Chapter 113 The 1980s: The Male and Female Protagonists' Deaths (39)

The man's eyes were sinister, a look Jin Yin had never seen before.

In her memory, Lu Xu was lazy and casual, seemingly indifferent to everything and uninterested in anything, a true lazybones.

But at this moment, he became a stranger, a figure that Jin Yin did not recognize.

"Don't follow me, my patience is limited."

"You're nothing but a lazy country bumpkin, why should I follow you? Don't be delusional!"

Jin Yin, enraged and embarrassed, turned and left.

When she got home, she lay on the table and cried for a while.

Why was she crying? She didn't know either.

I feel empty inside, as if I've lost something very important.

The year she married Lu Xu, she did think about living a good life with him, but he was too poor. Despite having so many capable friends, he had no ambition and showed no intention of making friends with them.

Jin Yin was exasperated, watching helplessly as Lu Xu's friends rose to prominence and made a fortune, while he remained idle all day, occasionally going out with friends to earn some money for household expenses.

Actually, life wasn't that poor back then. She had food and shelter, and Lu Xu never made her do any work. All she had to do was take care of herself every day.

The women in the village envied her, but she could only see those who lived better lives than her.

Actually, Lu Xu is not bad either.

He was gentle and patient with her, and never asked her to do anything.

If she had chosen Lu Xu back then...

No, she couldn't choose another good-for-nothing man. Chu Dong was a good man, with a good family background and strong connections. Although he wasn't as good-looking or as temperamental as Lu Xu, he was the one who could give her the life she truly wanted.

Thinking of this, Jin Yin wiped away her tears. Since she couldn't sleep, she might as well fight for what she wanted.

With the support of the Chu family, her shop gradually grew in size.

The Chu family took a liking to her family of teachers and intended to groom her as their daughter-in-law.

Jin Yin had long taken it for granted that she would be the boss's wife of the Chu family in the future. In the past two years, she and Chu Dong were always together. Their relationship was known throughout the school, and the teachers turned a blind eye to it.

That evening, Jin Yin knocked on Chu Dong's door.

She walked in with practiced ease, took off her coat, and sat on Chu Dong's bed.

Between the two of them, everything that should have happened and everything that shouldn't have happened happened.

Tonight was no different; the two of them leaned against the bed after they finished.

Chu Dong looked at her coldly.

Whom are you thinking about absentmindedly?

"Nobody expected this, but I want to open a branch. Can you help me?"

"Do you think opening a shop is like selling cabbages? Where's the money? Do you even have any?"

"You do have it. I'll be your wife in the future, so it's only right that you, as her husband, give me money."

Chu Dong smiled, a slight smirk playing on his lips.

"Have I spent enough money on you over the years? Marrying you was too expensive, not worth it."

"What do you take me for? A bargain? What do you take me for?"

"Don't you know what you are? You ask me for money every time you finish something. What do you think you are?"

Jin Yin, you have to give yourself face. If you don't even care about your own face, why would you expect me to give you face?

"If you want to spend our money, don't be so arrogant. I'd be happier if you knelt down, and maybe then I'd give you the money."

A sharp, loud slap.

Chu Dong had never been hit before in his life, and now that he had suddenly been hit like this, he couldn't hold back and immediately slapped back.
