Chapter 16: The Luo Family's Profligacy

For example, when it came to sending some living expenses to his family, Fang Pingying felt that he was too indulgent to the entire Luo family.

He himself was frugal in the army, and sent most of the money back a month, but Zhou Yunmei, who was used to it, ate and drank at home.

Anyway, Fang Pingying doesn't care what he did before, now that they are married, the two of them will have to live in the future.

She must plan the lives of the two of them well, and she can't let the two of them go without eating or drinking, and they can't wait to break a penny in half and spend it, but let the family spend money so lavishly.

Sure enough, Fang Pingying's strategy was correct, as soon as Zhou Yunmei heard that the money was placed with Luo Zhiyong, she remembered Luo Zhiyong's face when she asked her to take out the money yesterday morning, pouted, and didn't continue to ask.

Fang Pingying looked at her reaction, naturally knew what she was thinking, smiled secretly, didn't speak, and continued to cook noodles.

Zhou Yunmei stayed in the stove house for a while, but she also asked how Luo Zhiyong's legs were.

Fang Pingying didn't directly say that Luo Zhiyong was fine, lest Zhou Yunmei think that Luo Zhiyong's leg injury was no big deal and no longer pay attention to it, but only said that she would go to the county seat next month to see when she would be fine.

Zhou Yunmei listened, didn't ask any more questions, and went out with a slightly calm face.

Fang Pingying stayed in Luo's house for a few days, the family lived together, mother-in-law, sister-in-law, and concubine lived together, naturally there were often some stumbling things, just Zhou Yunmei didn't know how many times she had to black her face a day.

But fortunately, it's all small noises, and there are no big things, so life can be lived.

However, in the past few days in the Luo family, Fang Pingying has discovered that the people of the Luo family really enjoy life.

Regardless of whether you have money or not, the food at home will never be bad.

In this era, people have no work outside, most of them are working in the family farm, and they don't earn much money in a year, so they have to calculate and live.

Many people are unpalatable for a month, because the price of meat is expensive, and they don't know how much they can do for a pound of meat, and most people eat some vegetables and fruits grown at home, at most they eat some eggs from their own hens and beat their teeth.

But the Luo family is completely different, their family basically buys meat every few days, and they buy at least two catties at a time, unlike the few taels of meat that other people's families occasionally buy.

Because the village butchers don't kill pigs every day, they have to go to the market to buy them.

At this time, the market is rushed once every three days, and there is nothing to sell in the town at other times, in order to always have meat to eat, Zhou Yunmei will buy a few catties of meat as long as she goes to the market, and then put it at home.

And it's okay to spend money on meat like this, because Zhou Yunmei is too lazy, and she never deals with it in time after she comes back from buying meat, so she just hangs it there.

If the winter is good, it won't be bad for two or three days, but now that it's summer, the weather is starting to get hot, and the meat will be bad the next day if you leave it for one night at most.

Sometimes, when the meat is not too bad, the family will eat it, and what is really inedible will be wasted.

Looking at the wasted things, Fang Pingying was reluctant to give up, because this meat was bought back by her man, and others couldn't eat it if they wanted to, but Zhou Yunmei didn't blink her eyes, saying that the bad meat couldn't be eaten and would get sick.

She ate it twice, and finally vomited and diarrhea, and finally spent more money on medical treatment than she spent on meat.

This is true if it were placed thirty years later, but in this era, especially in the countryside, you can see how much she squandered. And every time she says it, she still doesn't think about solving it next time, which is no different from burning money.

If Fang Pingying can take care of it, Fang Pingying will deal with it, and when she can't take care of it, the meat will be bad.

And it's not just the food, but also the clothes of the family and some personal contacts with the people in the village.

Zhou Yunmei pulls cloth to make new clothes every month, as long as she sees something she likes in the town, she buys it without thinking about money.

Some of the people in the village are also in contact, she seems to show that her family has money, others occasionally send her some home-grown melons and fruits, she is directly giving money as soon as she makes a move, and she gives three or five yuan as soon as she makes a move.

Some kind-hearted people know that they will always return the money when the time is right, but some unconscious people just want to take advantage.

In addition to Zhou Yunmei, Luo Cuilan and Luo Zhiming are also good at spending money.

Luo Cuilan asked Zhou Yunmei for five yuan of pocket money every month, and she spent all the clothes and some things she needed for girls, and occasionally she would have to ask for more special things.

Luo Zhiming asked Zhou Yunmei for money twice in three days, and he didn't even need to say the reason, he just gave it directly.

In the past, Luo Zhiming was alone, but now with Fang Xiu, Fang Xiu is a calculating, she knows that Zhou Yunmei has money in her hands, and she even instigated Luo Zhiming to go to Zhou Yunmei to get the money for three days.

This also made Fang Pingying completely understand why Zhou Yunmei was so short of money, if she lived like this, everyone would be short of money, and Zhou Yunmei had to save some in private, so no matter how much Luo Zhiyong sent home, the money was far from enough.

In this way, Fang Pingying was reluctant to come as she had discussed with Luo Zhiyong before, she decided to send back twenty yuan a month was still too much, she was not a fool, and Zhou Yunmei squandered her man's hard-earned money at home.

On this day, after dinner, Zhou Yunmei nagged at home because Luo Zhi asked for three yuan from her tomorrow.

"I only brought two yuan a few days ago, and now I came to get the money, and I don't know that your eldest brother is now recuperating at home, and it costs a lot of money a day, and your sister-in-law took one hundred and five dollars when I went back to the county to treat my legs, and the family is almost out of money to eat, you don't care about anything, so you use it lavishly."

Everyone can hear that Zhou Yunmei's mouth seems to be blaming Luo Zhiming for spending too much, but the implication is that Fang Pingying took away Luo Zhiyong's money for treating his legs, so the family's money is so tight.

In fact, Zhou Yunmei had already talked about the money last time, and Fang Pingying didn't want to quarrel with her, so she ignored her all the time.

But there is always a limit to people's patience, Fang Pingying endured it once, and she won't endure it a second time, she looked at Zhou Yunmei coldly, and said directly, "Mom, it's better to break Zhiyong's leg, don't treat it, and give you some money left over from the last time to give it to Zhiming, okay?" ”

After speaking, she turned her head to Luo Zhiyong and said, "Zhiyong, put the money under the box, you go and take it out for your mother, we won't cure your leg." ”

Although Luo Zhiyong doesn't care about family affairs, it doesn't mean that he doesn't know Zhou Yunmei's thoughts, it's just that in the end it is his biological mother, he has something to say, and besides, he is a big man, and he feels that he has been wronged.

But Zhou Yunmei was really too much, and once or twice in front of them, she indirectly and directly mentioned his money for treating his leg injury, even the most tolerant people couldn't bear it.

Luo Zhiyong felt uncomfortable at this time, he glanced at Zhou Yunmei and didn't speak, but there was already a faint impatience on his face.

The son born by himself, Zhou Yunmei naturally understands him.

Looking at Luo Zhiyong's appearance, Zhou Yunmei didn't dare to say any more, she muttered in a low voice, "I mean that Zhiming spends a lot of money, what does it have to do with you, who said that you won't be allowed to cure your legs." ”
