961 You Did Not Ask Clearly



"I'm back! What's that smell! It smells so good!" Su Yang said happily as he pushed open the door and entered.

Seeing the food on the table, Su Yang's doubts were finally dispelled and he gradually felt happy.

Qiao Yu did not think too much about it. At this time, it could only be Su Yang. Without turning around, she scooped rice at the table and muttered, "Go wash your hands. Dinner is ready."

Su Yang looked at the warm scene in front of him and could not suppress his emotions. He slowly walked behind Qiao Yu and hugged her tightly.

Qiao Yu screamed loudly out of fear and hurriedly pushed Su Yang away with all her might. The bowl in her hand fell onto the table with a loud bang.

"Ah!!! What are you doing all of a sudden! Who says you can hug me!" Qiao Yu shouted angrily at Su Yang.

"What… what's wrong with me hugging you! It's not like I've never hugged you before!" Su Yang said awkwardly.

Qiao Yu slowly moved to the other side of the table and held back the anger in her heart. Now was not the time to go against Su Yang. She had to think of a way to talk to him nicely. The most important thing now was to get meat coupons and money from Su Yang. It was fine to let him take advantage of her as long as he did not do anything overboard.

"Let's eat! I spent so much time in the kitchen. Sit down and eat," Qiao Yu said as she sat on the stool in a panic.

Su Yang was still feeling a little unhappy. He had already done so much. Even if Qiao Yu was an ice cube, she should have melted by now! Could it be that she really had a heart of stone? Their current relationship was not even as close as when they were working in the factory!

Qiao Yu also noticed the change in Su Yang's mood. She took the initiative to pick up a piece of cabbage and placed it in Su Yang's bowl. "Try this and see if it's delicious. I don't know what you like to eat, so I just made this."

"It's delicious, but you should cook one more dish next time. There's not enough food for the two of us," Su Yang said perfunctorily.

Qiao Yu saw an opportunity and quickly looked at Su Yang aggrievedly, saying, "When I went to buy groceries today, they all told me that I need coupons to buy groceries. I can't just use money. In the end, I can only buy things that don't need coupons. What are coupons? Why can't I use money to buy things?"

Su Yang looked at Qiao Yu suspiciously. The factory gave food stamps and coupons every month, but yet Qiao Yu did not know about such things. Was she putting on an act again to confuse him?

"Don't you… know about meat coupons and food stamps?" Su Yang asked.

"In the past, it was my sister-in-law who took care of the money matters at home. I don't need to care about these things. We raise pigs at home, so we don't need to spend money to buy meat. I've never used such things," Qiao Yu said as she looked at Su Yang innocently.

Su Yang's eyes suddenly lit up as he looked at Qiao Yu. His family also had some relatives who lived in the village on the outskirts of the capital. Those relatives were considered a rich family in the village as they raised chickens, ducks and geese at home. If Qiao Yu's family actually raised pigs themselves, that was something extraordinary!

During this period of time, there was not enough food for people to feed their families. Even the people in the city could only get simple food and shelter. They could only eat meat during the new year and festivals. If any family was able to buy meat, it would be a joyous occasion.

However, since Qiao Yu had relatives who lived in such a luxurious district in the capital, she could not be too low in status. It was a pity that she had never gone to school, but then again, it was easier to control a woman who knew nothing. This could be considered an advantage for him.

"Then what about the coupons issued by the factory? You never used them before?" Su Yang continued to ask.

"I'm not an official employee in the factory because I'm not educated. At that time, the factory director said that she would help me think of a way. She only gave me a salary every month and didn't give me any other benefits," Qiao Yu said sadly.

Su Yang was suddenly enlightened. No wonder Qiao Yu had always come to eat with him time and time again in the factory. She did not even mind waiting for him for more than half the afternoon for a taste of meat. It turned out that she had no other choice!

Qiao Yu told him everything that had happened to her but eliminated all the important information. She did not consider it a lie since Su Yang did not ask clearly.

"So I see. I'll get you some coupons from home when I come back tomorrow. Let's buy some meat to eat too. I can try your cooking again tomorrow night!" Su Yang said happily.

Qiao Yu looked at Su Yang tenderly and did not stop serving him food. Su Yang could also tell that as long as he gave Qiao Yu some benefits, her attitude towards him would change drastically.
