36: Chapter 36: The Scroungers Have Arrived 36: Chapter 36: The Scroungers Have Arrived “With them coming, how are we supposed to celebrate the New Year?
We’re already poor, living beyond our ans!
Now they’re here, how much food will they consu?” An Hao thought about it and felt a headache coming on.
“Dad, how long will they stay?
Did they say?” An Ping was relatively calm compared to the rest, having visited Bai Xue’s parents’ ho last year, he got along quite well with her family.
Especially with Bai Xue’s brother’s son, Bai Yufeng, with whom he had a particularly good ti.
“They didn’t say.
Judging by the old lady’s intention, it seems they will stay for a while.
They’ll probably stay at least until after the New Year!” This was causing An Shuchao great distress already, as it was difficult enough for their family to get by on their own food, let alone with his daughter-in-law’s entire family there as well.
There’s a saying that the end of the year is the hardest ti, and it couldn’t be more true.
An Hao also sighed, “Since they’re here, there’s no use worrying about it.
It’s just for a little while, we’ll manage sohow.”
“Where is there money, though?” An Shuchao was worried, deeply sighing and looking up at An Hao, “How did it go selling goods today?”
“Not bad!
Several tens, nearly a hundred, right?” An Ping, younger and less thoughtful, eagerly spoke up when his father asked.
An Hao frantically tried to stop him, but couldn’t.
“Really?” An Shuchao’s eyes shone with a glimr of hope.
“In total, seventy,” she said, handing fifty yuan to An Shuchao, “If we spend it carefully, there won’t be a problem.
The remaining twenty, I want to keep for capital, for my own use.
Dad, don’t make a fuss!”
Seeing the fifty yuan, An Shuchao’s previously clouded face suddenly cleared, “No problem, no problem!
After this New Year, I’ll go work at the kiln for a few days!”
An Hao nodded.
Once back ho, the mont An Hao showed up, Bai Xue ca out of the kitchen with a smile to greet her, “An Hao, tired, aren’t you?
Co have so water and rest!”
There’s an old saying that if soone is overly solicitous for no apparent reason, they’re up to no good.
Whenever Bai Xue put on such a look, she definitely had an ulterior motive.
Indeed, before An Hao could speak, Bai Xue promptly followed with a question, “So, how much did you sell for today at the market in town?”
“Not much,” An Hao didn’t want to tell her.
“Fifty!” An Shuchao’s voice ca from behind.
Upon hearing this, An Hao glared, frustrated—she could never expect her father to keep a secret.
“Wow!
That much?
An Hao is really brilliant!” Bai Xue’s face blood with joy, as she had been worried about not having money to spend.
Now that soone had earned so, it couldn’t be better.
“The money has been earned, but that’s all there is.
After the New Year, I plan to review my lessons and won’t be selling things anymore.
Whether that’s enough, you decide!” An Hao said sternly to Bai Xue, then turned and left.
Did she really think An Hao didn’t know?
In her past life, Bai Xue’s mother had co with her brother to take advantage often; how else would her own family’s life have been particularly difficult!
Bai Xue’s face turned unsightly after being rebuffed by An Hao.
“Xue, An Hao’s attitude isn’t good, but her words make sense.
You should manage this fifty yuan, along with the twenty from before, making seventy in total.
Set aside so for the children’s education and then plan the rest!” An Shuchao said as he handed the fifty yuan to Bai Xue.
“Don’t worry, Old An!
I’m not muddled, I know who’s close and who’s distant,” Bai Xue said with a laugh, stepping forward and pecking An Shuchao on the face.
“We’re old spouses now!
It’s embarrassing if soone sees!” An Shuchao said, but inwardly he was quite pleased.
“There’s nothing to be embarrassed about.” Bai Xue chided with a glance, “Old An, you’ve been working so hard, I’ll take good care of you tonight!”
Her aning of “taking good care of,” An Shuchao knew all too well.
Rembering the taste of his daughter-in-law, Bai Xue, which was quite irresistible, they hadn’t been intimate for a long ti.
Tempted by her suggestive look, he really felt his blood starting to boil, eager and impatient!
