Quick Wear: The Gold Digger Was Influenced by Love Brain

Jiang Xubai didn't want to dwell on this topic any longer.

"Don't worry about how I'm going to live in the future. Just take care of Dad."

Yun was choked by his words.

"Your father wants to study, and there is nothing your mother can do..."

Jiang Xubai has heard these words countless times since he was a child.

"I don't have a penny."

Yun, "... before she gives birth, you should take the money back and manage it yourself. Mother won't harm you."

Jiang Xubai remained indifferent.

"I have no money."

Yun: "..."

-

It’s cold in winter, so the family doesn’t have to do farm work and can just sit around the fire at home.

The burnt charcoal was picked up by Yun and placed in the study.

Yun chopped firewood in the yard for a while, and then called Zhou Caixue out alone.

Zhou Caixue looked at Jiang Xubai with a pleading look in her eyes.

Are you asking her to chop wood?

She really can't do that kind of heavy work at all; it hurts her hands.

Jiang Xubai gave her a reassuring look.

"Go."

Zhou Caixue glared at him, but she knew that Jiang Xubai would not go with her, so she had to go out alone.

The person she least wanted to face now was Yun, for fear that she would urge her to have a baby again.

During these past few months, Yun asked Zhou Caixue about the child more than a dozen times every month, which made Zhou Caixue exhausted. However, she could only swallow her grievances by herself.

After coming out, a cold wind blew towards me.

Zhou Caixue just wanted to get back to the warm house as soon as possible.

"Mother-in-law, what do you want from me?"

Yun stopped chopping wood and gave a kind smile.

"Cai Xue, the second brother told me that his money will be handed over to you after we get married?"

Zhou Caixue breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately he wasn't asking about the child.

She was not afraid of Yun about other things, but she felt guilty about the child, so she could understand why Yun was pushing her too hard.

People all attach great importance to passing on the family line and having offspring. What's more, Jiang Xubai is the only male in the Jiang family. She is Jiang Xubai's wife, but cannot continue the offspring for the Jiang family. This in itself is her fault.

“I’m in charge.”

Yun got straight to the point and said, "The New Year is coming soon. Your father-in-law is going to visit his teacher and classmates, so he needs to spend a lot of money. The second son hasn't gone hunting in the mountains for a while, so the family has no income for a while. You can take out two taels of silver and give it to your father-in-law first."

If the second son was in charge of the money, she would just ask for as much as she needed, but when she found out that the daughter-in-law was in charge of the money, she wanted to ask for as much as possible.

She was always a little worried about leaving the money in the hands of an outsider.

Besides, Zhou used to be a lady from a wealthy family, so she probably wouldn't care about such a small amount of money as one or two taels of silver.

Zhou Caixue was stunned for a moment.

"Didn't my husband always give you half of the money he earned?"

Yun said helplessly, "You know that scholars have many places to spend money. Every time they get the money, they use it to buy pens, ink, paper and inkstone for your father-in-law."

Zhou Caixue asked, "My husband should give you at least one tael of silver a month. Why would you spend so much on reading this book?"

She had come into contact with many scholars, including many poor scholars. She knew that on average, those poor scholars only spent one hundred to two hundred coins a month on pens, ink, paper, and inkstone.

The Jiang family is not well off, so how could Jiang Weizhou spend one or two taels of silver a month?

Yun frowned.

"You are not a scholar, you don't understand, and don't ask so many questions."

"Give me the money first."

Zhou Caixue, "..."

This is the first time I've seen someone asking for money so confidently, without even the patience to explain.

"Mother-in-law, it's not that I don't want to give it to you, but I have deposited all the money in the silver shop to earn interest, and I can't withdraw it before the deadline."

Of course she made this up, but that doesn't stop her from using this excuse to fool people.

Yun was stunned for a moment.

"Silver House?"

She looked suspicious, "When did you go to deposit it? Did Lao Er know?"

Zhou Caixue said, "I discussed it with him, and he knows about it."

I decided in my heart that I would find an opportunity to talk to him later.

Ever since she had to go up the mountain to accompany Jiang Xubai hunting every day, she realized that making money by hunting was actually very hard.

That money was all Jiang Xubai's hard-earned money, and she had no objection to giving part of it to her family. After all, Jiang Xubai was not only her husband, but also the son of her parents-in-law, so it was his duty to be filial to them.

However, apart from that money, she was not stupid enough to hand over the rest.

She herself used to spend money lavishly, but now she has restrained herself. How could she possibly give the money she saved from her frugal life to the most idle man in the family?

Besides, I have a plan for the money. When the snow stops, I will buy a house in town.

Yun was a little anxious.

"But your father-in-law needs it urgently..."

Zhou Caixue suggested, "Mother-in-law, I've seen many scholars from poor families make money with the knowledge they have learned."

"You can copy books, write letters, and the New Year is coming soon. You can also sell couplets. My father-in-law needs money so urgently, and he is a scholar. Why doesn't he use the knowledge he has learned to make money?"

"I believe that my father-in-law, as a scholar, must have the ability."

Yun was a little hesitant.

"But will this delay the master's studies?"

"He's already tired enough from studying, if he has to worry about money too..."

Zhou Caixue almost couldn't help rolling her eyes when she heard this.

What kind of book is so precious?

No time even to copy books or write couplets?

"You can't leave all the burdens of the family to your husband alone, right?"

Yun thought for a while and sighed.

"Forget it, I'll go discuss it with the head of the family."

-

At night, Zhou Caixue told her about how Yun had come to her to ask for money during the day and how she had dealt with it. She casually asked, "Will you blame me for being too stingy with your parents?"

Jiang Xubai held Jiang in his arms.

"I originally planned that if my mother came to you for money, she would remember you well if you gave her the money."

"The money my father spent on his education is a bottomless pit that can never be filled."

"It's understandable that you don't give it to me."

Zhou Caixue asked, "How much does your father spend per month?"

Jiang Xubai said, "He spends whatever I give to my mother."

Zhou Caixue always felt that there was something fishy.

"If you only buy pens, ink, paper, and inkstones, and occasionally some books, it shouldn't cost that much, right?"

Jiang Xubai said, "When I was selling game in town, I ran into him eating at a restaurant a few times. He must have been eating and drinking with his classmates."

He didn't know the details.

Zhou Caixue was a little angry.

"He is a father, but he eats and drinks well outside, and doesn't care whether his wife and children are doing well, or whether you work hard to earn money!"

"unacceptable!"

She suddenly felt sorry for this man.

"In the future, you should give less money to your mother. Anyway, I am the one who buys most of the food at home. Your mother's money is all given to your father, and she doesn't spend a penny at home."

Jiang Xubai's lips curled slightly.

"Listen to you."

Zhou Caixue was a little worried.

"It's not a good idea for your father to keep spending the money you earn. You're too tired. I'll go to town and ask Xiao Nuo some other day to see if she can recommend some work for your father so that he can earn his own money."
