Chapter 405 It Costs Money
Yi Zhonghai was still in a daze in the room. He had been living in a daze for the past month. He felt like he had a new wife. Ever since that chatterbox went to the Northeast, he had been thinking of taking this opportunity to do some micro-manipulation.
As a result, all his plans were ruined by his wife. As soon as the gossiper left, his wife immediately changed her attitude, as if she was back to the time when he was the boss.
She didn't complain all day long that I had lied to her. Instead, she was caring and concerned about me. It was as if nothing had happened except that there were two more children in the family.
The only unusual thing is that the food is so good. His wife cooks different kinds of delicious food every day, and the two children call him to eat at a certain time every day. His previous frugal lifestyle is gone forever.
He found ways to buy meat outside, and for two days in a row there were always three dishes and a soup on the table. With two children, he couldn't imagine how much money the family would spend on this diet in a month.
Although Yi Zhonghai was a person who did not have high demands for material life, he could not resist eating steamed buns every day in the Jia family some time ago.
He was careless for a moment and was defeated by his wife's sugar-coated bullets. Then on the day of salary payment, he accidentally climbed into his wife's bed, and then handed over the salary without knowing why...
In fact, Yi Zhonghai regretted it three minutes later. He comforted himself by thinking that the nagging man was no longer there and his wife was a person without her own opinion. He finally got her into bed with him, so it was a big step forward. He should not be too hasty and should take it step by step.
Unexpectedly, things did not develop as he expected. The 99 yuan salary and bills turned into new clothes and meat bones on the table the next day.
Yi Zhonghai originally had a stern face and tried to say a few words about thrift and frugality, but his wife actually agreed and even eagerly showed him new clothes. He originally thought that his wife had become normal, but she was the type who knew the mistake but refused to correct it.
While eating, he also said in a logical and logical way that the food was prepared according to the standards of his time in the Jia family, which left Yi Zhonghai speechless for a moment.
Yi Zhonghai's heart was bleeding after eating for three days in a row. When he came back on the fourth day, he was still thinking that the food was almost cooked and how to ask his wife to agree to help his apprentice. But when he walked in, he was dumbfounded.
A room full of people were looking at his family's new sewing machine. Listening to his wife saying that it was unreasonable for a family to have apprentices but not masters, Yi Zhonghai failed to control his expression and it took him a long time to force out a stiff smile.
After everyone had left, Yi Zhonghai learned that this was bought with notes exchanged from others at a high price, and that he had followed the same path as Zhang Xingwang's second sister.
In order to implement his plan slowly, Yi Zhonghai could only grit his teeth and say a few words to his wife, and then took the opportunity to tentatively ask for help to his apprentice. Unexpectedly, his wife took out ten yuan without saying a word and asked him to deliver it quickly.
As a result, two days later, a group of people gathered at his house to look at the new bicycle. I heard my wife say that the third uncle, a teacher, had two bicycles, and that Old Yi in my family was an eighth-level worker and could not be outdone by the third uncle.
Yi Zhonghai was completely dumbfounded this time. He was not surprised that his wife bought this thing.
After all, bicycles this year are not as rare as in the past two years. It can be said that anyone who can afford it can buy one in the city. Besides, my wife is a good person who will help anyone when they need a hand. The bicycle tickets were exchanged by enthusiastic neighbors after Aunt Guan spread the word.
Yi Zhonghai waited until everyone left before he got angry. He started by saying that his wife had forgotten her original intention. He spent half an hour with a grimace explaining the principles and necessity of frugality and diligence in running a household.
Afterwards, Yi Zhonghai wanted to take back the family's financial power. Aunt Guan didn't say much. She secretly hid five hundred yuan and gave the rest of the money to Yi Zhonghai.
Yi Zhonghai looked at the 2100 yuan written on the passbook with a look of disbelief.
"Don't you have 5000 yuan in savings at home?"
"Old Yi, here are the bicycles and sewing machines I just bought. Pan Di said Xiao Jin will deliver the radio tomorrow. I have already paid for it.
You see, our furniture has been used for decades, so I bought new ones and they will be delivered tomorrow. I will keep the remaining 53 yuan for buying groceries. If you want, I will give it to you together with the grain voucher."
"That shouldn't be the case. You don't have a furniture ticket, and how much is the furniture worth?"
"You don't need a ticket to buy it from the trust store. I heard that they are all good things, so I bought the bed, wardrobe, tables, chairs, benches, etc. They said that the wood is very valuable."
Although Aunt Guan had no opinion, the old ladies in the hospital had systematically studied marriage law. With Zhang Xingwang's advice, this former middle-aged woman completely let herself go for the sake of her two children.
Although men and women are equal, she does not earn money after all, and has to rely on her husband Lao Yi for food, clothing and other expenses. However, Lao Yi's mind is all on his apprentice, so after racking her brains for a long time, Aunt Guan referred to Zhang Xingwang's suggestion on how to spend money and got an inspiration. Sha Zhu also said the words that impressed him the most.
“It costs money!”
So there was this scene where Aunt Guan spent money like crazy.
She couldn't say that she could control the money, but she could make Old Yi penniless. Old Yi, who was penniless, would not still think about supporting the Jia family. She knew a little about the thoughts of the man beside her. Those were all savings for his coffin.
With the mentality of getting a divorce if they couldn't make it, Aunt Guan bought a lot of household items, even the registration plate of her bicycle was in her name.
These are all the properties of the couple. Even if Lao Yi gets angry and divorces him, she will still have a share of these things, not to mention the furniture. Zhang Xingwang said that as long as she dares to buy them, he will guarantee them for her, and the money from selling the pawnshop will be enough to raise the child.
The two children are now more or less hostile to Yi Zhonghai, but they are closer to her than their own mother. Aunt Guan feels that everything is worth it when she looks at the two children.
The only time Yi Tian had a quarrel was because someone's mouth was faster than his brain, and he gossiped about her not having children.
She had originally taken Yi Tian out to chat, but when she went to the toilet, the little girl clung to the woman whose mouth was quicker than her brain like a piece of candy, and kept shouting at the top of her voice that she was her biological daughter. The woman was so embarrassed that she covered her face and walked away, not daring to go out for the whole afternoon.
After Yi Cheng came home from school and learned what had happened, he took his sister to the woman's house. By the time he went over, the brother and sister were already standing at each other's door in front of everyone, shouting dozens of times that she was their mother.
After such a long period of contact, she knew best whether these two children were good and reliable. She cried for half the night after Zhang Xingwang left that day, and then she made up her mind. What's the harm in learning to trap men like a widow? As long as she can protect the two children and let them grow up, face doesn't matter.
