Chapter 877: Chapter 878 Toxic Fatherly Love 10

Wu Hao watched his daughter go back to her room to study and glanced at Feng Min, who was busy in the kitchen.

He didn’t want to speak to her at first, but thinking about her attitude today, he felt it was necessary to have a talk.

"Feng Min, I think we need to talk," Wu Hao said indifferently, leaning against the kitchen door.

Feng Min, with her back to him, had a sudden change in expression upon hearing this, and one could tell she knew exactly what he was about to say.

"Talk about what?" Feng Min asked unbothered.

"Are you going to tell me that I have a bad temper?"

"Going to say that I shouldn’t lose my temper at the kids? Before you say these things, take a look at our family’s money, and our expenses."

"If it weren’t for all the trouble from your family, all the social obligations, your parents not feeling well and needing to buy all sorts of tonics and nutritional products, would our finances be this tight?"

"And there’s the mess with your brother’s household. All-year-round birthday gatherings, we give gifts and red envelopes, have you calculated how much that costs?"

"Your mom says she’s getting older and likes to see the kids come home to gather. She just talks, but it’s our money that suffers, the weekly gatherings cost how much?"

"We’re not lazy," Wu Hao admitted, knowing that the amount of money being asked for at home was quite significant, "but, after all, they are my parents."

Wu Hao was just about to soften and plead for mercy, then he remembered something; the Wu Family end might have big expenses and various requests for money, but Feng’s house wasn’t lagging behind either.

Thinking of that, Wu Hao hardened his stance again, "My house might spend a lot of money, but does yours spend less?"

"Doesn’t your brother’s kid attend tutoring classes? Buying clothes and stuff, does our house give little money?"

"Not to mention the frequent borrowing of money, and when your parents aren’t feeling well, it’s also you who pay."

"What did I say?"

"If you insist on making an issue out of my family’s expenditures, then let’s talk about how much Old Feng’s Family needs to spend in a year."

Wu Hao believed that Feng’s house also spent a lot of their money throughout the year, "Let’s do the math."

Feng Min didn’t expect Wu Hao to bring up Feng’s house. In the past, whenever she mentioned the Wu Family’s expenses, he never retaliated, never mentioned Feng’s house.

Feng Min was panicked, although she hadn’t calculated it precisely, she knew that the money given to Feng’s house was definitely more than that given to the Wu Family.

Feng Min wanted to stop Wu Hao, but there was no way; he moved faster, already entering the room to start accounting.

Without a choice, she started to consider how to explain herself.

Wu Hao looked at the figures he calculated, surprised, "No way."

In his mind, his side of the family must have spent quite a lot of money, but the numbers in the account book told him otherwise; it was Feng’s house that was the biggest spender.

Why was this so? Wu Hao quickly understood, "Feng Min, you have misled me."

All this time it was Feng Min in his ear, saying how much money the Wu Family spent, while the expenditures of Feng’s house were mentioned only once when making the accounts, or possibly not even at all.

If there were no account book, he wouldn’t have known the truth of the matter at all.

Wu Hao wanted to confront Feng Min and argue, but then he thought better of it. He had just been the subject of a big joke at work today, and if he and his wife were to argue at home and word got out, it would be another big joke.

He needed to come up with a solution. They couldn’t continue spending lavishly, or they wouldn’t be able to provide for their child.

Wu Hao quickly thought of a solution and walked to the kitchen.

Feng Min was busy in the kitchen, feeling variously anxious in her heart. Wu Hao not coming out only meant that he was very angry, and especially so.

It was not easy, but once she heard familiar footsteps, she knew the final result had come.

She took a deep breath and waited for Wu Hao to make a move, but after waiting for a long time, he didn’t utter a word, which surprised her.

Why did he change his style? No shouting or making a fuss, what to do now?

If possible, she’d rather he yelled and cursed at her, even resorted to physical violence.

She took another deep breath and continued waiting.

"I’ve calculated, your family’s expenses are larger than mine."

"To prevent any future complaints about one family’s expenses being larger than the other’s, I think we should each bear our own family expenses, including the children’s expenses."

"After all, I earn a little more than you, and considering you also handle the household chores, I will take on sixty percent, and you will handle forty percent."

"As for your money, whether you use it for yourself, spend it on your parents’ house, or save it, that will be your own choice."

Wu Hao had been thinking for a long time, because he couldn’t possibly ignore his own parents, and expecting Feng Min not to care about her family’s troubles was also impossible.

Since that’s the case, let’s adopt this method, "This will prevent future conflicts."

What? Isn’t this the AA system? Of course, Feng Min knew about this; some people at her workplace operated like this after getting married, and she even mocked them, saying they were not people cut out for married life.

She never imagined that she and her husband would also resort to such a strategy, and what made her even more anxious was that even if she bore forty percent of the expenses, it would be a bit too much for her to bear.

"That, that..." Their official incomes may show that Wu Hao earns more, but he actually has a greater unofficial income.

"Can we, can we not use this method?" Feng Min changed her usually haughty attitude and asked softly.

Looking at the woman bowing her head in front of him, Wu Hao snorted coldly, "What do you think?"

"I can’t just ignore my parents, they had a hard time raising me, and now I’m capable."

"As for you, your parents had a hard time raising you, and you said your brother doesn’t make much money; you have only this one nephew."

"We both can’t just ignore our families, conflicts will always exist, so I think it’s better to implement this system, then we won’t complain about how much money is spent later on."

"If you don’t agree, from now on the money we each spend on our own families every year will not exceed three thousand." Wu Hao offered another solution.

Three thousand? Hearing this number, Feng Min almost wanted to curse; what can that amount of money do? Also, Wu Hao has more side money, he can divert more funds.

After thinking it over, Feng Min quickly made a decision, "Then let’s do the AA system."

"What about our son’s marriage house?" Wu Jian, although young, still has to start considering some things.

This question, of course, had been considered by Wu Hao, "Isn’t there still the Zhang Family on that end?"

"No matter how fierce that little girl is, what does it matter, as long as that damn old hag is backing her."

"Once she’s gone, I don’t believe we can’t control her." Wu Hao still did not want to give up the leverage over Zhang Yu.

"That girl is just pretending, I’m sure it’s the old lady teaching her behind the scenes, she’s afraid I’ll take action."

What a joke, a child born to Zhang Lina, strong-willed? "She’s been timid since she was little, and haven’t you also inquired about it? The girl was bullied in junior high school."

Whether it was Zhang Yu as a child or grown up, she’s not a tough one, just an easy target to bully.

"When her support is gone, that’ll be our time to make a move, but for now, let’s not go looking for her."
