"Have you finished washing your face?" Mr. Kato couldn't help but ask as he watched Mrs. Kato walk into the room.
Mrs. Kato just glanced at her and said, "Did you bring back some fish when you went home today?"
"Yes, yes." Mr. Kato said somewhat unnaturally.
I originally wanted to hide the fish meat that Yushan and others gave me, but I didn't expect it to be discovered.
"After you bring it back, why do you put it in the corner of the refrigerator? Can't you put it outside?" Mrs. Kato's voice became colder.
Only then did Mr. Kato realize that the other party seemed to be coming at him with great force!
"Isn't it because the refrigerator is too crowded that we put it a little bit inside?" said Mr. Kato.
Mrs. Kato couldn't help but blink. Although she knew that this was just Mr. Kato's excuse, it was true that her refrigerator was a little crowded.
However, this did not make Mrs. Kato feel embarrassed. They were an old couple, so there was no need to feel embarrassed. Instead, it made her feel a little angry and ashamed.
"Forget it, I'll tell you clearly, where did the money to buy those pieces of fish come from?" Mrs. Kato said.
"Buy?" Mr. Kato was a little surprised.
But the next second, he reacted. If he didn't explain it now, he would be doomed: "I didn't buy it, it was given to me by someone else!"
Chapter 1830: Xiao Hui doesn't know this!
"Someone gave it to you? Who would give you bluefin tuna?" Mrs. Kato's voice rose octaves.
Mr. Kato's expression was obviously a little confused. After taking the tuna from Yushan Kazuto, he didn't look at it carefully. He took it home and stuffed it into the corner of the refrigerator.
He originally thought it was salmon or some other fish, but who would have thought that Yushan Heren would actually send bluefin tuna.
"During the New Year, when you visited the president's home, the souvenir you brought was just a piece of bluefin tuna belly."
Mr. Kato was a little speechless. He gritted his teeth and bought the piece of belly. It weighed only about 300 grams, but he had already spent more than 20,000 yen.
Although there is a slight premium during the New Year, there is no doubt that bluefin tuna is expensive.
"These pieces of fish meat... were sent by that kid named Yushan. He said it was a return gift for his birthday last weekend."
After a long while, Mr. Kato finally spoke.
Although it was a little hard to understand why Yushan Heren would send such expensive tuna, he still needed to tell the truth at this time, otherwise Mrs. Kato would torture him and ask if his family had hidden any private money.
Mrs. Kato stared at Mr. Kato with an expression that said, "You're kidding me!"
"I'm telling the truth!" Mr. Kato couldn't help but say.
"Why didn't Yushan send it here himself, but handed it to you instead?" Mrs. Kato raised her question reasonably.
"I... when I came back, I happened to see him standing at the door. He looked a little... nervous. Then I asked him what he wanted to do, and he gave me the fish."
Mr. Kato's eyes were a little evasive, he knew that his wife actually had a pretty good impression of Yushan Kazuto.
"Then why don't you invite him to your house?" Mrs. Kato couldn't help but ask.
"I invited him, but he said he had something else to do and then left." Mr. Kato's voice became smaller and smaller.
He did "invite" Yushan Kazuto, but he did so in a warning tone of "If you dare to accept the invitation, I will beat you to death."
Mrs. Kato continued to stare at Mr. Kato, her face full of "I don't believe it".
Looking at Mrs. Kato's expression, Mr. Kato couldn't help but feel that his personality was somewhat insulted.
Although I have hidden some private money, I will not waste it on such things!
Wouldn't it be nice to save that much money and buy a fishing rod and a reel?
"If you don't believe it, you can go to Yushan boy to verify it!" Mr. Kato deliberately said loudly.
"It's so late, and you still want me to disturb a junior? I think you want to get me away and hide something?" Mrs. Kato's voice became a little stern.
"Well, if that doesn't work, let's ask Xiaohui. Xiaohui should know something. After all, she was the one who attended the birthday party." Mr. Kato immediately became timid.
Mrs. Kato glanced at Mr. Kato and said, "This is the only way."
Walking to the door and watching Mr. Kato sneaking towards the closet, Mrs. Kato couldn't help but say, "Come with me too."
