Chapter 56: Chapter 56: Stubborn Denial

Hearing the commotion, Su Wanyu quickly lay down and pretended to be weak, but as soon as she saw her husband and daughter, she dropped the act, “You’re back.”

“Wife, I brought you so tasty treats.”

As Jiang Changhai spoke, he stuffed over so at buns and soda, whispering, “Hide these for now, eat them first after dinner, and if you get hungry later in the night, you can have them then.”

“Alrighty.” Su Wanyu imdiately sat up nimbly and happily stashed the items inside a cabinet.

Once she had hidden them, Jiang Changhai went to the kitchen to ask the old lady for money, “Mom, give the money, just three yuan to start with, and if it’s not enough, I’ll ask for more!”

As for buying new clothes for his wife, he would have to pay for it himself, because the old couple definitely wouldn’t agree to spend money on new clothes for Su Wanyu, their daughter-in-law.

Zhang Guihua rolled her eyes, and as she added firewood to the flas, she shouted, “All you do is ask for money every day, ungrateful wretch! I’ve told you, we don’t have any cloth tickets to make new clothes, what’s the use of just asking for money!”

Sun Lixia was even more sarcastic, “Why keep asking for money when we don’t have cloth tickets? You’re not planning to run off with all the household money, are you!”

Jiang Changhai didn’t want to argue with a woman, so he pulled out a cloth ticket from his pocket and waved it in front of them, “But I do have a cloth ticket!”

Seeing the cloth ticket, everyone’s eyes widened; they hadn’t expected him to actually have gotten one.

Zhang Guihua reached out to take the cloth ticket but Jiang Changhai agilely dodged her hand and glared at her, “Where did you get that cloth ticket from? Aren’t they only issued at the end of the year!”

“Cloth tickets are so scarce right now, don’t tell you found it on the road!”

Sun Lixia, with envy in her tone, said mockingly, “It better not be from cheating soone, because that would be committing a cri. You could get locked up for that! Sacrificing yourself for a girl, imagine how heartbroken our mother would be!”

Zhang Guihua was already unhappy hearing the initial accusations; although her son was lazy, he was certainly not likely to swindle or deceive!

But hearing what Sun Lixia said, her heart imdiately sank, “Where on earth did this cloth ticket co from? Without a clear explanation, there’s no way I’m giving you the money today!”

Jiang Changhai arched an eyebrow, “So if I explain clearly, you’ll give the money?”

Though anxious and worried, Zhang Guihua didn’t lose her senses and just snorted coldly, “I won’t give you any money if you just have the cloth ticket. Explain it clearly and fast!”

“I didn’t slouch off this afternoon; I went up the mountain during my break, caught so ga and exchanged it for this cloth ticket. No cheating or deceiving involved!”

Jiang Changhai glanced at Sun Lixia and deliberately shook the cloth ticket, “But it’s just one, and it’s for my daughter. Don’t anyone else get any crooked ideas.”

Upon hearing this, Zhang Guihua slamd the table in anger, dislodging a few cubes of chopped radish, “You wastrel, how much ga did it take to get just one cloth ticket? You’re only good at these useless tricks. What’s the use of getting so much for a daughter who might marry into another family soday? I’d like to see where you’ll go to cry then!”

Jiang Changhai replied with confidence, “My daughter is the smartest and most filial. I’d be too busy laughing having at to eat every day to care!”

Then he opened his palm and urged, “Hurry up with the money. We agreed yesterday that if I managed to get a cloth ticket, you would give the money to buy fabric.”

“I never said that!” Zhang Guihua flatly denied, having no intention of parting with any money.
