Yang Tao went out to buy vegetables with a basket and was stopped by Xiao Zheng.

"What vegetables do we buy every day? How much does our family spend on vegetables per month?"

Yang Tao didn't understand, but he still answered truthfully.

Xiao Zheng shook off the newspaper in his hand and said casually, "Let Xiao Liu go shopping for groceries this month."

Yang Tao was puzzled. "Why? My aunt always said I'm good at buying vegetables, and the ones I pick are really fresh."

Xiao Zheng said calmly, "Xiao Liu just came home, let him get familiar with his various positions."

Xiao Liu is the new civil servant in the family. He is indeed not familiar with everything. In the past, whenever there was a newcomer in the family, Yang Tao would take him for a run.

On the surface, he didn't seem to be sick, but Yang Tao still felt something was wrong.

But she couldn't tell what was strange about it.

"Then...then let him follow me."

"Don't worry about it. Let him go buy groceries. Go to Deputy Director Wang's house and help me deliver something."

Yang Tao didn't think much about it, just said "oh" and handed over the right to buy groceries to Xiao Liu.

Xiao Zheng gave Xiao Liu a wink. Xiao Liu was embarrassed for a while, but finally sighed and walked out with a fearless attitude.

He is a soldier, so he has to listen to his superiors. If his superiors ask him to embezzle money for vegetables, he dare not disobey!

At this moment, Xiao Liu had already made a plan. If the truth ever came to light, he would have to take the blame for the leader in front of his aunt. Alas, sacrificing personal morality for a political future was unbearable...

Xiao Liu was cautious in his work and didn't dare to take more bribes every day. It wasn't until two months later that he finally took away the 100 yuan.

Xiao Liu handed the hundred yuan in small change to Xiao Zheng and saluted him excitedly.

Mission accomplished!

The mission will never be in vain!

Xiao Zheng nodded with satisfaction, patted Xiao Liu on the shoulder, and said the word "䗽" three times in a row.

The next day, the crumpled stack of money was transferred to Secretary Qiao's hands.

Secretary Qiao thought the chief had forgotten about it. He had never thought of asking the chief to pay back the money, so he quickly waved his hand and refused, "No, this..."

"What nonsense are you talking about?!" Xiao Zheng interrupted angrily, "You borrowed money and still don't pay it back? Take it!"

At Xiao Zheng's order, Secretary Qiao took the thick stack of change and sniffed. "Hmm? Why does the money smell like onions?"

After some trouble, the one hundred yuan shortage was finally filled.

Moreover, his daughter-in-law didn't find out that he had embezzled the money for vegetables.

Everyone is happy.

However, Xiao Zheng suddenly had an idea. People still need to have some disposable money. Should he save some private money? If he encountered this situation again next time, he would not have to rack his brains to raise money.

So the question arises again, how to save private money? Where does the money come from?

Embezzling food money is not a long-term solution and may be discovered over time.

Should he ask his wife for money? He hadn't asked his wife for a penny in eight hundred years. If he suddenly asked for it, what excuse would he have?

Xiao Zheng sat there in deep thought, his chin supported by his hand, his brows furrowed, his expression extremely solemn.

If you don’t know him, you might think he is thinking about some national affairs.

After much thought, Xiao Zheng still felt that the money could only come from his wife.

At night, after tidying up and lying down on the bed, An Huan played Tetris for a while as usual.

Xiao Zheng leaned over to take a look and said, "I can easily break this record for you."

An Huan glanced at him and said, "You're bragging."

"Tsk, how about we make a bet?"

"What are you betting on?"

Here it comes! Xiao Zhengkong suppressed his excitement and said, "Just bet ten dollars."

An Huan curled her lips, "Do you have money to pay if you lose?"

Xiao Zheng: “….”

An Huan said sympathetically, "If you win, I'll give you one dollar. If you lose, you have to do three things for me."

"Why is it a piece?"

"Ten is too much, let's just have a small bet for fun."

Xiao Zheng said regretfully: "Okay."

Ten minutes later.

Xiao Zheng appeared to be playing it down, but in reality he said excitedly, "It's broken."

An Huan said reluctantly, "Okay, I'll give you one dollar tomorrow."

"Why do you want to die?"

"I'm lying in bed now." An Huan gave him a puzzled look. "Are you worried?"
