Chapter 50 Fu Yuanshan's Plan
Jiang Jianhua paid the money under Song Yushuang's watchful eyes, and his hands and feet were shaking as he went home holding the revised account book.
Song Yushuang gave her a chance to mend her ways.
Ask her to go back and give Yun Tangyin the cleared account book and the key to the cash box at home.
The key was at home, so Jiang Jianhua had to take the account book and go home first.
But as soon as she pushed open the door, she saw Fu Yuanshan stuffing food coupons into his luggage bag. She slammed the account book on the table with a bang: "Are you still hiding things? Fu Yuanshan, do you have any shame?"
Fu Yuanshan turned around abruptly, the fierceness in his eyes still lingering: "Mind your own business! Wait until your brother Jiang Zhicheng comes, and see how I'll deal with you!"
"Deal with me?" Jiang Jianhua rushed over, snatched the bag, and poured out the food coupons. "Now you're hiding even the food coupons from me? Just now you were acting like a decent person in front of Mom, and now you want to run away with the money?"
Fu Yuanshan snatched the food coupons and stuffed them into his arms: "Why would I run? These are mine! But you, you were so slow to pay the money. If Mom hadn't spoken up for you, do you think Yun Tangyin would have let you go?"
"I owe you the money!" Jiang Jianhua grabbed the pillow and threw it at him. "If you hadn't asked me to cook the books, would I have been manipulated by that little bitch? Now you've cleared yourself!"
Fu Yuanshan dodged to the side and sneered, "Who said Yun Tangyin was just a young lady and didn't spoil her at all? Now that something's wrong, you're pushing it onto me. Jiang Jianhua, have some shame!"
"I have no shame?" Jiang Jianhua suddenly sat on the sofa and burst into tears. "I didn't even dare to go back to my parents' home because of you, and you're so determined to divorce me! Do you think Yun Tangyin will believe you after the divorce? She's been keeping your affairs in mind for a long time! Just admit that you are interested in her!"
Jiang Jianhua cried so hard that he was out of breath, his face was red, and his speech was incoherent.
Jiang Jianhua would do the same when they quarreled in the past and got angry. Fu Yuanshan was used to it and would often just slam the door and let her do whatever she wanted.
But this time…
Fu Yuanshan's face darkened. He walked over to her, squatted down, and suddenly reached out to wipe away her tears: "I was so anxious just now that I shouldn't have mentioned divorce."
Jiang Jianhua raised his head abruptly, his eyes full of vigilance: "What tricks are you trying to play?"
"What tricks can I play?" Fu Yuanshan sighed, his voice softening. "We are husband and wife, we share the same fate. Yun Tangyin is watching us, and if we divorce now, won't it be a good opportunity for her to laugh at us? I was wrong, okay?"
He picked up the handkerchief and handed it to her: "Think about it, Jiang Zhicheng will be arriving in Northeast China soon. After all, your brother's last name is Jiang, so he has connections. When he arrives, we can borrow some money from him and ask him to put in a word with the leaders of the troupe. By then, not only will I lose my housekeeper power, but maybe I can even return to the troupe as an executive, right?"
Jiang Jianhua's eyes moved: "Zhicheng can help us? He wrote to me last time and said that he got married and only wanted to..."
"Why not?" Fu Yuanshan held her hand, rubbing the back of her hand with his fingertips. His peach blossom eyes softened, making people indulge in him. "You are his sister-in-law. How can he watch you being bullied by Yun Tangyin? Besides, we helped him gain a foothold in the Northeast. How can he not repay us?"
Jiang Jianhua bit his lip and said nothing, but curled his fingers quietly.
That's true...
She knew that Jiang Zhicheng was very concerned about his reputation. As long as she cried poor in front of him and told him how Yun Tangyin had made things difficult for her, he would definitely stand up for her.
Seeing that her expression relaxed, Fu Yuanshan moved closer to her, put his arm around her shoulders and coaxed her in a gentle voice:
"Just think of it as us putting on a show for Yun Tangyin today. When we have helpers, we can hold our heads high in front of Yun Tangyin and let her know who is the boss of the Fu family. Wouldn't that restore your reputation?"
"Really?" Jiang Jianhua's eyes lit up, then quickly dimmed. "But the account book is in Yun Tangyin's hands, and I have to give her the key. If she keeps an eye on it every day..."
Fu Yuanshan interrupted her directly: "She can watch her, and we can do ours. She has no right to control who you get close to."
At this point, she lowered her voice again: "Go to the supply and marketing cooperative tomorrow and buy two feet of good cloth, make Mom a new dress and send it to her. I'll cry to her a few more times, saying that I know I was wrong and that I will live a good life in the future. Mom will be soft-hearted and will definitely side with us."
He paused, tapping the back of her hand with his fingertips. "As for Yun Tangyin, she must be very busy since she just started managing the accounts. Let's deliberately mention Jiang Zhicheng in front of her and say that he is our family connection."
"When Jiang Zhicheng and his wife come, we'll tell them we want to treat him to a meal and have Yun Tangyin pay for the food. She's in charge of the bills now, so if she doesn't agree, she'll be disrespecting her relatives."
Fu Yuanshan suddenly laughed.
Jiang Jianhua's eyes lit up as he listened. He grabbed Fu Yuanshan's hand and asked, "What about the industrial voucher issue? If she still keeps pestering me..."
"Silly wife." Fu Yuanshan pinched her cheek. "Go to the factory tomorrow and return the industrial voucher. Just say you forgot to register it and are now making up for it. Then you can cry to the director. At most you'll get a few scoldings."
Seeing that Jiang Jianhua had relaxed, he leaned closer to her ear and said, "When this is over, I'll take you to the department store and use my own money to buy you some vanishing cream, the kind with jasmine scent that Yun Tangyin uses. I'll apologize to you, okay?"
Jiang Jianhua finally burst into laughter and punched him in the face: "Why didn't you say that earlier? You were just trying to act tough with me! You're so capable!"
"Okay, okay, I was wrong." Fu Yuanshan took her into his arms and rested his chin on the top of her head.
"If we work together, we will definitely be able to defeat Yun Tangyin. By then, I will have power in my hands, so why would I be afraid of her, a new wife?"
Fu Yuanshan's voice sounded very gentle.
Jiang Jianhua leaned in his arms and nodded. The grievances in his heart gradually dissipated, and his mind was full of the good days after Jiang Zhicheng came.
Because of the angle, she couldn't see Fu Yuanshan's tightly clenched fingers hanging at his side, nor could she see the coldness in his eyes without any warmth.
The sunlight from outside the window shone in obliquely and fell on the scattered food coupons.
Fu Yuanshan patted Jiang Jianhua's back gently, but sneered in his heart.
After taking advantage of Jiang Zhicheng, this stupid woman will be of no use anymore.
By then, not to mention Yun Tangyin, even Song Yushuang would have to look at his mood.
Jiang Jianhua suddenly remembered something and looked up and asked, "What about the radio? Yun Tangyin said she wanted to return it..."
"Let her return it." Fu Yuanshan smiled meaningfully. "If she returns it, we'll hint to the public that my sister-in-law dislikes our gift. After all, no one can say we didn't give a gift. It's enough for the family to show their appreciation. If she's particular, that's her way of being a lady. It's none of our business."
Jiang Jianhua was so coaxed by him that his face was full of smiles. He stood up and was about to pick up the food coupons on the ground: "I'm going to make clothes for Mom now. Don't hide your private money anymore."
Fu Yuanshan looked at her back as she turned around, a calculation flashed in his eyes, but he responded: "I'll listen to you. From now on, you will be in charge of our money."
