Zhou Honglin glared at her, questioning, “Didn’t I transfer five hundred dollars to you?”
At that, Zhou Hongying immediately got up and came quickly, following her brother’s words, “Hai Ling, you’re ignoring Hong Lin’s money, aren’t you, and telling me that Hong Lin only gave you three hundred yuan, which can’t buy much shrimps and crabs.”
Hai Ling didn’t even raise her head, and continued to feed her son, reminding Zhou Honglin indifferently, “I told you, it’s your mother and your sister who are coming, you should have paid for the food yourself and cooked for them, if you let me do it, you will have to pay two hundred yuan for the labor.”
“I don’t owe you guys anything, I have to cook for you for nothing, I don’t get any benefit and you point at me and curse me.”
Wasn’t that how she used to work?
Zhou Honglin choked again.
When Zhou Hongying looked at her brother’s face, she knew that what Hai Ling said was true, and she resentfully returned to the sofa and sat down.
She went back to the sofa and sat down. She accused Hai Ling indignantly again, “Hai Ling, you and Hong Lin are husband and wife, what is the point of separating husband and wife so clearly? Besides, Mum and I are also your in-laws, you married into our Zhou family and are a member of the Zhou family, a family, so you have to cook for us and charge Hong Lin for the labour.”
“It would be better to do that than to have Hong Lin invite us out for dinner, and eat a little better.”
Hai Ling looked up twice at her husband and great aunt, and then fed her son again, “The aa system, let’s each live our own lives, no one owes anyone anything.” m.
Zhou family: “……”
They asked Zhou Honglin to propose aa, in terms of spending money aa, not in terms of household chores as well.
But Hailing enforced it to the end, leaving them with nothing to say, after all, it was Zhou Honglin who proposed the aa system.
“Of course, if you guys are heartbroken about the money you pay me for human labour, when you come over in the future, feel free to let Honglin treat you to a hotel, I’m happy to relax and be at ease.”
She didn’t want to serve this disgusting family now either.
Zhou Honglin glared at her fiercely for a while, didn’t dwell on her any further and turned to her mother and sister, “Mum, sister, let’s eat.”
With that, he took the lead and walked towards the kitchen, bringing out Hailing’s finished dishes and placing them on the dining table.
There was just a plate of shrimps, a plate of crabs, and no green vegetables at all.
Zhou Honglin couldn’t help but ask Hailing, “Just no green vegetables?”
“You just gave me three hundred dollars for seafood, there was no extra money for greens.”
Zhou Honglin: “……”
Usually, when she asked him for living expenses, he was calculating with her, and when she bought an extra dollar, he would bite the bullet and accuse her of spending money without calculating, just knowing how to spend money indiscriminately.
Now, it was her turn to be calculating with him, and she would buy as much as he gave her, literally a penny more for her groceries, and she wouldn’t even stick it in.
“It’s okay, Hong Lin, your sister and I don’t like green vegetables either, just shrimps and crabs will do.”
Zhou’s mother was afraid that this would cause another row between the couple, so she hurriedly rounded up the situation.
Zhou Honglin took a few deep breaths, suppressed his anger, turned back into the kitchen and used three large bowls to share all the rice in the rice cooker, then put the rice cooker in the dishwashing tray, turned on the tap and filled it with half a pot of water to soak the rice cooker, before coming out with three large bowls of rice.
“Hai Ling, it’s time to eat.”
It was only Zhou’s mother who symbolically called out to Hai Ling, the pair of siblings were both sitting down to eat on their own.
“You guys eat first, I’ll feed Yang Yang before I eat.”
Hai Ling casually responded.
This was also her daily routine.
Ever since she had her son, every time she ate, they ate first and she had to finish feeding the baby before she could eat.
When her sister was still living here, she would save some food for her in advance, so that she wouldn’t have leftovers after feeding the baby.
