"I donāt want to think about it." Ye Ziāan waved his hand again, thinking that his sonās ability to earn money was even better than his own. He was already embarrassed, what more could he ask?
"Mom, donāt you want to take my money back? Or keep it for me?" Lele turned his head and asked.
To be honest, the reason he didnāt want his family to know was because of this. Adults take your money and before you know it, itās gone. Wanting to do something else later on wonāt be easy when you have to ask for it back.
"Put away your little schemes," Yang Chuxia gave his ear a playful pinch. "I was just curious about how much money you made, as for taking it, I didnāt really think about it. I originally thought if you could earn money, Iād stop giving you pocket money, but on second thought, forget it. You donāt get much allowance monthly. Your mom doesnāt mind that small amount."
But after saying that, Yang Chuxia sighed with a hint of sadness, "But Lele my dear, youāre so young and already able to make money. Itās really putting pressure on your mother."
Lele saw his momās little heart was fragile again and quickly gave Ye Ziāan a glance, "Your wife is upset, arenāt you going to console her?"
Ye Ziāan glared at him, "Youāre the one who upset my wife, and you want me to console her? Do you want a beating?"
How could Yang Chuxia not notice the silent contest between father and son?
Smiling inwardly, she saw Yangyang counting the banknotes on the side and asked humorously, "Yangyang, arenāt you going to let your mom help keep your money?"
Yangyang quickly stuffed the banknotes into his pouch and said, "Mom manages our familyās big money, which is already very tiring. My small amount of money is nothing to her, so I better not add more trouble."
"Pfft..." Yang Chuxia burst into laughter, "You little rascal, so clever, pretending to be considerate of your mother, when in fact youāre just a little miser. You really are a little sly one."
"Mom," upon hearing this, Yangyang pounced into Yang Chuxiaās arms, holding her around the neck, "You and dad, why do you both love testing us? Itās so boring. You didnāt even take my brotherās money, how would you take mine? Really, you had to test me too, itās so pointless."
"Saw through me again?" Yang Chuxia said to Ye Ziāan, "Our second child is getting harder to fool."
"Thatās right!"
Having been tricked out of three hundred taels by Yangyang, Lele deeply agreed.
Ye Ziāan nodded in agreement too.
As the family chatted and laughed, Ming Lan and the others had already set the dinner table. The people at the table were just the family, Old Mu had returned to the Luo Family in the evening, Yang Xiayun and Luo Linyu were on a diet lately and skipping dinner, so Yang Chuxia had to have some fruits sliced and snacks brought over.
After dinner, they each returned to their respective courtyards.
The next day they were going to the farm, and the kids were somewhat excited. As soon as they put down their bowls and chopsticks, Yangyang said he was going back to pack his things.
Yang Chuxia and Ye Ziāan then took the two little ones back to Bamboo Courtyard. After they put the children to sleep, when Yang Chuxia returned to the room, she found Ye Ziāan had already let his hair loose.
"Did you wash your bath too?"
"Of course not," Ye Ziāan smiled mischievously, "Weāll wash together, and while weāre at it, have some fun."
"..."
Yang Chuxia was speechless. Things related to love and intimacy, when it came out of Ye Ziāanās mouth, it was as common as saying letās have pancakes together tonight.
"Dear wife, wear this after your bath." He got hold of a piece of clothing from somewhere and shoveled it into Yang Chuxiaās hand.
