
As soon as He Yu left, she put her hands on her hips and asked, "What do you mean? Isn't this my compensation?"
Wei Dong: "The money was originally given to you by me. I also bought you the broken things again. You can drink the brown sugar. I'll ask mom to kill a chicken to nourish your body in the next two days."
"You..." He pointed his finger but couldn't speak, "You are awesome."
Wei Dong watched her turn around and slam the door shut, his hands in his pockets stroking the surface of the money.
Wei Miaomiao discovered that her elder brother and sister-in-law were arguing again.
Chen Caiqi listened to the boss and killed another chicken. Although she was unhappy, the stewed chicken was served on the table.
Lian Yuqing buried his head in the food. He didn't eat much and his chopsticks only went towards the pot of chicken.
The hall was quiet, with only the sound of chopsticks hitting bowls. At this time, Wei Ximin suddenly spoke up: "Qing'er, I heard that the girl from the old He family was subdued by you?"
"Well, she doesn't dare to come out and jump around anymore."
In fact, the old couple of the Wei family knew what that girl was thinking about their eldest son. In the early years, Chen Caiqi was quite fond of He Xiaoshan because she was young and lively, and was the daughter of the village party secretary. He originally wanted to find a matchmaker to go to the He family to propose marriage, but was scolded by Wei Ximin.
Wei Dong had a childhood marriage with a man in the capital, but Chen Caiqi didn't care. She thought that they were from a wealthy family, how could they marry their daughter to a peasant like you? But Wei Ximin disagreed, so she had to give up.
Unexpectedly, the Lian family actually married Lian Yuqing, but she was just a young mistress who could not be criticized or scolded.
Chen Caiqi looked worried: "Her father is the Party Secretary. What if he makes things difficult for our family?"
"He was not elected as the branch secretary by the villagers," Wei Ximin said unhappily.
Before Chen Caiqi could say anything, Wei Dong reassured her, "Mom, if he dares to do anything, write me a letter or send me a telegram, and I will handle it."
"Okay, okay."
With a bang, Lian Yuqing threw the chopsticks on the table, stood up and left.
Speaking of He Xiaoshan, Lian Yuqing thought of the money embezzled by Wei Dong. This man was so stingy that he was reluctant to give his wife even a single dollar. After deducting twenty dollars from the money, the remaining ten dollars were not earned by her hard work, but he didn't take it all. What a scum!
Chen Caiqi looked unhappy, thinking that her daughter-in-law was targeting her, "This..."
"Mom, she's angry with me, leave her alone."
"Husband and wife can't always quarrel. She is from the city and is pretty. Just be more accommodating to her." Chen Caiqi advised with sadness between her brows. It is not possible to marry a city girl. If Dongzi could marry a village girl, he would be much happier.
Wei Ximin: "Dongzi, Qing'er is your wife, don't bully her."
Wei Dong didn't think he was bullying Lian Yuqing. He could buy her what she wanted, but he couldn't give her money.
During this cold war, Wei Dong did not sleep on the floor, but there was a big rift in the middle of the one-meter-wide bed, so Lian and Qing were far away from him.
They are leaving tomorrow, and after work Chen Caiqi is busy packing things for her son and daughter-in-law. In fact, she had started preparing before, but there are too many things.
In the end, Wei Dong persuaded Chen Caiqi not to pretend to be too much, as he couldn't handle it all by himself.
Chen Caiqi was stunned. That's right. Don't even expect someone like Yu Qing to be able to take things. Look, she is taking out what she put in.
In the afternoon, Wei Dong returned to the room and Lian Yuqing finally spoke to him.
But the first sentence was, "Give me ten dollars."
"No." The refusal was decisive.
Lian Yuqing rushed to him and said, "We haven't divorced yet, you should give me money to support the family."
Wei Dong's beautiful eyes reflected her aggressive look, "Okay, I can give you 10 yuan a month."
"Then I'll take a ten-month advance."
After a while, Wei Dong smiled and said, "We haven't divorced in ten months?"
Lian Yuqing felt that his laughter was humiliating her, and she was so angry that her face and neck turned red, "What about the breakup fee? I divorced you, and you didn't give me a dime?"
"Wei Dong, I am indeed a pampered person and cannot endure hardships, but the failure of this marriage should not only be my fault. Ask a man which man would abandon his wife on the wedding night. In the final analysis, it is you who is sorry for me."
"Ten dollars as a breakup fee. I'll leave happily after I give it to you."
She was so confident in her words that the atmosphere instantly became cold. Lian Yuqing thought that Wei Dong would have to pay her money no matter what.
"I'll give you this money. I'll probably spend it in less than two days. I'm just an ordinary person. No matter how hard I work, it won't be enough for you to squander. I won't give you 10 yuan. I'll give you 1 yuan on time every month."
He left after he finished speaking. Lian Yuqing was so angry that he threw his pillow on the ground again and cursed: "Are you still not a man?"
Wei Miaomiao came to help. Lian Yuqing had too many clothes, so he found a few pieces that were suitable for Wei Miaomiao and gave them to her.
She was totally at a loss, "No, sister-in-law, I'm here to help..."
"Why are you being so polite? Don't you call me sister-in-law all day? Just wear it if I give it to you. I can't wear so many by myself."
Lian Yuqing glared at her and was about to get angry, but Wei Miaomiao accepted it with a red face.
"Where is your brother?" Lian Yuqing asked casually.
Her hands paused as she was folding clothes. She realized that he couldn't be asking about her second brother, but only her eldest brother. Wei Miaomiao said, "I just saw him borrow the bicycle next door. He should be going to town."
Lian Yuqing snorted coldly, and he was definitely going to eat and drink delicious food, taking her hard-earned money.
"Miao Miao, you must never date a stingy man in the future, especially the kind who looks honest and quiet, but is actually very stingy behind your back!"
"Your brother is a man who probably won't be able to find a wife without me. If you have time, persuade him to change his ways and stop being so obsessed with money. You can't bring it with you when you're born and you can't take it with you when you die."
Wei Miaomiao was puzzled. Big brother is not stingy. But Lian Yuqing was still mumbling, so she smiled and said, "Okay, I will persuade him."
Wei Dong came back late at night and went to return the car next door. Chen Caiqi heard the noise at the door and came out to see that it was her eldest son. She couldn't help but nag: "Dongzi, where have you been since this is your last night?"
"I had a few drinks with my high school classmates. Mom, you should go back to sleep."
"Have you eaten? How about I make you a bowl of noodles?"
"I'm full, please stop making trouble."
Wei Dong looked towards his room and saw the light was still on.