Mr. Kato's expression changed a little. He had no choice but to change direction and follow Mrs. Kato.
When I walked into the living room, I happened to see Hiromi Kato eating heartily.
Mr. Kato couldn't help but glare at the other person. No wonder Mrs. Kato found the tuna he had hidden in the corner.
Especially while the other party was enjoying the delicious food, he was being criticized by Mrs. Kato, and even his own secret fund was at risk of being exposed.
Thinking of this, Mr. Kato couldn't help but clench his fists.
However, Hiromi Kato did not notice the changes in her father and continued to drink wine and taste tuna.
Mrs. Kato and Mr. Kato walked to Kato Megumi's door and knocked lightly, but there was no response from inside for a long time.
"Xiaohui fell asleep, are you satisfied?" Mrs. Kato couldn't help but say.
"No, that shouldn't be the case. Doesn't Xiaohui usually go to bed around 11 o'clock?" Mr. Kato couldn't help but say.
"What's wrong with children getting tired occasionally and going to bed early?" Mrs. Kato couldn't help but say.
"Yes, yes, yes." Mr. Kato had no choice but to nod.
"Mom and Dad, I'm here."
Kato Megumi's voice came from the dining table. The two turned their heads and saw Kato Megumi sitting next to Kato Hiromi.
"Xiao, Xiaohui, so you are in the living room!" Mr. Kato was stunned, and then he hurriedly said as if he had seen a savior.
"I just called Xiaohui out to eat tuna together." Hiromi Kato said with a silly smile.
After Mrs. Kato said that she didn't know how to share with her family, Hiromi Kato felt that what she said seemed to be right, so she called Kato Megumi out.
Mrs. Kato felt a little embarrassed. She didn't expect that when the two of them passed by the dining table, they didn't notice Kato Megumi's presence.
"Sorry, Xiaohui, I wasn't paying attention to the table just now."
Mrs. Kato would not bow her head in front of Mr. Kato, but she was still very intellectual in front of her children.
Kato Hui shook her head: "It's okay!"
She had long been accustomed to this kind of thing. In fact, now that her hair had grown longer, her presence had become stronger.
Before, what she said might have been ignored by Mrs. Kato and Mr. Kato.
"Xiaohui, you know
"Oh, that guy called Kazuto is here again today." Mr. Kato hurried to the dining table, picked up a piece of tuna and put it in his mouth, savoring the delicious taste of the tuna.
"I know!" Kato Megumi nodded.
The window of Kato Megumi's room faced the door, so when Yushan and others came over at night, she had already discovered them.
"See, I told you, these pieces of tuna were given by Yushan." Mr. Kato couldn't help but look at Mrs. Kato.
"Why are you so anxious?" Mrs. Kato couldn't help but ask, "Xiaohui only said that she saw Yushan coming, but she didn't say that the tuna was sent by Yushan."
"Xiaohui, you should have seen that Yushan kid handed the tuna to me, right?" Mr. Kato looked at Kato Megumi again.
He could tell that Mrs. Kato was just being stubborn.
"Xiaohui doesn't know this!" said Kato Hui.
Yushan and others came over but didn't go in. No need to think too much, it was all Mr. Kato's fault.
Although she knew in her heart that these pieces of tuna were most likely the tuna that Kazuto Yushan had left in Vittorio's cabin to mature, without Yushan Kazuto's personal confirmation, Kato Megumi would only speak according to the facts she saw.
"Did you hear that? Xiaohui said she didn't see it!" Mrs. Kato couldn't help but say.
Mr. Kato couldn't help but blink, feeling like he had no way to defend himself.
Chapter 1831: The Cunning Rabbit Has Three Burrows
"This...Xiao Hui, you really didn't..."
Before Mr. Kato could finish his words, Mrs. Kato interrupted him: "Okay, don't bother Xiaohui and Hongmei anymore, go back to your room now."
In fact, Mrs. Kato also roughly guessed that what Mr. Kato said should be true, but because they have been together for many years, it is not easy for Mrs. Kato to admit her mistakes to Mr. Kato.
Therefore, she had to interrupt Mr. Kato's questioning in advance and regard it as the final conclusion.
Moreover, although the tuna was indeed sent by Yushan Heren, it was not a complete waste of resources.
