People in the Siheyuan: I am a Buddhist who is in a mess

"Zhu Zi, from now on you should give all your salary to Yu Li for safekeeping. If you need to spend money, just ask Yu Li for it."

Liu Mei told Yu Li a method to make her feel at ease. She had used this method before, and it was taught to her by the old lady.

Later, as he got older and Yi Zhonghai's income increased, it gradually came to nothing. But in the beginning, it was very useful and gave Liu Mei peace of mind for several years.

"How can that be? I'm a grown man, but I still need a woman to manage the money I earn? What am I doing? Isn't that just a little man being managed by his wife?"

He Yuzhu disagreed. Although he didn't have any bad habits, the money he could save every month was actually not that much.

To outsiders, He Yuzhu and Yu Li's monthly salary was over fifty dollars, and they basically didn't spend any money on food, and they even had a lot of extra food and vegetable coupons.

But only after having been He Yuzhu's household mate, would you know that He Yuzhu is actually very extravagant and that there is really not much money saved every month.

Among them, the biggest expense is eating out.

He Yuzhu has a hobby of eating out, and not just small restaurants. He specifically goes to big hotels and restaurants, and orders the main dishes made by the chefs there. One reason is to satisfy his appetite, and the other is to learn something.

However, after getting married, although I have restrained myself a little, I have not changed this habit.

Moreover, He Yuzhu also needs to save face. Although he doesn't have many friends in Siheyuan, he is well-known in the circle of chefs and has a wide range of friends. Naturally, such socializing costs money.

Now he is asked to hand over all the money to Yu Li, and every time he needs to spend money, he has to ask Yu Li for it. This makes it very difficult for He Yuzhu to accept.

"Why, you still want to save some money to help the widow?"

When Yu Li heard Liu Mei suggest that He Yuzhu hand over all his income to her for management, she felt relieved and satisfied.

But He Yuzhu's reaction made Yu Li very angry again.

He Yuzhu didn't get into a dead end and go against Yu Li this time, he just kept silent.

It's not that he didn't want to say it. Yu Li gave her income to her parents' home. Although He Yuzhu didn't care, he felt that it was wrong. Fortunately, he understood that if he told him about Yu Li giving the money to her parents' home at this time, Yu Li might really divorce him.

"You can't just hand it all over, right? She's been collecting all the money I make from the banquets outside, and now she wants me to give her my salary as well. Wouldn't I have nothing left to spend?"

Under the gaze of the two women, He Yuzhu lowered his head and spoke in a whisper.

"You can't just hand it all over, right? She's been collecting all the money I make from the banquets outside, and now she wants me to give her my salary as well. Wouldn't I have nothing left to spend?"

Under the gaze of the two women, He Yuzhu lowered his head and spoke in a whisper.

However, this concession is only one step and countless steps.

Seeing He Yuzhu lower his head, Liu Mei struck while the iron was hot and said, "Yu Li is used to managing the household. Yu Li keeps this money and saves it for your future children. If you need to spend money, you can ask your wife for it."

"As long as it's a legitimate expense, your wife shouldn't give it to you, right? Your uncle earns more than you, right? For so many years, he has been giving his salary to me, an old lady, every month."

"Even if it's Lin Yi, he's more promising than you. The salary he just received was also given to the old lady for safekeeping. It's not a shameful thing."

Liu Mei used Yi Zhonghai and Lin Yi as examples, and after saying this, He Yuzhu was completely silent.

The two people Liu Mei mentioned are both around He Yuzhu, and they are both recognized as being more powerful than He Yuzhu.

"Okay, okay, I'll leave everything to her from now on. I'll leave all the food, drink, and toileting in this house to her, okay?"

He Yuzhu was speechless and could only agree.

Seeing that He Yuzhu agreed, Yu Li was delighted. She had long been dissatisfied with the fact that He Yuzhu did not save much money every month.

I just always felt that it was embarrassing for a man to be without money in public, so I never asked He Yuzhu to spend less money.

This time, being able to completely control the financial power of the He family, Yu Li felt that the fifty yuan was not wasted.

Yu Li stretched out her hand in front of He Yuzhu.

"What are you doing?" He Yuzhu looked at Yu Li, not wanting to take out the money he had on him.

"I know you still have thirty-six dollars on you. Take it out."

Yu Li was clear about how much money He Yuzhu had. After all, He Yuzhu had never hidden the fact that he took money from her. Moreover, Yu Li was also good at calculating, but she was not as desperate as Yan Fugui in the front yard.

Seeing Yu Li like this, Liu Mei's eyes twitched. She wondered whether the idea she gave Yu Li today was a good thing.

He Yuzhu had no choice but to take out the money reluctantly.

"Leave me six dollars. I need to buy cigarettes and alcohol."

He Yuzhu didn't want to hand over everything. He felt uneasy without a penny in his pocket.

Yu Li grabbed the money from He Yuzhu's hand, counted out two dollars, gave it back to He Yuzhu, and said, "Two dollars is enough for you to smoke for a month."

He Yuzhu is not a heavy smoker, and he is the chef of the cafeteria. Usually, the apprentice chefs under him will give him one or two packs of cigarettes as a token of filial piety. If you really calculate it, He Yuzhu spends less than two dollars on cigarettes a month.

Looking at the two yuan Yu Li handed back, He Yuzhu's heart twitched. This time, he was completely desperate and put the money away. He no longer cared about the two women in the room, went straight to the bed, took the quilt, covered his head, and pretended to sleep.

When Liu Mei left, she was very happy. She felt that she had done a great thing today and resolved the marital conflict in He Yuzhu's family. This was something to be proud of.

When she returned to the courtyard, she found that Lin Yi was not there. The old lady was still awake and waiting for her.

The food on the table was left for her.

Liu Mei sat down, picked up the steamed bun that she had taken a bite of, and started eating again.

"Is everything alright at Zhuzi's house?"

The old lady still cared about He Yuzhu. Although she told Lin Yi that she didn't care about He Yuzhu's affairs, it had been nearly fifteen or sixteen years, and she had been taking care of He Yuzhu from a young boy to a married man now. It would be a lie to say that she didn't care about him.

While eating, Liu Mei told the old lady about He Yuzhu's family affairs, and also asked Yu Li to manage He Yuzhu's future income.

"Madam, you say, I did a great job this time, didn't I? Yu Li's anger subsided at that time. It turns out that the method you told me back then worked. This man, without money, is not wild anymore."

Liu Mei was complacent.

However, he did not notice that the old lady's face looked much heavier.

Hearing Liu Mei's boast, the old lady didn't throw cold water on Liu Mei. She forced a smile and said, "Well done, well done."
