Seven Years of Marriage with Jake

Chapter 4

Although I managed to keep my salary card, Ethan and I still argued constantly.

Last week, because I turned on the washing machine to do laundry, Ethan nagged for half a day, complaining about the waste of water and electricity.

The day before yesterday, I bought a big durian from the street, and he mocked me for having the body of a lady and the fate of a maid.

Today, as soon as I came back with a bag of popcorn, he was furious, pointing at me with a pained expression and questioning:

"A bag of popcorn must also cost about ten yuan, right? How much vegetables could you buy with that?"

"Ava Thompson, I say, can you stop being so extravagant every day?"

"We are an ordinary family, not some nouveau riche; even a big family would be ruined by you!"

I looked at the TV, snorted coldly, and retorted without politeness:

"Is the family ruined by a bag of popcorn?"

"Those who don't know might think we are both paralyzed in bed and can't move!"

"Ethan, you are still the head of the family, aren't you ashamed?"

He was choked by my words and couldn't say anything.

He simply changed his strategy and started to play the victim.

Kneeling half on the floor by my feet, Ethan looked up with slightly red eyes: "Ava, you don't understand."

"When I was a child, forgetting about popcorn, Thad to feed myself in the canteen, seeing who had leftovers, and

I looked at his sincere face and almost laughed.

The familiar formula, the familiar taste.

I've almost heard this speech so often in my last life that it's become a cliché.

It's always about how his parents had a hard time, how he was used to being frugal since he was a child... In short, it's just one sentence

He's poor, thus he's right!

I rolled my eyes and frowned:

"Whether you're poor or not has nothing to do with me."

"I didn't spend your money."
