Chapter 78 "My Wife is Ruthless"
Fu Yucheng carried Yun Tangyin into the wing room, and just as he put her down, she twisted his arm: "Can't you be quieter? Everyone in the compound can hear it."
"It's good to hear it." Fu Yucheng held her wrist with his backhand, rubbing the red mark with his fingertips, "We have to let them know that Fu Yucheng's wife is not to be touched."
He lowered his head and blew on the wound, his eyelashes brushing against her skin, making Yun Tangyin shrink her arm in itch.
"Stop it, my second sister-in-law is still outside." Yun Tangyin tried to break free, but he held her tighter.
"She's busy handing over the stolen goods and has no time to bother with us." Fu Yucheng dug out badger oil from the drawer, dipped his fingertips in it, and rubbed it on the red marks. "Why didn't you tell me this morning? If I had known Xu Runli dared to come, I would have taken half a day off to deal with her."
"Why do you need to ask for leave for such a small matter?" Yun Tangyin looked at his serious profile and suddenly felt soft in her heart. "Besides, I didn't suffer any loss. Look at the spatula mark on her back. I guess she will be in pain for several days."
Fu Yucheng chuckled softly and rubbed circles on her arm with his fingertips: "My wife is always ruthless."
He suddenly leaned in close, his warm breath fanning her earlobe, "But I like it."
Yun Tangyin's ears instantly turned red, and she pushed him: "You are so frivolous."
The two were arguing when Jiang Jianhua's footsteps were heard outside the door. He said timidly, "Yinyin, Mom asked me to give you something..."
Fu Yucheng stood up and opened the door, his face instantly darkening.
Jiang Jianhua was holding a cloth bag in his arms. Seeing him shrink back like a mouse seeing a cat, he said, "I...I'm going to give Yinyin the cloth coupons and account book."
Yun Tangyin walked out from behind Fu Yucheng, took the cloth bag and poured it onto the table. A pile of scraps of cloth tickets and a wrinkled account book rolled out.
She flipped through two pages and looked at Jiang Jianhua with a raised eyebrow: "Just changed the coal money and food coupons?"
Jiang Jianhua lowered his head even lower: "Just... just these two places, I didn't dare to change more."
"Didn't dare?" Fu Yucheng sneered, "If you dared, would you be planning to move all the Fu family's assets?"
Jiang Jianhua was so frightened that he fell to his knees, tears streaming down his face again: "I really know I was wrong! Please forgive me this time!"
"Whether I'll forgive you or not depends on Yinyin's opinion." Fu Yucheng moved to the side and gave the home court to Yun Tangyin.
Yun Tangyin gathered the cloth coupons together and counted them: "Five feet of blue cloth coupons are missing. Second sister-in-law better figure out where she put them."
Jiang Jianhua's face turned pale instantly, his lips trembled and he couldn't speak.
She had secretly hidden the cloth coupons to make a new shirt for Jiang Zhicheng. She had almost forgotten about them, but Yun Tangyin remembered the exact number.
"I...I'll get it right away!"
She ran out tumbling and crawling, and just as she reached the door, she ran into Song Yushuang and almost dropped the sewing basket in her hand.
"Why are you so flustered?" Song Yushuang frowned. "What did Yinyin ask you to get?"
"Blue...blue cloth coupons..." Jiang Jianhua stammered and ran to the wing room without looking back.
Song Yushuang walked into the room, looked at the cloth coupons and account books on the table, and sighed: "It's also because I indulged her too much on weekdays."
"Don't say that, Mom." Yun Tangyin poured her a cup of tea, "Just keep a close eye on me from now on."
Fu Yucheng said, "I'm going to the supply and marketing cooperative tomorrow to exchange these tickets for something and lock them up to prevent anyone from getting any more ideas."
Song Yushuang nodded: "Acheng is still thoughtful."
She glanced at the wound on Yun Tangyin's arm and asked, "Did you apply badger oil? Don't let it leave a scar."
