He could only smile at Mother Deng’s cold face: “Mother is right. I’ve done it, the first one is for mother, so mother will be the first person to use the fire kang in our Lin County. You can call the old ladies who are good at playing to show off to them.”
“That’s for sure. I have been helping you with this thing. As for you, just stay where you feel cool and don’t run around in front of my eyes, it’s an eyesore! My daughter-in-law, come sit here and feel it. And you’d better leave quickly and don’t bother this old lady!” Mother Deng waved her hand, expressing that she didn’t want to see this prodigal son.
“Okay, then I will go back with Zilan first.” Liao Tingyu didn’t want to bother her but he didn’t want to go back alone.
“Wait, keep your wife here, you can go.” Mother Deng once again asked Huang Zilan to stay. Seeing that Liao Tingyu was unmoved, Mother Deng took action directly.
Huang Zilan was speechless when he saw the childish behavior of mother and son holding one of his hands. He had no choice but to let go of Liao Tingyu’s hand and follow Mother Deng, and ordered the maid to take the two young masters away.
“You are now a mother of children. Although you grew up in a wealthy family and have never been short of money, you can save as much money as you can. Please advise your husband more often. Don’t let him spend money everywhere.” Sitting on the kang, Mother Deng said with a serious face.
“You must remember, as his wife, the most important thing you should do is to manage your family’s money. If he is lavish, you should limit his money, otherwise you will not be able to save money in the future.”
Huang Zilan nodded in agreement.
He originally thought that he was a generous person.
Compared to his husband, Liao Tingyu just threw money around like beans. The more he earned, the more he used it: “Don’t worry, Mother, I will definitely go back and talk to him. The money on him will never be lost in the future.”
“Okay, now that he has a family, I, as the mother-in-law, can’t care too much about him. You, the wife, must be a good wife. I heard that you are raising food for the poor recently, this is good, since we all have children, we need to save blessing for them.” Mother Deng thought for a while and added.
Huang Zilan nodded in agreement, that was indeed the truth.
.
After leaving Mother Deng’s house, he asked the maid beside him and learned the details of what happened this afternoon.
After he left, Mother Deng touched the kang regretfully. Liao Ming, who had been busy for a day, returned to the house and did not see Mother Deng.
Instead, he looked at Mother Deng who was sitting in the garden with her legs crossed, “It’s so late, why are you still here?”
“Hey! You’re back, sit on it quickly, this thing is really comfortable, but it’s a pity that it can’t be moved, otherwise I would want to move it into the house.” He invited Liao Ming to sit next to her with a smile.
Liao Ming looked at the structure of this thing and felt the warmth passing around it.
He sat down on it and said, “It’s really good. This thing is what you guys made by playing in the mud these days?”
“Exactly. This thing is really inconvenient. How come our old cold legs feel so good after using this thing.” Mother Deng said.
“It’s true; our youngest son is so smart,” Liao Ming said with emotion.
“Shut up, I get angry when talking about him.” When Mother Deng thinks about the money, the sweetheart she used to love was no longer a sweetheart.
She told Liao Ming what happened this afternoon with exaggeration.
Liao Ming pretended to be a gentleman and touched his goatee as if he were listening to a story. However, when he got excited, he tore off several strands of his originally small beard.
His eyes widened: “That little brat really gave ten taels!!”
“I told you! I’m so angry. His monthly salary is only thirty taels, huh!”
“Why didn’t you stop him?”
“Do you think I don’t want to? That bastard said it in front of so many people, what can I do? If I refute his face on the spot, wouldn’t it become a joke when he walks out?” Mother Deng said angrily.
Liao Ming looked at the beard on his hand. He didn’t know whether he felt sorry for the money or for his beard.
He said very firmly: “No, you must take care of him. It can’t be like this anymore. You have to find someone to take care of him.”
“You don’t need to tell me; I have already let his wife to do it. This kid, oh! My darling, then the children must not be like him, their pocket money must be limited.” Mother Deng had given up on treating her son, so she had to start with the little baby.
.
As soon as Huang Zilan returned to the house, he began to interrogate: “I heard that you gave ten tael to others today.”
“This…”
Liao Tingyu scratched his head in embarrassment: “I didn’t—I’m so happy. It’s my fault that I can’t control myself. I’ve already reflected on it. Next time, I will think through my brain and try to be an iron rooster. Wife don’t be angry.”
“This is not a question of whether to be angry or not. I’m just surprised that you haven’t used up all the money. They are like a piece of shit; you just throw it away.” Huang Zilan really couldn’t figure it out. His husband was obviously born in a hard life, but he treated money like a dung.
“This…”
Liao Tingyu was also helpless.
He had no shortage of money before, and the economy had caught up after time travel, and he was used to using banknotes and didn’t have much feeling for silver ingots.
Moreover, in TV dramas, people casually rewarded others with twelve hundred taels, all because TV dramas and novels misled people. (It was definitely not because he was too poor.)
He also knew his problem and quickly promised: “Don’t worry, wife, I will never dare to do it again. Even if I am happy, I will not say ‘reward.'”
Huang Zilan looked at him doubtfully: “I hope you will keep what you said in your heart. If it happens again, I will ask my mother-in-law to clean you up. Okay, clean up and go to bed.”
“Oh, by the way, she also teaches me about private money. I made a promise to my mother-in-law, you will have at least one tael each month from now on.” Huang Zilan suddenly remembered when he took off his clothes and laid down.
Liao Tingyu’s eyes widened; how could the fate of their families be so similar? Liao Ming had at most a hundred wens, Liao Shi had even less, sometimes even none.
Now it was his turn, but what could he do?
“I’m already very kind, and you still have the most private money in the family.”
“Well, okay. These are all the money I have.” Liao Tingyu reluctantly took out a large handful with tears in his eyes.
Huang Zilan felt incredible when he saw that there were about a thousand taels of silver.
But he wouldn’t back out!
Dad once said that a man’s mouth was a deceitful thing. He must seize the opportunity well. If he misses it, he would no longer have the chance.
