One Pregnancy, Multiple Relationships: The Best Actress Is Cute And Sweet

Chapter 169: Chapter 169-make her pay

Chi Jiaojiao was about to get engaged and the custom here was that the maiden family had to prepare a generous dowry for their daughter who was about to get married.

This would require a large amount of money. Li Lijuan was anxious when she thought of this.

Seeing that the engagement date was getting closer and closer, li Lijuan was also under more and more pressure.

Ever since she had married into the Chi family, Chi Jianming had given her full authority to manage the financial affairs. There was no money in the accounts now, and it was in the negative. Even Chi Jianming didn’t know how much money was left. Anyway, he had to pay the monthly pension as usual.

She couldn’t pay off her debts from gambling, and she couldn’t afford her daughter’s dowry. She went to the hospital and saw that the old lady wasn’t seriously injured. She was weak and she heard from the nurse that her appetite was even bigger than before.

It seemed that it would not be easy to get the money from the insurance company that had bought accidental death insurance. He could only think about it in the future.

AI! Li Lijuan was almost at her wit’s end. Every day, she complained and made a mess at home, causing no peace.

Seeing that the engagement date was approaching, li Lijuan had no choice but to mortgage the house she was living in now as Chi Jiaojiao’s dowry.

As for the bank loan, he would find a way to pay it back.

Chi Jianming was shocked to hear li Lijuan mention that she had mortgaged her house.

He didn’t know how li Lijuan managed her finances, but her pension was basically enough for several people’s living expenses. When he gave his bank card to li Lijuan, there were still more than 100000 Yuan in it.

How come I don’t have any savings now? Chi Jianming couldn’t help losing his temper.

“What’s the matter with you? Where could they spend so much money? Didn’t I give you my monthly salary? And you even need a mortgage?”

Li Lijuan knew that she was in the wrong, but when she spoke to Chi Jianming, she was never afraid of him. She was both unreasonable and strong, so she casually thought of a reason and scolded Chi Jianming loudly,”

“You don’t have to be so loud here. If you have the time to throw a tantrum, why don’t I see you doing some small business to make money? You still have the face to speak loudly with this little amount of retirement money. It’s not even enough for the food expenses, don’t you know that?”

Sure enough, when Chi Jianming heard li Lijuan’s scolding, he felt that he was in the wrong and didn’t dare to speak again.

He had been living on his dead salary, and after retirement, his salary had been reduced by a lot. His contribution to the family was indeed limited, so what was there to blame for his wife and children?

Seeing that Chi Jianming didn’t say anything, li Lijuan still felt that her anger wasn’t appeased. Her luck had been too bad recently, and the money she had gotten had flown away again. She vented a lot of her anger and resentment on Chi Jianming,

“Jiaojiao is about to get engaged. You know about this, right? Tell me, where did you get such an expensive dowry from? I can’t go back to work to earn money. If you have the guts, then think of a way to earn money!”

Chi Jianming mopped the floor silently, not daring to make a sound.

Seeing Chi Jianming’s embarrassed look, li Lijuan came to a conclusion,”

“You don’t have a choice, do as I say! Mortgage the house and use it as Jiaojiao’s dowry. We’ll talk about it after we set the wedding date. ”

“But ... But don’t we still have to pay back the bank loan?” Chi Jianming didn’t know what li Lijuan meant, so he mumbled timidly.

“I’ll pay in installments. I’ll think of a way slowly. It’s more important to solve the urgent problem first.”

After lunch, Chi Jianming and Li Lijuan went to the bank to handle the mortgage procedures.

The real estate certificate was in Chi Jianming’s name. When Chi Jianming helplessly picked up the pen and signed the real estate mortgage loan contract, he felt as if he had been sold out.

Then, the bank gave out the money and Li Lijuan made arrangements to prepare a dowry for her daughter, Chi Jiaojiao.

She only got married once in her life. Li Lijuan had spoiled her daughter since she was young and didn’t want to treat her badly when she got married.

Although her family’s financial situation was not good, li Lijuan still prepared a generous dowry. According to the local customs, all the things that her maiden family could give were to satisfy Chi Jiaojiao as much as possible.

It was said that the husband’s mother-in-law was not an easy person to deal with. This was also to let Chi jiaoyue hold her head high in front of her in-laws.

After these things were done, li Lijuan was free, and the pressure came again. Chi Jianming was the head of the family on the surface, but li Lijuan was still the one who had to worry about everything.

Although she was anxious and angry, li Lijuan’s attitude towards Chi Jianming during this period of time was still considered gentle. She didn’t scold or blame him for no reason, which made Chi Jianming feel much better in his heart, and he worked more diligently than before.

At noon, Chi Jianming took the initiative to clean up the dishes and do the cleaning in the kitchen.

The weather was a little hot. After working for a while, Chi Jianming dragged his slightly fat belly around in the kitchen and was covered in sweat.

Before the work was done, li Lijuan came to the kitchen and saw Chi Jianming sweating. She said with heartache,”

“Let me do it, you’re sweating all over.”

“No, no, I’ll be done soon. Go out and have some tea.” Chi Jianming waved his hand and said with a smile.

For li Lijuan’s rare thoughtfulness and concern, Chi Jianming was very happy. No matter how busy he was, it was worth it.

Li Lijuan put on an act, then turned around and went out. She sat on the sofa, drinking tea while waiting for Chi Jianming.

She had something very important to ask Chi Jianming to do later. It wasn’t easy, and if she wanted to do it smoothly, she had to make the old man happy.

Chi Jianming finally finished his work and came out of the kitchen. Li Lijuan asked him to sit down and brought him a cup of hot tea.

“Thank you! Why are you so nice to me today? I’m embarrassed. ” Chi Jianming took the teacup and said half-jokingly.

“You’re my in-laws, what’s there to thank? seriously, who else can I be good to if not you?” Li Lijuan pouted and glanced at Chi Jianming.

Seeing Chi Jianming finish his tea in a few gulps, li Lijuan filled his cup again and then brought up the matter.”

“Jianming, there’s something important waiting to be done. It’s only appropriate for you to step in.”

When Chi Jianming heard li Lijuan’s formal way of speaking, he knew it wasn’t a good thing, and his heart trembled a little.

“It’s nothing much. I’m just going to interact with Chi Luoxi. After all, you’re her biological father. She’ll still give you some face.”

“What? Are you going to look for Chi Luoxi again?” Chi Jianming knew that he had let his daughter down and was conflicted about this matter.

Li Lijuan couldn’t stand Chi Jianming’s timid look. She resisted the urge to scold him and tried to reason with him,”

“Aiya, old man, don’t get scared just because she’s mentioned. She’s your daughter, who else can you look for other than her?

She’s a celebrity and is so rich while our family is so poor. This doesn’t make sense! Go and tell her to pay off the monthly loan. ”
