Lin Ze silently listened to Zhang Xiaohui’s impatient scolding and clenched his fists on his sides, if he wasn’t in a desperate situation and needed to snatch money from her, he wouldn’t have even bothered talking with her. Now that Zhang Xiaohui was no longer as fat as she was before, it could be said that she was looking a bit pretty with all that exceeds fat gone, however, to Lin Ze who was used to her face after so many years of living together didn’t find his wife good looking instead he believed that Zhang Xiaohui was still the same, the same fatty woman who didn’t deserve to be married off to him, such a good looking guy. From the day he married Zhang Xiaohui, he had always thought of himself as the good looking one in their marriage and thus, he was always impatient with Zhang Xiaohui even when he needed a favour from her ” Why are you asking unnecessary questions for? Just give me the money! Don’t tell me that you have no secret savings, you are not as kind and simple as to hand all your earnings to mother.”
Zhang Xiaohui bit her bottom lip, she indeed had some savings in hand but that money was something she saved for Lin Che and Lin Yunxi’s future. She was no longer as blinded as she was before, she could see that her son wasn’t cut for studying even after studying so hard for so many years, he still couldn’t reach the standard that Lin Rui reached in just a few months, with his capabilities it was better for him to stay at home and learn farming from her and his aunt but that brat was spoiled rotten by the entire family, if she suggested him to drop his studies, Lin Che will definitely make a fuss, thus instead of giving that money to her husband, she might as well save it for her son. Once Lin Che gets off his high horse like her he will be able to see that whatever she was doing was for his good.
Zhang Xiaohui in the end turned her gaze away from Lin Ze and softly muttered ” I don’t have any money, no matter what you say or how you ask me about it, there is not even a single penny in my hand.”
Lin Ze who originally wanted to talk patiently with Zhang Xiaohui and coax her into giving him money was furious, he had been talking nicely with her for so long and she was still adamant about not giving him any money? Fine. If she won’t give him money nicely, he will just take it from her! With this thought in his mind, Lin Ze refused to say even a single word to Zhang Xiaohui and turned around to look into the room, because he was angry he didn’t even bother trying to suppress the noise that he was making while creating such a loud ruckus. He created a din in the morning, causing everyone in the Lin Family to wake up … however, no one came to see what Lin Ze was doing, they all lifted their hands and covered their ears before falling asleep once again.
Lin Zhi wasn’t at home thus, there was no one in the old Lin family to support Zhang Xiaohui as she tried to stop Lin Ze who was trying to turn the entire room upside down. ” What are you doing? I said there is no money!”
”Shut up” snapped Lin Ze, he has been cooped in the house for so long, and he was now going through serious withdrawals after not going to the gambling shop for so many days. He was missing the liquor, the excitement and the thrill- he could no longer sit still, anyway his sister and wife were working, they would definitely save him from trouble in case he got entangled in one. There was nothing to worry about! So, how could he give up on this opportunity?
Zhang Xiaohui knew that Lin Ze was so insistent on getting his hands on money because he wanted to start gambling once again, seeing that excited look on his face, Zhang Xiaohui’s heart turned cold and she looked at him coldly ” I am telling you – don’t even think about gambling! You have a daughter who is at marriageable age and a son whom you need to take care of, if you waste the money at home like this what will happen to them?”
How could Lin Ze who was spoiled from a young age listen to her? He completely ignored her paying no mind to her rambling and when Zhang Xiaohui tried to stop him physically, he raised his hand and –
SLAP.
Zhang Xiaohui who was slapped so hard that her teeth rattled was shocked and then when the reality finally set in, she jumped at Lin Ze with a furious roar. But in the end, she was a woman and Lin Ze was a man- the difference in their strength wasn’t one to be ignored, with all his strength focussed on Zhang Xiaohui, Lin Ze knocked her down and then continued to look for the money that was hidden in the room. He finally found it under the loose soil that seemed to have been dug out a few days ago and with a gleeful chuckle ran out of the room.
Zhang Xiaohui whose waist was twisted because of the scuffle could only see her husband run off with her savings ad she cried ” Sin! I committed a sin marrying that bastard.”
