“You spend money so extravagantly, of course we need to set some rules, otherwise if you spend all our money, the two of us... and Duoduo will be left with nothing.”

Liang Zhirou said very seriously.

Duoduo, who was lying on the coffee table, immediately perked up upon hearing this.

Is it finally its turn to repay the favor and take these two two-legged creatures out to rummage through trash cans to make a living?

It looked down at its paws; its current size was vastly different from before.

Going back to fight those stray cats that used to bully it would be a complete massacre!

Unfortunately, the two two-legged creatures had no idea what it was thinking at that moment, nor did they have any intention of picking up trash to eat.

Liang Zhirou cleared her throat, mimicking Chen Lu's usual manner.

"First, you can no longer spend money to buy drones and fireworks for me to watch."

Then, she held up a second finger, "Secondly, if you spend more than a thousand at once, you need to report it to me."

"Thirdly, from now on I'm the pillar of our family, so you...you're not allowed to bully me..."

Liang Zhirou spoke with rather pride.

Chen Lu looked up curiously and asked, "When did I bully you?"

"You're bullying me if you call me stupid," Liang Zhirou said, puffing out her cheeks in grievance.

Otherwise, after finishing her classes during the day, she would have to draw to support her family and do housework, not to mention endure Chen Lu's harassment.

Wouldn't it be so pitiful if he bullied me again...?

Chen Lu found it amusing and snorted, "Fine, I agree."

The girl couldn't help but smile slightly. She took out a bank card from her bag and intended to hand it directly to Chen Lu, but then she had a sudden idea. She pretended to be a rich woman in a TV drama who keeps a gigolo and patted Chen Lu's face twice with the bank card.

Wow, this is suddenly even more enjoyable.

Is this what it feels like to be a rich woman?

"Okay, here you go," Liang Zhirou said with a smile.

"What is this?"

Chen Lu glanced at the bank card in her hand and still subconsciously asked.

Didn't they say they were going to agree on three rules? Why are they suddenly giving me money? What's going on here?

"A bank card." The girl's small hands trembled as she bit her lip and tried to turn her face away, seemingly reluctant as she voluntarily stuffed the bank card into Chen Lu's hand.

"There's 100,000 yuan in there that I saved up for my wedding... my wedding..."

Liang Zhirou stopped talking.

"You're treating us to dinner and all sorts of things, which will definitely cost money. Just take it and use it, and remember our three rules."

"Do you have any money left?" Chen Lu asked hurriedly, as he always suspected that Liang Zhirou had given him all her savings.

Liang Zhirou lowered her head, counted on her fingers for a moment, and said softly:

"We still have our living expenses for this month on WeChat, enough for groceries and daily necessities, enough to last until my royalties come in next month."

While Chen Lu was still in a daze, the girl slowly got up from the sofa, walked to the calendar with her hands behind her back, and tapped the dates on it with her fingertips.

Being busy has its advantages; time seems to fly by.

After a while, she turned around and smiled at Chen Lu again.

"Thirty-two days left."

Chen Lu knew exactly what the simpleton was counting. He chuckled, stretched, and prepared to go out to run errands.

After thinking about it, he put the bank card that Liang Zhirou had given him into his pocket.

Seeing how happy the simpleton was, he felt embarrassed to say that he had actually left a little money for the two of them as living expenses.

Let's just pretend that money never existed.

"I have something to do tonight, I won't be eating at home," he said softly as he walked to the entryway to change his shoes.

"Are you having dinner with clients?"

Chen Lu turned around and waved the bank card in his hand, "To be precise, it's for extortion."
