My wife is in my arms

Chapter 179 Trivial Matters

The sound of the TV came from the living room.

Jiang Yiren took a much longer time to take a shower tonight than usual, mainly because she was wasting time removing her makeup. Originally, this should have been done by her stylist before she came back, but in order to come back earlier, she had to do it herself.

Fortunately, her makeup for commercial performances is not as complicated as that of other female artists. It takes a long time to put on or remove makeup. It only takes an extra ten or twenty minutes. This is when she uses makeup remover bit by bit for fear of damaging her skin. If she is really in a hurry, a few minutes will only be enough.

When she changed into a set of pajamas with black stripes outlining thin lines and the rest of the body was off-white, she saw this scene: Xiao Zishan was sitting on the sofa with her head lowered, looking at her father... who was slowly mending her down jacket with needle and thread.

"Dad, your cooking skills are a bit rough."

Xiaozi Shan commented.

"Why do you care so much!? Isn't it enough to prevent the goose feathers from escaping? Don't feel ashamed. I've been mending for three years now. I've mended your down jacket. It's up to you whether you want to wear it or not."

Looking up at Jiang Yiren who had just come out of the bathroom, Zhang You said, "Anyway, your mother is not allowed to deduct my living expenses."

Jiang Yiren wanted to laugh.

Just for a little over 4,000, is it really that serious?!
The mending was probably almost done, and her husband actually bit off the thread with his teeth. This action alone seemed like a craftsman's charm. Jiang Yiren reached out and picked it up to take a look... There were originally just two small holes, but after her husband mended them, it was as if a stapler had been used to staple them back and forth several times. The thread's direction was really horrible.

"Can you not buckle it?!"

Zhang You asked.

"As long as you let your daughter wear it, it's fine."

Jiang Yiren smiled and returned the down jacket to Xiao Zishan, but Xiao Zishan took it and threw it aside, saying, "I won't wear it! It looks like it's been chewed by a dog."

"Zhang Zishan, how can you say that?! What do you mean it looks like it was chewed by a dog? It's clearly well mended."

After a slight hesitation, Zhang You said, "Well, you always wear school uniform outside. Tomorrow, wear your school uniform outside and this down jacket inside. That way, no one can tell. Wear it for one day. As long as you wear it for one day, I will save you 2,000 yuan as a dowry in the future."

"Disdain"

Xiao Zishan thought quickly and directly rejected his father's proposal.

"You little girl...if you keep doing this, I'll really practice trumpeting with your mother."

Zhang You said angrily.

"My mom won't practice with you."

Xiaozi Shan immediately laughed.

"Do you want to practice or not?!"

Zhang You turned and looked at Jiang Yiren.

"Practice... But I definitely can't work during my pregnancy. You have to go out and earn money to support the family. Besides, I have to stay at home to take care of Xiaohao for at least a year, so you need to work outside for two years..."

"Sorry to bother you."

Zhang You waved his hand, signaling Jiang Yiren not to continue. He pulled Xiao Zishan's hand and took a look. Then Zhang You got up and went back to the room to get a straight razor. Then, in front of Jiang Yiren, he began to trim Xiao Zishan's nails bit by bit.

After he finished trimming Xiao Zishan's fingernails and toenails, Jiang Yiren looked at her own fingers. They were white and clean without any nail polish.

Then, she took off her plush slippers and looked at her feet again. When she found that her toenails seemed a little long, she leaned on the sofa without saying a word, lifted her feet and placed them on her husband's legs.

“Stop dreaming”

Zhang You reached out and slapped Jiang Yiren on the foot.

If he had a foot fetish, he might have marveled at Jiang Yiren's beauty, even her feet and toes were so pretty, but he didn't have that, so he also disliked Jiang Yiren's feet.

"Give me a cut, and I won't deduct the 4,000 yuan."

Jiang Yiren said with a smile.

"You think I earn 100,000 yuan a month and still need your 4,000 yuan? Don't look down on me."

After stuffing the nail clippers into Jiang Yiren's hands, Zhang You brushed his knee, which had been resting on her feet, with disdain, and said, "If you want to cut your nails, do it yourself. Don't you know that there are sometimes boundaries between husband and wife!?"

"Zhang You, I hope you maintain this attitude."

Jiang Yiren was so angry with her husband that she almost died.

