The atmosphere in the room was somewhat silent, and no one spoke for more than ten minutes.
Yu Li and Yan Jiecheng looked at each other silently. Yu Li felt a little depressed. It seemed that her first resistance would end in failure.
According to the calculation Yan Fugui had just made for them, renting a house would cost three yuan a month, and if two people eat two to three meals a day, it would cost seven to eight yuan a month. In this way, out of the thirteen yuan, more than ten yuan would be gone. If they wanted to buy something else, it would probably not be enough.
Yu Li was speechless and didn't know what to say. She hadn't expected that it would cost so much money for the two of them to live alone for a month.
Although ten yuan is the minimum monthly consumption for two people in Beijing, you won’t know until you calculate it. Once you calculate it, you will find that ten yuan is enough to survive, but you can only eat one or two steamed buns for each meal. If you want to eat a lot, five yuan per person is not enough.
Seeing that Yu Li and Yan Jiecheng were a little discouraged, Yan Fugui smiled and thought to himself, "You little brats, you're still too young to compete with me in scheming!"
However, Yan Fugui also understood that if he didn't give out some money, Yu Li would probably make trouble again in the future. In this case, he still had to appease her.
"Xiao Li, now you know that even if it's calculated as handing over thirteen dollars every month, in reality, you've already spent almost all of it on food, clothing, and shelter."
"I understand, Dad." Yu Li responded in a low voice.
"However, Xiaoli, since you're marrying Jie Cheng, no matter what happens, I can't let you live worse than when you were at your parents' home."
What is a sudden turn of events? Isn’t this what it means now?
Yu Li thought that her goal of getting some money this time could no longer be achieved, but Yan Fugui's words gave her hope again.
"Dad, what do you mean?"
"So, out of the five dollars I earn every month, I'll leave you three."
Yan Fugui acted very generous: "How about this, the salary is 18 yuan, you get 8 yuan, and you hand over 10 yuan?"
"Okay, okay, Dad, it's settled."
Before Yu Li could figure out why Yan Fugui said that, Yan Jiecheng was already about to jump up with joy. This was simply too good to be true.
"Okay, that's settled then."
Yan Fugui nodded and said, "When you get your salary tomorrow, keep eight dollars and give me the remaining ten. Okay, I'm going out for a walk."
Having said that, he stood up, hummed a tune and walked out the door.
But at this time, Yu Li was still wondering why this calculating father-in-law agreed to leave them three more dollars when they had just calculated the bill and found that thirteen dollars was not enough for the couple to spend?
"Yu Li, let's go back to the house."
Yan Jiecheng pulled Yu Li and returned to the next room happily. He was so excited that he walked around the room and couldn't sit still.
There's no other way. This is three dollars more every month. With these three dollars, they can save some money every month, which is much better than living paycheck to paycheck before.
Yan Jiecheng is such a person who is content with a small fortune, or rather, he doesn't need a small fortune. As long as he can exceed his expectations, he will be happy.
But Yu Li couldn't do that. She was still wondering if there was something she hadn't calculated.
Finally, after dinner, lying in bed, when Yan Jiecheng was about to toss and turn for two minutes, she suddenly understood.
"Come on, Yuli."
Yan Jiecheng was still mumbling and wanted to start making trouble, which made Yu Li, who had just woken up, very impatient.
How come you love to play so much when you're such a bad boy?
It has been a while since she got married. These days, listening to the aunties chatting in the yard, Yu Li is no longer a novice who knows nothing.
Yan Jiecheng is so bad at making trouble at night that Yu Li has been dissatisfied for a long time.
But no matter how dissatisfied she was, she would still cooperate when it was necessary. However, she had just been tricked by her father-in-law today, and she was in no mood to cooperate, so she stretched out her little feet.
With one kick, Yan Jiecheng was almost kicked into the first eunuch after the founding of the People's Republic of China. He curled up holding his stomach.
"Yu Li, hiss, what are you doing?"
Yan Jiecheng was kicked in the stomach and almost passed out from the pain. He was really caught off guard.
"What am I going to do?"
Yu Li sat up quickly and looked at Yan Jiecheng fiercely: "Do you know that your parents have plotted against us today?"
"What do you mean by 'my parents'? Aren't they your parents too?" Yan Jiecheng muttered dissatisfiedly. The pain in his stomach made him unable to hear clearly what Yu Li said.
"They are really my good parents-in-law. How could they plot against their daughter-in-law like this?"
"What's the meaning?"
The pain in his stomach had eased a little. Yan Jiecheng heard this sentence clearly and asked with some confusion.
"What else do you mean?"
Yu Li said bitterly, "Your father plotted against us today."
"Are you planning something?"
Yan Jiecheng shook his head stupidly: "No, I guess his calculations are correct. If we really lived together, there wouldn't be much left every month."
"Oh, you were fooled by your father."
Yu Li's face was covered with a lingering anger, and she said coldly, "Let me calculate for you. If we live alone, even if I still give you five dollars a month, we still have thirteen dollars left."
"It's not thirteen anymore. Dad gave you three more pieces." Yan Jiecheng counted on his fingers.
"Okay, even if there are still ten dollars left, our father is still misleading us." Yu Li said coldly.
"What do you mean?" Yan Jiecheng was a little confused. He didn't feel that the calculation was wrong!
