My wife is in my arms

Chapter 1278 Dad Two
Did you offend her?!

Zhang You asked.

"How could I dare offend her? It's a good thing she doesn't offend me."

Jiang Yiren replied unhappily.

She could tell with her own eyes that the brat had gotten angry because she hadn't responded to her earlier grumbling. Simply put, the family had made so much money, but the brat hadn't received any of it, so she was starting to feel unhappy.

Only her husband wouldn't let her hit him.

Otherwise, Jiang Yiren was really prepared to give this brat a good beating. She did terribly on her final exams and instead of reflecting on why she did so poorly, she was only thinking about the family's money.

It's like she, as her mother, owes her something.

After her husband caught up with her daughter, Jiang Yiren locked the courtyard gate, then carried her son and went upstairs with Li Ran. Before they had gone a few steps, Li Ran overtook her, her teacher's wife, and then ran up to the second floor in two quick steps.

"You're still the best."

Jiang Yiren lowered her head and kissed her son on the cheek.

She finds Xiao Zishan increasingly annoying, but she loves her two sons more and more.

Sometimes, Jiang Yiren would wonder how she managed to give birth to two such beautiful sons. Then... she would think of her best friend who had already moved into a postpartum care center.

Yesterday morning, she helped her best friend get ready. When she took her to the postpartum care center, she specifically asked if it was a boy or a girl. The result made Jiang Yiren breathe a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, it's a girl.

If it were a son, she would feel terrible, and it might stay that way for a long time.

Even if her best friend promised that the child she had wouldn't compete with her two sons for anything, who can say for sure about these things? Her best friend can control the child now, but what about later?

My own brat is a prime example. She's only ten years old and it's almost Chinese New Year, and I can't control her anymore. In another seven or eight years, it will be even worse. Who knows, she might have to go through the same things that her manager, Han Hui, went through.

I can't stop scolding you.

They couldn't catch up.

Even after finally catching up, they're still no match for each other.

This is so frustrating... it could drive a mother to her death.

So this isn't something her best friend can decide; it also depends on the child and Mr. Zhang's wishes.

Upon arriving at the second-floor living room, not seeing her daughter or Mr. Zhang, Jiang Yiren went straight into the princess room. Sure enough, not only was Mr. Zhang there, but Xiao Zishan was also there, and even Li Ran was standing to the side.

Seeing her, the mother, carrying her younger brother in, Xiao Zishan turned to her and said, "You go out, I need to talk to my dad about serious matters."

"Is there anything important I can't hear?!"

Jiang Yiren replied with a cold expression.

She was genuinely worried that her husband would lose himself in Xiao Zishan's sweet talk and promise to give the girl a lot of money. She wouldn't agree to that. She wouldn't mind giving her a little, but too much... it had to be from her two eldest sons.

"dad"

Xiao Zishan shouted.

"Get out!"

Zhang You got up and pushed his daughter out of the room, locking the door behind him. Once he was back in the chair by the bed, he asked, "Okay, what do you want to talk to your dad about? Let me make this clear: we haven't even earned the money yet! Our family might have to give your Aunt Lin a large sum, so don't mention how much you plan to give her once you've earned it. If you really do, well… if our family has to contribute, you should help out a little. Didn't your maternal grandfather's family and your Aunt Zhang give you lucky money last year? Take that out and help your dad out for now."

A smile appeared on Jiang Yiren's lips as she pressed her ear against the door to eavesdrop.

Mr. Zhang is still the most cunning and shrewd old man.

They actually tried to trick that brat out of her New Year's money.

however.

The ensuing twist caught Jiang Yiren off guard, and at the same time, it made her realize that the brat had really grown up. She not only knew the benefits of money, but also knew... how to get money out of her father.

Without hesitation, the brat nodded and said, "No problem! As long as you agree to give me a share after the production rights of 'The Voice' are sold, I'll give you all my New Year's money."

Jiang Yiren also overheard Xiao Zishan muttering in front of her father, "I only have a few dollars, how much does yours cost?!"

Jiang Yiren pursed her rosy lips.

That brat did terribly in math, but she's got a very clear understanding of this.

"What if they can't be sold!?"

She heard her husband's questioning voice coming from inside.

"If you can't sell it, I won't ask you for your New Year's money. Business is business! Losses and gains are normal. But we have a deal: if you sell it, you have to tell me the truth. Don't lie and say you didn't sell it. Dad, you have to keep your word to your own daughter. You know, we're the only families with the same surname. Think about it… my grandfather's surname is Zhang, you're Zhang, and I'm Zhang. My two younger brothers have my mother's surname. Since we don't share the same surname, my mother and my two brothers are outsiders; we're the family."

Xiao Zishan spoke.

"..."

Zhang You looked at his daughter.

In order to get more money, this girl came up with one trick after another, like she was performing a stand-up comedy routine.

"I'll change your brother's surname tomorrow."

Jiang Yiren said angrily.

"Even if it's changed, it's still an outsider's problem."

Xiao Zishan replied.

Jiang Yiren twisted the doorknob repeatedly, saying, "Mr. Zhang, open the door. I'm going to give this brat a good beating today. Her grades are bad, her singing is bad, but she's obsessed with money. How come your two brothers are outsiders? They have the same blood as you!"

"okay"

Zhang You said, "You should take your son to bed right now. Stop threatening to beat this one and that one all the time. If you're so tough, I'll take action. Don't take your two sons to a hotel. Stay home and fight me."

For a while.

A moment of silence fell outside, before Jiang Yiren angrily retorted, "I'm not saying anything more. No matter how you negotiate with that brat, don't even think about getting the production rights fee."

"How many do you want!?"

Zhang You didn't waste any more words with Xiao Zishan and asked directly with a smile.

"It's up to you."

Xiao Zishan became happy immediately when she saw that her father had agreed.

"Your dad has never been very helpful, so just say it directly."

Zhang You replied.

Xiao Zishan reached up and touched her face, tapping her cheeks repeatedly with her index and middle fingers, as if pondering how many fingers to use. After a while, she held up five fingers and said, "This many."

"Fifty thousand, right? No problem."

Zhang You readily agreed.

"Dad, you're being a bit stingy."

Xiao Zishan was immediately displeased. She didn't give her father a chance to continue stalling and directly said, "Fifty million."

"Why don't you go and rob?!"

Zhang You was directly shocked by this number.

"Brother Ayou, what do you think I'm doing right now!?"

Xiao Zishan asked in return.
