Chapter 91 - 86: The Great Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law Battle (Second Update)
After scolding Fang Pingying, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law continued to argue.
Honestly, when it came to verbal sparring, Zhou Yunmei was no match for Fang Xiu, who quickly defeated her and rendered her speechless.
But Zhou Yunmei had her own tactics. Seeing she couldn’t outtalk Fang Xiu, she began to leverage her control.
She turned to Luo Zhiming, who had been silent, and attacked, "Zhiming, your wife is something else. I can’t control her. From now on, I won’t interfere with whatever she wants to do, but one thing—like your elder brother, you must contribute food expenses to the family."
"Your elder brother earns more in the army, I won’t compare you two. If you two are staying at home, you need to pay three yuan a month for food expenses, otherwise, I won’t cook for you. Go eat wherever you want, and if it’s really unbearable, we can consider splitting the household."
Hearing Zhou Yunmei bring up splitting the household set Luo Zhiming’s heart racing. If they really did split, not only would he have no pocket money, but even eating would become an issue. He planned to mooch off his mother for his entire life.
After all, he knew his elder brother made money and would not give Zhou Yunmei less than needed. The elderly couple couldn’t use it all up, and in the end, it would still benefit him. He would be foolish not to take advantage of this.
Since he had to please Zhou Yunmei, Luo Zhiming had to sacrifice his wife’s feelings.
He winked at Fang Xiu, and then, like a man of high status in the family, deliberately stern-faced, he yelled at Fang Xiu, "Go back! Mom is right. What’s the harm in scolding you a bit? Can’t even talk now?"
Fang Xiu and Zhou Yunmei were in the heat of their argument, and she didn’t notice Luo Zhiming winking, assuming that Luo Zhiming was siding with Zhou Yunmei.
