Chapter 1545 Unreasonable 3
"Thrifty and good at managing the household? Pah! If you wanted someone like that, you shouldn’t have married me!" Shen Qing lashed out at Su Meixiang after coming home in the evening, and Su Meixiang immediately exploded, "The real problem is you can’t make any money! Look at the wife and kids of Commander Lu—what are they wearing? Then look at me, I’m not even dressed as well as their kids!"
Shen Qing’s face turned not only pale but dark—dark as ink.
"Su Meixiang!" He growled deeply, "You’re crossing the line! Why are you dragging Commander Lu’s wife into this? She’s been here for over a month and hasn’t acted like you, buying new clothes and shoes every other day. You want to buy clothes and shoes, I’ve never stopped you. Wanting to dress up nicely isn’t wrong—it’s only natural. You’re my revolutionary partner, and it’s my duty to meet all your reasonable needs. Even old soldiers in the army, once they have money, want to buy imported watches—it’s human nature. But all I’m asking is for you to keep enough money for food for yourself and the child before you spend on what you want. Don’t let yourself and the child go hungry—it’s a miserable feeling being hungry."
"Who says I’ve gone hungry? Who says I’ve starved your son? Whoever says that, bring them here and let them confront me! Ten years ago, we couldn’t even dream of meals like this, and now you’re acting all picky!" Su Meixiang stood with her hands on her hips, eyebrows furrowed and eyes glaring fiercely.
Shen Feng saw his parents arguing and shrank into a ball, hiding in his room without uttering a sound.
Deep down, he wanted to eat meat. It had been a very long time since he’d had any. Only when dad was home could he go with him to a restaurant and eat a bowl of "Peach Blossom Noodles" with roasted pork and marinated egg—it was delicious! But he didn’t dare ask for it, afraid mom would beat him.
