Chapter 516: Calculation
Chapter 516: Calculation
Duan Xuzhang was muttering while drinking. He was talking to his son, but he knew his son couldn't hear him, so he could only listen to it himself.
"As for Baye poisoning you, I have to take Siyu's feelings and reputation into consideration, but do you know how many times I shocked her? You know I never hit a woman, but do you know how hard I hit her that time? Now she is a useless person, right? Do you know that, son?
That day, Baye advised you to go home and live there. You thought she was speaking in a sarcastic way, but you didn't know that she was telling the truth. Because I said that for every day you were outside, she would be tortured. Only when you came back and accepted her apology would she be able to escape my torture.
Now Baye is imprisoned in a villa. Her freedom is only superficial. She is under surveillance 24 hours a day. Son, do you know?
But, Dad did so much for you, but in the end he lost you. Sijiong, what do you want me to do so that I can forgive Dad?
Siyu knew that his mother poisoned you. He watched his mother being beaten but never pleaded for her. He just silently applied medicine to his mother every day.
Siyu cares about your brotherhood, can't you just stop caring about it for Siyu's sake?"
After a few days of silence, Si Jiong finally calmed down. However, he no longer smiled and tried to make Orange happy. Instead, he put all his energy into tinkering with diet, and the meals he cooked became more exquisite.
Si Jiong would pick the ingredients himself, because Feng Lan always bought cheap food, and the food she bought always tasted bad.
Shi Fenglan didn't trust him, fearing that he would steal money while she was buying groceries. Every day, she followed Si Jiong to buy groceries, and when she came back, she would complain about the high prices of the groceries Si Jiong bought:
"You said it was the same beef, but you didn't buy the one that cost 40 yuan a pound, but insisted on buying imported beef that cost more than 90 yuan a pound. Isn't this deliberately wasting the young lady's money?"
Juzi covered his head as he listened, thinking, you get what you pay for, don't you know? You are saving money and buying the leftovers, but I don't need you to save a little money for me. I don't want to eat rotten leaves and stale meat.
But Juzi knew that Shi Fenglan was afraid of being poor, and she was kind-hearted, thinking of budgeting for her, and couldn't bear to embarrass her, so she could only look at her and nag. It was Jiang Tongqiu who said a few words to her:
"It's expensive for a reason. Miss is short of money. Why don't you eat something good and remember the good old days with you?"
Lian Cuiwei knew that Juzi was kind, and the more she treated disadvantaged groups, the softer she was, so she tried to smooth things over: "Brother Jiang is right, making money is for enjoyment, otherwise why bother making money? Different regions produce different tastes, just like the same cabbage, some are delicious and some are not."
Shi Fenglan also knew that she was in the wrong. She just felt sorry for the money, but she still muttered in a low voice: "That's too expensive. It's more than doubled."
Seeing her aggrieved look, everyone in the living room laughed.
Aunt Liang said, "If you ask me, Xiaoshi, don't worry about what the young lady eats in the future. Si Jiong can spend as much money as he wants, just turn a blind eye to it and save yourself from worrying about it every day."
Lian Cui smiled and said, "I think it's OK."
Shi Fenglan was not happy: "You are talking without any hesitation. Miss only makes 5,000 yuan a month now. She has to draw those blueprints day and night. How tiring! Not to mention that she has to feed these people, even the food expenses are not enough. If she doesn't save some money, she will have to starve in the future."
