"Did you hear that someone said Zhang Yu’s family has hidden some good stuff?" Zhao Gui knew that Zhao Juan definitely heard this news, which is why she pulled this stunt. Auntie Zhao thought Zhao Gui never knew, but unexpectedly, he did know, "Zhang Yu used to catch a lot of fish." "Yes, she could catch a lot of fish, but why didn’t you consider that at that time, whether it’s Zhao Lei or Zhao Hong, how good their complexion was, how much they had grown?" "And where did Zhang Yu get a lot of cotton from?" "And her family bought bicycles and radios, all these cost money." "Calculate how much their total income was." "Even if she caught a lot of fish, she also spent a lot." "As for whether she really has any stock, after over a year, how much do you think is left?" "You think there’s no family in the compound without some stock?" "Even our family, we have some things, more or less." "You hear them talk, but look at who actually acts, none of them want to be the first to stand out." "Only Zhao Juan, that idiot." Zhao Gui gets angry just thinking about it, looking disdainfully at Auntie Zhao, "Getting married, you really need to choose a wife carefully." "Don’t expect the wife to be too beautiful or from a good family, at least she shouldn’t be a fool." "Or else, what if the children born are all fools?" Zhao Gui suddenly felt it was a good thing Auntie Zhao didn’t have a son, "Luckily, you gave birth to a daughter who can marry and mess with others." "Otherwise, if the son was as stupid as you mother and daughter, I would cry to death." "Fortunately, Xiao Jian is smart." Occasionally, Zhao Gui regrets, but now he kind of feels fortunate. If he had to choose between a stupid biological son and a smart adopted son, he would still choose the latter, to lighten his burden a bit. Every time they argued before, Auntie Zhao was especially worried about hearing Zhao Gui mention her not having children. Now Zhao Gui didn’t resent her for not having a son, instead he was full of praise for her not having one, Auntie Zhao suddenly felt it would be better if he despised her for not having a son. "Alright, tomorrow go see your daughter and tell her, if she wants to divorce, then divorce, but don’t come back to the parental home." "I don’t want a daughter who calculates every move for her in-laws at the expense of her family." "Since in her heart and eyes, all there is are her in-laws, then there’s no need to come back to the parental home." "Also, if you keep giving things from the house to your daughter, I have no objections, but don’t take away our father and son’s food." "If you must take, take your own share." Zhao Gui always knew his wife would send food over to Zhao Juan. He thought that after all, she is their own daughter, and she has children, so subsidizing a bit is understandable. Now he realized that there has never been any gratitude from the help given to Zhao Juan, instead, she thinks he subsidizes too little. "I, I.." Auntie Zhao looked at Zhao Gui, whose face was elongated, and decided to keep silent, anyway she was the one who cooked all the meals at home, then control a bit down to send to Zhao Juan, who would know. Watching his wife keep quiet, Zhao Gui knew her thoughts, but remained silent, knowing where the family’s grain was consumed, he found it all and locked it in the cupboard. "In the future, for dinner, wait for Xiao Jian to come back, he will prepare the quantity." "Dinner, breakfast, and lunch, all will be measured." Zhao Gui knew Xiao Jian would definitely be willing to do this. Ah ah ah, Auntie Zhao didn’t expect that Zhao Jian was tasked with watching over her, she knew that wanting to send food to Zhao Juan was impossible, unless she saved her own food for Zhao Juan. When Zhao Jian came home in the evening and learned about this arrangement, he was happy, "Dad, don’t worry." "I’ll definitely do it well, but I think sister is really skinny.." Zhao Jian wished Zhao Juan would die. He still remembered how Zhao Juan and her mother bullied him; as long as something happened to Zhao Juan, Auntie Zhao wouldn’t need to be concerned, she was just a paper tiger, always silent. But in front of Zhao Gui, he knew how to be a good brother, wasn’t it just acting, who couldn’t act. "No need, she has her own income, her own quota, if she insists on caring for her in-laws and husband, that’s her choice." "Neither the child’s grandma nor father cares for the child, we don’t need to care either." Every now and then Zhao Gui looked across, and when he saw the lights turn on, "Xiao Jian, let’s go to Zhang Yu’s house." Auntie Zhao watched the father and son head across the street, punching their backs, "Excessive, hateful." Zhang Yu had just arrived home, feeling that the house was cold, swiftly went to light the kang. As the weather turned cold, lighting the kang felt nice, even though it consumed a lot of firewood, they would always bring some back whenever they went up the mountain. Just after lighting the kang, she saw Zhao Gui and his son coming over, knowing they probably came to apologize. Googlᴇ search novel⟡fire.net As she expected, the first thing Zhao Gui did when he walked in was apologize, "I really didn’t give Zhao Juan any ideas." "Today, when I heard her talking about divorce, I was stunned." "Zhao Juan is indeed my biological daughter, but as for this daughter, I don’t even want to give her any respect." "Uncle Zhao, I know you wouldn’t conspire with Zhao Juan against me, that girl’s brain probably doesn’t even consider you." Zhang Yu understood Zhao Juan’s heart only had Liu Family people, luckily she’s not her own daughter, otherwise, she would really be furious. But just letting Zhao Juan off the hook easily wasn’t in her nature, "Uncle Zhao, I could outright refuse Zhao Juan, but you can’t." "You’re her father, if the child is in a bad situation, when the street, police station or factory comes looking for you, you tell them what you will do." Liu Ming was not a diligent person, although formally employed, his salary was not high, plus Mother Liu considered herself elderly, the head of the family, needing to eat well and dress well, so Liu Ming’s income was inadequate for Mother Liu’s expenditure. Zhao Gui knew Zhang Yu wasn’t happy, she wanted him to step in and give Zhao Juan a serious lesson or two. He was displeased, feeling Zhang Yu was really too aggressive, but after listening to some analysis, he found it made a lot of sense. "Rest assured, I won’t be soft-hearted, nor indulgent to the old lady." Zhao Gui didn’t want his own family dragged down by such an ungrateful daughter. As Zhao Gui and his son were about to leave, Zhao Lei spoke, "That day I saw Zhao Juan, Liu Ming and Zhao Lin, going to the state-run restaurant to eat, that day there was braised pork available." "They ordered two portions of meat." Zhao Lei originally didn’t want to say, he thought it was an internal matter between Zhao Gui and his brother. Since Liu Ming and Zhao Juan made life difficult for them in various ways, let them be troubled first, only when they’re busy won’t they plot against her. Going to the state-run restaurant for a meal, ordering two portions of meat, whenever Zhao Gui felt like eating meat, he would sneak to the state-run restaurant with Xiao Jian, though the supply was irregular, the quantity limited, and the price high, there were still plenty who came to indulge. Every time he went out to eat meat, Zhao Gui felt heartache to death. Unexpectedly, Zhao Juan, who cried poor in front of them, was so generous, inviting Zhao Lin to eat, and having two portions at once.