Xiao Zishan didn't say anything. He took Xiao Zishan's hand and took a look at it. He helped her cut her hair without saying anything. When he held her daughter's little feet, he even kissed them. When it was her turn... He couldn't even force her to do it even for four thousand yuan.

She also mentioned the "marginal line" and stood up from the sofa with a nail clipper. Before leaving, she stretched out her fair palm, patted her husband on the shoulder, and whispered, "You provoke me."

"Yup!"

Zhang You nodded without feeling threatened at all, then smiled and asked, "But who are you?!"

"On the tenth of this month, there is not a dime"

Jiang Yiren said this and turned to walk into the bedroom.

Zhang You was stunned, and the smile on his face disappeared instantly. He had actually forgotten about this. So, Zhang You said without hesitation, "I apologize now, will you forgive me!?"

"will not"

Jiang Yiren's voice came. "Dad, my mom seems really angry, what if she doesn't give you money!?"

Xiao Zishan pulled Zhang You's arm, and while the father and daughter were watching TV, Xiao Zishan asked with concern.

"It's okay, your dad is not short of money"

That being said.

But Zhang You still planned to go and coax her later, at least to ensure that the living expenses were paid on time on the 10th. Seeing that the time was almost up, Zhang You turned off the TV and took Xiao Zishan back to the room.

Lying on the bed, Zhang You took out the song that Jiang Yiren had re-transcribed and said to Xiao Zishan, "This song is very simple, sing it for me."

Jiang Yiren had never thought of letting Xiao Zishan enter the entertainment industry, and Zhang You naturally had no such idea either. But as the daughter of a singing queen, there was no reason why she couldn't even sing such a children's song well.

Jiang Yiren could give up on Xiao Zishan immediately.

Zhang You doesn't know how to do it.

"Sing it first."

Xiao Zishan spoke.

"also"

As he spoke, Zhang You began to sing with his unique voice. After he finished singing, Xiao Zishan took the paper and read it twice again. Then she stretched out her little finger and pointed under the lyrics copied by her mother. As her childish voice sounded, her little finger slid towards the back of the lyrics.

"I'm a little duck... Dad, how do you pronounce this word!?"

Pause immediately after singing a line.

"babble"

Zhang You replied.

"Oh"

Xiao Zishan nodded and continued to sing. However, less than half a moment later, he asked again, "How do you pronounce this?!"

"Okay, go to sleep!"

Zhang You said helplessly.

"Dad, my singing is not good!?"

Xiao Zishan said a little aggrieved.

"You sing very well, but... you're only in first grade. When you're in third grade and can recognize most of the simple words, Dad will teach you to sing. It's not that I want you to be a singer, but you can't be like your mom, who's some singing queen. Take that song 'She' for example. She was lucky to have met me, your dad. Otherwise... she would have ruined her singing career, haha."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah"

Xiao Zishan immediately smiled and nodded, saying, "Auntie Han said that she almost killed my mother."

The door opens.

Jiang Yiren rushed in without warning.

When the father and daughter looked up, Jiang Yiren, with an angry look on her delicate face, pulled back the quilt and slapped Zhang You hard on the butt. Then she pulled Xiao Zishan over and slapped her on the butt as well.

After doing all this, Jiang Yiren's anger had not subsided. She said coldly, "From now on, in this house, you are not allowed to talk about "her", not even behind my back. Remember!"

The father and daughter pulled the quilt over the head
“She’s so fierce.”

Shan, the kid in the bed, spoke softly.

"Shh, she's mentally ill, we can't mention it..."

The words are not finished yet.

The quilt was lifted again, and the father and daughter immediately lay down face to face. Jiang Yiren stared at the father and daughter, and was so angry that her teeth ached.

"Dad, find a rich woman!"

Xiao Zishan muttered.

"I'll find it tomorrow"

Zhang You replied.

"Then...be careful not to find a fake rich woman who owes a lot of money to the bank."

"Let your mother help you choose! She's been in the entertainment industry for so many years, she must know a lot of really rich women. Once she helps us find one, I'll take you to live with her immediately. Then... you have to go to bed early tonight."

"Well, I know, you have to spend time coaxing them so that they won't kick us out."

Jiang Yiren clenched her hands, and just when she was about to punish the father and daughter, they both laughed in front of her. They laughed so happily that their bodies trembled.

This made Jiang Yiren feel... angry or not!
I was really angry.
