Chapter 419: Economic Freedom Leads to Personal Freedom
Kang Mingyuan laughed out loud when he saw the two yuan. "It's good that she didn't give you the full two cents."
"Isn't she afraid that I will open it in front of your sisters-in-law and slap her in the face?" Qiao Mo asked with a smile.
"Maybe she was afraid that you would open the red envelope in front of her, so she only gave you two dollars. Otherwise, considering how stingy she is towards us, she would be lucky to give you fifty cents." Kang Mingyuan said, trying hard to suppress his smile.
"It's okay, it's okay. We don't have to rely on our parents for a living, otherwise we might be suffocated to death." Qiao Mo patted his chest. Kang Weimin was happier. His children's wages were collected by themselves, and they could live on their own after getting married. They didn't have to live with their parents, and the daughter-in-law didn't have to be under the control of her mother-in-law. Otherwise, with Ji Ying's temper, the family would definitely be in chaos.
"That's why people have to be self-reliant. With economic freedom, personal freedom is not far away. If you can't be self-reliant, you will always be dependent on others." Kang Mingyuan disagreed. His father was forced to start a business. If his mother was not so unreliable and wholeheartedly cared about the Ji family, he would not let his children take care of themselves.
"You're right. Having it yourself is better than anyone else's. Brother Yuan, what do you think we should do with these two dollars?" Qiao Mo pointed to the two dollars on the coffee table and asked.
"Just keep it." Kang Mingyuan picked up the two-yuan note and flicked it. "You can buy more than ten kilograms of rice at the grain store, enough for the two of us to eat for a few days."
"Then you keep it. I'll go prepare the gifts."
"I'll help you."
Qiao Mo put her things back into the box. The gifts she had prepared were wrapped in kraft paper, and there was a piece of red paper in the middle as a red envelope. She opened the red envelope that she was going to give to Ji Ying, put away the woolen material, replaced it with a piece of Dacron cloth and rewrapped it.
Kang Mingyuan saw her movements and a smile flashed in his eyes. He thought to himself that his wife was really a vindictive person: "Why don't you change a piece of cotton cloth?"
"Cotton cloth is too cheap. Others will laugh at us when they see it." Qiao Mo shook her head. According to her temper, she didn't want to give her a single piece of yarn. However, when a person lives in this world, there are some things that cannot be done excessively, otherwise people will criticize them.
Kang Mingyuan: "It's hard for you."
Qiao Mo: "No, I don't lack a piece of cloth, it's just a matter of whether you are willing to give it to me."
Kang Mingyuan also laughed: "Well, my Momo is a small rich woman. If I am happy, I will reward her with some melons and two dates. If I am not happy, I will give her nothing."
"Haha, haha." Qiao Mo laughed out loud because of him. "You're right, just tell me what you want."
Seeing her so happy, Kang Mingyuan was also happy: "Okay, I will rely on you for my livelihood from now on."
The time they spent together passed very quickly, and it was not until Han Yima came and knocked on the door that they realized it was already dusk outside.
Kang Mingyuan stood up to open the door, and took Han Yimo to the kitchen: "Yimo, let's go cook wontons."
One of them lit the kerosene stove to boil water and cook wontons, while the other watched from the side.
"Brother Yuan, I've already made an appointment with my brothers to go to Mangshan the day after tomorrow."
"Okay, the days are short and the nights are long now, so we must set off early in the morning. You can come and sleep over the day after tomorrow night." Kang Mingyuan instructed.
"Got it, will you go quietly?"
"I'll ask her later if she wants to go." Kang Mingyuan really wanted Qiao Mo to go. If his brothers didn't want to go, he could take Qiao Mo to the mountains for a walk, which would be a way to relax.
But the brothers are all soldiers. Once they enter the mountains, they will definitely move at full speed in order to hunt as many prey as possible. If Qiao Mo goes with them, it will be tiring. If she wants to go, he will not object.
