Chapter 16: The fragrance actually came from their house?

Gu Chen sneered.

'If she, Shen Cuilan, was the one being called a vixen today, what would you think?'

After Gu Chen finished speaking, Tian Laosi fell silent.

After all, his own daughter-in-law was in the wrong first.

Men all want face.

No man can stand by and let his wife be insulted like that.

He was angry, but he knew that Gu Chen was right.

Ji Pianran never expected Gu Chen to actually hit someone for her.

She was so scared that she hurriedly put her hands on Gu Chen and held on for dear life. Her pretty face was full of worry.

She was afraid that he was going to hit someone else.

After all, she was the one who borrowed the money.

No matter what, she was in the wrong.

Gu Chen even hit people, and she was really afraid that she would make a big deal out of it.

Shen Cuilan covered her burning face and glared with anger.

She had always been a master at getting her own way.

Gu Chen had hit her in front of everyone.

She felt the fire in her body rising, and she couldn't help trembling with anger.

'You little rascal, how dare you hit me! You will pay me back right now, everyone is watching, don't even think about being a scoundrel!'

Gu Chen looked at her expressionlessly.

He didn't intend to not pay back the money either.

Gu Chen looked at Ji Pianran next to him, 'Pianran, give me the money.'

Upon hearing this, Ji Pianran hurriedly took out the hundred yuan he had just warmed in his pocket and handed it to Gu Chen.

Gu Chen held the hundred yuan up to Shen Cuilan.

He gave her a sneer.

'Change.'

Shen Cuilan never thought that Ji Pianran really had a hundred yuan.

How was that possible?

Why would their family have money?

It was the New Year, and they needed to buy a lot of New Year's goods. Not many families were wealthy, and Gu Chen had lost all his money gambling with Xue Yang and the others a few days ago, hadn't he?

I heard that in the end, he stole the money the family had saved for the New Year's shopping to pay off his gambling debts.

And there really was 100 yuan?

This time, not only Shen Cuilan was stunned.

Many onlookers at this moment cast incredulous glances at the Gu Chen couple.

The Gu Chen family is notoriously poor.

Everyone in the village knows this.

The crucial point is that the Gu Chen couple have always been at odds with each other, and this is something the whole village knows.

Was the slap just now a sign of their discord?

It was a sign of his love for his wife!

What's going on?

The most crucial thing is that Gu Chen actually has 100 yuan?

This is really rare.

Shen Cuilan looked at the 100 yuan in Gu Chen's hand.

She couldn't help but feel troubled.

It's the end of the month, and her family only has 30-odd yuan left, where would she get 60 yuan to give him?

But now that things have come to this, if I don't find the money for him right now, I'll be the one who'll be embarrassed.

I, Shen Cuilan, can't afford to lose face.

What should I do?

Seeing that Shen Cuilan wasn't moving, Gu Chen coughed twice.

'You should find sixty for me.'

Shen Cuilan gritted her teeth and turned her head to take a look at Tian Laosi.

This old man must have some private money.

I have thirty here, if he can still come up with thirty, that'll be enough.

She said crossly, 'You, find a way to get thirty.'

Tian Laosi's eyes widened.

Good grief, he usually scrimped and saved, and Shen Cuilan held all the money in the family.

And she's asking him for money?

She must be crazy with money.

'I don't have any money!' he said angrily.

Shen Cuilan lifted her chin, 'Don't you have any secret stash of money?'

When she said this, everyone around them couldn't help laughing.

Shen Cuilan is really something, forcing people to pay back money, and when they have paid back, she is still not satisfied, and forces Tian Laosi to give up his secret stash of money.

The more you watch, the funnier it gets.

The crucial point is that she is doing it in front of so many people.

Now the melon-eating group, who were just waiting to see the Gu couple make a fool of themselves, have all switched their interest to the Tian Laosi couple.

They are all curious as to whether Tian Laosi actually has any secret stash of money.

Tian Laosi never expected his wife to ask about his secret stash of money.

His heart tightened.

Putting on an expression of being wrongly accused, he said with righteous indignation, 'What secret stash of money do I have? How could you not know how much money there is in the house?'

How could Shen Cuilan not know? This Tian Laosi earns 85 yuan a month.

He only gives himself 80 yuan, so where did the remaining 5 yuan go?

At first, she thought that 5 yuan a month for pocket money was not much, so she pretended not to know.

But today she had met someone who was not to be trifled with, Gu Chen.

If she didn't pay up, she would really be put in an embarrassing situation.

She gave Tian Laosi a cold stare and said,

"Fine, five yuan a month, you must have saved quite a lot over the years, so hand it over!'

On hearing this, everyone couldn't hold back any longer and burst out laughing.

They had never expected that Tian Laosi, who seemed such an honest man, would have such a hidden talent.

He had married a shrew and was still hiding his secret stash of money from her.

The most ridiculous thing is that the shrew always knew.

Tian Laosi never imagined that Shen Cuilan would have such a trick up her sleeve.

She told everyone in front of so many people that he had been hiding money.

How would others see him?

He immediately blushed with shame and anger. The most frustrating thing was that there was nothing he could do.

After holding it in for a long time, he finally sighed and went indoors in silence.

What could he do?

Who made him marry such a wife?

After entering the house for a long time, he took out his own private funds, counted carefully thirty, and then went out again, angrily handing it to Shen Cuilan.

Shen Cuilan took another thirty from her pocket, put the money together, and handed it to Gu Chen.

Gu Chen borrowed the money and handed it to Ji Pianran without counting it.

Then he smiled at everyone.

'I'm sorry, I made you all look like a joke. It's fine, just go back.'

Then he took Ji Pianran into the house.

Tang Tang was still waiting for them to eat in the house.

The two entered the courtyard.

Gu Chen closed the door.

The onlookers saw that the main characters had left and were just about to disperse.

Someone in the crowd asked:

'Whose stewed meat is this? It smells even better than my family's New Year's Eve dinner!'

After he said that, everyone's attention was once again drawn to the bursts of meaty fragrance that had just been released.

They couldn't help but sniff.

'Don't tell me, it really is, this smell, it really is delicious!'

'Why do I feel like it's coming from the Gu Chen's house?'

Someone said.

Everyone was shocked.

Gu Chen?

Again, Gu Chen?

They just generously gave out 100 yuan, and there's even meat at home?

Is this a turn of events?

I didn't realise it, but these two actually have this cooking skill.

Is there really no such thing as a genuine person?

Shen Cuilan of course knew that the smell was coming from Gu Chen's house, but she would never say anything.

This Gu Chen has given her such a big humiliation today.

She must settle scores with him.

She looked at the people who were still discussing the meat smell.

She said with a nose and an eye,

'What are you looking at? Scatter, scatter!'

She said, and then she slunk home.

Inside, Tantan had already eaten half a bowl of rice.

Dad's beef and potato dish was really delicious.
