Chapter 501 What’s the point of raising a daughter?

At this time, a bowl of tofu, a plate of cucumbers, and a bowl of eggplants were gone on the table.

After taking a few bites, Xu Zhihui suddenly frowned, "Why is there no oil or water in this dish?"

"Minmin is about to take the exam. She studies until midnight every day. How can she survive with such a small amount of food!"

Li Xiaoling remained silent.

Xu Zhihui told Li Xiaoling, "I'll give Minmin two poached eggs at 9:30!"

"Also, I'm going to buy meat tomorrow. How many kilograms of meat will be paid for a month? It's the end of the month, and I haven't seen how many times I eat meat!"

Li Xiaoling muttered, "The meat tickets are gone."

"Besides, if Haohao doesn't come back, why should we buy meat?"

Xu Zhihui frowned, "I give out two and a half kilograms of meat coupons a month, and you give out half a kilogram of meat coupons, for a total of three kilograms of meat coupons. Where are the meat coupons?"

After a while, Li Xiaoling slowly said: "I thought my family couldn't eat so much meat, so I sold the extra meat tickets."

The chopsticks in Xu Zhihui's hand wanted to hit Li Xiaoling hard, "Is our family short of the money you get from selling meat tickets or something?! Forget it in normal times, Minmin is about to take the college entrance examination. You don't know how to buy some meat to supplement her nutrition!"

Li Xiaoling curled her lips and said, "My salary is only more than forty yuan, and your salary is not given to me now. You also took away the bankbook. I have to find a way to save more money."

Xu Zhihui was absolutely furious.

After returning from Giethoorn last time, Li Xiaoling refused to take out the money because of the bracelet. When Xu Zhihui returned home, he moved the bankbook stored in the wardrobe to the office.

The salary is no longer given to Li Xiaoling, but the various invoices issued to her every month are given to her, and she is given thirty yuan for living expenses. Li Xiaoling cannot even see the rest of the money.

Thirty yuan, to be honest, is enough for a family to eat, not to mention that Li Xiaoling still has a salary.

Xu Zhihui was so angry that his chest heaved, and after a while he said: "From tomorrow on, Minmin will have an egg in the morning and an egg in the evening. It's already this time. We must give her some nutrition."

Li Xiaoling said unhappily: "Eggs don't cost tickets? Where can I get so many egg tickets?"

"Besides, she is just a girl and will belong to someone else's family in the future. What's the use of eating so well!"

Xu Min looked at her mother and sneered. In Li Xiaoling's heart, only Xu Hao was her biological son. She and Su Qian were both picked up.

Xu Zhihui said sternly: "If you don't have a ticket, go to the black market to buy it. In short, from now on until the end of the college entrance examination, you will have two eggs a day. Don't you dare to follow suit and give it a try!"

Li Xiaoling raised her head and glared at Xu Min fiercely.

After finishing the meal, Xu Min rolled her eyes at her mother, put down her chopsticks and stood up.

Li Xiaoling quickly stopped her and said, "Go wash the dishes. I'm so lazy. I don't do anything at home!"

Xu Min lowered his head and started to clear the table. Xu Zhihui said: "You don't have to worry about it, you go and study!"

Then he got mad at Li Xiaoling, "Minmin is about to take the exam, can't you let her have more time to review? If you do more things these days, you won't die!"

Xu Min looked at her father, then at her mother, put down the bowls and chopsticks in her hands, went back to her room and closed the door.

Li Xiaoling was still full of grievances, "I bought the dishes and cooked the rice, so what's wrong with her just washing the dishes?"

"You're such an old girl, shouldn't you do some housework?"

Xu Zhihui closed his eyes. Sometimes, he really felt that it was very tiring to reason with people like Li Xiaoling. He didn't want to disturb Xu Min, so he lowered his voice and said, "I'm not saying that she won't be allowed to do housework, I'm saying that she will do it soon."

It’s time for the exam, so you should work harder these days and let her spend more time studying!"

Li Xiaoling curled her lips, so what about the exam?

Even if she goes to college, she still only has to work a job. Xu Min is already eighteen and will get married in a few years. By then, her salary will belong to her husband's family and will have nothing to do with her.

So, what’s the use of raising a daughter!

However, Li Xiaoling did not dare to contradict Xu Zhihui anymore, so she packed up the dishes and went to the front kitchen to wash the dishes.

The next day, Xu Zhihui asked his secretary Xiao Li to borrow some food stamps and left work early.

When he arrived at the grocery store, he weighed several kilograms of cakes and bought two bottles of milk before going home.

As soon as Li Xiaoling saw him coming in with the bag, she asked, "What did you buy?"

Xu Zhihui said: "Things I use." After saying that, he went into the house.

When Xu Min came back, several people had eaten and Li Xiaoling went to wash the dishes. Xu Zhihui quickly entered Xu Min's room with the bag.

He put the bag on the table and whispered: "I bought you some milk and cake. You can eat it when you are hungry after studying in the evening. Dad will buy it for you after you finish eating."

This was the first time Xu Zhihui bought something for Xu Min alone. Xu Min couldn't help but blush, "Thank you, Dad."

Xu Zhihui suddenly felt a little ashamed, "Dad used to focus on work and neglected many things at home. If you have any grievances in the future, just tell dad."

Xu Min nodded vigorously, "Dad, don't worry, my sister is so good, I won't embarrass you."

Xu Zhihui was very pleased, "Okay, then you study and dad won't bother you anymore."

Xu Zhihui walked to the door and turned back, "Put the cake away, don't let your mother find out."

Once discovered by Li Xiaoling, there's no telling where this cake will go.

Xu Min smiled and nodded at him.

The three-day exam will be held on June 6, 7 and 8.

Xu Zhihui gave Xu Min some food stamps and money, and told her to buy some good food for herself.

After finishing the last subject on June 8, Xu Min played with her classmates all afternoon and went home in the evening.

When she got home, Li Xiaoling called her, "Hurry up, peel the garlic and wash the vegetables, I'm too busy right now."

Xu Min saw the meat on the chopping board and said, "Ah, I bought meat today."

Li Xiaoling said: "It's the weekend and Haohao will be back soon."

"It's true that your dad went to some kind of police academy and every time he came back, he was covered in bruises."

Xu Min couldn't help but rolled his eyes again. The meat tickets were gone. They were all fake. He probably sold some of them and kept some for Xu Hao.

In short, she is not worthy of eating meat. Only when Xu Hao comes back can she take advantage of Xu Hao and eat some.

Xu Min was peeling garlic while thinking in her heart, her father bought her a ticket to Yangcheng, and all the procedures were completed. When she goes to Hong Kong City, she can eat meat every day, hum!

Not long after, Xu Zhihui arrived home, walked to the kitchen and asked Xu Min, "How was your exam?"

Xu Min sat on a small stool washing vegetables, "I think it's pretty good. In short, I've basically finished the questions. I don't know if it's correct or not."

Xu Hao came back a little late, so he didn't start eating until he got home.

A bowl of twice-cooked pork was placed in front of Xu Hao. Xu Hao put his hands on the table, almost completely surrounding the bowl of meat in his two arms.

Xu Min stretched out her arm and picked up a piece of meat. Li Xiaoling glared at her: "You should eat less. Your brother trains every day and works so hard that even a sister doesn't know how to feel sorry for his brother."

Xu Min had the urge to throw the meat on her chopsticks at Li Xiaoling's face. She put the meat into the bowl, suddenly stood up, picked up a soup ladle, and scooped out a little half of the twice-cooked pork in the bowl.
