Transmigrating to the 60s: I Have a Capital Hukou

Jian Shu obtained a spatial dimension. Having read countless novels, she immediately hoarded supplies, preparing for transmigration or the apocalypse.

A few years later, Jian Shu had already ...

Chapter 198 Don't worry

After spending these days together, since Jianshu didn't deliberately hide anything, except for some things that should be kept confidential and not suitable for him to know, there was no special change in the food and daily necessities.

So he easily discovered that Jianshu's staple food was basically rice, and his pasta was mainly white flour and cornmeal. Meat was also present at every meal, whether it was pork, chicken, duck, or fish, there would always be at least one. There were also the usual snacks, clothes in the wardrobe, shoes in the shoe cabinet...

Based on her usual consumption, Gu Mingjing could easily calculate that Jianshu's monthly salary might not be enough for her to spend.

It's not that 40 yuan has low purchasing power, but that the necessities of life are now in limited supply. Everyone can only get what they are entitled to. For example, the supply of rice and pork is definitely not enough for Jianshu to consume.

She had to find some ways to buy things at high prices. In this way, she would have to spend several times more to buy things, and she would definitely not have any money left over from her salary, so she would have to live off her savings.

Of course, Gu Mingjing didn't think there was anything wrong with Jianshu spending all his salary every month and not saving any money. After all, this was the condition his future father-in-law had created for his daughter, and no one else was qualified to judge.

As long as you don't try to be pretentious or pretend to be rich, and live a good life within your ability, there is nothing wrong with that.

So he was just planning to send his salary to Jianshu. They were already in a relationship and she had become his wife, so he couldn't let his father-in-law support his wife.

However, this made Gu Mingjing feel a little pressured.

His father-in-law had raised his wife so well, and he couldn't let Shushu live worse off after marrying him. His current salary was more than enough to support the family, but for the long term, he still had to work hard to get a promotion, after all, he would have to support the whole family in the future.

Believing that Jianshu would be motivated only when there was pressure, Gu Mingjing was already thinking about how to raise his little girl in the future.

Gu Mingjing, who was hoping for a promotion and a raise to support his wife and children, had no idea his suspicions were completely wrong. He assumed Jianshu spent all his monthly salary on expensive items like rice, pork, and flour. Not only did he not save any money after work, but he might even have used up some of his savings.

But the reality is just the opposite.

The expenses he calculated did not exist at all, and Jianshu did not spend any money at all.

Rice, flour, meat, vegetables, and fruits were all grown in the space, so she didn't have to spend a penny; most of the daily necessities were also stockpiled in her previous life, and she didn't have to spend any money either.

These days, the biggest expenses are food and clothing; mortgages and car loans don't even exist. After solving most of the space issues, Jianshu has basically no expenses. Apart from the occasional dining out and shopping trips with Pan Ning and Li Li, the rest of my monthly salary can be saved.

After two years, not only did she not use the passbook, but she also saved some money.

Add in the occasional sales trip, and her piggy bank has grown steadily richer.

Of course, Gu Mingjing didn't know all this, and Jianshu didn't want him to know.

As for revealing her daily habits to him from the start, it was because she didn't want to hide anything. After all, they might end up living together for the rest of their lives, so some things needed to be known in advance. She didn't want to lower her standard of living after getting married. Otherwise, why would she get married? It wasn't like she was crazy, giving up a good life for hardship.

So she did all this on purpose. If Gu Mingjing had complained, she would have kicked him out immediately. Fortunately, Gu Mingjing didn't express any opinions, otherwise he would have become her ex-boyfriend. How could she still have the honor of shopping with Jianshu?

Two people with different views on money cannot last long.

At this time, Jianshu didn't know that Gu Mingjing wanted to support her. When she heard him say that he would send all his passbook and salary to her, she couldn't help but smile.

"You've given me all your money before we even get married? Aren't you afraid that I'll run away with your money? And marry someone else? Then you'll lose your wife anyway." Jian Shu deliberately joked.

"I'm not afraid." Gu Mingjing answered firmly, and then said confidently: "Is there anyone better than me? Shushu will definitely look down on others now that he has me."

He said this without any guilt. He didn't dare to boast that he was the best, but he was confident that there was no one who was better than him or who treated Jianshu better than him. No, it should be said that there was definitely no one who was better than him.

As for Jianshu running away with the money? Gu Mingjing didn't even mention it. If he did, it would be a disparagement of her character.

Looking at his confident look, Jian Shu complained, "You are so shameless."

Over the past few days, the exiled immortal filter that Gu Mingjing had first given her had long since shattered to dust. Appearances can be deceptive. She appears to be a cool, otherworldly exiled immortal. But what is she really like? She's incredibly shameless, never knowing what humility is, and privately, she's not a serious person.

It’s a good thing that there’s no one here right now, otherwise I’d be embarrassed and exposed.

Of course, Jian Shu looked quite disgusted, but in reality, that wasn't the case. If he really hated him like this, Gu Mingjing would have restrained himself long ago. Why would he still be like this?

"Hehe, how can you get married if you don't have a thick skin? If you want to get married, you have to have a thick skin." Gu Mingjing readily accepted Jianshu's evaluation.

What's wrong with being thick-skinned? As long as he can get married, he doesn't care about shame. Besides, being thick-skinned in front of his wife is not shameful, that's what it means to please his wife.

"Okay, let's buy some cakes first and don't waste time." Jian Shu was defeated by Gu Mingjing's shamelessness. She had a sense of shame and couldn't argue with him.

Seeing someone queuing up behind him, he nudged him with his arm and said, "Just buy these three, nothing else. Pay quickly and leave."

Gu Mingjing didn't continue to argue with her. There would be plenty of time to take things slowly in the future, so it would be better not to waste time now.

"Egg cake, peach cake, and sachima, half a pound each." He repeated it to Pan Ning and took out the bill to pay.

The two were some distance away from the counter when they spoke, and their voices were low, and the department store was a bit noisy, so Pan Ning didn't hear their conversation clearly. But from their movements and intermittent words, she could guess the general meaning, and she couldn't help but feel happy for Jian Shu.

When a couple lives together, financial power is the most important thing. How many people would avoid someone who hands over their salary before marriage? And from her observation, Gu Mingjing's eyes were always on Jian Shu, and the tenderness in his eyes could not be hidden. Anyone who saw it could know that he must love her to the extreme.

She felt relieved that Jianshu was marrying such a person.
