Chapter 75 - 71: Pressuring for Money (Third Update)
Zhou Yunmei was taken aback; she didn’t expect Luo Zhiyong to be aware of this matter, much less to suddenly bring it up.
After regaining her composure, she stammered, "I... Yes, I happened to run into him and took it."
Luo Zhiyong pursed his lips and glanced at her, then reached out and said, "Then give me the redemption slip now, I’ll go to town tomorrow to withdraw money; once I withdraw it, I’ll give it to you as we originally agreed."
Zhou Yunmei was not one to keep her word. Once a redemption slip got into her hands, there was no way she would hand it over.
Her face tightened, and she started to rant at Luo Zhiyong, "What’s the meaning of this? If your salary can be given to your wife, why can’t it be given to me, your mother? The family hasn’t split up yet, so it’s only right that I manage the household matters."
Fang Pingying was truly at a loss. What kind of person was this? Not long ago, they were blamed for reneging on their promise to buy Luo Cuilan her dowry, but now she shamelessly breached her promise, showing no remorse whatsoever.
Fang Pingying would not just stand by and let her take the salary away like that. She said firmly, "Mom, we had an agreement about Zhiyong’s salary last time, and moreover, I’ve been the one buying groceries this month; you haven’t bothered with anything, which means you agreed to my proposal last time."
Zhou Yunmei curled her lips and shamelessly contradicted herself, "I disagree now. I think it’s better to live as we used to. Zhiyong’s in the army; he keeps a sum for his own expenses every month, and sends the rest back for me to hold onto. I assure you, no one will go hungry."
