To be honest, Brother Gu and Sister-in-law Gu had never seen so much money before.
"Xiaoya, is it because your third aunt takes care of you and gives you extra money?" Brother Gu asked doubtfully.
It's only been a year, how can you make so much money?
In the summer, they could not earn that much money even if they took the leftover fruits, vegetables, or needles and thread to the county town to sell.
Xiaoya shook her head and said, "No, Dad. My salary is the same as everyone else's. I get commissions, and if I do a good job every month, I can get more money."
"I live and eat at my third aunt's house, and I give her five dollars a month. I occasionally buy food for my grandparents. My own clothes and shoes are basically from my third aunt's store. She gave them to me without asking for money, so I don't have any money to spend."
Mrs. Gu is a good person at managing her life, and the girl she raised, Xiaoya, is also a thrifty person who saves money well. She spends what she should spend and doesn't spend what she shouldn't spend. Zhou Suisui always jokes with Xiaoya, saying that she will be a good wife and daughter-in-law when she gets married.
Mrs. Gu stroked her daughter's smooth hair and said, "Your Third Aunt is really good to you."
Xiaoya smiled and nodded. "Aunt San treats me the same as she treats Brother Mingzhe and the others. She has never treated me unfairly. Mom, I'll give you all this money. Please help me hold it."
"Why does Mom need your money? Keep it for yourself. It will give you more financial support when you get married."
"Mom and Dad, I've really thought about it for a long time. I've met all kinds of people in Beijing, and I really didn't have much experience before. I think the meaning of being a woman shouldn't just be about getting married and having children. I want to live the life I want, so I don't want to marry him. Besides, there's no love between him and me, so it's better to withdraw early so that he won't be held back."
"Silly child, what kind of woman would never marry in her life? Your third aunt is so powerful, but she still got married and had children, didn't she?" said Mrs. Gu.
"Mom, even if I want to get married in the future, I want to marry someone I truly love, not someone I have no emotional connection with."
Everyone in the first house noticed that Gu Xiaoya had grown a lot since her return this time. This growth was not only in appearance, but more of a change in her heart.
Sure enough, people still need to see a bigger world.
Mrs. Gu said to her, "After you left, the Chen family came to our house once. When they found out you were in Beijing, they were very unhappy. They were afraid you would break off the engagement. I had to persuade them and they left reluctantly."
"We are not married, and I didn't sell myself to their family. Why can't I go to Beijing? What right do they have to control me?" Xiaoya said angrily.
Brother Gu and his wife actually thought the same thing. Upon hearing this, they sighed and said nothing.
Shitou said at the side: "Little sister, what is Jing City like? Is it good?"
"Of course I'll do it. Jing City is much, much bigger than here. It's easy to get lost if you're not careful. It's much better there than our county town. I'll live in my third uncle's house when I get to Jing City. You don't know, it's a quadrangle courtyard bought by my third aunt. It's super, super big, much bigger than the house here, with many, many rooms. I'll have my own room there. My third aunt has prepared everything for me."
The others were also very envious when they heard Xiaoya's words.
"I eat whatever my uncle and aunt eat. I work in my aunt's clothing store. The other employees are easy to get along with. I don't have to be exposed to the wind and sun, so it's not tiring at all. As long as I do a good job, I can get more. It's fair. My aunt is really good to me."
"When Mingzhe and the others were on vacation, they would take me out to play. I visited many beautiful places and ate a lot of delicious food. Mingzhe and the others were very good to me. Apart from missing you guys a little bit, I had no bad experiences in Jing City."
Xiaoya continued, "Dad, Mom, when I make a lot of money, I'll bring you all to Beijing and let you enjoy life there too!"
Mrs. Gu looked at her daughter with emotion, "My daughter is really filial, but it's not easy for you there, so take care of yourself first."
Brother Gu also said, "Xiaoya, your uncle, aunt, brothers and sisters are so good to you, you should also be good to them, work hard for your aunt, and don't be lazy or you will be sorry for her, do you know?"
"I understand, Dad." Xiaoya nodded.
"Okay, come back today and Mom will cook meat for you!" Mrs. Gu went to the kitchen happily.
Knowing that Zhou Sui Sui and the others had returned, Mrs. Gu cooked a few more dishes, each of which was very large in portion. After they were cooked, she divided a large portion and sent it to Zhou Sui Sui's home.
"Sister-in-law, what are you doing?" Zhou Suisui said in surprise.
"Third sister-in-law, you just came back and the stove is cold. It must be inconvenient to cook. I'll make some extra and send it to you so you don't have to cook." Mrs. Gu said with a smile.
When Zhou Suisui saw that there was a lot of oil and water in each dish, he knew that Mrs. Gu was really willing to put so much into it.
Father Gu said something rare: "The elders are so thoughtful."
"Mom and Dad, you guys should eat quickly too. It's enough. I've steamed a big pot of steamed buns. Eat quickly. I'm going home to eat first." After saying that, he left in a hurry again.
To be honest, Mrs. Gu is really good at living. At least I have never seen her so generous in all these years.
She guessed that Xiaoya must have said something when she got home, but she didn't care, as she didn't feel like cooking.
It took more than an hour to heat up the house.
This is what a bungalow in the countryside is like. If no one lives in it for a long time, even the bricks will become cold. It is cold from the inside out and there is no vitality.
Gu Jingheng boiled a large pot of hot water so that she could soak her feet every month.
As for Zhou Baosen, let him stay with Da Wa and the others for one night, and let him go back by himself tomorrow. He is such a grown man now, and it is no problem for him to go back to the place where he grew up by himself. There is no need to bother him today.
I just came back, and it was still cold even though the stove was on. Fortunately, Zhou Suisui was holding Gu Jingheng, a big heater.
Now is the time for Gu Jingheng to play his role. Zhou Suisui didn't feel cold at all in his arms, and Gu Jingheng even covered her feet.
Zhou Suisui is thin and is particularly afraid of cold and feels pain when her period comes. She has a cold constitution and is even more afraid of winter. Her hands and feet are often cold.
Gu Jingheng also knew about her problem, so without her saying anything, he came over and held her in his arms to warm her body.
Zhou Suisui nestled in Gu Jingheng's arms and had a sound sleep.
