Chapter 61: Chapter 61: For the Wife and Kids
“How did you two find such a hidden place?” Su Wanyu asked curiously, her excitement evident.
Jiang Changhai proudly replied, “Our girl has sharp eyes; she spotted this hidden mouse hole right away!”
Jiang Mianmian was initially modest, but hearing her dad praise her like that, she also felt awesome and powerful, “I do have a cheat code!”
The couple didn’t understand what a cheat code was but didn’t care either.
Su Wanyu moved closer and planted a big kiss on her daughter’s face, “I knew our girl was a little lucky star!”
Getting kisses from her beautiful mom was nothing short of blissful. It would be even better if mom didn’t compete with her for things.
The Scholar Tyrant System was extremely proud, “Host, this is the result of studying hard. Remember, ‘In books, there are houses of gold, in books, there are beautiful damsels’—”
“I know, I know.” Jiang Mianmian quickly interrupted it; mentioning studying now was a buzzkill, “Dad, how are we going to get this grain back home?”
Jiang Changhai said, “We’ll hide the grain for now and haul it straight to town tomorrow to sell.”
With a whole houseful of people and eyes everywhere, they couldn’t start a fire in their own home without the old lady and Sun Lixia noticing.
This was the downside of not splitting the household!
After thinking for a while, he quickly chose a small hillside to hide it; it was on the route he took when driving Jiang Mianmian to school.
After busily working for a good two hours, the family cautiously returned home, washed up a bit, and then went to bed.
Jiang Changhai, after a long day, didn’t feel tired at all. He lay with his arms behind his head and suddenly said, “I’m thinking of splitting the household!” @@novelbin@@
“Why is that?”
“Ah!”
The first exclamation was from Su Wanyu, shocked; the second was from an exhausted Jiang Mianmian who almost fell asleep but was jolted awake by her own mother…
“How would we manage if we split the household?” Su Wanyu sighed, it was not that she didn’t want to, but their home conditions were simply not feasible, “The labor points we earn from our work aren’t enough to support three people.”
As Jiang Changhai fanned his wife and child, he was calculating in his mind, “If we could split, I could openly provide both of you with whatever you wanted to eat or drink, without having to hide or worry about others gossiping behind our backs.”
For his wife and child, no matter how much work it took, he never felt tired; there was always energy in his heart!
But at the current stage, his parents would definitely not agree to split, and they genuinely didn’t have any extra money. They could only maintain the status quo for now.
Having gone to bed late, the next day, bright and early before dawn, Jiang Mianmian was pulled out of bed by her dad, they washed up, and Jiang Changhai carried her out of the house.
Half-asleep, her dad stuffed an egg into her hand, “Eat this.”
He had just snuck it from the chicken coop.
“We’re going early today. I’ll bring the village’s old ox, drop you at school, then sell the grain. I’ll bring you some good things to eat later.”
At the mention of good food, Jiang Mianmian was wide awake now. She rubbed her eyes and started munching on the egg, “Dad, how much money can we get for the grain?”
“Enough to buy each you and your mom a set of clothes, with some left over.” Jiang Changhai was in a great mood, moving faster than usual. Despite the load, he carried his daughter steadily, “Here we are, wait at the door.”
Jiang Mianmian slung her little schoolbag and watched, impressed, as her dad boldly led the team’s old ox out.
There was nothing her dad didn’t dare to do!
What do you think?
