Marrying a concubine and swallowing her dowry? The mistress turns around and marries a high-ranking

Chapter 442

Yin Bohong felt dizzy.

"...Didn't I tell you we don't have that much money right now? The three thousand taels I gave you last time were borrowed from my friends!"

Jian Qingshuang looked at him with surprise, as if she didn't understand why he was in such a hurry.

"Isn't the money borrowed meant to be used? These painting supplies only cost a little over 1,400 taels in total, and they're not particularly high-end items. I also hired a zither teacher for Hancheng, not a very good one, but the tuition for a year plus the purchase of a paulownia wood zither only cost 1,300 taels!"

As Jian Qingshuang spoke, she felt both frugal and wronged.

"I've already returned the calligraphy copybook by Zhong Qinzi as you instructed. Now you can't even buy these ordinary things anymore?"

Yin Bohong: "......"

In other words, the three thousand taels of silver he borrowed had already been almost spent by Jian Qingshuang in just two or three days.

"you......"

Yin Bohong felt so angry that he felt like he was about to burst.

“That money of mine was borrowed! Don’t you understand that it was borrowed? Borrowed money doesn’t mean it doesn’t have to be repaid! I know my salary and monthly allowance aren’t enough for you, so I lent you this three thousand taels because I was afraid you would suffer from poverty and hardship. You’ve used it all up in one go. What will you do next? Where will I get more money?”

Jian Qingshuang opened her eyes wide and stared at Yin Bohong in astonishment, as if she didn't recognize him anymore.

"Bohong, why have you become so calculating? All you talk about is money, money, money. You were never like this before!"

Yin Bohong: "......"

He had never felt this way before, as if he couldn't communicate with Jian Qingshuang at all!

Yin Bohong had a splitting headache and had completely lost his patience.

"I... well, let me just say this: until you receive your monthly salary and wages at the beginning of next month, this is all the money you'll have left. Next month, I can only give you a maximum of fifty taels. You can decide how to spend it! If you continue to squander it like this, you won't even be able to afford food!"

Jian Qingshuang exclaimed incredulously, "This... how can such a small amount of money possibly be enough?"

Yin Bohong, unable to contain himself any longer, roared, "If it's not enough, you'd better find a way to have enough! I only have this much money. If you're not satisfied, go earn it yourself! All you do is spend my money, and you still think it's not enough?"

Jian Qingshuang stood there stunned for several seconds, as if she couldn't understand or accept what was happening before her, and then she burst into tears.

"Yin Bohong! How could you treat me like this! How could you talk to me like that!..."

A pang of heartache and guilt flashed through Yin Bohong's mind, but he was mostly extremely irritated.

Is he wrong?

For the past ten years or so, he has been supporting Jian Qingshuang. He had spoiled her too much in the past, which led to her developing such a wasteful habit of spending money without ever caring where the money came from.

Now that I'm asking her to be frugal, she actually says he's being stingy!

Yin Bohong was extremely annoyed and didn't want to hear Jian Qingshuang crying any longer, so he turned around and left Lingshuang Courtyard.

This place is no longer like the refuge of his soul, the haven of his spirit.

It only gave him a headache.

Yin Bohong hardened his heart and stayed at the Yin residence for a few days, ignoring Jian Qingshuang.

He had made himself clear enough to her. She was an adult and should know how to weigh the reality of the situation!

As a result, a few days later, at the end of the month, several shops simultaneously sent people to the Yin residence.

They said that Jian Qingshuang had kept a lot of records at their store, and that they should settle the accounts with the Yin family later.
