Chapter 306 Losing Money
Zhu Huanghua, being 80 years old, was panting heavily after only a few steps and refused to walk any further.

"Help me back, I can't walk anymore!"

"Grandma, it's okay, I'll carry you."

As he spoke, Lu Cheng bent down, hoisted the Zhu Huanghua onto his back, and continued strolling down the street.

He figured everyone had almost finished eating before he carried Zhu Huanghua back to the restaurant.

Everyone set aside some food for the two of them separately.

Zhu Huanghua has bad teeth, so Lu Dezhao ordered her a steamed egg custard and a bowl of stewed white radish and meatballs.

Lu Cheng's rice bowl was much fuller, and he took some of almost everything on the table.

He was starving, so he sat down, picked up his chopsticks, and was about to eat.

Jiang Moli touched the rim of the bowl and said, "The food is cold. Take it to the kitchen and have them heat it up."

Lu Cheng didn't actually care whether the food was cold or not.

When we were on missions, we ate not only cold rice, but also spoiled rice to fill our stomachs.

But his wife's care made him feel incredibly happy and fulfilled.

Jiang Moli took her rice bowl to the kitchen.

When she returned, in addition to the dishes she had heated up for Lu Cheng, she also brought a bowl of fried rice with eggs.

The golden and glistening fried rice, garnished with bright green scallions and served with freshly cooked kimchi, is incredibly fragrant and tempting.

An Hui was very pleased with her daughter-in-law's thoughtfulness towards her son.

He casually remarked, "This fried rice is quite well made."

Jiang Moli placed the rice and dishes in front of Lu Cheng and said with a smile, "Mom, if you like them, I'll show you how to cook them when I have time."

An Hui was even more surprised: "You cooked this fried rice?"

Lu Dezhao was equally surprised, "Jasmine, you have this skill too?"

Jiang Moli: "Dad, you're underestimating me, aren't you? I know a lot more than that."

The whole family was equally surprised to hear that Jiang Moli had made the fried rice.

After all, in the family's impression, Jiang Moli had always been lazy and spoiled, so they never expected her to be able to cook.

Lu Cheng's eyes lit up with joy.

Oh my god, what a wonderful day! I actually got to eat my wife's fried rice!
He buried his head and took a big bite; the rice grains were chewy, the egg flavor was rich, and it was savory and delicious.

It’s so delicious that it makes me cry!

Lu Dezhao watched him eat and couldn't help but swallow hard. "Can you finish all this? Share some with me."

"I can finish it, I don't need you."

Lu Cheng refused without hesitation.

This is fried rice with eggs that his wife made for him, and he can't bear to share it with anyone else.

Even your own father won't do.

"Clap!"

The whole family looked in the direction of the sound and saw Zhu Huanghua angrily scolding with a long face: "Put so much salt in, are you trying to kill your old mother with salt?"

He cursed as he threw chopsticks, spoons, and other utensils on the ground, making a loud crashing sound.

Lu Dezhao quickly coaxed, "Mom, I'll have the restaurant make you a lighter-tasting bowl. Don't eat this one."

Zhu Huanghua was still furious, slamming her hand on the table. "You bastard, you've had a few good days and you've forgotten what you're even called! Look at this table full of leftover food, wasting food like this, aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?"

Actually, there wasn't much food left on the table; it was mostly broth and condiments like minced ginger, scallions, and garlic.

But Zhu Huanghua was deliberately nitpicking, unable to stand seeing people she disliked living a life of luxury.

"Grandma's scolding is well done! By doing this, you set a good example by eating all the leftovers on the table, setting a good example for us younger generations."

Jiang Moli got up and gathered the leftovers on the table into a large bowl, then placed it in front of Zhu Huanghua.

Zhu Huanghua raised her hand and knocked over the pot, spilling soup and water all over the ground.

Jiang Moli's shoes were all dirty, but she didn't care and picked up the steamed egg custard: "Grandma is old, it's normal that her hands are not steady. Here, let me feed you." As expected, the steamed egg custard was also knocked to the ground by Zhu Huanghua.

