Chapter 101 - 095 Money is gone
Gao Yuzhu, agitated by the matters concerning his brother-in-law, lost his usual composure. He rushed forward and slapped Tian Chunfang twice, shouting:
"You wasteful woman, that’s three hundred yuan! Aren’t you going to get it back for me?"
"Why are you hitting me, Yuzhu? You’ve never hit me before?" Tian Chunfang was stunned by Gao Yuzhu’s slaps; since their marriage, had Gao Yuzhu ever laid a hand on her? At most, he would just scold her a few times.
Gao Yuzhu was nearly driven mad by this foolish woman. Tian Chunfang, that idiot, never grasped the crux of any matter. He roared furiously:
"Not hit you? I wish I could beat you to death. Do you realize how much money that is? Three hundred yuan! I’ve scrimped and saved for years to accumulate three hundred yuan, and you, a wasteful woman, squandered it all in an instant. Don’t you think you deserve to be hit?"
"My elder brother only borrowed it temporarily. After the wedding banquet, when we collect all the gift money, he will be able to pay me back. Why are you in such a hurry?" Tian Chunfang felt utterly wronged.
She wasn’t the type of woman who disregarded money. When she lent the money, she had thought it through—after the banquet, the gift money would surely cover the three hundred yuan she lent out. It wouldn’t even be a month; it was merely a matter of the money being in her brother’s hands temporarily. It was an opportunity to maintain good relations with her parents’ family without spending a cent. Such a favorable situation, yet her husband not only failed to praise her but also hit her. Tian Chunfang felt deeply aggrieved.
If it were any other time, Gao Yuzhu, once he calmed down, might have appreciated Tian Chunfang’s intentions. But now his head was swollen with other concerns, purely focused on how to use connections to save his brother-in-law’s government position. Thus, he didn’t listen much to Tian Chunfang’s explanations and sternly demanded that she retrieve the three hundred yuan immediately, not a cent less.
