The weather is nice today, quite sunny and breezy.

As the sun sets in the evening, the people in the courtyard sit together and chat.

The gentlemen gathered together, discussing national affairs, domestic and international events, and boasting a bit.

The women sat together and discussed which mother-in-law treated her daughter-in-law badly, and which daughter-in-law was selfish and mistreated her mother-in-law.

The children didn't care about any of that and ran around wildly inside and outside the yard.

However, none of this concerned Liu Yun. She and Yu Qian were at home bathing the triplets, and they just wanted to finish washing up as quickly as possible and wait for it to get dark.

After dark, the people in the compound gradually went home. The two quickly locked the doors and windows, coaxed the triplets to sleep, and then counted the money.

This is because Yu Qian and his wife finally found a place to live a couple of days ago. There's a detached house near the river; the owner's son is serving in the military in the south, and his wife recently became pregnant. The couple planned to go and take care of her. Their son had long wanted them to come and live with him in his old age, but they hadn't gone yet. Now that his wife is pregnant, and both he and his wife have jobs, they're planning to sell the house and go help.

Yu Qianhe has already gone to see the house. It has a main room, a kitchen, and four rooms, with a small courtyard in front. However, the price is a bit expensive, asking for 800 yuan. So tomorrow, Sunday, he plans to take Liu Yun to see it. If it's suitable, they'll buy it directly.

After Yu Qianhe closed the doors and windows, he saw his wife take out a small box from the cabinet (actually, Liu Yun claimed that Yu Qianhe went out to close the door and secretly took it out of the space), and then take out a box from the bedside table. When she opened it, there was a bankbook and stacks of money and tickets inside.

Yu Qian was stunned when he saw the stack of tickets. He hadn't expected there to be so many. However, considering that Liu Yun mainly bought food and had her clothes made by Cheng Ke, and hadn't even had clothes made recently, it wasn't a problem to have so many tickets.

He opened the bankbook and immediately panicked, "Honey, am I seeing things?! Six thousand yuan! We have so much money, and you've never spent any of it?"

"I haven't used it much. I haven't touched a single penny of what you gave me. I can't even spend all of my own salary. I saved quite a bit before I got married, and you gave me quite a bit too, so I saved it all up." Actually, Liu Yun had another savings account in her space with two thousand yuan in it, but she didn't plan to mention it.

"Don't we have to spend money on all that food and supplies?" Yu Qianhe realized for the first time that he couldn't do math.

“Those foods are very cheap in the countryside. Sometimes you don’t even need money. You can just exchange them with coupons. Anyway, I don’t need many of the coupons. For example, cloth coupons. My sister and Cheng Ke have plenty of them.”

Yu Qianhe strongly agreed with this, as coupons were indeed very popular in rural areas, with cloth coupons and industrial coupons being the most popular.

"Clothing and other items don't cost much. Like our internal defective products and internal exchange meetings, whenever I see something useful, I buy it all. We buy cheap things and a lot of them don't require coupons. Then we give all the things we don't need to Cheng Ke, your mom, my mom, and my sister. Now my sister-in-law and her family often ask me to bring things back for them. They always pay me the original price, so I can still make a little profit. As for clothes, my sister often gives me fabric. Whenever my brother-in-law brings my sister some nice things, my sister will give me some in return. Those things don't cost much either. I often bring things back for Cheng Ke, and she doesn't have to pay me. She often makes clothes for me for free. The things I bring her are nothing to me. So the money has been saved up. Come on, let's count how much cash we have here! Let's see how much we need so we can go to the bank to withdraw money." After saying that, she pushed the box to Yu Qian and asked him to count it while she sorted out the receipts.

Yu Qianhe had no idea how Liu Jing and Cheng Ke got along or kept accounts with their wives. He also didn't expect Liu Jing to give Liu Yun so much fabric. He had previously assumed those packages were bought by Liu Yun and Liu Jing, but it turned out they were gifts. Is this how girls, sisters, always get along?

He really didn't know that. He had no sisters, only three brothers, and had few interactions with girls. However, his three brothers had always been very good to him. They would give him almost anything he asked for, as long as it was reasonable. He just rarely asked for anything. But things changed after his brothers got married. He understood, after all, they had their own little families now.

Is the way sisters get along different from how brothers get along? No one really can answer that for him.

In fact, Liu Yun wasn't lying. Liu Jing and Cheng Ke did give her a lot of things, but the things she gave them weren't much to her.

What she didn't say was that she sent them all big meals of meat and fish. Chicken, duck, and fish were nothing compared to fruit. When the two of them were pregnant, she almost never stopped sending them seasonal fruit. She didn't charge them much; it was all given as a gift. You have to understand that in those days, fruit wasn't something you could buy just because you had money. The price of fruit was no cheaper than meat.

After counting, there was 568.25 yuan in cash. It's May now, and Yu Qian has already handed over 500 yuan this year. This amount is normal and obvious. It's true that Liu Yun said he basically didn't spend the money she gave him. This is a big blow to him. He always thought that he was working hard to earn money so that his wife could live a life where she could buy whatever she wanted and eat whatever she wanted. He didn't expect that his wife could do it herself, and he was still spending his wife's money.

Actually, all this money was Yu Qianhe's salary this year. She just grabbed a handful more from her own salary and put it in. There's still more in her storage space!

"Then just withdraw four hundred yuan. We might buy some things and spend some money, but it's almost the end of the month and we'll get paid soon, so we don't need to withdraw too much." Liu Yun had already made up her mind to buy the house. No matter what the house was like, just for the four bedrooms, one living room, one bathroom, one kitchen, and a small yard, plus the future river view, she had to get it.
