Chapter 324: The Family Has Come

Qin Wenhao said calmly, "She gave us five thousand. The refrigerator was two thousand—I thought it was a pretty good one. After buying the electric fan and other things, this is what’s left. You have to be the one to hold onto our family’s money."

This time, Fu Mingxue didn’t accept it. "Don’t you still have things you need to buy? Just keep the rest of the money; you don’t have to give it to me."

"It’s fine. If I run out of money, I can just go back and get more."

Qin Wenhao’s words left Fu Mingxue speechless.

’Just listen to him.’

’How can he be such a moocher?’

"This money is from your mother-in-law, a little contribution to our new home. Just take it."

Fu Mingxue: ...?

’Didn’t you just shamelessly go and ask for it? He can’t just keep fleecing his mother like this!’

’What happens when she’s been plucked bald?’

’Then again, her mother-in-law really was loaded.’

’She gave them a ton for the wedding, and now another five thousand. The money from getting married was more than what she’d had in two lifetimes combined.’

Qin Wenhao counted out five hundred from the two thousand five hundred in his hand, then stuffed the remaining two thousand into Fu Mingxue’s hand.

"Honey, I’ll just take five hundred. You hold onto the rest."

Seeing that he was only taking five hundred, Fu Mingxue took the two thousand and put it away.

She joked, "Your mom won’t think I made you go ask her for this money, will she?"

"No way. She offered it herself. Besides, she knows what you’re like; she’d never think you would ask her for money."

"Honey, don’t overthink it. I was supposed to get this money anyway. She’s already divided up the family property, and this five thousand is part of my share. In the future, she won’t have any more to give us, even if we ask."

"Of course, my parents still have their own money, so they’ll give us more eventually."

Fu Mingxue: ...?

She was shocked.

’He’s already got his eye on his parents’ money?’

’How had she never realized before that he was the type to live off his parents?’

’In her memory, Qin Wenhao was the kind of person who would never ask his family for a single cent.’

’So upright and principled that he wouldn’t even take money when his family offered it to him.’

’Now... that idealized image of him had just shattered all over the floor.’

"Honey, go put the money away. I’ll make us something to eat."

After saying that, Qin Wenhao started toward the kitchen.

Fu Mingxue stopped him. "Wait, are we not going back for dinner tonight?"

"We’re not. We’ll eat by ourselves." Qin Wenhao felt that the sight of Qin Wenze’s face would ruin his appetite.

It would be much better for the two of them to eat at home.

Seeing this, Fu Mingxue didn’t press the issue.

Once he was in the kitchen, she put the money directly into her space.

Then she opened the refrigerator and was surprised to find it completely stocked.

It was filled with meat, vegetables, and fruit.

There was even a watermelon, perfect for chilling and eating later.

After busying himself in the kitchen for a while, Qin Wenhao called Fu Mingxue for dinner.

"Honey, dinner’s ready. We’re having cold noodles tonight, and I also made some meat patties. By the way, do you want a soda? There are some in the fridge; they should be chilled by now."

Fu Mingxue was surprised he knew how to make these things.

"Cold noodles sound good. And I’ll have a soda."

Qin Wenhao took two bottles of Beibingyang soda from the refrigerator.

He also took out the watermelon, cut off half, and sliced it into chunks.

Just as the two of them were eating, there was a knock at the door.

"I’ll get the door."

Qin Wenhao got up to open the door. When he saw Qin Wenze and his wife, his gaze immediately shifted away from them and landed on Qin Ruqiao.

His expression instantly softened.

"Qiaoqiao, come let your uncle hold you."
