Chapter 67 Attitude towards spending money

  Chu Lishou's face turned increasingly ugly, his eyebrows and eyes almost squeezed together, "It's all about you two, what's difficult or not difficult, it's just...just..."

  Chu Lishou's sighs came one after another, and it was unclear what kind of trouble he had encountered, so anxious that Mo Shi on the side almost shouted to ask.

  Finally, Chu Lishou sighed a few more times before saying, "We just had a fight."

  "What?" Mo seemed to have been bitten by something and stood up directly from the edge of the bed, realizing that his voice was too loud, hurriedly lowered his voice and asked unexpectedly: "What did you say? Did you quarrel with your mother?"

  Chu Lishou's head almost dropped to his chest, and he muttered: "Yeah, we've made a big fuss."

  "What's going on?" Mrs. Mo almost screamed, her biggest worry was that after all these years of being a filial son and she had been a obedient daughter-in-law for so long, how could they end up fighting with her mother-in-law and even her husband?

  At the mention of this, Chu Lishou suddenly raised his head, and his originally gloomy face turned into anger. His voice also became louder, "Originally I didn't want to quarrel, but I really can't stand it anymore. Tonight when we came back, you saw the things mother bought too, right? Take a look at those things, how many of them are actually for Father's birthday?"

  When she heard this, Mo was taken aback for a moment.

  When moving things at night, she naturally lent a hand. Even if she didn't know what all the stuff was, some of it looked like it wasn't for Mr. Chu's birthday celebration.

  Not to mention anything else, just that one piece of bright red cloth and that one piece of pale pink cloth are obviously things for women.

  It would be a lie to say that she didn't like it, but Mo knew in her heart that those things were not bought for herself or her own children. Now the only one who could use those things was Chu Liwan, who had yet to marry.

  Marriage is a big deal, so Mo didn't think much of anything else.

  As for this point, Mo thought that her husband should also think of it, besides, the one who was going to get married was his own sister, and he shouldn't be so angry about it!

  It seems there's more to this matter than meets the eye.

  Mo thought of this and asked again, "You saw it, but what does it have to do with you getting angry? The money was given by my mother, if she wants to buy it, let her buy it. Even if we were to separate from the family, didn't we think that she wouldn't give us much silver anyway?"

  The matter should have nothing to do with Chu Liwan, so Mo naturally thought of silver money.

  Ke Chu Li Gu shook his head again and let out a sigh, saying: "Mother buying things and whatnot, I'm not angry about that. Take a look at those things, apart from the food, the rest are either for Yan Yi's studies or for Wan Er's dowry. As both Third Uncle and Third Brother, how could I possibly be bothered with such trivial matters? What I'm angry about is Mother's attitude towards spending money!"

  Attitude towards spending money?

  Mo became more and more confused, completely unable to understand what was wrong with her own husband.

  "This time, Chu Lishou didn't wait for Madam Mo to ask again and continued: "Did you see that pork? The pork we bought during the New Year's was only a few dozen taels of silver. One catty was just over 30 cents, at most it wouldn't be more than 40 cents! And we bought so much, shouldn't we have been able to negotiate a better price?! But do you know how much that half pig cost? 42 cents per catty! 42 cents per catty! For two hundred catties of pork, we spent nearly three taels of silver more. And the rice and flour she bought, each catty was at least two cents more expensive... I don't know about the fabric, but following her spending habits, it's probably not a small amount either! In just one day, we've wasted so much silver, can you say that this is how we should be living?"
