Outsider: The Fifth Young Master of the Kang Family

Chapter 172 Strict Wife Control

"Hubby, you're so useless. You can't even find a good girl."

After Gillian left, Xianglan held Tianyou and kept complaining about Big Brother Guang and complaining about Sanjiao, "She has no manners at all. If Tianyou follows her, he will be dominated by his wife for the rest of his life."

"What's so special about being henpecked? Everyone in our Kang family is tightly controlled by their wives." Kang Qirui joked with a smile. His father handed over the financial power as soon as he got married and never saw his salary in his life. The boss is an old man with a young wife. He treats Xianglan as his own daughter and listens to her in everything. A Yao dares not go west if Xingzi tells him to go east. Xingzi makes all the decisions, big or small.

The second brother was tough in words, but in fact he was controlled by his second sister-in-law. Not to mention Azu and Diana, Azu had no share of any of Diana's money. He was even more controlled by his wife than by his wife.

As for Kang Qirui himself, Zhu Wanling had something to say. She patted Kang Qirui and said, "Hey, hey, hey, when have I ever controlled you? When have you ever not been able to do whatever you want? You are still being controlled by your wife."

Kang Qirui retorted: "That's because I've always been obedient, so you don't have the chance to control me. If I don't obey."

Zhu Wanling interrupted directly: "Hey, what if you don't listen?"

"Look, this is called not caring about me?" Kang Qirui pointed at Zhu Wanling and said, causing Zhu Wanling to slap him. When the two were playing around, A Zu came back and said, "I heard you guys talking about a henpecked husband at the street corner. Who is that?"

The second sister-in-law told A Zu exactly what happened, and the second brother pulled A Zu aside and said, "If the one just now is not suitable, we will find another one. A Zu is the best at picking up girls in our Kang family, so this matter is officially handed over to A Zu."

A-Zu also patted his chest and assured: "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I have found you a daughter-in-law who is educated, well-mannered, obedient, and will not bully Tianyou, and who is about the same age."

Xianglan was very happy when she heard it, "That's good, I am not afraid of Tianyou anymore."

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. I'm telling you, sister-in-law, the one I'm looking for is a foreigner." A-Zu added, "As the saying goes, having a foreigner in the family is like having a treasure."

"I heard that this foreign daughter-in-law is even prettier than Diana." The second brother said flatteringly, "She has blond hair and blue eyes. She will walk when told to walk and stand when told to stand. If she is told to go out, she will never come home."

Xianglan felt itchy after hearing this, "A-Zu, when will you bring it back for me to see?"

In fact, there is no such person. It is completely made up by Er Lao and A Zu. A Zu quickly covered it up and said, "Didn't I tell you, sister-in-law, that's a foreign daughter-in-law. She is still abroad. She has to wait until she grows up before she can take a plane to Guangzhou to meet Tianyou."

Xianglan thought about it and felt that it made sense. Tianyou was so young and she was reluctant to let him take the train. It was normal for parents to be reluctant to let their foreign daughter-in-law be brought here by plane when she was so young, so she didn't ask any more questions.

After lunch, Kang Qirui went back to his room to take a nap with his daughter. When he was about to lie down in the room, Zhu Wanling stopped him and said, "Wait a minute, I have something to tell you."

"What's wrong?" Kang Qirui asked.

Zhu Wanling said with a melancholy look on her face: "My maternity leave is about to end, and I have to go back to work. What do you think I should do with the child? Who will take care of him?" According to regulations, maternity leave is 98 days. Zhu Wanling married and had children late, so she was given an additional 30 days of maternity leave. Then, nurses in Guangzhou also have 80 days of bonus leave, for a total of 208 days, including 15 days before delivery.

Also, Zhu Wanling had accumulated 38 days of compensatory leave before this (nurses have 8 days off a month, and if they want to save up vacation time, they can save up that much by swapping shifts with colleagues over a few months. However, if you have saved up so much compensatory leave, the hospital will most likely not let you use it all at once. At most, they will let you take three to five days off.) Therefore, she should go back to work on the 231st day after giving birth.

康思齐是3月23日出生的，祝婉玲原本应该在11月9日也就是今天结束休假的，但因为今天是周末，就顺延到11月11日周一回医院上班。

Kang Qirui thought about it and said, "Why don't you just quit? You won't trust others to take care of Siqi if you go back to work anyway."

Zhu Wanling was stunned for several seconds before she let out a breath and said helplessly, "That's not what I meant. It's not that I don't want to go back to work. I'm just worried about Siqi. There are so many children at home, and grandma can't take care of them all. My mom loves to go out and play, so I can't count on her anymore."

Kang Qirui shook his head and said with a smile: "I didn't say you didn't want to go back to work. I was also worried about Siqi, so I asked you to resign."

"Humph, I won't." Zhu Wanling had a very stubborn temper. "If you don't make money, the whole family will depend on you to support you? What would I be like then? Besides, I've worked in the hospital for so long and have paid for social security for so many years. It would be a big loss if I don't work now." "If you don't want to give up the social security, then I'll let the clothing company pay for it for you. No, no, no, let the investment company pay for it for you. That's right, you go to the investment company." Kang Qirui said as he thought, and slowly perfected his ideas. "You work in the investment company, but you don't have to go to the office. In this way, you can take care of the children and don't have to worry about having no income as a full-time housewife. You can also pay social security every month. Hey, it's a win-win situation."

