Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife novel Chapter 1341

Chapter 1341: Chapter 1342: Money Is the Demon-Revealing Mirror of Marriage

Hualing and her family indeed hosted two or three tables at the Joy Soon Loy Restaurant, inviting everyone for a boisterous meal, and as for the dishes, Hualing is someone who cares about face, so they were all top-notch.

Just before settling the bill, Qiulan came to Cheng Su and said a few words, and Cheng Su pursed her lips, deciding to offer a twenty percent discount and round off the final sum.

What Qiulan mentioned wasn’t anything new; she had noticed Chen Shouwang looking bitterly at the bill, finding it quite embarrassing. He probably thought it was too expensive and felt financially strapped, which is why she informed Cheng Su.

After returning home, Cheng Su recounted this incident to Qi Taiguo.

"At the banquet, you could see him grinning ear to ear, genuinely happy. But when it was time to settle the bill, his expression turned sour. No doubt the pressure on him is quite significant. Tonight, I noticed even his temples had turned slightly gray." Particularly, Hualing is known to pride herself on appearances, and the dishes ordered were not inexpensive.

Qi Taiguo commented, "After that incident, he was demoted, and his allowance has become smaller, even more so now with a child, more expenses to cover, household costs too; if anything happened at home, it would be another bill, naturally tough to handle."

Cheng Su was naturally aware, Hualing is just a nurse, earning a fixed salary; how much could she possibly afford to squander?

"It’s tough!" She sighed.

Poverty-stricken couples find sorrow in everything; it doesn’t seem apparent now, but when financial constraints hit hard, conflicts will increase due to money. Especially with what Chen Shouwang did before, even if Hualing seems unaffected right now, the thorn is still there; no matter how well she pretends, it can still sting once in a while.

So, will Hualing always avoid bringing this up in the future?

Cheng Su didn’t think so.

"Now, Chen Shouwang seems to be following Hualing’s every word, but just wait, as time goes on, ha." Cheng Su smirked.

Qi Taiguo glanced over, "Why do it seem like you’re eagerly waiting to watch things turn awkward, wanting calamity to strike?"

Cheng Su’s face grew warm, glaring, "Get lost! Do you think I’m that kind of person? I’m just discussing the matter as it is!"
