Chapter 67: Chapter 67: Can’t Let the Daughter Know
Originally, he thought it would take more talking to get the lazybones older brother to leave without splitting their portion of food, but surprisingly, he agreed so easily.
She didn’t believe the eldest could be so reasonable; surely, he would still make a scene and try to get their share of the food!
Just when she was considering asking the eldest to make a pledge, Jiang Changhai pulled his wife back into the house.
Of course, he had the confidence to speak like that.
Now, he was clutching fifty yuan in his hand, and with just three people in the household, casually going to work each day brought in enough food for the three of them.
With so much money, they could live well and drink for over half a year.
As for what to do after the money was spent?
The future would obviously come later; worrying so much now was a waste!
“Brother Hai, is this all money from selling the food?!” Su Wanyu counted the money her husband had brought over, her eyes shining brightly.
Now they had really struck it rich!
“A total of fifty-four yuan!” After counting several times, Su Wanyu carefully hid the money in the drawer by the bed with a lock on it.
Thinking about eating delicious large meat buns every day, she felt as if she were living an immortal’s life.
Jiang Changhai, seeing his wife’s happy expression, was naturally happy too. He patted his chest and related the fabric incident, “When I first saw that bolt of cloth, I had this idea, since fabric is something you can’t even buy with money in the countryside—it’s that scarce and valuable!”
“Brother Hai, you’re really smart!”
Su Wanyu hugged Jiang Changhai and kissed him, looking up with admiration, “My man is awesome! From now on, my daughter and I will just enjoy life following you.”
“Exactly, if I weren’t smart, I wouldn’t have fathered a little genius like Mianmian.” Jiang Changhai laughed heartily, feeling terrific being kissed by his beautiful wife.
In his heart, as long as his wife and daughter were happy, he was happier than anything else.
Looking at the several tens of yuan locked in the drawer, the couple discussed their plans for the upcoming months.
With those fifty-some yuan, not to mention not having to work for food, they could afford to eat and drink lavishly every day!
However…
Jiang Changhai thought it over carefully and looking seriously at Su Wanyu, said, “Still, we need to do some work during this period. It’s the peak time for harvesting. Once we’ve gathered all the crops, we can stay home and do nothing, just live well since we have food and drink.”
He wasn’t oblivious to Sun Lixia’s veiled criticisms; since there were good days ahead, why wouldn’t they enjoy them?
Su Wanyu, aware of the situation, held onto her husband’s arm, agreeing repeatedly. She had long been reluctant to work.
Work was a necessity when they had no money, but now that they had some, who would want to suffer anymore when they could eat their fill?
After calming down a bit, Su Wanyu said, “Right, Brother Hai, we can’t let our daughter know about this fifty-some yuan, otherwise she definitely won’t focus on her studies.”
What lazy tendencies their own daughter had, they knew all too well! Of course, they couldn’t let her know they had so much money, otherwise the girl would get too lazy to strive for scholarships.
“Alright, we won’t tell our daughter. But we’ll definitely take good care of her eating and drinking. She can’t go on without nutrition while studying hard at school.”
Jiang Changhai had already planned to provide extra meals for his daughter for the next few months.
Now was the time when his daughter was growing. They didn’t have the means before, but now with money, they naturally wanted to give her the best of everything. @@novelbin@@
Of course, his wife couldn’t be left out either!
What do you think?
