Chapter 235: Greedy for Money

“Hmph, so this is what is happening!”

Yun Xi, who was hiding in the dark, heard the conversation between Zhao Biao and Wu Mei clearly.

Initially, she had only suspected that Wu Mei had pocketed quite a bit of the money Chen Li had given her to buy vegetables. She had deliberately followed Wu Mei to catch the woman on the spot and then chase her out of the house as a matter of course.

She had not expected that there would be unexpected gains.

It turned out that Wu Mei had not just come to get on Yun Shan’s good side. She wanted to hurt Yun Shan. This was something that Yun Xi absolutely could not tolerate.

It seemed that Yun Xi still had to discuss this matter with Jing Yu and think of a countermeasure properly.

Yun Xi continued to follow Wu Mei’s footsteps and arrived at a vegetable market near their home.

“Give me one of these crucian carp.”

There were still two pieces of tofu left at home in the morning. Wu Mei planned to buy a crucian carp to make a crucian carp tofu soup.

“The crucian carp is now $1.70 per kilogram.” The aunt who sold the fish picked up the fish catching tool and told Wu Mei the price of the crucian carp.

“Aunt, the price of your crucian carp is a little expensive. I remember the last time I came here, it was $1.50 per kilogram!” Wu Mei began to bargain with the aunt who sold the fish.

“You’re right. Business isn’t good these days. The price of crucian carp is also high, so I naturally increased the price.” The aunt who sold the fish did not give in at all.

“Aunt, I always come to this market to buy vegetables. I’m an old acquaintance of yours. You can’t do business like this. You even want to rip off an acquaintance’s money. Just give me a crucian carp for $1.50 per kilogram. I just want the one in the corner that’s not very lively.”

Wu Mei was trying her best to argue with the aunt who sold fish.

“Alright, alright. On account that you’re a regular customer, I’ll let you have it for 20 cents less per kilogram. That’s already my purchase price. I’ll take it as a favor to you. In the future, come to my place to buy fish!”

The aunt who sold the fish did not get any benefits, so she naturally wanted to make up for it with words.

After Wu Mei bought the crucian carp, she went to buy some seasonings. She then bought some green bean sprouts and went home.

“Chen Li, I’m back.”

Wu Mei was particularly enthusiastic as soon as she arrived home.

“Chen Li, you gave me $7, and I have $0.50 left. The market isn’t doing well now, so the price for everything has gone up along with it. The price of this crucian carp has gone up to $1.80 per kilogram. Don’t you think it’s crazy?”

Wu Mei deliberately said that the price of the crucian carp was a little more expensive. For such a crucian carp that was 3 kilograms, Wu Mei could pocket $1.

“If it’s a little more expensive, then so be it. Besides me, everyone else in the family is doing manual labor. We should supplement them.”

Chen Li was a practical person. She did not suspect that Wu Mei might be cooking the books.

“Aunt Wu, the price of this crucian carp doesn’t seem right. I remember that today’s crucian carp should be $1.70 per kilogram.”

Yun Xi entered the courtyard and looked at Wu Mei, who had a guilty look on her face.

“Is that so? Then I might have remembered wrongly. I bought too many vegetables here, so I might’ve mixed up their price,” Wu Mei quickly quibbled.

“But I was behind you, and I heard you haggling with the aunt who sold the fish. She said that the price of this crucian carp was $1.50 per kilogram. Have you forgotten about that as well?”

Yun Xi spoke slowly while she kept staring at Wu Mei’s face.

“Uh…”

Wu Mei did not expect this wretched girl to follow her. Now, she did not know how to defend herself.

“You can’t think of anything to say, right? I think you’re just greedy for money!”

Yun Xi’s tone suddenly became stern.

“What happened? I can hear your shouts from outside the door.”

Coincidentally, Yun Shan had just gotten off work and returned home.

“Dad, I heard Yun Xi say that this Aunt Wu came to our house to freeload and has been embezzling our money for groceries.” Yun Yang ran out and went to Yun Shan’s side to explain the matter to him.

The word “freeload” was picked up by Wu Mei. She was ashamed of being described like that.

“Wu Mei, is that true?”

Yun Shan believed his daughter’s words, but he still wanted to hear Wu Mei admit that she had embezzled money from the family.