At least there is one thing that Mrs. Kato is sure of, that Mr. Kato is sure of having hidden a secret stash of cash.
When Mr. Kato heard Mrs. Kato speak, he couldn't help but glance at the dining table. He still wanted to taste a few more pieces of delicious middle belly fish.
However, since Mrs. Kato had spoken, Mr. Kato had no choice but to sigh and walk towards the room.
As soon as I entered the room, Mrs. Kato closed the door and said, "Hand over your little treasury."
"God, what secret treasury?" Mr. Kato couldn't help but pretend to be dumb.
"Don't think I don't know. Do you want me to look in the closet myself?" said Mrs. Kato.
Mr. Kato couldn't help but blink. It seemed that his previous actions had made Mrs. Kato suspicious.
As a last resort, Mr. Kato had to walk to the closet, take out a coat that Mrs. Kato had no longer worn, unpick the lining of the coat, and take out a small bag.
Looking at Mr. Kato's actions, Mrs. Kato actually felt like she didn't know what to say.
The other party's private money was actually hidden directly in the bedroom, and even in his clothes in public. It seems that he is well aware of the truth that "the most dangerous place is the safest place."
Mr. Kato had no choice but to lower his head and handed the package over angrily.
Mrs. Kato took it and saw that the Fukuzawa Yukichi inside the bag was rolled up, so that the space in the bag could be better utilized.
If you take it all out, it's actually not a lot, a total of 120,000 yen. If you want to buy that much tuna, it may not be enough.
"What do you plan to do with this money?" Mrs. Kato asked coldly.
"I see that the lining of your coat is torn, so I plan to save money and buy you some better clothes," said Mr. Kato.
Although she knew that the other party was talking nonsense, Mrs. Kato admitted that she was still somewhat touched the moment she heard it.
"I don't need it. I have enough clothes to wear. Since you are using the money to buy clothes for me, I will take it and use it to buy clothes for Xiaohui and Hongmei." Mrs. Kato said.
Mr. Kato's heart was bleeding, but he had to keep nodding in approval.
Mrs. Kato nodded with satisfaction, flattened the twelve pictures of Fukuzawa Yukichi, placed them under the teacup on the bedside table, and prepared to lie down, but suddenly remembered that she had walked out of the room twice and still hadn't washed her face.
Mr. Kato finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Mrs. Kato walk out of the room.
As an expert at hiding private money, Mr. Kato not only has special attainments in hiding places, but also deeply understands the principle that a cunning rabbit has three burrows.
In addition to Mrs. Kato's old coat, Mr. Kato's small treasury is also hidden in many old items.
Of course, once these things are cleared away, Mr. Kato may be in tears, so at home, Mr. Kato is the most opposed to the practice of "De-stuffing".
Looking at the twelve pictures of Fukuzawa Yukichi under the water cup, Mr. Kato couldn't help but feel that the expressions of Fukuzawa Yukichi in the pictures seemed to be mocking him.
[Damn Yushan kid, he actually caused me to lose a small treasury. From now on, I will only have six small treasuries. 】
Mr. Kato gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.
But in the next second, Mr. Kato changed his expression like a Sichuan opera face-changing.
"When did you go to China to study Sichuan Opera?" Mrs. Kato couldn't help but ask.
Several decades ago, Sichuan Opera caused a small-scale craze in Japan, and Mrs. Kato happened to see a Sichuan Opera face-changing performance at that time and still has an impression of it.
"No, no, it's time to rest." Mr. Kato said hurriedly.
Mrs. Kato nodded and lay down. Mr. Kato then breathed a sigh of relief and lay down immediately.
……
"Ah."
Lying on the bed, Yushan Heren sneezed several times in succession and couldn't help but scratch his nose.
"Scumbag senior, do you have a cold?" Domama blinked and looked at Yushan Kazuto, but her body was very honest and automatically kept more than half a meter away from him.
"No, I just sneezed suddenly." Yushan Heren said.
"It must be that the scumbag senior did too many bad things and was cursed." Tsuchima Mai blinked slightly and said.
"What bad thing can I do?" Yushan Heren couldn't help but give Tujianmai a blank look.
