Chapter 300: Chapter 301 Mom’s Standardized Language

Just then, the old lady asked, and he didn’t need to look for an opportunity anymore, so he directly took the chance to speak.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Guihua’s face grew even darker.

She stretched out her hand, pointing at Jiang Changhai’s nose and bellowed, “Jiang Changhai, have you gotten too proud, learned some tricks? Has the Old Jiang Family become too small for you? Let me tell you, no, I don’t agree with this. You all settle down and come home to eat; don’t bother me with this nonsense.”

“Ah, mom, don’t be angry. It’s still eating no matter where we do it. If we eat in the dorm, the house won’t need to prepare our meals, and you can have some leisure time, right?” Jiang Changhai said earnestly, even patting the old lady’s back.

Zhang Guihua shrugged off his arm and said with a cold, firm face, “No, when there is food available at home, why do you want to eat outside?”

When they ate at home, the Eldest would still buy some meat and fish every now and then to improve their meals.

If they went out to eat, although it might save some groceries, would the Eldest still buy things in the future?

Zhang Guihua was still able to discern the gains and losses.

“Yes, big brother, just come home to eat tonight. We have everything at home; why waste money? Starting a fire elsewhere, people might think you have some conflict with the family,” Sun Lixia said sarcastically as she also advised.

She wanted to align her thoughts with Zhang Guihua.

Since Jiang Changhai had money, they could eat meat every four or five days. If this big room didn’t come back to eat, how could they continue to take advantage of this?

Jiang Changhai was well aware of what they were thinking. He ignored Sun Lixia and directly spoke to the old lady, “Mom, don’t be angry. Here’s the thing, although we won’t come back to eat, I will take care of the monthly meat for you and dad.”

“I will give you both a salary of five yuan each month as a way to honor you and dad. Buy whatever you both like to eat.”

As he spoke, Jiang Changhai took out five yuan from his pocket and handed it to Zhang Guihua, “Mom, here’s the five yuan, my advance tribute for this month.”

Zhang Guihua received the money with a look of surprise. She had been thinking about finding an opportunity to have the Eldest hand over his monthly salary to her for safekeeping.

But the Eldest had always been upright since childhood and it was tough to get him to agree to hand over his salary to her, so

And it had been agreed before that they would make up for it at the end of the year based on their work points.

The salary of the Eldest per month was definitely more than that of the second and the third now. It wouldn’t be fair to the Eldest’s family if his salary was made communal.

Although Zhang Guihua understood this clearly in her mind, the words she spoke and the actions she took were completely different.

After all, people are never satisfied and are always pushing the boundaries.

With the five yuan in her hand, Zhang Guihua was still not satisfied, “Eldest, your monthly salary is over twenty yuan, why only give me this much? Take out another ten yuan, keep it with mom; I’ll help you save from spending too freely.”

Jiang Mianmian listened to this familiar argument thinking it really was a universal language used by mothers nationwide.

The money she had earned from selling sunflower seeds was still being ‘safeguarded’ by her mother.

Jiang Changhai replied, unchanged in his expression, “Mom, I am all grown up, I can manage my own money. Plus, I have a wife and a daughter now; I have to support my family. You don’t need to take care of this five yuan for me; it is just my way of honoring you and dad. Buy whatever you both like, and if we fall short at dinner by the end of the year in work points, I will cover that too.”
