Chapter 488 Dissension
"They eat meat, and we have to smell it?" Old Mrs. Yang heard that they would have meat to eat for the next few days. She felt even more uneasy: Why didn't Kang Mingyuan like her daughter? No, with such a capable son-in-law, she wouldn't have to worry about meat anymore.
"What else can I do if I don't smell the scent? I, your son, am fine, but I can't even catch a pheasant, let alone anything else." Although Yang Can envied other families who could eat meat without spending money, he knew his limitations: he was just a weak scholar, and even picking wild vegetables was a problem for him, let alone going up the mountain to hunt.
"Son, do you think we can borrow some meat from them?" Old Mrs. Yang asked tentatively.
"Mom, didn't I give you the meat coupons and money? If you want to eat meat, just buy it. Why do you have to borrow it from others?" Yang Can said angrily. He had heard a lot of rumors recently that his mother always borrowed things from others and never returned them. "Mom, don't borrow things from others in the future. And return the borrowed things as soon as possible."
"Everyone has their hands full sometimes, so how could they not borrow things? Don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who borrows things and never returns them. I will return them as soon as possible." When Mrs. Yang heard this, she knew that those carefree guys had told her son about her borrowing things, so she had to give a perfunctory answer.
"You only have two kilograms of meat coupons every month. We only eat half a kilogram at a time, so we can only eat meat once a week. Son, why don't you ask Wang Yue to take the meat coupons back? That way, we can eat meat more often."
"Mom, although Wang Yue and I are not husband and wife, we practice the AA system. We spend our own money. If she doesn't eat my food or wear my clothes, I don't have the face to eat hers." Yang Can said with a straight face.
He and Wang Yue got married out of love. They both had jobs and thought their married life would be very happy. However, he didn't expect that the day after their wedding, his mother asked Wang Yue for her salary and dowry, saying that Wang Yue was a member of the Yang family since she married into the Yang family and everything she had belonged to the Yang family. Not only did she ask her to hand over her salary and dowry, she was not allowed to keep a single cent.
When she needs money, she has to ask her for it. As an independent woman with a salary, she has to be controlled by her mother-in-law after getting married. How can the hot-tempered Wang Yue tolerate this? She wanted to drag him to the Civil Affairs Bureau for a divorce on the spot. After he persuaded her, she took a step back. They implemented the AA system. He kept his own salary, and the household expenses were settled at the end of the month. He and his mother paid two-thirds, and Wang Yue paid one-third.
After a while, his mother always felt that they were at a disadvantage, saying that the house they lived in belonged to her son's unit and Wang Yue could not live there for free, and that she cooked the meals and Wang Yue could not eat them for free, etc. After a few quarrels, Wang Yue moved into the dormitory of the unit and only came to stay for a day occasionally on weekends.
Although they are not far apart, it is better than being far apart. It is also because of this that they dare not have children even after being married for several years. Perhaps their marriage will end in failure in a few days.
"Can'er, let her move back. I don't want her to hand over all her salary. Let her pay 30 yuan a month. I will definitely take good care of you." Old Mrs. Yang said softly, thinking that Wang Yue not only had a salary of 32 yuan a month, but also various benefits.
"Mom, would you rather live a carefree life with 32 yuan a month, or live a cramped life with 2 yuan a month?" Yang Can asked with a sneer.
"Doesn't she still need to eat?" Old Mrs. Yang said hesitantly. In her opinion, since Wang Yue married into the Yang family, she belonged to the Yang family. Her salary and benefits from the company also belonged to the Yang family. But that tigress not only turned against her on the spot, but also came up with some kind of AA system, where she only paid for one-third of the family expenses. It was really too much.