"Aren't I still relying on your salary to support myself? Investment company, I know how to invest." Zhu Wanling was determined not to do that. She felt that if she followed Kang Qirui's suggestion and invested in a company and then stayed at home to take care of the kids every day, she would be just a housewife in name only. It was pure nonsense.

Kang Qirui moved his position, hugged Zhu Wanling from behind, and said with a smile: "You don't know how to invest, but I do. You don't want to be a housewife and don't want to rely on me to support you, so it's okay for me to give you some advice, right?"

Zhu Wanling nodded. "It's no problem for you to give me advice, but do you know how to invest?"

"Hey, who are you looking down on? If your husband doesn't know how to invest, then no one will, you know?" Kang Qirui said arrogantly. Zhu Wanling laughed, "Then tell me, what can I do?"

"You only need to do two things. The first is to buy a house. We have bought several houses before, so you should continue to buy. We made a little money from the World Cup. Anyway, there are houses for sale in the Tianhe Zhujiang New Town and other residential areas near the ones we bought before, so you can just buy them directly." Kang Qirui said.

Zhu Wanling nodded, and she agreed to buy a house. The first house she bought in Huakang Community has increased in price by 1,000 yuan per square meter. "What about the second one?" she asked.

"Buy gold." Kang Qirui picked up his daughter when he saw her turn over and wake up, and continued to say to Zhu Wanling: "When you don't have a house to buy, you can go to the bank to buy gold bars, and then deposit them directly in the bank's safe. You don't even have to leave the bank, you can get it done."

In 2002, the price of gold was generally below yuan, around or yuan. In the following years, although it did not rise unilaterally, it also broke through the yuan mark, and the peak of the international gold price was as high as yuan. Money is always depreciating. If you keep money in the bank, the interest you earn will not be able to beat inflation. However, if you change your money into gold and keep it in a bank safe, you can maximize the value of your assets.

"So you just want me to buy, buy, buy. That's fine by me, haha." Zhu Wanling was good at summarizing. She prepared the milk powder and handed it to Kang Qirui.

Kang Qirui took the bottle and fed the child while saying, "Not entirely. We can't leave the house empty even if we don't live in it. If we simply renovate it and rent it out, you have to find tenants and collect rent every month. If the tenants have problems, you have to solve them. It's still a lot of things."

Zhu Wanling nodded. As long as she was not forced to be a housewife, she felt that she had no problem with shopping and being a landlady. The houses she had bought before had already been rented out, and she was in charge of collecting rent every month. She suddenly remembered something, "By the way, speaking of finding tenants, my mother said she wanted to rent out the house."

"Ah? Then where does she live?" Kang Qirui asked.

"Aren't Gillian's children all living in school? Now there are only my mom and Gillian, and there are three rooms left. My mom thought that it doesn't matter if she rents the room to Gillian alone or to four people, so she might as well rent out the remaining three rooms. She doesn't have a pension or anything, so she wants to earn some money for herself." Zhu Wanling felt that her mother didn't want to get money from her every month, and wanted to rely on herself.

Kang Qirui naturally had no objection, and it was not his turn to have an opinion, it was not his house. He could not take a nap after the child woke up, so he held the child in his arms and Zhu Wanling carried the child's things and walked out of the room together, thinking of going to the patio garden to bask in the sun.

When I walked to the restaurant, I heard Lao Guang and Ma Zi say that they were going back to the restaurant to help, but their faces were facing the other side. Zhu Wanling walked over and asked, "Uncle, what's wrong with you?"

As soon as the boss saw Zhu Wanling, he wanted to turn his face to the other side, but when he turned around, he saw the mother, so he simply raised his head and looked at the ceiling. Zhu Wanling had no idea what was going on. She looked at Kang Qirui, who was also surprised, "Boss, what's going on with you?"

The mother also asked with a puzzled look on her face, "A Guang, what are you doing? Wan Ling asked you a question. It's so rude to raise your head and not say anything."

"Mom, don't ask so many questions. Anyway, this is an extraordinary period. Wanling, I'm sorry, I don't have any objection to you, don't think too much. I'm going back to the tea restaurant and have to prepare dinner." After saying that, Da Lao Guang ran away.

Zhu Wanling and the mother looked at each other, neither of them understood what Big Brother Guang meant. Second sister-in-law came out of the bathroom, shaking the water off her hands, and said with a smile: "Big sister-in-law is nervous, she is watching Big Brother too closely, so he doesn't dare to talk to women now."

After she finished eating, she had a stomach upset and stayed in the bathroom. I heard what Xianglan and Big Brother Guang said before, and now I will tell you, "Just now, Yumi came to see Sachiko and met Big Brother. The two chatted for a while, and Big Brother got angry and quarreled with Big Brother. In the end, Big Brother didn't want Big Brother to get angry, so he promised Big Brother that he would not look at women when talking to them, so he doesn't dare to talk to women now."

"Don't dare to talk to a woman?" The nanny laughed as she spoke. Suddenly, her expression changed. "Hey, are you kidding me? I'm his mother. Even his mother doesn't dare to talk?"

"Mom, is your mother a woman?" Kang Qirui teased, and then said to the child in his arms: "Siqi, Siqi, I'm afraid uncle doesn't dare to talk to you, hahahaha"
