"It's too bland. I'll add more salt next time." Sun Chahua said while eating.

He Hongjun nodded readily, "Okay, I'll put more salt in it next time."

Sun Chahua raised her eyebrows, glanced at He Hongjun, and continued eating noodles.

After breakfast, He Hongjun took out an iron box containing his savings and tickets. He handed the box directly to Sun Chahua, "Chahua, this is my savings, all for you."

Sun Chahua stared blankly at the considerable amount of money and notes in the iron box. She looked up at He Hongjun, feeling somewhat bewildered. "Give me all the money, aren't you afraid that I'll spend it recklessly?"

He Hongjun smiled and said, "You are the mistress of this house, and I am your husband. My father is your father, and you can spend it however you want."

Sun Chahua was stunned for a long time. She had never thought that He Hongjun would give all his money to her and say that his money was hers and she could spend it however she wanted.

Why did He Hongjun say that the way she did things was different from what her mother taught her? And it was different from anything she had seen in the village?

Her mother has been married to my father for more than twenty years, and she has never had more than fifty cents in her pocket. At first, it was said that my grandmother was the housekeeper, and all the money was with my grandmother. Later, when my grandmother passed away and the family was divided, all the money was in my father's hands. Her mother was like an old ox, working as soon as she opened her eyes, eating whatever was given to her, and sleeping as soon as she closed her eyes.

In such a family, she also became a lazy ox. Her mother also told her that men are the sky, it is natural for men to have money, women should not spend money indiscriminately, and all the money in the family should be given to men. Her father spends it, her brother spends it, but she doesn't get to spend it.

Even if you are sick, you can only wait for death.

Even though she knew she was ill and had only a few days to live, her parents still treated her like a workhorse, squeezing out the last of her surplus value. After fainting several times in the fields, she suddenly realized: Why should she be a workhorse? Who was she working so hard for? Who would care if she died of exhaustion? She had a terminal illness anyway, and only a few days to live. She might as well live comfortably, taking it one day at a time and loving whoever she wanted.

It was because she started to act recklessly, not doing any work and no longer being polite when eating that her parents didn't want to support her anymore, so they hurriedly made her get married so that they could get rid of this huge trouble.

When she arrived at her husband's house, they had married her home because of her reputation for working like an ox. But when they found out that she was a lazy woman who only ate and slept and did not work, they were very angry. They couldn't return her, and she fainted at the slightest provocation. So they gave her some travel expenses and sent her to join the army, and let their own son go to train her.

But now, not only did He Hongjun not blame her for not doing housework, he also gave her all his money and let her spend it as she pleased.

Tears fell drop by drop, hitting the back of Sun Chahua's hand and into the money box.

He Hongjun was startled. "What's wrong with you? Why are you crying? What's going on?"

Sun Chahua wiped away her tears hard, but they kept coming out. She wanted to see the man in front of her clearly, but she could not see anything. The grievances and fear of the end of her life that were suppressed in her heart were all released at this moment.

No matter how He Hongjun tried to comfort her, it was no use. His wife cried even harder and harder. He was at a loss and didn't know what to do.

After a long while, Sun Chahua slowly calmed down. She wiped her tears with her sleeve and asked He Hongjun with a choked voice, "Can I use your money to treat my illness?"

He Hongjun was confused, "Huh?"

Sun Chahua's eyes were red, "I don't want to die."