Jiang Moli casually picked up an empty porcelain plate and handed it to Zhu Huanghua, "Grandma, smash this one, it makes a loud noise."

Zhu Huanghua glared at her fiercely, then took the porcelain plate and threw it on the ground.

The fine white porcelain plate shattered into pieces with a crash.

Jiang Moli continued to hand them over, and Zhu Huanghua continued to smash them, the crackling sounds never ceasing.

The waiter couldn't stand it anymore and came over to stop them, saying, "Comrade, this is a government-run restaurant, not your own home, not a place for you to vent your anger! Also, you have to pay for the damaged tableware!"

Lu Dezhao clasped his hands together and apologized to the waiters and customers: "I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, the old man is getting on in years and has been inconvenienced..."

Jiang Moli interrupted, "Dad, why are you talking so much to them? My grandma has plenty of money. She can afford to break all the plates in your store, let alone these few broken plates! Right, Grandma? Are you happy now? If not, we'll keep breaking them. We have plenty of money, we're not afraid."

Zhu Huanghua's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

Do I have to pay for breaking a plate? How much would I have to pay?
The diners and staff in the restaurant were all aroused by Jiang Moli's arrogant remarks and felt disgusted and angry.

So what if you have money? You'll get your tail cut off sooner or later!
"Disdain value +25, 250000 yuan credited."

Compared to the anger of the diners and staff, the Lu family seemed completely unfazed.

That's right, this is the third wife/sister-in-law/third aunt they know.

Knowing that she would have to pay for breaking things, Zhu Huanghua stopped causing trouble and even ate all the meatballs that she thought were too salty.

In the end, the bill came to 50 yuan.

The meal cost 38 yuan, and I had to pay 12 yuan for breaking the cups, plates, and bowls.

Jiang Moli had the restaurant issue a receipt, then turned to show it to Zhu Huanghua: "Grandma, take a good look. This 12 yuan will be recorded in your pension account, and you can withdraw it from your savings account at the end of the month."

Zhu Huanghua is used to being frugal and thrifty; she would rather split a penny in half to spend it.

Hearing that he had to pay 12 yuan in compensation, he was so angry that he trembled and his eyes were like knives, as if he wanted to stab holes in Jiang Moli.

She only broke a rice spoon and chopsticks, but it's all that spendthrift woman's fault. She made her lose her temper and broke so many things, causing her to lose so much money!

Heart hurts.

Her money.

……

The Lu family originally had a spare room that they used to store miscellaneous items.

Knowing that Zhu Huanghua was coming, Ma Hongmei vacated the room in advance, made up the bed, and added a table, chairs, and wardrobe.

Fearing that Zhu Huanghua might have trouble getting up at night, Ma Hongmei even prepared a commode and a urinal for her, which was quite thoughtful and considerate.

After settling Zhu Huanghua down to lie down, it was already 11 o'clock. Everyone washed up and went back to their rooms to rest.

"You spendthrift bastards, you've ruined my money!"

"Old man, open your eyes and look! Your unfilial descendants are bullying an old woman like me..."

Even at midnight, the sound of cursing could still be heard from Zhu Huanghua's room; she was probably still angry about the 12 yuan she had lost that night.

Lu Dezhao, wearing a coat, sat on the edge of the bed and coaxed Zhu Huanghua, "Mom, I'll pay for the 12 yuan. It won't cost you your own money. Can you go to sleep now?"

"Oh dear, you ungrateful wretch! All you do is annoy me! I should have drowned you in the chamber pot back then..."

The more Lu Dezhao coaxed her, the more enthusiastic Zhu Huanghua became.

He cursed and swore while pounding his fist on the edge of the bed, making a loud thud.

With all this noise, not only will my family not be able to sleep, but the neighbors will also be disturbed.

In the room.

Lu Cheng turned to Jiang Moli beside him apologetically and said, "Bear with it for these three months. Once Grandma is gone, things will be peaceful."

She couldn't even stand three days, let alone three months.

Jiang Moli sat up and started getting dressed.

Lu Cheng also sat up from the bed. "Where are you going?"
