Chapter 182 I will take charge of this house from now on
Ling Jiang was so angry that he didn't want to talk to his wife anymore, "Okay, all the mistakes are my fault, and you are all right. If you want to save mom, you can find a way to save her yourself. I won't interfere, and don't look for it."
I!"
After saying that, Ling Jiang got up and walked out.
Li Li chased after him reluctantly, "No matter what you do, you are the son-in-law of the Li family. When you married me, you said it yourself that you would treat my parents as your own parents. It has only been a few years since then."
Nian, do you think what you say is fart?!"
Ling Jiang stopped and turned to look at his wife, his eyes no longer as cowardly and gentle as before.
"What have I failed to do as my son-in-law over the years? How many times has your brother gotten into trouble, and how many times have Kawako and I not wiped his ass? How much of the money I earn every year do you use to subsidize your parents' family? I
Didn't you say a few words?
Li Li, please show your conscience. You only think about your mother being locked up in the police station. How do you think about how our family will live in the future?
Mom, she not only ruined my reputation, she also ruined my job. How can I continue this business in the future?"
Li Li was speechless by her husband's words.
Ling Jiang went to the room where Lingchuan and Yun Mo lived before.
Li Li followed her into the room after a while. Seeing her husband bending down to clean the bed, she asked, "Why are you cleaning this room so late at night?"
Ling Jiang replied without looking back: "I will sleep in this room from now on, and you and Jiale will sleep in the main room."
Upon hearing this, Li Li's expression changed.
She quickly took her husband's hand and stopped him from making the bed. "Please make it clear. What do you mean?"
Faced with Li Li's questioning, Ling Jiang just turned away and said, "From now on, we will each sleep separately."
Li Li's face was shocked, and then she pointed at him angrily, "Okay, we have to separate beds, right? You have the ability to sleep here for the rest of your life, so don't even step into my room!"
Li Li slammed the door angrily and left. Ling Jiang froze in the room like a wooden stake for a while, then bent down and continued to make the bed.
"dad."
Looking at his daughter who was standing behind him at some point, Ling Jiang tried his best to smile.
"Chunhua, it's getting late. Go back to your room and go to bed. You have to go to school tomorrow."
Ling Chunhua rarely obeyed, but hugged her father's leg, raised her little face and said softly: "Dad, I want to sleep with you tonight, okay?"
Children are naturally insecure, especially when they see their parents quarreling.
Compared with ordinary children who are attached to their mothers, Ling Chunhua prefers a father who is kind to her.
It was a rare occasion for his daughter to act coquettishly, and Ling Jiang's heart softened.
He smiled and touched his daughter's little head, "Okay, then go and get your pillow and quilt. Dad will make the bed first."
"good!"
Looking at his daughter's cheerful back, the sadness in Ling Jiang's heart suddenly eased a lot.
In the dead of night, Li Li lay on the bed and tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
Ever since Ling Jiang worked with Ling Chuan on the construction site, she had long been accustomed to staying alone in an empty house, and even sometimes she felt uncomfortable when her husband came home.
She should feel peaceful when her husband doesn't sleep in the same room with her, but she feels empty and unspeakably bored inside.
Because she realized that her husband was different from the past, it made her feel uneasy, as if something was out of her control.
the next day.
As usual, Ling Jiang woke up as soon as it was light. When he opened his eyes and saw his sleeping daughter curled up next to him, he remembered what happened yesterday, and his heart suddenly became heavy again.
Li Li used to cook at home, and today was no exception. There was the sound of running water in the yard, and it was Li Li washing up.
Li Li was obviously still angry about what happened last night. She saw Ling Jiang coming out of the side room with a cold face and said nothing.
Ling Jiang didn't say anything. He first filled the water tank with water, then found the washbasin to wash himself and brush his teeth.
Breakfast was made by Li Li, which consisted of porridge and whole grain steamed buns.
Although the Ling family is not rich, they are not so poor that they cannot afford to eat.
In the past, Li Li took care of everything at home and outside, and Ling Jiang didn't ask any questions. He would eat whatever Li Li did and never complained.
But during this period of time, Li Li was not at home, and Ling Jiang was living a life on his own, and suddenly realized that his wife's life seemed to be too tight in the past two years.
Let’s not talk about the debts owed by the family a few days ago. In the past two years, the debts have been paid off. The money he takes from his family every month is at least thirty. Adding in the living expenses paid by Lingchuan, that’s four or five dollars a month.
Ten dollars.
Not to mention eating meat every day, it is still okay to eat rice and noodles every time.
But the fact is that the family eats whole grains every day, and there is no oil or meat in the cooking. Even eggs have become a luxury item, which made him think that the family was so poor that it was almost impossible to open the pot.
During this time, he and his daughter ate white flour, rice, eggs, and occasionally meat without spending much money.
It's okay for him. He's just barely eating. His daughter Chunhua is just growing up and has been deprived of nutrition for a long time. Now she's 6 years old. She's not as strong as her younger brother Ling Jiale, so she only follows him during this period of time.
I gained a little bit of meat.
It would be okay if his wife saved the money herself, but he knew in his heart that at least half of the money saved would be used to support his parents' family.
No father can tolerate depriving his own daughter of his food rations to supplement his parents' family.
"From now on, I will boil two eggs every morning, one for Chun Hua and one for Jia Le. Also, when the whole grains at home are gone, don't buy any. From now on, I will only buy white flour and rice."
Li Li got angry when she heard this and threw her chopsticks on the table, "Old Ling, you are deliberately looking for trouble, right? You want to live a good life with fine food, don't I? Don't look at your home, you have this.
What are the conditions? One egg costs 8 cents. If you cook two eggs a day, it will cost 5 yuan a month.
Do you know how much a pound of white flour rice costs now? Do you eat it every day for free? You just talk about it, but you actually spend the money!"
Ling Jiang nodded, "Yes, I have made it difficult for you these years. From now on, I will take charge of this house. If there is anything missing in the house, just tell me and I will buy it back."
"What do you mean? Do you suspect that I have hidden private money?"
"You didn't?"
Li Li was so angry that she slammed the table, "Old Ling, do you have any conscience? As a big family, we don't have to spend money on food and clothing!"
Ling Jiang looked at her, "Okay, then tell me, where did you spend the rest of Chunhua's 50 yuan tuition?"
Li Li was like a deflated rubber ball, and she died instantly.
Seeing that it was getting late, Ling Jiang didn't want to continue arguing with his wife. He had to go to the stall after dinner early. Yesterday, he spent a lot of money to apologize to the Wei family, and he had to earn it back quickly to be serious.
Thinking that Li Li was here, Lingchuan didn't take his daughter out as usual. After breakfast, he pushed his bicycle out.
When her husband came out of the back door, Li Li glared at her daughter who was nibbling on a piece of cornmeal, raised her hand and gave her a big slap in the face.
? ?Good night!~
? If God wants to let it perish, it must first make it crazy.
? These chapters may be a bit angry, but rest assured, it will be the result of the desire to see.
