Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

Chapter 312 “My sister doesn‘t owe you. Why should my sister fork out the money to ease your mom and sister‘s craving for seafood? Hank, I might not have worked and contributed financially to the family in the three–odd years we have been married, I have sacrificed a lot for the family. Without me behind you, do you think you‘d find success in your career without any worries?

“I won‘t buy the seafood if you don‘t give me the money. Don‘t forget to pay for the labor cost too. You said it yourself. We‘re going halves. I have no obligation to cook for your mom and sister, but if you insist, you should pay for the manual labor.

“Since we‘ve been married for three years, I‘ll only charge you two hundred bucks for it.”

Hank yelled on the phone. “All you know is spend money and eat. You eat yourself to obesity! What did you do for the family? I have seen no sacrifice on your part. I got to where I am today because of my hard work. Don‘t try to take credit for it.

“What do you mean labor cost? Isn‘t my mom your mom too? Name me a daughter–in–law who charges to cook for her mother–in–law. Anybody would tell you off for doing that.”

“Don‘t expect me to work without wiring me the

money.”

Liberty then cut off the line.

With his wife hanging up on him, Hank was tempted to smash his cell phone in a fit of rage. However, it struck him that he had not bought the phone too long ago, and it was a matching model with Jessica‘s new phone. He bought two new phones in one go for himself and Jessica.