"I've applied it." Fu Yucheng quickly responded, picked up the badger oil and was about to apply it on Yun Tangyin's arm, but she dodged him with a smile: "I can do it myself."
As he was speaking, Jiang Jianhua ran back with the blue cloth ticket, holding it in both hands and handed it to Yun Tangyin: "Yinyin, this is for you."
Yun Tangyin took the cloth coupons and casually put them in the drawer: "The deficit in the account will be deducted from your monthly pocket money until it is all gone."
Jiang Jianhua nodded repeatedly: "Of course I should."
She secretly glanced at Fu Yucheng, and when she saw that he was no longer glaring at her, she dared to say in a low voice, "Then I'll go out first."
After the others left, Fu Yucheng snorted, "This temper is really hopeless."
"Take your time." Yun Tangyin leaned on his shoulder.
Fu Yucheng pinched her face and said, "You are the only one who is kind-hearted. If it were me, I would have kicked him out long ago."
"That won't do." Yun Tangyin sat up straight. "After all, Fu Yuanshan is the one who entrusted me with my son. If he's really kicked out because of his status, it will be difficult for my mother in the army."
Song Yushuang listened nearby, a look of satisfaction in her eyes: "Yinyin is very thoughtful. A harmonious family is the most important thing."
In the evening, Yu Xia came over with a bowl of pickled cucumbers. As soon as she entered the door, she shouted, "I heard that Xu Runli was locked in the house by Jiang Zhicheng. My goodness, her wailing could be heard halfway across the street!"
Yun Tangyin smiled and poured her a cup of tea: "It's better to lock it up, so that it won't come out and cause harm to others."
"That's right." Yu Xia took a bite of the cucumber. "Just now, when I went to get some water, I saw Jiang Zhicheng squatting by the wall smoking. He looked like he wanted to eat someone. I guess he regrets marrying such a troublemaker."
Fu Yucheng was sharpening a knife nearby. Hearing this, he said without even looking up, "It's too late to regret. You were blind back then, and now you have to suffer."
Yu Xia was amused. "Acheng, that makes sense. But having said that, Yinyin, you were really amazing today. You took Xu Runli down in just a few moves. I almost want to applaud you!"
Yun Tangyin raised an eyebrow: "Why, sister-in-law also wants to watch the fun?"
"Who doesn't want to watch the fun?" Yu Xia smiled until her eyes narrowed into slits. "But seeing Jiang Jianhua's disgraceful appearance makes me feel even more relieved! I've disliked her for a long time. She gossips about everyone else all day long, as if no one is worse than her."
As he was speaking, Jiang Zhicheng's voice came from outside the courtyard gate, with a bit of embarrassment: "Is Yucheng at home?"
Fu Yucheng's voice was as cold as ice: "What's the matter?"
Jiang Zhicheng pushed the door open and came in, holding a cloth bag in his hand, with an awkward smile on his face: "I... I'm here to give you the money." He put the cloth bag on the table and said, "Here's thirty yuan, plus five yuan in interest. Please count it."
Yun Tangyin opened the cloth bag, which contained neatly arranged money and a few banknotes.
She counted it and it was exactly thirty-five dollars and fifty cents, no more, no less.
"Brother Jiang is a man of his word." Yun Tangyin put the money away, took out the IOU from the drawer and handed it to him, "You keep this."
Jiang Zhicheng took the IOU and tore it into pieces, as if relieved: "I'm sorry for what happened before."
Fu Yucheng snorted: "It's not us who are sorry, it's you. Take good care of your wife and don't let her come to the Fu family and act wild again, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."
Jiang Zhicheng nodded repeatedly: "Of course, of course. I will take her back to the countryside right now and never cause trouble again."
He turned to leave, but Yun Tangyin stopped him: "Wait."
Jiang Zhicheng turned around with a hint of nervousness in his eyes.
